I was thinking the same thing. We didn't need to win out, but we have to win all the remaining series, not necessarily sweep, though that'd be ideal. But to @Entendu's point, we can't fall back into the rudderless team we saw in Milwaukee. Hopefully they wake up tonight.
September 19, 20233 yr But one game doesn't make a losing streak. Let's breathe and see how they do today. We just swept the freaking Braves too, so we just won 3 of 4. If you had told me after Thursday's loss to the Brewers that we'd have won 3 of the next 4 and be only .5 of a spot heading into Tuesday we would all have taken that.
September 19, 20233 yr This team need to do everything to make it to the playoffs, make it to the playoffs means you are a good team and no one can argue that.

September 19, 20233 yr 3 hours ago, Entendu said: The problem is we've seen this all season. Massive blowouts, followed by a string of games where they can't hit a thing. It's usually a string of games, and we can't afford that now. There's no making up for a slump right now. Couple that the fact that we just had a slump against Milwaukee and it's starting to feel like Atlanta was just severely hung over... especially since the Phillies just destroyed them yesterday too. The huge fear is that this team is closer to the one that played Milwaukee than the one that played Atlanta. And now we have to go 7-4 or 8-3 I still say 6-5 or 7-4. If they can’t do that with 8 of 11 games against teams who’ve been out of the race for a long time, then they don’t deserve it, really. I don’t really care between WC2 or WC3 by the way. Anyone else have a preference?

And WC1 vs WC2. So basically brewers or phillies
September 19, 20233 yr For what it’s worth, still at 42% playoff odds in fangraphs. I believe was 55% before yesterday’s game. So, it’s far from over.

Of course they're bad (I don't think you would say they're good when they lose in the playoffs ) if they played bad in the playoffs but it wouldn't obliterate the fact they're a real playoffs team. By the way, I'm nervous and I believe the players nervous too but I hope they don't. Edited September 19, 20233 yr by TaiwanMarlins

Anyone else have a preference? It kinda depends. WC3 would be against Brewers and WC2 against Phillies. But then you have to also kinda consider the series after that. WC3/3rd Division Champ winner would face the Dodgers, WC1/WC2 winner faces Atlanta. Lol. It just sucks either way after the WC round.
September 19, 20233 yr I wasn't watching when it happened but I saw some replays, the ball landed foul by ten feet or so, is the question whether or not it went over the foul pole? Cuz I don't see how it would actually be fair otherwise.

It is at least encouraging that we've recently played well against both the Dodgers and Braves, so there's that..., but still it'll be tough. 19 hours ago, SilverBullet said: I wasn't watching when it happened but I saw some replays, the ball landed foul by ten feet or so, is the question whether or not it went over the foul pole?

September 20, 20233 yr The Marlins have to play the Brewers and Mets AGAIN...both teams with good starting pitching who can easily shut down the Fish's offense. It's going to be a really hard stretch.

It's going to be a really hard stretch. It's not about how good those teams are, but rather how hot we can get. The way the Marlins operate, they get shut out by bad teams and blow out good teams depending on how *they* are doing at the time.

When the Marlins get hot they can beat anyone so the question is which Marlins team will show up for those games. And while the schedule is scary this team has proven they can beat tough opponents so we know it's not impossible.
