Open Thread and Ichthyomancy: Braves at Marlins (4/15)

by craig on Apr 15, 2008 10:07 AM EDT

Atlanta Braves at Miami Marlins, Apr 15, 2008 7:10 PM EDT

Next Game

Tuesday, Apr 15, 2008, 7:10 PM EDT
Dolphin Stadium

Clear. Winds blowing from left to right field at 15-20 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 70.

The National League East Leading Marlins welcome the Braves to JRS for a three-game series. The Braves are winding down a 11 game road trip.

Olsen hasn't had much luck against the Braves in the past but that doesn't mean he won't tonight. If Scott can keep his pitches down, he should be fine.

Jurrjens is a young kid who originally was with the Detroit organization and will be making his third start for Atlanta. If I remember correctly he is fast ball, slider pitcher who also has a curve ball. Needless to say he has never faced the Marlins before.

Ichthyomancy is well rested from the off-day and is ready to go. Good Luck!

VandenHurk

I just saw on Carolina’s transaction page that VandenHurk was placed on the DL today, retro to Sunday. It doesn’t say what’s wrong with him, though. Hopefully, it’s nothing serious.

Ollie!

What a breath of fresh air that was. Great game

by The Architect on Apr 15, 2008 9:49 PM EDT reply actions

Excellent

Very good stuff. Braves have a very solid lineup and it’s incredible that we shut them out.

A couple walked-in insurance runs never hurt either…
