  1. Should have only been 1 run, if Jacobs was not playing first base on that one play.
  2. dang marlins only have 1 guy. now they can win the WS this year, right?
  3. Hermida was in left, but i know what you meant.
  4. "Ross has serviceable power, but isn?t an impact player with the glove or the bat. " Probably your biggest mistake.
  5. He will probably come out to Firemen again. But who knows, I hope they can put together an exciting video for when he comes in or something other then just music.
  6. Hopefully putting on so much weight in one off season doesn't result in the same way it did for Jeff Francoeur last season.
  7. a great article and a great read for those matt lindstrom fan club members!
  8. Ani changes his number to 19! The new Mr. Marlin? No you tell him to change his number until it annoys the sh*t out of him. If the Marlins dont want to retire 19 for Conine, us fans can try to make sure no player wears it. If we constantly tell him to change it, he eventually will.
  9. Does Cody drop another Bomb on Cuban Cow Bell night?
  10. Who knows what would of happened in SF if Jacobs wasnt on first.
  11. we are talking about Dunn. dont matter where he is playing, when he usually hits one, it usually would go out at any stadium. plus we might actually get to see a ball reach the right field upper deck.
  12. The only one of them I see a chance in a Marlins uniform would be Griffey. For the fact that many other teams dont want him, and if one does, its probably from a team that has no chance of winning next year. We can possible sway him for lower money on different things. Letting him know our OF depth situation and knowing that if our rookie CF Maybin does not work out, he will get lots of playing time. If he does produce at a high level for us, let him know we arent afraid to trade Hermida or someone. Doesnt he live in Tampa, he might want to play close to home. He is at the end of his career, the pressure for him to prove he still can play would not be so great playing in an empty park. I doubt with all the money he has made in the past he really doesnt need a huge contract. Convince him that we have a chance at going all the way this year, and if we are out of the race by the deadline, the Marlins would do there best to trade him to a team in contention.
  13. I wish they would start Reyes over Hanley, that way the USA has a better chance of winning it all.
  14. What lists would you like, buddy? I can READ just fine, thank you. Apparently you cant. Because he has stated many times we dont know which pitchers have been asked to join and which pitchers have turned down the invitation. But, the facts we do know, are the ones that were invited and accepted to be on the team, and Lindstrom was one of them.
  15. You know what would be great. If the championship game came down to USA vs DR. Pujols is up with bases loaded in the 8th in a one run game, they bring in Lindstrom and he strikes him out. I had to say the 8th, before all you haters turned this into a, do you really think Lindstrom will be pitching the 9th, maybe i shouldnt even use the 8th. So for all you haters, just think its in extra innings and all the other pitchers you may have already used are out of the game. Not saying this will happen, dont even know if its even possible for both of these teams to meet in the championship game. But just saying, how nice would it be.
  16. Does anyone really think Matt Lindstrom will make this team with the other relievers on the roster? It's unlikely... My guess is, as long as he doesnt get hurt or anything to that extent before they trim the roster down, he will still be playing for them.
  17. Let me try to explain the Helms signing since everyone thinks is bad. The contract he signed with the Phillies he had a club option of 3.75M in 2009 or a 0.75M buyout. So they had 2 options pay him 3.75M for one year, or give him 0.75M and let him go. They signed him for 2 years for 1.9M, 0.95M per year. So if they didnt rework the deal, they would have spent 0.75M for nothing. So look at it as they signed him for .575M for the next 2 years. Add if you dont want to see it that way, then we only paid him $1 to play for us last year.
  18. Here is a fact, Lindstrom is on the team. And the guys you keep naming are starting pitchers that decline, no way would a team let there ace mess up his throwing routine before the season to pitch as a reliever. Sure the 4 guys you have named might have been more deserving if you look at numbers, but who says they looked at numbers, hell they might have all been asked and they declined. Be happy for a guy that is willing to play for his country.
  19. They are making a team, not selecting guys who have had the best lines. Didnt seem to work last WBC for the USA, so they are filling spots with guys that are team players and guys who wont cry if they dont get what they want. Lindstrom is very happy that he is going, and those are the guys the team is looking for. For all you fans, that think he doesnt deserve it, dont know nothing. All you guys are looking at his stats and comparing them with others, when there is alot more involved then just that. Just be happy for a guy from our team was selected to play for our country.
  20. The only thing I would change is the ticket prices. I'd make them more in line with the payroll and charge a flat $20 bucks a ticket ... and then let fans sit wherever they want ... first come, first serve. Why would you want that, now you pay for the cheapest ticket and sit wherever you want. I would work around the subject of "Young Guns" for the Marlins because the pitching staff is certainly among the youngest in all of baseball and the offense is explosive. And then maybe they can get a sponorship with Gillette right? I might also lift the qualifications of the team dancers to 40 triple D and label them the South Beach Guns, while losing the Manatees forever. The Manatees are much better then the Mermaids, why would you want to get ride of them? Finally, I'd have to say that the Marlins advertising campaigns the last couple of years have been the worst I've ever seen. I agree, and they also need to get away from the whole spanish thing, they tried it and it didnt work.
