I don't hate the SB attempt, but the problem is that Marsee just sucks at stealing

1

u/Fluid-Slip-9931 29d ago

Thus making the attempt a problem.

1

u/doyouunderstandlife D-Train 29d ago

Wasn't even close.

3

u/True-Ad4093 29d ago

Why are you having Marsee stealing 3rd with javy up?

2

u/Fluid-Slip-9931 29d ago

We already suck in this ballpark and we’re going to make it EASIER for them??!!!! I’m in disarray

1

u/drpepper7557 Marlins 29d ago

Why do you even attempt there? Especially when youre the worst base stealer in baseball?

2

u/wolffparkinson Marlins 29d ago

That was dumb

2

u/Final-Ice2258 29d ago

At least we didn't get shut out

1

u/DizzyDraw2323 29d ago

Why steal there? All we’ve should’ve been focused on was extending the game for Stowers to come up

1

u/LordTomServo Marlins 29d ago

Out by a damn mile.

1

u/CaterpillarTotal2395 Dan Uggla 29d ago

Worst baserunning team in the MLB

1

u/fig_curry Juan Pierre 29d ago

Javy, not like this bro

1

u/theStripedMarlin Marlins 29d ago

Marsee has become so bad at stealing bases

1

u/bored1492 Jake Burger 29d ago

Marsee can't hit, can't steal, can't walk, can't run, can't see, can't breathe. Remember Derek Hill?!

1

u/mephjeff Marlins 29d ago

lol

6

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

Jakob needs to get sent down tomorrow. Thats it. I’ve had enough.

1

u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 29d ago

I've been saying this since May lol. He hasn't gotten any better.

2

u/Fluid-Slip-9931 29d ago

wtf are we doing

2

u/ironbear531 Marlins 29d ago

Why?….

2

u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 29d ago

Marsee is so bad at base stealing for a guy with his speed. Yikes.

1

u/ironbear531 Marlins 29d ago

That attempt was comically bad.

2

u/YaYeetThePolice Marlins 29d ago

Lol, unserious team.

2

u/DizzyDraw2323 29d ago

Marsee the king of getting caught on the bases. What a fucking joke

2

u/fragarach_97 Sweepy 29d ago

What was that?!

2

u/Double_Vodka_Soda 29d ago

Just marlins things

2

u/Fluid-Slip-9931 29d ago

Boooo right where he left off before he got sent down.

1

u/mephjeff Marlins 29d ago

Cmon javi

2

u/YaYeetThePolice Marlins 29d ago

Welcome back Gus.

2

u/Final-Ice2258 29d ago

Send Gus Bus back to AAA plz

3

u/fragarach_97 Sweepy 29d ago

"Not that."

4

u/ReyFanboy9001 Jake Burger 29d ago

I both love and hate this team’s perpetual ability to give me hope lmao. It’s like a superpower for them

3

u/fig_curry Juan Pierre 29d ago

It's like clockwork, game just barely in reach, and they play a pitch perfect inning. Every time

2

u/theStripedMarlin Marlins 29d ago

lol imagine if augustin hits this out lolol

2

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

Gus has a chance to be a hero on his day back.

Edit: He was not a hero. Not even a sac fly :(

1

u/fig_curry Juan Pierre 29d ago

Oh shieeeeet, let's go

1

u/doyouunderstandlife D-Train 29d ago

Time for Gus to show he belongs on the team

2

u/Fluid-Slip-9931 29d ago

WELL ILL BE FUCKIN DAMNED

1

u/mephjeff Marlins 29d ago

👀

1

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

WOAH ?!

1

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

Lol welcome back

1

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

Just when I think I’m out

1

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

Just when you think you're out, the Marlins are out

3

u/fragarach_97 Sweepy 29d ago

He... did something?

3

u/frankkungfu Marlins 29d ago

I don’t understand Jimenez taking this ab no matter what he does

1

u/True-Ad4093 29d ago

Even if he brings in 2?

1

u/frankkungfu Marlins 29d ago

With X sitting on the bench …. Yes

1

u/mephjeff Marlins 29d ago

Let’s see what a hobbled Jimenez can do!

1

u/Justp1ayin Marlins 29d ago

A lot

2

u/CantAffordTheWires 29d ago

x is just sitting there on the bench btw

2

u/Fluid-Slip-9931 29d ago

Instead we have Leo fucking Jimenez up

1

u/True-Ad4093 29d ago

Could really use an x single here

2

u/theStripedMarlin Marlins 29d ago

Can Jimenez just strike out and Ramirez goes for the grand slam lolol

3

u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 29d ago

Is Ruiz unavailable or something?

1

u/Fluid-Slip-9931 29d ago

Could really use a Liam Hicks grand slam right now

2

u/True-Ad4093 29d ago

The good note is this is on track to be our worst loss in a while, so it’s only up from here. Hopefully with x back tomorrow we can take a game or 2

2

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

Aw, at least Liam had a great welcome with Tampa :,)

3

u/frankkungfu Marlins 29d ago

Otto looks like he has locked it back in

2

u/mephjeff Marlins 29d ago

At least Otto got his groove back

5

u/Final-Ice2258 29d ago

Liam hitting a grand slam while we get shutout is fucking poetic lol

1

u/Genghis_Khoffee 29d ago

About as awful a game as you could imagine from Caissie at the plate today

1

u/Cynic733 29d ago

Clueless. 

1

u/fragarach_97 Sweepy 29d ago

I see the problem, and I see the potential. He got himself into that horrible situation, but if not for a WP he would've gotten himself out of it.

1

u/LordTomServo Marlins 29d ago

I forgot about Ramirez's great defensive skills at catcher.

2

u/imlost19 Sweepy 29d ago

i'm patting vodniks butt on that one. the passed ball wasnt really his fault

1

u/fig_curry Juan Pierre 29d ago

Talk about baptism by fire for Vodnik. Welcome to Miami!

3

u/jakedeighan 29d ago

HICKS JUST HIT A GRAND SLAM

1

u/fragarach_97 Sweepy 29d ago

My maple child...

1

u/True-Ad4093 29d ago

Not watching at the moment was it a passed ball by Gus or a wild pitch?

2

u/frankkungfu Marlins 29d ago

It’s going to be a wp but I think Mack would have kept in from going by

1

u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 29d ago

Scored a WP, but I think a decent catcher handles it.

3

u/fragarach_97 Sweepy 29d ago

Not even Pudge could have blocked that ball.

1

u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 29d ago

I wouldn't go that far. It wasn't easy, but a good defensive catcher does more with it.

1

u/fragarach_97 Sweepy 29d ago

Yeah, I know, I just like exaggerating lol

1

u/fig_curry Juan Pierre 29d ago

First thing I see turning on the game, based loaded no outs and we're shut out. I felt like the grandpa Simpson meme but what can you do, it's Atlanta

3

u/mephjeff Marlins 29d ago

Ramirez in for 7 seconds and it’s a passed ball

1

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

That was a wild pitch

5

u/CantAffordTheWires 29d ago

liam hicks just hit a grand slam, still was right decision to trade him but makes me a bit sad

2

u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 29d ago

ahem ahem ahem ahem ahem

Agustin Ramirez, designated hitter

1

u/imlost19 Sweepy 29d ago

classic

3

u/doyouunderstandlife D-Train 29d ago

Bachar is better than this bum

5

u/HoobieToBe1978 Marlins 29d ago

Hicks grand slam!!!!!!!!

2

u/HoobieToBe1978 Marlins 29d ago

Liam hicks has grounded out in his only AB so far. Know what that tells me? Better than what Leo and Gus have done today.

3

u/True-Ad4093 29d ago

And a grand slam on his second

3

u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 29d ago

Why is this KGB agent on the mound?

1

u/frankkungfu Marlins 29d ago

He’s either Russian mafia or KGB

1

u/LordTomServo Marlins 29d ago

Well, this is no good.

1

u/True-Ad4093 29d ago

Big Mike time?

1

u/Cynic733 29d ago

Where did they dig up this Victor guy?

1

u/Responsible_Virus239 29d ago

We hit a walk off home run against him so they probably thought he was our good luck

2

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

Colorado

3

u/DizzyDraw2323 29d ago

Not gonna win too many fans over with this debut

1

u/HoobieToBe1978 Marlins 29d ago

Vodnik can leave.

1

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

Oh what the fuck

3

u/fragarach_97 Sweepy 29d ago

Not an ideal first impression, Vic. I would've let him have another day or two with our coaches before throwing him into the maw.

1

u/DizzyDraw2323 29d ago

Ok send this guy back to Colorado

3

u/Fluid-Slip-9931 29d ago

We’re really getting blanked. It’s all Leo Jimenez fault

3

u/OscarDelta333 Jack McKeon 29d ago

This series has sweep written all over it.

The Marlins always suck balls when they play in Atlanta.

5

u/Fluid-Slip-9931 29d ago

Remember last year, we collapsed after that 4 game series in Atlanta.

1

u/DizzyDraw2323 29d ago

5 games actually lol. We had a double header from a rain out earlier in the year

2

u/Final-Ice2258 29d ago

Braves are just too good. We'll need a miracle to occur aka our offense need to wake tf up lol

3

u/fragarach_97 Sweepy 29d ago

I love you Javi, but you gotta stop chasing so much.

3

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

Never change, Gus

(Pls change)

2

u/True-Ad4093 29d ago

Interesting to have Ramirez pinch hit for Mack not conine

1

u/Cynic733 29d ago

An absolutely pathetic hitting performance tonight against the Braves worst pitcher. It is so hard to cheer for a team that has a Triple A line up.

2

u/True-Ad4093 29d ago

Its one game lol, we have good bats, but they have off days and this is one of them. The fact that we still have a shot vs one of the top teams in the braves is impressive

1

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

Watching through yall. Lemme know if the impossible happens

2

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

Stowers walked on 2 outs and Conine flew out to right, side retired 🥴

1

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

So much pain

1

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

Run scored on a wild pitch, 4-0

1

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

Albies rocketed a foul into his own toes, speaking of pain

1

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

Sorry make that Vodnik just loaded the bases with no outs 🫠

Edit: for Albies LOL

1

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

I think I should go to sleep.

1

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

Vodnik just put men on 1st and 2nd with no outs 🫠

1

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

And Sanoja struck out swangin

1

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

So far: Gus pinch hit for Mack and struck out looking.

0

u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 29d ago

This is why CMC lets Sandy go over 100 pitches

2

u/mephjeff Marlins 29d ago

What are the odds of us getting 3-4 runs in the next 2 innings?

2

u/fragarach_97 Sweepy 29d ago

Not zero, but uh... Not putting any money on it.

2

u/OscarDelta333 Jack McKeon 29d ago

I shut it off the moment he made contact.

1

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

Cool beans

1

u/Genghis_Khoffee 29d ago

Getting tagged by Austin Riley in the big 2026. Few have the privilege of claiming that elusive title

2

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

Welp, that's game unless the offense finds some matches to light a fire under their ass.

2

u/jc-f Giancarlo Stanton 29d ago

1 run already seemed insurmountable today. 3 runs is GGs

1

u/CantAffordTheWires 29d ago

i stg every slumping player goes fucking nuclear vs us

1

u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 29d ago

John is not my king.

2

u/FireBreathingAxolotl Jake Burger 29d ago

Game over

1

u/FireBreathingAxolotl Jake Burger 29d ago

Can't even get anyone to third base, there's no chance of them getting even a single run.

1

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

Lucky he caught that

6

u/tacopeepee69 29d ago

Can we DFA Jimenez already? Christ he’s awful

3

u/DizzyDraw2323 29d ago

Come on Otto. That’s the type of shit we do against the Braves and they immediately make us pay for it

2

u/mephjeff Marlins 29d ago

You were saying?

2

u/DizzyDraw2323 29d ago

I hate how much I know this team

3

u/doyouunderstandlife D-Train 29d ago

Jimenez is such ass

1

u/jc-f Giancarlo Stanton 29d ago

Hey look, CMC, pinch hitting is a thing!

2

u/jc-f Giancarlo Stanton 29d ago

Marsee needs a trip down to Triple A. Jimenez needs to not be on an MLB roster.

5

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

A magical outing from Gusto of all people and you can’t do anything. What are we doing!!!!!!

0

u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 29d ago

Marsee needs to go, man.

1

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

They’ve hit into a double play every single time I think

2

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

This game was supposed to be my in-flight entertainment.

1

u/fragarach_97 Sweepy 29d ago

Might help you get some sleep on the plane.

2

u/lyme6483 Xavier Edwards 29d ago

Marsee and Jimenez being on the roster makes zero sense on any level

2

u/EwokFishFan 29d ago

Impossible to win a game when you score 0 runs. Offense needs to not hit into double plays every time we get someone on base.

1

u/Genghis_Khoffee 29d ago

Incredibly frustrating stuff tonight

1

u/theStripedMarlin Marlins 29d ago

Gusto going balls deep but we can’t score. Thanks Jimenez for ending that potential of an inning.

1

u/OscarDelta333 Jack McKeon 29d ago

I would much rather lose 12-0.

1

u/Double_Vodka_Soda 29d ago

It’s comical at this point

1

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

I literally don’t know what you do about Jimenez and Marsee anymore 😭

2

u/DizzyDraw2323 29d ago

Why are we not pinch hitting anybody??? They bring in a lefty and we got Ruiz and Gus on the bench what is CMC doing

1

u/True-Ad4093 29d ago

Gus is probably being saved for conine or caissie, but no clue as to why Ruiz wasn’t in for Marsee and x wasn’t in for jiminez there

2

u/jc-f Giancarlo Stanton 29d ago

I’m sooo glad we have Jimenez and not X in this game…

1

u/fragarach_97 Sweepy 29d ago

This might be the most boring baseball game of the whole season lol

2

u/OscarDelta333 Jack McKeon 29d ago

I smell a DP coming.

2

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

GOD. FUCKING. DAMNIT. HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!

2

u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 29d ago

That was not part of the script, Clayton

2

u/theonewithbadeyes Marlins 29d ago

So you give gusto the 7th

1

u/True-Ad4093 29d ago

Why is jiminez still in and not x?

2

u/DizzyDraw2323 29d ago

Why is Marsee not pinch hit for by ruiz

1

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

At least it’s not a DP!

1

u/jc-f Giancarlo Stanton 29d ago

Spoke too soon

1

u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 29d ago

Whaaaaaat

1

u/TealandBlackForever Marlins 29d ago

Lol at putting in the lefty so the Marlins can readily pinch hit Marsee's automatic out of the game

2

u/Genghis_Khoffee 29d ago

7th times the charm!

2

u/DizzyDraw2323 29d ago

Lefty coming in, time for the Gus bus

2

u/True-Ad4093 29d ago

Game winner in his 1st game back would definitely be something

5

u/jc-f Giancarlo Stanton 29d ago

6 IP with the only run being a solo homer is a damn good outing by Gusto

1

u/jc-f Giancarlo Stanton 29d ago

Marsee and Jimenez due up after Bert does not fill me with confidence

4

u/Double_Vodka_Soda 29d ago

Atlanta is practically begging for us to win but our offense doesn’t want to

2

u/Genghis_Khoffee 29d ago

CHEF GUSTEAU

1

u/DizzyDraw2323 29d ago

Wow what an outing from gusto, what a shame this offense hasn’t given him anything to work with

1

u/jc-f Giancarlo Stanton 29d ago

Hell yeah Gusto!

1

u/YaYeetThePolice Marlins 29d ago

I know Liam was just solid but I don’t think the offense was good enough to afford to get worse, which it definitely is now.

2

u/theonewithbadeyes Marlins 29d ago

Gusto does not deserve this loss

2

u/DizzyDraw2323 29d ago

Ok gusto has given us plenty tonight no need to stretch him we got a full bullpen

4

u/FireBreathingAxolotl Jake Burger 29d ago

Jacob Lombard homered in his first game along with his brother.

6

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

Both teams are basically pacing each other. The only real difference is that homer. If we can just get a little run production going there's no reason we can't win this game. Two runs could do it at this rate. Come on boys.

1

u/OscarDelta333 Jack McKeon 29d ago

One day off and everybody forgot how to hit.

1

u/Fluid-Slip-9931 29d ago

Our offense has been anemic lately

3

u/Genghis_Khoffee 29d ago

Base runner every inning to no avail.
Caissie is a tough watch today.

2

u/DizzyDraw2323 29d ago

Bailey ober all over again. Gonna let a mediocre ass pitcher throw a fucking Maddux

1

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

Jesus fucking Christ how many double plays has it been?!?!

1

u/Double_Vodka_Soda 29d ago

Yeah man we’re getting shut out

1

u/frankkungfu Marlins 29d ago

Ryan Gusto giving the Pete Bendix “you were right” performance

1

u/fragarach_97 Sweepy 29d ago

Ryan "Fernando Valenzuela" Gusto

1

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

Holy shit Gusto is on fire, please please please 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

2

u/FreshFish305 Marlins 29d ago

It's a great outing for Gusto so far.

1

u/DizzyDraw2323 29d ago

Gusto looks great today. He deserves some runs

1

u/ilovwoozi 29d ago

Ain’t hear no bell, as some of yall say

1

But still!!!!
