    No way that I am breaking the vibe. Marlins sweep. Conine is MVP.
  2. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Beef on the hoof.
  3. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Prescient.

    Enjoyed the article. Don't get the signing. Oh, well. It's going to be utterly forgettable anyway, I bet. What's for lunch?

    Unfortunately, 74-88. Big year: Norbs "Mervis 2026": Morel, of course. Skipped games: Dodgers and Yankees (watch MiLB during those series for my mental health). Later, brother, and thanks: Former Expo Tommy Hutton. He played for other teams, but I don't remember or care. Lol. Cheers.

    I think this year will be bittersweet. Last season, the stars aligned with lots of mediocre WC contenders and an uncharacteristic Braves swoon. For the Fish this season, 74-88. Hope like hell that they overachieve, of course.

    That's a trek, for sure. I'm old, nothing else to do, so I split my year between Louisville and Jax, with a couple of Jax to Miami road trips. Cheers
  8. THOMAS JOSEPH
    I'm in total agreement.

    Great to see new season optimism. Marlins sweep. MVP: Connor Norby

    Not a believer in this guy. He sure looks like both the definition of middling, and utterly superfluous, to my mind. Funny, Bendix didn't call me about it, though.

    I'm heading back to Jax for a few months, and frankly, catching a bunch of Shrimp games will be the highlight of the trip. They're destined for another season win total much better than the big league team, as much as I hate to state that.
  12. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Nice looking.
  13. THOMAS JOSEPH
    A middling old vet. Geez.
  14. THOMAS JOSEPH
    It's nice to be on the OD roster, but we all know it's ineluctably fluid.
  15. THOMAS JOSEPH
    I wager Norbs will be one of the best players on the team this season.
  16. THOMAS JOSEPH
    The Marlins will likely use a ton of bullpen guys again this season. Don't all teams?
  17. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Damn, I hope I am not turning into a David Samson, because my first thought here was how sweet it would be if McCambley got the last out in the game that eliminated the Phillies from the playoffs this year. Come to think of it, any Marlins pitcher would be fine in that scenario. Lol.
  18. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Interesting perspective. I don't know who this Bam fellow is, nor am I even motivated to search, but I get the premise. Cheers.
  19. THOMAS JOSEPH
    This means two years of precious career time.
  20. THOMAS JOSEPH
    It is early, indeed. I don't find it necessary to hope traded players fail - that's bad karma - but frankly, Cabrera's injury proclivity was the factor for me. I figure about five starts before there is an issue. Weathers, same thing. To my mind, physical injury issues just follow players, keeping them from gaining career traction and adding them to the what-might-have-been discussions between fans. As always, we will see, especially in the context of "winning a trade." Cheers.

    I appreciate Fish on First content.

    I think we can see Alcántara's path with the Marlins more clearly now. Without much payroll pressure as the team is now constituted, we can realistically envision Sandy stays with the team. The CBA (and to a lesser extent, the television revenue projections) are the wild cards, as I see it, He can be reasonably extended with a properly revamped CBA, especially if we take him at his word that he wants to remain in Miami. So, if he is not moved at the trade deadline (which likely means a significantly underachieving team performance), I see hope and options that will go a long way to breaking the streak of obligatory trading of stars, especially homegrown ones.
  23. THOMAS JOSEPH
    It is wonderful to have true depth competitions and the infrastructure for conveyor belt talent to the Marlins.
  24. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Plenty of reasons for pitching optimism, to my mind. The other side of the coin is how the player's union will once again hurt the younger, lesser paid players during next year's lost season. Average careers and the associated income path raise every season to huge, irreplaceable value for these young guys without long-term deals. Many will not recover their careers or income paths at all. Meanwhile, safeguarding the top ten or fifteen percent of players is the union's hill to die upon. I'm fine with no caps and raising minimum salaries as long as the CBY decuples (or somewhere close). To my thinking, such huge penalties would serve the low- and mid-revenue teams, combined with the heretofore poor performance of monster contracts themselves and low drafting, the high-revenue teams would be sufficiently punished.

    Enjoyed the show and repartee.
