Our season being bookended by a 4-0 victory over the Brewers in our only March game and an 0-4 loss to the Brewers in our only October game feels appropriate

Bench coach is most like an assistant coach. It's generally who steps in when the manager's rear end is in the jackpot.

Sydin posted:I'm pretty convinced at this point Cody is gone. Both Jed and Ricketts fielded questions about re-signing him in very neutral terms, pretty much "yeah he was really good for us but we'll see what happens in FA." Compare to Hendricks, who both not only showered praise on but all but said at a minimum they'd pick his option up but would preferably try to work out a longer extension. I don't think any of this is unreasonable, Kyle is a decision that is ours alone to make if we want it and Cody is not.

Sydin posted:Wait what, why wouldn't he be draft eligible until 2024? It sounds like he'll be living in the US and going to a US university, wouldn't this make him eligible like any other "normal" prospect? It depends on the type of college. If it's JuCo or Community College you can declare at any time, if it's a four-year school you can't declare until after three years. It's why you see teams draft HS players in late rounds to lure them away from college, cuz otherwise they're gone for three seasons.

Legendary Ptarmigan posted:You may be on to something. I don't necessairly mind the Wildcard series being BO3 as a reward to teams that win their division (thus bypassing the more "random" round), but at minimum the Division Series should be BO7 like subsequent rounds. Virtually a rounding error of all players in the league play north of 155 games per year, so just bag a few and save the pitching. I agree with pretty much this entire post.

https://twitter.com/TylerKepner/status/1713913280144548114 "Last week, Bruce (Sherman) and I discussed his plan to reshape the Baseball Operations department. In our discussions, it became apparent that we were not completely aligned on what that should look like and I felt it best to step away. I wish to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to the Marlins family and its fans for my time in South Florida. This year was a great step forward for the organization, and I will miss working with Skip and his coaches as well as all of the dedicated staff in baseball operations and throughout the front office. They are a very talented group and I wish them great success in the future." His vision is definitely "we need to spend less"

I lost my dad about 15 years ago and very suddenly, too young to process it properly. A lot of my fondest memories are sports and baseball-related. I would have loved for him to have been here in 2016, he probably would have ended up living with us for the entire month of October heh. Kevlar's dad has really been like a second dad to me, a truly incredible man and I love him a ton. gently caress ALS.

Jeff Kent was the one who yelled about Obama after being voted out lol. But John Rocker exposed himself as a huge coward and it was hilarious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIQGWY0woy0

IP/start has been dropping steadily since like 2014, we were only slightly above 5.0 in 2023 alone. Not sure this MATTERS enough to warrant a rule change, but I would imagine that's the reason behind this rumbling This is also going to include openers who are only intended to go 1-2 innings, so the data is gonna be skewed for however many of those there are (not many)
