SilverBullet Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Apparently the Marlins might not finish 2019 with a winning record and they might be changing their manager again? [MEDIA=twitter]1168902464931864579[/MEDIA] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I'm not even going to click the link. They really went out on a limb with their "two realities". Both are pretty obvious and have been for months now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Both are pretty obvious and have been for months now. Even then, are they actually "painful"? And why would the organization be "anxiously awaiting" them? Both things seem to be part of the process at this point, almost like a side effect, and neither is gonna change anything, and I'd say neither one hurts the organization in relation to where they are in the process. The article also says these two things overshadow the fact that farm system has improved so much over the last two years... really? Is another losing season and a managerial change gonna actually put a damper on the farm system leaping over like 25 other teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was about the Dolphins, but I think it applies to the Marlins as well: [MEDIA=twitter]1168965098435751936[/MEDIA] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bret Hart Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Thanks for realizing this reality. I think everyone in baseball business knew these except Forbes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I would agree that the general narrative around an organization might not fully change until the plan becomes successful but I don't think it's fair to say that nobody will believe or buy into the plan until the end. There are many ways to gather more believers along the way if an organization can prove that they seem to be on the right track towards success. Perfect example being the Marlins farm system jumping up as much as they have... that has to have created more believers in the Marlins plan.

FishFan95 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Today the Marlins were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. I know that I did not see it coming and this hard hitting Forbes piece made me finally realize that maybe we do suck this year.
