After the game on saturday the marlins admitted the fact that they do not try to change their approach against a pitcher that does well against them. It is no secret that the homerun approach does not work against soft tossing pitchers as it has been proven time and time again by the marlins' struggles against those type of pitchers. Jacobs' said this "I think you have to go out there and play your game," Jacobs said. "You can't change things because a certain pitcher is throwing well, or whatever....I don't think it's going to change. ... You go out there and play baseball, and that's it." therefore, unless moyer struggles to threw strikes on tuesday we are most likely going to struggle against him AGAIN caused they will refuse to change their homerun approach. However, this approach did get us to where we are at so i guess you have to lose some to win some.

That's crap. Good hitters make adjustments.

Wow way to have faith in your team.

 

EDIT: I see you were highlighting the quotes from Jake, however still terrible thread title. But Jake is an airhead.

Last time we faced him in Philly, we got 5 runs off of him.

We will win that game. And I am willing to take bets on it.

Jacobs is a silly baboon.

So you are going to take a quote from the man who is obviously the worst hitter mentally on the entire team and run it as the team mantra?

 

That said, Jake hits .429/.467/1.143 with 3 HR off Moyer in 15 ABs. I don't think he is the one who needs to change anything.

this most win series marlins coming in series to win it both team hate each other nooo love in series it going have playoff feeling we fight to play in october feeel october playoff fever

i agree with you completely

why thank you, i thought it was pretty good too. obviously i am highlighting his quotes

Unfortunately, it sometimes does seem like the team mantra. How many times have we seen a pitcher struggling to throw strikes and our guys go up, swing away and strike out.

exactly, today's game is a perfect example, but if this approach is getting us wins, then i'll take it, although it is extremely frustrating at times

Come on, there is nothing for us to concentrate on. We're not on the team. We're fans!

good idea, keeps you from getting top stressed out lol

Last time we faced him in Philly, we got 5 runs off of him.

 

 

most coming from 2 hrs from jake and eventually resulted in a loss because no one else could do nething against him

Not really

When you score 5, you should win.

The pitching wasn't good that day, and that was the problem.

 

With that said, Moyer still owns this Marlins team, in general. (starting with Uggla)

not when you are playing in the reds, phillies, or rockies home ball park. five runs are like one run in other ball parks

That's stupid.

 

Good hitters make adjustments.

I say we hit him with a pitch on his elbow the first time he bats. Throw him off kilt.

 

Our team is too aggressive, we need to start the vets, the rookies dont make adjustments and try to hit the ball to the opposite field, all they wana do is pull the ball for a duble'
