It's hard to make Turner Field wet. They have an incredible drainage system. When they turn it on, it sucks the water through the ground. It's really something to see.
Good game. Penny lifted after 6 with only 66 pitches, 44 for strikes. Was leading off the 7th, so he sits. Down 2-1 so they need the pinch hitter and to score some runs, but how can you pull a guy that was only throwing 11 pitches an inning through 6. I would have left him in, though if the pinch hitter homers, I guess it is a great move.
penny has had a blister on pitching finger for a few weeks now. has only been going 6+ innings. tough break leading off or he might have gone 7. had penny twice before and split, saw value in fla. come on fish !
Aces, HR in the top of the 9th! Penny off the hook for the loss. Marlins up 3-2 now. Come on Alphonseca, get in there in the bottom of the 9th and get the win and preserve the under!
