Dafty, take your time here deciding! Off to work soon! Know you probably want to wait till you have Wednesday breakfast with your silent partner to decide if it's right!

Mr.Monkey, how about a 2 week ban bet that the Marlins don't finish in last place in 2014?

This is my 2 week ban bet proposition.

It's basically a yes or no. No biggie.

 

[FairWarning]

Dem Marlins could finish 3rd in 2014.

In case anyone's keeping score here, this guy is still crushing the ball.

Jose Fernandez has given up one fly ball in his last 16 innings. Had 12 K's tonight so far. That's kinda neat.

 

[FairWarning]

Good time to trade him before he asks for more than $500K.

 

[Tron]

LOL

You realize they were paying Nolasco $11 million this year, right?

I totally get that the Marlins FO is the worst but there's close to 0% chance they trade him before Free Agency.

Fernandez first pitcher with back-to-back games of 13+ K since Randy Johnson in 2004. First rookie since Kerry Wood.

His FIP tonight was -0.08 (it's 2.80 for the season).

:bowdown

nah he has to make 500k for another year before he can even try for arbitration.

he is 4 years away from his BIG pay day though

Will the Braves lose again this season?

 

[Archie]

Puig did put on quite a show in Chicago

 

[Tron]

Yup. No doubt.

14 straight road wins for the Blue Boys. That's pretty badass.

Won't matter until the playoffs start! As good as their positional lineup is, something tells me lack of scoring runs in the playoffs will doom them! Starting pitching will be OK and the BP is real top notch!

Looking back on how the NL East was predicted to fare, I give Braves B+, Marlins B, Mets C, Phillies D, and Nats D-!

Saulty, no hate there, JMO! I see a big KK order that possibly won't hit enough small ball against good pitching in a long series! Easily they could win it all also!
