July 21, 201511 yr Admin, when Jennings became manager, they used a line that they wanted a more direct connection between the clubhouse and the front office, saying that DJ would provide this and somewhat implying that Redmond was a communication issue. Is this line of thinking something true that could come into play in the hiring of the next manager or was it more just a BS statement to ease people into believing in Jennings?

Is this line of thinking something true that could come into play in the hiring of the next manager or was it more just a BS statement to ease people into believing in Jennings? I don't know for a fact but I assumed that was them trying to rationalize the decision to hire DJ. From everything I have heard, they will not care about the "connection" with the next guy. They just want to bring in someone who knows how to manage.
July 21, 201511 yr Why do they now suddenly want someone who knows how to manage? They didn't seem to care before.
July 21, 201511 yr Why do they now suddenly want someone who knows how to manage? They didn't seem to care before. Who knows?
July 21, 201511 yr I don't know for a fact but I assumed that was them trying to rationalize the decision to hire DJ. From everything I have heard, they will not care about the "connection" with the next guy. They just want to bring in someone who knows how to manage. I have full confidence in Loria to make that happen, I mean he's only had, what is it 4 managers since Marlins Park opened in 2012
July 21, 201511 yr Why do they now suddenly want someone who knows how to manage? They didn't seem to care before. I assume it was just a line of bullshit, mostly because I"m sure Jennings didnt get a raise out of his new gig. So Loria can sorta save money and not pay 3 managers at one time.
July 21, 201511 yr Seriously I've thought this idea today. I send a Hill-Jennings dismissal letter, not email, to owner Loria continually until he accept it. Sorry, guys.
July 21, 201511 yr Author Why do they now suddenly want someone who knows how to manage? They didn't seem to care before. Mainly because the marlins spin a wheel to decide all their decisions
July 21, 201511 yr Mainly because the marlins spin a wheel to decide all their decisions very accurate. Geez we really have it bad as Marlins fans huh. Better than Cubs but still
July 21, 201511 yr Dan Jennings isn't a good manager but general managers are probably 50x more important than the manager. He happens to be both pretty much though so yes he needs to go. This team won't go anywhere without a complete overhaul of our scouting department and front office. As an entire organization we are in complete turmoil.
July 21, 201511 yr Hey guys Kolek pitched 6 innings last night!! if that's an accomplishment we're in serious trouble .
July 21, 201511 yr Author if that's an accomplishment we're in serious trouble . Considering it's the first time in his professional career he has, I'd say it's quite the accomplishment
July 21, 201511 yr Author He had a good line too. Andrew Heaney also pitched well last night. Heaney been killing it. Makes me really wonder about our pitching coaches...
July 21, 201511 yr Heaney been killing it. Makes me really wonder about our pitching coaches... culture of losing bro. Heaney puts on another uniform and the curse is broken
July 21, 201511 yr culture of losing bro. Heaney puts on another uniform and the curse is broken Heaney was great throughout the minors with us too.
July 21, 201511 yr Heaney was great throughout the minors with us too. I know. Good point. He never wore a Miami Marlins uniform during his minor league games either
July 21, 201511 yr The fact that this organization felt that Heaney and Nicolino were similar prospects after Heaney struggled in a small sample last year goes to show how incompetent they are.
July 21, 201511 yr As an organization we are just incompetent. Scouting, player development, front office, coaching, ownership, public relations. Just a cluster fuck of ineptitude. Its amazing how big of a difference it would be if we could get Micky Arison to buy the team. Or Mark Cuban. I would die of happiness if we could replace Loria with Cuban.
July 21, 201511 yr Author The fact that this organization felt that Heaney and Nicolino were similar prospects after Heaney struggled in a small sample last year goes to show how incompetent they are. I really wonder if it's our pitching coaches. DeSclafani has become useful for the reds magically as well after we traded.
