August 26, 201411 yr Solid, but we have seen this team play a nice first game and then shit the bed the rest of a series.
August 26, 201411 yr 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.
August 26, 201411 yr 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.
August 26, 201411 yr 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.
August 26, 201411 yr 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.
August 26, 201411 yr 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/
August 26, 201411 yr 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.
August 26, 201411 yr 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. Baby steps my man. Marlins Park wasn't built in a day
August 26, 201411 yr PSD article Stanton: "5 months doesn't change 5 years" http://www.prosportsdaily.com/articles/giancarlo-stanton-on-the-marlins-success-five-months-doesnt-change-five-years-318876.html
August 26, 201411 yr 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.
August 26, 201411 yr 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. 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.
August 26, 201411 yr 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. there were also multiple games we shouldn't have won as well.
August 26, 201411 yr cosart was really good and so was stanton. Nobody can strike out quite like stanton.
August 26, 201411 yr Nobody can strike out quite like stanton. Giancarlo's August splits: .329/.471/.671.
August 26, 201411 yr 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.

August 26, 201411 yr That is well said and i will agree. Also, i believe loria will sign him. 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%.
August 26, 201411 yr 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%. No problem brother
August 26, 201411 yr 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%. 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? Jesus Christ...

Jesus Christ... More importantly in the argument, only one of those players plays in the NL!
August 26, 201411 yr More importantly in the argument, only one of those players plays in the NL! Ha. Ha. Ha. Just comparing Stanton to the "best player in baseball".
