Florida Marlins at San Francisco Giants, Jul 26, 2010 10:15 PM EDT
The Marlins are on their final regular season trip out to the Wild, Wild West. First up, the team will play four against the absolutely red hot, second place Giants.
Ricky Nolasco takes the hill for the Marlins. Ricky pitched very well in his last start going 8 innings, allowing 2 runs on just 4 hits. The outing would've been fantastic except for the home run ball he served up. Strangely Ricky has pitched better on the road this season than at home, albeit only slightly better. If he is on, he can shut down anybody.
Barry Zito is on tap for the Giants. You can leave out the part about him being outstanding in his last two starts; it wouldn't have mattered if he had stunk up the joint. Zito is a soft-tossing lefty and he has just owned the Marlins in the past. Zito's signature pitch is a 12 to 6 curve ball which is fun to watch, except when playing the Marlins.
This game could very easily turn into a pitching duel.
Ichthyomancy is ready for Midnight Baseball.

How's the Marlins bullpen doing these days?
I hear it’s been rather shaky.

i think he was a ny giants fan not san fran
he said it transferred from the big blue blog not big orange
try big blue blog
it took my user name from the Big Blue blog and used it for this one
so any explanation to why nolasco starts the season bad
and picks it up in the 2nd half year after year
MIKEY!
alright! we need some more runs though with the impending bullpen appearence….

So I've noticed lately
In person, even. I was at the…implosion/disaster/travesty…that was the 8th inning on Saturday. The concert sucked afterwards, too…

nope.. DH
but maybe for the rockies he’ll play infield
About to say, they have Vlad-Dad at DH
Who in the world would take that out for Cantu?
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
texas will still want him
just give us less for him in return.. not like it was going to be much to start with
I would just like one of their solid middle relievers
Darren O’Day, for example.
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
O'Day, Darren Oliver, Alexi Ogando, Chris Ray, Frank Francisco
Lots of guys they could deal. Texas is in a very good position right now.

He definitely deserves NL Rookie of the Year
If he keeps this pace up. Strasburg’s gonna get shut down after a handful of starts from now, and Heyward just isn’t matching the shear production of Posey. Even Gaby’s status is slipping…

Hanley, your bat has been an offensive black hole since coming back from the break
Please resolve this, thanks.
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
i traded him for jaime garcia/johan santana in fbb
looking like a good trade on my part now
He's been having a slightly down year
But his July’s been atrocious. .280/.337/.320 split, with only 1 HR and 3 RBIs is just not like him at all.
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
have you seen whiffle ball just take off last 2 weeks
he had all these rookies that are just on a tear right now..
tomorrow is not going to be pretty for me
Clothes in the suit case for the game tomorrow:
Thermal socks, sweat pants, black 2003 Marlins playoff Hoodie, Teal jersey (will be worn on top of hoodie), long sleeve shirt, teal hat, black hat (couldn’t decide), fuzzy mittens..
yes, I own fuzzy mittens

ugh not tank
he’s pitched 0 innings and given up 5 runs last 2 outings
Well, as long as Posey and Huff aren't up, I'm not too scared
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
not really
it looked like boners wrist may have been bent back with his glove directly over the fence
interference or not
tank shouldnt have been pitching in that situation; thats just a bad call by edwin
Tank was doing so well against lefties, but he's just fallen of the horse lately
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
Damnit
Screw that shit.

Simple answers to simply questions...
I would rather have Ricky with a broken back pitching to anyone than Tank.
so ill be the one to ask
whos better pinto or tank???
pinto walked a lot of guys but never gave up HRs
Pinto also slowed down the pace of the game to a grinding halt, which frustrates position players to no end
And yeah, Pinto didn’t give up many long-balls, but a lefty who can’t get lefties out is of little use in the pen.
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
WTF!!!
Fuck MLB umpires! Fuck our bullpen!!! FML!!!! Wow can’t believe our bullpen is doing this crap again! Enough alteady dammit!!!!!

Part of it was Edwin's fault
You don’t trot out a guy who’s been blasted twice in a row.
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
just not sure why even try to pitch tank there??
righties are batting .444 against him
Who knows? Edwin's made some very odd bullpen decisions, mostly with Tank
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
True but idk how the umpires didn't call thy fan interference....

Great… I guess were giving up if were bringing him in… Hopefully we can get some good bullpen arms for Canti

^ sorry stil getting used to typing on the new phone lol
by xquiles21x on Jul 27, 2010 12:43 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
at least with hopper or sanches
you feel like they beat our best relievers (for that situation)
He's been alright all year
Him, Hensley, and Nunez are the only consistent bullpen guys this entire year in the pen.

so is it a guarantee....
if we trade cantu then lomo will be brought up??
That's how it's looking so far
by xquiles21x on Jul 27, 2010 12:49 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Initially they will use Helms and Donnie Murphy at third to bring up another arm for the pen..
then eventually we will see LoMo. Could see him sooner if CC goes on the DL.
honestly think if we trade cantu
& get a decent reliever… we will be better if lomo is brought up to bat 8th & stanton get moved up in BO
I'd leave Paulino in the 8th slot. LoMo 7th
but I don’t know from the teams listed as trade partners if we can get a major league ready reliever from any of them.
same difference
basically my point is lomo could provide more/less same production as cantu has this year; stanton/cody could be better at 5th spot than cantu; & most mlb relievers could replace half of the guys in our pen
i remember this pitcher
half of MLB out there is former marlins!
No a beer run

power is there
5th on the team in HR’s with just 1/3rd the AB’s!!
if he had been playing 4 months.. it projects out to..
.225/21/66 so far
.225/33/106 full season
and this is with the slow start he got
and thats 100+ projected RBIs
with his hitting in the 7th hole
whew!
a little breathing room.. hopefully it stays!!
Unfortunately, here comes the heart of the Giants order

gotta love the low bar boner has set for himself
