  1. Fair point. Maybe that should go into the decision making process. What’s a better deal for the company? A tacky logo or no logo? Not all companies are color dependent. Some are. Emirates Airlines have sponsorships all over Europe and they appear in a variety of colors. So they would have more options. also Motorola adopted the padres color scheme for their ad and it looks fine.
  2. At least the colors sort of match. Cincinnati has a blue Kroger patch. Seems like they should have sponsors agree to a color scheme that fits with the uniform
  3. Boca Raton based. Used to be a subsidiary of Tyco
  4. Whenever someone poses the “who do you think of…” question with the original Marlin logo my mind goes to Chuck Carr
  5. Front yard somewhere in the grid to the north of the stadium. Easy access to Dolphin and off you go
  6. According to Nostradamus post on Twitter back in 2019 the Fish are closing in on another title in five years
  7. Attendance is a frustrating topic. There are so many inputs that drive the figure. So to pin it down to one guy is a stretch.
  8. Here is the list of home games that Alcantara started. The first one is opening day, so I excluded that from the average seeing as that they could have started anyone for the home opener and drawn roughly the same number of fans that day. So on average he was worth an additional 700 fans per game. For 16 home starts that is 11,200 tickets for the season. That stretch of games in the summer did see a big uptick in attendance for his games. The drop off came August 3, a weekday when school was coming back into session. The two weekend starts after that point in the schedule showed bigger numbers like you'd expect.
  9. I also found that notable. Poor Wichita. They build that new stadium expecting AAA baseball and without hosting a single game they get bumped down.
  10. https://ballparkdigest.com/2020/11/02/details-of-mlb-takeover-of-milb-emerge/ Marlins look like big winners in all this if the details in here are accurate. AAA in Jax. AA in Pensacola plus all the Jupiter operations (Low A Spring Training and development league). The geography breaking Miami’s way for once
  11. Sorry if this was already discussed but what is the point of opening the outfield sliding doors? It’s 100 degrees outside, the turf is fake, and there’s no fans to “impress” with this feature.
  12. It is totally weird. I think with Stanton though it’s not so much that they’re rooting against him as much as it is that they’re feeling validation. When his salary was dumped it was an opportunity to move a massive future liability off the books coming off a record year for him. A lot of people thought he’d struggle to repeat that and stay healthy. He was excellent in year one with the Yankees but the last two have been plagued by injury. Imagine the frustration if he was taking up Marlins payroll all that time. So I think it’s more relief than it is an “in your face” to him personally.
  13. Pretty cool to look at the NL East standings in August and see the marlins sitting second place
