Posted July 12, 201311 yr Washington Natinals: 1. CF: Denard Span 2. SS: Ian Desmond 3. LF: Bryce Harper 4. 3B: Ryan Zimmerman 5. 1B: Adam LaRoche 6. RF: Jayson Werth 7. 2B: Anthony Rendon 8. C: Wilson Ramos 9. SP: Stephen Strasburg Miami Marlins: 1. LF: Justin Ruggiano 2. 3B: Ed Lucas 3. RF: Giancarlo Stanton 4. 1B: Logan Morrison 5. CF: Marcell Ozuna 6. 2B: Derek Dietrich 7. SS: Adeiny Hechavarria 8. C: Rob Brantly 9. SP: Nathan Eovaldi The dude pitching for Washington is a complete scrub so the Marlins should be facing an easy blowout win tonight.

July 12, 201311 yr Even though it was right down the middle, everyone knew a fastball was coming then.
July 12, 201311 yr His fastball actually has decent movement, from what I've seen. Especially when he slows it down to 93, 94 and allows more movement.
