'98 Marlins Watch

So you think this is the team's true talent level?

[el nino]

As crappy as Lomo has the potential of looking, I think his absence in the lineup is a huge factor in our pitifulness. Lomo in the lineup allows Polanco to get on base in front of Stanton, and Stanton seeing a man consistently on base in front of him could change some things in his mental approach. And if you don't believe in the mental aspect of his failures in the early season, then you believe he will turn it around eventually, and it would be better to have men on base when he finally turns it around.

And of course backing Stanton up with Lomo is considerably better than backing him up with Polanco and Dobbs. Dobbs of the bench is more useful than Dobbs starting everyday, etc. I think this offense misses Lomo more than we realize.

Pretty close. I think we've played a very tough schedule early this season so by default we won't keep up this bad of a pace, but I'd be very surprised if we approach 60 wins.

[HUGG]

Marlins are playing at an 81 win pace over their last 4 games

[Ramp]

definitely looking forward to seeing this bad boy updated today!

Adeinny!

[Branch]

Over their last 1 games, the Marlins are playing at a 162-0 pace.

True talent level, baby.

[Ramp]

man, the 4-10 Padres are pulling away!

[Nick]

How is the normal projected record calculated?

Because if you just project out our current record over 162 games, our record would be 35-127

You're right, I missed a step on Excel.

[Namaste]

At least we are young and shitty instead of oldish, overpaid and still shitty. Everyone we have traded away has been dogshit cept Fuck Buck. But it's a contract yr for him so take it with a grain of sand

You said this.

So Reyes has been dogshit because he got hurt?

Baseball players get hurt. I know, I know, it's crazy but its true.

[Mainge]

He also gets hurt more often and for longer than most.

[Namaste]

Hurt: it's the new dogshit.

[Mainge]

I forgot how much a DL'ed Reyes contributes.

That's on me. Sorry.
