Yeah but flip offense and pitching on our end and it’s essentially the same thing. Maybe not this year in particular but when the Staff is Sandy, Eury, Cabrera, Luzardo, and Sixto, a “good enough” offense might be just enough to do the same as they did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Mish & Jackson notes! https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/mlb/miami-marlins/article272596634.html - AJ Puk dealing with a minor leg injury, will attempt to throw a bullpen in the next couple days. - Marlins looking at Fortes and Groshans as backup first base options, as well as Arraez [and play Berti at second] when Coop needs days off from field. - Glenn Geffner lashed out at the franchise saying his non-renewal was due to money, not the provided reason of "a more conversational approach on the radio instead of statistics."

Quote “ Good for them. They save a few bucks, and the product suffers.” I like Geff and I get he is bitter about it especially if they are leaking out false info, but this quote was kind of a dick thing to say. Sielaff did nothing to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to guess he meant more that the fans don't get the statistics education, but yes it can certainly be read that way that going from himself to Sielaff is a downgrade.

fish53 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I was OK with Geff. Some of his delivery and inflections, putting emphasis on the end of sentences (that is the best way I can describe it) was a bit annoying, but overall a competent professional with a good voice.

rmc523 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Well, they jettisoned Rich Waltz for the same reason years ago, so it wouldn't be surprising that it was over money even if they won't admit it. I hate getting rid of broadcasters that have been with the team for so long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they do something wrong you can never get rid of those guys and have it be considered any good. Teams should just wait until those guys retire or choose to leave, firing them without actual justification is awful all around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfJack Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 This is just my opinion/guess, because I obviously have no idea what really happened... I don't think it was financially motivated because I can't imagine Geff was making anything outrageous compared to what Sielaff is now making. Sure, he'd be higher paid but it can't possibly be THAT significant. I think the bigger reason for the change is they wanted to go younger. They obviously can't say that's the reason since there are age discrimination laws and all. But that's my take on it. They wanted a "young" voice who could resonate with the younger fans more. Someone who is more in-tune with what the young folks think and the words/phrases they may use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think he really plans to go with whoever is the best matchup in the seventh, eight and ninth rather than holding a guy back so he can pitch the 9th.
