all black marlins hat Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 One of the analyst on sports center actually picked the Marlins as a team being able to contend. He went along to mention Gregg being a really good closer, not ass good as Gagne, but really good. Spoke about having Gonzo on the bench and how the team is out to prove. Then on BBTN I flipped in late midway through a segment on the Marlins, where they spoke about one of the things that would come down to would be the end of the season because young players aren't used to it because the season in the minors are shorter.

Piazza31 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yeah, I saw that= Eric Young said the hitting is as prolific as the mets and phillies, and the rotation once healthy can match up with their division. He also said Greg is 3-0 and is in the same class as Billy Wagner (not Gagne). Nice to see that were getting some props. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Card Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Very nice to see and hear. I mean, first place a week in the year is great. First place a month in the year is something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitchingWinsGames Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 These are the same tools who will jump off the bandwagon if we even fall into second place... They'll be the first to cite our "inexperience" or lack of talent compared to such "powerhouses" as ATL, PHI and NYM... Yeah, it's nice to get a pat on the back from these guys, but being spurned by the media is working better so far... at this point, I'd rather they just stick to their trendy picks.

Most of these guys are in at least their 3rd ML seasons. So who exactly were they refering to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all black marlins hat Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 They were looking for somethign negative. IF I remember correctly, they said it happened last season. That they just fell off during the last weeks of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricWiener Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 BBTN did a segment on both the Rays and the Marlins. Part one was why they will stay in contention and part two is why they wouldn't. I thought that the Marlins segment was interesting in that the most they could come up with is youth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all black marlins hat Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 They compared the age averages among the "youngest" teams, and the Marlins were the youngest but not my much.... Marlins were 27.3 I believe, and the rays and several other teams were slightly higher like 27.8 or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Punisher Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 These fat le alibaba retards type guys need to shut their pipe hole, get up from their cozy lounge chairs, and look in the mirror and see where the real inexperience is. They think they are Walter Mercado or something? It's cool that they gave us a pat in the back but man just save it, stop going with what happens now, say something and stick to it, that way at the end of the season you look like a complete idiot. Funny how these same guys were writing us off before we even played one single game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
