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

Funny how he brags about being a season ticket holder yet I'm pretty sure I'm at the ballpark more times than him every year and I'm not a season ticket holder. 

 

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.

On the marlins ticket site it specifically says that it's for two strips.

 

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.

Yeah thats crazy. I'm guessing that's for an individual game? Or is that if you buy all six games?

definitely phelps an injury risk so that's one huge + of him in the pen.

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.

Thank you so much!

I was at the game Monday and have wanted to watch it especially to hear Rich's commentary on it and I can't bring myself to do it. It's all still feeling like a blur to me.

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.

You forgot Andino

 

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.

the marlins hitters (especially stanton and prado) should take hitting lessons from crawford

Steckenrider time?

Have they said who starts Wednesday? I'm assuming they go with Koehler and then Thursday skips Rea's spot so that it's Cashner Conley Jose against the Rockies and you leave the fifth starter spot until next Tuesday to either bring someone up, pick up someone, or stretch out Phelps.

So the Padres insist Rea was healthy Friday and that the Marlins did see his medical records and that they were clean... but they said they did the trade back because it was "in the best interests of everyone involved", which sounds kinda fishy... but the Padres mlb.com reporter says the Padres never wanted to trade Rea because of his five years of club control so he implies they did the trade back to get back the guy they never wanted to trade to begin with. So, while the Marlins have reason to want compensation for Rea's immediate injury, it sounds like the Padres did this to absolutely win the overall trade. They dump Cashner for a huge return and don't even have to lose the one guy they didn't wanna trade to begin with. It's like they spent big bucks to get something and then immediately get a rebate! Hey Mike Hill...fuck off.

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.

The old adage of things work themselves out will come into play this weekend. Dietrich struggling, Bour still out, Dee returning. We shall see

8/1? You mean 7/31.

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.

They're offering the 61% discount on the day Dee Gordon comes back

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.

Yeah I'll take first and second 1 out over man on 3rd 2 outs every time.

Again, fundamental baseball. Teams do it to the Marlins all the time.
