The Marlins want nothing to do with this. But, have to go through with it.

I can tell you he was nowhere to be seen at Marlins Park after the all star break. He's not a Marlins fan. He's a self promoter. Season ticket holders will be very happy if he doesn't renew.

That's right. The $1,374 ($687 per strip) and $1,524 ($762 per strip) both look correct for two strips. I've got 4 for $3,408 in Home Plate Box ($852 per strip). Whatever you see on the website is the total for however many tickets you have.

I don't think the $75 is correct. The home plate plate box seats down low that are $54 for Marlins games are only $35 per game for WBC if you buy all six games. Very reasonable and that's why it's almost sold out.

Is this the end for Urena? I count 12 pitchers without him. Can't see them going with 13.

Make sure you watch the post game as well. That was just as emotional. There is a 6 minute video out there. I'll try to find it.

As painful as it is, it's worth watching. I was at the game as well and there are certain things you will see on the telecast that you might have missed being there.

Incredible.

There we go. I knew I was forgetting someone. That's the answer.

I don't see how we have a spot for Gomez now that Scruggs was called up. Scruggs will take the spot of the extra pitcher we've been carrying. To have room for Gomez before rosters expand, we'd have to get rid of Mathis, Rojas, CJ, Dietrich or Ichiro. CJ is the only possibility. But, I don't see it happening for a guy with 100 strikeouts in 295 at bats this year.

Yeah. Prado hitting 50 points higher than Crawford and needs lessons from him. Ok.

Steckenrider time?

I was wondering the same thing. Do you save Jose for Monday at home against the Giants and allow him to avoid Coors Field? You would then need Phelps or whoever the 5th starter is for Sunday.

Amazing some of the stuff that gets said on here. We get possibly our best pitching prospect back for a guy that likely won't pitch again until 2018, and has a career ERA of almost 5, and we got the worst of the deal? I look at it as we got less screwed.

Curious whether there was a clause in the contract that triggered this if Marlins were concerned about injury risk. Or whether Padres are doing this before MLB steps in if they knew he was damaged goods. Castillo is a major prospect. To get him back is big. Could be flipped again or could be in the rotation in the next couple of years.

The way he's been pitching I'm wondering if Steckenrider is the next to go. 14 hits allowed this year in 40 innings, and 56 strikeouts. Jupiter, Jax, NO.

Like most of us on here who are real fans, we are interested in a good team for the long term, not just one year. I was pretty upset with the deal, especially with Capps added. But, as I sit back and look at this, it all comes down to whether ownership is ready to open up the pocketbook. If we pay Jose, Ozuna, JT, Prado etc when their contracts are up, and keep this core together, this is a playoff caliber team for many years. If we start unloading them because we can't pay them, then we have nothing to replenish with in the minors and we are back to a multi year rebuilding.

Regardless of what the rankings say, I think Castillo and Paddack were the Marlins top 2 pitching prospects. Paddack is gone and now everyone wants Castillo. And, nobody talks about the good moves the Marlins have made. They got Castillo and Kendry Flores for Casey McGehee.

Is he eligible to come back Thursday or Friday? It's about a 50/50 split in all the articles I've read. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

He means 8/1

Meanwhile, Chris Paddack with 5 innings, 2 hits, no runs and 9 strikeouts tonight. But, I know, it's only A ball and he's years away.

And Ichiro could very well be right around 3000

I wonder if this strange move has to do with remaining minor league options. This is basically a 7 game replacement. If they were to bring up Scruggs they would have to DFA him when Bour comes back and would likely lose him to another club. I'm not sure about Tellis. I'm guessing he still has some minor league options left. Kelly will also have to be DFA, but, I doubt he would be claimed nor would the Marlins care if he was.

There we're no outs. He wouldn't have been bunting with one out. The idea was to get Ichiro to third with one out. Fly ball and you have the lead. Realmuto missed two bunts and then was obviously swinging away with 2 strikes. He walked. No damage done. Even more reason to bunt with Prado up there and double play possibility. Again, fundamental baseball. Teams do it to the Marlins all the time.
