Projected Starting Pitchers

Garrett Stephenson & Brad Penny

 

*WQAM, FSN, at 1:35*

 

Ramp's prediction: 7-1 Marlins

marlins take the series with a win over the cards 2-1

encarnacion will bring in the only two runs from he marlins with a 2 run homer over the teal tower with castillo 2nd.

 

lol :o

I'd like to see Brian Banks get the start in LF and Ramon Castro at catcher.

nice idea

I believe the game is on PAX...

Matty's prediciton: Cards over Marlins 5-3.

DT's Prediction: 5-2 Marlins

I know how most of us are disappointed in TH's play this far. His numbers against G Stephenson are 5-8 (2 doubles). Let's get the win today!

I'm intrigued to see our new bullpen additions as I bet they get a look tonight. I'm hoping they bring up Alvarez to replace AJ's roster spot because he looked awesome in spring training and felt shafted. Bringing him to the show serves two purposes: 1) Get another talented lefty in the bullpen 2) Rebuild his confidence and relationship with the big club

 

:plain

Andy Fox and Red will replace Luis and Pudge to give them days off this afternoon. Fox will hit in the 2-hole and Red in the 7th slot with A Gon hitting 6th. I would love to see A. Gone hitting in the second spot just to experiment. He is friggin lights out! Fox is playing great so far this year and is hitting .350

Shamrock,

 

Are you aware of any other Marlins that have a lot of success against Garrett?

I believe both Luis and JP are batting .333 off him. This info is from various sources btw. Maybe Fox was batting higher against Garret or else I would wonder why Louie was given the day off.

Expos losing (finally) 3-0 to the Stros

Brewers and ATL tied at 1-1

Mets losing 1-0 to Dbacks

 

All in the first inning though

 

:plain

Drew triples.

runner on third, 1 out for Penny in the first.

 

:plain

1-0 Cards on Pujols sac fly. Edmonds singles to center. man on first 2 outs

Penny looks like crap...

 

sac fly by Pujols...1-0 Cards

 

Edmonds singles

 

Rolen doubles...2-0 Cards

Penny getting hit very hard as Cards take 2-0 lead in the first on Rolen's RBI double. Man on 2nd 2 outs. (Edmonds single was nearly a homer)

 

:plain

Penny escapes further damage by getting Tino to groundout

JP grounds out...

 

Foxy hits a bullet off the RF wall..... a double...

 

Encarnacion lines a shot, but Pujols makes the catch...

 

Lowell up...gets under one...fly out to the RF warning track

Fox is looking excellent this season! Currently batting .400 :cool

We hit the ball hard in the first. Hopefully we can get a few of these into the gaps and away from fielders in the next inning.

 

:plain

Sometimes with Penny it seems like he is lights out or he gets lit up..there's no in between

Penny settles retiring the side in order on 7 pitches. Threw first pitch strikes to 2/3 batters.

I predict a high scoring game in this one. Marlins are tagging G Stephenson with nothing to show yet. But, I bet after 5 we have at least 4 runs.
