PrintMiami Marlins at Atlanta Braves, Apr 24, 2008 7:10 PM EDT
The NL East Leading Marlins are going for another series win tonight.
The Hopper ran into a little difficulty when he gave up 5 walks in three innings in his last start. However, Badenhop thinks he knows what the problem was :
"The way I throw the ball it's normally low,'' Badenhop said. "I went out there the other day and tried to throw the ball low. When I do that then I'm throwing it out of the zone. When the ball is up, that's when I should try to throw the ball low.''
If that is indeed the case, he should look more like the Hopper we have high hopes for. This will be his first appearance, ever, against Atlanta.
James is an emergency call-up from Triple-A taking Tom Glavine's spot in the rotation. The Marlins faced him twice last season as a starter and didn't hit him for crap. In fact, in the two games, the Marlins only managed one run against him but did put together eleven strikeouts. But this season is all about busting trends like this. James is a lefty so look for Cody to play somewhere.
Ichthyomancy is set on ready and if the servers are willing then it is full steam ahead. And as always, Good Luck!

I noticed that Rich and Tommy got an e-mail about Dan’s clutchiness stat last night…. Rich had some problems navigating the website though…

Just to clarify
My AAB should be Marlins XBH > Non XBH, i.e., Singles

Hopper: 6 IP and first ML win
Oh it was me that emailed in about the clutch stat last night. Unfortunately they didn’t read the whole thing so FishStripes and dan didn’t get a shout out… but boy did Tommy perk up when he heard it!

I'm doin the Fish again. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
Nope
but it is a little glitchy on Comcast and they have the Magic & Raptors listed as playing now.
That sport must explain the no TV last Tue and tommorow!
"This will all end in tears, I just know it."
I guess the Marlins are taking to heart the old adage
Win the three games series, split the even game series and you are playoff bound
Picks for Friday
I figured I would get this in now. I got online earlier before I went to work but the site was down so I couldn’t post my picks.

Olsen; Quality start
Ichthyomancy is cancelled for the second night in-a-row
As most of you know FishStripes was down for most of Thursday before the game. Therefore the only fair thing to do, since everyone didn’t get the chance to make their picks, is to cancel the night’s contest.
I know, I know—it sucks. But that was the hand we were dealt and is the only one we can play.
We will try it again tomorrow and hopefully the tech guys, who have been working their butts off, will get the SB Nation stable again
