A 2 run lead with a runner on base in this park is much more comfortable than it is at a place like Cincinnati. Preferably we get some insurance here, but if Viz comes in and puts a runner on, it doesn’t make me as nervous as it does in a smaller park

This Marlins team looks to me like a team that will lose 100 games or more this season. Derek Jeter destroyed that team by trading Giancarlo Stanton to his friends the Yankees.

The Braves lead the Marlins 8-5 in the 9th inning

 

[The Doddfather]

I agree, it’s hard to overcome trading away 4 all stars and losing Fernandez to the boating accident. Fredi González can’t seem to get away from rebuilds. Boom! There’s our insurance. Might see Viz anyway to get him some work tonight.

The Braves lead the Marlins 10-5 in the 9th inning on a two run Ender Enciarte homer

 

[THWG]

Ender is a hell of a player. I'm glad he's signed to a long term deal. Now we just need to wrap up Albies.

I think Fredi becomes interim Manager when Don Mattingly is fired later on in the season as Manager of the Marlins

I'm a big fan of Mattingly. I don't think that he gets the credit that he deserves.

I had this discussion with someone the other day. I feel good about us locking up albies and acuna. Surely Liberty media will pony up and keep these franchise players, which is what I think both of them will be. The past few 5 years or so are starting to pay off and I love it. This team is exciting to watch again.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

The Braves win 10-5 over the Marlins. The winning pitcher for the Braves is AJ Minter 1-0 and the losing pitcher for the Marlins is Drew Steckenrider 1-3. The Braves are 23-15 and lead the NL East by 1 game over the Phillies.

I'm glad Brian Snitker is turning things aroundI was wanting Joe Girardi to manage the Braves if Snitker got canned.

 

[The Doddfather]

Snit is the right guy at the right time imo. Been around the franchise forever and has been around young guys in the minors. Even tho he’s not a young guy, he seems to relate to the team and has pulled all the right strings so far. I loved Bobby, but he had great players. Fredi was in the Bobby mold and it didn’t work because the payers weren’t the same caliber. Snit has a team now that can run, play small ball, and play for the big inning and he has managed it well.

As a side note, I’m glad soroka didn’t take the L tonight. Tough for him to have to leave the game when he did, but it’ll be a good learning experience in the long run. Without the error, he probably goes 6 tonight and is in line for the win.

Yeah the Braves need to be patient with Siroka like they were with Tom Glavine in the late 1980s.
