Pretty scathing Barry Jackson article on Sherman

Well.. a lot of Sports fans have a ton of optimism.. especially at the beginning of the season which causes them to temporarily ignore logical thinking.

Somehow in some people’s minds it kind of feels like a clean slate from the previous year and all teams will start with an 0-0 record so hypothetically speaking there is always a chance that any team has the possibility to have an amazing, even surprising season and shock everyone and make the playoffs unexpectedly. Usually after like a month or so reality will settle in and fans will begin to lower their expectations when they realize that their team will definitely not make the playoffs. I think last year it was on the day the Marlins traded Arraez and they had a 9-24 record. Probably a lot of people were deep down inside thinking “yep.. another losing season.”

But you know.. even though lately I have been making a lot of posts here with my predictions of 100+ loss season which I think is an actual realistic possibility seeing all the factors in place.

I still for a minute might feel a little bit of that crazy optimism on opening day. The same optimism I used to have back in the 2005-2010 years with the good teams on the field and really feeling like anything is possible at the start of the season. 😂

Why professional sports fans be the most stupid people in the world ？ they know teams trying to lose but still feel excited about the game.

That’s a fair point!

Although even just looking back at 2024 opening day lineup in general. That lineup seemed stacked in comparison.
C - Nick Fortes
1B - Bell
2B - Arraez
3B - Burger
SS - Tim Anderson
LF - Nick Gordon
CF - Jazz Chisholm
RF - Jesus Sanchez
DH - DLC

Crazy that it’s already been one year and well how fast that team and the season fell apart. Because on paper that looked like one of the most solid lineups the Marlins had in years as most of us expected TA to play decent and for Jazz to have an all star season etc.

Ugh.. I don’t want to think about last season. Or this season. 😂

Don’t get too hooked on the clock comment, it’s a joke from the Ng days. And I’m not moving any goalposts. I was fine with Bendix coming in and rebuilding. My point is that starting in August and especially into 2026 I expect a competitive/fun team with the core built around Bendix-acquired prospects, draft picks, FA signings plus Edwards and Sandy. Anything less and his rebuild will officially move into disappointment territory at best, failure at worst.

Yeah that was a great article.

This was my favorite part:
Yeah he pretty much articulated what so many of us have been saying now for a long time but especially over the past year or so. 😮
