Ok? He was slow. What does that have to do with how he manages? You think Leyland, LaRussa, McKeon or Babe Ruth could have legged that out?

 

You're defensive today.

We all are slowly trying to figure it out.

 

I want a moderators little tag things that says i'm drunk with power.

Lebatard had Redmond on today with Lowell and Boog. Pretty funny hearing those 3 together, they sound like brothers. You know they've got some great stories, brings back some nice memories of the '03 team.

And totally fits the thinking of the powers that be. "The Florida Marlins are gone. This is a new franchise, moving in a new direction. Unless it's to our advantage to bring up the past."

 

I have nothing against Mike's hiring. But the FO got exactly what they wanted. A relatively no-name that comes cheap and is basically a yes man. I can imagine the news conference went something like this....."Red. Sit. Speak. Good boy. Here's a cookie."

 

The only two guys that got us a championship? Leyland and Trader Jack. Not yes men in any way. Red will be gone before we get to that point. But like I said before, getting fired as manager of the Marlins isn't a blemish on one's resume. It's a stepping stone to a better job.

I don't think Red took this job to be a yes man, and I think the Marlins respect him more than that. I think Loria finally has a guy whose opinion he may respect, which means he may just let him do his job.

 

Girardi was a good baseball guy, but let's face it, you just don't yell at an owner... good way to lose your job. Fredi getting bounced was simply Loria choosing sides, but the guy lasted almost 4 years here because he was a hell of a lot like Red. He had a history dating back to '92 with this franchise, and was a likeable and respected manager. Ozzie got fired for being a retard.

 

Loria may be a hothead, but I think Red is the right guy to break that streak and build some culture here.

that remains to be seen, you have nothing to base this on other than it being his first job.

if he's not a yes-man, he gets fired. that fact's been laid out pretty clearly for Red.

We are the pit where baseball goes to die

Each manager had reasons for being fired. Exactly.

Torborg was incompetent and firing him got a World Series.

 

Girardi and his braces yelled at his boss during a game and told him shut up and sit down- and there was talk already of going to the Yankees when Torre was done before he was hired. Him being available probably helped fired Torre.

Everyone knew Freddy was going to Atlanta before he was even hired here, and Freddy slowly didn't care about his job anymore. He got fired after not giving a sh*t.

Edwin quit when the team massively underperformed after an impressive may. He knew he was a interm for 2012 even on a one year deal.

Ozzie dug his own grave- after Castro comments and telling Loria to look in the mirror. At the end of the day Loria did, and he realized he f***ed up.

He went to every game and observed Mike Redmond in the dugout including Spring Training games. Thus, you're wrong!

Agreed completely. Girardi was keeping the seat warm here while he waited for the Yankees job, same goes for Fredi and ATL. They wanted to break in, their jobs weren't available yet, let's start off with the Marlins!

 

Mike Redmond isn't managing the Marlins to move into Ron Gardenhire's office someday. He legitimately wants to be here, and he has proven he can win in Miami. All he has to do to remind his players of that fact is raise his right fist and show off his big ass ring. I think we're going to be seeing better days ahead.

You really need to pay attention. Not a season ticket holder. You guys have convinced me it is better to watch the games at home, throw tantrums every time someone mentions our poor attendance, and watch our rookie catcher blow kisses with the dugout.

I have no idea why you continue to use the "throw a tantrum" line. It's literally the 10th time you've said it. I've been one of the most critical people here of Marlins attendance figures.

Yea. Okay. Whatever you say.

 

That was a generalized statement. Not everything is all about you and your self appointed greatness.

If you aren't referring to me, then next time don't quote me in your post when you make a statement like that. On top of that, many people here absolutely are critical of attendance.

 

Oh, and you don't believe me? Here's just one example of my attendance criticism from April:

 

Also, pretty bad attendance fail tonight. Paid attendance was less than 25,000, which means that there was certainly less than that in the park.

 

If things don't pick up soon, it's going to be hard to imagine the Marlins averaging 30,000+, which would be a pretty big embarrassment.

 

 

Yeah, I'm really throwing a tantrum there, guy.

 

I've pretty much been saying the same thing all year long and made similar statements about attendance for Sun Life. Any poster here with a clue would vouch for that.

MIAMI — On Wednesday, MLB’s GM Meetings will get underway in Palm Springs, Calif., and the Marlins still are looking to finalize manager Mike Redmond’s staff.

Miami is in the market for a bench coach, hitting coach and either a pitching or bullpen coach.

Right now, the Marlins have three coaches on staff, infield coach Perry Hill, third base coach Joe Espada and Reid Cornelius.

Cornelius has been the bullpen coach, and he could remain in that capacity unless he is named pitching coach.

A name receiving consideration for hitting coach is Anthony Iapoce, who has ties to the Marlins organization and also to Redmond. But it is unclear if the team has asked the Cubs for permission to interview him.

Iapoce, 39, was the Blue Jays roving hitting coordinator the past three years. Redmond managed in Toronto’s Minor League system the past two season, and the two have a close friendship.

Iapoce also has history with the Marlins. In 2007, he was the hitting coach at Class A Greensboro on then manager Edwin Rodriguez’s staff. And he was the hitting coach for Class A Jupiter in 2008-09. During his time in the organization, he worked with Logan Morrison and Giancarlo Stanton.

Of late, Iapoce has been in high demand. The Cubs on Nov. 1 hired him as a special assistant to the general manager/player development. If he remains in Chicago, he will serve as the team’s Minor League hitting coordinator.

Iapoce was recommended to the Cubs by their player development director Brandon Hyde, who formerly was the Marlins bench coach. Recently, Chicago hired Tim Cossins away from the Marlins, where he was the catching coordinator.

– Joe Frisaro

Well, shoot, let's get that guy, if he was the Jays coordinator of the hitting variety.

According to an article in Toronto Redmond has mentioned Blue Jays bench coach Don Wakamatsu in conversation.
