“…nobody thought we would, and that’s what we liked the most.  We love that nobody thinks we’re supposed to be here. That fuels us even more. If you think about how it fuels the players, you should think about how it fuels our manager and coaching staff. That fuels them to a T. I feel like it just makes us go more.. and no team likes the lights more than the Marlins, I can tell you that… Arraez loves the lights, Soler loves the lights, and you’re dang sure I love the lights. That’s what we live for and we can’t wait to get this started… no Thursday.”

Good call!

Chisholm Jr. finished the series 0-8 with four strikeouts. Dogged it to first base in Game 1 and squared up to bunt down one with two outs and nobody on 2nd or 3rd. Guy wasn’t even close to being ready for the bright lights. Oh yeah, Arraez and Soler combined for two hits in two nights.

On to Atlanta. We’d like to thank the Marlins for participating in the postseason.
