April 20, 20197 yr Lame. It’s not Pags’ fault the team is in year 2 of a rebuild and Brinson swings at every breaking ball.
April 20, 20197 yr Author I’m sure the Marlins will quickly transform into an NL East offensive menace.
April 20, 20197 yr Damn it I liked Paglationi. It wasn't Panatinilo's fault the team wasn't hitting, I feel. But whatever, guess there had to be a scapegoat and for this time it was Paglaritigo.
April 20, 20197 yr I'm sure they'll bring back former Yankee Tino Martinez. With such low expectations this year the Marlins can't be accused of choking this time around.
April 20, 20197 yr Someone always pays the price. I don’t think it was his fault either. They aren’t going to magically turn into an offensive juggernaut
April 20, 20197 yr I'm sure they'll bring back former Yankee Tino Martinez This is what I also assume.
April 20, 20197 yr Most fans didn't know or care who the hitting coach was. They just know that Pachanga band is awesome.
April 20, 20197 yr He would be a very good hitting coach if he had Yelich, Realmuto and Ozuna. And to fire him after an offensive explosion where we scored on a walk and a hit batter is so unfair.
April 20, 20197 yr I know it's not his fault alone but I don't hate this move, I think it's actually a more realistic move than firing the manager or cutting the players. The team can't hit so you change the guy in charge of the hitting philosophies and see if a new guy can guide them to do better. If a math class isn't learning any math, what is the most realistic change that should be made... the teacher, the students, or the principal?
April 20, 20197 yr The move needed to be made for sure. Though, I'm not sure anyone can fix the issues this team has. Super depressing season lol

The team can't hit so you change the guy in charge of the hitting philosophies and see if a new guy can guide them to do better. It is the first move. When things don't improve, the manager will go next.
April 20, 20197 yr It is the first move. When things don't improve, the manager will go next. No, the assistant hitting coach is next. I'm kidding, you're right, Don is very close to being cut too. And I'm not saying he shouldn't go and I'm not saying this shit storm is Pagatino's fault. I'm just saying I think this was the right first move as opposed to the usual reaction of complaining when a team makes a move like this. So what is Frank Menechino doing these days? I really liked him. I felt like he was the one hitting coach who seemed to make a noticeable difference as opposed to most coaches who are just lost in the background.
April 20, 20197 yr I think the Marlins should announce everything in the same terrible Spanglish they use in their marketing. Marlins fire el Coach de Bateo Miguel Pagliarulo.
April 20, 20197 yr No, the assistant hitting coach is next. I'm kidding, you're right, Don is very close to being cut too.

I really liked him. I felt like he was the one hitting coach who seemed to make a noticeable difference as opposed to most coaches who are just lost in the background. I was going to say this as well. This move means Mattingly is also on a short leash if things don't change soon.
April 20, 20197 yr What if they made Mattingly the hitting coach? ? Why doesn't that sound like a horrible idea?
April 20, 20197 yr Why doesn't that sound like a horrible idea? Cause it isn't. His problems are bullpen management and lineup decisions.
April 20, 20197 yr Cause it isn't. His problems are bullpen management and lineup decisions. he was an excel baseball player but I think Don isn't cut to coach or manage
