"They didn't say anything about [my 17 homers and 60 RBI]. They didn't say anything about maybe the reason I was hitting .240 was getting the guy over to third rolling over groundballs, not worrying about average.

This reminds me of the time the Grays demoted a 'mate to the bottom of the Long Island Sound for some ill-advised, lascivious telegrams.
That's a line in the sand. Across this, you do not--by the way, LoMoZephyrs is so great. Chewie has always been my fave but he's so much more now. First ballot SFMHOF'er
OMG, the more quotes I hear from LoMo, the worse he sounds.
"I was about to get treatment on my knee and my arm that I just left on the warning track, but I got called into the office right there," Morrison said. "I had no idea what it was. They said, 'We exercised the right to option you to Triple-A,' and I walked out."
Morrison asked for the reasoning behind the team's decision, and he feels he did not get much of a response.
"They didn't give me anything," Morrison said. "I asked for an explanation and the one I got was, 'What are you hitting, .240?'"
Even after being released, Helms was grateful to the Marlins for giving him an opportunity when seemingly no one else wanted to a few years ago.
"I owe Florida a lot," Helms said. "They gave me an opportunity in '06, and we built a great relationship. I had some good years here and got to know these young guys well. I wish them the best. They were good to me.
"I'm not bitter at all. I can understand that I struggled. It happens. Every player struggles, and this is just my time to go. No hard feelings to them. Hopefully I'll land somewhere else, play one or two more years, and you never know: Maybe I'll manage these young guys someday."
Morrison was one of the young players Helms was closest to on the Marlins, and the veteran offered him some advice before leaving the clubhouse Saturday night. But even with Helms' wisdom, Morrison was still incensed with the team's decision.
"We're going to bring up a couple of other guys and look at them," manager Jack McKeon said.
Yeah, I have to give Helms credit. He's sucked all year, there's no reason to make the move now, if anything, it's less fair for him. A release two months ago likely lets him catch on with another team, now rosters are mostly set pending injury. Yet he sounds exponentially better than that douche LoMoZephyrs.

So...does the Matt Dominguez era begin?

Reason: Doublepost Merged
No offense but his arguments (like "maybe I'm hitting .240 to roll the ball over to score the run") Are exactly like the ones you use to defend volstad all the time
Anyway, pretty shocked but lomo needs to stfu and take it. Glad helms is gone but props to him for handling it well

I am having an argument with people right now defending LoMo, calling the Marlins' FO "morons" and saying they "can't wait" until LoMo gets dealt because it would make "everyone happy." lol.
They also said he was in the right to criticize Hanley. Surprise surprise.
