9-2 win!

congrats Fredi on your first win

I love Messenger, Owens, Lindstrom this year in the pen this year
hopefully Tank comes back strong, add in Kensing (rumored to be coming back around the All Star Break, chances are it'll be 2008) we have some power arms in the 'pen for a long time to come.

Damn, I missed the game. :-?

-- But we won. :lol:

(going to try to that 161 more times) lol

Anyhow, how did our De Aza look in CF?

And are they going to show a replay of the game, tonight or tommorow?

De Aza looked good. Didn't really notice him in CF....which I guess is good because he didn't make any mistakes. Last Fri I went to the Mets-Marlins spring training game and he made a nice catch.

Batting...he hit good. He looked to bunt a few times but also hit a ball over the LFer so he's a threat to hit the ball anywhere. Had good speed...making a triple look easy. And easily scored from 3rd on a sacrifice flyball to LF. He looks like he can be a big impact player. Hopefully he keeps it up.

Signs of BIG things to come

I love my marlins, I'm a baseball fan by heart but I would absolutely HATE if we let Cabz go over monetary issues. I'll think of hanging up my allegiance.

Patterson was terrible out there and the rest of our team paid the price. With the exception of the third inning he looked like he should be in a AA camp not the majors! Well tommorow you face the guy who looked like our best pitcher in Spring Training (Shawn Hill) so we'll see how you do against him. Also hopefully Nook Logan will be available so I don't have to see Snelling suck up the place again.

Olsen goes for the fish tonight. We have a very good chance of starting the season 2-0.

btw, what's Uggla's contract like? Was it a 1 year tender they offered him last off-season, or did they sign him to a long term-deal? (though I have a gut feeling, it's a 1 year deal)

Post #27 » by **Lane1974** » Tue Apr 3, 2007 5:22 pm

baseball contracts don't work like that, we probably have him under control probably for 5 more years, eligible for arbitration in 2

It'll be important for their bats to sustain their production. Usually after big games teams come back to earth. Hopefully it's a soft enough landing where we are still capable of scoring enough runs to win.

I am excited to see Olsen with another year under his belt

Post #30 » by **Lane1974** » Tue Apr 3, 2007 11:14 pm

ooh bases loaded top of the 1st, no one out, Jacobs up

giggity

make it happen, Riley

Post #31 » by **Lane1974** » Tue Apr 3, 2007 11:15 pm

ooh.. Dmitri Young boots a potential double play (at least 1 sure out), 2 runs in

this inning a hit batter and two errors for the Nats

Post #32 » by **Lane1974** » Tue Apr 3, 2007 11:17 pm

Willingham with a base knock, hit too hard for Miggy to score from 2nd
bases loaded still no one out

Post #33 » by **Lane1974** » Tue Apr 3, 2007 11:22 pm

Olivo with a single up the middle, drives in two - 4-0

nice!

Post #34 » by **Flash3** » Tue Apr 3, 2007 11:22 pm

Great start. 4-0 lead, and we're taking advantage of their mistakes.

Post #35 » by **Flash3** » Tue Apr 3, 2007 11:24 pm

bang-bang play @ 1st. De Aza looked safe.

Post #36 » by **Lane1974** » Tue Apr 3, 2007 11:36 pm

Scott O leads off the 2nd with a stand up double

Post #37 » by **Flash3** » Wed Apr 4, 2007 12:00 am

This Friday's series against the Phillies is going to be an early season test for this squad. If they can win the series, they'll add even more confidence.

But! 1 game at a time.....

Post #38 » by **Flash3** » Wed Apr 4, 2007 12:52 am

Olsen in a bit of trouble here.

2 on, none out, Zimmerman up.

BigBallingMIA · Post #39 » by **BigBallingMIA** » Wed Apr 4, 2007 1:04 am

This game is as good as a W.

Pinto just needs to get us through this inning.

Post #40 » by **Flash3** » Wed Apr 4, 2007 2:12 am

Miguel on pace to hit 81 HRs and have 405 RBIS.
