I'm sorry but a manager not only needs to allow his players to show emotion but have the guts to get in their faces when they need a swift kick in the a&*. He had the same problem last year and it's happening again now. If they are going to be successful it will NOT be with this guy. Until I hear him give the team a major league a&%chew, he needs to GO. :mad

What makes you think Loria wants him to be successful ? Personally I think Freddi is gone if Cox hangs it up in Atlanta after this year. His family still lives in Atlanta, and Freddi I'm sure can't wait to escape from Loria's cheap a**.

Yes lets fire the man who's kept a team with the lowest(by Far) payroll in baseball, that many predicted to lose 100+ games in contention to almost July. Get rid of him yesterday, today is too late.

Do you honestly think Fredi had much to do with the team's early success this year? Or maybe it was the fact that they lead the majors in home runs. Now they aren't hitting the home runs as regularly, and the other flaws of the team are more apparent. The roster is just not as good as we originally thought.

Yes and Jeff Conine needs to be hired!!

Really? I think this team is just as good as I originally thought. The pitching sucks and the bats are great. You make it sound as if we haven't been scoring runs.

 

In the last 10 games, these sh*tty 10 games, we have scored an average of 5 runs per game. Only twice did we score less than 3 runs.

I do think Fredi needs to be fired, and just like the Toronto Blue Jays did lets have a blast from the past and hire Jack Mckeon.

I think Fredi is doing a good job with these guys. You never know what is going on behind closed doors. What Fredi says to the media doesnt mean that is the same thing he says to the players. Maybe he is not into brining clubhouse issues out of the clubhouse. Fredi might make moves that make me think abit but what manager is perfect?

lolwut

all im hearing in this thread is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH...freddi is fine...moving along

I remember when he was first hired Fredi made it clear that he would never be the type of manager who publicly berates his players. He said something to the effect that any issues with any of his players would always be dealt with privately. So I agree with you that it's difficult to tell what goes on behind closed doors. It may be frustrating to see what we perceive as a lack of fire as far as getting after the guys but we just don't know.

I think Fredi is doing a fine job. He has made several moves that have worked out very well. For example, playing Cantu at first and Helms at third while Jacobs DH in American league parks. That move helped the defense and the offense at the same time. Putting the "lefty shift" on with Cantu playing behind second base leaving Hanley in the SS position also worked well.

 

Our payroll doesn't allow for a starting rotation and bullpen that could be managed more conventionally. It would be great if our starters went 8 innings. Fredi would bring in the set-up guy in the 8th and the closer in the 9th and that's it.

 

The club is doing much better than expected. If you are going to blame him for what has gone wrong, you have to give him credit for what has gone right. All in all, I am happy with Fredi. If the Marlins finish 2 games off the lead in the division (that is where we are today) Fredi will be the NL manager of the year.

I'd rather just be insulting. No worries; you're on the sane side of this argument.

I don't think Fredi is a good in game manager.

 

But at the same time, I don't think he's responsible for the bad pitching and bad defense that goes with this team. I don't see how another manager fixes those problems. The Marlins main problems are mainly personnel related.

I'm not Fredi's biggest fan but the problem ain't Fredi. Like Rab said, the pitching sucks. We knew it was going to suck. We knew we would hit a bunch of homers. I'm friggin' flabbergasted that we've done this well. If we are seeing the team we all expected to see before the season and yet we're in second place, not last, then maybe Fredi is actually doing a decent job.

Freddi has nothing to do with the Marlins' failure or success this year.

Managers don't control slumps, I don't know why people assume they do...

 

Managers basically control: Pitch counts, hit and runs, fielding shifts and who starts a game... and if your solution to slump busting is putting Andino in over, like Jacobs or something, rethink that...

 

Managers make sure the players are ready to play the game, and I think Fredi, for the most part, has done that...

 

I think that a lot of people on this site got spoiled by our hot start and "world-beaters" attitude, we'll we MAY be regressing to the mean, but, if we are, we're still improved from last year, and have room to get better the next couple of years....

 

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth

LOL didn't Garbageman say we would be .500 by July?

A quick forum search says the only time he ever mentioned July was on April 22nd when he predicted that Miller was going to be sent down to AA and then called up in July when he "learned to pitch".

Heh, Freddi should realize when a game is out of reach. I think if a dude like Hendrickson is getting shelled, he needs to make him suck it up and last 5-6 innings for the sake of the bullpen. Losing by 40 only hurts as much as losing by 1.
