April 12, 20188 yr We have a hot garbage broadcasting duo to go along with our hot garbage in-game manager to go along with our hot garbage baseball team that might not draw 600K fans this year. What a time to be a Marlins fan.
April 12, 20188 yr This entire series was demoralizing. Either fight from behind or up to begin the 8th and the supposed strongest part of your team, the bullpen, shits the bed all 3 games. This will be a longgggg season unless something clicks for everyone not named Dietrich or Anderson, and Realmuto / Straily get back ASAP. Im not expecting a winning season, but for god sakes give me something to look forward to if you want me to tune in every night. You’re going to lose over 100 games at this rate Don. Leave Jarlin in until the Mets show signs of catching up to him. Give me reason to watch other than an 89mph lefty facing Michael Conforto, which we all know what the outcomes gonna be.
April 12, 20188 yr We certainly do need Straily, Realmuto, Riddle, Cooper and Prado back ASAP. Really demoralizing that we had two games right there for the taking and we let the Mets step on us. So now that’s two extra inning losses and three blown saves in 12 games. The team is battling but they are fucking up when it really counts.
April 12, 20188 yr In 2006, we started at 15-35. Maybe this could be worse than that. This team isn’t going to turn it around like they did in 2006 either.
April 12, 20188 yr Anderson : 9 rbi Brinson, Maybin, Wallach and Holaday : combined 6 rbi Seemingly our 6th to 9th hitter of lineup doesn't exist. So we lost.
April 12, 20188 yr Brinson I get. I'm willing to believe the 24 year old is just young. But this team right now is missing most of our offense. its just a lineup incapable of scoring runs once we get to the 6th man.
April 12, 20188 yr Right now this team resembles more of the 2013 team than the 2006 team which at least had some Cabrera and Willis and highly rated prospect in Hanley Ramirez. When JT comes back then you can at least at some more offense and remove pretty much an automatic out.
April 12, 20188 yr Right now this team resembles more of the 2013 team than the 2006 team Also the uniforms are closer to the 2013 team than to the 2006 team.
April 12, 20188 yr Prado is another one that once he returns will elevate our floor slightly. He makes enough contact that if we can maybe slot him into left field, move Dietrich to right and Maybin to center, that allows us to send the strikeout machine to New Orleans and the lineup becomes a little less inept. Think about how many games we hit Brinson leadoff and just how poorly those at bats have been. He looked lost yesterday. I felt sorry for him. He’s very talented and I still have really high hopes for him, but he needs to work through this and relax some. If the guy could just get on base maybe Mattingly can let him run the bases and try to make him get that feeling like he’s contributing. He made some really nice plays in center during the first homestand but this series he hasn’t had those opportunities
April 12, 20188 yr Where does Prado play? Great question. Left field is the best option in my opinion. I’d rather not move Anderson around. He did flub some plays in the field the other day but I’d rather leave him at third and settle in there than move him around just to accommodate a guy that won’t be here once his contract ends.

While left field definitely seems like the best option Prado's recent health issues make that a big question mark. It might actually be what causes Anderson to switch positions at least for a while.
