    Perfectly acceptable performance from Munoz. Great to see Bride getting some knocks. To focus on some other positives - fresh faces on the active roster, who are trying to make a name for themselves in MLB, ramp up the hustle and excitement. Not sweating the rough first game from Sowers at all.

    Marlins split the series with the Braves. MVP: Our new boy, Stowers. Just because. Ciao.

    On the FOF podcast, I think the consensus for players traded from the active roster was five. I thought six because there is always a surprise when there is a wave like this. Hoeing was that surprise for me, and I hate to lose his versatility. I had Chargois, Scott, De la Cruz, and Chisholm on the likely list. Now, I have to get up to par with all the new guys, see where all the dominoes fall, and even learn a few new uniform numbers. It adds interesting stuff for these otherwise uneventful last two months of the season.

    Best of luck to a good guy. Dude is nothing if not well-traveled! LOL.

    It was time. Rogers needs a chance of scenery, and the returns look good. Thumbs up.
  6. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Best of luck to JT in the Northwest.

    If nothing else, I'm happy for Braz to join a team with (surprising) playoff potential. Much rather see the Mets win than the Braves or Phillies as New York turns around their rough 2024 first half and the terrible 2023 season.

    Best of luck to DLC in the Steel City. I like to see a resurrected Pirate team. It's good for baseball.

    I thought Chargois would go, and Scott was a sure thing, but Hoeing was a surprise. In my opinion, he has been a valuable piece, doing whatever he was asked to do. His last three-inning outing against the Brewers epitomized that. Best of luck to those guys and Arraez. Beat LA.

    Assuming there isn't another IL stint, Cabrera needs to rise up for these remaining two months of the season. This could be his last extended starting opportunity with the Marlins.
  11. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Fingers crossed that Scott and Hoeing join Arraez in contributing to another Dodger letdown in the playoffs and even winning their first WS title. The Padres joined the league with the Expos in 1969, so I feel some kinship there. Excellent coverage with all the articles today and the podcast last night. There is so much material for you guys to cover and you rose to the task - a new roster with domino effects throughout the system. I know there is much more to come as the new players settle in, and so forth. The coverage last night was exciting, sometimes on the fly, and the chat was lively. I hope it is a peek of exciting Marlin fan engagement and competitiveness ahead in the Bendix era.

    I agree that we will hear Scott's deal sometime today or early this evening. Regarding Chisholm, it's good to see that the Yankees did not restrict his artistic expression by allowing him to wear a piece of monster bling. It is a basic human right, after all. LOL. Looking forward to the podcast this evening, as we all feel the rumblings of the next imminent trade(s).

    Marlins sweep the two-game series with the discombobulated Rays. MVP: Jake Burger. Thanks.
  14. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Our little Altuve? LOL.

    David Samson this Monday morning: "The Mariners are better off without him." "GMs don't care whether you're popular, they care about production." "Jazz Chisholm is an average Major League Baseball player." "He is not a difference-maker." My questions are: Where will he play, and will the Yankees allow Chisholm to wear all his bling on the field? I did get a kick out of seeing him wearing A-Rod's number 13. LOL.
  16. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Excellent outing by Hoeing, again proving his underappreciated value.
  17. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Thumbs up.
  18. THOMAS JOSEPH
    It's a reasonable viewpoint. We all can acknowledge that Cabrera can't overcome or even improve on his stressful innings issues unless he plows through when they happen. David Samson noted that these problems are why teams should not keep lame-duck managers. I realize the team probably felt no need to make a managerial change, incur wrath from fans, and incur additional costs since the outcome looked poor anyway. Still, Schumaker's business-as-usual play with the roster is fine and eminently defensible, but it's not helping individual players - Edwards, Myers, Cabrera - address significant growth obstacles in their games. This must be an evaluative season. Now, with Anderson gone, Edwards is showing what he can do. Of course, Myers is hurt, but he could/should have been playing a lot more. Cabrera is stuck in a rut, which may never change, although I reiterate that a team that is 30 games under breakeven must re-focus away from the manager's staid results issues. It means nothing to win 62 games versus winning 60 in the balance.

    Kudos for the efficient information of the just-completed trade. Preliminary thumbs up on the deal for Miami. Open for business...
  20. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Kudos on the quality and volume of Marlin material! Fans of this team must appreciate and get the word out about SuperSub value. Much appreciated. Good call from the Orioles series podcast - you called the second game with a good outing from Cabrera, Man, it's beating the dead horse, but I wish Schumaker would let him fight through his seemingly obligatory mid-game blowup—still, a good outing. Cabrera can extend past 90 pitches and needs to work on mental toughness. Every start cannot be 4-1/3 or 4-2/3 innings. Why isn't Skip pushing the envelope in this regard given the staff issues and the team record? It seems odd to me.
  21. THOMAS JOSEPH
    While he is healthy and playing well. He'd look good in the sea foam green,
  22. THOMAS JOSEPH
    It's good for him to go to work on a longer contract wherever it is - not happening with Miami, we know.
  23. THOMAS JOSEPH
    I would love to see the Orioles in the WS, especially since it means the Yankees won't be. Winning over the Phillies, Braves, or (best of all) the Dodgers would be sweet.
  24. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Love the old-school mentality, a quality possessed by all the greats (and my all-time favorite Expos player, Steve Rogers). There's simply no substitute for this drive.
  25. THOMAS JOSEPH
    This was a fun game to watch - quite welcome. Dare we get greedy and hope for a sweep? Why not! Beef of the game: I mentioned this on X. I don't understand Schumaker's removal of Cabrera (and Tyler, for that matter). How will these guys ever work through roadblock innings? Isn't this the season, with the team 30 games under breakeven, to work on such things? Cabrera's fifth-inning problem, a la Jesus Sanchez's lefty batting struggles, will not improve without playing. Bringing in another righthander, Brazoban, isn't the issue even if it is puzzling. Cabrera was at 90 pitches, not 109. Also, this is not outcome-based, despite the temptation to be fine with the move if no inherited runners scored. The Marlins need to see Cabrera's mettle in overcoming his mid-game blowups and pitch count issues. Period.
