Beltran (hitting 2nd) w/ a double in the 1st, Alou (hitting 3rd) with a RBI single. That Willie. He's a (fucking) genius.

Vanden Hurk? I'm afraid I don't know my enemy.

Never heard of this guy, but he throws hard and has gotta helluva hook.

The Fox Sports Florida guys said Vanden Hurk speaks fluent Dutch, German, English, and Spanish. They said Olivo was freaked out the first time Vanden Hurk spoke to him in Spanish. His hook is pretty serious. Baseball Cube had limited info on him. He was born in Amherst, NY in May, 1985. Here's a thing from [url=http://mvn.com/milb-marlins/2006/12/14/11-rick-vanden-hurk/]MVN[/url] (the Most Valuable Network, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean). #11 Rick Vanden Hurk - Starting Pitcher - 22 years old - Throws: Right - Bats: Right Signed at age 17 out of the Marlins’ Dutch academy, Rick Vanden Hurk has been one of the more successful European imports in the system. Pitching in just 8 games between the Gulf Coast League and Jupiter, Rick was absolutely dominant this season. He had a combined 1.80era to go with a 0.92whip and a 14.76k’s per 9 innings. The one caution area is the 5.04 walks per 9 that he was allowing, but that can be attributed to his lack of command after coming off of elbow surgery. Throwing on a steep downhill plane, Rick throws a 96-97mph fastball to go with a big 12-6 rolling curveball, which hitters have a hard time with coming off his fastball. Vanden Hurk was invited to the Hawaii Winter League this season and had a very promising short season there. His velocity started to fade as the HWB season progressed but that is not much to worry about. In 40 innings, Rick compiled a 2-2 record with a 3.60era with 17 walks and 60 strikeouts. Opposing batters hit just .162 off of him in the HWB. The 6-5 Dutchman should start the season off in Carolina and spend most of the season there before having a chance to make the big club out in 2008. Although if the big team needs bullpen help, he may be in line to make the Marlins out of Spring Training.

Baseball-Reference.com (and Gary Cohen) have him born in The Netherlands.

Beltran double followed by Alou single netted the Mets a 1st inning run

Beltran double with 1 out, Alou (batting 3rd) singled him in. Bottom 1st, Hanley Ramirez singled, Uggla lays down a bunt and miscommunication in the infield leads to a D. Wright error, allowing Ramirez to score. Cabrera lays down a bunt, Uggla to 3rd. Cabrera would leave the game injured. Jacobs grounds out to score Uggla. Edit: what Frayed Knot said...

Thanks, Frayed and GYC for your excellent recaps. I appreciate it.

Big hit. Welcome back Delgado.

Castro touches them all! he smacked it off the Marlin's WS banner, if it was the 2003 banner then he was on that team!

6 runs with two outs:

What's amazing is that this kid is looking impressive and getting his ass kicked at the same time.

Limited and apparently inaccurate. Van Der Beek does expose the ball very early in his delivery. Wonder if the dudes could see his grip? Castro popped that like he knew it was coming.

El Duque thanks the Mets' hitters with a 3-K inning.

Carlos I goes Kaboom. 8-2.

In looking the kid up I tried to look for others from The Netherlands but had trouble finding even the ones I already knew of; namely the great Bert Blyleven.

That's pretty excellent that the Marlins have a Dutch Academy. They just became my second favorite NL East team. It's a distant second, to be honest. Credit to Willie for jiggering the lineup in a way that gives him the left/right alternating and ignores demands that he move Wright.

Keep it going, David.

The streak carries on!

Watching the first inning I thought this might be one of those nights where Dookie gets hammered. But not to be.
|
| Kid Carsey Apr 19 2007 07:03 PM |

I forget the exact point, but he's been sick since.
|
| Edgy DC Apr 19 2007 07:15 PM |

Success is good. Hitting through the lineup. I wonder if we'll see more of Beltran at two. It's likely now to happen the next time Blastro starts behind the dish.
|

Wright taken out to rest his streaking bat for tomorry.
|
| Edgy DC Apr 19 2007 07:45 PM |

Exie Hank Owens is in. He's been as good as Joe Smith so far.

Valentin with first home run of the year as the onslaught continues ....

I'm getting the Marlin broadcast. They've had Miguel Olivo mic'd and he's said absolutely nothing all night. And now.... KABOOM!
|

Nine bases on the evening for Beltran. How do we Schaefer this one?

Easley remains oh-for-Mets.

The LOBs don't seem to be bothering anyone tonight, but I tell you there would be calls for blood if they'd left all these guys on base in a close game.

The Dutchman's not the kind of man From Amsterdam in Holland So let them come to the banks of the ocean, Not a masterpiece I know, and I went a bit obscure for the [url=http://www.artistsofnote.com/michael/lyrics/dutchman.shtml]source material[/url] -- but I couldn't resist playing on the image of the Dutch pitcher and the slamdunk of substituting 'Marlins' in place of where 'Margaret' was in the original.

Wagner snapped the other streak, the scoreless bullpen innings. Oh well. I don't think that was Borchard's Johnny Cash entrance music, I think that was "I Walk the Line" for the guy batting ahead of Borchard who got walked.
|
| Johnny Dickshot Apr 19 2007 08:55 PM |
|
|
And it'd been a close game for sure if they didn't score S - I - X freakin runs, all with 2 outs, in the third inning.
|
| Nymr83 Apr 19 2007 10:38 PM |

|
and he picked a good time to snap it too, lets hope the next run our bullpen gives up is in an 8 run game
|
| duan Apr 20 2007 08:50 AM |
|
the best thing is though that they really are capable of stomping all over teams. Alou's made a big difference here. I mean Shawn Green's started as well as we could have hoped and a lot of the time we've been batting him 7th.
