Posted September 20, 201014 yr 4-0 Marlins CG Shutout by Vols (yes, I'm serious) Grand Slam from Brad Davis.
September 20, 201014 yr Once again, worth mentioning it was the quickest game in Marlins history at 1:56 1:52.
September 20, 201014 yr Author Once again, worth mentioning it was the quickest game in Marlins history at (I believe) 1:56. Buehrle-esque
September 20, 201014 yr Volstad doesn't suck! Even Frank Burns has an occasional good day in the Operating Room
September 20, 201014 yr I was at the game and I have to admit the game was going so fast I didn't even notice Volstud had a shutout going on til the 7th. He had everything working for him today, live fastball, sharp slider, good changeup and his curve got Pujols to wiff twice. I hope he can finish out the season like this and either become good trade bait for next year or can continue his success on a consistent basis and be our number 4 or 5. Also, i think it should be noted that there was a surpassingly big crowd at the stadium today for a 3:10 Game on a Monday! They said they had sold 12,000 tickets but it looks like there was as solid 8 to 9 thousand there
September 20, 201014 yr Didn't see the game so wondering what was different about Volstad today? Attacking hitters? Good pitch selection? Ground balls or fly balls?
September 20, 201014 yr Didn't see the game so wondering what was different about Volstad today? Attacking hitters? Good pitch selection? Ground balls or fly balls? He was definitely challenging hitters even Pujols and Holliday with 1st pitch fastballs on the inside and outside corners but other then that all of his offspeed pitches were on. 2 Seam/Sinker mixed with Changeups and Sliders kept the hitters off balance beating balls into the ground, then if he needed to he broke off about 5 or 6 nasty 12-6 Curves to get outs and one even K'd Pujols. His educed a sh*t load of grounders and the only balls I remember that were hit hard were the Holliday Double of the wall in the 1st, Molina double in the 9th and a Pujols lineout to Uggla.
September 21, 201014 yr Why can't Volstad pitch like this more often? Serious question. Because he's only 23 and still learning and getting experience. Serious answer
September 21, 201014 yr Ok, I thought this was just a joke -- having missed this game. Wow is all I can say. Perhaps Volstad just can't pitch when he's on tv?? Radio-only games for everytime Volstad pitches for now on!! Ok not really
September 21, 201014 yr How about the GS from Davis? That man really wants to be our backup next year
September 21, 201014 yr How about the GS from Davis? That man really wants to be our backup next year Just upset I missed it. I watch the horrible games and miss the good ones..figures. But awesome that Davis hit a GS!
September 21, 201014 yr Even Frank Burns has an occasional good day in the Operating Room I don't think anybody else got that.:shifty
