Open Thread and Ichthyomancy: Marlins at Nationals (7/5)

by craig on Jul 5, 2006 3:40 PM EDT in News and Rumors

The Marlins will try again for their first win of July. Maybe tonight is the night.

The starting pitcher for the Marlins is Yusmeiro Petit. The Nationals will trot out Mike O'Connor to the mound.

Game time is 7:05 p.m.

This will be Petit's first start as a Marlin.

O'Connor, the 2005 Nationals' minor league pitcher of the year, is a lefty.

Ichthyomancy is good to go. Be sure to get your picks in on time.

I'm changing my AAB pick -

Cabrera: AB+R+H+RBI>7

Translation

H+R+RBI>3?

You know he's getting 4AB's (unless he walks I guess)

Hammer!

Love that Hammer came back with that Homer after getting the rest.

Skump breaker?

Hah!

Way to bust out the old-school Skump-reference, Rajah.

Glad I got home in time to watch some of the game, for once...

Taking the fun out of it - for everyone.

Slugfest!

Gotta think Uggla gets one player of the game awards. He is getting warmed up for the All-Star game Lots of fantasy owners had a great day with this one:

Uggla 6-4-4-4
Cabrera 5-2-2-4
Willingham 6-2-4-3
Helms 5-1-2-3
Clayton 5-1-3-3
Vidro 4-2-3-2

Other fantasy owners will wake up crying in their coffee when they see this box score:

O'Connor 1.0 - 4+1 5
Rivera 0.1 - 8+1 7

And Pinto gets the save giving up four runs in three innings. The way managers use bullpens these days, you don't see too many three-inning saves anymore

by c60 on Jul 5, 2006 10:50 PM EDT reply actions

I have Uggla on my team

and sat him accidently while he was hurt. Since I can only make changes on Sunday in my league, I couldn't fix it.

Whoops.

Sucks for me.

AAB

Thought I nailed that one.

by HadMatter on Jul 6, 2006 9:12 AM EDT up reply actions

I assumed 1 Hit was a pitching stat

Did you mean something else?

by craig on Jul 6, 2006 11:28 AM EDT up reply actions

Yea

I meant he would get his 1st hit. Should have made that more clear, your call.

We will split the difference

you would have normally gotten 5 points for that pick. but since stats for pitches are always considered pitching stats unless otherwise designated It is worth 2.
