The Florida Marlins 2011 Thread-Undefeated vs Braves.

muscle beat me to a response, but I'll add this: if the guy is good enough to be our #3 hitter, why is he suddenly in need of time in the minors?

The entire team is playing poorly this year, except maybe for a couple of guys like Anibal and Stanton. But LoMo gets demoted? Yeah, that has nothing to do with Twitter, I'm sure. (And notice I'm not arguing with the Wes Helms release.)

 

I agree. I know Morrison has been struggling but it's not like the Marlins are fighting for a playoff spot and he's really hurting the team. I would probably keep him up and let him just figure it out in the big leagues. I think it's more of him being punished by off the field stuff.

 

You're pointing out that the numbers say Logan Morrison 'deserves' to be sent down. Whether you agree with the send down or not you said he deserved it. I said that those stats should only be one factor among several others that decides whether a player is sent to the minors. I actually thought Hanley was a good example of a team using several factors, I said nothing about it being the same situation. From what you posted Hanley Ramirez 'deserves' to be sent to the minor leagues right now. Maybe I can come up with a better example. It took about three seasons of Jeff Francoeur recognizing the strike zone as well as a little leaguer before he was sent down. The reason was because Atlanta had high hopes for him. Even after waiting all that time the send down was still criticized to an extent.

Why would a non contending team send a highly regarded young player who it hopes will be a star for them in the not so distant future down to the minors? Why not let him work out his problems against major league pitching? I agree that this is the team trying to punish him for being outspoken. How dare he say things about them or their favorite diva Hanley Ramirez.

 

Lmao. You guys are actually defending Morrison and coming at Hanley. Have you guys watched this season at all? This demotion is very deserving based on his play and big mouth. He needs to shut up and play baseball.

 

Who's coming at Hanley? I see people coming at management, which is nothing new for this thread and fanbase.

 

This is going to end well for both sides....

I'm starting to wonder if the Marlins might consider moving him at the end of the year although I'm selfishly rooting for Ozzie Guillen to be the next manager only for his and LoMo's Twitter exchanges back and forth.

 

Yeah, I think we can begin to count down LoMo's remaining days as a Marlin. Hope I'm wrong and this blows over.

 

Yea, this isn't looking good. I doubt we trade him, though.

 

Btw, I'm so glad Wes Helms is gone.

 

Mike Stanton is Godly.

 

When do you guys change this subtitle?

Or do you need to be swept out into the Atlantic for a third time?

 

Ex-Marlin Mike Jacobs suspended 50 games for testing positive for HGH.

 

Never.

 

Nolasco has singlehandidly killed my H2H team on several weeks!

 

I wish he was more Jekyll, so I wouldnt have to hyde as often from the abuse!

 

Next time please include a spoiler warning for a terrible pun.

 

So did the demotion of LoMo come from Loria himself?

Dumb. Clown shoes.

 

I wonder what the record for most outings allowing at least 10 ER in one season.


Ricky may break it.

 

I think it's ridiculous how inconsistent Nolasco is. I never thought it was possible to be this inconsistent.

 

Congrats to Ricky Nolasco on becoming the Marlins all time strikeout leader.

And welcome back, LoMo. Play nice, Samson.

 

In the past, I could live with his inconsistency. But he isn't even striking guys out anymore. That worries me.

 

...Lock that boy up....

Whew

 

this is pretty cool.....

 

Meh. I'd rather get a more low profile team to play those games (they'll draw either way).

 

Dude come on....it is an exhibition of a new baseball stadium.....only the Sox or Yanks will do in this case....

 

...

 

This season just can't end fast enough
