Good for you! Enjoy a Marlins victory and some of that less expensive beer.

good to see them putting brinson at the top of the order. just keep him there and see what we have

Rosell Herrera, your opening day left fielder. lol

It's a lefty. We'll see what happens tomorrow

Not going to lie. All things considered, it's the right lineup.

Putting Walker in LF over Herrera and batting 7/8 would have been fine too.

I find it telling Herrera - superior defensively to Cooper - is in LF. I think this is saying Cooper has RF and they don't want to move him around.

Rosell Herrera starting because of a lefty on the mound is like the post-97 sell-off when Ryan Jackson was in the 98 Opening Day lineup over DLee because there was a righty on the mound and he was inexplicably the starting first baseman for like a week

or like when Mark Hendrickson started Opening Day for us that one time

It certainly is a fascinating lineup.

Leadoff hitter had a sub-.200 batting average in almost 400 ABs in 2018.
3-4-5 hitters combined for 13 HRs in 2018. (12 by Castro)
Starting LF'er got released by a team that might be worse than us.

I really hate carrying Herrera on the roster

the stadium is so much better without the sculpture. it feels more closed in instead of as big as it looked and felt before.

In other news, VVM is healthy and playing today. Looking forward to seeing how he does this year.

I had to google him.


We are in trouble boys.

So, we go with Herrera as our platoon guy vs. LHP, against whom he is a .187 career hitter! Makes sense to the Marlins.

Dean or O'Brien should be up in hisspot with Granderson being the backup CF

love the statue replacement with the 3 tiered thing

[Nick]

Who's ready for Chen?

[fish16]

could go without whatever this horn is in the background of the tv broadcast

Last thing id do to improve the ballpark is take out a bunch of seats in the upper deck right field and create another restaurant/bar/SRO area instead of all those seats. We dont need 37000 seats
