Posted April 9, 20222 yr Mattingly sucks. Bass sucks. Should have had a nice comeback win today but no. (Sigh) here we go again.
April 9, 20222 yr Bullpen fucking blew after the 7th Mattingly needs to learn how to shift - and why does he still put Bass in to pitch the 10th? Bass proves last year he sucks The offense failed in the 10th and that was the middle of the order... I know it's Game 1, but this team will lose these close games until they spend and get that big elite clutch bat, they sure as hell can't draft and develop them...

April 9, 20222 yr I’m all in for firing Don Mattingly. I’m not sure if his information is wrong or if it’s just coincidence, but I’ve never seen a team get screwed by shifts as much as the Marlins get screwed by shifts.

Shifting when Sandy throws 99 seems especially stupid since ball is pulled less
April 9, 20222 yr Just so frustrating - lots of good things happen late with a great comeback and that goes up in smoke on two pitches. Then they make a great play to eliminate the ghost runner and still manage to lose in the same inning. All in all I like the look of the lineup. The bullpen is extremely suspect - Bender and Bass have good stuff but when they are put in clutch situations they usually dont get it done.
April 9, 20222 yr Author At least Holloway is looking good tonight in his sta-- oh. He had two good innings then imploded. Weird.
April 9, 20222 yr the BA at bat was stupid. Putting Bender in there in the 9th was what we all wanted so I don't think any of us can blame him for that. That Scott dude from the Orioles looked nasty with his pitches. If Mel can get him straightened out and he learns a little bit more control that's your closer right there. Really wish they had Holloway up for the pen. Bryan Reynolds please. Could have made the difference in this game. STALLINGS IS A GOLDEN GOD

I know it's only game 1, but I honestly feel the same - with Mattingly at the helm, we're going to lose by the stupid shifts and whatnot. 18 minutes ago, Erick said: I’m all in for firing Don Mattingly.

His option never should've been picked up.
April 9, 20222 yr What a shame to lose that game. What is Cooper doing leaving the bag on that ground ball. You learn that in little league. How can Donnie baseball stay with Bass when he walks the next batter after the bang bang play. It’s only one game but more of a long trend
April 9, 20222 yr Damn, it's just opening day but already showing all the issues of this new Ng's team, she better do something now ……shit, I forgot the off-season is over already.

How can Donnie baseball stay with Bass when he walks the next batter after the bang bang play. It’s only one game but more of a long trend Don had to leave Bass in because of the three batter rule. Ruf walking was only his second batter remember. So ... hand tied there. Could have used Armstrong perhaps to start the inning instead. Meh. Cooper leaving the bag didn't bother me so much, cause if he went straight back to third, they turn a double play anyways and the inning is over regardless. Don bringing in Anderson to face the lefty right after when he is terrible against lefties and still had De La Cruz on the bench was another nail in the coffin here. Guarantee Anderson starts tomorrow against Rodon, though. Welcome to the board!
April 9, 20222 yr If Donnie puts Andy in to start tomorrow against the lefty and he strikes out multiple times, I will be livid. Are we sure that he should not be investigated for throwing games? Edited April 9, 20222 yr by FishFan95
April 9, 20222 yr Richard Bleier told Don Mattingly he was not ready to pitch. Don Mattingly put Richard Bleier into the 8th inning of a one run game. Don Mattingly is the worst manager in baseball.
