Tee Ball Bunt Machine Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hopefully we can do so this month. Of all the games remaining, only one series is against a team that is not currently below 500. First 2 game sets with the Pirates and the Braves (hopefully with Chipper still out of the lineup or at least not at 100%), then the Brewers and then the Dodgers. And man, after the last couple of years I would like to take the season series from the Dodgers. Anyway, I think our odds are still pretty good at keeping pace through the end of the month. What say all of you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louiecastillo1 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I say you are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins2003 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Considering all but the last series with Dodgers are on the road, finishing the month three or four games above .500 would have to be considered an accomplishment and yeah I know it's only April, regardless where that leaves us in the standings.

Schnellders Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 i reckon it is crucial we take both games against the pirates if we do so i can see a split series against the braves and a 2-1 lost series against the brewers resulting in a 4-3 road trip, which i see as very respectable one major factor which works in our favour is the absence of smoltz, hudson and jurrjens when we visit the braves (bennett and james pitching) which should hopefully give us plenty of runs, and in turn boost the confidence and ease the pressure on miller and hopper. regarding the 2 games against the dodgers at home to finish he month (game 3 on may 1st, wow its nearly may already!) i see a 1-1 spilt with the series finale determining the winner (however i am unsure on the pitching match ups so my opinions may change on the dodger games). taking this into account we would finish the month at 16-11.  I LIKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djm305 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 We must SWEEP the Brewers in Milwaukee.

LordMagnus Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I am impressed that the Marlins seem to be finally separating themselves permanently from the less talented dredge of the National League (Pirates and Nationals). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
