Tonights Game: September 19th

Turner Field | 7:35 PM ET

Daniel Barone, RHP (1-2, 5.01)
Marlins (65-86) @

Chuck James, LHP (10-10, 4.30)
Braves (78-73)

Scouting Report:

Marlins: Initially, Barone was in line to start on Thursday against the Mets. But instead, the team switched things up. The right-hander now is going in the series finale at Atlanta, while Willis will face the Mets on Thursday in South Florida. Barone will be making his five MLB start, and 14th appearance since being promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque. He has struck out 16 and walked 16 in 32 1/3 innings.

Braves: James has struggled to find any sort of consistency throughout the season and consequently given reason to once again believe he won?t survive in the Majors with just a fastball and changeup. The 25 year-old southpaw has surrendered a team-high 29 homers and at least one of those have come in each of his past eight starts. He lasted just three innings after being granted a three-run lead against the Nationals on Friday night and is 2-2 with a 6.88 ERA in his past seven starts.

Well hopefully tonight Chuck James can bring his overall record above .500. Chuck James has been a pretty solid pitcher for us this year and I would like him to finish up with a record above .500.

That is a great questiong and one I can't answer. I don't know why we haven't been playing to this extend the whole season. Mark Teixiera and Edgar Renteria stepped it up big time for us last night. They are our veteran leaders other than Chipper and Andruw and need to play solid for us next year for a chance for winning the pennant.
