May 21, 201511 yr Going into this homestand I was hoping for 7-3 and thought that was reasonably achievable. How wrong I was...
May 21, 201511 yr This season is pretty much over. At least they blew it early this time so we wouldn't waste our time watching the rest of it. Maybe next season, Flounders fans.
May 21, 201511 yr This season is pretty much over. At least they blew it early this time so we wouldn't waste our time watching the rest of it. Maybe next season, Flounders fans. I guess it's better for them to tank now, rather than compete and flame out again...
May 21, 201511 yr Stuff like Adam Conley (with shit K and BB rates and a FIP of 5 in AAA) over Brad Hand (2.32 FIP/3.27 xFIP and a lot better history as a reliever than as a starter [albeit smaller sample size]) and Nicolino and Urena over Cosart just makes me think Back Up Quaterback Syndrome. Plus things like Morris actually having good peripherals, Latos having done a lot better since his first start, where did Morse go (no one's going to take on that contract as he's performing now), and I think people are going to be pretty disappointed in Bour (though he'd probably get a pass for not being all that good simply because he's not Morse, much like Realmuto not being Salty).
May 21, 201511 yr I don't see how the Marlins will be able to move Morse unless he's an albatross in a much larger package.
May 21, 201511 yr Author Latos having done a lot better since his first start, I mean it's pretty much impossible not to do better than his first start. He still sucks.
May 21, 201511 yr There should really be a mercy rule once you get to 20 games under .500. Which we'll get to by mid-June.

May 21, 201511 yr In more positive news it seems the Greninja amiibo exclusive to Toys R Us will be much more plentiful in supply than what was originally thought. That's something to be happy about.
May 21, 201511 yr I don't see how the Marlins will be able to move Morse unless he's an albatross in a much larger package. Correct. And that's how it will happen
May 21, 201511 yr I mean it's pretty much impossible not to do better than his first start. He still sucks. 3.31 FIP since his first game. He has a LOT better chance of being a good starter going forward than Nicolino or Urena do...
May 21, 201511 yr “It’s like a snowball,” Jennings said of the losing streak. whats that's even mean?
May 22, 201511 yr Author 3.31 FIP since his first game. He has a LOT better chance of being a good starter going forward than Nicolino or Urena do... Did you include this game? Either way, his fastball is completely dead. BTW the reports continue to say he's "pitching through pain." Put the motherfucker on the DL if that's the case
May 22, 201511 yr Author “I’m trying to do this job at 60, 70, 80 percent,” Latos said. “[i’ve] pitched [poorly]. I’m tired of it, to be honest with you. It’s something I’ve got to go through. I’m out there trying to compete, and not being 100 percent — or 90 percent — is not the greatest thing. Once I started to get right, I took a line drive off the leg, and now I’ve got to deal with that. It affects me more than what people would really know. I have to deal with putting all my weight on that leg when I go to throw.” Read more here: http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/mlb/miami-marlins/article21526824.html#storylink=cpy
May 22, 201511 yr Author Sounds like a buncha BS coming from a guy on a contract year who can't throw 95mph anymore

May 22, 201511 yr Author So go on the fucking DL. Instead of crying about it. Seriously. Pretty annoying shit.
May 22, 201511 yr Listening to that press conference I don't see any player transactions coming. These fucktards are so damn stubborn and are trying so hard to prove everyone wrong instead of accepting player movement is needed and not just a "fiery, passionate coach"
