Samson: "I Promise You This: We're Not Going to Lose 100 Games Next Year"

[Chewford]

Almost as inspiring as Tebow's promise.

[Beef]

We will lose 115.

Ehe, this is a good one.

[Fritz]

Not 100, not 99, not 98, not 97, not 96...

[Namaste]

Strong contribution.

Incredibly weak way of handling.

[Bobbob1313]

Fair.

[HUGG]

Here's the rest of his quote:

Look what the Red Sox did. They had the same record we did in 2012. They turned it around to be in the World Series in 2013. Well it’s time for us to do the same.”

What does us having the same record as the Red Sox in 2012 have to do with anything?

[Bobbob1313]

That he wants the team to improve.

[Nick]

ok, but what does that have to do with us having the same record as them in 2012? Why not just say "Look at the way the Red Sox got it turned around"? Cuz in case he didn't notice we did the opposite of what the Red Sox did in 2013.

[Mainge]

The Red Sox had the same record in 2012 as we did in 2013. The Red Sox turned it around the following year and made the World Series. Perhaps the Marlins can do so too.

This isn't that hard.

Actually I don't even know now. That doesn't make sense either.

The Marlins had the same record as the Red Sox in 2012. Both teams finished at 69-93. The Marlins lost 100 games last season, 7 games worse than the season before. Samson's comments make no sense.

The Red Sox also spend money, and wisely at that, don't see the Marlins doing that.

[Mainge]

Yeah I figured that out.

I think he probably said something in passing and was trying to point out that things can turn around quickly and it shouldn't be dissected too much.

[Namaste]

Thread has a ton of long term potential, boys!

[Beef]

His point was pretty clear. They turned it around, hopefully we can too.
