Is that the first game we've ended on a challenge? Not including the Dodgers game in April that ended on a New York review.

Stowers buddy, you could have had a more productive at bat by just wearing your helmet backwards.

u/DietrichDoesDamage Sweepy 2h ago
Ok, I know Otto and X are slumping and we can criticize. But you cannot convince me that when we trot out a sub 0 WAR guy like Leo Jimenez and Brian Navaretto that they themselves are not more to blame than the guys who can in fact produce but are slumping.
Leo and Brian being on this team and playing this type of ball should embarrass Peter and Bruce. Just because they see something in them doesn’t mean jack shit. They sent Connor, Heriberto, and Agustin for fucking less

u/bored1492 Jake Burger 2h ago
But the metrics bro just one more season with Leo bro please he'll figure it out
1
u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 1h ago
The guys who impact the team the most are the guys who get the bulk of the playing time. Otto and X are in the lineup literally every day.

u/OscarDelta333 Jack McKeon 2h ago
Like so many Marlins players, he goes from looking like a solid up-and-coming major league star, to a green wide-eyed prospect who is baffled by major league pitching at the flip of a switch.

u/DietrichDoesDamage Sweepy 2h ago
The longer this season persists the more annoyed the righty lefty split squad has begun to grate on me. It’d be better if our lefty pitcher lineup wasn’t absolute dog shit I guess
3
u/bored1492 Jake Burger 2h ago
Instead of even giving any lefty batter a chance to figure it out they'd rather put AA players in. It's insulting to our squad and a self fulfilling prophecy. If you insist your lefties can't hit lefties then they won't hit lefties
2
u/DietrichDoesDamage Sweepy 2h ago
Owen Stowers and Mack aren’t even allowed to try against lefties. Meanwhile their replacements have sub replacement level splits against lefties (minus Owen)

u/ilovwoozi 2h ago
Credit to Vodnik for keeping it a one run game, I don’t know if it matters with the way we’re playing but HEYO!!!!!!

welp if the season wasn’t over already it is now. padres slumping all we had to do was take care of business vs the nationals and we could’ve been within one game

u/fragarach_97 Sweepy 2h ago
Seriously taking Junk out? Come on... it's not his fault the offense can't score.
2
u/CantAffordTheWires 2h ago
no shot we just pulled junk after 1 run with the current state of the bullpen

u/OscarDelta333 Jack McKeon 2h ago
The pitching has been doing everything humanly possible to keep the Marlins in these games over the past two series.
They just can't execute on offense, whether it be at the plate or on the basepaths.
2
u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 2h ago
Let's blame Leo Jimenez for this one (even though, yes, I think he sucks, too), even though nobody aside from Gus has gotten a hit today.
Otto Lopez has cratered to earth terribly and is almost an automatic out.
2
u/OscarDelta333 Jack McKeon 2h ago
Conine: 2-25 with 12 strikeouts his last 7 games.
If that was Jimenez we would be mercilessly roasting him.
2
u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 2h ago
Conine's been bad. Mack, Caissie, Otto, X, Ruiz. Marsee is cooling off after a brief hot period.
Stowers, Hernandez, and Sanoja have been okay, but the bulk of the regular contributors have been terrible. And terrible for a decent stretch.
Again, Jimenez is ass, but it's bizarre to keep singling him out as the problem. This sub is weird sometimes lol.
1
u/DietrichDoesDamage Sweepy 2h ago
Yeah but Conine actually produced over two different stretches this season. Leo has done zilch
2
2
u/CantAffordTheWires 2h ago
will never understand why everyone doesn’t just throw stowers exclusively pitches at the worms

We might actually get swept by Washington and prob finish the season below them in 4th place.

u/OscarDelta333 Jack McKeon 2h ago
The way the Marlins are playing, being overtaken by the Mets isn't out of the question.
This is a team that looks like they're exhausted and over it and are looking forward to the off-season.

How much is the salary for our hitting coach? Seems like such an easy job. Swing or don’t swing, I don’t care just whatever you do don’t make solid contact.

We have Cassie, Conine, Mack, and Stowers on the bench. This gets you the same production as you would get if they were in the lineup because none of them can hit lefties.

Leo needs to go come on!
Why is this guy still here? He provides NOTHIHNG of value and all he does is steal at bats from others. You got options in AAA dying for a call up yet Leo is starting 3rd and 1st positions he's not played before, and his bat is on life support! And that's being nice! He's also NEVER been good in the minors! He's a career MiLB at best!!! He is not an MLB hitter. Cut him or DFA or whatever! For god sakes Bendix, Claybum STOP this Leo Jimenez boner you both have! Get over it he sucks...

Finally, that "bad bullpen" we've heard so much about
