Washington Nationals at Florida Marlins, Jul 1, 2009 12:10 PM EDT
Breakout the brooms Florida, 'cause the Marlins are going for the sweep.
First off - Happy Canada Day! Chris Leroux was a day early in pitching his best game of the season. In case you didn't know, Chris is a native of our neighbor to the North.
Josh Johnson is Josh Johnson, need I say more?
Jordan Zimmerman will be making his first start against the Marlins. He is a fast ball (93.3 mph), curve, slider, type of pitcher who has a show me change. He tends to pitch better at night and at home.
Today is Camp Day! YAAAY! Camp Days are special because the Marlins get a very large and very vocal crowd for a day game and they are all rooting for the Marlins. Typically the Marlins don't do all that well on Camp Day. Oh sure, the team is used to playing before a large crowd but playing in front of one that is cheering for them -- it kinda confuses them. But maybe they are use to it by now.
So that idea you had about picking 600 for an attendance pick, which is about usual for a mid-week day game, forget about it. The crowd will be above 15,000 guaranteed.
Icthyomancy be loving Camp Day!
Best of Luck to You!

oh great...
Oh sure, the team is used to playing before a large crowd but playing in front of one that is cheering for them — it kinda confuses them.
You’ve just given jrhana another fanpost idea.

Amazing catch, JJ!
But please don’t get hurt!
by LadyFish on Jul 1, 2009 12:16 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
hmm.
according to the box score, JJ has 3 walks through 2 innings and has already thrown 54 pitches. that’s a concern.
i wonder what the over/under is on how many player’s in today’s game are hung over?
by Fishcrazy on Jul 1, 2009 12:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Hopefully Badenhop isn't
JJ 3.1 IP. Wow

I understand that he wasn't pitching well
But come on, our bullpen isn’t that deep. Let him get at least another couple outs.
by Bumppo on Jul 1, 2009 1:27 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Off day tomorrow
So Fredi can use as many guys as he needs. It was a tough call, but the Hopper can go at least 3
by Fishfins on Jul 1, 2009 1:34 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Makes you wonder
if he didn’t feel good, something’s wrong, or what. The radio said that when he has had a bad game, it has often been a day game.

What was the injury delay
All I have is gameday right now..
by jrsyeagle on Jul 1, 2009 1:49 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Hopper hit a foul bunt off the catcher's hand
but he stayed in
by Fishfins on Jul 1, 2009 1:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
cry babies
Cogs is really working this count… at least 10 pitches..
by jrsyeagle on Jul 1, 2009 1:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
They need to run Zimmermann's pitch count up and get him out
I’m not all that comfortable with a 2- lead
by Fishfins on Jul 1, 2009 1:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Up to 92 now
this has got to be his last inning
though they might want to avoid their bullpen just as much as we do, if not more
by jrsyeagle on Jul 1, 2009 2:09 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
So is Badenhop the top performer from the Maybin so far?
Your choices:
a. Yes
b. No, Miller is.

Rainy season in south Florida
I remember it well from my summers down there.
Hopefully it won’t be long
by Fishfins on Jul 1, 2009 2:17 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
what happened? they brought pinto back after an 18-minute delay?
by Fishcrazy on Jul 1, 2009 2:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Not as big of a deal when it's that short of a delay
Like sitting down for half an inning, or warming up, sitting down, and going again…
by jrsyeagle on Jul 1, 2009 4:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I was simply objecting to the walk
which put 2 men on with no outs.

CO-DY, CO-DY, CO-DY!!!!
Burnett, Welcome to NatsTown
by Fishfins on Jul 1, 2009 2:56 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
7 walks by Florida today
They’re lucky to be tied a 3 right now
by Fishfins on Jul 1, 2009 3:09 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
didn't Burnett walk 10 in his no-hitter?
obviously, walks are a sign of excellence for the Marlins. Keep up the great work!
by Fishcrazy on Jul 1, 2009 3:12 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Haha,
I think it was 9.
Harris was out at 2nd. He’d better not score now
by Fishfins on Jul 1, 2009 3:14 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah, we have a hard enough time throwing out runners
without the umpires missing the calls
by LadyFish on Jul 1, 2009 3:16 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Mike MacDougal?
I didn’t know he was still around. He is (or was) the skinniest guyI have seen throw 96+
by Fishfins on Jul 1, 2009 3:26 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Helms does it again!
He should be the All-Star pinch-hitter.

I'll be sad to see the Nationals go
1-2-3 Nunez, 1-2-3

Nationals bullpen:
Worst ever, or wost or all-time?
by Fishcrazy on Jul 1, 2009 3:50 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
the only bad thing about a day game is that it gives me nothing to watch after work!
by Fishcrazy on Jul 1, 2009 4:40 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
