The Miami Marlins are in the middle of a playoff competition this pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

And they are getting a global spotlight in what can be considered one of their biggest games of the season.

Monday 1:10 p.m., the game against the Atlanta Braves, the first of a three-game series in Atlanta and the first of seven Marlins road games against the top team in the Eastern National League in the three final weeks of the season, is the first of four “MLB Live YouTube Game of the Week” taking place during the final game of the regular season.

The broadcast is free and can be viewed on the MLB YouTube channel.

The other three games that will air on the MLB YouTube channel in the final month of the season are Milwaukee Brewers and Detroit Tigers Wednesday (1 p.m.), Kansas City Royals and Brewers on September 18 and Cincinnati Reds and Minnesota Twins on September 25. September (8:00 p.m.).The Marlins-Braves game was chosen to be the first YouTube game this year for several reasons, according to Tim Katz, head of sports and journalism partnerships at YouTube.

The first was logistical. The game’s start time at 1:10 p.m. on the East Coast is ripe for global consumption and offers more viewing possibilities. This is magnified in the United States given Labor Day.

The second was the opportunity. Katz noted that the Marlins and Braves are “so loaded with young talent” that it could be an opportunity to attract younger fans to watch.

The Marlins have nine key contributors on their active 28-man roster aged 27 or under, including starting pitchers Sandy Alcantara, Sixto Sanchez, Pablo Lopez and Trevor Rogers; Pitcher Alex Vesia; wide receiver Jorge Alfaro; interiors Brian Anderson, Jazz Chisholm and Lewin Diaz; and outfielder Lewis Brinson

For the Braves, their best young players include

22-year-old winger Ronald Acuna Jr., 26-year-old shortstop Dansby Swanson; Max Fried, Cy Young’s 26-year-old contestant; 22-year-old starting pitcher Ian Anderson, the club’s potential No.3 from Monday against Marlins’ Jose Urena; and Austin Riley, a 23-year-old intern.

“With most of our fans younger than you would historically see,” Katz said, “it’s becoming a really interesting mix between talent and club players, as well as what our user base looks like.”

That the series has playoff implications also helps.

The Marlins (17-18) start four and a half games behind the Braves (24-16) on Monday for first place in the NL East and one and a half behind the Philadelphia Phillies (19-17) for second place in the division. As part of the expanded playoff format in effect for the 2020 season, the top two teams from each division as well as the two remaining teams with the best record make the playoffs.

“The Marlins are very serious contenders for the playoffs,” said Scott Braun of MLB Network, a University of Miami alumnus who will serve as play-by-play announcer for Monday’s game. “Even for some of the teams that are in the middle of this year in terms of standings – I’m talking about teams like Baltimore and Detroit because they have been competitive and are close to the .500 lineup; Toronto is also a prime example: in a normal season when you don’t have an extended playoffs, it’s a lot harder to be competitive in September. There are young players who are on the verge of having a playoff chase and then potentially even a. post-season when you might not necessarily expect it for these clubs which normally could take another year. ”

HOW WILL THE DISTRIBUTION BE?

This is the second year that YouTube and MLB have teamed up to broadcast regular season games. YouTube broadcast 13 games last season and averaged around 1.2 million viewers per game, according to Katz.

Braun will be joined on the show by Kevin Millar and John Smoltz, both of whom will be analysts. Millar spent the first five years of his league career with the Florida Marlins (1998-2002). Eight-time All-Star pitcher Smoltz has spent most of his MLB career with the Braves and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015.

The trio will work remotely, with Braun and Smoltz working at the MLB Network studio in New Jersey (socially remote, of course) and Millar, based in Texas.

The most efficient stock to date this year is electric car maker Tesla (TSLA). Traders sent the stock to new highs due to deliveries that held up fairly well and GAAP earnings likely led to the inclusion of the S&P 500.

Oddly, there is one factor related to Tesla that is not currently increasing .

, which could help fuel the rally even more if the latest development continues. In early July, Tesla presented an honest second quarter production and supply report. However, the avenues’ ratings were so ridiculously low that everyone looked like it was a huge explosion. The low bar continued in the earnings report, the point where Tesla’s earnings were well above common path, although anyone who took my protection knew how fast it was probably. Tesla has only missed revenue estimates 3 times since Q3 2016, and the only major failure was in Q1 2019,

when Tesla had a unique impact on revenue from a reverse charge.

For Tesla to reach its supply reserve of 500,000 units for the year, it needs a very robust semester. As I mentioned in a previous article, an average ramp would involve around 142,000 cars delivered this quarter, after which 178,000 this fall. This would be quarterly data for the company and some would lead to the top 2 revenue impressions in Tesla’s historic past. With that said, check out the graph below, which highlights a historical past of Q3 2020 analyst earnings expectations.

I don’t I’m not going to do too much with the numbers for 2016 and 2017, as many years have passed and they will have been influenced by a low variety of estimates. At the end of 2018, however, the co-analyst stood at over $ 9 billion for third quarter 2020 revenue. Six months ago, at the start of February 2020, the joint third quarter amounted to to $ 8.36 billion, up at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Twice the quarterly income later broke, and since then the joint Q3 has fallen by about $ 200 million. Sure, there was a big drop and then a rebound, but we still saw the municipality drop by $ 100 million last month.

Based primarily on the avenue’s current estimates and some

private projections for the quarter, the current common revenue involves just over 122,000 deliveries for the third quarter. This will make it extremely difficult to achieve the company’s annual government, and it can also be quite disappointing when Tesla has the power to supply well over 150,000 cars per quarter at this level. As in the previous quarter, the road obviously poses a rather low limit. However, there is another major problem here that I haven’t heard from any analysts these days, and that is the weakest dollar in the United States. So far in the third quarter, the dollar has taken a huge hit against many key currencies. In the chart below, you can see the greenback closed so far in the third quarter versus the common close throughout the second quarter in opposition to three key currencies.

In the second quarter, the common close of the greenback in euros was slightly above 1.10. If you assume that Tesla sells an automobile for $ 50,000, that works out to approximately US $ 55,062 {Dollars}. With the municipality shutting down in the third quarter, which is forecast to be around 1.18 at that level, that means around $ 59,000.

Which means Tesla will have a nice breeze for common promotion costs throughout the quarter.

However, it also means that if you regularly keep the estimate of the common avenue, each check mark in the common promotion price assumption means a decrease in the supply quantity. For every $ 1,000 increase that I make to my common promotion price determined for the third quarter, that means the estimated supply on the common avenue decreases by about 2,100 cars. While Tesla’s stock is currently in balance in the week, analysts at the avenue are not increasing their numbers at a steady pace. In fact, the common estimate of income has declined over the past month, and when combined with a much lower US dollar, that means the common estimate of supply goes down a bit. If this development were to continue by September, it will organize

The Diamondbacks arrived at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday, still grappling with the ramifications and excitement of selling their club’s trading deadline the day before. Their front office decided that their season was likely a lost cause. Players are still hoping to prove otherwise.

With their 14-21 record, their playoffs odds a tick below 7%, and four veteran players taken off the roster – center-back Starling Marte, closest Archie Bradley and lefties Robbie Ray and Andrew Chafin – the Diamondbacks have tried to go into the last 25 games of their season with the same attitude as before.

Our focus is always the same

Diamondback short film Nick Ahmed said. “We’re not putting in the towel. Nobody is doing that.”

Defeats to Bradley,

Ray and Chafin left the club with even less connection to their last team in the playoffs. Only five players – Ahmed, Jake Lamb, Ketel Marte, Christian Walker and David Peralta – remain from the squad that won 93 games and the 2017 wild card game. The biggest names on this list, including Paul Goldschmidt , Zack Greinke, AJ Pollock and Patrick Corbin are long gone.

“I think everyone is trying to sail today because we got rid of some guys who as you know have been in the D-Backs for a long time,” said right fielder Kole Calhoun. “It’s definitely different going out on the pitch today.”

There were few questions about the message GM Mike

Hazen and his front office sent to the team with his moves on Monday. For a while on Tuesday afternoon there was confusion over the interpretation of Hazen’s real words.

In a 40-minute post-deadline session with reporters on Monday afternoon,

Hazen made it clear that he believes the club’s poor performance so far this season has forced him to focus on the ‘to come up. He took responsibility for the unfolding of the season, appearing disappointed and upset by the situation. But he wasn’t willing to sell reporters a view of his sold-out club making its playoff debut.

“The hope for these next 25 matches is that we are going to play as hard as possible and challenge anything we can challenge,” Hazen said. “Now my expectations of what that might mean for wins and losses should match what I just did on the roster. But there will be no expectation (of variation) in the way we play baseball. ”

However, the last sentences of an email sent Monday night to team pass holders and signed by Hazen gave a different impression, suggesting that the team had already moved on in 2020.

“We started this season with all the expectations to make it to the playoffs, so today is really disappointing,” the letter read. “But we are well positioned to continue to improve in the offseason and field a team in 2021 that compete hard every day and make you proud.”

The contents of the letter were communicated to Ahmed in a phone call with reporters on Tuesday afternoon. Ahmed’s first reaction was anger.

“It’s infuriating,” Ahmed said.

“I hope Mike stops making comments like this. Nobody puts in the towel. No one is saying that we are abandoning the season. As a player, that pisses me off, great. ”

Apparently the letter was not from Hazen but was drafted by the club’s communications department, who attempted to condense Hazen’s lengthy comments from Monday into a short email. A spokesperson for the team took responsibility for the wording, adding that the air had been cleared with Ahmed and Calhoun, who were also asked about the email.

“One thing I know for sure is that Mike never, ever, ever talked about cashing in or losing and moving on,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. “It’s not in his DNA.”

Lovullo compared the wave of exchanges to the end of a romantic relationship

He said he hadn’t touched another person for five or six months, but on Monday he made an exception by giving Bradley and Mars hugs.

After two consecutive years of TSM’s absence at the World Cup, they are making their comeback, making their ascent through the losing round of the 2020 League Championship Series summer playoffs, beating Cloud9 in four games. TSM fell into the bottom bracket after a landslide loss to the Golden Guardians in their first series. Cloud9 received a playoff farewell based on his regular season standings, but lost the first series to FlyQuest.
The series was relatively one-sided, with TSM having strong control over each of his wins, and Cloud9 only earned one victory for himself. Cloud9’s Missing Worlds come as a shock to LCS fans, having had the most dominant LCS season in history last spring, followed by a 9-0 in this Split’s first round robin. summer. However, a recent meltdown left them with a 4-5 second half in the division, and their playoff performances never quite matched their previous level of dominance. This is the first time that Cloud9 has lost Worlds since the creation of his organization in 2013.

TSM looked volatile in their rematch against the Golden Guardians.

but it escalated the entire time, pushing them back to keep their chances alive. They finished their bottom bracket race with a strong victory over Cloud9, leading them on a trip to the World Cup next month. TSM will continue to fight for the rankings, facing the outsiders of Team Liquid and FlyQuest. The winner of this match will then have a chance to get the first seed, facing the winner between Liquid and FlyQuest to finalize the LCS Summer Split.
