That exact team never even sniffed .500. The Marlins could win 3 World Series this decade and there’d still be idiots saying “HoW dArE tHeY bReAk Up ThE bEsT oUtFiElD iN bAsEbAlL!”
dont forget ichiro off the bench, aswell as dietrich and rojas who are met killers. also they would be even scarier with those bats now matched with their current rotation.
Why? We had no chance of going anywhere after we lost José. That same team when Stanton won MVP had only 77 wins and people are made that they traded everyone. It lead to the playoffs. We have such a better pitching staff and farm system after trading everyone. It’s one of the best things that Jeter could have done.
@@jayden8636 Why? Because it was sad to see such a young talent/man be taken from us to early and the team broke apart after his death just made it harder man it was rough
I remember this like it’s still happening, they went after José Reyes and got him, Mark Buerhle and got him, Ozzie Guillen and got him new ballpark and even offered Albert Pujols 275-300 mill for ten years and he didn’t sign cuz they didn’t want the no trade clause. Crazyyyyy
@@ruttedpanda7884 no way. Reyes was never the same. Johnson was done for the rest of his career. Hanley had one good HALF year with LAD ( other than that garbage). Buerhle was bad in TOR. Yelich was good but no where elite with us. stanton was half elite half bad or hurt. LoMo was never good again (except for one year where he hit for power and nothing else....4 years later). Infante was an average player. Heath Bell was never good again since leaving SD. No that team would have been terrible. At least we got exciting players like Henderson Alvarez and Hechevarria ( a defensive whiz). Plus they were all owes so much money in backloaded deals. The 2012 firesale was a great thing.
@@rdg760jr2 yeah I know I said he was done after 2012. And before that he was injured too often. I forget the year , possibly 2010,where he made 7 starts and 4 of them he went past the 5th with no hits. That year he was going to run away with the Cy Young. He was dominating every category and looked like it was the begining of his time to take over the league. And after that....he was done. He was done forever. He was too tall. They say when you're that tall you mess up your back by trying to confirm to the rest of the world by always leaning down, slouching , and trying to fit in smaller places. It blew out his shoulder. What a shame. He really looked special. His fastball was thrown from such and angle that 94mph looked like 102 with sink. He really could have be special
@@ladistar we've had more losing seasons than any team in baseball in that 25 year span too. outside of those 2 magical years we've got nothing. absolutely nothing.
As a Cubs fan I'd rather them lose to the Marlins than just about anyone else because I know I won't have to hear it from the opposing fan base. Plus I was just happy the Cubs won the division after being predicted to be "4tH pLaCe"
My wife and I went to a game at the start of July 2012 and people were honestly handing us spare tickets, telling us not to pay for Marlins tickets from the machine out front. 2019 I went back as part of a trip to all 30 MLB parks. While the stadium was still half empty, you definitely felt a change in the atmosphere and the fan interaction. It was a lot more positive
I love the fact that I attended the record attendance game in Marlins Park, and that it was in the World Baseball Classic and not even a Marlins game 🤣
To be fair, Buehrle was an integral part of that 2015 team, and without Reyes the Jays likely wouldn’t have acquired Troy Tulowitzki and LaTroy Hawkins.
What's funny is the Cubs are still gonna have a good enough roster to contend for the division even though people will say they're gonna suck, like they said about 2020 too. The Pirates and Brewers aren't better, the Reds are already trading away players and won't resign Bauer and the Cardinals aren't doing much. They're good, not elite. This won't be a tough division at all.
The biggest misconception with the Marlins is that the 2017 Marlins team w yelich Stanton Jose etc was good. They weren’t.. never even got .500. Shows why we really did need to tear everything down
They didn’t have Jose that year , he died in 2016 when the Marlins underachieved heavily but still didn’t do horrible, the only good thing to come from 2017 was stantons mvp
Even if they still had Jose Fernandez, that team was .500 at best. They just didn't have the depth for a playoff push. Put together all the bad contracts they had and one of the worst farm systems in baseball, blowing it up was the right call. In hindsight, Stanton was an outright hindrance, both in contract values, and in trade talks. There was a source (CBA'd to look it up) that would have gotten Bryan Reynolds had Stanton accepted the trade to the Giants. (he had a no-trade clause) Instead they've gotten next to nothing for Stanton outside of budgetary relief. The Yelich trade was a disaster, no full disclosure there. And it's starting to look like the Realmuto trade is starting to head in the Yelich direction, as well. One thing the new ownership has shown me is that they (or their staff) aren't very good at assessing talent. Blowing it up was the right move to do. I just wish they had a better choice of prospects being returned in the process.
Man as lifelong Marlins fan that I am and being born and raised in the best city in the world which is Miami I’ve seen constantly failing to win games failing to win world championships I hope Derek Jeter makes us like the dodgers I wanna see much more people at the games! And win World Series championships for years to come!
Things are already looking up. Project Wolverine. We are still a year early and got to make the playoffs last season and win a series. At this current moment we are right in the middle of the NLEast (everyone is like 11-14 aside from the Mets). Jazz is a stud. We need Marte back as he is having an MVP type year. Things are looking very very up.
@@LudaChez we’re in last place bro lol hopefully we get those guys back Brian Anderson marte jazz Alfaro very very soon and we can get to 1st place in our division eventually
getting people to games is tough out there,alot to do,Dodgers really don't win much in WS,but I get you,at least a team that has a chance,the Marlins need an attraction unique to the city!
I’m a dodger fan so I have no idea what it’s like to be a Marlins fan but I will always have a place in my heart for ur Marlins fans, actually just copped a pro fitted Marlins hat yesterday
As a marlins fan loria killed so many great potential teams over & over it sucked. I remember when we won in '03 the streets were wild on Calle ocho. Hopefully better days for us
It’s sad I love the Marlins and enjoy every game as a kid but once they changed to Miami Marlins they killed the franchise. But they were slowly killing us with trade on good players.
1:29 I had forgotten some of the names but that stadium name list is hilarious. It was only known as “Pro Player Park” for 14 days and Dolphin Stadium (a 2nd time) for 13 days.
Despite the bad management, The Marlins have won two titles in the first 25 years of their existence. There are a lot of clubs that have waited far longer - and in some cases are still waiting - to win even one championship. For a team with a small payroll and awful ownership, the Marlins have actually had a really good run as a franchise. Can’t say I feel too bad for them.
in that same timespan theyve had more losing seasons than anyone else in baseball. yeah we had 2 championships but any season outside of those two championships are just painful to watch
Jeter literally said he was going to rebuild from ground up, and that's what he did. We had 1 player in the Top 100 when he took over, we now have 7 at my last count. We actually have a chance at a future and him letting Michael Hill go was the rebuilding from ground up finishing. We used to have one of the top farm systems in the Majors and Loria drained that. I've been a fan since the absolute beginning and I haven't felt more hope for this team than I do now. Always and forever, Go Marlins!!!
I maintain that this franchise died along with Jose Fernandez. Without a ace starting pitcher, the team felt rudderless and blew it up the following offseason, and haven't been back since, pandemic seasons notwithstanding.
As a Braves fan, the only team I’d wanna see do well in the NLE is the Marlins. Hate seeing teams living on the bottom. The playoff run was refreshing. Best of luck to them
The 2017 Marlins had a powerhouse of an offense. If not the best in the majors, the scariest. Stanton hit 59 homers, Yelich, Ozuna, and Realmuto came into their own, and Bour had a career year. As a Mets fan, I really enjoyed the games against the Marlins.
As a fan of the White Sox when they won the World Series in 2005, I wished Ozzie Guillen the best in his new managing job with the 2012 Marlins. Too bad it didn't turn out as planned.
Man the Marlins have always been a weird franchise. My first WS I ever watched was when the Marlins beat Cleveland. Super exciting series. The next season they got rid of everybody. Loria was the real culprit. Terrible owner both for Miami and for the MLB. Not a Marlins fan but I am glad the team is in new hands. Miami fans deserve a competitive team.
Wayne Huyzeinga (Viacom/Blockbuster) owned the Marlins in 97. He basically had Dave Dombriwski build a good team through trades and drafting and then in 97 opened the checkbook for the missing pieces. He got his trophy and IMMEDIATELY sold the team. Just because. He owned the Dolphins too I believe he wanted a Ring in every sport and to walk away. What's funny is John Henry bought the Marlins next and he cried super poverty over building a stadium and revitalizing baseball in Miami. Know who John Henry is? Why he's the billionaire that bought the Red Sox with all this money "he didn't have" and then the funniest part is because of what Loria did to Montreal he was PUNISHED into buying the Marlins. But during those fire sales and cheap years (98-02) they acquired amazing players and drafted well. They won another ring by accident in 03 and Loria doesn't deserve it one bit. The real said story is the 05 Marlins. Loria went and spent serious cash. Look up the opening day lineup in 05. Beckett, Burnett, Willis, Leiter (then a couple fill ins like Scott Olsen, Josh Johnson and Ismael Valdez). The lineup with LoDuca at C. You had Carlos Delgado, Mike Lowell, Luis Castillo, Juan Pierre, Miguel Cabrera Juan Encarnacion and Alex Gonzalez as your starting offense. They finished like 83-79 and around August looked like they at least had a wild card locked up. But so many people had the worst seasons of their career. So loria sold it again. Sounds familiar huh?
Thank you 2012 marlins, for your impatience led to a couple sweet playoff runs for my favorite team. the Toronto Blue Jays. Although ill always have a soft spot for the marlins and the mariners because my home town used to be the AAA affiliate for both of those organizations when i was a kid.
I still think their uniforms looked better then and the goofy stadium with the bright colors fitted the team. It stands out at the very least. Just almost no one showed it seems.
dude i remember watching the marlins season intro at the bar at the MGM grand in Las Vegas. I think they were playing the cardinals. i was playing video poker.
How a rat changed sports forever. It’s game 6 of the 1975 World Series and Carlton Fisk hit his walk off home run to win. The camera man said there was a rat on the right side of him so he had to show Carlton. Showing his iconic arm move. So for now on, camera men show players on camera.
Don't be the 1994 Expos, screwed out of their best chance at a World Series in the wake of a strike. And Baseball ending any hopes of a return to play.
2003 Marlins still the most based team ever. Not a Marlins fan but you beat the Cubs and Yankees in the postseason. But I couldn’t imagine the pain of being a Marlins fan tho
@@jasonlopez8053 tbh was hoping they’d win another World Series considering before this year they hadn’t lost a series. Shame but still based they swept the Cubs
@@jasonlopez8053 part of me didn't want to make the playoffs this season because I want to remain undefeated. The Florida Marlins are undefeated in the playoffs at least
@Nathan being a Marlins fan from day one, the thing that sucked the most was 1998. Granted without the 1998 sale 03 doesn't happen. But the 97 Marlins could have competed for years. It's hard to talk about, but some of the other fire sales had some necessity to them. The 06 one kind of hurt because the 05 squad on paper should have won another ring. Maybe they could have in 06 or 07. But that sale led to some very exciting teams. 06 was interesting as those rookies were in the playoff hunt in September. The 07 team didn't do much but then they started playing well. JJ, Hanley, Uggla, Ross, Anibal, LoMo, Coghlan (then short term guys like Cantu and Jacobs) and knowing Stanton was on the horizon. The 2012 team blew it and stood no chance. I was happy with that fire sale because that team was doomed. When Jose died it was over. Jeter had now built a team with a blueprint to be special for years. Hopefully the dark times are over
Shortly after 2012 I stopped watching baseball all together. I blamed MLB for letting this weasel Loria stay in baseball after ruining a franchise that ten years prior had a massive following in Montreal. They didn't just let him buy the Marlins. They paid him a made up value of $120 million for the corpse of the expos then loaned him $38 million more so he could afford to buy the Marlins. This while they were telling billionaires like Mark Cuban that they weren't welcome in baseball and refused to sell them a team. As a big Marlins fan at the time I gave the new group the benefit of the doubt and they got a championship in their second season which made it seem things were looking up. They spent a little money after the world series for 2 seasons but at the first signs of adversity they sold any player with talent and started their "welfare scam" where they spent no money for two or three seasons and pocketed most of the money baseball was giving them that was supposed to be so they can be more competitive with big money clubs. Every three years or so they would get a slap on the wrist from baseball for basically stealing and would sign a few players then the next year start a new "rebuilding" process for 3 years so they could keep stealing. They blame the fans in South Florida but the Heat manage to have top 5 attendance in the NBA every year for decades.
Man, my marlins fanatic got ripped out of my soul. after this season, I stopped watching baseball period. after this season I still haven’t recovered to watch the marlins
It still boggles my mind that the MLB actually told Loria to sod off and took the Expos away from him because he was so inept and vile, and turned around and let him have another team. What??? Thanks to all the Gods that he's gone from my favourite team. And thanks that I missed this era of Marlins baseball. 2005-2009 & 2018-beyond, glad to have you.
The worse thing the Marlins did was have Ozzie Guillen as a manager. He passed on Cespedes, made Hanley play 3B, didn't start Bherle against the Cardinals on Opening Day! So much bs!
Don't forget in 2010 They also had Andrew Miller, who would become one of baseball's best relievers shortly after leaving the team. Granted, it's just hindsight bias because he probably would have not been as good with the Marlins
at least the 2021 pirates were expected to be terrible. they were tanking. the 2012 marlins had reasonably high playoff aspirations heading into the year
A team of yelich, ozuna, Stanton, Fernandez, realmuto, brad hand and Brian Anderson would absolutely scare me as a Mets fan
That exact team never even sniffed .500. The Marlins could win 3 World Series this decade and there’d still be idiots saying “HoW dArE tHeY bReAk Up ThE bEsT oUtFiElD iN bAsEbAlL!”
@@oceanthresher6184 Because outside of Jose Fernandez, their pitching was absolutely dogshit. #2-5 starters and the entire bullpen.
dont forget ichiro off the bench, aswell as dietrich and rojas who are met killers. also they would be even scarier with those bats now matched with their current rotation.
Don’t forget Luis Castillo as well at one point
I don’t get that? We had that team and we sucked
Don’t be the 2012 Marlins and 2015 Padres.

I still think their uniforms looked better then and the goofy stadium with the bright colors fitted the team. It stands out at the very least. Just almost no one showed it seems.
I was getting Jeffrey Lauria and Jefry Laurie (the owner of the Eagles)confused
I’m ngl bro I did too 😂😂
Don't be the 2012 Marlins, be the 2012 Giants.
This video was very wholesome towards the end
dude i remember watching the marlins season intro at the bar at the MGM grand in Las Vegas. I think they were playing the cardinals. i was playing video poker.
5:38 is funny with the Meek Mill lyrics in the background
Dont be the 2012-13 Detriot Tigers who had arguably the greatest pitching rotation to have one of the utter worst bullpens
Dodgers fan here but lowkey a Marlins fan
How a rat changed sports forever.
It’s game 6 of the 1975 World Series and Carlton Fisk hit his walk off home run to win. The camera man said there was a rat on the right side of him so he had to show Carlton. Showing his iconic arm move. So for now on, camera men show players on camera.
They year we were expected to have a better season, but turned into a tragedy😭
Don't be the 1994 Expos, screwed out of their best chance at a World Series in the wake of a strike. And Baseball ending any hopes of a return to play.
2003 Marlins still the most based team ever. Not a Marlins fan but you beat the Cubs and Yankees in the postseason. But I couldn’t imagine the pain of being a Marlins fan tho
Beat the cubs twice lol
@@jasonlopez8053 tbh was hoping they’d win another World Series considering before this year they hadn’t lost a series. Shame but still based they swept the Cubs
@@nathanjohnson2382 shhhh the season was an * we still undefeated 😂
@@jasonlopez8053 part of me didn't want to make the playoffs this season because I want to remain undefeated. The Florida Marlins are undefeated in the playoffs at least
@Nathan being a Marlins fan from day one, the thing that sucked the most was 1998. Granted without the 1998 sale 03 doesn't happen. But the 97 Marlins could have competed for years. It's hard to talk about, but some of the other fire sales had some necessity to them. The 06 one kind of hurt because the 05 squad on paper should have won another ring. Maybe they could have in 06 or 07. But that sale led to some very exciting teams. 06 was interesting as those rookies were in the playoff hunt in September. The 07 team didn't do much but then they started playing well. JJ, Hanley, Uggla, Ross, Anibal, LoMo, Coghlan (then short term guys like Cantu and Jacobs) and knowing Stanton was on the horizon. The 2012 team blew it and stood no chance. I was happy with that fire sale because that team was doomed. When Jose died it was over. Jeter had now built a team with a blueprint to be special for years. Hopefully the dark times are over
Imagine the rotation was Fernandez, Luis Castillo, Trevor Rogers, Sandy Alcantara, Pablo Lopez and sixto

Shortly after 2012 I stopped watching baseball all together. I blamed MLB for letting this weasel Loria stay in baseball after ruining a franchise that ten years prior had a massive following in Montreal. They didn't just let him buy the Marlins. They paid him a made up value of $120 million for the corpse of the expos then loaned him $38 million more so he could afford to buy the Marlins. This while they were telling billionaires like Mark Cuban that they weren't welcome in baseball and refused to sell them a team. As a big Marlins fan at the time I gave the new group the benefit of the doubt and they got a championship in their second season which made it seem things were looking up. They spent a little money after the world series for 2 seasons but at the first signs of adversity they sold any player with talent and started their "welfare scam" where they spent no money for two or three seasons and pocketed most of the money baseball was giving them that was supposed to be so they can be more competitive with big money clubs. Every three years or so they would get a slap on the wrist from baseball for basically stealing and would sign a few players then the next year start a new "rebuilding" process for 3 years so they could keep stealing. They blame the fans in South Florida but the Heat manage to have top 5 attendance in the NBA every year for decades.
Don't be the 2015 padres
Man, my marlins fanatic got ripped out of my soul. after this season, I stopped watching baseball period. after this season I still haven’t recovered to watch the marlins
I was a loyal marlins fan since D-Train hit the scene in 2003
Great video guys!👍
That plastic Marlin mascot costume was atrocious too
Hechaverria was nasty at shortstop defensively tho
It still boggles my mind that the MLB actually told Loria to sod off and took the Expos away from him because he was so inept and vile, and turned around and let him have another team. What???
Thanks to all the Gods that he's gone from my favourite team. And thanks that I missed this era of Marlins baseball.
2005-2009 & 2018-beyond, glad to have you.
The Marlins are the Florida man of the MLB
Better to be the 2012 Marlins than the 2008 Lions

2013 Blue Jays. What a disaster
Wait...Jose Reyes played for the Marlins? I completely memory holed that lmao.
As a marlins fan myself this video hit different 😞
1:27 It was Joe Robbie for only nine years?! I still call it that.
It has had about 84 names but I think the first sponsored one was Pro Player Stadium.
I really feel for Marlins fans 😔
We are doing good though now
Boy we certainly changed haven't we.
A marlins vid, this will be good to make me sad
The worse thing the Marlins did was have Ozzie Guillen as a manager. He passed on Cespedes, made Hanley play 3B, didn't start Bherle against the Cardinals on Opening Day! So much bs!
DeSclafani just needed about....9 years or so
Don't forget in 2010 They also had Andrew Miller, who would become one of baseball's best relievers shortly after leaving the team. Granted, it's just hindsight bias because he probably would have not been as good with the Marlins
My heart hurts right now jesus
Playing in a stadium that has more names than star wars has episodes! Lmfao! Classic
As a Marlins fan, yup, don't that to yourself
Can we revisit this 😭
Don’t be the 2021 Cubs
Oh boy. Don't let David Sampson get a hold of this video😅
I wasn’t planning on it but thanks for the heads up
I love SRS so much!!!!
Let’s go Marlins!
Globe Life Park makes this place look like Xanadu.
Xanadu lol never forget
Pain
Don't be the 2010 Mariners. (Except Felix Hernandez. Always be Felix Hernandez.)
What does Jeffery have against baseball?!?
READ MY MIND with the Kodak thing
I miss Tommy Hutton, he should still be here.
They had Yelich.. that in itself is enough to explain really..
Stanton would’ve broke that hr record if not for that fastball to the face
I’ve always said it. One of the best rosters all time to finish sub 500
Don't be 1998 and 2004 Marlins
Don't be the 2021 pirates
at least the 2021 pirates were expected to be terrible. they were tanking.
the 2012 marlins had reasonably high playoff aspirations heading into the year
