July 18, 20224 yr We suck at hitting. He sucks at coaching hitting. Holdover from our Yankee regime. Fire him and hire someone who knows how to hit and/or coach how to hit. If he was a doctor, he's be facing multiple malpractice suits.

Either way, he's not the only one to blame. Five hitting coaches!

July 24, 20224 yr Author One walk tonight and it was the guy they called up . I'm sure we can fix that, lol. For the love of everything why is our hitting coach still our hitting coach?
August 7, 20224 yr Author It's Sunday and Marcus Thames is still employed. If he was a doctor, he could be sued for malpractice.

August 7, 20224 yr only thing i can think of is that the season is lost and his contract expires end of season and Brucey doesn't to pay the extra money.
August 7, 20224 yr LeBlanc, who they took forever to promote, has had a solid start so far. How long before Marcus Thames ruins him?

To be completely fair a lot of guys have good starts to their career until the league adjusts to them. Got to wait and see how they adjust back before declaring them a solid player. That said, Thames will also be part of that process (unless he's gone at seasons end as I think along with Don) so yeah he won't ruin him necessarily but he won't help him much either.
August 7, 20224 yr BA and Berti might need to stay down a while to learn from him their SSS rehab numbers are horrendous 3/29 4 BB's 16 K's halfway through tonight's game.

August 8, 20224 yr 8 minutes ago, Michael said: Did you find it? sure did. the one i can picture was a Fleer I think? It had a greenish border going vertically on one side i think. I can remember it being listed in Tuff Stuff magazine as one of the "hot" cards to find. Edit: I guess the Fleer one I'm thinking of is from 1992 and his rookie card is from 1991 so maybe I never did find it? No idea. Edited August 8, 20224 yr by hovertical research
August 15, 20224 yr Author it's Sunday another horrific weekend at the plate. And Marcus Thames is still stealing money from the organization. 98
August 21, 20224 yr Author They shouldn't let him back on the plane. Our entire hitting approach needs to be scrapped and remodeled. Utter disaster and disgrace.
August 21, 20224 yr It’s pretty evident they’re not going to make any changes in season….and I’m scared they re-up everyone.
October 5, 20223 yr Let's be real here: it doesn't matter who you have as your hitting coach if virtually your entire roster sucks at hitting. Not saying we can't find someone better than Thames, but the real problem is the fact that the Marlins have a roster full of guys who can't hit. Edited October 5, 20223 yr by Valid
