June 9, 20188 yr The fact that Scott has already been signed signals to me that the pick was largely motivated by money. LMAO
June 9, 20188 yr liberatore is being passed on for $ reasons. Dude, they are being cheap even in the draft. ROFL
June 10, 20188 yr Yes it's too early to judge the entire draft but curious if anyone felt any differences with this draft and their strategies and who they went after in comparison to the past Loria led drafts? For the first time in years, our first round pick doesn't jump to #1 on our Top 30 prospects chart?
June 10, 20188 yr Who cares who we draft. We will trade them next year for Sergio Romo, when we are only 10 games out of the second wild card spot. We NEED a closer! and he will only be 37! Sergio is a starter now. I think.
June 11, 20188 yr Author It's very annoying when people make loud assumptions based on nothing but then are proven wrong and they suddenly disappear. Penguino you were more on Singer and Gorman and were explaining yourself more logically but Punisher was loud and proud that they took Scott just to be cheap and he was wrong. Petty or not, I don't blame SonOfJack for being a nuisance with this one considering the same level of nuisance thrown at him. Sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire with some of the people on here.
June 11, 20188 yr Author This site works best if users have the opportunity to make "loud assumptions" without being harassed for it by a string of 7-8 obnoxious posts. This isn't me being a snowflake. I just place a strong emphasis on the ability to have everyone speak their minds, no matter how negative (let's face it, there aren't many reasons for Marlins fans to be positive right now). I have no problem with anyone speaking their minds here, I welcome it, but Punisher and SonOfJack had a dialogue over something that Punisher has been proven wrong over and suddenly he can't respond. Let him have it. I don't think it's harassment, I think it's a continuation of the dialogue. If it's harassment then it was harassment the other way too. If Punisher was so happy to make his points he should be willing to continue the conversation when he's proven wrong.
June 11, 20188 yr Hey [uSER=860]@el penguino[/uSER] get off your high horse and maybe take your own advice then. When I made a comment earlier in the thread saying "The fact some other teams have signed their players already too (Casas for one) means nothing of course." , you responded this way: Completely writing off what I said and by your baby boy definition "harassing" me.
June 11, 20188 yr That's fair. But I just want to point out that sometimes I get the impression (and I believe others do as well) that negativity is being suppressed by certain members. If Marlins fans can't be negative now, when can they be? Oh please. Plenty of other people in this thread were negative but they did it with facts. If you make shit up, you'll be corrected on it. Nobody told you that you couldn't post it so "suppressed" is the wrong word. You want to post dumb shit and be proven to be an idiot, that's your prerogative. Just be a man and own up to it when you're wrong.
June 11, 20188 yr Care to show me the other 7 obnoxious posts I made in this thread? Otherwise I fail to see the hypocrisy. We are having a competition here with totals? If you did it once, you prove to be a hypocrite.
June 11, 20188 yr Author That's fair. But I just want to point out that sometimes I get the impression (and I believe others do as well) that negativity is being suppressed by certain members. If Marlins fans can't be negative now, when can they be? Glad you brought this up because I've heard this too and I hate it so I'm now not just talking to you but to EVERYONE... I've been here long enough and feel that I've taken on a leadership role with all I do for this place now so I take it personal when I'm told people feel suppressed here. Fans are free to be negative here if they want to be. If they weren't they'd have been banned, posts deleted, etc etc. The number of people banned from this place since I've been here (13 years) can be counted on one hand and none have been banned just for having differing opinions. This place is very open and not uptight and kicking people out for any little thing like countless other forums do. It's a free for all here with severe moderation only when necessary. I think this is a very active community and anyone who wants to post here needs to understand that virtually every single opinion will be challenged because we will not agree on everything. Is it really suppression when someone negative gets backlash from those who disagree with them or is it a case of not being able to handle the heat? If you post something and it gets challenged and you choose to run and hide from the debate, that's not suppression. Push back, respectfully, and let's have amazing conversations. We want that and we need that. Even if we get heated we're all here for the same thing and I don't think anyone is trying to win arguments by pushing people out. Anyone doing that isn't here anymore. Nobody is unwelcome here. If I'm wrong let me know.
June 11, 20188 yr I don't see anything I posted here that qualifies as "dumb shit" or "made up." It just seems like you have some kind of complex about people voicing negativity. Don't you ever wonder why many people accuse you of being Larry or a FO member? I don't know who Larry is so again I have no idea why that would be a connection to him. You all really need to seek psychiatric help though, all you do is mention this guy.
June 11, 20188 yr And you're damn right I'm going to put a spotlight on anyone who says something stupid and is proven wrong. Especially after they say something condescending to me when I originally point out they could be wrong. Don't like it? Don't say stupid things. Now go ask mommy for a cookie, I got better things to do than read your nonsense.
