  1. Fans want to discuss such things. To me, though, it's like marrying a girl after one date. Also, let's see what comes from the CBA after next season. One full season under Marsee's belt will be helpful, and the new agreement may significantly change the team's payroll strategy.
  2. Perhaps both teams will benefit according to their respective strategies. The Marlins are obviously progressing, we see it clearly now. For the Padres, the top spot in the NL West may very well be a precursor to their first WS title. The Friars and Expos were 1969 expansion colleagues. I would also be fine with the Brewers as NL representatives in the WS. A title for the Crew would likewise be their first. No Dodgers, Mets, or Phillies in the NL. No Yankees or Red Sox in the AL.
  3. Being a proper superstitious baseball fan, I will continue to predict Marlins series losses and ludicrous/unlikely MVPs during this fine streak the team is on. In case anyone cares, yes, I know Austin Riley is on the IL. PS - These next two weeks' games are immensely weighted and quite interesting. Is it the path to a WC berth or the proverbial brick wall for these surprising young Marlins?
  4. Hate the feeling of this series. Braves take 4 of 5. Austin Riley is MVP. Ugh.
  5. What a month of exciting clutch hits! Quite an achievement for the young fellow.
  6. Welcome aboard the Magic Bendix Express.
  7. Good dude. Right back at him for his personal success and for the Astros. I can definitely root for them over any of the likely WS-capable teams in either league.
  8. The PH homers were the fun if the night. The Marlins and their fans can't expect to win every remaining game, especially against one of the league's best teams. Keep an even keel, as they used to say. Quantrill is a pitch-to-contact guy, so the defense must be on this evening.
  9. Dude is an extra-base hitting machine to start his career.
  10. Ely brought up the Jacob Berry situation on the Sunday evening call-in show (8/3). I also thought Berry was a possible first base candidate, especially if Wagaman gets a reset assignment to Jacksonville. Some players counterintuitively overachieve in the Show vis-à-vis their minor league performances. We might apply that to Heriberto Hernández right now, and several players come to mind from my Expos fandom days. I have a feeling that Berry might be one of those rare cases, too, and I'd like to see it.
  11. I join with many others positing the adage that some of the best moves are ones not made. These next two months may be quite entertaining and certainly (for most) unexpected.
  12. Incroyable! Sorry I missed this instant classic live. I will watch that replay again tomorrow!
  13. I am definitely in the "sad to see him go" category for Sánchez. He had a certain je ne sais quoi along with his ubiquitous smile. Still, Marcee was ready with Conine in the wings. We didn't even expect Heriberto Hernández, either. The Astros are a team I can pull for in the American League, as it appears the Rays are no longer contenders. I wouldn't mind the 'Stros with Jeezy or the Jays in the World Series. That would mean the Yankees and Red Sox are out, happy occurrences in any season.
  14. Maybe Berry should change the spelling of his first name, Marsee-esque, to Jakob. 😆
  15. I'd have no problem with Sánchez garnering a WS ring with the Astros, because that means no title for the Dodgers, Yankees, Phillies, or Mets. In other words, a good season.
  16. The Marlins' catching situation is the proverbial good problem to have.
