The Marlins announced after tonight’s loss to Colorado that they have called up Chris Volstad and he will start in place of Mark Hendrickson. To make room for the Marlins strongest pitching prospect, Taylor Tankersley was sent to AAA Albuquerque. In 15 starts for the Double A Carolina Mudcats, Volstad went 4-4 with a 3.36era and a .251baa. In his 91 innings of work, he gave up 86 hits, while walking 30 and striking out 56.

With Coors finally acting like Coors the last couple of days, could there be a worse scenario for your first ever Major League start?

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

LOL

That’s exactly what I was thinking… at least he’s an extreme sinkerballer. Maybe they told him to watch as many tapes of Aaron Cook as he could find.
