Why anybody would risk Bender for an 8th inning massacre in a losing season when he’s been demoted for a similar situation is....Almost Donnie like. I mean, that happened exactly one time, but I guess I get your point. Also, Bender isn’t the closer or even the setup guy yet. Floro/Yimi will be pitching 8th & 9th when they’re available again lol.

July 6, 20215 yr 1 hour ago, Michael said: Worth noting. Fantastic tweet but ending it with just "baseball" probably sums up the front office's ho hum attitude, shrugging their shoulders and thinking our record sucks by chance and bad luck as opposed to holding themselves accountable for the things they can control which they haven't done a good job of controlling. I could definitely see Jeter and Ng going "eh, baseball!" when being confronted about this shit show.
July 8, 20215 yr Don does not know what an opener is so he has Ross Detwiler going through the Dodgers lineup more than once. Reason #123456789 to fire him.
July 8, 20215 yr Donnie made a comment last night that if half of their one run losses went the other way they'd be in great shape now... is anyone gonna tell him how so many of those losses are his own fault?

July 8, 20215 yr ALSO fun question.... if there is no baseball in 2022 (a real possibility) then maybe the Marlins are doing the smart thing here..... So are the Marlins hedging their bets on a prolonged work stoppage and seeing 2022 as a lost year in terms of its even dumber to bring in someone new and not give them a real shot at it?
July 8, 20215 yr Does a baseball message board even exist if there isn’t a thread to fire the manager?
