April 17, 201610 yr did owner not let Mattingly make own move because was no many move doing offseason
April 17, 201610 yr but how you let team lose two time very bad team Because it's a losing culture. How else can it be anything different? The Phillies would have beaten Atlanta I'm sure. Bad things just happen to us. Loris sold his soul for that title in 03 and until he sells, then things will always be like this
April 17, 201610 yr Loris i think didnt let Mattingly make big move because Mattingly know this line up dont have all good hitter only very few
April 17, 201610 yr but hitting not only issue it pitching both starter and bullpen and even jose not having good start of season dont look shape as last season when i saw him pitch at park he didnt look shape

Almost every season since 2003 we have ended the season at or near last place. How do you like those apples?
April 17, 201610 yr Koehler is starter but look bad we dont have good starter rotation even jose not having good start season

Almost every season since 2003 we have ended the season at or near last place. How do you like those apples? Aside from 2008 and 2009 where there was a glimmer of hope, there has been absolutely nothing. We even had instances in 2005 and 2014 where we may have had something but nope. Whatever is assembled whether it is heavy duty talent just has not worked here.
April 17, 201610 yr Koehler is starter but look bad we dont have good starter rotation even jose not having good start season Jose ain't happy and I feel there could be some turmoil we don't know about. I see him getting traded in July if this thing doesn't turn around. Can't believe I'm repeating myself for the seventh straight year
April 17, 201610 yr Jose ain't happy and I feel there could be some turmoil we don't know about. I see him getting traded in July if this thing doesn't turn around. Can't believe I'm repeating myself for the seventh straight year i notice he not pitching like last season he was not help team mate in ny and look bad start at home too
April 17, 201610 yr This team sucks. I have no expectations for postseason until Loria-Turd sells. Counting the days until NFL....
April 17, 201610 yr Everyone needs to slow down. This is what was advertised...a less than .500 team that will be third in NL East. Just remember...there will come a point when we can all relax and not base our 2016 happiness on this team. The problem is everyone has hope right now...but soon that will fade away...and we will all start collectively discussing the pieces that we think will help us in 2017. If I had the patience I would have posted a gif of that guy calmly being stabbed at the end of Saving Private Ryan. The Marlins are that scumbag Nazi...shooshing us....

April 17, 201610 yr sunday is white heat playoff who care in marlins this going be heat nation marlins suck now their miami forgot team ask who marlins their say that bad team play at nice park GOOOOO HEATTTT
April 17, 201610 yr Okay, well some upside there at least. Digging their offense, some great defensive FA pick-ups, if they draft well in two weeks I expect 8-8 and playoffs
April 17, 201610 yr Something has to give. We're in some major trouble. From this beginning this was never a playoff team. I'm not sure what you are expecting.
April 17, 201610 yr While the lineup really doesn't matter, I have to bring up that it's amazing Mattingly has Ozuna in the 2 spot. With Bour hitting well the lineup needs to be 1. Gordon 2. Yelich 3. Stanton 4. Bour 5. Prado 6. Ozuna 7. Realmuto 8. Hechavarria It's crazy to me that this isn't the lineup already. But there's obvious flaws with this team that are being exposed early. From the terrible bullpen to the absolute lack of a #3 starting pitcher to a lineup that lacks plate discipline and is below average in the power department. These flaws were apparent at the start of the season and are just as apparent now. There's places we can fix some of these issues (bullpen, change the lineup to the above) but the real issues come from trades that stem back two years and poor draft decisions over the last four years. The season is super early so these are just reiterating concerns I had at the start of the year, but there needs to be a cultural change in the way this team approaches piecing together a lineup and attacking new acquisitions through free agency, the trade market and the draft.
