Since Ryno likes playing with the lineup so much maybe try Asche in the 2 spot against righties and Ruiz against lefties.

Two on with one out and Buchanan's pitch count is approach 50 in the third inning.

 

[Retroram52]

Buchanan picks off Ozuna at first and shuts down the Marlins in the third.

 

[Retroram52]

Asche gets suckered by those breaking pitches that Rollins, Mayberry, Utely, and Howard swing at.

I've been thinking once Asche really gets going, they might try moving him up too.

 

[Retroram52]

One thing our batters are doing is making this young pitcher work. Fourth inning and the pitch count is already in the 70's.

 

[Retroram52]

Wow. Rollins can still zip that ball on the long throw to first.

 

[Retroram52]

What the hell is Mayberry doing lolligagin after the ball out there in left field?

 

[Retroram52]

Sac fly has the Marlins gain another run.

 

[Retroram52]

Buchanan walks Saltalamacchia for his fourth walk tonight. I think Buchanan is getting himself in a jam after the Ump blew that strike call.

 

[Retroram52]

Buchanan gets through his jam allowing one run with 29 pitches.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice base hit by Jimmy Rollins who is having a monster night.

 

[Retroram52]

Second wild pitch that gets away from Saltalamacchia and Rollins motors to second.

 

[Retroram52]

I think moving Asche to the second spot may give our offense the consistent spark that it needs as long as Jimmy plays this way nearly every night because Rollins has been the majority of our offense tonight. Jimmy moves to third. Now Utely is up.

 

[Retroram52]

Stranded Jimmy again. Gotta move Utely out of that third spot until he either gets traded or gets himself out of this offensive shithole he is in.

 

[Retroram52]

Hollands is in and we are still hanging on to a 2-run lead.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice inning by Hollands!!

 

[Retroram52]

Finally, Howard snagged a breaking pitch that didn't drop. Nice double.

 

[jvett77]

Asche is filling the void in that 6th position. This team would be doing so much better if Brown could get back his swing.
