Season Super Game Thread

Was at the game yesterday. Really fun game and my first game at Fenway. Brutal ending though. Such is the life of a Marlins fan. Mattingly leaving Guerrero in there for 40 pitches after he clearly didn't have it after 2 pitches and just long enough to not only blow the lead but for them to take the lead back was infuriating.

Fenway and Wrigley are the two stadiums i havent been to but want to go. Just feels like baseball games are different at those places.

As for mattingly, he is a truly awful manager. It might not matter this year or maybe even next, but he should not be the manager when we hopefully are back in contention. It really should not be as hard to find a manager who knows how to go by the numbers as it is. Mattingly's use of the bullpen has been truly horrific all year. His decisions seem like they are coming from spring games where there is a predetermined list of who is pitching today and when and never deviating from it.

Mish said DD passed thru waivers. Some reports said he didn't and some said he did.

Could see DD/Castro gone over next 2 days. Doubtful on Castro

Mid Level Prospect and IFA $(if team has any left) could get DD

Got an email today....said the "fan experience" at Marlins Park will be "enhanced".

So I bit and went to the website, and this is what it says.....

In 2019, Marlins Park will be the go-to destination for a first-class entertainment experience.

The street to seat experience will be enhanced by elevating the fan journey every step of the way; parking, safety and a standout game experience. We're infusing an authentic sense of Comunidad by introducing new Miami-centric additions to the ballpark.

Art within the ballpark perimeter will be accentuated, highlighting what is already being showcased along with introducing new art additions to the interior and exterior of the ballpark.

Wow I can't wait to go see even more "art" at the ballpark. So glad they are spending money on things that help us win games......

I mean, they can do both...

Sure they can, but we can assume from what we have seen so far, that's a pipedream. But damn let's spend a few million on art.....I swear Jeffrey Loria is still running things.

If you dont see how completely different this organization is being run now compared to Loria youre not paying attention. They're not fool proof, but theyre at least doing a ton of stuff to behave like a well run team in a small market should be run, and the off the field stuff will take years to build a rapport with fans like the heat have been able to achieve.

I highly doubt art is the only way they're going to improve things. This is only what they're ready to announce now.

It sounds as though they're going to reconfigure parts of the park and add new concession options and things too.

Of course you don't see the sarcasm in my post.....and just have to say something/

must have missed the sarcasm in your post considering it follows just about every other post youve ever made.

I think that's surprising. Dietrich is a pretty solid guy if deployed correctly, making no money, under control next year. We'd all be happy to get a free Dietrich for basically a $3.5+ million contract next year.

Guess we'll see.

[fish16]

I feel like they missed the opportunity to sell high on Dietrich and we might as well just keep him and let him play 1b every day since we dont have anything at the position and his value wouldnt bring back a significant return.

[fish16]

Random but Chris Paddack has had one of the most ridiculous minor league seasons ive ever seen. And his career numbers are crazy. 177 IP, 1.82 ERA, .80 WHIP, 230/20 K/BB ratio. A Jeffrey loria special.

[Erick]

Remember all those relievers we didn’t sell high on at the deadline? Yeah, well, they haven’t been very good since...
