Marlins fire Barroid Bonds

[joeybee12]

No link, on my phone. Apparently the reason is he was quite nasty with the players

1. Oh joy. Now he's gonna start sniffing around his old team again.

And I don't mean Pittsburgh.

The sad thing is, we could probably use a hitting coach. Look how anemic those allegedly powerful bats were from shortly before the break until just last week.

2. Bonds was a Giants' visiting Spring Training hitting instructor in 2014 ...

along with JT Snow and Mays. Was a huge help to Sandoval.

3. Loria loved him, Mattingly did not

Mattingly wants to go in a different direction. You know like hitting the ball and all

The Marlins were 27th in the league in runs.

It didn't help that Stanton was out most of the year, but still.

4. According to sources, Bonds' work ethic was lacking

Lack of prep ... wouldn't do the homework ...

According to the New York Post, Marlins Manager Don Mattingly would have quit if Bonds was retained.

5. You know, these Barroid threads just don't work anymore now that trumad and

cboy4/upton are now gone.

[El Supremo]

6. I hope trumad is hunkering in place.

They even closed Disney World.

7. Same here. Be safe, trumad.
