hovertical replied to rmc523's topic in Miami Marlins
yet the actual guys who played for the Marlins in the Spring are back in the minors again lol -
I've discussed with a few of you privately - but I do believe this is literally the worst offseason/season combo to date in their history. Sure, there have been seasons where they (likely) lose more games but at least it was to be expected. That, combined with doing NOTHING in the offseason after making the postseason in a full 162 game year is indefensible. Whatever dribble comes out of Bendix' mouth is a lie. Whatever Sherman says to a reporter, etc. is a lie. He has done NOTHING as an owner, absolutely NOTHING. We've seen him quoted as saying "his wallet is open to anyone Ng and Bendix feel like would make the club better" but unless those two are the biggest idiots on earth (and I don't believe they are) it's a fucking lie. There's nothing in the wallet except Bruce's debit card to withdraw cash out of this team, his personal ATM. MLB owners also have nobody but themselves to blame for allowing this clown into their midst. I don't feel bad for any of them whining about revenue sharing because they got what they deserve by not putting up a bigger fight when the sale was being reviewed for approval by MLB. But circling back, I do feel like this has been the worst season to date. Sure, the first season of the new park was a massive letdown but at least that offseason was really fun and we felt like we were fans of a real team (albeit with Met-like results) for a change. And yeah, there were firesale seasons but the talent they got back was actually good typically in the big firesale seasons and not some fringy 28yr old or guy who hasn't played baseball in 2 years, or Bruce's favorite player, CASH CONSIDERATIONS. Two weeks into the season and 8 under .500 LOL with an absolutely putrid bullpen, rotation, and lame duck manager. Go ahead and sell it to us Daddy Dix. I ain't buying. And let's not forget about those fonts! 😉
-
MLB had a chance to get it right and get Mas in there as owner for this abused fanbase but nope we got their glory boy in a play pretend exec role and now we're stuck with Bruce for another 10 years at least most likely.
-
Especially with their font choices
-
They finally win and you complain about a font????
-
Yeah a controlled guy is worth even more
-
It's really just a hallmark of continued shit ownership from Loria to Sherman that there is seemingly turmoil every few seasons and entire new coaching staffs get rolled in. Just helps feed the ol' constantly rebuilding mantra and thus keeps costs down.
-
Although didn't Kapler win it a year or two before? But yeah, Bendix has accelerated his scorched earth policy. I 💯 believe Lizard, Arraez, Burger, and maybe even Scott (if he starts pitching well again) will all be gone by the deadline or sooner. Can't wait to see the rest of the Rays castoffs coming in.
-
I'm sure they are aware how many games the pen has blown already
-
I'm sure there's a handshake agreement in place
-
Why would you want to stick with a manager of the year?
-
If he wants to improve his odds of winning a game then he better
-
My wife said the same thing when she met me!

Marlins Drop Ninth Straight Despite Strong Pitching
hovertical commented on Admin's blog entry in Official
I honestly don't know how you brought yourself to even write up this blurb about them. Everything around this team makes me want to vomit. Mostly, I just wanted to say I read your blog! -
I remember they beat the Dodgers (I think? Unless im confusing teams from their inaugural game) and scored something dumb like 11 runs and I was like "oh wow, they might actually still be good!" Nope.

Oh, well, if they're basing their research on a whole years worth of data from the 2023 season I guess we're all safe and they may as well lower the clock to 10 seconds.
