2025 Game Thread

[Namaste]

And we all know Bendix is going to ship anyone good (namely Sandy) out in the next month or two, so why invest too much into it?

It’s almost as if you don’t have several posts at marlinsbaseball.com in the last 24 hours.

Holy Shit, I forget that place exists.

is the WE BAD NEWS BEAR guy still there?

I think this tear down was just one too many, at least previously we could say, oh well when they get the stadium, oh well when they get a new owner, oh well when they get some analytical talent in the front office. All hope had gone. I'm fortunate i can watch the games when i eat my breakfast and on my commute. Not sure i would give up an evening...

And? Who cares dude? Thanks for telling me my forum habits. There’s more fun banter over there vs cage match over here…..

1) I wasn’t talking about just myself. I was talking about members as a whole and speculating as to why people aren’t posting here. Forum issues and team moves
2) this place has become nothing but a bitchfest back and forth between members (to which I’m contributing now, admittedly) that also drives people away

It’s far more active and fun than here lol.

don’t get me wrong, I appreciate this place and have been here longer (IIRC)

[Nick]

I will say that fix dgriot gave seems to have fixed the website completely for me. I've had no issues since then.

I agree with this 100%.

I was just pointing out that you were investing some time in the Marlins (just not at this forum).

Marlinsbaseball.com will outlast this place after fish16 drove lou, Lee etc away with all his teeth clenching, foaming at the mouth stuff.

It’s unfortunate. I’ve been posting with lou, MK7, Nick, Todd and others since I joined MB.com 20 years ago (literally).

ah yes, teeth clenching and foaming at the mouth stuff. aka, disagreeing with what they are saying and discussing it and not being a pathetic cheerleader for a team that has consistently betrayed the fanbase. ever think that maybe, just maybe, people dont want to invest time and energy into supporting a shit product that doesnt try to become a better product. lou said for numerous years that he would stop supporting the team if they didnt sign anyone in the offseason. Whether it was the correa year, or adames this past year. it was never going to happen. perhaps he got tired of waiting for something that very clearly will never come.

Yeah maybe I should go back. Our mass exodus was at least 15 years ago.

Yup that’s fair, and I have been following more than I intended, but I’m sure as the season goes on and as the team (likely) performs worse, I’ll drift off at least as far as following consistently. At the end of the day I’m still a fan and it’s hard to completely disconnect, though obviously interest is nowhere near what it used to be (must watch tv for all games, etc). And also part of not posting here vs there is if I come in here and see nobody has posted in a couple days, I’m not inclined to post anything either…I guess a sort of self fulfilling cycle if you will.

With the Lou posts for example, most of the time I just took the approach of - that’s a pie in the sky wish list but if he wants to take time to post a novel, go for it, vs the call out every post for being a novel .

it is unfortunate that folks have been driven away for multiple reasons.

I’d say fans are welcome all places! And Each forum has its own personality

[Nick]

I've done a 180 on Stowers. I thought he was a scrub, but now he looks like a completely different player.

[Nick]

Replacing Bride, Wagaman and Pauley with Norby, Sanchez and Ramirez would do wonders.

[Todd]

I still have high hopes for Pauley. He has been pretty unlucky so far and he is K at a higher rate and BB at a much lower rate than he did in MiLB.
