April 23, 20233 yr Double header sweep!! Puk yeah! Smeltzer, beautiful. Pitchers allowed just 3 runs over 18 innings. DLC with about 60 doubles today and a homer. Tight. Another series win!
April 23, 20233 yr Puk scares me but stoked to see Lizard go for the sweep tomorrow. I think they finally sweep one.
April 23, 20233 yr Man Ive been a fanboy of DLC's potential since he came over and he's had hot streaks multiple times but I really hope this sustained streak after his adjustments last year is what keeps him in the lineup. And he just turned 26 back in December so he should be coming into his prime years. Edited April 23, 20233 yr by hovertical

Lol I think overall managers still don't have a massive impact but BAD managers do....Don was one of those. Average to good..meh but if you have someone as checked out as Don clearly was last year..yeah you reap what you sow when keeping someone like that in charge of team

And not having his players' backs either like Skip has shown he has so far.

April 23, 20233 yr It's very likely Barnes or Scott would be the closer if Mattingly were still in charge. Lindgren would have started Game 1 today. Avi would be batting cleanup, and Jazz would have been left out to dry with the umpire today.

April 23, 20233 yr Still not getting my hopes up with this team because it has so many holes, but I will say it is nice to see the club not essentially be done for the year in late April for a change.

April 23, 20233 yr Love the small ball they are playing. Last year they couldn't make any contact and now finally they brought in all contact hitters. Marlins are making runs out of walks and bunts...who would have guessed that after last year's dismal performance. Great wins lately and I really like how skip is managing the games with the bullpen and lineup.

April 23, 20233 yr Author Shout out to Luis Urueta getting out ahead of that wacky situation in the 9th - if Cleveland had been able to challenge that play at home, it would have been overturned but Luis jumped out there quickly and got the umpire's attention to say "hey, Kwan hit that ball twice ..." Yes, it did give Kwan another chance, but thankfully it paid off for us.
