If you were a high school or college kid hoping to make it to MLB you’d be dumb as gently caress to say you wouldn’t play for the Marlins as a minor leaguer lmao

Possibly if you were a Harper-esque slam-dunk number 1 pick you might get away with it, but otherwise I think it'd hurt your draft stock quite significantly.

Didn’t you hear? You’re in the right place. We got a bunch of regular Cesar Chavezes in this thread ready willing and able to fight management on behalf of the most powerful union in the world whose lowest paid members make $500,000 and who consistently fucks over 90% of the workforce!

somehow this always coincidentally relates to some rich team being able to buy all of the best players

Out of habit I was looking up what games are in New York this summer and then I realized that I have tickets to 81 games in Chicago already. Maybe I don’t need to see Mets/Yankees at Citi Field. Unless cross-town games are funny at the Mets’ stadium. Any thoughts?

Shiti Field is actually nicer than the new Yankee Stadium. MUCH better parking situation too.

At first I hated Marlins Man for being a person using himself as a brand, then I loved him for making GBS threads on Zack Hample, then I felt sorry for him after the way he was treated by fans at Progressive Field, and now I hate him again even though he's not really wrong here

Marlins Man is the face of the franchise at this point. They probably should just give him Mondays to pull in a couple dozen fans.

If memory serves he is, in fact, a lawyer. Speaking of, I'm actually getting mildly excited about my White Sox season tickets. Ask me about my feelings in September and they may be different.

Marlins Man is dumb to think that players or other fans should care who he is, but if you own the Marlins you should really care who he is, if only because he has continued to shell out money for your stupid-rear end team through thick and thin.

If you own the Marlins, and you've lost Marlins Man, you've lost everybody.

Agreed. This dude is on national television multiple times a week showing off your team. I honestly thought Loria was buds with him.

He's the definition of super fan. It just shows how big a bubble ownership lives in, particularly in that town.

If you live in NYC, you obviously don't drive to the game (or at all). But for the 20,000+ people at each game who don't live in NYC, it's almost always faster and easier to drive.

It's about an hour and a half drive to the stadium for me, if I take the train it's a minimum of 3 hours.
