September 2020 game thread

I have a bad feeling. I pray he's ok but he was consistently here or the other site for years and i know he was older. Hopefully he's just enjoying the marlins runs somewhere safe and has his detailed 5 year salary ramifications posts ready to go at a moments notice.

I don't think he was older...I thought late 30s/early 40s?

[fish16]

really? Idk why i thought he was like mid 60s or something

Cabrera not on the 28-Man Roster either. That's a kick in the balls.

Castano/BP game in G4 if needed?? Tarp is out which means Rogers in pen??

[Namaste]

No Marte either. Another ball sack punch

[Namaste]

We are big underdogs market wise in this game especially considering both starters have virtually the same xFIPS.

Interested to see the lineup we put out there today. My inkling is that we're going to start a guy who K'd in more than 50% of his Plate Appearances in CF.

I was wrong. Sierra starting against the lefty.

I thought he was older too.

wow i hate the last few spots at the end of the roster. What exactly is the purpose of sean rodriguez? He's not gonna play, we have enough middle infielders or OF's, i much rather would have preferred giving that spot to Cabrera. I just think he is such a low risk high reward guy to carry on the roster at this point. He hasn't been seen by any of these guys so he might have success off the bat and if he doesnt look good just pull him quickly. I have 0 faith in rogers in a game 4. Would have much rather gone with the combo of those 2 and just stuck with whoever worked.

I also have 0 faith in vincent in a big spot so i hope he doesnt see the field or i hope its a super low leverage situation

[fish16]

absolutely sucks about Marte though. that could swing a series. Why on earth are we going sierra over brinson vs a lefty though?

[fish16]

oops didnt see brinson already in there in place of joyce. Still weird that its sierra but he's come up big several times so far this year so hopefully he has a moment today too. would be pretty cool if he can get a big hit and sandy can pitch well with Ozuna in the lineup for them as they were all traded for one another.

This fucking umpire, man

[Namaste]

11 pitches, 0 balls

[Madman81]
