September 17, 201610 yr Man so many of you would make horrible GMs... "Yes we're only behind a few games in the standings but we've decided to shut down our top players to get them rested for next season because while we still have a chance our chances are still improbable. Thank you fans for all your support." I would never have acquired Cashner and Rodney to start with, so ya. I dont really have a problem with Stanton playing if he is healthy. I dont care about Fernandez if he isnt signing long term. Starting up Chen to start in a big league game after 2 months out and no real rehab is such a Marlins thing to do (sim games arent the same thing and Chen isnt Clayton Kershaw). Not to mind chen was pitching like trash. Besides, fans dont really show up anyway so whatever.
September 17, 201610 yr I didn't only mean for the Marlins in my you'd make horrible GMs post. I'm talking in general how some of you think it'd be ok for a team to stop playing like they have a chance even when they still do. You'd probably be horrible managers too... "Ok guys go out there but don't bother playing hard because it's improbable that we make the playoffs"

"Ok guys go out there but don't bother playing hard because it's improbable that we make the playoffs" you have to balance current performance with future performance sometime. is it worth it to go balls to the wall for a 2% chance and possibly risk long term injury for x player? or do you tell x player to continue to rehab and get fully healthy to be ready for a possible postseason run; or just sit it out until spring training? cost/benefit analysis.

Thank you fans for all your support." As marlins GM, i would have created a major league starting rotation which means I would not have traded away a stud RP for trash. As Gm, I also wouldnt build a team of groundball/ high avg hitters in 2016

September 17, 201610 yr You are all absolutely right with your analysis of how horribly the Marlins have built this team and how this teams chances are almost zero, I'm not disagreeing with that.... But there is absolutely no way this team should be shutting people down right now.

September 17, 201610 yr Fernandez they said was being shut down at 180 ip.Chen hasnt pitched in what? 2 months? How is that smart? They give u a better chance in the games they start than Esch Nicolino etc. When your four games out with sixteen games to play you throw your best out there and hope to win every night. I don't get how this is a debate. You play all out until your actually eliminated. Stranger comebacks have happened, you don't play or manage like your out of it until you are actually out of it. What kind of team or manager just gives up before it's over?

What kind of team or manager just gives up before it's over? I dont get letting Chen pitch when he hasnt pitched in two months is kinda the point. I wouldnt think I'd have a great chance to win with him out there. The way baseball is ran these days, there is no chance Fernandez is going over 180 or much over it. he went 64.2 ip int he bigs last year, add in some what? 20 ip in rehab? Its not wise or smart to have a pitcher go THAT much longer for their long term health when they havent done it in 3 years. Again you balance going for it with no regard for tomorrow or keep in mind the long term health also.
September 17, 201610 yr The whole point of limiting Jose's innings was so he could pitch in the playoffs and they set his schedule before the season for that purpose. In the unlikely event that the Marlins make the playoffs, Jose WILL be pitching.

In the unlikely event that the Marlins make the playoffs, Jose WILL be pitching. ok. so they make the playoffs after having him pitch these last few games. what then? (i thought shutting him down early last year was dumber cause it set this shit up for this year)
September 18, 201610 yr i saw that look their want him tryout next year job or want send bad jose back jacksonville
September 18, 201610 yr i saw that look their want him tryout next year job or want send bad jose back jacksonville Jose Fernandez needs to try out to be on next year's team???
September 18, 201610 yr Need to aggravate the injury to make it a marlins move. such an irresponsible and short sighted franchise, as usual.
September 18, 201610 yr fuck you. I said here, if anyone else wants it to let me know and nobody did.
September 18, 201610 yr i asked for it last night you fucking asshole. Not after I asked. FINE I'll put you on it. But you need to tell me what is a problem with it so I can be sure to try and correct it.
