The manager was also fired in '03.... 

Sunday special lineup tomorrow, with Don thinking, "well we already won the series, time to get guys some rest" Dude manages like a little league coach, making sure everyone gets a chance to play. Ugh.

 

 

But anyway, was Pablo actually throwing 97, or is the Wrigley radar gun maybe a little generous? If he just put 3 mph on his fastball, that could be HUGE. 

On a side note, we see again why Bass should never...ever... pitch the 8th inning... even with a 10+ run lead

And replaced by a grizzled vet known for turn arounds. We calling Bruce Bochy?

It's because he's bad at pitching, right?

Once Floro pitched the 9th, it ruined the moment of wishful thinking, knowing Bender is still behind in order.

Last season, I made a huge post on this forum with comparisons between the ‘03 and ‘20 Marlins team/season.

I probably won’t do that again this season, but, I will say that in 2003, the Marlins started the season with a veteran left handed LF (Todd Hollandsworth) whose playing time vastly diminished when one of their top prospects was called up in June (Miguel Cabrera). 

Of course, it’s too early to know if we will see something similar with Sanchez and Dickerson, but if Hollandsworth were to get partially replaced mid season in the broadcast booth, I wouldn’t complain that much. 😂

Honestly.  Even if all we got was Todd out of the booth, I'd consider it a winning season lololol.

Do it again. Soon.

It’s still a little early for a post like that. I would wait until August, or even September, to see how things play out in the next couple of months regarding any trades or future call ups.

I do remember though, that in ‘03 the Marlins did have a pretty good Rookie LHP starting pitcher who made the All Star Game that year.

But in couple of months from now we should be able to see if we can notice any more similarities. 😂

Savant had a few 96.5-96.9 readings so he was there.

Guess Isan Diaz was our hitting coach.

The fired one or the new one ?

How about to call up Edward Cabrera now ?

Alfaro seems better than Contreras now, could we say the Alfaro of 2018 and 2019 is coming back !?

Patience. He has to build his arm up a little more. 

Hola!

Maybe Pablo's velo was up because the ball wasn't sticking to his hand anymore. That would also kinda be amusing if he was using something and now by not using it it makes him even better.

I wonder if this will actually happen with some pitchers
