Alexdw85 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I know he probably wont keep it up, but Ive been pretty happy with his play so far. He might have a halfway decent bounce back season after that disaster he put up last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey05Marlins Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Great start, will probably regress to the mean soon, especially if he keeps getting starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexdw85 Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Sorry. I knew it would happen. We still won though and Im still a Dobbs fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBob27 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Sorry. I knew it would happen. We still won though and Im still a Dobbs fan. Good for you. Dobbs was my darkhorse to make the team going into ST because we really needed a lefty off the bench. Glad he is doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridafly Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Does Dobb's Dudes replace Uggla's Ugglies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Because he's left-handed, I don't think that Dobbs was ever a "dark horse" to make the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoBob27 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Because he's left-handed, I don't think that Dobbs was ever a "dark horse" to make the team. Hmmmm Had a good '08, but '09 and '10 were sub par with '10 being pretty bad, signed a minor league contract which gives no guarantees, Baker was penciled in ahead of him for the lefty off the bench (some even had Wise ahead of him), didn't clinch that spot til very late in ST (read the article on him at marlins.com), and I never saw anyone post anything about him probably making the team. Don't know what your definition of a dark horse is, but that pretty much fills my list. Then of course, you probably knew he was going to get a roster slot before ST started and can show the posts you made confirming that statement. I'll wait.

Then of course, you probably knew he was going to get a roster slot before ST started and can show the posts you made confirming that statement. I'll wait. I'd say his selection only comes as a surprise to those who thought there was a likely possibility that Dominguez makes the opening day roster. And Dobbs had a more impressive resume than Wise did, which is of course in addition to the fact that it would have been likely that Wise making the roster meant that Cousins wouldn't. Dobbs was certainly never a lock, but I'd only say he's a "dark horse" if you had reasonable confidence in Dominguez's bat or thought that the Marlins would do something silly and rush him. Otherwise Dobbs' only rival was Baker, who couldn't even play the field. And not everyone has your immaturity to give a damn about who predicted what. You just love patting yourself on the back.
