Friday: 3-4-1, -.22 units. I'm still not getting hardly any easy wins, which is most concerning. Should have won the Dodgers game, but got a bit lucky in the Tampa game.
Phillies RL (-103) 3 units
Phillies ML (-223) One unit. That doomed team is the Marlins. The owner is a meddling idiot who uses this team only to pad his pocket and boost his ego. He's such a fool though that he doesn't realize that the whole sports world is laughing at him or reviles him. In fact, his own team reviles him. Poor Jose Fernandez. This young kid, who is now looking like he is NOT ready for the majors, gets forced into the rotation in place of Nolasco, basically telling his manager he is a puppet, and taking away any respect Redmond's players might have for him. Redmond should have told Loria to go f#@& himself, thereby escaping the madhouse or staying and keeping his players respect. Fernandez is now becoming a 4 inning pitcher, with control issues, and very raw in the field, and in handling the whole circus. Not even pitching in AA is a mistake. AA is where a young pitcher sees very good hitters, and learns the game the way it's played in the majors. The Phils have scouting reports on him, and faced him earlier in the year. With all the nonsense going on around him, I don't expect this young kid to be completely focused.
The Phils hit RHP much better than lefties, and after Cliff Lee called the out the whole team after the debacle in Cleveland, I think we'll see a great effort here at home vs. Miami. Hamels has 4 straight excellent starts vs. Miami, and is looking sharp in his last starts. Ryan Howard is hot, and Miami slugger Stanton is on the DL. Going back 2-3 weeks I can't find one game where the Marlins got to a lefty starter, and have a miserable .337 slugging pct. vs. LHP.
