And I've had enough of the Dodgers winning, but I want them to win this series. I honestly haven't watched any postseason games after we got eliminated.

GuitarPik Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Kershaw scratched for tonight. The Braves sure seem like they are catching every break this postseason so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 This crap again? We still playing this game? Here's Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com talking about the Braves and he says this... Quote In the NL Division Series, they breezed past a Marlins club whose mere presence in the postseason was due to their success in the seven-inning doubleheaders necessitated by their own COVID-19 outbreak. Marlins played 12 doubleheader games, they went 8 and 4, so four games over .500 in the doubeheaders. Didn't realize the Marlins only made the playoffs because of the 4 extra wins the doubleheaders gave them, didn't realize the doubleheader games counted differently than the other games, didn't realize the Marlins were so terrible if you remove the doubleheaders. MLB.com should know better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Kinda crazy how the World Series is shaping up. I think a Dodgers WS appearance was almost unanimously expected and from that a rematch with the Astros was lining up beautifully so that the Dodgers could finally reach their elusive goal with an avenging victory over those cheating Astros... but holy cow the Braves and Rays have just about completely flipped the script and what looks to be coming might be more interesting than expected for us Marlins fans. I think plenty of us have a share of respect, maybe some envy, to the Rays and when you combine that with a pretty common hatred for the Braves, we might have a lot to root for around here if this WS is the matchup it's looking like it's gonna be. Not gonna lie, I was really ready for the Dodgers over Astros redemption story though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirFishFan Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Dodgers have been my unofficial second favorite team I think since Juan Encarnacion was traded there after ‘03. While I haven’t followed them super closely over the years, I have followed from a distance every season, maybe watching a game or two if I can. But I have to say, I’ve never been a biggest Dodgers fan in my life than I am tonight! Let’s go Dodgers! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFan95 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Braves have woken up the sleeping giant in the Dodgers offense. As bad as the Braves rotation is after the top, I feel like momentum is on the Dodgers side and they will win the next 2. Would not be surprised if this went 7m but I think the dodgers pull it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hanley's problem was himself, Acuna's problem is more about how he interacts with others, so yes the Nyjer Morgan example is valid. Acuna may be a better player than Hanley though so he should have a better career over time though. Also plays for a team more marketable than the Marlins so he'll be hyped and promoted even more. Actually a more successful team too so he will make more playoff appearances as well. Yea the signs sure do point to Acuna surpassing Hanley.
