Jeter’s style, by contrast, is to dictate terms and expect you to glumly accept them.

My biggest wish for 2019 is a NL MVP award for Ozuna.

long rosenthal piece in the athletic this week about how gary denbo, jetes' buddy/director of player development is a colossal asshole whom everyone hates
He wanted the dogs out of the clubhouse. No, it was worse than that. Gary Denbo, the Marlins’ vice president of player development and scouting, could not tolerate the dogs, who had been a popular part of the Greensboro Grasshoppers’ scene since August 2006, fetching bats, carrying buckets of balls to the plate umpire, running the bases after every game.The dogs are such a phenomenon that the bucket of the late Miss Babe Ruth, a Labrador Retriever who once worked 638 consecutive home games, is on display at the National Baseball Hall of Fame. But Denbo, making an unannounced visit to the Marlins’ Low-A affiliate in June 2018, was not interested in upholding tradition. He took one look at the two dog kennels in the clubhouse and demanded that they be removed, berating a clubhouse attendant, a longtime employee of the team who is in his 50s.The exchange was the breaking point in the Marlins’ 16-year relationship with Greensboro, according to the team’s president and general manager, Donald Moore, who said he simply could not work with Denbo. Moore subsequently made a deal with the Pirates’ organization, and the Marlins settled for a much less advantageous affiliation in Clinton, Iowa, where the ballpark is considered outdated and remote.

The Marlins are scoring 2.69 runs per game. That puts them on pace for 434 -- 75 fewer runs than the 2010 Mariners… And this is during the juiced ball era. The Marlins have one -- one! -- player with an OPS above league average. Their best player is 4 for May— Brendan Gawlowski (@GawlowskiB) May 13, 2019

The Marlins have scored eight total runs in their last seven games.— Dayn Perry (@daynperry) May 16, 2019

Did I mention that it’s been a full week since the last Marlins position player drove in a run, or 11 days since one of their players homered? Or that it’s the team’s only homer this month, hit by a 29-year-old rookie named Jon Berti? I kid you not.
