Season Series: Marlins leads, 9-2

Scouting Report:
Marlins: Volstad was perfect through four innings in his last start before surrendering a hit to Aramis Ramirez in the top of the fifth. The right-hander flustered Cubs hitters until the seventh inning, when Jake Fox clubbed a game-tying two-out, two-run homer. Volstad finished his start allowing two runs on six hits over 6 2/3 innings while striking out five. The 23-year-old has allowed a home runs in seven of his last 10 starts and 10 home runs over that span.

Nationals: Stammen started for Washington on Saturday, and he had nothing in the tank. He lasted three-plus innings and gave up six runs on eight hits. While Stammen was on the mound, outfielder Lastings Milledge burned his former team in the third inning by hitting a two-run double. Stammen didn't record an out in the fourth inning.

We must absolutely get swept by the Nats?

I've been up since 5 pm yesterday but I'm just going to stay up for the game.

[MiamiHomer]

Change "must absolutely" to "might actually" :lol almost though.

[mbitcronod12]

Okay, that's too much for my very tired brain. All I can decipher is "We probably not gon win". I'm lost after that.

[marlins_virus.exe]

We're probably not gon win and our season will be over

[mbitcronod12]

Oh. Thanks. At least I got part of it.

Come on guys, where are the other 5 people that gave us a 10 in the confidence pole.

WGW

Say it with me.

[MiamiHomer]

It loses it's zing when you lose 2 in a row to the Nationals.

[mbitcronod12]

Not to the true believers.

[Bobbob1313]

Just so I can be sure:

if we had lost one of the early season natinals games (the one hermida hit the homer for) and split the first two of this series, would people be freaking out?

[mbitcronod12]

I checked the game preview earlier and saw in the weather section that it was raining. I checked the hour by hour forecast (http://www.weather.com/outlook/events/sports/hourbyhour/graph/USDC0001?from=tenDay_topnav_sports) and it's suppose to rain there until about 7 pm. It's entirely posible that this game could get postponed, especially considering how both teams are in the same division and the Marlins will be coming back to Washington in September.

That wouldn't actually be a bad thing. Then we wouldn't need the 5th starter this weekend. We could just run out Volstad, Ricky and JJ in the series against the Phillies that we need badly. Pray for rain!

[Fish and Chips]

1. Chris Coghlan, lf
2. Nick Johnson, 1b
3. Hanley Ramirez, ss
4. Jorge Cantu, 3b
5. Dan Uggla, 2b
6. John Baker, c
7. Cody Ross, cf
8. Jeremy Hermida, rf
9. Chris Volstad, p.

[mbitcronod12]

Bake not hitting 8th!

Looking at the futurecast radar from the weather channel, the rain is supposed to start full force about 45 minutes into the game and not stop for hours. The worst thing that could happen is for the game to start and get called early.

[Marlinsfan4lyfe]

Hermida to the 8th spot. I guess there's no where else left in the line up to put him.

[Party]

Oh, Logan Kensing. :(

[FishFF]

game on time?

[Fish and Chips]

CC!

[dgriot]

This is the kind of Natinal play I like.

Oh hey, a successful sacrifice

[Fish and Chips]

nice inning

[Longview]

Just turned it on, nice to see us up 2-0

[Fish and Chips]

anyone know why CC is wearing that long sleve on his one arm?

[FishFanInPA]

Ronnie fucking Belliard.

[Longview]

Probably just for fashion.
--------------------
I dont think it serves any practical purpose

[Bobbob1313]

Since we have an early lead, this game will be rained out.

[MiamiHomer]

The trailer has the cloverfield affect on me...it doesn't give away anything so I have to see it.

[Fish and Chips]

what is the weather status? lets get this game official asap

[Party]

Love the movement on his change today

[dgriot]

Screech was better before the redesign.

For those who like awkward tension, check the new Screech's introduction at ESPN Zone. You can just feel the uneasiness when he continues to dance while a new song starts.

[Party]

Filthy...

[Bobbob1313]

I think it looks like it'll be interesting. I generally like scifi with thinly veiled social commentary, and the premise is interesting.

[FishFanInPA]

Cloudy with a 20% chance of rain till like 6.

[FishFF]

I wish they would just replay the Hooters swimsuit commercial over Jeff Katz Dolphin tile and the cock sucker who thinks catching a foul ball at the game is the most exciting thing in the world.

[MiamiHomer]

I'm trying to comprehend that Hermida made that play.

[TealMonster08]

Hermida is so for me....the way he glides over to the ball, and does that sweet slide, and snatches the ball right as it hits the ground....its athleticism in its purest form...

[Party]

Sexy

[FishFF]

Hermida is so for me....the way he glides over to the ball, and does that sweet slide, and snatches the ball right as it hits the ground....its athleticism in its purest form...

I love how he rounds first too

[MiamiHomer]

:fip

[MiamiHomer]

gaww

[Flum]

Cody :banghead

But on the bright side... how about that chris coghlan?

[Fish and Chips]

herms really taking to the 8th spot. 2 hard hit balls up the middle

[Party]

herms really taking to the 8th spot. 2 hard hit balls up the middle

If they bat him 9th he'll hit homers

[all black marlins hat]

Why not see some pitches?
Uggla looked at more than one pitch and got a hit.
The others, screw it.
Lets just get out of this inning to go play some D!

[MiamiHomer]

Yeah Coghlan is cool but I hope he get's moved to 2nd when Uggla is gone.

[TealMonster08]

Hermida in the 8th spot is actually a pretty good move, it forces him to be aggressive at times, but he can still work the pitcher late in the game...

[Flum]

Yeah Coghlan is cool but I hope he get's moved to 2nd when Uggla is gone.
He will be.

[MiamiHomer]

He will be.

With Boner here? Who knows.
--------------------
Cantu!!

Good job hustling up that line tubby.

[Flum]

That was pretty

You're pretty

[Flum]

With Boner here? Who knows.
--------------------
Cantu!!
Considering that he's riding the pine now while Coghlan is here, my guess is the Boner-as-a-starter experiment is coming to an end.
--------------------
You're pretty
It's my pomade.

[Longview]

NJ has alot of saliva.

[Flum]

I would like us to offer Nick Johnson a contract for next year and have a lineup of:

Maybin CF
Coghlan 2B
Hanley SS
Johnson 1B
Ross RF
Morrison LF
Cantu 3B
Baker/Platoon mate C

That makes too much sense.

[Ramp]

hitting Baker that late makes 0 sense

0.
--------------------
also, I'd rather have Johnson hitting ahead of Hanley

[Flum]

We should be able to cover Johnson's and Cody's salaries by trading Hermida and Uggla.
--------------------

--------------------

Who would you take out of the top two? Coghlan? He doesn't slug enough at this point to warrant being lower in the lineup. Maybin? I realize that he hasn't proven anything at this level, but I think he needs a shot to produce at the top of the lineup next year.

[Longview]

Ugh Cogs...

[Beef]

ehe

[nny]

I really would like to have a real left fielder

[Flum]

And that's exactly why Coghlan can't be in left.

[FishFF]

We are the Natinals

[Party]

Ugh Coghlan

Ugh Volstad

[nny]

We should be able to cover Johnson's and Cody's salaries by trading Hermida and Uggla..

We won't if we want to keep a 40m salary

Have to remember have several guys hitting arbitration for the first, plus then those getting second year arbitration.

Just depends how high the FO will actually go.

[geemoney]

I really hope this isn't one of those games where we score runs early in the game and do nothing offensively the rest of the game. Clearly, the Nationals are going to go down swinging, if at all.

[nny]

Also NJ wants a two year contract but shouldn't get more than atleast a 1 year plus option contract. From the way people are talking I wouldn't be surprised if the LF/1B market takes another dive this offseason. So at that point we'd be in competition with the other 29 team in baseball with offering him some 1year/few mil contract. Which doesn't make it impossible for us, just that we then have competition if we don't want to overpay
--------------------
And I really don't want Logan in LF :D

[¿NICK?]

I would like us to offer Nick Johnson a contract for next year and have a lineup of:

Maybin CF
Coghlan 2B
Hanley SS
Johnson 1B
Ross RF
Morrison LF
Cantu 3B
Baker/Platoon mate C

I'd rather have Uggla than Johnson next year considering LoMo is the same type of player as Johnson.

Both guys are about .800 OPS guys, Uggla will give you about 60 points higher slugging, and Johnson will give you about 60 points higher OBP, and considering I don't expect Maybin and Morrison to combine for as many HRs as Uggla usually puts up in a year I think he's the better fit.

Plus, Johnson has injury issues, and Uggla has really never gotten injured as a major leaguer.

[FishFanInPA]

hehe, Aflac trivia question on Nats Broadcast

Which Fish pitcher won the inaugural season opener?

[Fish and Chips]

Hanley is on fire

[nny]

and considering I don't expect Maybin and Morrison to combine for as many HRs as Uggla usually puts up in a year I think he's the better fit.

Uggla is basically +/- 30 HRs

You don't think Maybin and Morrison can combined for 30 hrs?

I mean, if Morrison hits 20, that's just 10 for Maybin.

[¿NICK?]

I think they'll be around that. I certainly wouldn't expect more than that.

[Flum]

Also NJ wants a two year contract but shouldn't get more than atleast a 1 year plus option contract. From the way people are talking I wouldn't be surprised if the LF/1B market takes another dive this offseason.

--------------------
And I really don't want Logan in LF :D
So you want the Marlins to go after a LFer in the free agent market? Or keep Hermida?

(I mean I'd prefer to keep Morrison out of LF too, but his bat at this point is too valuable even if he can only stand on the grass with a glove on his head.)

[nny]

So you want the Marlins to go after a LFer in the free agent market? Or keep Hermida?

I wants Cousins/Maybin/Carroll

I want defense.

I'm tired of Beinfest being a little bitch crying about defense then doing stupid shit like sticking Coghlan in LF.
--------------------
Well if money permits Cody/Maybin/Carroll

but Carroll needs to fucking start

[Fish and Chips]

BAKE!!!!

[¿NICK?]

I hope baker doesn't press for power again like he did in June

You could tell statistically he was doing shit different

We're also probably the worst defensively though

Can't say how much is on pitchers and how much is on the catchers but we are literally the worst at stopping the run game.

Oh yea, no doubt...we are pretty horrible. But i think at least a part of it to be blamed on our love of tall pitchers who have slow deliveries....

The Fucking Nats Man, they just wont go away...

[marlins_virus.exe]

volstad gave up a home run? newsflash!

[Party]

Right down the freakin cock

[nny]

Ideally we would sign Ross longterm.

*pipedream*

If we can get him cheap (and he is rather underrated) then that'd be cool, and he is a fan favorite so there is that benefit. But he's also already 28. Well. A guess a 3 year contract with a team option 4th year wouldn't be horrible.

However, CF is locked (Maybin), rf is locked (stanton), and we have a glut of OFers who atleast one should emerge that could produce close to his level and only make 300k (carroll, cousins, petersen, and maybe Raynor if he decides to stop being a dick). It's just not a position of need.

[Flum]

Well Zimmerman is finally living up to expectations.

[Beef]

oh my gosh

sure am glad we didn't get a starting pitcher since we have a whole 2 reliable ones

[MiamiHomer]

i cant wait till the marlins get out of washington

Yeah, getting to Philly will be so much better.

[Omar]

I would like us to offer Nick Johnson a contract for next year and have a lineup of:

Maybin CF
Coghlan 2B
Hanley SS
Johnson 1B
Ross RF
Morrison LF
Cantu 3B
Baker/Platoon mate C

If the lineup next includes all of those players, I think it will be:

CF Maybin
1B Johnson
SS Hanley
3B Cantu
RF Ross
2B Coghlan
LF Morrison
C Baker

[Longview]

i just saw the black guy with the eye patch

[¿NICK?]

I'd like to see Carroll get a shot to start in 2010. Then come 2011 when Stanton is ready, the organization can decide between Ross and Carroll for that last outfield starting spot. If Carroll proves he's worthy of being a starter great, if not hopefully we can sign Ross to a reasonable deal. I like Cousins, Petersen, and Raynor, but none of those guys are even close to being a sure thing, but if one of those guys has a breakout season in 2010 then it's not a discussion.

What I'd like to see:

2010

1. Maybin CF
2. Morrison 1B
3. Ramirez SS
4. Uggla 2B
5. Ross LF
6. Baker C
7. Coghlan 3B
8. Carroll RF

2011

1. Maybin CF
2. Morrison 1B
3. Ramirez SS
4. Stanton RF
5. Ross/Carroll/Other LF
6. Uggla/Coghlan 2B
7. Baker C
8. Dominguez 3B

Have to think that if Ross can be signed for a solid rate for that 3(+1) term deal, he would also have solid trade value if his stats hold based on his cost. That's, of course, assuming both Maybin and Morrison are well established major leagues starters and that Stanton can hold his own at the big league level when arriving.

Between this and the Cubs series, i would say we have left around 100 men on base. That seems accurate.

That joke has run it's course.

It's no better than you knee-jerking about how we only have two relieable starters. Every pitcher is going to have their bad days. Everyone. The trick is to make those starts rare ones.

it's not knee jerk, it's true. no one could make a reasonable argument that volstad has been consistent or reliable, vandenhurk has had only a couple starts and we don't even HAVE a fifth starter

How can you say that? He's had like 3 bad starts out of 23. This one and the two back in June. Other than that, he's been pitching well.

We have less of a book on VandenHurk but he's had 1 bad start out of 4. We need a bigger sample size.

You can't just make these kinds of statements after 1 bad start. 3 or 4 in a row, maybe, but not 1.
