2160317, Marlins' home opener last night was typically pathetic

The announced 34k attended, but it looked a lot closer to 25k. They (Marlins management) kicked out 5 guys for wearing "protest" tshirts, then tried to say that they were removed for failure to show ID to police officers, which the officers are saying isn't true. In the bottom of the 8th, I think, some guy on the third base line tried to get a "Lets go Marlins" chant started (you could hear plainly on TV because that place is an echo chamber, like Sunlife with a bit of roof) and, after getting a few participants going, the cameras then showed a steward asking the man to sit down. Greg Dobbs is their cleanup hitter and starting firstbaseman. There may be no point in Stanton even taking a bat to the plate with him this year.
