Dodger Stadium

	W-L	G	GS	CG	SHO	SV	BS	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	K	ERA	WHIP
2008 - Andrew Miller	5-8	19	19	0	0	0	0	99.0	112	64	56	6	45	77	5.09	1.59

	W-L	G	GS	CG	SHO	SV	BS	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	K	ERA	WHIP
2008 - Chad Billingsley	8-8	20	18	0	0	0	0	109.1	96	46	41	8	50	115	3.38	1.34

Breakout the brooms because the Marlins are going for the sweep. Probably more important than getting a sweep is that a win will assure the Marlins will finish no worse than second before the All-Star break and could end up being in first place in the NL East.

Miller's control has been inconsistent of late. When he is on: he is very good. When he is not: not so good. For some obscure reason, he tends to pitch better in Sunday day games. The first couple of innings will let you know how he is going to pitch today.

Billingsley, if he stays in rhythm, can be very tough. If he starts falling behind in the count, he will walk hitters and with men on base he is easier to hit. Billingsley is a very good day game pitcher.

Ichthyomancy is ready for the usual Sunday day game. Best of Luck to You!

Great moments in managerial history:

“I see that we’re down 9-1 after a few innings. You know, Uggla’s got a bad ankle, has looked uncomfortable at the plate, and will be in both the home run derby and all-star game. Should I take him out of a blowout loss and let him rest his ankle? Nah….”
