Marlins @ Rays, 1:05 Pm

[Swifty]

mba's funny.

I know Volstad can't make a mistake, but a pitcher that sucked hard in 2009 shouldn't come in and try to reinvent the wheel, he should try to get himself figured the fuck out.
--------------------
Rays throwing it all over the place. Bases loaded again. I think we've gotten 7 outs this inning.

I wasn't really defending Volstad, though. You said West's "results" are better, that's all I was replying to.

I know you hate Volstad, but you can't ignore that West has been really bad. Yes, he's been worse than Volstad.

Yes, Sean West showed potential last year when he was clearly rushed, and that's great. Volstad has shown more potential than West at the major league level and was better in the minors.

[Chewford]

Another wind assisted homer to right.

Turnbow and C Martinez expected to throw today.

Good, Turbow needs to get some time, I'm hearing a lot from scouts about his release. He needs to get the ball out a lot quicker.

I don't hate Volstad. I hate MBA's double standard with West and Volstad.

[Bobbob1313]

Turnbow had the gross toe thing, right?

[FishFF]

Spring training or not 7 walks in 1.2 innings will be judged, especially days after Fredi comes out with his displeasure of all the BB's. Volstad is not even in the same boat as West, and to pluck the "1ER" out of West line today is laughable.

[Swifty]

Yeah. It popped or something, so he can throw again.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Okay, Swift, you want to play that game.

It's still too early to determine the front-runners, although Sanchez and Volstad are viewed as favorites

Frisaro

[Swifty]

Well I got served.

[Bobbob1313]

You both are silly.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

I didn't say that Volstad needed to add the slider. It wasn't my idea. The Marlins wanted him to do. While he's working on it, you can't expect him to be perfect.

Miller gave up back to back walks to start this inning.

[MiamiHomer]

I haven't been on here much recently so I don't know what crawled up most of your asses recently but its fucking stupid. Jeez.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

I'm the new Lou in the Volstad vrs. West argument, apparently.

RBI double for some Rays guy. 7-4 Marlins.
--------------------
Miller time is over. Enter Derrick Turnbow.

[Bobbob1313]

Miller looking ok?

[Swifty]

Miller walked 4, since that seems to be the recurring theme of the day.
