Piazza31 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 http://miamiherald.typepad.com/sports-buzz/2013/01/more-loria-behavior-criticized-dolphins-heat-canes-chatter.html This is as damning an article as I've seen about him. Nevermind his bottom line budget, but this look into how poorly run the Marlins are from top to bottom and the players feelings towards the owner and trainer is as ugly as I've seen. ### Four agents told me their players cannot trust that their injuries and rehabilitations will be handled correctly because of lack of confidence in the training staff -- a problem that a former Marlin attributes to Loria’s loyalty to trainer Sean Cunningham. Who do you think the player is? I think it's Hayes or even Ozzie Guillen based on the amount of F bombs, with the language edited a bit to read easier. Maybe it's Lomo too (based on the rehab comments). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piazza31 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 I think it might be Randy Choate- if I remember his quotes from the Hanley trade (I can't find them) they seem to be from the same person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I dunno about this... in some ways he's way too deep in everyone's business but at the same time can't someone say that Loria is just a hands on owner who cares so much about his team? Its a fault but is it a totally bad fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a fault but is it a totally bad fault? It's a bad fault when he forces the organization to keep employing incompetent personnel (trainers) and forces the people in baseball operations to make moves that hurt the team (signing guys like Buck and Bell).

mrchainsaw Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Pretty sure he isn't the only owner who sits close to the dugout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Man Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I dunno about this... in some ways he's way too deep in everyone's business but at the same time can't someone say that Loria is just a hands on owner who cares so much about his team? Its a fault but is it a totally bad fault? Pro baseball down here in South Florida has monster potential. But this organization is run terribly. And since he is "hands on" he has to bear the brunt of responsibility. It's as simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'm really upset that he demoted Brett Hayes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofthefish Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Nothing that really hasn't been said before, I certainly have no confidence in the Marlins trainers either, again something that has been said before. Maybe his fixation on 2003 team is the reason Pierre is back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I certainly have no confidence in the Marlins trainers either Monday: Player X stubbed his toe, out for Tuesday's game. Wednesday: Player X's stubbed toe still not fully healed, out til next Monday. Monday: Player X's stubbed toe will require a trip to the DL. Friday: Player X's stubbed toe appears to be healing just fine. Two Tuesday's later: Player X's stubbed toe requires Tommy John Surgery. Seems to be how things go in the trainers room.

anotherrealfan Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 sounds like Shaq when he left the Heat. Oh yes, I wish the Marlins were run like the Heat and I wish Arison would just dig in to his petty cash and buy the Marlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The part about Loria trying to give an inspirational speech to the team in Boston made me LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Man Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Wow, I just read the acticle and I can't believe that I actually have a worse opinion of Loria now. For the love of God just sell the team. You know it's bad when somebody says you're worse than Jerry Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Loria's never going to sell, nor can he be forced out, barring pictures of a dead girl or a live boy in his bed. I do find anything quoting miscellaneous whiners and losers faintly amusing. Oh, my goodness! He looked at us in the dugout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find anything quoting miscellaneous whiners and losers faintly amusing. Oh, my goodness! He looked at us in the dugout! I'm not pro FO by any means. But I gotta agree with ya here. Add in an agent or two that are disgruntled for whatever reason, plus one agent that believes he knows more than the doctors. The Miami Herald is apparently on a very anti Loria campaign. Using hearsay and quotes from either ex-players or disgruntled current players is no way to objectively report. Matter of fact, it's not a report at all. It's a smear campaign. I never take these "unnamed sources" quotes very seriously. As far as I know, the writer is making them up just to "prove" his point. No matter how much I dislike ownership, I refuse to jump on this and start screaming out, "I told ya so," simply because it is what I want to hear about our ownership.

... Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yup, "smear" about sums it up. Some "reporters" seem to think that the Marlins exist for their benefit. Just as some become medical experts whenever an injury doesn't go according to plan, as if there were such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enterthemadness Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I read the article...kept day dreaming of how I would run the Marlins...I be so weird...I would literally treat the team like it's a office comedy lol. Then I would threatened to demote the entire team to AAA...not the actual team, but in a MLB video Game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
