July 17, 201115 yr Marlins take 3 of 4 from Cubs! Trader Jack has this team rollin'! Bullpen was fantastic! 3 games to .500!
July 17, 201115 yr The decision to pull volstad after three innings kind of troubled me knowing Hensley starts tomorrow..
July 17, 201115 yr Author The decision to pull volstad after three innings kind of troubled me knowing Hensley starts tomorrow.. It's the way Jack coaches, I think either he said it or Tommy said it but he plays to win today, not tomorrow, he will worry about what happens tomorrow...tomorrow. Volstad looked to have settled down but he (Jack) took a risk when we had a chance to take the lead, we won the game when it was all said and done. Hopefully Hensley becomes this great starter out of nowhere I'm excited for tomorrow!
July 17, 201115 yr The bullpen is fine for tomorrow because Badenhop went 3 innings, anyway. And I vote for the 2B umpire.
July 17, 201115 yr Pulling Volstad so soon just didn't make much sense to me. I found it unnecessary. After all, the last inning he had pitched, he'd looked better. And yes, there is also the fact that Henstley will start tomorrow; in case of anything, I'd want the pen fully rested.
July 17, 201115 yr I trust Jack's instinct with Volstad. He looked awful for most of his outing, despite only giving up 4 runs. I figured he would have given up more had he not been pulled. Hopefully Hensley can give us something tomorrow, but it's going to be an uphill battle.
July 17, 201115 yr Im hoping for 5 innings from hensley tomorrow meaning we would need dunn to probably do the 6th and 7th and then sanches run the last two, possibly throw in Hatcher if we bat well
July 17, 201115 yr nice way to take the series and we almost were able to take all 4. volstad was horrible to start off so i dont really question jack taking him out though it was obviously out of the ordinary.
July 17, 201115 yr Probably shouldn't have won that game because of the missed call by the 2B ump, but I'll take it!

July 18, 201115 yr Author Probably shouldn't have won that game because of the missed call by the 2B ump, but I'll take it! There have been games this year that have had missed calls that cost us the game, 1 or 2. It all balances out, and I'm not so sure the tag was even applied on Hayes.

However, I'll take it.
July 18, 201115 yr I'm gonna guess Jack pulled volstad more because of his attitude/demeanor Which was what? He was pitching like sh*t....which is why he had a short day.
July 18, 201115 yr Hopper going 3 scoreless saved the pen. Too bad we aren't asking Hopper to go 6 at the start of games. It would be nice to see something besides Volsuck.

Pretty sure its been tried, and pretty sure he gets hammered thr 2nd time through the lineup. It was tried two years ago. Badenhop is much more experienced now. And Volstad has a problem getting hammered every time through the lineup.
July 18, 201115 yr Another umpire screw-up decides the game. And there we're two yesterday. Increased instant replay is imminent. And I can't wait. Do you think the Cubs fans hate the Marlins more than any other team? I feel a little sorry for them. The way the Marlins won the game today was like twisting a knife in the wound.
July 18, 201115 yr No, not really. Right now I think Cubs fans hate the Cubs more than any other team.
