  1. i like to think that on strearns' first day on the job he called in billy eppler for his one-on-one intro meeting, and it satarted off like, "have you noticed what the braves are doing in atlanta? explain to me why you hadn't locked up pete alonso yet?" and that was that. Of course Eppler could counter with, 'Have YOU noticed that they're doing quite nicely after NOT resigning Freddie?'
  2. Did he put bald tires on it prior to the 101 win season or just the 75 ?
  3. If Mike didn't know him did he really exist?
  4. Benjamin Grimm wrote: I haven't really been clear on what a GM does when he works under a POBO. Maybe Eppler wasn't either, or he found out and decided it wasn't for him. Mostly handles the details of contract negotiations, arbitration, liaisons with other GMs on trades, etc., while POBO directs the overall direction of the club and organization.
  5. =Marshmallowmilkshake post_id=138632 time=1696200273 user_id=119] Cohen saying it's all about giving his new PBO the opportunity to pick his own guy.
  6. The news of Wakefield's illness was 'broken' by Curt Shilling on a podcast last week much to the anger of other BoSox friends and the team itself which knew of the diagnosis but kept mum out of respect to the Wakefield family. The other half of that is that Tim's wife is battling a serious cancer diagnosis of her own.
  7. I went Senga Alvarez had it early but I think K.S. won it back in the 2nd half
  8. I'm going to be away the next couple days so tonight's rain out means I've seen my last NYM game until next April. This makes me sad.
  9. Marlins win 4-3 Reds keeping pace by pounding StL
  10. The Marlins, down 3-0 thru 7 in Pittsburgh and desperate to avoid needing a Monday make-up game to secure a post-season slot, score 4 in the top of the 8th. So one run wins have been their specialty this season (32-13) and they're currently holding a one run lead in the late innings of two separate games.
  11. Just saw the Harper video ... he was two feet short of a full swing.
  12. Doesn't look/sound like this one will resume tonight. And if it does it'll probably be without me.
  13. If this game ends like this it'll be typical Marlins 2023: outscored 14-8 in the series while winning two of three. Coming into tonight MIA are six games over .500 despite being at a negative 55 RS/RA
  14. I like the LHP vs Chisholm and it's kind if cool that it's Anthony Kay with the game on the line. Not ideal maye, but kinda cool.
  15. But let him finish shutting down the yanx first.
  16. The 3B ump was, of course ... Angel Hernandez
  17. If G, K, & R Really want to imitate their predecessors they'd crack open those bottles. L, R & B indulged on more than one occasion.
  18. Bye Bye Berti (last time this year I'll get to use that line)
  19. I blame Gary's fake HR call.
  20. Four baserunners for the Marlins in this inning. One hit.* * actually two, one an infield hit

  22. Acuna gets his 70th steal to make himself the sole member of the 40/70 club.
  23. “Absolutely, there should be no fans, 2020 season, no fans,” Strider said ...“Get rid of the fans, it's too loud. It's too loud, everybody be quiet. We don't need the cheering, we know you're watching. I don't need the fans.” “You stay out the stadium, I mean, back it up. Let's do a no lower-bowl thing. … Upper decks, great. Outfield, phenomenal. We don't need you around the dugouts. Just try and be quiet.” FK: You wouldn't think a player would think this way. And you certainly wouldn't expect one to vocalize such opinions.
  24. And that one's Not a strike?!?
  25. Then DJ Stewart gets rung up on a worse pitch.
