The 2022 Marlins would have sucked with or without Don Mattingly as manager, but he sure didn't help. His bullpen management has always been notoriously bad. The egregious blunders made by Oliver Marmol and Dave Roberts, especially, show how a moronic manager can really hurt a team's chances at winning a 3 or 5 game series. As a Cardinals or Dodgers fan, I'd have little confidence in those guys. The Marlins need to hire someone who actually has the brains to think tactically in tight spots.

Also, bullpens are crucially important, given the number of blown leads we've seen so far. this postseason. One of the worst was inflicted by Anthony Bass. Obviously the Marlins weren't going anywhere with the terrible offense, but Kim Ng really blundered with constructing this bullpen. The Orioles leftovers plot was a catastrophic failure.

Marlins relievers had a combined 4.13 ERA, which was 9th worst in MLB. On top of that, their WPA was -5.71, which was 2nd worst in MLB. That's a combination of Mattingly misusing the arms or the relievers themselves just crumbling in high leverage situations. This tells me that the bullpen cost the Marlins a lot of games that they otherwise should have won. Tanner Scott was a major culprit; he had the 4th worst WPA for a reliver in MLB.

The terrible lineup gets most of the attention, but if Kim Ng wants to field a respectable team in 2023, she really needs to find a several better relievers. And a manager who knows how to use them efficiently.

Anyway, I know some people think the manager doesn't matter or doesn't matter much. The playoffs this year show me otherwise.

Based on us beating the Brewers and helping the Phillies make the playoffs. Plus we usually beat up on the Phillies in the regular season so my hatred for them is dulled rn

If I can't root for us, at least I can root for the suffering of the Braves. FUCK Atlanta

Hey r/letsgofish!

I represent the writing section of the Michigan Society for American Baseball Research, or M-SABR for short, that is run on-campus at the University of Michigan. We are a group of college students that write and produce research about baseball, purely for the love of the game.

This month, coinciding with the end of the 2022 MLB season, we are starting what we hope to be an annual season review program to write a substantial article about all 30 teams. We are trying to spread the word about our hard work to those would want to read it.

Ian Payne would appreciate if you guys checked out the review of the Marlins here.

With the pending transition to /r/MiamiMarlins as the main sub for the team, can we get an announcement post up here with a link and a reminder for those who don't come by frequently? The transition has been mentioned in comments, but the post announcing the change is over a week old and has been buried by other end of season news.

Also, thank you to /u/Navi401 for removing the CSS on /r/MiamiMarlins that forced old Reddit users back here.

ATTENDANCE BY THE NUMBERS

The Marlins saw a jump in attendance from a year ago, when they had just over 642,000 attendees. In 2022, Miami averaged a home crowd size of 11,203, which was higher than their 7,934 average size in 2021. Despite the increase, that was still the lowest mark in the NL. Only the Oakland A’s had fewer attendees (787,902) than the Marlins (907,487) across the majors in 2022.

So, the Palm Beach post is reporting Sherman offered him a job. (Hitting Coach?)

I'm assuming he's waiting on managerial offers and if nothing pans out, he may come back as hitting coach. Your thoughts?
