I hope you're wrong sue, but I too don't think it will help
For Len and Bob talking about how well Harden pitched during the day last time, the wind was blowing in hard, and he’s sure used to cold weather conditions. Let’s hope he pitches another gem, I would imagine with the humidity Lou will yank him earlier than he might otherwise.

…and upon winning the prize, immediately whip out a knife, decapitate said goat, and smear the’ blood all over the Marlins announcer and say…

everyone is ready to go. looks like it is going to be 5 inning rich.
Marlins is a bad match up for rich. they LOVE fastballs and do not walk. they do not care about strike outs. Outside of pretty much Hanley they just sit fastballs and forget offspeed. So with Rich they will whack a fastball or two but at the same time they swing and miss so much it drives rich’s PC way up.
