Florida Marlins at San Diego Padres, Jul 30, 2010 10:05 PM EDT
The Marlins are still on the road, and tonight finds the fighting Fish in San Diego for a three-game series. The Padres are in first place in the West and have the best record in the NL, and as goes with the territory of having the best record, they are hot right now.
Chris Volstad takes the hill for the Marlins. Volstad pitched reasonably well in his first start since returning to the big club. Normally, it is imperative for Volstad to keep everything down and induce ground balls. When he does, he has success. However, tonight he will be pitching in a fly ball-friendly park. So if he should leave a couple up, it will be the job of the outfield to run them down.
Wade LeBlanc is the pitcher of choice for the Padres. LeBlanc is a soft-tossing lefty. Oh, great, another one of those. He is a fast ball (87 mph), cutter, curve, change pitcher. The change is his most effective pitch, but the cutter ain't shabby. Like most pitchers, he does his best work at home. It is doubtful he will go much more than six innings.
Ichthyomancy is ready for another round of Midnight Baseball.
Best of Luck to You!

Well, they called up someone from AAA (Mike Moreland, I think) just two days ago to replace Kinsler
So sending him down right after calling him up might be a little rude.
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
Gets to meet all the new teammates, get acclimated to the clubhouse
Without having to worry about playing, at least for tonight.

If MLB Network would show it, I would be...
Oh well, I’m only in Georgia for two more weeks.

25 pitches gives Volstad 2 outs and 2 base runners
That’s just sad.

It gets sadder
Yes, that’s a word thank you very much

That looked like a CRAZY play.
Did the Marlins just decide to play catch amongst themselves while the Padres scored?!?
Now that was a better inning, about 1/3 of the pitches...

A manufactured run, too bad Ronny's not quite quick enough
To go 2nd to 3rd on deep flys.
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
i doubt they wouldve sent anyone on that
even boni with his speed
True, but with a faster runner, it may have been worth it to test Denorfia's arm

And against the Padres pitching staff, you get as many as you can, when you can
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
He's been one of the more consistent hitters this year
But his decrease in power has been noticeable.

volstad has certainly settled down
PC in 1st = PC in 2nd + 3rd + 4th
Between him and Furcal, I left two home runs on the bench today in fantasy
And yet, I’m not too disappointed. Jose Bautista’s meteoric rise just tends to cover other issues.

chris isnt doing that bad
better than what the bullpen is about to do :: sigh ::
Two consecutive pitches result in a run and a man on first
Very clear sign that he’s been solved, especially after this many pitches. Volstad really needs to work on throwing fewer pitches, that’s what gets him more often than not.

That'll work, good to see other teams make mental mistakes, too

Out in Colorado, the Cubs just went through the worst 8th inning ever
11 straight hits by the Rockies, 18 batters in the inning, 12 runs scored. That is…there just aren’t words…
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
The first two (hits and batters faced) set major league records

At some point, you'd expect the Rockies to just, you know, end the inning in pity
But nope, they kept swinging for the fences. It was a bit cold-hearted.
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
I guess, but if I were the Rockies, I'd expect someone to get plunked tomorrow
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
but if youre the manager
you cant really go out there and tell your players to make an intentional out.. its not like basketball or football where you can run the clock out
Just in case the game goes to extra innings, I think
I’ve always liked the strategy behind the double switch.
Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
what i meant was..
leo is coming in bottom of the 9th anyways.. he couldve just pinch hit for hensley if we made it that far down in the lineup this inning.. this way we could have another hitter on the bench if it does go to x innings!!
I'm still surprised how well Leo's taken to the closer role
He’s been one of the most pleasant surprises of the year.
Chris Coghlan is the 2009 NLRoY (that's a +1 for me!)
Josh Johnson for the 2010 NL Cy Young!
are we really just one out away
from 4 PERFECT innings by the bullpen.. 12 up 12 down.. IMPOSSIBLE!!
Part of that double switch in the 8th, still not sure why
I think it was a lineup protection, but who knows?

Josh Johnson for the 2010 NL Cy Young!
And Petersen kinda gaffes on that one...
