Marlins are fucking garbage, they're lost something like 17 of their last 21. This team just tries to disappoint me I swear.

Our record is so frustrating considering how much better we could be if we didnt have the unclutchest bullpen in baseball. We lost three games when the other team was down to their last out, those are the most heartbreaking losses. Usually they happen once a year max, this year we've already had three! We also lost like six games that we were leading entering the ninth

I swear half of our losses is because of our shitty ass bullpen, which Don Fuckingly for some reason has a hard-on and so much faith for. Things the Marlins need to do to improve for 2018: - Better bullpen pitching - Better starting pitching - More assertive managing style - Managing with common sense, seriously. Don Shittingly sometimes has zero common sense. Stop taking pitchers that are performing well in the 5th/6th inning for our shitty ass bullpen! At least let them go 7 innings if they're pitching very well - STOP RELYING ON THE FUCKING BULLPEN SO MUCH, FOR FUCKS SAKE. |

What's a bullpen doing?  |

A bullpen is who comes into pitch after the starting pitchers either A.) Fucks up or B.) Is tired/threw too many pitches. Very important part of a team.

Would you be a good baseball player? Pacy and strong and all that  |

Would you be a good baseball player? Pacy and strong and all that Baseball is much more than just physical attributes. Which is why baseball players peak so late (late 20s-early 30s). Ichiro who is one of the greatest hitters ever was skinny af, while Babe Ruth was very fat and out of shape especially by the late-1920s |

I used to be quite good, I had a lot of skill hitting. I was good at hitting the ball the other way and with power too, rarely struck out also and walked a lot. I was decent defensively, had average range but had quite a good arm. Unfortunately, I became a fat, lazy, slob towards my late high school years and gave up on it. When I was around 19/20 I started getting in shape again and started playing again, but more for fun than anything.

No.56 for Giancarlo today, Judge gets his 45th. Both are four homeruns away from making history. Nice to see Judge finally end his slump, that thing was ugly

Last night's game in Toronto was entertaining. I saw the "hidden ball trick" for the first time. Sneaky Canadians  (though I'm guessing there are some American players on the Blue Jays). Some really impressive catches by Jose Batista. I appreciate good baseball even if it's by the opposing team. Yankees lost 8-1. |

We had really bad BABIP luck the entire Blue Jays series Judge hit number 50 today! Crazy! He joins a little-known company of some guys named Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, and Alex Rodriguez as the only Yankees to hit 50 homeruns. Doesn't mean much, those guys were a bunch of scrubs A-Rod had 54 in 2007, maybe Judge can match it. I doubt it since only 6 games left, but when Judge is hot, he does things you would've thought were impossible. Him and Stanton are just so far above everyone else when it comes to raw power. |

I can't believe baseball season is almost over. This year went by ridiculously fast.
Another year, another disappointment. They beat the Rockies today 5-4 but yesterday they lost their 82nd game which guarantees a losing season. And like 20 of those losses are probably due to our PIECE OF SHIT bullpen. Absolutely embarrassing how bad our bullpen is. It's sad because if the Marlins just had an average bullpen instead of one with a bunch of fucking retards, a healthy Bour all year and an average rotation, we could probably be a 90+ win team. This year is just an annual disappointment. And here comes the fire sale I bet in the off-season.
On the subject of Judge and Stanton, those dudes are ridiculous. I've seen dudes like Manny Ramirez, Gary Sheffield, Sammy Sosa, etc who hit lots of line drive home runs, but Judge and Stanton literally hit bullets at 115+ mph that don't go more than 10-20 feet above the ground and somehow make it out of the ballpark. Fucking incredible how hard they hit some baseballs. They also hit the farthest opposite field home runs I've ever seen too.

This has been a pretty exciting year with Judge coming into the spotlight. We've got another legend on our hands. Alex, I'm kind of upset baseball season is coming to an end. At least basketball will be starting soon, but I don't really have a team to root for since the Nets left NJ.  Fuck Brooklyn lol |

Aaron Judge finishes September with: 15 HR, 32 RBI, .311/.463/.889
.889 slugging, Jesus. That's ridiculous

^ He's a beast. I think Stanton slugged something like .950 in August lol. Disappointed he didn't end up with 60 HR but who the fuck am I kidding, 59 HRs is ridiculously impressive. He also hit 53 HRs in 130 games since he changed his batting stance/approach in May, which comes out to about 66 HR per 162, so it's not like he won't get another shot at 60 in the next several years. Btw, did you guys watch the Wild Card games? Both were quite epic, but the Colorado/Arizona one was a classic! |

I also believe Judge will have a serious shot at 60, even 70 in the next few years. Him and Stanton are just so ridiculous.

The NYY MIN game was great! Didn't expect us to come back so quickly. The Twins have to be cursing the baseball gods for matching them up with the Yankees year after year after year. Yankee Stadium has been a house of horrors for them
I do think Judge can reach 60 homers in the future. I hope he can end up with the same career Stanton has had

Missed the wild card games! Ugh.
I had trouble finding the Yankees game on TV for tonight. It's on FS1 (Fox Sports 1).
