Marlins Offense Continues to Scuffle As They Fall to Mets 2-1

[emkayseven]

I've always felt subpar players make better coaches because they typically have to work much harder to excel at the game than those who are just naturally gifted and talented and blessed with tools

But Eduardo Perez fucking sucks

[Madman81]

There's no joke there. I'm happy for those coaches. He's not one of them.

Working for ESPN was a warning sign.

I'm not a guy who thinks that coaches have THAT much impact, but:

Marlins OPSes under John Mallee

June 2010: .777
July 2010: .663
August 2010: .735
Sept/Oct 2010: .720
April 2011: .715
May 2011: .705

1 of 6 months under .700

Marlins OPSes under Eduardo Perez
June 2011: .624 (!)
July 2011: .777
August 2011: .697
September 2011?: .721
April 2012: .690

3 of 5 months under .700

Mallee got fired much quicker for much less

Shouldn't who was in the lineup during those months also be taken into consideration.

Of course, which is why I'm not hitting the panic button yet.


Unrelated, but we're 1-5 against the NLE.

I was thinking that myself. Generally speaking, if you're working for ESPN, it's because you're not good enough to work in the sport.

[emkayseven]

Sure. Mallee's April and May included Hanley's OPSes of .558 and .666, Perez's June and July included his OPSes of .707 and .896.

Mallee's April and May had Infante's OPSes of .589 and .595, Perez got his .673, .711, 1.022, and .733.

What else should we consider?

[Mainge]

He fixed Hanley

[MiamiHomer]

I'm not sure that's helping your case there.

[emkayseven]

And ruined everyone else's?
--------------------
I mean, Hanley's OPS increased that much and our team OPS went down that much...what does that tell you about how the rest of the team is doing?

[Beef]

They are doing poorly

I don't think he's doing well but we don't know what's going on. He can't hit for them.

I guess I'm just curious how there was cause for canning Mallee so quickly (who had worked for the organization for 9 years) but not for Perez (who never coached but happens to be the son of the team's adviser)

Guys like Matt Dominguez, Jose Lopez, Mike Cameron and Greg Dobbs were getting everyday AB's the 2nd half of last year.

Well we had lost like 19 of 21 games. That's why.
