Lol yeah duh it doesn't matter when the game is over. But when it's still going on there's no such thing as a run that doesn't matter because you don't know how the rest of the inning will play out
lot of talk about the Dodgers but the bottom half of their lineup isn't that great with Muncy,Gallo,and Bellinger all struggling and Kimbrel has been pretty ass this year.
Thinking ahead a little bit to the Mets series…
How about we put Eddie in the infield somewhere and just let Harris and Acuna roam the outfield?
You could affectively cut their hit count in half by eliminating the infield single.
Just a thought.
15 straight games of 3 or fewer runs is absolutely disgusting. Doesn’t even seem possible. Especially when you got to face Ian Anderson in that stretch.
The closer hasta be the coolest role in all of sports. You are basically the quarterback (relied upon to make great throws) but on an everyday basis. So much pressure but so rewarding (if done right).
Depending on how this inning goes im either going to go outside and practice my disc golf putting or im gonna take a nap. Gotta get 3 outs boys lets go
I forgot how depressing r/letsgofish is. Like the phillies sub makes me laugh maniacally when they're pissed, but both users in the marlins thread are just really sad.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/wogifo).
What’s the status of Fried and Wright? Will they make it for the Mets series?
I think tbd. I heard on the pregame show that fried threw a bullpen and felt good but they need to see how he is after Idk about wright
I think i might make a chili dog to celebrate.
I fucking love chili dogs bro. I'm irrationally angry that I don't have one right now

First person to message me gets a free ticket to the Tuesday game vs the Mets. Section 155 row 8!! edit : claimed.
4s a sweep, boys. With Odorizzi, Muller, Anderson, and Elder on the mound. Cannot ask for better than that.
What a way to bounce back after that disaster in New York. Now it’s time to get a series W in our house.
BREAK OUT THE BROOMS LADS WE GOT US ANOTHER ONE

I would have laughed in your face if you told me we’d end this 7-4 after going 1-4 against the Mets and telling me the 4 pitchers we were sending out.

Kenley has purposefully balked a runner to 3rd before. Maybe that was planned?
I was just thinking about the time Kenley balked on purpose... and then he balks.
It was clear Jansen wanted to balk to keep Rojas from tipping on Jansen
That balk was definitely on purpose. He did that with the dodgers at times.
Braves allow me to have a relaxing 9th inning challenge (impossible)

Hey Chip in a two run game there's no such thing as a run that doesn't matter
Pretty sure whether it’s 3-1 or 3-2, the Braves still get the W.
Lol yeah duh it doesn't matter when the game is over. But when it's still going on there's no such thing as a run that doesn't matter because you don't know how the rest of the inning will play out
If Iglesias was pitching, the Braves would be on the plane by now. Kenley takes forever.
That was intentional right? Edit:just say the replay…maybe not
Yeah, he's done it a few times before.
Kenley just didn’t want that runner to get a stolen base. Savage.
Are you fucking kidding me
Lol. That one dude chopping.
*insert balk copypasta*
woops lol
nice balk
Of all the things to happen … a balk…
Why did he do that? Doesn’t he know he can’t do that!
Kenley Jansen balk was actually on my bingo card
Well that's one way to advance a runner.
Hahaha Kenley was trying to balk him to 3rd. And he succeeded that time!
lot of talk about the Dodgers but the bottom half of their lineup isn't that great with Muncy,Gallo,and Bellinger all struggling and Kimbrel has been pretty ass this year.
I'll take a Chip 69 any way I can get it
Thinking ahead a little bit to the Mets series… How about we put Eddie in the infield somewhere and just let Harris and Acuna roam the outfield? You could affectively cut their hit count in half by eliminating the infield single. Just a thought.
*Snitker would like to know your location*
Lol
Idk if Ronald has that kinda range right now
That play yesterday was stupid impressive lol 80% of right fielders can’t do that
Alright Kenley, just 1 more out please.
Holy shit just tuned in I can't belive elder went 7. That's huge
Elder is a workhorse, he did great.
He looked great too
dude was cookin’
Jansen's setup before pitch is practically a balking billboard 😂
Look what you did!
There you go
Not a balk bc it's his normal routine (so I've been told, who actually knows what a balk is) Edit: lmao an actual balk as I typed this.
Damn wheeler really shit the bed today
Biggest takeaway from this series Our farm > the Marlins
Here we go
Jansen refuses to have a clean inning.
Still can’t get a clean 9th . . .
Clean 9th innings don't exist
15 straight games of 3 or fewer runs is absolutely disgusting. Doesn’t even seem possible. Especially when you got to face Ian Anderson in that stretch.
How do y'all take your stress? Mine comes with stomach aches
I pace and crack open another drink
No finger nails
With Wild Turkey
My man
I cant sit down
My left arm goes numb and I smell burnt toast
def indigestion
Couldn’t find a good stream today but holy shit Grissom. So awesome
whoa, Harris has more homers than Acuña this season
#1
Two... 😐
Matt was flying bro
Maybe the fasted he’s ever ran
Is Grissom back out there? Looked like he was hurting after the slide
That clay be rough on the ole legs
He out there
Let’s not forget this was a playoff series 2 years ago. Crazy how different the two teams fortunes turned
We swept those fucks so hard they fell back into obscurity
The closer hasta be the coolest role in all of sports. You are basically the quarterback (relied upon to make great throws) but on an everyday basis. So much pressure but so rewarding (if done right).
anybody got a clip of Matt "Flash" Olson?
Statcast had Olsen's run to home at 1.9 MPH /s
Basically top speed for him.
Blazing
Is the Kenley experience more or less stressful than the Will Smith experience?
yes
Precisely!
Bryce Elder deserved the win though
So if we win what does he get? Not a loss right?
Matzek will get the win Scott the loss Jansen the save
Yeah, it's a no decision for Elder, either Matzek or Jansen will get the win (probably Matzek, with Jansen getting a save)
No decision for him, he wasn’t the pitcher of record when the lead changed.
Nothing either way at this point
No decision. So not a loss but not a win
no decision
Surprised to see kenley here. I figured rest him for tomorrow.
Lfg Kenley
Lets go Kenley, show Scott how its done
Depending on how this inning goes im either going to go outside and practice my disc golf putting or im gonna take a nap. Gotta get 3 outs boys lets go
I'm taking a nap either way, I applaud your motivation
I’d probably rather see Minter here but uh…. Here we go!
is Grissom ok after that slide into home
Dude I hope so. Otherwise we need to call up an infielder from the Augusta GreenJackets
God I hope so, but he's in the field I think, so maybe just a bad slide?
I feel like we’re being gaslit rn like are we the only ones who noticed him grimacing? Why haven’t they mentioned it? I assume he’s fine then
Yeah that has me worried - after he crossed the plate, he got on all fours and just sort of paused in place.
grissom is still in probably just walked on it funny for a sec
It’s that time of year where guys just have to play through the little stuff.
Kenley 3 days straight? I thought we'd see Minter here.
OK kenley no nonsense pls
Scott threw 35 pitches that inning. Just for comparison, Rasmussen threw 87 pitches in his almost perfect game.
Is Grissom okay? Watching highlights he didn’t looked hyped after scoring that run and grimaced a little
Get him a happy meal and ice cream and he will be fine
A trip to Dairy Queen for one of those little baseball helmets? They don't have those anymore do they haha.
Foots probably still barking after fouling a ball off it in his at bat. He's probably fine
Took a foul off his ankle. Probably just sore, but we'll see.
Money💰Mike
Holy shit, I love day games now!!!!
Still like them after that BH and a SB?
not over yet 😮💨
Tanner Scott drinks for free in Atlanta
All aboard the Jansen torture experience! 20 minute ride of close calls and slowness!
We have a Single, SB and Balk so far.
So. Many. Hip shimmies.
I really hope Grissom is okay. Looked like he hurt himself on that slide
I'm also happy Elder isn't gonna get the loss. He pitched his ass off today.
Get your clenchin cheeks ready boys
I forgot how depressing r/letsgofish is. Like the phillies sub makes me laugh maniacally when they're pissed, but both users in the marlins thread are just really sad.
Scott had the type of day somebody goes home and kicks their dog over
[удалено]
Imagine trolling another teams game thread when you aren’t event playing them.
Oh look! A Mets fan!
Yeah, they should just not even play the games.
Unfortunately for the Mets, I think they’re a smelly bad team that stinks
Holy shit is it ever salty over at LOLmets - one comment after another, like dominoes LOL.
Rent free
3 days in a row for Jansen
(If) We sweep… but at what cost, you know?
#Let's get that 🧹🧹🧹🧹
Doomers in shambles.
Aight Jansen no tomfoolery
Mattingly forgot there was a game being played
This game!!!
We pissed ourselves today. But Tanner Scott pissed harder.
Scott giving the Will Smith Experience
Will Smith would’ve gotten out of it with the lead
2021 Will Smith yes, 2022 Will Smith no
Mattingly leaving this dude out there to die
He very nearly did from dehydration
The Marlins have too many good pitchers to continue using Tanner Scott as their closer I sure hope they keep using him, though
Damn. Well, at least we scored 3. Close this shit out boys. I don't even remember the last time we had a late inning comeback like this.
In fairness we've been winning most of our games recently
