In terms of pitching matchup, we have a struggling Phils veteran, Jon Lieber, going up against a Marlins rookie lefty, Scott Olsen. Given the Phils' difficulties with 1) lefties, 2) rookies, and 3) Marlins, I can't say I have a great deal of confidence going in here.
David Bell and his veteran leadership miss their third straight game. Considering that Olsen's a lefty, Bell must be hurting a bit worse than the team has claimed.
