The team is taking on the image of their manager.Fat Kenley should’ve made the play in the first place, but couldn’t bend over far enough.
But there's no crying in baseball!They won't go quietly. Just you wait and see!
Bases loaded with no outs. Score one run.Heart of then order up. Bloop and a blast, boys. It ain't over til it's over. We'e got spirt, yes we do. We've got spirit, how 'bout you?!?!?
Yeah but… if they’re not ready you could be hurting their development.Serious question in a game thread: I would rather watch the kids come up and play, like Rafaela and Bello and all of this minor league talent that Bloom says will be the future. Wouldn’t you?
Maybe, but it won't happen. They are still in touching distance on the wild card standings and so long as there's a possibility they could find lightning in a bottle or Story helps right the ship, whatever, they are going to keep trying. But we might not be more than a few weeks away from the white flag.Serious question in a game thread: I would rather watch the kids come up and play, like Rafaela and Bello and all of this minor league talent that Bloom says will be the future.

They'll try to scream, but like that poor sucker in 2001, no sound is heard when you're free falling in the vacuum space.They won't go quietly. Just you wait and see!
You can only bring up guys on the 40 man. Bello's here, Casas is here, Hamilton's here, Valdez was here and ATM there is no need to rush Rafaela.Serious question in a game thread: I would rather watch the kids come up and play, like Rafaela and Bello and all of this minor league talent that Bloom says will be the future.

You'll change your sorry tune when they walk this one off!!!Maybe, but it won't happen.

*batterRefsnyder is a nice utility guy, but a number three hitter? Yikes.
I do believe in the intangibles of this sport and I think unfixable damage can be done to a player who comes up too early and struggles mightily. I can see that happening with the current makeup of this roster and the competition that exists in the AL.Serious question in a game thread: I would rather watch the kids come up and play, like Rafaela and Bello and all of this minor league talent that Bloom says will be the future.

The bottom of our order is 0-12 here. So they are due!You'll change your sorry tune when they walk this one off!!!
So very due.The bottom of our order is 0-12 here. So they are due!
The Marlins are 14 games over .500.Can't comprehend 2-13 at home vs NL teams. None of them even that good of a team.
I waited. I saw.They won't go quietly. Just you wait and see!
Marlins are 48-34. Reds are also good. 1-5 against the Cardinals and Rockies is bad.Can't comprehend 2-13 at home vs NL teams. None of them even that good of a team.
I think for me, the team as constructed now is just not it. I think watching the young guys compete gives me hope for the future.I do believe in the intangibles of this sport and I think unfixable damage can be done to a player who comes up too early and struggles mightily.

The Red Sox have a better run differential than them even after getting outscored 18-3 in this series.The Marlins are 14 games over .500.
Bad seafood.1-10 against the Rays and Marlins. 1-6 at Fenway.
Here's the thing: Building a good team is not about you, or fans in general. Risking young talent before it's ready just so the fans will feel better about things is not conducive to development.I think for me, the team as constructed now is just not it. I think watching the young guys compete gives me hope for the future.
Didn't quite work out today. Whiffed badly three times.These are his numbers against lefties this season. Who would you want to take his place?

So what?The Red Sox have a better run differential than them even after getting outscored 18-3 in this series.
So it means they aren't as good as their record indicates and regression is likely?So what?

Then the standings should be re-ordered by run differential. There's no way of knowing if regression is likely. They could easily just keep getting better as the season goes alongSo it means they aren't as good as their record indicates and regression is likely?
Cards had a good run differential when we faced them.The Red Sox have a better run differential than them even after getting outscored 18-3 in this series.
Seems like it, yes. Unless reaching base by operation of rule counts as reaching base.The starting pitcher has faced 27 batters and retired them all; however, his team hasn't scored through nine. The 10th begins with a runner on second who gets sacrificed to 3rd and then scores on a sac fly before the pitcher retires his 30th consecutive batter. His team doesn't score and he gets the loss but credit for a no-hitter. Does he also get credit for a perfect game?
