Can the Marlins win a game in Atlanta?

I will take 1/3 and just moving on to next week. If we can get 2/3 I’d be over the moon

2 runs over 36 innings from our starters in the last 6 games. Under no circumstances do you touch that rotation

[fish16]

On a 94-95 win pace at this win percentage

Amazing tight rope walking after being no hit for 7. This team needs radical bat upgrades ASAP. Bruce is an even worse owner than I think he is if he won't bet on this pitching staff.

First 10 games of the tough 20 game stretch before the allstar break we went 7-3.

Lee my man, are you trying to fill the Maddawg void? Enjoy the ride, the fish are hot baby.

He might just be a little salty that his spring overreaction prediction for wins might be eclipsed by the all star break

I am looking forward to the crowds next week for the 7 home games. If we can win 2 in Atlanta, look out. Stealing the hoeing game would be huge. Soroka has barely pitched in 3 full seasons. He’s their sixto. I just hope we at least hang tough with them and don’t get blown out 3 straight games. With sandy and eury going we have a chance

Soroka pitched a gem vs JAX last weekend. 7 innings, 1 hit, and 9K.

I totally forgot about Maddawg. Hahahaha

Amazing sweep at Fenway. Segura had 4 hits in the series. I will be ecstatic if we win one game in Atlanta.

Jokes.

i have 0 expectations for tonight, especially considering braves had an off day yesterday and we reportedly got to the hotel in atlanta at 3 am. hoeing going in game 1 against that juggernaut lineup seems like a recipe for disaster but maybe we can hang in there and steal 1 with sandy and eury in games 2 and 3.

Part of me hopes they do nothing so we can see the crying posts August 24th when reality sets in after a Dodgers/Padres west coast banger with the Astros, Yankees, away series in Cincy and Texas, and Phillies right before that, but alas, we don't want that to happen so hopefully they do the right thing and get these guys some real bats.

Lol, why would you hope for that?

Agreed - with how we played against Atlanta early in the season, I'll be happy with 1/3. 2/3 would be awesome, considering we're playing much better than we were last time we saw Atlanta, but 1/3 is fine.

I totally forgot about Maddawg. Hahahaha

Funny (though unsurprising) that he's been completely absent with the team winning.

MLBTR mentions Marlins first in a Candelario piece. And then 8 other teams including some big boys - https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/...-deadline.html

Nationals are going to make a package of something and get a better guy for Candelario here if they are smart. Gonna need to get Eder on the table and get Thomas and/or Harvey back to get ahead of other offers. Astros/Phillies have a lot of young OF to move that likely trump the Marlins secondary guys, and the DBacks have some better than Vargas 18 year olds to juice packages. That may be the main competition.

Candelario, Thomas (and extend Candelario for 2-3 years)
Eder, Fulton, Mesa. Jr. Reynolds/comp pick

Something like that would be real hard for another team to beat and I like it with an extension to build in a legitimate IF bridge to ideally Cappe/Watson. They can afford to extend him. I think we'll survive with Luzardo(3 - extend him too), Rogers (3), Garrett (5), Puk (3), Nardi (5), Scott (1), Okert (3), and Monteverde (6) as the top 8 organizational lefties. That's a lot of control years and effectively would be set for at least three years with the 3 SP and 3 RP.

Would be great to do this in anticipation for 7/7 Phillies series as that is a potentially playoff deciding series with likely their main competition for last WC spot (I think this will be a nail biter for them t to get in). Do the trade, extend Arraez, Luzardo, Candelario, Eury, and Jazz this week, and imagine how pumped up that team is going to be. Let's run a business Bruce. You run a BUSINESS. This is good for business.
