We could only be so lucky to have a GM with that foresight. We know that isn’t possible when they can’t even make timely decisions now. Edited July 9, 20215 yr by FishFry

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? I don't quite understand this thinking - unless you're just talking about not wasting a year of a contract, usually a manager signs like a 3 year contract, so the new guy would get his shot either way the next year.

I dont really think it says anything about Donnie one way or the other and more about reading the room in general and if they did make a change giving that guy the best chance to succeed as possible. Having him starting up in a shortened season due to labor stife doesnt scream opportunity to put whatever culture is being tried to implement.
July 11, 20215 yr Why do people want to close it? It’s The Fire Don Mattingly Thread. Nowhere does it say it had to be this year. This has the potential to be the longest thread in mb.com history.

April 20, 20224 yr Pinch hit for Jazz in a close game with a struggling Soler just because the Cardinals brought in a lefty. Louis Head threw a total of nine pitches and Don took him out for the lefty Steven Okert when the Cardinals had two lefty crushers (Pujols and Edman) coming up immediately. Post merged from another thread.

April 20, 20224 yr not really sure i understand the moves Mattingly made tonight tbh. Sitting Soler was smart. Then it got dumb after that.
April 20, 20224 yr Author It obviously doesn't matter who we spend money on or trade for.... The Marlins will continue to lose games because of the fucking idiot manager #FireDon
April 20, 20224 yr People on Twitter were questioning if Jazz was suddenly hurt. That's how bad that move was.
