My 10 wants are: 1B 3B LF CF DH SP MR MR CL MGR Get the band back together. Sign Ozuna, Trade For Stanton, Hire Donnie Beisbol, Drag the corpses of AJ Ramos and Cischek into the bullpen and throw a cool hundo at Miguel Rojas to be the clubhouse policeman. That'll get us to 88 wins.

Curious if Sherman group isnt cooking the numbers again like the loria days? Did the park seem like it was more full this year? I only went to a Mets Marlin game in May but it wont help me gauge things. Take the massive hit attendance number wise in 2018 and slowly build it back up to look like its real gate number but still fugazzi, fugaaaayzi, whatseeee whoootsy.

Because you need to know what to tell the Judge for the restraining order.

Welp, it was fun having hope while it lasted. This fucking team man.

I feel like it's proven, if they trade from the MLB Roster it's going to be a loss value wise. If they trade from the Minors its a win win for both sides or a lose lose. Why is Bendix so willing to trade from a ML roster when he can trade from the Minors and fill in a few gaps around the edges. You've all said it, we should have Kept Mesa, Luzardo, Hicks and Rodgers. Those moves alone buy us maybe 2 or 3 more wins over the course of a season and we'd be in the middle of the playoff race instead of just outside fighting to get in.

Don't worry, neither do we.

Just gotta say, this aint the place to say we want an instant winner. Some of us have been here since 2006 lol. I don't want an instant winner, I just want consistency and a modicum of hope. I've probably posted more this year then the last 5 years combined. WHAT I really want instantly is for Sherman to sell lol. If he sells to Cuban (Mark) it'll put butts in the seats. ;)

Their hands are tied, if they don't pick up the option it ruins any remaining goodwill they have with the moves they've made. If they pick it up they are overpaying. When you underpay everyone else, you can take the flyer that he turns it around and either becomes the ace again or great trade bait. Watching the Pete Alonso love affair in Queens, IDK how Sterns or Cohen can show their face in the Iron Triangle after the year he's had, the longevity (Hasn't missed a game in 3 years) and the way the fan base loved him.

Can't believe its come to this.

This is literally the "Oh No We Suck Again Game. " Ron Darling on the SNY telecast calling this the Christopher Morel Game. Fuck him too.

Looks like The Athletic had the same idea. https://links.e1.nytimes.com/a/sc/o9WEpeqAj4ERyfMMHPCbMoQWgX4t31a-W16E1XOYiYLkonaKt0pCI6ghYsvIHBDYqm-J6dqKqKvpYyKazfczpgwJ629lzKC_a4EgodgRd-8-exqaulH-gnggB7Ol2GlXRAH9grIXimJEXIRhX58-RBJ7nJMA9Su3bHKP6dg53XkmZkjMGnbf8RImTZ_IicWHqBzAsJPNGBNWmIVV57q9ptDN0TZ7Anzhlfhink6_JKcBlE9RO7FxXN-PtbcfrG0cFj2l2oRz8zpOXS-0_fZpSQjycGo-6R_RR_uVt5uY7LDQNFjPL_5ZDmfmpVWwYMQJHf-TYQ9yaWIwpQf565IMeJ5qigz28ko4j_o03GCumiLevjlwkILptGjQznqlvTDxDWp6aWP-OdT0tvpYiDQYXzpR6si9sx859yYw_E48XeWFyeP14XysirgJT62ofBH2icSS/Tgfe26JC90u5z5GStaNbh2UPqiV6NBqi/24

A lot of you despise Loria, but don’t nessesarilg realize how good we had it compared to other teams. Rank these former owners from first to last. Loria Marlins wilpons Mets Marge Schott Reds Fox Corp - Dodgers McCourts- dodgerd Moreno- Angels Pollad- Twins Bronfman-Expos John fisher-Oakland / Sac/ Vegas A’s (current) Seidler - Padres Monfriet? Rockies Peter Angelos - Orioles Jerry Reinsdorf - Current white Sox I’ll abstain for now, curious- though. I feel like Loria is in the top 3 from that group when everything is said and done between an early WS, a Stadium, and developing star players for other teams.

Hanley was offloaded because he was an ass that talked out both sides of his mouth, was upset he was moved to 3B even tho they asked him, and stopped trying (just like after he jogged after a kicked ball into LF and blamed his manager). Hanley didn’t want to be here, let it be known and pulled a Manny to try to go back to the Red Sox. The Marlins traded him because he was a malcontent and a clubhouse cancer, not because they were cheap. It didn’t hurt that the 2012 team sucked, Bell killed any momentum we had- and Gaby/ Lomo really regressed. They tried one last time trading for Lee and then just blew it up. But Hanley, he was a real POS. Apartamento .348 shoulda been condemned because that mofo was a slumlord.

You’re right. I relent. I bow the knee. Let’s break bread at Winn Dixie.

Impossible, “Squirmy Shermie” only authorized Great Value Brand Bran Flakes for the budget. Someone’s head will roll for this indiscretion. The Traveling Secretary is about to lose his assistant.

Neither, its because he was Cuban. But looking back for evidence I just realized the Marlins would always fudge the attendance numbers by selling $1 seats to the community foundation or something. I was going off my own experience of how the ballpark felt and was more alive for a Fernandez start (even 1999's Fernandez) then say a Adam Conley start. Using Alcantara as an example we see spikes vs others pitching the same day (Sunday vs Sunday) but then it could be excused by opponent. Needless to say, your just going to have to go by your own experiences. Nolasco, Mitre, Sanchez, Johnson and whoever never really moved the needle for casual fans. Willis did but thats when he went on a massive run, facing the Randy Johnsons and Tom Glavines. JJ did the same when he faced other teams studs. Fernandez, Fernandez and Hernandez made the place feel more full at the very least. Maybe someone else can chime in here.

Jesus, just got a 20 years in badge. What the hell have I done with my life and when the fuck did we get ice cream?

It's proven successful in this market, for a SP atleast. Puts asses in seats.

A marquee draw would do it. A name, and a pitcher with some Latin ties like Felix or Johan. Sandy was that man but injuries ruined that. Remember how loud the park used to get for Jose’s starts? Get that every fifth day and fans will start coming on off days because it’s fun. What a setback that was.

I believe it, I do too. He would have went all in this season, and in the 2020 season. Heck, he might have done it in 2024(?) too. John Henry wasn’t a bad owner, he inherited a bad deal. Huizinga signed deals as the Marlins with his own cable company, parking authority, vendors, stadium and seats. No one should have agreed to buy the team from him, and no owner would have thrived unless they were cohen, balmer or bezos. Manfred really offered Jeter and Sherman a bump and both took their pants down in the handicap stall for it. They all saddled their significant others (us) with herpes after it.

Hopefully this valuation gets Sherman what he wants to get the fuck outta here

We almost traded Jose to Arizona for Corbin, Drury and Pollack I believe. Ultimately Loria vetoed it.

Not bullshit, Jose died and he lost his love for owning the team. It's been reported many times. He loved Stanton and Stanton was respectful. He wouldn't have moved him unless Stanton wanted out or opted out (it was 5 years in a player opt out I think). Stanton had a full no trade clause, I believe the only one the Marlins ever gave out. Stanton wasn't going anywhere unless he said so. Loria, for how cheap he was- wouldn't have agreed to that if the hope was he could trade his oft-injured OF (NO DH at the time) when the contact became expensive.

Don't be surprised, Liam Hicks wasn't arbitration eligible until 2028 and we still moved him. Nevermind the pitchers too.
