Postgame: NateRob to Fredi: You Should Not Have Skipped Me, Marlins Lose Game 2 in St. Pete 6-5

[Party]

• What the hell is up with Ricky and the XBHs?
• Team CC!
• Stanton layed off a few of those breaking balls away he'd been taking hacks at in previous games
• NateRob saved the bullpen

[FishFF]

Man Nate was awesome. So much tna at the game tonight. (country night).

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Kind of glad I missed this game. I got home just in time to see the 9th.

I saw that Ricky gave up 3 homers. What is up with him lately? He has been way too much like 2009 pre-demotion Ricky since Chicago/

[Swifty]

Soooooooooo much t&a.

Not sure I'm going tomorrow, don't really want to do I70 in the dark.
--------------------
Also, Ricky looks like garbage, plain and simple.

He and Cam should be aggressively shopped, and probably together, for a pitching upgrade.

[Namaste]

I didn't see the majority of the game (World Cup blackout) but aren't the Rays kinda good this year?

Are we really talking shopping Nolasco

[Miamarlin21]

I like how one start it's "sign him to an extension" and the next it's "trade him" I don't think Cam or Ricky will be traded this year, I can almost guarantee it.

there were a lot of really close plays that hurt to see, but I don't feel as bad as last game because Nate pitched great. I'm pretty ashamed though because we had some sloppy defense last night and today the Rays showed excellent defense.

[Swifty]

So just to be clear, this is Ricky's only bad start this year?

/Not sure if you're being serious but I'll bite.

That would be a no. The 8 run debacle in Chicago vrs. the White Sox comes to mind.

[Fish and Chips]

So does NateRob pitching in this game, jeopardize his next start on tuesday?

[Ramp]

hopefully

So just to be clear, this is Ricky's only bad start this year?

No but what does that have to do with us aggressively shopping him?

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

What they're saying is that Ricky will pitch Thursday on short rest so he doesn't have to face the Rays again. Nate would then pitch either Friday or Saturday (depending on if they give Volstad an extra day of rest or not). So it sets up like this:

Tuesday vrs. Rangers: JJ
Wednesday vrs. Rangers: Anibal
Thursday vrs. Rangers: Ricky
Friday vrs. Rays: NateRob (or Volstad)
Saturday vrs. Rays: Volstad (or NateRob)
Sunday vrs. Rays: JJ

Would JJ then pitch Friday or Saturday against the Padres?

Going to a game that weekend and wanna see JJ

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

It's official. NateRob will start Friday vrs. the Rays with Volstad on Saturday. Frisaro has an article about it on the website.

Versus the Padres, Volstad will pitch Friday with JJ going on Saturday and Anibal on Sunday.
