It took an ERA under 1.00 (0.71 to be exact) with half a season gone by just for Bender to be the closer.  

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.

I can’t believe I even assume that Bender was our new closer.   What was I thinking.

someone has to serve the ice cream

Don't you pay ANY attention to the media members of the Marlins? The ice cream machine is always broken.

We don’t need a scooper; we have Joe Frisaro.

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. 

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.

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?

Because Donnie isn't using an opener, he's using a reliever as the starting pitcher. There's a difference.

Both can be true haha

well, this thread may as well be locked at this point - until next season anyway

Anyone who has watched the Marlins this year knows a Donnie extension doesn't mean we can't still ask for his firing.

pointless though since it won't serve any purpose until he starts mismanaging games next season.  reopen it next year like a time capsule!

Except his mismanaging this year didn't get him fired.....why would we expect different next year?

Well, we still have game day threads too but why should we expect any different outcome for the season at this point 🙂

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?
