Astros @ Marlins Series Thread May 2017

Koehler optioned to AAA. Surprised he still has options at 31 years old.

[AdamRavs]

Can we option the whole fucking pitching staff except Straily?

Went to the game tonight. they didnt have enough alcohol in the fucking building. Loria will still trade away the farm come july 31st for that one reliever will put this last place team over the edge though!!!

Btw, not to beat a dead bush but Tom Koehler is another example of the team failing to sell high. was obvious from the second he came to the bigs he was not a starter, but rather than get something quality for him after a solid year as a 4th/5th starter 2-3 ago, we let him regress in the rotation to where he is now a liability. This team fucking sucks. Going to the game tonight was pathetic. Not even loria showed up tonight.

Kenley Jansen, Mark Melancon, or Chapman would have turned this around though!!

Lol the only team that thought Koehler was a rotation arm was this one. Shoulda been done after 2013.

[Namaste]

Epstein would have made Koehler a 6th/7th inning one and done guy 3 years ago.

Amazing what happens when u dont add guys to the 40 man if they don't have to be or for just 1 game

Not true alot of teams see Koehler as a innings eater(as in he takes the ball every 5th day no matter what) however he should have been a power RP like David Hernandez was a few years ago.

Christian Colon on 25 man,Aviles DFA

Koehler to NOLA,Despaigne called up(guess Mike Hill didn't see his first start)

Tazawa on DL with rib cartlidge inflammation(hopefully made up otherwise this could be a 2 month injury easy-not like it matters with how crappy he been BUT I had intercoastal strain before and barely could lift my arm without pain),Ellington called up

Good article by Rosenthal about how they should blow up the team

[tjfla]

You do realize that it will still be Loria & Co. making that pick right? And maybe the next pick too, depending on when the sale is completed.

Me and a few friends talked about this last night and got a good laugh. Right now we are getting a Top 3 pick and the "Top 3 for the 2018 Draft as of right now" are

OF Seth Beer
HS RHP Kumar Rocker 6'4 240lbs
RHP Luken Baker 6'4 265lbs

Its like a Jeff Loria wet dream. 2 guys bigger than Tyler Kolek!!

[fish16]

It honestly is kind of perfect and such a great example of the overall experience of Loria being the owner that he is going to sell this team when it has the worst record in baseball, the worst farm system in baseball, an absurd amount invested in bad contracts for the foreseeable future, and probably the worst front office by far in baseball.

*on top of a fanbase that could not be more apathetic about this entire franchise in an overwhelmingly latin market.

The Marlins get shut out by the Astros 3-0 and finish home stand 1-8. Fish have now lost 17 of 21 games.

Ideally we would play better than this.
