December 15, 20178 yr We should share if any of us get invited so we can bring questions from the forum. I have not received my gold plated invitation yet.
December 15, 20178 yr Author Do we have 200 season ticket holders remaining? Maybe it is 200 combined people. 199 reporters and 1 carefully selected season ticket holder.
December 15, 20178 yr 200 very carefully selected yes-men and women? Are you saying we do not fit that description
December 15, 20178 yr Do we have 200 season ticket holders remaining? Maybe it is 200 combined people. 199 reporters and 1 carefully selected season ticket holder. It's just going to be Marlins Man and Scoop. Two people, but with the egos of 200.
December 15, 20178 yr Jokes aside this is a good thing... for both sides. I'm sure there will be plenty of vague PR answers from Jeter but let him hear the fans frustrations directly from some of them and let the fans hear his responses directly as well. Everyone is human of course so sometimes just hearing the other side helps. This is also something Loria himself never did, to the best of my knowledge. Samson and Hill have done this stuff but I don't Loria ever did.
December 15, 20178 yr Author I think not allowing taping or filming is a bad decision. Vindictive fans can "misremember" some of his answers or media could spin them by partially quoting and such.
December 15, 20178 yr I think not allowing taping or filming is a bad decision. Vindictive fans can "misremember" some of his answers or media could spin them by partially quoting and such. Good point. Maybe there's no filming allowed because Jeter is planning to use bad words! Ooooohhhhh!!!!
December 15, 20178 yr It's just going to be Marlins Man and Scoop. Two people, but with the egos of 200. That seems a bit low for their combined egos.

Samson and Hill have done this stuff but I don't Loria ever did. Actually, after the belated fire sale in 2005, there was a forum under a tent outside the stadium. You're right, Loria was not there and never did this. They served drinks and some finger food and I think some hallucinogenics to calm us down. Basically, Samson ran the meeting and let some of the new players field question, like Scott Olson, etc. There was a decent amount of acrimony but just like Jeter, it is all for the optics.
December 16, 20178 yr I'm sure fish20 is at the top of the list. you've got a pretty creepy obsession with me

Fun Fact: the 2008 and 2009 teams had better records than the 2004 and 2005 teams.
December 16, 20178 yr I was invited. But there’s no chance I could get down to the park at 6 on a Tuesday. Heck, I’m usually rushing - and failing - to get there by 7:10 most Tuesdays. And I guarantee you i’m NOT a yes man - Jeter’s already lost me as a customer for next year (was a half-season ticket holder). John Henry’s town hall for season ticket holders was held during Fan Fest on a weekend.
December 16, 20178 yr Who the fuck would waste a question or part of a question to ask about a rebrand? There are like 900 more important questions to ask. Dear God.
December 16, 20178 yr I don't think these dudes are coming back Even only added about TEN fans by bring back Ichi,it's still much worth for Jeter to do it.
December 16, 20178 yr I wish we could all attend the meeting. We'd ask the right questions. Even if he'd give non responses back he'd get to hear the stuff we want him to hear. I can even ask him about the boat @Rydawgand I are gonna hop on.
December 16, 20178 yr I want Taiwanmarlin to be part of the town hall. Who wants to join me in sponsoring this?
December 16, 20178 yr Jeter will not say something special, I think. Like the letter that he wrote and revealed it publicly, he will say "We're going to develop a winning culture... blah, blah" or "...sustained success. blah, blah". And "That's not the truth about a treat against Stanton. Just be misinformed..."
December 16, 20178 yr Jeter will not say something special, I think. Like the letter that he wrote and revealed it publicly, he will say "We're going to develop a winning culture... blah, blah" or "...sustained success. blah, blah". 100% that's not saying nothing. that's literally an entire organizational philosophy.
December 16, 20178 yr that's not saying nothing. that's literally an entire organizational philosophy. I mean it will be a formal speech and explanation.
December 16, 20178 yr that's not saying nothing. that's literally an entire organizational philosophy. that's saying nothing because that's an organizational philosophy of every organization…
December 16, 20178 yr Bottom line, and this has nothing to do with their plan or even if it is ultimately successful beyond expectations, they do not give two craps about what we think and have to say. It will all be canned responses. Waste of time, unless the food is free and good for those going. Otherwise, they could just create a handout and post on the website a FAQ with all the questions and answers set.
