7-0. WHEN DOES THIS MADNESS STOP!?

When the Dodgers move back to Brooklyn.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

A hit!

THE RALLY HAS BEGUN!

So much for that.

People are really taking the first day of exhibition games seriously.

Zero fucks are given here.

 

[Macattk15]

If you're following gameday, their pitch count is all wrong in ST. All K's are 3 strikes no balls, all walks are 4 balls no strikes, and everything else is one pitch.

Wat?

I haven't seen a single thing like that watching the Mariners gameday.

I'm also listening to the radio broadcast.

Franklin walked on 8 pitches before this.

It depends if the stadium they're playing in has Pitch F/X or not.

The Pedro Feliciano medical world tour continues.

haha oh man.

“We need more Cowgill!” David Wright playfully shouted in the clubhouse after watching Cowgill’s aggressiveness on TV.

Oh this is going to catch on MARVELOUSLY as long as he can stay on the field.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Just saw a picture of John Lackey. Holy shit he doesn't even look like the same guy. He's in shape.

 

[RBH]

When do deals for MLB.tv usually start to first pop up? And how much of a discount has been seen in the past?

 

[Dre3001]

Did Prince Fielder lose 30 pounds or something?

Watching the Tigers- Jays replay on MLB network and he looks alot smaller

 

[CygnusXS]

Hopefully Teheran doesn't repeat his 2012 ST performance tomorrow.

 

[jello44]

Lose to the Astros. Good thing it's still spring training.

You say that like they wouldn't have beaten them in the regular season anyway.

 

[Fenix]

Russel Martin has withdrawn from Team Canada because the Pirates were concerned about him playing shortstop.

He didn't want to play catcher because of the grind it would add on top of the regular season.

He looks very different, but with still the same goofy face intact.

It’s no secret that last season was not our best — actually it was one of our worst. In large part, our performance on the field stunk and something needed to be done. As a result of some bold moves, many grabbed hold of our tough yet necessary decision only to unleash a vicious cycle of negativity. As the owner of the ballclub, the buck stops with me and I take my share of the blame where it’s due. However, many of the things being said about us are simply not true. I’ve sat by quietly and allowed this to continue. Now it’s time for me to resond to our most important constituents, the fans who love the game of baseball.

Loria, go burn in a fire. But don't die.

 

[Sanjuro]

Greatest owner in sports.

 

[ph33nix]

I wanT to quote the whole letter because just about every sentence is disgusting

 

[JABEE]

Greatest owner in sports.

Just read it. hahahahahahahaahaha

 

[Fenix]

Jays v O's on radio,
Jays v Yankees on MLB.tv
1993 WS Game 1 on TV.

Too much baseball.

Edit: Holy shit, Guzman had 110 walks in 1993?

 

[Sanjuro]

Just read it. hahahahahahahaahaha

He shares my viewpoint of Florida sports. Can't argue with that.

This part is my personal favorite:

The fact is, with your help, we built Marlins Park, a crown jewel in our beautiful Miami skyline

Whatever you say, buddy!

 

[ph33nix]

I like how he "shares some blame" and then at the end says shit like "I helped bring a world series" no you fucking didn't

I just don't even

This part is my personal favorite:

To him being in the skyline is being able to see it from miles away. what a bitch
the stadium is in little havana which as far as I know is pretty ghetto

 

[Sanjuro]

Do Florida fans just not remember 2003?

 

[ph33nix]

? What

I remember everything, including Loria running around the bases like a douchebag when we won at Yankee stadium

It's extremely ghetto, and it doesn't lend itself well to the kind of traffic a professional team attracts. Thankfully, that's not a problem with the Marlins.

Do Florida fans just not remember 2003?

Loria had almost nothing to do with 2003. He had bought the team the year before and most of the pieces were from the previous ownership.

 

[ph33nix]

Loria wants to improve relationships with the fans yet he cancelled a radio segment where fans can call in and talk to the team president

Yeah real talk

 

[Sanjuro]

Loria had almost nothing to do with 2003. He had bought the team the year before and most of the pieces were from the previous ownership.

So, John Henry has a ring for that World Series?

I'd give one to him before Loria.

 

[Sanjuro]

I'd give one to him before Loria.

:jnc

You have no clue what you're talking about.

 

[Fenix]

Anthony Gose just tripled on a ball that never touched the warning track.

Edit: Bautista dinger #1.

 

[BigJonsson]

Bautista BOMB to cash in Reyes' single


I can get used to that

 

[ph33nix]

:jnc

He didn't have anything to do with it, no huddle head

 

[Sanjuro]

He is the owner of the team. He has everything to do with it by default.

But, if you want to get technical...hiring a new GM, firing old manager, calling up a rookie All Star pitcher, signing the best catching FA in the game, re-signing your All-Star infielder, and trading for one best players during your World Series run had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with it. Clearly.

Except that's where you're completely wrong and show that you know nothing about how this shitty organization is run

 

[Zep]

The trolling is strong this afternoon. Nice work Sanjuro.

How am I completely wrong? He is either the owner or he isn't. Do you have any information stating he wasn't the owner in 2003?

 

[Sanjuro]

It's not trolling when you are right. If you're a Florida "fan" you might not like Loria, but trying to skew history by making him not exist in prior years? What is this, Men in Black?

You should go work on learning to play Madden without resorting to cheap ass shit instead of bothering with this

You are still salty? My god.

Still doesn't help your reasoning here.

But did he really take any risks when all he did was re-hire Beinfest and Sampson from the Expos?! No.

I never claimed it to be a risk, almost all moves are though regardless. Still, did he not win a World Series? Don't tell me Will Smith got you as well, Zep.
