June 11, 200521 yr I just wanted to say this before the "OMG Bill Robinson isn't the problem" crowd came out. I still want him fired. :thumbup

June 11, 200521 yr I really don't think this is his fault. The lineup shuffling wasn't helping us, and let's just face it, sometimes players have slumps. We just happened to have a period when 3 or more of our players were in major hitting slumps (Lowell, Lo Duca, Pierre), and having your leadoff hitter in a slump tends to hurt your team. As a team we're hitting .270, which shows that things could be a lot worse. Until tonight, we had been having so much trouble scoring runners that were in scoring position.
June 11, 200521 yr Bill Robinsons still needs to get fired. I don't care if we score 25 runs tonights. This will just show our inconsistency when we score few runs tomorrow. Don'let the fetus decieve you!
June 11, 200521 yr I'd also like to add that it seems Rich Waltz reads the boards and is a very pro-Robinson guy. He failed to mention two (three to some) years of an inept offense. But I don't blame him he's only been down here for a few months. Waltzy, mention that next time you chew us out. :thumbup

Since 2002 we have the same problems even with new hitters. Before Enc came here he tore apart Cincy's opponents with homers, doubles, bunts, singles, etc. After being Robinsoned he has sucked.
June 11, 200521 yr Why do you think Waltz reads the boards? 805141[/snapback] Certain pro-Bill Robinson things he said during the rally.

June 11, 200521 yr My sentiments for Robinson won't change until this team hits as well with RISP as they do otherwise, and we aren't bottom dwellers in runs scored.

June 11, 200521 yr What do you guys expect to happen once Robinson gets fired? For us to magically start hitting? That's just not going to happen. The time to fire him was after last season. It's too late now.

June 11, 200521 yr My sentiments for Robinson won't change until this team hits as well with RISP as they do otherwise, and we aren't bottom dwellers in runs scored. 805155[/snapback] Exactly if this offense starts scoring runs like they are supposed to, I'll drop my case against him. But this is going to take a while to happen.
June 11, 200521 yr I'm not going to demand Robinson's firing, just like I wasn't demanding that players be traded. Ride it out, this team is good enough to win. As crappy as they'd been playing, it's only been a 2-week slide. Give them time, they're good enough to turn it around.

It's too late now. 805168[/snapback] Ofcourse not. This is going to take a while. But I'd rather fire him and see what a new hitting coach can go before thinking of trading Lowell, Pierre or any other player.

June 11, 200521 yr Someone should start a topic that targets Rich Waltz and asks him to post a reply. Then we can know for sure.
June 11, 200521 yr I just wanted to say this before the "OMG Bill Robinson isn't the problem" crowd came out. I still want him fired. :thumbup 805090[/snapback] Agreed, I still want him gone as well. 1 good game does not make up for anything.
June 11, 200521 yr Can the 'fire Robinson' crowd keep it low key when the Marlins have a 12R 17H night? please
June 11, 200521 yr Someone should start a topic that targets Rich Waltz and asks him to post a reply. Then we can know for sure. 805181[/snapback] Well known people will never reveal their identity. They are at least some Marlins Executive/staff on these boards, they just wont reveal themselfs. :cool
