TheMarlinsProject Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Alex Gonzalez appreciation day would be better. He was a longtime loyal Marlin and he played a key role in the Cubs losing to the Marlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SongInTheAir Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 One of two things happened: 1. This was supposed to be a real thing but once the Marlins saw the backlash they tried to backtrack by saying it was never meant to be real. 2. This was a joke graphic made by the Marlins design team meant to be kept in house, but someone (likely now fired) released it as a real thing. 80% chance it's 1, 20% chance it's 2. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regard to the second one there - how many of y'all have your "peace out I won the lotto and this company is shite" emails ready if you ever win the jackpot? I've had mine ready for years ha. Sadly my chief complaints are still the same all during this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on paying them off and temporarily crippling my area when I leave. Even if it costs a million bucks to get all of them to leave I would feel ecstatic and it would be well worth the price of admission.

Admin Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 They definitely threw this new one together in a hurry. I believe the Bartman one was the intended one and they changed it due to the backlash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we've been a joke of a franchise the last 15-20 years, why not continue the trend lol. On 4/15/2023 at 2:12 PM, SonOfJack said: Why would they have created the graphic if they didn't plan to have it? I've made stupid joke graphics before, but you'd knowingly save it somewhere else (say on the desktop vs. the server) with a different name to avoid any chance of it actually going out. So either whoever made this is a moron and didn't save it elsewhere, or 2) they actually intended to do it, which is somewhat funny, but pretty stupid.

SilverBullet Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I've made joke memes for my friends but they don't show up in my work emails so I don't buy the joke excuse. And even if that somehow happened, don't they proof read emails before sending them out? I have to assume multiple people see these emails before they go out so there's no way this was a mistake, this doesn't just accidentally get sent out.

Yea but this is different, this seems like they're purposely making humorous slogans for all these homestands and I really hope it's on purpose and that it continues.
