Braves got heavy hitters and marlins sending out a rook and a bullpen pitcher to save us. Sandy has been getting rocked this year, so obviously not our best. Idk how they could know every pitch, but they might just be very good

Marlins are trading outs at the plate for defense with Stallings. If he gets a hit its an unexpected welcome surprise. When they got him, they probably assumed he'd hit .250 but he can barely hit above .150 Maybe we should get Jorge Alfaro? 😄

Love the small ball they are playing. Last year they couldn't make any contact and now finally they brought in all contact hitters. Marlins are making runs out of walks and bunts...who would have guessed that after last year's dismal performance. Great wins lately and I really like how skip is managing the games with the bullpen and lineup.

Probably but the ump really didn't help him out today. He was taking pitches that were balls that consistently were being called strikes. I thought he had a good approach by not swinging at balls, but obviously he needs to adjust when the umpire has a wide strike zone. He needs to make more contact and foul off borderline pitches until he can get something to hit.

I'd extend coop depending on how he does this year and what the asking price is for him. If he's affordable, then go, if not then obviously look elsewhere. Marlins have no bats close to his consistency anywhere in the minors and I'm not a fan of experimenting with another Garcia / Soler type of hitter in free agency. Marlins seem to do well when they trade for pitchers, so if they can flip him for a decent rotation guy, then that might be the best outcome given his age and consistent ability to get injured.

Coop is our third or second best hitter and yall calling him trash? Who else in the farm is mlb ready that can perform at his level? Even his defense has been solid this year. He's a classic under the radar solid bat.

When yelich and Stanton played here. 🙂

Marlins have run out of hitters and pitchers.

Stallings has helped our pitching staff. Calls good games and that's good enough to keep him. In today's game vs mets you could see Scott struggling finding the strike zone throwing wild fastballs and Stallings started dialing in sliders inside that although weren't strikes, were still generating swings and misses. Stallings is all about handling the pitching staff. Record years for both Sandy and Pablo. I gotta say he's not great at throwing out runners or hitting, but he seems savy in calling a good game.

Well, Soler is leading the team in walks and strikeouts. 🙂 take that

Where's the cheap Jeter guy?

Why is Jazz even being discussed? No1 but the players knows what took place in the meeting. It's easy to make up crap and put Jazz in the middle of it because it's "spicy". Chances are it's all made up for media attention.

LOL I like the guy a lot. He swings at every pitch and doesn't strike out. Comes in clutch in the 10th and throws himself belly first into home (someone needs to meme that) . What's not to love?

What happened to Garcia? Is this a benching, personal issue, or what? Let's guess.

Lol this has to be lous fav player.

Our pitching staff is a lot more dominant this year. How much of that success comes from Stallings? Yall being very harsh. Alfaro swung at every pitch and couldn't catch. Sandy Leon could barely hit a pop up. Only good catcher weve had in the last 10+ yrs is Realmuto. I'll take my chances with Stallings.

Poteet should be promoted. Elieser needs to hit the pen.

Lol What more does he have to do to get a chance? Hit 1.000 and Don still gonna ride soler, Garcia, Sanchez. Look at Harold Ramirez, he was our best offense boost in 2019. What did the Marlins do? Wave the guy after his injury.

Can anyone make sense of this move? Why did we call up Lewin after Luzardo was put on the IL?

Hug it out

All DLC has done is hit since he's been called up to MLB. Idk why yall keep calling it Luck. In 215 ABs he's hitting .298

Kim has a done a great job getting Luzardo, Wendle, Stallings, almost all the relievers she's brought in have been gold. Kim has missed so far* on Garcia and Soler. Soler hit 47 hrs in 2019 and has power. Garcia is one that she knew was probably a gamble since he's had some very mediocre seasons. Overall a solid B. At least we're not giving away yelich for nothing any more.

Lol Tommy Hutton says Don rotates the players to keep them fresh. Wendle is resting, saving his energy to produce on a day Don benches Jazz 🙂

I have faith in Rojas/Aguilar to get things back. Garcia looks like he's hacking at anything and Soler is an easy pop fly machine. Is there any statistics on players who get a nice contract and then performance falls off a cliff? It looks like their incentive to perform is gone or they are trying so hard to perform that it's working against them. As far as getting a CF? Sánchez is holding his own just fine. The corner outfielders are the ones seriously struggling.

On a positive note, our bullpen is looking damn good.
