May 17, 201511 yr Mike Redmond and Rob Leary out- surprised so soon. New Manager at press conference tomorrow at 11AM Slow start, cold pitching = Hot Headed Loria. Guesses who it'll be?
May 17, 201511 yr I agree with this move till some point. Some losses this season it was due to Redmonds decisions. But at the same time Loria is expecting a miracle manager. I wouldnt want to be a manager for this team because for Loria is easy to point the finger at everybody else but him.
May 17, 201511 yr So much for fucking stability. Sadly, we will never have stability with Loria as owner.
May 17, 201511 yr This is how the news came out on the Rays broadcast: Dewayne Staats: "We're getting word that the Marlins have fired Mike Redmond." Brian Anderson: "Ultimately, does it surprise you?" Staats: "No. *pause* But it's still something you don't like to see."
May 17, 201511 yr I like redmond. He is a good guy. I am a good guy too. But i cant be a doctor. I cant be a pilot. I cant be a boxer. He cant be a manager. Simple as that
May 17, 201511 yr Only logical move..even if you tank with a new manager you got to try and shake things up
May 17, 201511 yr A different manager even doing everything perfectly wins at best maybe 2 games more than what they have now. I don't love Redmond or anything but.... Oh whatever.
May 17, 201511 yr Author So much for fucking stability. I think it is a good thing- he deserved better than the team was giving him. The only way to wake this team up, is to replace the manager. They've tried everything else. I might laugh if it's Conine, and I'll buy 5 different jerseys if it's Piazza!
May 17, 201511 yr I hatethis move more so because it's confirmation of failure... BUUUUT I still think this team is full of talent and Im anxious to see what the new manager can do. It's a new beginning tomorrow and despite the record this season can still be at least a success. Start fresh and move on from here.
May 17, 201511 yr Holy shit. Did not see this coming I was just cleaning my apartment and then saw some comments on a Heyman tweet. I hope the doesn't piss Stanton off lol.
May 17, 201511 yr Well came out of left field. Gotta expect this is Loria wanting Wally Backman as manager. He loved Valentine and Guillen for being fiery managers and Backman loves to yell and scream and be obnoxious just like them. This definitely reeks of a Loria move. Six games under .500 is unacceptable but Redmond isn't responsible for the starting rotation being built poorly to start the year and some players just under performing. Redmond was never the greatest manager obviously but he wasn't the worst we've ever had. Oh well. Hopefully this change puts a fire under the players asses, but who really knows so whatever.
May 17, 201511 yr If Jack McKeon comes back, I am done with this team. they aren't doing that. it wouldn't be cute this time.
May 17, 201511 yr Because he is 84 years old. Lets see if Casey Stengal is available. He's one of the best managers of all time!
May 17, 201511 yr Sadly, we will never have stability with Loria as owner. wowzers. Correct, you are. I hate Loria.
May 17, 201511 yr Andre Dawson - he'd intimidate the shit out of everyone to win games (never happen - doubt his knees could travel far)
