  1. Showing himself to be a big time player in the big games no doubt.
  2. That's the point, the teams aren't losing money. If the fans stopped spending money, it would force change. If the Marlins' only revenue source was from revenue sharing and absolutely zero from tickets, merch, concessions etc, they would fold as a team. MLB INC wouldn't allow the embarrassment of no fans in the stands for long, and the big market ownerships would eventually balk at sharing revenue with them. I know that's all pipe dream stuff, but that's the only solution. It would require fans getting balkanized in unison, which will never happen.
  3. There is only one fix to this. But enough fans won't do what is necessary. I got tired of the MLB economics even before the nightmare of the modern CBA's. I turned my back on MLB around the late 80's. Only saw passing headlines about the Brewers and state of baseball. Totally missed the other two NLCS series. Couldn't care less. I drew my line in the sand. Nothing changed. It actually got worse. I finally decided, if you can't beat them, might as well join them enough to enjoy the game again - that was just after the Hader trade I started following again. Imagine if millions of small market fans could muster the same determination all at the same time for even just a few years let alone decades. The big markets depend on the small market fans to fuel this nonsense. If small market teams went bankrupt from fan disinterest, it would leave MLB with about 7-8 teams. There is no way they make the exorbitant, inequitable revenues in that model that they do now on the backs of small market fans.
  4. This team has forgotten its identity as a small ball outfit that works counts, steals bases. All that team speed is being wasted.
  5. Make this guy throw some pitches. No more short at bats
  6. It’s only 1-0. Granted they’re getting length out of their Snell and we are chewing through relievers to keep it close. It’s on the bats to do something
  7. Make them make plays. They haven’t put small ball pressure on defenses for weeks
  8. If the hitters can’t tap into the energy that the arms have been giving on the mound, they don’t deserve to move on.
  9. Really need leaders to do leadership things at the plate
  10. Can’t use the team speed when nobody gets on. They haven’t put pressure on defenses consistently for a month at least
  11. You secured home field advantage for a reason. Make it count!
  12. Brewers doing Brewers things. It’s perversely comical
  13. Me too, but a baseball profession schedule is a different animal than most of us having 9-5 type gigs. At the end of the day, I knew I could fight through the commute, get home and be the supportive husband and dad. And I wasn't in a high pressure, uniquely athletically skilled job trying to hit 85-100+mph pitches with RISP on a regular basis.
  14. I don't know what you mean, Text color in blue?
  15. Yep, he was having a career year of overachievement, and that brought a quick halt to his mojo. Don't know his personal life, maybe they have a hard time conceiving, but I told my wife... "what was he thinking... plant that seed in late spring / early summer.. so you don't have a kid during the season".
  16. They need to find a new stud soon for Yelli to hand the baton to like he took it from Braun. He's had a great year overall, but damn... we need his bat to be more impactful at the moment.
