canada-marlin24 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Solid, but we have seen this team play a nice first game and then shit the bed the rest of a series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entendu Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Solid, but we have seen this team play a nice first game and then shit the bed the rest of a series. As fans of every team have. This is a good win, and much-needed. We're only 3 games back of the second wild card spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vince0926 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I know it sounds redundant....but time is running out fast. We need to get out of this psychological funk of just staying around .500. 88 wins will get us in and that means 23-9. Not impossible but we will not make it at this rate. 2 6 game winning streaks needs to happen pretty much now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bret Hart Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yelich' season OPS is over .800. Not speedster but on-base machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FightingFish00x Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 It might be too early to make this statement but it looks like the Marlins might have won the trade at the deadline with the Houston Astros. Cosart has given the Marlins exactly what they needed. I like our chances when he's on the mound. He had a live fastball yesterday topping out at 98 mph and he mixed in his curveball nicely.

Undakai Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yeah, Cosart has done very well since coming here. If he keeps this up, I could care less about what we traded to get him. Possible steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollythewog Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 We're still a few years at minimum away from knowing who won the trade, but Cosart has found his control...for now at least. Here's a nice article on him http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/still-curious-about-jarred-cosart/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Bittersweet win cuz we won big and gained a game but knowing we could (almost should) have been 1 game back right now stings a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Baby steps my man. Marlins Park wasn't built in a day True. But if Cishek had taken a baby step on Saturday and if the team took another baby step on Sunday, we'd be a game back right now. Baby steps is one thing, missing multiple opportunities to take those baby steps is another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby steps is one thing, missing multiple opportunities to take those baby steps is another. Not to mention the game we lost to the Reds because of the over turned call at the plate. We should be tied for the second wild card spot right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollythewog Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Also, 14 others strike out a higher % rate than Stanton so your statement is factually incorrect, Vince. The difference is, none of those 14 even come close to Stanton in any of the non k stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not the agreeable response I was expecting, but I'll take it Last point, Trout's k rate is 25.2%. Stanton's is 26.2%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanton's BA of .299 is better than Trout's .285 And Stanton's OBP of .409 is way better than Trout's .370 And Stanton's SLG% of .566 is better than Trout's .555 And Stanton's WAR of 6.5 is better than Trout's 6.0 How is it even a question who the NL MVP is?
