Come on. Every week people are calling for someone else's head. Hermida, Jacobs, Uggla, Hammer. This is our damn team for the rest of the season, let's support them. We've won with them all season long

 

So vote that you have faith.

 

Personally, while I have been against some of the hate some players have been getting, I think its justified with Josh. He just isn't healthy, and hasn't been since he came back. Nobody can really deny it either. Its hard because he's a nice kid and makes you want to root for him, but lets face it, he sucks right now, and it doesn't look like he's close to snapping out of it.

 

What's the alternative, Gonzo? Then he goes 0-4 one game and we'll be burning him at the stake. I understand Hammer isn't the Hammer of old but this is OUR team that got us this far, we need to have faith. Last week it was Jacobs, then he gets hot at Shea and now the bullseye moves to someone else. Sometimes its having the right mix of players that makes a team good. Look at the Yankees, they've been fielding a team of allstars for the last couple of years and haven't won anything. They won their WS with guys like Scott Brocius, Paul O'Neill, Tino Martinez, guys that on paper didn't blow you away but made it work as a team. These Marlins have a similar chemistry, a lot of guys on paper don't look like allstars, but somehow as a team they make it work

 

First of all, comparing us to a Yankees team that won over 100 games multiple times is a TERRIBLE analogy.

 

Second, Jake was cold. Josh is not healthy. There is a difference. Hitters go through hot and cold streaks, but Josh just isn't healthy right now and its plain as daylight. His bat speed isn't there, the back is still bothering him, and I don't see how waiting it out is going to do anything... a bad back doesn't just get better by playing baseball everyday.

Josh couldent hit water if he fell out of a boat right now. He is swinging though so many pitches he needs to go down in the line up.

As much as Willy has been cold lately, I just don't think Gonzo full-time is the right move.

My analogy is terrible. Yet all the bandwagon jumping is fine. Maybe we should trade Hanley for Sheffield, b/c he's cooled off. I mean its just out of hand with all these.. "get rid of so-and-so" There's no support at all, everyday there's a new dismantling scenario. I'm fan of this team regardless who's on the field. Can we be better? Probably. But we can also be worse. Why don't talk about how much the Philly's and Mets suck rather than our own team.

You know, there is always going to be negative fans that jump on someone all the time. You know what else? There's always going to be positive fans, that defend everyone all the time and don't want you to jump on anyone. Neither extreme is good.

 

However Willingham has been garbage for 2 months, and nobody on this board has called him out on it yet, because he "plays hard". Well we're in a pennant race... its no longer about playing hard, its about winning, and if he's not healthy enough to help us do that, then you know what, Fredi has to make a decision about it.

 

And why the hell should we talk about the Phillies or the Mets? This is a Marlins forum. We're here to discuss the Fish. By the way, if you ever bother to look at a Phillies or Mets board, it makes this place look as upbeat as Disney World on Christmas.

I disagree with a little bit of what you both have said...

 

"This is the team that has got us this far." yea they suck right now.

"Jake was cold, Josh is not healthy." thats an opinion, why is Willingham playing if he is hurt?

 

BTW... THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A MARLINS BANDWAGON FAN RIGHT NOW!

I love the Marlins but your dead wrong with comparision those Yankee teams of the mid 90's. They had smart players and won many games and world series by taking pitchers deep in counts to knock out the opposing starters in the 6th inning , they almost always made productive outs to knock in a run. Those teams never beat themselves with defensive or mental errors . If your looking for a sports comparision for the 2008 Marlins I would suggest golfer John Daley . The Marlins are talented as hell , but because of their undiscipline grip it and grip philosophy they lose to alot of teams and lose a lot of games they shouldnt lose.

"Jake was cold, Josh is not healthy." thats an opinion, why is Willingham playing if he is hurt?

 

Jake was cold, thats not really an opinion. Willingham hurt, yeah I think so. Maybe he's not, but his bat speed looks way off, and that is something a bad back will do to you. I've never seen Josh slump this badly, he is usually a pretty consistent hitter, not streaky like Jacobs, so I'm going to go ahead and assume something is still wrong with him physically.

Why in God's name would Fredi Gonzalez be playing a hurt player even if you are correct, just more of a reason to bash Fredi.

 

Jacobs was cold... and isn't exactly warm right now, I guess he is a little less colder. (that was my point)

Here's the thing, a bad back isn't going to get better playing, but its not really going to get worse either. Thats why. Its one of those injuries that won't really heal until he has time to rest it, and Josh is choosing to fight through and play this season, like most guys would. Fredi doesn't really have a lot of alternatives anyways, its unfair to ask Gonzo to be an everyday player at this point in his career.

 

If you follow basketball, Josh is kind of in the same situation Dwyane Wade was with the Heat last year. Its the type of injury you can play through, but you're not going to be as effective until you have extensive time off to rest it.

Come on. Every week people are calling for someone else's head. Hermida, Jacobs, Uggla, Hammer. This is our damn team for the rest of the season, let's support them. We've won with them all season long

With the Yankee analogy I wasn't trying to make a point that we played like them, I was trying to say it was a similar scenario where we have guys that work well as a team. I think the concept of chemistry is very overlooked.

Constructive criticize is all good, but things around here are a bit extreme. Everyday someone is getting sold out. At the beginning of the season it was Uggla, then he got hot. All season its been Jake, who I think has done a good job at first, granted he's not a superstar, or the second coming of Christ, Dallas McPherson, but he's been decent. I just think some people are too quick to change a team that was predicted to have the worst record in baseball and is fighting for the playoffs. There is some reason why we are where we weren't supposed to be

Are you new to forums or something!?

 

:lol

 

It's not like this doesn't happen anywhere else this isn't the type of "drink your coffee and read the newspaper" forum.

 

Find me one and post the link.

 

EDIT:

It's part of the fun, you go through both the up's and down's of a team.

 

What do you think the Mets board would look like after a loss like this.

First of all, this is what sports fans do. They criticize the guys that are underachieving, they overreact over wins and losses, they hype up their prospects. Its never going to change.

 

Second, Josh has sucked for 2 months. 2 months. 2 months. Its overdue that someone call him out on it. What are you the thread police? Where were you when people called out Uggla for slumping a couple weeks, or Jake even while he was still hitting homers?

 

And judging on the voting in this thread, most agree with me anyways. This is not something I thought of just based on tonight, or the last week. I think Willingham is legitimately injured, and should not be out there right now. Do I have to start this thread after a solid win so I don't look like I'm being reactionary just to get your approval?

Agreed RUTM.

I don't know what is up wit Josh. He was a power hitting player, i believe he is still not his 100% self. I remember in the beginning of the year think he was going to anchor this offense, then the injury occured. This has been a nagging injury, Josh is a great player, but may be through in productivity. I still think he has some juice left in him. He just needs to rest when the season ends and he will come back refreshed after getting some rest in the offseason

You're right, let me join in on the fun, I think we should get rid of Sanchez, he lost 2 starts in a row. Let's move Hendrickson back to the rotation

Your sarcasm isn't funny, if you have nothing to say then just ignore the thread. Nobody asked you to post in it.

It doesn't look good for Josh. I don't like how he's approaching pitches at the plate. One of his strikeouts tonight was looking at a 3rd strike right down the middle, with a runner on 3rd base. Why he didn't swing at it is beyond me. The trade option is not realistic until after the season is over, because he won't clear waivers.

all the sh*t that happened tonight i believ that dino cantu or fredo if they had switched with hammer jake and hermida coulda drove hanley in

 

y dont wee go back t the lineup we had against the mets also send hammer down to aaa he need to get his swing back and he isnt helping the team right now

Striking out looking is almost worse than striking out swinging because when your swinging at least your attempting to hit the ball. Josh just leaves the bat on his shoulders way too much. I understand that he may not be at full health, but that's not really good for the Marlins and playing because you want to rather than playing for your team is wrong.

 

A little selfishness here, idk.

Amezega and Gonzalez are both playing better than him, they should be getting the playing time.
