PrintMiami Marlins at Atlanta Braves, Apr 15, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
The best record in baseball Marlins are in action again today against the Braves.
Andrew Miller will be making his first start of the season. This should be interesting.
Derek Lowe and his sinker have been very sharp so far this season.
Ichthyomancy is good to go.
Best of Luck to You!
[Game note] Chipper is out of the lineup for today's game and possibly tomorrow's.

Miller
“And his name…is DAN UGGLA!!!”
AC/DC + Tampa Bay Rays = Big Balls on a Budget
Run Forrest Run
I’m running the 1040k tonight and will be listening to most of the game while I run. So I’m hoping for some running and some runs. Don’t bring me down Miller.

Marlins: 3+ steals, 5+ runs

I ended up having to stay at work late
and didn’t make it. A little upsetting. Hopefully will make it to the Corporate Run though…
Well, for an inning in which Miller allowed a run...
…I’ve seen worse. Only one hit, and none of the guys who were out hit the ball that well. Still very worried about the guy being out there, but the Marlins’ hitters had a better first inning than the Braves’ did.
and speaking of things I missed...
I didn’t catch the Aflac answer last night, on the three active pitchers with 10+ years and no DL trips. I knew Lowe, but who are the other two?
Marlins Stadium: When It's Raining, The Roof Will Happen!
Javier Vasquez and Livan Hernandez, oddly enough. I guessed Hernandez, but drew a blank on the other two.
makes sense
I should have thought about Livan, and considering the eight million times they talked about “Over the last nine seasons, Vazquez is Xth in Stat Y” I suppose I should have realized.

ahahahahaha
14 at-bats — “now that’s a good sample size” “Yep, good sample”
save me.
Marlins Stadium: When It's Raining, The Roof Will Happen!
a left-fielder actually caught a Marlins fly
Shocked.
Marlins Stadium: When It's Raining, The Roof Will Happen!
Lowe's on my fantasy team...
I’m okay with the Marlins hitting him. Someone’s going to hit everyone eventually. But if the Marlins hit him and then don’t even have the decency to win the game…
Yeah boy, way to take a walk.
That’ll teach ’em… I guess.

I'm following this on gameday
Is Miller actually pitching well?’
Not gonna lie, I’m a little stunned
You know, Miller’s not a great pitcher, but there were several starts last year where he was really effective. Five starts in which he allowed 1 or 0 earned runs, a 2.43 ERA in May… he’s shown enough flashes of ability. Not saying I trust him, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he put things together. To me, last year looks like he was awful the first few starts, settled down, and then gradually fell apart (due to developing tendinitis?)
I know he was good in some starts
just way too inconsistent. He is young, but patience isn’t my strongest virtue
Miller can't pitch with a lead
Just like Scott Olsen couldn’t. He relaxes too much and can’t hit the strike zone.
Miller and Penn in the same game?
…awesome…

I think it's more like
splitting 2s and then hoping to god you can get to five cards without busting on either
Marlins Stadium: When It's Raining, The Roof Will Happen!
did it seem like Maybin got a really late break on the ball,
or didn’t go all out for it?
Dan was pretty far into center…I would’ve thought Maybin would call him off and go for it, but what do I know?
you'd think he'd have run right through it
rather than pull up
Marlins Stadium: When It's Raining, The Roof Will Happen!
That's the complicated thing...
…a lot of our inconsistent pitchers are young, and could theoretically BECOME consistent pitchers. Penn’s 24. He hasn’t pitched in the majors since he was 21. He wasn’t exactly impressive vs. the Mets, but that’s one game. I’ll give him a shot, to be honest. I’d rather see him out there than Renyel Pinto, who has had kind of a lot of shots…
If Gload walks...
…do we get to bring up Uggla next?
7 walks for the Fish tonight
I know some are intentional, but that is good to see though!
Calero for the 7th?
Well, okay, we do have the lead
…back to the bullpen.
Why are the times on the Marlins broadcast an hour early?
It keeps bothering me. Miami is in the Eastern time zone and they practice Daylight Savings Time, correct? Why does the graphic show tomorrow’s game at 11:30?
Gotta win this game.
4 runs off Lowe, late lead in a game where arguably our three most suspect pitchers go back-to-back-to-back….this one would be nice
The 2009 Florida Marlins
A left-fielder’s worst nightmare.

And my AAB
Our scoring in innings 7-9 has > our scoring in innings 1-6. I thought that one was doomed for sure… :)
I need to close this window while watching the game...
It’s always a minute faster than the MLB.TV feed.
CBS4 Lead in about last Super Saturday
Some controversy over the choice of Flo-Rida, DJ Laz, and Pit Bull…
Also, we’re on the top headlines on ESPN.com again!
going with the flo
http://cbs4.com/entertainment/Marlins.Concert.Criticized.2.986124.html
seems like much ado about nothing. Berliner is a idiot who seems desperate for ratings. He’ll say anything it seems. Flo Rida is more about strippers and nightlife than guns and drugs. And pit bull… well I have no idea what he’s singing about.
It was a surprisingly clean show from what I could tell. I’ve certainly seen worse at public events.
I thought it was perfectly fine
And I was really impressed with it all. I had a friend get me on the field for the concert and I was surprised at how many adults had little kids dancing around with them so Berliner clearly wasn’t there. DJ Laz carried himself very well in that interview and definitely represented the Marlins and the performers well.
I took a pre-game nap around six
woke up at nine to see we were ahead by a run… and everyone was #42. I was very confused.
Observations
Whoever had the fish only score in the odd innings, amazing pick. Fish had 11 Ks. Jesus they need to chill on that. Uggla looks awesome with the shorter swing.
That would be me
I was surprised I hit that too.
And agree with the K’s. I’d like to know how many 3-2 pitches we’ve stuck out on this year. But I don’t think I’d like the answer.
I'm doin the Fish again. (Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
