All I have to say is we are going to be very good much faster than people think.
Should’ve signed Matt Adams
I like Adams... we basically got a RH version of him in Aguilar

We are fine. We need Villar, Dickerson and Aguilar to produce so we can off load them to a desperate team with pennant dreams. Keep acquiring young talent, eventually some of it will pan out.

How that guy was allowed to ruin not one but 2 franchises (the Marlins will recover though) is mind boggling. I agree it's a huge win that he is finally gone.
How?
There are alot of moving parts:- Montreal didnt build Loria a stadium
- John Henry wanted out of Miami after he couldn't get a stadium
- With both Boston and Florida Available, MLB pounced.
- Loria sold the Expos to MLB, who already had a buyer lined up in the Lerners
- John Henry sold the Fish to Loria, who believed he could get the govt to build him a stadium
- John Henry being rid of the Marlins bought one of the flagship MLB franchises, The Red Sox.
MLB wanted Henry and Lerner in the fold and were willing to tolerate Loria to get them.
Loria's 1 World Series was pure luck. He fired his first manager (Torborg) and brought in McKeon and the team caught fire. It was lightning in a bottle.Remember Loria was the guy that fired Joe girardi because Joe refused to listen to his advice IN GAME!!!!
Loria absolutely blew and love what they have done with Jeter now in the drivers seat. Seems like this is what it takes nowadays, tanking, trading, and rebuilding. Astros did it just before they came over to the AL. Cubs did it before the Kris Bryant era. Being lifttime fan of the Marlins I am starting to get used to is.
Wouldnt say pure luck with the 03 win - they had an extremely solid team in front of them arguably best rotation in baseball at that time.

Bro, I am a Marlins lifer as well (since Charlie Hough threw the fist pitch in franchise history), but a rotation of
Beckett
Penny
Pavano
Willis
Redmanwould never be confused with the best rotation in the MLB. Not when the Cubs had Wood Prior, Zambrano & Clement. The Yanks had Moose, Clemens, Pettite, Wells and Weaver.
That was 2 superior rotations off the top of my head.There was some luck and the flukiness of a bunch of guys, particularly pitchers, catching fire in the 2nd half and sustaining t through the playoffs.

9 runs in 2 innings with only 1 of the starting 8 on the field (Freddie) and gets walked off by a guy that got signed a day earlier! Score!
Braves Win! Braves Win!
So you are saying that the Braves scrubs scoring 9 runs on the Marlins scrubs is a reason to celebrate?
Matt Adams is a legit professional hitter and was only available because the Mets decided that they have a surplus of DH types.The 8 run 8th came off pitchers that had ERAs of 5.77 & 6.53 last year and wont make the Marlins roster.
The walkoff was off a minor league scrub....LOL
Just remember it was 8-1 when Mattingly emptied the bench.Any win whether a scrimmage or a regular season game is reason to celebrate!
Regardless of who was on the field, it was still major league caliber guys, if they weren't, they wouldn't be there. Glad to see some fight! Momentum is huge going into a short season like this and being able to come back, with any type of players, from 7 down is huge and can go a long way. So if you can come back from that many down with folks that will be on your taxi squad against another teams taxi squad folks, that's huge and yea, a reason to celebrate!
And like the announcers mentioned, if you are playing in a game 3 days before the season starts, then your organization thinks a lot of you, if not why would you be out there?
Marlins are going to be good/relevant again, just not yet.

Difference is Adams has a penchant for clutch performances. That will be so crucial in such a short season

I read this entire thread while that Adams Walkoff was airborne. Twice.

Look out America, Marlins are still the Marlins.
