The past three games were a painful reality check for the Miami Marlins. Although still far away from being mathematically eliminated from NL Wild Card contention, they tumbled to six games back of the rival Philadelphia Phillies. AJ Ramos, Kevin Barral and Isaac Azout discuss the factors that contributed most to the sweep, continued awesome stretches for Eury Pérez and Griffin Conine and Triple-A players who are most deserving of promotions once the roster expands on September 1. Plus, AJ describes what it was like to be a player during the previous MLB lockout in the 2021-22 offseason.
