Open Thread and Ichthyomancy: Dodgers at Marlins
(4/11)

post from FishStripes on 11 April 2010 01:06:31 PM. © FishStripes

Next Game

Los Angeles Dodgers
@ Florida Marlins

Sunday, Apr 11, 2010, 1:10 PM EDT
Sun Life Stadium

Charlie Haeger vs Anibal Sanchez

Partly cloudy. Winds blowing in from right field at 10-15 m.p.h. Game time temperature around 80.

Complete Coverage >

Anibal Sanchez

#19 / Pitcher / Florida Marlins

Height: 6-0

Weight: 205

Bats: R

Throws: R

Born: Feb 27, 1984

Charlie Haeger

#49 / Pitcher / Los Angeles Dodgers

Height: 6-1

Weight: 210

Bats: R

Throws: R

Born: Sep 19, 1983

The Marlins are going for their second series win in-a-row and the first at home for this season.

Anibal is making his first start of the season and I really believe, if he is physically able, can do some good this season. But it remains to be seen if the body is willing.

Ever hear of Charlie Haeger? Neither have I. The bad news is he is knuckelballer who throws it about 90% of the time. Also it means everything else he throws is going to be junk. And the Marlins normally don't hit junkers well. The Fish are a hard thrower hitting team.

It is the normal Sunday day game, like we would ever be on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. So plan your day accordingly.

Ichthyomancy still hates all day games, but will be ready.

Best of Luck to You!

Starters: Nick Blackburn (1-0, 4.05 ERA, 1.80 WHIP) vs. Mark Buehrle (1-0, 0.00, 0.57)

Normally I would say the pressure is off today because the Twins have already won the series and have clinched a winning road trip. However, I hate, I HATE, I HATE!!! losing to Buehrle. [...]
