And now the Marlins have... you guessed it... A 1 run lead. -
Why do I keep scoreboard watching? The Marlins are about to tie the game or take the lead
-
Didn't you read the fine print??? Once you subscribe, you can NEVER cancel! Seriously though, I have no idea.
-
That should definitely be a consideration. A lot of things can happen in the off-season, but I would lean toward having him start the season in Iowa and hope he forces their hand like Morel did this year
-
I don't even remember the rules anymore. If the delay had started prior to the 9th would it still have been a suspended game, or would it's have been considered official at that point?
-
What the horsefeathers is going on?
-
A little diamond dry will fix that right up.
-
So hypothetically, the Cubs sweep the Brewers, the Marlins win 2 of 3 against the Pirates, and then it all comes down to a 1 inning game where the Mets need to score at least 1 to tie and 2 to win. But in that scenario, we survive until Monday! That's almost as good as making the playoffs, right???
-
That would be wild, but no way in hell that happens.
-
Fun with arbitrary endpoints - The Cubs are 6-13 since the start of the Arizona series on 9/7. If they could have just gone 8-11 over that same period, they would be headed into Milwaukee with a lead.
-
If only some of the bad Cubs teams of the past few years were this good at tanking late season games...
-
To be fair, the Cubs are tied with San Diego in the category and they are under .500
-
I get that, but we have seen this team win games by a lot, and then consistently lose them by a little. Maybe that's all that bad luck in how runs are being sequenced, but I have a hard time not thinking this particular bad bullpen has led to a lot more close losses than close wins.
-
I have a feeling a lot of people are suddenly second thinking their potential weekend trip to Milwaukee now.
-
He is a solid #2 or 3. This year was almost certainly an outlier.
-
Counterpoint: Good starting pitching is going to keep games close and terrible bullpen is going to lose a lot of those games.
-
I have no idea how Swanson is still hitting .247 because it seems like he keeps going a week between hits. Oh by the way, he would be the 8th best hitter in the Braves lineup.
-
I sure would have liked to see Morel get a chance there.
-
That's something alright. He's like the anti Yan Gomes in clutch situations.
-
Come on Dansby. Do something.
-
Damn, I'm good at this.
-
He's the gift that keeps on giving.
-
Anthony Kay in to close it out for the Mets with 1 out and a runner on. I'm sure this will go great!
-
Only a 1 run lead, so the Marlins can't lose by that score. I expect the them to score 2 in the 9th.
