Marlins 32435346536454676 DP of the season.

 

 

I don't even mind Mattingly in-game, but the improvements him and the coaches have had on our players is far more important than any in game decisions. The fact that guys like Dietrich, Prado, Ichiro, Ozuna, Realmuto, etc... have improved so much over their previous seasons work says a great deal about the coaching staff. The patchwork done with a starting rotation that was incomplete at the start of the season (and still is) while staying in a playoff spot cannot be understated. 

 

I have no issues with Mattingly as a manager. I firmly believe he's gotten the best out of a lot of our players and has this team playing at the level they should be at (as opposed to guys like Jennings, Fredi, etc... who often had the team playing below expectations). 

 

I'm completely happy with the season.

 

 

This series :Padres 3HR, Marlins 0HR.......

 

 

7 hits, 0 runs. Let's break records tonight.

 

 

My god this offense is embarrassing.

It seems wrong to give Mattingly credit for that.

 

 

7 hits through 4 IP but no runs is crazy to me. The team still has problems with not drawing walks or getting big power hits when needed. 

 

 

Mattingly is a top 10 manager. i really like don. flaws and all.

 

 

Hech hitting into that DP was foreseen by the entire stadium, every tv viewer and radio listener, and everyone watching a stream or mlb at bat.

 

 

Leadoff on base followed with GIDP,yea just why not !?

 

 

It seems wrong to give Mattingly credit for that.

 

He's the lead in the coaching staff. Any improvements with existing players goes to their respective coaches, which includes Mattingly (who watches them in practice every day and always has final say over adjustments). I think it's completely wrong to not give him credit for those improvements because of disagreements with his in-game decision making.

 

 

Just fucking brutal how horrible this offense is.

 

And once again Clayton Richard finds a way to face the Marlins and do well. 

 

 

I said,if we can't QUIT the bad habit of LOB then we would GO NOWHERE this season.

 

 

Good lord Gary Sanchez homered again??!

I don't even think I necessarily agree with giving  most of the credit to the coaches, either.

 

At most, I can say that Mattingly keeps the clubhouse healthy. But so did Mike Redmond.

 

 

Good lord Gaby Sanchez homered again??!

 

 

 

 

hes still in the league..

 

C.O.L

 

 

Just fucking brutal how horrible this offense is.

I wouldn't say the offense is brutal. 3rd in major league baseball in batting average. Problem is they don't draw walks, have below average power and score a league average amount of runs. 

 

All in all it is a talented offense with flaws. Today it has shown but overall in the season the offense has helped carry a starting rotation with major problems.

 

 

Good lord Gary Sanchez homered again??!

 

 

 

 

Maybe he self had more HRs then our whole team in this month.

 

 

oh god...

 

 

Come on Urena

 

 

If the Padres score here, the season is over.

High batting averages don't mean much in baseball if you field a team full of singles hitters.  The main number you should look at is runs scored and they are bottom 8 now in baseball I believe 

 

 

I mean Stanton and Bour are the primary run producers, it's not a mystery. We just can't replace the extra-base hits.

At most, I can say that Mattingly keeps the clubhouse healthy. But so did Mike Redmond.

 

The problem with Redmond is that he had a young roster that he had overperform in 2014, leading to inflated expectations in 2015. 

 

Honestly, I don't think there was anything wrong with Redmond. His in-game decision making was meh but he wasn't terrible as a manager. If I'm being honest it was unfair to him that he wasn't given more time to right the ship in 2015.
