April 20, 20197 yr Why doesn't that sound like a horrible idea? On an unrelated rate, I’ve actually never understood why coaches are always old has beens. Why isn’t it given to a current player who maybe isn’t great but at least has a more current approach. There’s no way these old coaches are too techy or analytical. Seems odd but idk, not really sure why it’s not a thing. Your manager at work can be your same age and it isn’t weird, not sure why it’s not like that in sports lol.
April 21, 20197 yr I'm really not sure how you justify firing a hitting coach with an offense that is this historically bad. It's not like the team expected to be competitive. It would be different if our record was like this and we still had Stanton/Yelich/Ozuna/Realmuto/Gordon.
April 21, 20197 yr I'm really not sure how you justify firing a hitting coach with an offense that is this historically bad. You don't accept being historically bad. Its possible a change in coaching can improve the results. Nobody is saying they'll suddenly become great but you also don't say "this team sucks it's ok to be horrible." You look for coaches who can make the best even out of this limited team. You've never noticed in school how different teachers can teach the same subject differently?

I'd expect this to change more over time. We're already seeing more young coaches and managers at all levels of the game.
April 21, 20197 yr Good point. I'd expect this to change more over time. We're already seeing more young coaches and managers at all levels of the game. I think Rocco Baldelli and Gabe Kapler (also Brad Ausmus) will open the doors for more recently-retired guys to take the helm. Didn't work out with Mike Matheny, but that doesn't mean it is a bad idea. I would buy season tickets to the Marlins even though I live 3,000 miles away from Marlins Park if they hired Brandon McCarthy to manage the team.
April 21, 20197 yr Oh man I liked Pariguallo , ok #bringbackbarrybonds thanks for reminding me this team had a hitting coach named Bonds …
April 21, 20197 yr anagers at all levels of the game. I think Rocco Baldelli and Gabe Kapler (also Brad Ausmus) will open the doors for more recently-retired guys to take the helm. Maybe but I doubt they'll be the ones opening the doors. I'm sure the young new managers can open the doors for themselves.
April 21, 20197 yr Marlins team motto displayed in the clubhouse: Exceed expectations, always. Marlinsbaseball.com motto: Accept sucking, always.

And had several other playoff seasons
April 21, 20197 yr I would buy season tickets to the Marlins even though I live 3,000 miles away from Marlins Park if they hired Brandon McCarthy to manage the team. McCarthy retired with 69 wins and a 4.20 ERA.
April 21, 20197 yr Didn’t matheney win a World Series as manager ? And had several other playoff seasons No. He lost a World Series but he did get there.
April 21, 20197 yr Author And here I was thinking after last nights game that firing Pags was GENIUS Then the Marlins went and got 2 hits today.
April 21, 20197 yr And here I was thinking after last nights game that firing Pags was GENIUS Then the Marlins went and got 2 hits today. That 48-hour positive wave going around this site should disappear now.
April 22, 20197 yr Stop stealing my new joke. Maybe he really is clueless and doesn't know who and is just asking?
April 22, 20197 yr Stop stealing my new joke. Oh, so you're okay with stealing bases, but jokes are off limits?
April 22, 20197 yr Didn’t matheney win a World Series as manager ? And had several other playoff seasons Any success the Cardinals had while Matheny was in charge was in spite of him, not because of him.
April 22, 20197 yr Oh, so you're okay with stealing bases, but jokes are off limits? Thank you for agreeing they are jokes.
April 24, 20197 yr Any success the Cardinals had while Matheny was in charge was in spite of him, not because of him. What do you say @Das Texan
