The NL East Leading Marlins will be playing their final game against the Pirates this season.
That's right, after tonight, the Marlins won't play the Pirates again during the 2008 regular season. Which led Fredi to say:
"It's weird,'' Gonzalez said. "I like more of a balanced schedule. You'd come here twice. Instead, you play 18 times against your division.''
Now onto the game.
Nolasco will keep trying to build stamina and arm strength. In his first two he has ran out of gas after four innings, and then the home runs started flying. Of course it isn't ideal that his extended rehab is taking place during the season as a starter, but that is just the way it is.
Mahlom deepest outing this season was 5.1 IP. The Marlins faced him on April 5th and tagged him for 5 runs in 5 innings. But before anyone starts getting too giddy he did strikeout 9 Marlins in that outing. Mahlom is a lefty so expect to see Cody in center.
Ichthyomancy is up and running and ready for another day. As always, Good Luck!
