But his name is still Jace

as a fat dude, let me say this...an elephant never forgets

Unfortunately we all know that isn't going to happen and he'll be moved before that for a large quantity of A and AA projects guys with theoretical high upside. And that's my optimistic take.

Do they get rings for winning in the minors?

Man, they should have acquired someone at the deadline to help this "good team" I guess

so we go the induction range and it's like literal black magic. you can boil water on it in like 20-30 seconds it's the wildest thing i've ever seen. the other bizarre thing is that when you're done cooking you can touch the surface within a minute or so and it won't burn your hand. there's no actual heating element so it's just the heat energy from the pan you were using that warmed the surface. anyway they're pretty sick

I also like how it's a "good team" but yet again, we add nothing to push us to being consistently good or great. How many years and how many owners has it been now where we're seemingly a couple players away from turning the good streaks into consistency and our shitty owners - Bruce by FAR being the cheapest - just absolutely refusing to acquire anything and just continually pushing the "let's wait and hope our prospects all magically hit at once - just give it x more years!" and then guys get older and the team is still either shitty, a fringy playoff team, or too old/expensive and it's right back to "well, time to rebuild!" Bendix literally saying he knows this is a good team and doing NOTHING to help it at the deadline is literally admitting they don't care if this team is ever playing meaningful baseball in October and beyond.

we still don't have a blue chip hyped prospect in our minors that people are clamoring to debut. It feels like they just keep trying to acquire quantity over quality. Guys in A ball are never going to excite me much either as that's not a good comp for MLB. the difference between AA and AAA is more negligible and there's a healthy number of prospects that go from AA to MLB instead of stopping in AAA first so those are slightly better comps. Still, once again, the Marlins are a team in need of quality above replacement level MLBers and once again, an owner who will do shit all to sign those via FA when the time comes. 3 years ago "trust the process!" today "trust the process!" 3 years from now "trust the process!" 6 years from now "damn, guys got too expensive, time to retool. trust the process!"

But don't you know these prospects will be great in our middle of the road farm

Sherman is 💯 not invested in this team winning. He just wants to take in his free rev sharing money and just turn over the team to keep it cheap AF while duping people into buying into the whole "the future will be bright" nonsense and kicking the can down the road again and again. Ya'll know dis yo

same here. it makes me feel scummy to side with owners but the Doyers have ruined it for nearly every MLB fan at this juncture and let's not pretend they won't keep doing it. And everyone can f*ck right off if they're going to hype up "doing it the right way" for other "lesser fortunate" teams because LA spends ludicrous amounts of money in that area as well (probably more than every other team I'll bet).

do you REALLY think he gives a flying f*ck what anyone thinks of him?

Another reason I'm glad I peaced out on baseball these last couple of years. I'm sure it's a blast being a Doyers fan your whole life and then getting to experience this but it's really fucking annoying for fans of literally every other team. Godspeed to LA and their billion dollar payroll I guess

Hang the banner!

But we'll have the bestest and cheapest mid-range farm system in baseball!
