If the Marlins have any pride whatsoever, they will play this Wednesday matinee like it's Game 7 of the World Series to avoid an utterly embarrassing home sweep (not like any fans will be there to see it; SL has more Discord followers than may attend this whole series). Or at least play like it's The Bad News Bears Go to Japan, which may well be the worst movie ever made. I never thought I would say in 2025 that the Rockies are in a letdown spot but they are as it's also the end of their longest trip of the season. I'm thinking some South Beach was in order late Tuesday night with the team ending a streak of 22 straight series losses.
