________________________________________________

Although Simontacchi gave up three home runs in his last start against the Brewers, manager Manny Acta went so far as to say that Simontacchi pitched one of his best games of the season. Simontacchi's fastball was clocked at 93 mph, a season high. His ERA doesn't tell the whole story of his season. With the exception of three starts in which he gave up a combined 21 runs, Simontacchi has pitched well during his comeback year.

A stiff upper back, or back spasms, led to Olsen turning in the shortest start of his career his final time out before the break. The lefty worked one inning at Los Angeles before exiting with his back ailment, yielding three runs on five hits. His velocity was way down -- mid 80s -- which raised concerns. Olsen had worked at least six innings in his four previous starts before his setback at Dodger Stadium. The lefty has thrown 103 1/3 innings, second most on the Marlins.

Now that's good contact for a pitcher.

Pay attention, Jason!

That was the weirdest dp.  How could Ensberg be so sure that that ball would drop in that he was so completely out of the play?

Edit:  It was a hit and run but he still took a lot of liberty by being so far away from first.

Things like that come back to bite us so frequently that you have to almost expect it to blow up in our faces!

Yeah ... nice surprise ... that we didn't get stung on that - good job by the Nats to respond with a run in the bottom of the inning ...

Dmitri would look good on the Angels where he doesn't have to field. All the other infielders know they need to hit him in the glove for him to catch it so therefore they throw it too hard. He just makes bad things happen in the field. As good as he is with the bat is as bad as he is at first.

While, I agree of course - the last error was on Felipe, he threw it over his head - but the first dropped hop - was on Dmitri - though in his defense, he is playing better (not great mind you) but better over at first lately ...
