May 22 -- TUESDAY NIGHT OUTTAKES

MIAMI GARDENS -- OK, we get it. Scott Olsen doesn't like the Phillies. And, one of these days, he may just start a good, old-fashioned brawl with them.

After using the word "hate" last season to describe his feelings toward the Phils, Olsen took exception in the third inning tonight to Chase Utley, who interrupted his delivery by asking for time. Then, after walking Utley in the sixth, the Marlins' lefty shouted to him to run to first base. Utley just smirked, although I'm sure he would've been happy to pummel Olsen if the lefty had taken a step toward first. Cole Hamels said the Phillies don't like Olsen much either. Hmm, wonder why?

A few other notes that didn't get much ink in the 50-cent edition:

* Before the game, Aaron Rowand told me that he's seen some wacky stuff in center field at Citizens Bank Park. The stadium's dimensions cause the wind to whip in multiple directions. Remember when Rowand slipped last Saturday night trying to track a line drive hit by Lyle Overbay? Rowand said the ball changed direction twice. Twice. "I've played in every stadium in the big leagues," he said, "and I've seen some [stuff] there that I've never seen anywhere else."

* Remember Jayson Werth? I know, it's hard. He doesn't play much. But he routinely hits some of the longest home runs in batting practice, and tonight, he showed flashes of the potential that sold Pat Gillick on signing him in the offseason. Werth, who missed all of last season after having two surgeries on his wrist, blasted his first homer since Aug. 29, 2005, in the first inning, then hit a two-run shot in the third. With production like that, he's going to merit more playing time.

* The Phillies will try to get back to .500 again tomorrow night with Freddy Garcia on the mound. And Garcia may have some extra motivation. The Phillies' biggest offseason addition was irked last Thursday when Charlie Manuel pulled him with the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth inning because he'd thrown 114 pitches. Garcia believes he's earned the right to get himself out of jams like that. But he hasn't gotten out of the sixth inning in seven starts, so, as I see it, he hasn't earned much of anything from the Phils. “He’s wanting to prove how good he can be,” Manuel said. “How much he’s pitched over the years speaks for itself. He’s an established pitcher. I want him to be as good as he can be.”
