Default Phillies @ Marlins Series Thread 5/22-5/24

After taking 2 out of 3 against the Jays, the Phillies travel to Florida for a 3 game series against the Fish.

Pitching Matchups:

Tuesday May 22nd--- Cole Hamels vs Scott Olsen--7:05 pm CSN
Wednesday May 23rd-- Freddy Garcia vs ?Byung Hyun Kim----- 7:05 pm CSN
Thursday May 24th--- Jon Lieber vs Dontrelle Willis --7:05 pm CSN

Players to watch:

Philadelphia:

RF Shane Victorino continues his great base stealing, now in the top 5 with 16 SB.
1B Greg Dobbs has been great since he filled in for Ryan Howard.
RHP Brett Myers has been lights out as a closer allowing only 2 ER since his move to the bullpen, lowering his Era down to 4.58

Florida:

2B Dan Uggla is coming around after struggling in April, now tied for the team lead in homeruns with 8.
3B Miguel Cabrera is a threat any time he steps up to the plate.
SP Dontrelle Willis is hit or miss when he faces the Phillies, he's 8-5 with a 3.78 Era in 18 career starts.

Weather Forecast for Miami:

Tuesday May 22nd--- Scattered Thunderstorms High 83
Wednesday May 23rd--- Partly Cloudy High 84
Thursday May 24th--- Isolated Thunderstorms/Wind High 84

I think Thursday is a tough matchup, but hopefully we can hit Kim and Olsen hard.
