Marlins with a real good win tonight over Halladay and the Phillies. JJ wasn't 100% on it tonight . . . but isn't that a scary thought considering he only gave up 1 run in 7 innings against the best team in baseball.

The Phillies gave that game away. They loaded the bases against JJ with no outs early on and couldn't score. That's what happens when you have guys like Sardinhia and Orr playing instead of Carlos Ruiz and Chase Utley. The Phillies had several chances to put up enough runs for Doc to win it but they screwed it up. No biggie. Good to see the overrated Braves getting beat by the Nats.

Gave away? Give JJ a few more props than that . . . he showed some toughness. He struck out the next 2 hitters, and got a ground out to retire the side. You could say the same thing about Hanley being in a slump and no LoMo who was killing **** early on.

Marlins got timely hits, the Phillies didn't. Halladay was awesome, but not good enough tonight.

Josh Johnson gave up the home run to Ryan Howard, then proceeded to load the bases with NO OUTS and work out of it.

You load the bases with no outs and can't plate a guy or two, you just got handled. Period.

I'll take the W anyway but I still feel bad for the guy who IMO is the most underrated pitcher in baseball

I definitely think that was the case before the season started, but I don't think JJ is under the radar with his 1.63 ERA . . . didn't he start the all star game last year?

Not so much underrated than it is he just isn't getting the W's that help build up your Cy Young credentials. I think right now when people think of the top 10 pitchers in the MLB, JJ is on most of those lists, but your right, he is gonna need to some help getting some wins if he is gonna get those ultimate props.

Either way, 2 games back baby!!

I'm going to at least one game from the Marlins-Giants series in a few weeks.

Mike Stanton is a baller....dude is sick

[Kdawg954]

JJ hit the DL, but we got a gem from Javy today . . . if he plays anything like the Javy of old, this Marlins rotation is going to keep them in every game.

Leo is 17 out of 17 in save opps . . . he has come a long way . . . kudos to him.

And I sure am glad LoMo is back, and Hanley is starting to snap out of the slump. I think this Marlins team is 4real.

[Possum]

Stanton is crushing it too. Well not today but over the last 2 weeks.
