2-run single from Renteria. Now 4-3. Leave him in the game.

Ya, I nominated him last night for the 2007 Rudy Stein award . This guy could win it by a landslide if he keeps up this pace.

It looks like he is coming out but I am with the belief that if the hitters are on they are on... No pitcher is going to stop them if they are hitting... I think the pitching is over rated... These guys are starting to hit the ball and you should be ok... GOOD LUCK

Marlins bringing in Gregg.

Yup. Gave up 3 straight hits and didn't record an out. Amazing how he's still the set-up guy for the Fish.

Ding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Braves take a 5-4 lead in the 9th in large part due to 2 wild pitches from Gregg. Great AB by Escobar to give Atlanta the lead.

bigboydan · 07-01-07, 04:20 PM

Wow! The Fish just gave up the lead with 2 outs.

ShamsWoof10 · 07-01-07, 04:21 PM

yup... with a base hit too... it's lucky they haven't given up more.. he was lucky to get out of the last inning....

Fat-boy Wickman gives up a lead-off HR. Unreal.

Typical Wickman

When is Cox going to realize that Rafael Soriano is clearly the best reliever on the team? There's no reason he shouldn't be the closer.

ShamsWoof10 · 07-01-07, 04:29 PM

that was huge to get that first out keeping the runner at first.. if you can get out of this and go extra's you should be fine but just my opinion...

Scratch that he stole second geeeeezzzz

Wow. I give the guy a compliment, and then he comes in and loses the game.

All things considered, I think Wickman should be the closer, but, given two things, I was surprised he came in today:

1. He has struggled at Dolphins Stadium this year (before today - 1.2 IP, 6 hits, 1 BB, 4 runs, 3 ER)

2. Miguel Olivo was leading off the inning. Olivo 5-5 career against Wickman with 4 XB hits, including a HR the day before. Umm, maybe that's not a good matchup for the Braves?

Absolute star in the making. I like him better than all the other young talent in the NL East infields, which is saying a hell of a lot. His 8th and 9th inning ABs today were phenomenal. 90% of MLB players don't make contact on either of those pitches, nonetheless get two hits.

I agree. I think the kid's a future All-Star. However, I can't put him ahead of Hanley Ramirez.
