Spring Training: Marlins at Cardinals, 1:05 Pm

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Not sure if anyone is following. It's 2-0 Marlins top 1 after a two-rum double by Gaby who's batting cleanup. Infante (who singled) and Hanley (single) scored.
--------------------
Anibal just issued a 4 pitch walk to Theriot after Schumaker lined out to Dominguez.
--------------------
Pujols flyout to Wise in center.

[MiamiHomer]

Read that the Dominguez play was nice.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Holy catch by Hanley! He made an awesome leaping grab of a pretty hard hit liner by Holliday.
--------------------

Read that the Dominguez play was nice.

It was okay. The ball was hit hard but the ball was almost hit right to Dominguez. He caught it waste high in the center of his body and didn't have to dive or anything. Now the Hanley play was awesome. Even the Cards fans applauded.

Leadoff double off the wall by Bryan Petersen.
--------------------
Dominguez just hit a two run homer. Well done.

[MiamiHomer]

Alright Matt.
--------------------
Who is pitching for the Cards?

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Wise k's to end the inning. Fish lead 4-0, bottom 2.
--------------------
Berkman just homered to left. 4-1 Marlins.
--------------------
Valdes is the pitcher for the Cards.
--------------------
The Cards are hitting the ball hard off Anibal today. Laird doubled off the wall in left.
--------------------
Groundout to second ends the inning and Anibal's day. 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1BB, 1 K.

I believe Martinez is up in the pen. He won't turn around for me to see his name/number (I'm right in front of our bullpen).

Scratch that. It's Adalberto Mendez that was up in the pen and will pitch next.

Another double for Gaby.
--------------------
Walk for LoMo
--------------------
Buck hit a long fly ball to the left field corner that apparently Holliday ran down.
--------------------
RBI single up the middle by Petersen. Fish up 5-1.
--------------------
Nice catch by Holliday to rob Hayes of extra bases. Ball was headed for the gap in left center. Inning over.
--------------------
Mendez out to pitch.
--------------------
Leadoff walk on 5 pitches to Schumaker.
--------------------
Back to back flyouts to right for Theriot and Pujols.

Great stuff Mibs.

[Bobbob1313]

Tell me more about Matty D.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

He grounded out to third in his latest at bat. Pterosaur than that, nothing has been hit to him other than the one play I already covered.

Raynor in left. LoMo is done for the day. Hanley is also walking off the field. Ozzie Martinez is at short.

[Bobbob1313]

Was it a good home run?

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

It was pretty nice. Long fly out to left. If you're familiar with Roger Dean, it landed on the sidewalk between the Marlins clubhouse and the left field bleachers.
--------------------
There's some nice fielding by Dominguez. Fairly routine play but good hustle to get the ball and a good throw.
--------------------
Nice catch by Wise. It'll be interesting to see Coghlan out in center tomorrow.

Darin Downs up in the bullpen.
--------------------
Helms is batting and the scoreboard says that he's playing first. Must have missed that.

Bad throw on a picnics attempt by the Cards and Ozzie Martinez ends up at third after a single.
--------------------
Edit: that's pick off. Dang iPhone autocorrect.
--------------------
The contingency K'd.
--------------------
This is the first time I've seen Downs but so far he looks good in his warmup. Good smooth arm action, quick release and he's locating well. Let's see how he does in the game.
--------------------
Raynor just got caught stealing. Bottom 5 now. Still 5-1. Downs on to pitch.
--------------------
Boner in at second now.
--------------------
Davis catching.
--------------------
Flyout to left.
--------------------
Groundout to short but Ozzie threw the ball into the Cards dugout.
--------------------
And then Greene takes off for second and Davis almost threw the ball into center.
--------------------
RBI single to left by Descalso. 5-2 Fish.
--------------------
Nice catch by Helms on a pop foul. He almost fell into the dugout to catch the ball.
--------------------
RBI double by some Cards dude with an 80 number. 5-3 Fish.
--------------------
Pop foul ends the inning. 5-3 Fish. Garate up and throwing in the pen.
--------------------
Well, Garate was up. He is not anymore. Looks like Downs gets another inning.
--------------------
Good long AB by Petersen but he ends up grounding out. Davis k's Dominguez batting again. Garate back up in the bullpen.
--------------------
Dominguez k's swinging.
--------------------
Downs back out there.
--------------------
Dobbs playing third so Dominguez is done.
--------------------
Downs is done. Garate coming in.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Just a quick update, the backups and kids are playing. Thorston just struck out. Boner is batting now.
--------------------
I will be staying for the entire game. I like seeing the minor leaguers, especially the young kids. That's why I always come to spring training early in the year.

Boner grounded out and so did Ozzie. Still 5-3 Marlins, bottom 7.
--------------------
Garate back out to start the 7th. Cishek up in the pen. He needs an easier name to spell
--------------------
Helms walks to start the 8th.
--------------------
Raynor drops down a bunt but is out at first. Helms to second.
--------------------
Cousins RBI single. 6-3 Fish.
--------------------
Davis k's. Inning over. Cishek out to pitch.
--------------------
Error on Ozzie on a ball that was in his glove but rolled up and over the top.
--------------------
Balk on Cishek.
--------------------
Groundout to Bonifacio. Runner to third.
--------------------
K to end the inning. 6-3 Fish, top 9.
--------------------
That was a quick inning. Cishek out for the bottom of the 9th.
--------------------
Foul ball landed about 5 rows behind me.
--------------------
Boner bounced a throw halfway to first but they got the out.
--------------------
K. 2 outs.
--------------------
Walk. Mata up in the pen. 2-2 count.
--------------------
Lineout to third ends the game. Fish win 6-3.
