Wild Card Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Cool rundown on this spring so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaMarlinsForever Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I think it matters, if it was 2-6 we would be worried, our players are on the field,not some side-liners, so yes, for me it matters. Im one of those people that believe if you do bad in spring training you do bad in regular season, and if you do good in spring training you will do good in regular season.

h2r09 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 except kansas city was by far the best team in spring last year, toronto the year before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 except kansas city was by far the best team in spring last year, toronto the year before that. Kansas City ended up doing pretty well last year, all things considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I do agree that ST at the very least sets the tone for the start of the season (not the entire season). If you win, you probably have a nice momentum heading into Opening Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2r09 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 don't get me wrong it never hurts to win ball games but when for the majority of spring teams are taking their starters out by the 7th inning w/l doesnt really mean much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vince0926 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Winning builds chemistry I would think so even if it doesn't count record wise, I feel it does build momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 For a team with a bunch of new free agents that are here to try and reestablish a winning mentality, spring games do matter to an extent. In a few weeks they won't mean anything but today they do. Im not saying u can predict the season by it, and I know spring stats are skewed in a million ways for a million reasons but the mentality that spring games mean absolutely nothing is so outdated and misunderstood.

SilverBullet Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Good example of when spring matters happened today. Marmol made his spring debut, threw 16 balls and walked two in one inning of work, showing us that he still sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll make that decision by May when H-Rod is dominating NO, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Didn't think this was worth a new thread but anyone else surprised we haven't seen a single cut yet? My only guess is they're waiting because they'll need a healthy sized roster for the weekend of the Panama games since we still have split squad games in Jupiter that weekend too.

Wild Card Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Gotta say, it's been a pretty impressive spring so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think about that until you mentioned it, but that does make a lot of sense. Odds are we'll see the first few cuts and reassignments right after the Panama series.
