Loria on Redmond: "He's the manager. Period."

[Namaste]

If the Marlins were 10-3 I would not be praising Redmond.

So holding him responsible for 3-10 is dumb.

I mean, there are at least a half dozen people on this board that could manage the Marlins more effectively than Redmond but his potential replacement will likely be as big of a boob anyway.

And instant replay would kind of kill the fun of having Wally Backman as manager anyway.

Payroll limitations are the real culprit.

Bad decisions + payroll limitations

how much better would this team look right now with James Shields and Carlos Rodon as rotation options over Tom Koehler and David Phelps?

[Madman81]

i thought we were outbid for shields

[Bobbob1313]

Right, that's the payroll limitations part of it.

Have to love an organizational philosophy of whatever has been done didn't work so go do the opposite of it. Hot head manager replaced by laid back manager replaced by hot head manager.

Also, did anyone expect the Marlins to start hot? Shouldn't it be a tread water until Jose gets back and hope to make a run season?

We're drowning.

They needed to be .500 until Jose got healthy to really have a chance at the playoffs.

oh, i guess i didn't write what i meant. i meant to ask about us having the highest offer and him choosing to go somewhere else. wasn't that the case? what else can you do?

[Bobbob1313]

They offered 3/60, the Padres offered 4/75.

Pretty clear they didn't want Shields on the roster when Stanton's contract actually pays him market value.

We actually had a 4 yr offer for around 75 but was a mutual option(to which we probably would have denied unless Shields was great) so his people went to SD(which is where he wanted to be) and said match the offer and he is yours

so they gave him a much better contract rather than matching it?

right.

The way Loria treats managers is insane.
