PrintMiami Marlins at Los Angeles Dodgers, Jul 10, 2008 10:10 PM EDT
The Marlins are looking to continue their winning ways in Chavez Ravine tonight.
Johnson will take the hill for the Marlins for the first time in over a year. From what I've read he will be on a strict pitch count of 100 pitches. Meaning if they pull him during the middle of facing a batter, you will know why. Don't read too much into his first start back since it may take a few to adjust the majors again. Though it is nice he will making his first start in a pitcher's ballpark.
Park will start once again in place of Brad Penny and he has yet to lose a start at home. In fact, he has a miniscule 0.62 ERA in games started at Dodger Stadium. Given his history, that can't last. Should he not be able to paint the corners he can be hit and hard at that. If he is painting or has a favorable ump, it is going to take some work. He rarely goes past 6 innings.
Welcome to the second installment of Midnight Baseball.
Ichthyomancy is ready to play all the way to the All-Star break. Best of Luck to You!

Park gets shelled (not enough?)
—> Park leaves before 5.1 innings, gives up at least 4 runs

Uggla (or Hanley if Uggla doesn’t play)
Park: L
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.
it’s like before christmas as a kid. you don’t know if youre getting a rad new bike or another pair of socks and underwear from grandma.
Well,
I suspect he’ll start out as socks and underwear before rounding into shape as that rad new bike that triumphantly carries you over the snowy, perilous hill of the NL East standings.
Or did I just kill the analogy?

I have a bad feeling about this
37,900
Jacobs
Marlins 2+ RBI w/ RISP
"This will all end in tears, I just know it."
Just call him...
Captain Not-Clutch…
... Hermida would have knocked park out of the game with a base hit there
That's the brilliance of Hermida.
Knowing that Park is weak tonight, he didn’t want to force him out too early. Instead, he left Park in so we could bleed him slowly. That Hermida is such a smart player.
...
Now, the decision to go with Hendrickson or Joey the Fish….

I've thought that
practically every at bat I’ve watched after his first…
I wish they would use him as trade bait… let gonzo play right field… or ameza… or ross…
Walking the winning run into scoring position.....
is normally considered to be a bad ideal. May I suggest a DP
i'm calling it...
Hanley walk off home run
how? he hits home run, crawls around bases, dodgers suddenly feel like their in eastern standard time and fall asleep
probably because he's shakey...
but lets be serious… unless we get mariano rivera or papelbon somehow… any closer is shakey at times..
okay after that hit i’m more nervous
The key with Gregg is walks.....
If he doesn’t give up a walk—he normally does well.
If he starts walking batters—then the trouble starts.
(Also insert errors by the defense for walks for the same result)

Amazing!
Anyway, I’m watching the LA feed thanks to mlb.tv and after the home run Vin Scully just mutters “holy mackeral, what a player.” Then, after noting that Hanley is 14 for his last 20 at bats in Dodger stadium once again says “Holy cow, what a player!”
Right you are, sir.
jj's start?
Say what you will about that unlucky third inning – I was quite impressed
true
I was just happy to see the velocity and solid control were there
hanley
is in the process of replacing CJ as my favorite ever fish
I am ashamed
for not commenting earlier. I tend to work nights, but that might be changing soon, so hopefully I’ll be around these for more gamenight threads
scully again:
re: hanley. “Boy, what a player.”
I love it.
