I appreciate the Small Pod daily. I recently decided to see and participate in the Marlins "X" community that I hear much about, for example, on Peter Pratt's "Locked on Marlins" podcast. Perhaps the Marlins' history provided the impetus for the undertones of sarcasm and skepticism. The poor start has added a real vitriolic streak, which contains a weird desire for a doomed season. As a relative newcomer to the Marlins (2021), is this "normal" for Twitter/X? Following the Expos for most of my life, I saw many fans go to the dark side and stay there, no matter what, everything was framed as useless or even karmic. I truly think Bendix will make a significant difference over a reasonable amount of time (even with ownership constraints).

I think it is more on how Marlins fans have experienced Baseball for their whole history.

 

We will have 1 good year and then the next year we immediately firesale or blow up the roster due to "financial constraints". We have just seen this dance before is all.

Let me know what your account name (handle) is over there and I'll follow you!

Particularly during games, it's a place littered with unhinged overreactions.
