Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/RCocaineBurner]

Look, I end up watching a lot of baseball broadcasts. Some of them are great, some of them are way too staid, some of them are trying to go the Gus way and yell a bunch, which sucks.

But only the Marlins drag up some dead-voiced team rep or associated tax shelter “nonprofit” spokesman for the ENTIRE HALF INNING.

It’s so fucking tacky, running an interminable sponcon ad for the product we are already watching now trying to fix attendance issues. Just a horrible, horrible broadcast decision that everyone involved clearly hates.

[u/RCocaineBurner → u/RCocaineBurner]

And just to clarify, other teams will bring up their nonprofits people etc but they at least sound like they want to be there and have some familiarity with what’s going on on the field. The marlins just fuckin throw anybody they can find in the booth to talk about, idk, what ice cream parlors are near their hotel in Tampa (actual thing they’re discussing now)

[u/TealandBlackForever → u/RCocaineBurner]

She's literally the Team President lol.

Not saying it's the most effective strategy for selling season tickets, but sure seems like you misunderstood who she was and what she was there for.

[u/Apothecary_Blues → u/TealandBlackForever]

She’s the president of business!! Not the teams president! Her whole job is to find ways to sell shit. 

[u/TealandBlackForever → u/Apothecary_Blues]

That's what a "team president" has historically been. It's basically David Samson's position. She's obviously not in baseball ops, but essentially the #2 after Sherman. She is in charge of all of the team's business operations. It's a huge deal and not just "selling shit."

[u/TealandBlackForever → u/TealandBlackForever]

Teams started specifying "President of Business Operations" after POBO became a more common position. Historically, the GM was the top position in baseball ops. Now that POBOs are commonplace, teams have clarified the team president title more.

Samson really didn't have much to do with baseball operations. He presided over team finances and business operations.

[u/Apothecary_Blues → u/TealandBlackForever]

Do tell! How is that job anything more than finding ways to sell shit? I can’t imagine she has any sway on what happens on the field, so outside of bringing is businesses and peddling dumb ticket packages what is it you think her job handles? 

[u/TealandBlackForever → u/Apothecary_Blues]

She is charge of literally anything finance related to the Marlins lol.

What planet are you living on? You are talking like somebody who has never held a job before, especially for a major company.

[u/Apothecary_Blues → u/TealandBlackForever]

lol and their finances are based on….. say it with me….. sales!! 😂😂 you can try to make it sound as professional as you want, it boils down to selling shit and it was a terrible decision to put her on a live broadcast when she literally has nothing to do with the product we are all watching. 

[u/TealandBlackForever → u/Apothecary_Blues]

Your ignorance and lack of wordliness are showing.

It's not just sales. It's managing resources, budgeting, staffing, facilities, PR, long-term financial strategy. It's like a CEO/CFO in any corporation on the planet, to some degree.

Nobody who has held an "adult job" in the world would be saying the nonsense you are.
