SongInTheAir Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 If it ends up being some hellish mixture of Conine and Preston Wilson, I would be willing to bet $3.50 that they "tried" to get someone like Dontrelle Willis, Juan Pierre, or Pudge before things "fell through" or there was a "difference of opinions". Something like: Marlins: So, Mr. Train, tell us why you want to be the voice of the Marlins. Willis: Well, I love the team and I had my only good years here, so I have fond memories. Marlins: Sounds good so far, now, what will you say if a player is hitting .927 with 230 home runs at the deadline, and we trade him for a Single-A reliever who just turned 36 and cash considerations? Willis: I would say it's a bad deal. Marlins: Mr. Train, you're fired. Willis: But you never even... Marlins: Get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokersgoon Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Samson had a regular weekly spot on lebatards' show awhile back.. Till IIRC lebatard or Jackson said that partnership got nipped in the bud by Loria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovertical Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 why not Loria himself? That might actually be worth listening to for the tension alone. I would love nothing more than Loria in the booth and Marlins Man buying out the seat next to him for Tommy to troll Loria.....every....single....game. Tammy Hutton works too.....

DolphinJohn Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Can't believe they thought it was the best decision to fire Tommy and not have an actual replacement in mind. Like, an actual experienced announcer/color guy. FP Santangelo was impossible to listen to. I don't know if it was just the shit he talked about the Marlins or his general douchery, but I wanted to punch him. I'm glad that fell through. If that guy was their only guy with experience on the list of possibilities..... so Loria. So damned Loria lol. Eat crow and ask Tommy back. Seriously. The freaking crybaby players complained he was overly critical of them? Give me a break!! Don't suck so bad and you won't be criticized. It's his damn job to be factual and call out players not doing there job, is it not??? Still pissed about this... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SongInTheAir Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 How do we make sure it's a lot of Al, a little of Eduardo, and almost no Preston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada-marlin24 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Al Leiter isnt terrible but he's one of those guys who will get a little nervous or forget what he wanted to say and then just say something that makes no fucking sense. I thought Perez did a pretty decent job on Baseball Tonight but Preston, although seeming like a very nice guy, is awful. But none are near Hutton. I also love the complete lack of continuity.

SilverBullet Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I like Al but the least they could have done was made a genuine effort to get a quality replacement. This crap, MONTHS after firing Tommy just reeks of A) firing Tommy out of impulse and B) completely procrastinating and eating shit in the search for the new guy.

SongInTheAir Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 ALL PRESTON ALL THE TIME He will be in the booth alone, and also he will be absorbing the Minervini/Williams/Blaylock/Forte/Conine role. Whenever South Floridians turn on Fox Sports Florida during baseball season, they will hear the dulcet tones of Preston James Richard Wilson.
