2/28 Marlins/Os

[BillySmith]

I raced downstairs to interview Jeremy Guthrie and missed part of Brian Matusz's appearance today, but he turned in 1 2/3 scoreless innings before reaching his pitch limit and being replaced by Scott Chiasson.

Roch confirming the pitch count for Matusz. No injury. No matchup.

What the...? You interviewed Guthrie?

Reimold strikes out looking. Tankersley strikes out the side.

Oh, I see...you were quoting Roch. Please provide a link when you do that.

I work in mysterious ways.

It was kinda neat for a minute. But ok.

Hoey is coming on. It doesn't look like they are stretching out Bass like a starter. The O's appear to be looking at him as a reliever which is bad for him considering how many right handed relievers are on this team.

[PaulFolk]

Logan Morrison, the Marlins' first baseman of the future, leads off with a sizzling liner that Donnie Murphy catches at second base.

Jim Hoey is pitching for the Birds.

Someone named Davis has doubled for the Marlins with one out.

Hennessey, Simon, Bass and Baez not exactly stepping up.

Scott Cousins bounces out to first as Brad Davis advances to third. Chris Coghlan is now batting (thank you, list of Marlins non-roster invitees!).

Coghlan is going to be a stud for them, Uggla's replacment at 2B...

[PaulFolk]

Wild pitch to the backstop by Hoey plates Davis from third. It's a 4-2 game.

[PaulFolk]

Hoey walks Coghlan to bring the possible tying run to the plate with two outs. C'mon Hoey, you don't want a blown save on your spring training stat line! There's no recovering from that!

[BillySmith]

And when he does get it over, it supposedly is a very straight fastball (Julio's was perfectly straight, and extremely hittable).

[PaulFolk]

That's weird-- Coghlan tries to steal second, and gets thrown out by Quiroz to end the game.

So the O's finish off a 4-2 win over the Marlins, improving to 2-2 in Grapefruit League play.
