April 25, 200917 yr Why do you even bother posting? Because many of you people actually believe I am serious and answer me Its a laugh riot.
April 25, 200917 yr Wow and tomorrow when he K's the side you guys will say you always believed in him and he's going to be great. You realize Lindstrom retiring the side is almost unheard of, striking out the side is something he has done twice, both times in 2007. He always puts runners on. The blind eye people turn to Lindstroms troubles makes me laugh. He is simply not a very good pitcher.
April 25, 200917 yr Think the Brewers would be willing to move Jorge Julio? That is a perfect example of Loria trying to sabatoge his team. Jorge Julio...."He's our man" :banghead :banghead :banghead One of the surest signs that the Marlins lost is a bunch of posts by Mungo. Fun fact: Mungo hasn't posted in 10 days, since he revealed that he lives in a dream land where no one refers to Queen Elizabeth II as "the Queen of England". You still don't get it, there is NO Queen of England. That title has been vacated for 302 years. You can call her that all you want, but it still doesn't mean its a valid name. I do get it. Your argument was that it's not the right team while calling President Obama that is because of "common vernacular". And then you argued that "Queen of England" wasn't common vernacular. It's ridiculousness, sir. Just like you didn't want to say "President of The United States Obama", I didn't want to say "Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and the other Commonwealth realms". Seriously, complete ridiculousness.
April 25, 200917 yr Its F*cking incredible how quick we lost this i got tickets to tomorrows game i think i rather stay home and be able to watch both Heat and Marlins instead of watching a crapfest and missing the heat Same. I was going to go tomorrow but I'm rethinking it now. These are the kinds of games that make me stop watching baseball for a few days to a week. It pisses me off. We've lost 4 straight after winning 11 out of 12. All the ground we gained is slowly being lost because of stupid moves. Let Nunez continue - he had struck out 2 and did a good job. what's a closer but a stupid title that's supposed to be given to the BEST middle relief pitcher? It's obvious that Lindstrom doesn't fit that bill. In fact, didn't he throw ALL fastballs to load the bases? What kind of a good pitcher relies on the same pitch, especially if he can't throw it for a strike? Hell, if you're gonna miss then miss with a slider or something different. As others have said, potential only gets you so far... Oh, and I didn't know that he was 29... He should have reached is 'potential' a few years ago. He's not exactly a 22 year old anymore, you can't be THIS patient. This is difficult to swallow.

April 25, 200917 yr This is difficult to swallow. That's what she said. Lol i was gonna type that but im to pissed to do it
April 25, 200917 yr Calm the f*** down. Games get lost, even like this. We were certainly enjoying doing it to the other guys last weekend. He certainly looked bad today, but this kind of sh*t happens in April all the time. Sure Freddi could have pulled Matt either before or after Rollins' PA, but it isn't like either he or Victorino couldn't knock in 2 (the GS was overkill) off of any of our other BP guys. Name the closer. And 'anyone but him' doesn't count.
April 25, 200917 yr oh well, tomorrow's another day, another fight! Is that comic from the UVA newspaper?
April 25, 200917 yr Wouldn't mind seeing Nunez as the closer...Linstrom needs to be setting up right now. I liked what Rich and Hudden said, about how he should be setting up untill he gets on a roll and Nunez should be closing for now.
April 25, 200917 yr folks, lindstrom has quality stuff. The fact is, he's not ready to be closing games yet. He was injured and it clearly shows. I blame this on management for not recognizing that lindstrom is injured, and still putting him in critical situations. Nunez and Calero both have the stuff to close games. It's not like our bullpen is in desperate need of a closer. It's just silly they put him in to close before he was 100%. Poor management.
April 25, 200917 yr Wow and tomorrow when he K's the side you guys will say you always believed in him and he's going to be great. You realize Lindstrom retiring the side is almost unheard of. By unheard off you mean his last appearance before today? I mean, I'm not trying to pretend that he's been lights out, but come on. First off, how many people actually do that often? Here is an example. K-Rod had 21 appearances last season of atleast 1 IP with no H and no BB. In 63 appearances of at least 1IP. Lindstrom did it 17 times in 48 appearances of at least 1IP. That's 35% for Lindstrom and 33% for multi-million dollar closer K-Rod. This actually interests me a bunch now that you mention it. I'm gonna look further into this.
April 25, 200917 yr If by quality stuff you mean a flat fastball and a slider he cant throw effectively...so just a fastball then.
April 25, 200917 yr No, he's lights out. Just rusty. :whistle That was one of the gayyest games that i have ever seen in a looong time :thumbdown Look at the bright side, atleast were still first right? We gotta get out of this losing streak before we f**king fall behind again. Looking forward to the Baseball Tonight coverage :banghead Yeah funny thing is like a turd i autotuned baseball tonight in the 8th thinking the marlins would win for sure... i just cancelled that autotune :lol
April 25, 200917 yr I want Nu?ez as our closer. TOMORROW. The only trustful bullpen arm we have. Hey, you can't leave Kiko out of that one.
April 25, 200917 yr This forum should just shut down for 5 hours after a Marlins loss to prevent this forum from being completely trashed. This place is starting to quickly resemble official MLB message boards...*shudder*
April 25, 200917 yr oh well, tomorrow's another day, another fight! Is that comic from the UVA newspaper? The only thing i know is that it's a good 5-6 years old. Don't remember the source.
April 25, 200917 yr If by quality stuff you mean a flat fastball and a slider he cant throw effectively...so just a fastball then. Lindstrom's fastball was electric last year and his slider worked well. I 100% agree this year both have been completely flat and ineffective. I attribute this to his injury, but I believe he will recover and regain what he had last year. However, he should of never of been in the closing role until he was 100%. This is on management.

The blind eye people turn to Lindstroms troubles makes me laugh. He is simply not a very good pitcher. I was just trying to say that some people here are stupid, fair weather, bandwagoners. Yes he did awful tonight and yes he has extreme control issues but last year when he was lights out as a closer most of you(not all, this is a shout out to Erick ) said that he is great and is the future closer. Even close to the next Brad Lidge. Now apparently he's the worst picther in the world and Loria should be fired for not getting another guy to close . I was one of the believers and i still do believe that he has the potential to be a solid closer/set up man down the road, but Wiley realy needs to work on his mechanics. All the crazy movements he make result in several different arm actions in an attempt to find the strike zone and he ends up being all over the place. If we change it up a little bit and create a nice smooth delivery and start to establish more offspeed picthes early in the count this kid good be a realy good pitcher.
