NL East smack talk

[Clayton]

Marlins playing good baseball.

If they make the playoffs, some rich guy from every other teams city needs to sit in the front row in a jersey that is not the Marlins.

The Marlins are raking right now. I wish they had a little more power as a team overall, but a team .272 average is the 2nd best in baseball. If Gordon replaced Hechavarria at SS, there'd be no holes 1-8 in the lineup.

They really need to trade for a good MOR guy, though.

They also need to not face any good pitching staffs

Time for Papelbum to lose his job already

 

[navamind]

Can't imagine he has much of a choke hold on the closer position at this point.

Miami going all in on this season

 

[BigFin]

For maybe an above average SP, that's a steep price for a 60-game rental . That's what, 12 starts? Yeesh.

Kemp to Atlanta for Olivera. Why not just release Olivera? Kemp's contract is one of the worst in MLB.

kemp for 3 years @31.6 mil not great but better than what they have in the OF

• acquired by Atlanta in trade from San Diego 7/29/16, with Padres paying $10.5M of $72M remaining on Kemp’s contract (Braves add $61.5M due Kemp while shedding $29.9M due Hector Olivera for a net overall payroll increase of $31.6M)

padres save money

• acquired by San Diego in trade from Atlanta 7/29/16, with Padres paying Braves $10.5M (Padres reduce overall payroll $31.6M in adding $29.9M due Olivera and shedding $61.5M due Matt Kemp)

Colin Rea leaves the game the day after he gets traded. He did have a nice few innings vs STL before the injury, though. 15-day DL.

Miami splits the 4-gamer with the big-hitting Cardinals, including a 11-0 curb-stomping Saturday and a walk-off hit today.

Inciarte: 1.1 WAR in 317 PA
Markakis: 0.7 WAR in 445 PA
Mallex Smith: 0.6 WAR in 192 PA
Francoeur: 0.1 WAR in 249 PA

Kemp: 0.4 WAR in 431 PA

he's been league average offensively (save for 2014) for the vast majority of the last 3.5 years. and that's not factoring in his Adam Dunn-esque defense and diminished speed.

 

[The Q]

Giancarlo Stanton's effort in RF last night was lacking. Especially in the 8th inning and on Crawford's triple.

You really think he could've thrown out or held Crawford?

He could've caught that blooper in the 8th on a basic slide and catch. He short hopped it.

he turned Crawford's double into a triple with a less than lackadaisical approach. But at least that one didn't cost them.

Bruh the mets are about to get swept at home vs the Diamondbacks?

This was supposed to be a easy 9 game stretch for the Mets (6 vs ARI & 3 vs SD) for them to pick up some series wins and possibly go 6-3/7-2.

 

[thedddd]

I read the Marlins were internally discussing Arod. Now does anyone else find that funny to imagine Barry Bonds and Arod on the same bench. They could discuss who has the biggest head and smallest nuts.
