GDT: 2020 NLDS: (2) Atlanta Braves vs (6) Miami Marlins - ATL wins 3-0

[Canes]

over. this Marlin offense ain't scoring 4 runs.

They've owned Kyle Wright before today so I wouldn't be so sure.

 

[Halladay]

Wright gets out of it without allowing a run.

 

[Canes]

Wright's biggest problem is allowing way too many baserunners but glad he got out of the jam there.

 

[Canes]

Acuna has unreal wheels. One of the last guys you want to allow extra bases due to an error.

Duvall finally gets on the board. Just missed a homer.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Next year's rotation of Soroka, Fried, Anderson, Wright, FA Vet

Yes, Please!!

 

[John Price]

Didn't expect Braves to look this dominant

First potential NLCS for the Braves since 96

It's been a LONG time

It has been 2001.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

It has been 2001.

Heck...it's been 2001 since the Braves have won a series at all

 

[EpochLink]

Marlins about to lose their first playoff series in history...

 

[Canes]

Maddux-Glavine-Smoltz who?

Amazing performance by the most unlikely group so far. Dodgers/Padres will be a huge test though.

 

[c9777666]

The Braves have been on quite a roll since escaping those bases loaded jams vs Cincy

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Braves didn't even break a sweat.

Miami had a solid season and this playoff experience will do them well. I'm still iffy if they could hold up for 162 without some upgrades.

 

[SSF]

Soroka wont be ready for most of next year given when he got injured this year.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

This is not the Loria regime anymore. If they trade players it will be because they are not in contention, not just for the fun of it.(just like any other team not in contention does) Jeter has a solid plan and will run the team accordingly.

Damn I missed this reply.

I seem to recall the new ownership immediately trading all 3 of their starting and power-hitting outfielders in one offseason. And you’re telling me you already have belief in this new regime? What I’m saying is don’t be surprised if there was another fire-sale in the near future.

Yes, but the organization was a hot mess and they had to dump those salaries in order to rebuild the farm system. Now of course I cannot 100% etch in stone that another fire sale is out of the question, but unlike the prior regimes, it would be with a specific baseball reason in mind, not just for the heck of it.

I’m rooting for it not to happen. Miami fans deserve better. I can’t imagine losing all of your starting outfield with power in just one offseason. Not to mention that one of them was coming off an MVP year and and another one became an MVP in the upcoming season. A major punch in the guts for the Marlins fan base. MLB being popular in Miami is a good thing.
