March 26, 200519 yr comment_459056 This is the sixthbajillion topic we've had on this. Give it a rest. Why should we fire him, the season hasn't even begun. We have nothing to base it on.

March 26, 200519 yr comment_459057 It would have been better to replace him at the end of last year. He'll be around for sure unless the O really falls on it's face. :plain Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/26484-bill-robinson/?&do=findComment&comment=459057 Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 26, 200519 yr comment_459059 i voted yes because this topic has come up far to often...the marlin hitters have to many ups and downs...guys like A.Gon have not improved so IMO we should have replaced him already...I think if the the Break this team is not hitting he'll be gone...and if there tearing it up we'll all have bill robinson for prez bumper stickers on our cars..

March 26, 200519 yr comment_459060 A successful coach knows his craft and develops good working relationships with his players and manager. A coach is not going to lose his job if he possesses one of the latter two.

March 26, 200519 yr comment_459061 It's definatly time for a new hitting coach. Robinson really hasn't helped anyone really improve. Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/26484-bill-robinson/?&do=findComment&comment=459061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 26, 200519 yr comment_459062 Tell me, what good is done if we remove him now, just before the season? And whom, pray tell, will take his place?

March 26, 200519 yr comment_459064 I've never seen a hitting coach fired in spring training, why be the first. Beinfest must trust him or he would have been out of here during the off-season. Personally hitting coaches are given too much credit when the hitters are going well and way too much when they struggle.

March 26, 200519 yr comment_459065 Let's face it: none of us knows for sure who Robinson has helped and who he hasn't, what he's suggested and what he hasn't, and what excatly he does on a daily basis. Devoid of that information, I can't really say whether he should be fired or not.

March 26, 200519 yr comment_459066 Right now? No, he should not be fired. If our offense is just plain horrible like it was last year and if our bats aren't producing like they should be after 1-2 months into the season, then yes I believe he should be replaced, but don't fire him right now. I wish the poll had a "depends on how our offense is doing after 1 month" option.

March 26, 200519 yr comment_459069 we have a team of experienced veterans who know how to hit. What exactly is Bill Robinson going to do or any other coach going to do? Pitching coaches are more affective because mechanics can go wacky(Mulder) and they have to fix it. But its not as if any of our hitters last year went well below their career averages. In fact Id make the argument he did well since Cabs developed so well under his tenure.

March 26, 200519 yr comment_459070 Hiring Mark Wiley as pitching coach was brilliant. He really helped the pitchers in Baltimore to have the best pitching staff in the AL last year.
