Marlins, they haven’t lost in the post season.

Braves, easily

Another post season rematch for the Fish as they beat Atlanta in the 1997 NLCS to advance to the WS. Every particle in my brain tells me the Braves should take this series & fairly easily. They have dominated Miami over the past several years. But despite the few lopsided Braves wins this season, the Marlins actually took 4 games from them this year. Sandy, Sixto & Pablo will have to be on top of their games. The Marlins are now 7-0 in post season series & I will not be picking against them until they lose one.

Marlins in 5.

No way Miami should win. Atlanta is the superior team, head-to-head record shows this season (Sept 9 ATL beat the Fish 29-9!)

Braves have soon-to-be MVP.


Marlins have never lost a playoff series.

As a Braves diehard, I know we're better but that doesn't normally matter. The Marlins lineup doesn't scare me. None of them. But they're pesky.

The season series was won 6-4 by Atlanta.

But if you take out the two lopsided losses by the Fish (29-9 & 11-1), the season series was even, and Miami would have outscored Atlanta 34 to 28.

I hate this logic. Yes, let’s just subtract certain games so we can arrive at a different result.

I don't like that run differential is so highly looked upon by some people.
Does it really count the same in a 29 to 9 game when a position player pitches for Miami and gives up runs?

I don't like the Run differentials stat either, because, like it or not, there are times when players do quit on games and just want to get the game over with and start fresh next game.

You said if you take away two massive blowouts then their season series was tied 4 wins a piece. That’s just stupid. Decrease the run differential if you want but don’t take away the wins. And either way, the wins and losses what they are. Sometimes you lose big and sometimes you lose small. In the end it’s still a loss.

You're right, I shouldn't have taken away the two wins. But the large difference in the run differential total leads to the belief that the series is a huge mismatch.

Again, hope I’m wrong but until the Fish lose a series, ya can’t bet against them. Fish in 5.

The Marlins have had an amazing run but it ends here.

Braves in 1 let's go

Fish! 4-1 lead after top 3

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Former Braves manager Ted Turner cardboard sighting.

 

[darko]

Marlins are 28-0 this season when leading after 6.

 

[Halladay]

Marlins are 28-0 this season when leading after 6.

Well about that, they now have some work to do.

Imagine getting Alcantara for two seasons of Ozuna... Gallen was part of that trade, too.
