I turned their game on just in time to see Stanton's last AB -- "hey, he's not wearing the helmet with the face guard anymhooooly fuck he knocked the shit out of that one"

Crushed another, with the face guard this time. I wonder why he's jumping back and forth between using it and not using it.

ichiro 3-4 today with a double and a SB, six hits shy of 3k now
― nomar, Sunday, 17 July 2016 22:05 (seven years ago) link
Is he getting a lot of playing time right now? I wonder if they'll hold him out the next 4 games so he gets to 3000 at home.

Kind of a messy game, but Ichiro threw out a runner at home which made for a pretty good night.
The Marlins Park PA pumped out maybe the most godawful musical sewage i've heard at a major-league game. I can only imagine what the clubs are like down here.
Besides Mattingly and Barry!, we got pregame talks from Andre Dawson and Tony Perez. And saw the Red Grooms thing go off.

I'm bored out of my skull right now, so I tried to name all 30. Got 27; put down two incorrect names; of the three I missed, one is really embarrassing, one moderately, and the other would probably be a common miss.

Excepting Jose Fernandez, the Marlins' all-time top 25 players, by WAR: - One left as free agent- One waived- Three still on the club- Twenty traded— Sam Miller (@SamMillerBB) December 11, 2017

The backstory of the Giancarlo Stanton trade is bonkers. Miami threatened that if he didn’t accept a trade to St. Louis or San Francisco, he would be a Marlin for life. He called their bluff. And because of it, he’s a New York Yankee.— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) December 11, 2017

Ah yes. I would be surprised if by the end of 2018 those three are still on the squad.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 11 December 2017 21:58 (six years ago) link
#Marlins pushing Ozuna, but complication is interested teams prefer Yelich: more control/higher upside and don't want to give up pieces for Ozuna when clubs believe -- regardless what Mia says -- that both will be traded this offseason.— Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) December 12, 2017
turns out that announcing your team is broken and needs to cut its payroll in half is not a savvy negotiating ploy

Not playing captain save a captain, but I suppose one could say that I doubt ESPN would not have lit into Roger Goodell or Adam Silver in the same way and that would be true. ESPN doesn't seem to give a shite about baseball on a good day, so it's not surprising.
Marlins are into their third extinction cycle. Their team existence is some type of weird Chinatown real estate scam, just looping suckers into buying high. Loria was able to flip $158 millon of borrowed money into selling a club for over a billion dollars and he got a world series ring. Who is laughing now?

While Giancarlo Stanton and Christian Yelich were happy to be traded by the Miami Marlins, right-hander Dan Straily says he wants to be a cornerstone of the team's rebuilding plan.And that's not all."I'm glad they're gone," Straily said Friday. "If they don't want to be here, good for them."
