    You can laugh now, but......
    The Fish are going to steal this division.



    National League
    EAST W L PCT GB HOME ROAD RS RA DIFF STRK L10 POFF
    Atlanta 17 13 0.567 - 6-Sep 7-Aug 99 90 9 Lost 6 6-Apr 0

    Miami 16 15 0.516 1.5 14-5 10-Feb 149 125 24 Won 1 4-Jun 0


    Miami has enough starting pitching, the Cuban Missile Jose Fernandez is a Cy Young contender, is automatic at home, Eovaldi is a legit #2 guy, Koehler's across the board numbers are solid, and Alveraz is an innnings eater.

    Look at these numbers, I mean look twice, how good has this front three been so far?
    19 starts, 15 of them quality starts. Astounding WH/IP's and ERA's

    NAME GP GS QS W L IP H ER HR BB SO K/9 WAR WHIP ERA
    Jose Fernandez 7 7 5 4 1 46.2 30 9 2 12 65 12.54 1.5 0.9 1.74
    Nate Eovaldi 6 6 5 2 1 38.1 34 11 1 5 35 8.22 0.9 1.02 2.58
    Tom Koehler 6 6 5 3 2 37.1 26 10 3 16 24 5.79 1.4 1.13 2.41

    Cishek the closer has six saves, been lights out 13 out of 16 appearances, is not an elite closer, but is reliable and dependable, more than a K an inning ratio, 2.25 ERA and a 1.14 WH/IP
    Rock solid.

    Miami Offense

    5th in the majors in runs scored
    3rd in the majors in batting average.
    4th in the majors in on base percentage
    3rd in the majors in slugging percentage.

    Where are the holes? There are no holes.
    They got power with Ozuna and Stanton and Jones and Satly.
    They got speed with Yelich, they all get on base.............


    NAME GP AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI TB BB SO SB BA OBP SLG OPS
    Giancarlo Stanton 31 123 22 35 9 0 10 36 74 15 41 2 0.285 0.362 0.602 0.964
    Christian Yelich 29 120 20 34 5 3 2 10 51 12 30 4 0.283 0.348 0.425 0.773
    Casey McGehee 31 118 9 36 9 1 0 20 47 13 24 0 0.305 0.371 0.398 0.770
    Marcell Ozuna 30 118 16 33 5 0 5 19 53 9 25 0 0.28 0.328 0.449 0.777
    Adeiny Hechavarria 31 114 17 34 7 3 0 8 47 9 20 1 0.298 0.349 0.412 0.761
    Garrett Jones 29 111 14 30 6 0 5 15 51 11 35 0 0.270 0.331 0.459 0.790
    Jarrod Saltalamacchia 29 89 18 27 6 0 6 11 51 17 29 0 0.303 0.411 0.573 0.984

    Met's aren't winning anything, Braves are flawed, Clown boy Harper is out, Stras is so overrated it's not funny, Zimmerman the third baseman is out, Nats can be had, and the Phillies core players are like 1000 years old.

    I am on record, right here, right now, saying Miami is going to steal the NL East.

        I thought this division was over and now Atlanta looks like they are done

        Every year goes by and more and more you don't need High price players to win

            And they go about their business real quiet, Stanton isn't all about him, even though his homers destroy inaimate objects, they believe they can win, and they do win.

            The 'x' factor is Casey McGhee, he can both rake, and pick it.
            Cubs thought he was crap, had two very solid years with Milwaukee, bad third year, they dump him.......

              Typically, if you get dumped by the Cubs, that typically catapults your career.

                  no chance in hell..dumbest thread ever. 2nd half marlins will be losing 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 4 of EVERY series they play.

                    Maybe , if the Marlins played every game at Miami but this team sucks roosters on the road. They have a .309 team batting average at home but a horrendous .215 average on the road.

                    You need to win near .500 of your games on the road to win a division and the Marlins will end up at least 30 games under .500 away from Miami......sorry Nash but they are not winning the division.

                      Agree that they need to start winning on the road to prove themselves.

                      That's definitely a dogshit division, though. 87-75 might win it.

                        ya i dont see them winning the division, but much better than last year. so definitely a team to keep an eye on. should have more +ev cashes than most teams this season, is my prediction for them.

                          0% chance of this happening.

                          And the Marlins are basically my 2nd favorite team.

                          Fun to watch, Fernandez wins CY Young this year.
                          Stanton needs a bat in front or behind him, he has neither.

                          They can't do shit on the road, and their offense, although raking at home, fails to show up away from Miami.

                          I'm rooting for them, they have some great young talent like they always seem to come up with over the years, but still at least a year away and a couple of veteran signings to help out.

                            Great post Nash. Gotta love baseball. It could happen.

                            Then in 2015, they'll dump every star player...

                              knew their pitching was solid but I am very surprised by their offensive production. Atlanta definitely has issues and their pitching will even out, they might not even make playoffs. Hoping Mets are at least in it until the All Star break. With all that being said its still the Nationals division to lose. They should be able to win it.

                                  how's that trade to the Jays offseason last year looking now? some of the pieces, swapping shortstops hechavarria and reyes. Reyes has been injured for most games and hechavarria is hitting near .300 (and I assume has been a stud on defense as well). Henderson alvarez pitched a no hitter last year. and he's had a few more dominating starts. Josh johnson doesn't even pitch for the jays any more. bonifacio is hitting +300 for the cubs.

                                  I've discounted the marlins early this year and paid for it. but now they definitely have my respect

                                          I know, that may hurt them, I have said this several times in the past.
                                          Mathis has a 30 percent CS ratio, which isn't that bad.
                                          SD is dangling Nick Hundley to any team, but his arm ain't Johnny Bench, or even close either.

                                          You can't get good defensive catchers, today they are all hybrid 1B/3B/DH types like V-Mart, or Santana, or Mauer....
                                          And the ones that play stellar defense and call good games with rifles like Molina, not the fat one in Toronto, are locked up

                                            Everything is over after one month of baseball. Lets go to playoffs now.
                                            Hey shit for brains.
                                            I said they could steal the divison.

                                                Mathis has a 30 percent CS ratio, which isn't that bad.
                                                SD is dangling Nick Hundley to any team, but his arm ain't Johnny Bench, or even close either.

                                                You can't get good defensive catchers, today they are all hybrid 1B/3B/DH types like V-Mart, or Santana, or Mauer....
                                                And the ones that play stellar defense and call good games with rifles like Molina, not the fat one in Toronto, are locked up
                                                id rather have hundley....guy I really like is Clevenger from Baltimore.hes buried behind wieters but can hit and play defense

                                                    Niese v. Eovaldi tonight, two sound pitchers.
                                                    I want the Mets to show me something tonight if they are to be taken seriously.

                                                    Niese can steal this one

                                                      Today was first day I looked at mlb standing in a week. I heard braves have lost six in a row and had to see what the NL east looked like. Amazing all five teams within 1.5 games of each other

                                                        classic overreaction. Look at their starting rotation last year and tell me how many of them logged in a season's worth of innings pitched. Second half of the season likely won't be so hot for the Marlins.

                                                                  I am on record, right here, right now, saying Miami is going to steal the NL East.
