Official 2007 Florida Marlins Thread

Scott Olsen did great today. He struggled just now and is being sat down, but that guy plays with a huge chip on his shoulder and a ton of fire.

Nice to see Dontrelle Willis reaching to Scott Olsen and calming him down. Scott was really mad about his last inning.
 
9-3 :woot:

I really like De Aza. He gets a nice jump on the ball and really knows how to play the game. Hopefully he can keep getting better for us.

Anibal pitches tomorrow and we really should sweep Washington with the edge we have in pitching. Philli will be our first real test as a team IMO.
 
Great start to the season! Though, I'm only catously optimistic because it's Washington.

Cabrera is a beast. Pitching is good. De Aza is putting the ball in play.

Can't wait for Philly.
 
Marlins 9, Nationals 3



WASHINGTON (AP) -- Scott Olsen was as good at the plate as he was on the mound.


Olsen had a double, a single and an RBI, all while taking a two-hit shutout into the sixth inning Tuesday night and helping the Florida Marlins beat the Washington Nationals 9-3 to improve to 2-0 for only the second time in their 15 seasons.


At least the Nationals can take solace from this: No one got hurt.

Before the game, Washington put two starters on the 15-day disabled list because they were injured during Monday's 9-2 loss to Florida -- center fielder Nook Logan (left foot) and shortstop Cristian Guzman (left hamstring).


So Washington called up Kory Casto, who never had played above Double-A, and started him in the outfield in his first major league game. Josh Wilson started at shortstop -- his first big league action since appearing in 11 games with Florida in 2005 -- and made one of the Nationals' two errors.


For five scoreless innings, Olsen (1-0) looked much better than he did during spring training, when he was 1-4 with a 4.63 ERA, or the last time games that counted, when he went 0-3 with a 4.03 ERA in his final five starts of 2006.


He wound up lasting 5 1-3 innings Tuesday, charged with two runs, two hits and five walks.

Yeah Miguel is big as ****. I said it on Opening Day....he looks like a Spanish Bonds out there...
 
either Washington is that bad or we are that good. maybe a combination of both

The Nats are rebuilding man. It'll be a few years before they're a good team. Nats are starting from the ground up.

Florida is a good young team. I'd expect you guys to be around all year

or the rain, I like to BLAME IT ON THE RAIN, yeah yeah.

seriously, excellent team. Pitching, hitting, & defense is STOUT.
The relief pitching is a bit scary, but that's the breaks.

Soooooo pissed my boss didn't renew his awesome seats.
 
I just assumed that the owners were being cheap and not paying up to keep good players. I guess they do need fans to show up in order to make that kind of money but here's the thing. when the team is doing well, fans show up. the owners keep pissing off the fans by getting rid of all of the good players and then the team has a couple of bad years so nobody shows up.

if I were the owner, I'd get a new stadium. than wait a year or two when the team is good and than keep that team together. the fans show up in large numbers when the team is good. just look at the Dolphins this past year, everybody showed up early when there was potential for a good year. but then when the team went down hill, nobody showed up

Win all the games you want, just get your own stadium so the Phins don't have to worry about playing on dirt all year :wink:
