1. Will people stop hating on the Marlins already?

This is our year. As of today they are not eliminated from the postseason

2. The Marlins' Short Season A team is near me..

The Batavia Muckdogs.. "my team.' Until last year they were associated with the Cards. MY MLB team. Then the 2 minor league teams just switched towns. I still root for the Muckdogs, but somehow it just ain't the same.

Plus the nearby Rochester Redwings are the Triple-A affiliate of the Twins.
Just can't win.. (Oh, the redwings DID make the playoffs last year.)

I go to about 35 games between the 2, plus the Auburn Doubledays, also fairly close... A little farther-- Syracuse Chiefs.. then Binghamton Mets, Buffalo Bisons -- Bluejays

I love minor league baseball...

3. I used to love to go to Single A (Sandgnats) but now I live in AA Jacksonville

The AA prices are close to that at Marlins Park. I miss the days of 5$ Single A cheap seats.

4. Muckdogs are $7 for "premium seats." which means the first 5 rows. :>)

Redwings are $12 I think first oh 15 rows or so.
Can't beat that with a stick.

I saw the Cards' Shelby Miller pitch in Batavia several years ago, and a few others.

And bunch of Twins in ROC who later went up, and down, and up...
