June 5, 20197 yr I believe the meaning of "tanking" was to create a bad roster but still do the best to try to win every game, not creating a bad roster and intending to lose games, right ?
June 5, 20197 yr Some people get too negative when they lose and too positive when they win. But "too positive" was always better than "too negative", right ?
June 5, 20197 yr This is nice... [ATTACH]3021._xfImport[/ATTACH] It won't last all season but this also isn't just one good weekend or something like that. Enjoy it while it lasts but to keep pace with the Dodgers Yankees and Astros for nearly a month is very cool.
June 5, 20197 yr It won't last all season but this also isn't just one good weekend or something like that. Enjoy it while it lasts but to keep pace with the Dodgers Yankees and Astros for nearly a month is very cool. In your case, your team is keeping pace with the Marlins for nearly a month. In all seriousness, what's also really nice about that is none of the teams listed there are in the NL East besides us.
June 5, 20197 yr I'd be shocked if that happened. 1. Having 4 to 5 draft picks hit in 2 years is beyond difficult. 2. You cant built all around organizational depth with really one good draft. Finishing .500 doesnt do you any good. It doesnt get you into the playoffs. It doesnt do anything but sound warm and fuzzy and get you lower draft picks and lower draft pools monetarily. Especially if you do it with an assortment of veterans around. Thats even more useless long term. I mean if you trade away veterans and kids come up and do it, thats fine in that respect. Going back and really analyzing the Marlins picks... No way are 4 to 5 of the draft picks in this draft contributors to the MLB club in 2020 or 2021 and if they are, its fringy not really all that great from 2 to 3 of them. Bleday could yes. Misner we will see, I'm not nearly as high on him as some others. He fell for a reason.
June 5, 20197 yr Misner we will see, I'm not nearly as high on him as some others. He fell for a reason. Isn't the reason an ankle injury that killed his numbers? Because if it's that and he's healthy again then it should be easy for him to rise back up. The injury might have been a blessing for the Marlins to have him fall to them.

The injury might have been a blessing for the Marlins to have him fall to them. I know he had a foot injury in 2018 but I dont know of any ankle injury in 2019.
June 5, 20197 yr [ATTACH]3022._xfImport[/ATTACH] Don't get too excited guys, OBVIOUSLY Tuesday was the high point of the season. It's all downhill from here.
June 5, 20197 yr Don't get too excited guys, OBVIOUSLY Tuesday was the high point of the season. It's all downhill from here. I don't think that's what was meant by that - they're right, so far Tuesday has been the high point. 16-0 victory. It could improve.

Misner we will see, I'm not nearly as high on him as some others. He fell for a reason. I would be perfectly fine if by 2021 Bleday was the only one MLB ready. Having him in LF or RF alongside Monte Harrison or maybe even Brinson if he gets it together would be nice. I find it just as important for the Marlins to continue to be smart about developing the players and watching the service clock. Doesn't make sense to see Isan or Monte until August 1st. When people were clamoring for Zach Gallen to come up in late April early May it made no sense. He wouldn't make much of difference here anyway right now.
June 5, 20197 yr In your case, your team is keeping pace with the Marlins for nearly a month. In all seriousness, what's also really nice about that is none of the teams listed there are in the NL East besides us. Also means IMO that no one has really run away with the East. Phillies and Braves will probably end up going down to the wire in September. Braves have a better lineup right now. If they can shore up that bullpen they will be the better team to beat. The Mets collapse is something we all pretty much predicted and I certainly can't wait.
June 6, 20197 yr Marlin fillet is delicious. If any of you are in Miami they have it at Don Camaron on NW 6 street and 37 avenue across from the casino. Dont hide it’s flavor by putting it in a sandwich though. It’s gotta be as a steak and grilled.
June 6, 20197 yr Only 8 back in the loss column for the wild card, ignore the fact every other team is ahead of them though please.
June 6, 20197 yr Only 8 back in the loss column for the wild card, ignore the fact every other team is ahead of them though please. 100% ignored, World Series here we come!

June 6, 20197 yr Should at least be 0.1, come on! Not sure if you're joking but I feel like you are right. If they aren't mathematically eliminated then how can their chances be at 0.0%? Seems like that isn't logical.
June 6, 20197 yr Not sure if you're joking but I feel like you are right. If they aren't mathematically eliminated then how can their chances be at 0.0%? Seems like that isn't logical. Exactly, I am serious.
June 6, 20197 yr Not sure if you're joking but I feel like you are right. If they aren't mathematically eliminated then how can their chances be at 0.0%? Seems like that isn't logical. It would be because it's rounded down. If statistically their chances are <.05, then it's going to look like 0.0% due to rounding at the tenths. Don't tell me the odds though WS HERE WE COME!
June 6, 20197 yr It would be because it's rounded down. If statistically their chances are <.05, then it's going to look like 0.0% due to rounding at the tenths. Even rounding down it's misleading. Because 0.0 means completely nonexistent... even if it's less than .05 that's not zero. I know I'm just debating math terms at this point. Oh well.
