May 23, 201511 yr A forced resignation is a firing. But still Loria cant say he officially fired him, thats gotta stick in his craw a little, kinda like the one that got away.
May 23, 201511 yr "Tremendous at bats. They're battling. I think of the basehits [14] we had there were only two extra base hits. We need that hit to get in the spot where we can do damage. But I will take the way they're battling and the way they're approaching this game and the at-bats they had. Again, it's coming out of that storm. There's a lot of positive to this." Is this guy fucking serious? Yeah so that 1st and 3rd and 1 out and the runner at second with 0 outs and the 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs and the runner at 3rd with 1 out all of which resulted in no runs.

I will get crucified for saying this, but even with the league leading RBI's it seems Stanton frequently has awful at bats with the runner on third less than two outs.
May 23, 201511 yr I blame Hech. When he got better, everyone else decided to suck. Fuck you Hech. excellent point
May 23, 201511 yr It's clear that the majority of the fanbase want Loria out. Well why not do something to show your disgust at how this franchise is run? Take a page out of football (soccer) fans over here - for months before every game, thousands of fans of my team Rangers would gather outside the stadium on match days and protest against the ownership. Furthermore, fans of Newcastle United who hate their owner and planning to occupy the pitch after their game tomorrow and refuse to leave for a considerable period of time.
May 23, 201511 yr I will get crucified for saying this, but even with the league leading RBI's it seems Stanton frequently has awful at bats with the runner on third less than two outs. I will say that several of his RBI have been in rather low pressure situations. He has failed more often then not when we really need him.
May 23, 201511 yr I will say that several of his RBI have been in rather low pressure situations. He has failed more often then not when we really need him. Not a clutch hitter. Good guy. Good attitude. Humble guy. Just like what you say. He is leading the league in RBIs, but, when we needed him. Stanton should have 12 more RBIs then what he has now.
May 23, 201511 yr Ya for what it's worth I have no confidence in any situation where he just needs a base hit to drive in a run. Stanton is a generational power hitter but he can never be a super star if he doesn't get a fellow more consistent star next to him or he starts to make a lot more consistent contact

Stanton is a generational power hitter but he can never be a super star if he doesn't get a fellow more consistent star next to him or he starts to make a lot more consistent contact Or he gains a lot more plate discipline and stops swinging at balls way outside the strike zone. He should've walked at least five more time this last week, where he took a swing at some ridiculous pitches.

Marlin fans and football fans in the UK are completely different species , hardcore football fans vs family outing to Marlins park grandma and grandpa fans. Yeah, Marlin fans are probably some of the most softcore fans in Sports. Dont think there will be any protest any time soon, and if there is, might be like 5 people outside protesting sipping on lemon aid
