I think we have given up most SBs in MLB this season - some of that is on the pitchers, but we need a guy who can throw a bit back there. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Defensively he's already better than Plawecki and Travis. My understanding with his hitting is that they've made a lot of progress in getting him to be more patient at the plate. Either way, it's a win IMO. The Mets need to figure out between now through May if they should make a move for a catcher at the deadline and this allows them to do that.

Doubt he’d be available, but Molina makes this team a serious WS contender IMO, assuming pitchers stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Don Mattingly always comes through with those pitching changes. Never fails. Mickey playing a little war of attrition out there tonight. I am digging his style. He really likes to play the grind it out game, waiting for his opponent to make a mistake. The Big 5 has officially, finally pitched together. I think that's pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 This article cracked me up. Especially considering it looked like a Mets home game the past few nights and the Jumbo Shrimp games are a lot of fun here in Jax: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/23134000/miami-marlins-outdrawn-double-affiliate-jacksonville-jumbo-shrimp-wednesday-games Empty Jeet seats: Marlins outdrawn by Double-A affiliate 12:36 PM ET Darren RovellESPN Senior Writer Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print comment The Miami Marlins, who lost 4-1 to the New York Mets on Wednesday night, were outdrawn that day by their Double-A affiliate, the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. The Marlins drew 6,150 fans. The Jacksonville team brought in 6,960 for its home opener Wednesday night. For the three-game series against New York, the Marlins -- who lost Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich, Dee Gordon and Marcell Ozuna as part of a rebuilding plan by the team's new ownership -- drew a total of 19,669 fans. Plenty of open seats could be found at Wednesday's Mets-Marlins game. Eric Espada/Getty Images Through nine home games, the Marlins are averaging 12,641 fans per game, which includes an Opening Day crowd of 34,000. That's compared to a reported average attendance of 24,996 for their first nine games last season. But it might not be apples to apples. Before the season, the new Marlins management said it would announce only sold tickets for a particular game, which is one reason this season's attendance seems even more paltry. Last season, the Marlins reported a home attendance of 1.65 million fans. However, the Miami Herald later reported that the number of fans who actually paid for tickets was about 820,000. That would put last year's paid average at 10,123 fans per game. A troubling sign this season is that the Marlins' home games have been against some of baseball's most marketable teams: the Chicago Cubs, the Boston Red Sox and the Mets, who at 10-1 have the best record in the majors. The ownership of Bruce Sherman and Derek Jeter has been under heavy scrutiny since they agreed to buy the team for $1.2 billion last year. A version of a once-confidential report showed to potential investors how the team would achieve profitability, something that rubbed fans the wrong way, as the Marlins' highest-priced but best talent was sent elsewhere. More recently, Miami was unable to come to terms with its most famous fan, "Marlins Man" Laurence Leavy, who had Marlins tickets since the team's debut in the league in 1993.

Realmuto, but he'll be quite expensive in a trade. Especially since he won't hit free agency until 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montero would be a nice addition -- I have also seen Realmuto's name floated around a bit, but I would imagine the Marlins would try to hold us up for a lot, given our need and as a Divisional rival.

Lith Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Talk about a strange outing for Lugo last night. 2 innings, 10 batters faced, 6 hits (3 never left the infield), a HR, 4 batters retired, but thanks to a double play an Yo throwing out a runner, he only allowed the 1 run.
