December 31, 20196 yr I wrote this late last night. It's a three slide article that outlines exactly how the Marlins can finish the 2020 season with 85 regular season wins. Let me know what you think. https://marlinmaniac.com/2019/12/31/digging-steamers-projections-marlins/
December 31, 20196 yr Counterpoint: no, but they will be a lot better and take huge steps to a winning record in 2021.
December 31, 20196 yr Over/Under on wins is 64.5 last check, that to me is an easy over. But I also lose most of my bets so what do I know. I think they win something in the 70s.
January 1, 20206 yr I think they win something in the 70s. The Marlins began play in the 90s so there's no way they could win something in the 70s.
January 1, 20206 yr The Marlins began play in the 90s so there's no way they could win something in the 70s. Duh, he meant the 2070s.
January 1, 20206 yr I would love to see the look on GiraffeNeckMarc's face if the Marlins finish in front of his Mets team!
January 1, 20206 yr I mean it’s not COMPLETELY impossible that all of those situations happen. It’s actually what most championship teams are: a team where everyone has career years all at once. Let’s hope you’re right!
January 1, 20206 yr https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/12/mlbtr-poll-how-good-are-the-reds.html Shouldn't they make a thread like this regarding the Marlins !?

January 1, 20206 yr https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/12/mlbtr-poll-how-good-are-the-reds.html Shouldn't they make a thread like this regarding the Marlins !? the thing(s) about the Reds: 1. They have a really strong rotation. Castillo, Gray, Bauer, Miley, DeSclafani 2. Probably league average pen at worst 3. Historically they hit better than last year so a bounce back offensively is not completely out of the question 4. Votto is aging. He wasn’t great last year but his floor is still extremely high. He’s one of the great players in the league and he absolutely could put together another great season. 5. They signed Moustakas which is a monstrous upgrade over what they had at 2nd last year. They’re still signing players 6. Senzel is a strong candidate for a big year. They’re one of those teams that things could break big in either direction. I think the Marlins aren’t quite there yet. But as long as they stick to the plan and continue through the phases of rebuild without trying to skip a step they’ll get there. Villar and Dickerson are excellent additions for where they’re at. The marlins aren’t done signing either. They also have promise in the staff. It’s just that the Reds are in a different phase of the lifecycle
January 1, 20206 yr Who the f is that? Some twitch streamer? YouTube guy. He's a Mets fan, as was mentioned.
January 1, 20206 yr I don't think we significantly will improve our team after the acquisition of some batters and coaches. But I believe it won't happen a 100+ lost season again
January 1, 20206 yr I don't think we significantly will improve our team after the acquisition of some betters and coaches. But I believe it won't happen a 100+ lost season again Definitely not a 100 loss season in 2020. 95 at worst, which would still be a 10 win improvement.
January 1, 20206 yr YouTube guy. He's a Mets fan, as was mentioned. He's not a Mets fan. He's a complete Mets homer.
January 1, 20206 yr A belligerent one? Let's just say I would like to see him by the end of the year with a bag or mask over his face.
January 1, 20206 yr Let's just say I would like to see him by the end of the year with a bag or mask over his face. Like these fans?
January 1, 20206 yr Like these fans? Those Mets fans are so embarrassed that they swapped out their jerseys.
January 1, 20206 yr I could date a super model, which is probably about as likely as the Marlins making the playoffs. The Reds have been improving drastically to anyone who has actually paid attention to baseball. They are the team that kinda scares me more than any team in the NL and I wouldnt be surprised if they are the team people are saying, where did they come from? Their rotation is kick ass. They have a total stud at 3b in Suarez. Votto (who I think they should get rid of), is still productive, especially in the 2 hole I think. Moose is going to hit and make that team real good. Akiyama is going to start in CF. If he takes his game and it translates into MLB (which is plausbile), thats going to help tremendously. I really like Jesse Winker in the outfield. Senzel is going to be play LF or SS (which I think is stupid, but so is Moose at 2b full time). If they can add one more piece (ss or outfield) they will be even scarier. The Marlins are no where close to where the Reds are competively. To even make a comparision is simply shortsided.
January 2, 20206 yr Over/Under on wins is 64.5 last check, that to me is an easy over. I don’t agree on the “easy” part. 65 wins would be a EIGHT win improvement. That’s quite substantial and not that much has changed. No Chen will add 2 wins and Villar/Dickerson will get us 3-4 wins but I see Caleb Smith regressing. Eight wins is a big jump. Also, NL East. That being said, I think the 2021 team has a real shot at 81 wins.
