August 7, 200521 yr Many people wanted to fire him to spark the team. Something else did. Move on. The offense is still underperforming and has for three years. However I somehow doubt we could easily find one to bring the best out of all these guys.
August 10, 200521 yr This is pointless because everyone knows that no one is being fired this year. However, I wouldn't mind both Robinson and Jeff Cox taking a hike in the offseason.
August 10, 200521 yr Fire Bill Robinson. 896895[/snapback] I still laugh whenever someone says this and it isn't because I agree/disagree with it. I just think it has become the official slogan of 2005. LOL. It just has a funny ring to it or something... maybe I am just getting sleepy. Fire Bill Robinson. JK.
August 10, 200521 yr I still have a difficult time seeing where he has helped Mikey or Pierre this year. I vote for finding a new hitting coach next year. I really don't expect anything to happen this year.
August 10, 200521 yr I like Jeff Cox. 897037[/snapback] No, you just like cox. I never really wanted Bill fired anyways.
August 10, 200521 yr wow another poll. cant say im shocked. i think alot of people took frustration out on bill earlier in the year when it was never really his fault. the players just werent producing as expected.
August 10, 200521 yr I never really cared either way...to me it just seemed like change for the sake of change. But it seems like this team has been hitting better lately (before the Albuquerque invasion), for what it's worth.
August 10, 200521 yr I still have a difficult time seeing where he has helped Mikey or Pierre this year. 897075[/snapback] but at the same time, does he get any credit for Encarnacion and Alex?

If the player is not performing, it's the coaches fault. If the player is doing well, it's the player who gets all the credit. I suspect it just comes with the territory of being a coach, but the guy has to get a break once in a while. There's only so much a hitting coach can do. I remember McKeon stating in an interview on 790 one time that alot of times the big problem with hitters is that when their swing gets tweaked by the hitting coach and they don't see immediate success with the new approach they get frustrated and go back to their old style when they go up to the plate. (That's a nice way for Jack to imply that some of the Marlins players are stubborn as hell) I mean it's only natural for a manager to say things that back up a fellow coach, but I still thought it might be of importance.
