You could not ask for a worse start to the season. Just slowly falling apart in 3 of the first 5 games. 

You're gonna be around a lot, aren't you?

I think Berti was very over valued here.  He's a utility player.  That's it.  He was horrible defensively at SS.

I'll never understand why you think guys like Trevor Rogers are great and Berti is overrated. If anything Berti was VERY undervalued here (especially here)

I’m jokerfying into Canada marlin 2

Yeah.. the 24 in his name is because 2024 will be the year he will watch all the games.

Much better bat than TA

I haven't seen enough of TA to compare yet.  However,  I haven't seen him make any blunders, so far.  Also, Berti doesn't have enough arm strength to play SS, but TA does.

He did just come back from injury. The problem is Bendix and co thought slotted him right back into a high leverage guy with no easing in 

When will it not be a high leverage situation for the Marlins considering we only score in the first inning and then slowly let the lead slip away until the blowpen finishes the Bauer job

Incredible bullpen management tonight 

hit another 500 footer trout 

Look, I know it's easy to just want to burn the whole thing down after an unproductive off season and this terrible start to the season.

However,  this team isn't this bad.  They might not be a playoff team but they aren't a 90 plus loss team either.  This spring and this start is all on Skip.  This is a complete and total team meltdown.  

LOLOLOLILOL

Burch smith another Bendix diamond 

You guys think we’ll win a game this year?

Burch fucking Smith!  Why the fuck is this guy even on the team?  Not impressed at all by Bendix so far.

Meanwhile, Maldonado, Dane, and Banfield all rot in AAA.

Bendix actively wants this team to do poorly so he can firesale and avoid bad optics as much as possible since made playoffs . Need to look at all his moves through that lens and it makes sense

I'm glad they are delaying Eury's TJ to win 65 games this year.

Scott, bell, arraez and lizard all gone by deadline 

Both the Orioles in 2018 and Tigers in 2019 only won 47 games.

Marlins could actually win less games than that if they playing this way.

Yeah,  I can see that point of view.  However, I'm not sold.  Wouldn't he think that playing this poorly after acquiring a playoff team would reflect bad on him?  I sure think it does. First impressions are important.

This start is not all on Skip 😂

This start is 💯 on a shitty owner refusing to pay money to run a good franchise. This is definitely a 90 loss team especially with this current rotation and pen. If Eury doesn't need TJ, Braxton comes back and pitches like he did and Cabrera stops walking 4+ a game and then sure, not a 90 loss team. 

Failing to sign arms in the offseason thanks to a dogshit owner and his Penny pinching ways is the biggest reason we're 0-5

Yeah.. that’s a good point. It could have as well been overconfidence in his job interview as in telling Sherman he can make the Marlins a winning team while spending minimum money and increasing profits. 😂

His excuse can be it’s not his team (although he’s made it worse since joining). Bendix whole thing with the rays was selling players at value and keep that up forever.

The plan all along was to fire sale and let Bendix make his mark through trades which is what he did well with the rays

Ok.

 

You know I’ve been thinking for awhile that @sonofjack was actually Kim.

You see as soon as Kim was fired SOJ disappeared. Also as we all know that you are married to SOJ.. I’m starting to think that whole “oh I just happened to run into Kim at the stadium” perhaps it wasn’t a coincidence. 😳
