Fishes on the Pond Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 If this team rallies back and let's say misses the playoffs by 3 or 4 games. You guys still think it needs to be blown up completely ? Right now they're 6 back in the loss column. Unless I'm reading it wrong, it is 59-61 so isn't that 2 back in the loss column? We're WAY behind the Nationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squall Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 If the new owners want to keep the entire team together and add sp through FA they can. It's just going to be expensive. None of us know what they're going to do, but if they were in this to make money the Marlin's were the wrong team to buy unless they have an idea on how to bring in the Miami market. I'm not sure a first year rebuild helps them do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now they're 6 back in the loss column. What this team needs are a couple of starters. They're close. Just stay the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTrain Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 5 games back in the loss column with 40 games to go (11 vs PHI). Fangraphs says we have a 6.1% chance of winning the Wild Card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTRiddlesMom Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I say if we go another week with a similar 6 of 7ish type of run like we have of late and especially if we gain a game or more then yeah we can definitely start looking at the standings more intently. Still a longshot of course but we've definitely picked up some steam recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP16 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I think they need at least 30 more wins the rest of the year. All teams above them at best finish the rest around 0.500 gives them good shot then. Either way if only 1 team in front of them does even above 0.500, they will have near impossible chance. But math is beautiful.

Admin Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Gotta take 3 of 4 in Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTRiddlesMom Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Arizona and Colorado play eachother several more times and I think our schedule is pretty favorable overall. We play a lot of teams that we can/should be able to beat. Plus we have a series each against Arizona and Colorado. There's ways to do this.

DTrain Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Gotta take 3 of 4 in Philly. Yup. Unfortunately, I don't have a tremendous amount of confidence that we win a series on the road vs the worst team in baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
