bob: marlins lead the se series 11-4 over the nats. it s a 2-2 ballgame in the bottom of the third inning. j.d. martin, one mistake early in the count to hanley ramirez. other than that, pretty solid. rob: i think it s one mistake for each guy. josh johnson made an opposite field mistake to dunn and j.d. martin made one mistake to hanley ramirez. now it s keeping up with josh johnson. if he throws a zero up there, if you re j.d. martin, try to match j.d. drew, try to match him 0-0, try to stay with him as long as possible. try to make him throw deep counts. hopefully, we can get josh johnson out of the way by about the sixth inning. bob: johnson is a big, strong hitter. he s hit three home runs this year. rob: when i talked to him e- talked about in college he had some excellent aches, former minor leaguers, former big home% run hitters and they taught him how to hit the opposite way. bob: you throw one out over the plate, he ll do what he did at nationals
