January 16, 201610 yr [uSER=5712]@Vince0926[/uSER]do you think the team can with with the current culture? I think anything can happen. They can be in first. They can finish last. I like the additions of mattingly and Chen. But that's it regarding additions. Despite everything last year and the drama and Dee still loving being with the team speaks volumes and that's great. We just gotta play the games.
January 16, 201610 yr To reiterate on what squall asked, the "culture of losing" meter can definitely go obsolete if you finally learn to win a series at San Diego, a game at Pittsburgh, split a series at Washington, win a season series against Arizona, and handle business against bad teams. We can't play Colorado 162 times....

January 17, 201610 yr http://motorcitybengals.com/2016/01/17/detroit-tigers-should-pursue-one-of-marlins-surplus-starters/ Luckily for Detroit, Miami has a number of inexpensive rotation/swingmen type arms that could be appealing. As a team that’s rebuilding, the Fish could use all the help they can get. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Marlins trade a big league contributor for a mid-level prospect. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS STUPID GUY SAYING.
January 17, 201610 yr That's the problem with media types. One can argue that maybe we should be rebuilding, but the team has a large group of "rookie contract" controlled players and long term deals for three of our top hitters. Further, starting pitching is our biggest area of weakness, even if we were rebuilding why would we trade from there.
January 17, 201610 yr We're not rebuilding. Even if we're not "all in" going for it like, say, what Arizona is doing right now, we're not rebuilding. We intend to put out a competitive team, even if we're not spending big to do it. Stupid media.

January 17, 201610 yr I think its insulting to the media to call this guy a member of it just a BLOGGER.
January 17, 201610 yr I have more credibility than that fool and I can't even give right info 3 hours before it happens.

January 17, 201610 yr who cares? he isnt involved in the team in any way and is just a fan talking out of his ass. Why get your panties in a wad? I dont lose sleep over this stuff but the media is intended to relay information to the public, especially those people who are not knowledgeable about a subject those people look to the media to give them information and facts. So when media is blatantly wrong it spreads lies and rumors and false assumptions. So I don't see a problem being insulted when the media clearly relays wrong information. I'm gonna give a far out but blunt example... What if the media were to say the president of the US wasn't Obama? Eventually there'd be a mass confusion on who the president was. That would be highly irresponsible reporting from people who's job is to report facts. So, while again I'm not crying over it, forgive me for wanting to slap anyone in the media who's saying my baseball team is rebuilding when they clearly intend to compete.

January 17, 201610 yr fan sites are not really media though. You're right, I was thinking that as I wrote my post to you. Unfortunately the way social media/the internet has intertwined itself with media/news reporting too many ignorant people read a fan site and consider it news just because it's on the internet. Which is a discussion for another day but it's part of the problem I proposed.
January 17, 201610 yr MB.com is a media destination. Fuck you @Das Texan Mb.com needs a podcast to become a media destination.
January 17, 201610 yr MB.com is a media destination. Fuck you @Das Texan Stop being lazy and get media access to games and clubhouses and whatever, hack.
January 17, 201610 yr Stop being lazy and get media access to games and clubhouses and whatever, hack. I'll think about it
January 17, 201610 yr We'd make a hilarious podcast. It'd be informative too considering how much more we know than lots of actual media. It would be a hit.
