'98 Marlins Watch

2012 Fish were 39-42 at the halfway point

[Omar]

Im no math expert, but 81 games is the halfway point. We have 30 wins, the projected record should be 60-102.

You're right. I had typed San Diego as 'SD' in one cell and 'SDG' in another.

[HUGG]

We'd have to go 40-40 the rest of the way to win more than last year's team.

I find that highly unlikely (especially since we keep playing Brantly and costing ourselves games).

[Namaste]

As much as I don't like him, losing Nolasco is not going to help us in the quest to win 40 more games.

But that's my own unscientific speculation.

[Bobbob1313]

It probably won't hurt.

[HUGG]

I mean, it makes sense to assume it would hurt, but we're only 5-12 (.294) when he starts anyway.

[HUGG]

32-47 (.405) to avoid losing 100, that's all I'm hoping for (LOFTY GOALS!)

[Namaste]

If you're going to go scorched earth (and this board prides itself on not getting emotional about the FO and their decisions) why would fans care about not losing 100?

Lose 115 and get a better draft pick, no?

Isn't it all about 2014 and beyond, boys?

[Erick]

Winning is always more fun.

[Namaste]

Fun is too EMOTIONAL

Winning (this year) is -EV toward the goal of making the playoffs sooner.

[Erick]

I'm not sure that it is. Why do you think that? In the upcoming draft, it seems like the one "can't miss" (if there is such a thing) prospect is Rodon. I feel like, no matter what, we're not getting Rodon because there's no way we're worse than the Astros the rest of the way.

Plus, I think that winning is good for development, too.

Is there a guy in the draft that you really don't want to miss out on? We're going to end up with another top-5 pick anyway even if we start winning some more.

[Nick]

I think Daft is Thing'ing.

[HUGG]

Yeah if we pick 5th instead of 2nd we're FUCKED
