Update: Martinez Resigns Over Abusive Behavior

[Erick]

I hope Loria's kids and grandkids end up in a situation where their abusive boss ends up not being fired. What a piece of shit.

Isn't this a bit unfair?

[lou]

Got to hand it to Loria for finding new ways at being a complete embarrassment

[Mainge]

Martinez in spring training berated minor league infielder Matt Downs for working with then minor league hitting coordinator Greg Norton. Martinez took offense that Downs would take instruction from an unaccomplished big league hitter like Norton, who recently left the organization to become the hitting coach at Auburn.

eheah

[Chewford]

Oh wow.

My favorite part of this is that Loria thought it was okay for Martinez to verbally abuse his players, but he fired Girardi(sp?) for that thing.

[Mainge]

I thought he fired Girardi for telling him to shut the fuck up?

[Bobbob1313]

Mmhmm

[Ralph]

Reading b/w the lines seems like the press got a hold of this story because of Redmond after he went to the FO and they didn't fire Tino. Sooo wouldn't surprise me if Redmond is fired this offseason for not being a yesman to Loria and company.

[lou]

I hope they fire Redmond so they have to pay 3 managers next year

So can we bring Mallee back?
--------------------
John Pierson named interim hitting coach.

[HUGG]

So, this all started because of Dietrich and Loria didn't want Martinez to go...

I feel bad for Daft's kid. Has that new Dietrich jersey and dude's gonna get traded.

[Miamarlin21]

So can we start a Wes Helms for hitting coach campaign?

[Todd]

Loria probably didnt want him to go until he could find a way not to compensate him.
--------------------

So can we start a Wes Helms for hitting coach campaign?

At least the Marlins would have a team full of professional hitters.
