I think you mean Corch, son. I am fine..........As I have said many times, I am OK with Marisnick being traded. We need to free up what money we can and then not waste it. I just see no need in taking a dump on a class act like Jake as he leaves. Nobody could have handled that situation with the Angels better than Jake. Lucroy caused the problem......Jake got suspended........Jake got hit over it. Our pitcher should have decked the Angels hottest hitter on his next at bat in retaliation. In the old days when pitchers still had a pair of balls the hitting of Jake would not have gone with0ut retaliation being taken. |

Never was a Marsinick fan, but i think some of the abuse he got here was unnecessary. I thought he was great in his role as a late inning defensive replacement, or as a replacement when another starter was injured. Coach, some of the shit he got was just to get your BP up. I hate to see him go, as far as what his role here was. |

I hate to see him go, as far as what his role here was. The problem was his role was often expanded to a starter when his bat did not warrant it. That’s why he was often criticized. Also, the team liked to fluff up his value to the team, and that value was just not there. Even Steve Sparks, an employee of the Astros, said on the radio that Marisnick can’t catch up to a fastball. The bottom line was he was given five years to prove himself as a hitter and didn’t. Time to move on. |

Marsinick only had 73 starts, ,and 40 of those were when Springer injured, plus also close to 10 for others when it was warranted. Under those circumstancs, I don't think the intent was that his role was meant to be expanded to be a normal starter. Not really his fault he was promoted to that situation. |

Everytime he stood there with his bat on his shoulder watching strike 3 with the bases loaded or men on 2nd and 3rd (or worse, dribbled the ball to an infielder), he earned every f***ing bit of the abuse he got. The 5 or 6 circus catches he made during the whole season weren't enough to make up for swinging the bat like Catfish does. |

And you continually showed your bias and ignorance where Marisinick was concerned by referring to him as the worst player in baseball........We had White and Stassi on our roster some of the time when you said that. I would have sent Jake up to pinch hit for either of those useless pieces of shit. It doesn't look good to refer to one of the premier defensive outfielders in the game as the worst player in baseball. He was clearly the best defensive outfielder we had. Undboubtedly, Beltran llikes him or the Mets would not have traded for him. I will see what happens once he has new hitting coaches and been under Beltran's guidance. Those here who want to take pot shots and shit on him as he leaves show a total lack of class and lack of appreciation for the good things he did.........Check and see how many runs he saved.....some in playoff games. |

"A late game defensive replacement". For that role, his offense was typical. |

Marisnick's offense production, or lack thereof, was a team burden for a gigantic percentage of his time here. |

We can beat this horse to death, but with the realities of budgets, caps, and fractional billion dollar payrolls, you can not put an AS in every position, especially when it comes to adding subs. Geez... The man made $2.1M last year, and the torches and pitchforks were out in this freakin' forum. Sadly, just because he didn't hit as well as our vaunted starters. Jake's ceiling has always been a late inning defensive add. Asking for anything more is sheer madness. With him gone as a whipping boy, you guys have got to find a new player to meet that role. |

Reminds me of a story about Ted Williams, the man who, for my money, was the best hitter of all time. Late in his life he was at an all-star game and a reporter asked him, "Mr. Williams, if you were playing today how well do you think you'd hit against modern pitching?" Ted replied, "Probably .240-.245" The reporter was shocked. "You think today's pitchers are that much better than they used to be?" Ted looked at him like he was crazy. "No, son. I'm 75 years old." |

What whipping boys have you had in the past? Ones when they were at the plate or on the mound, and you felt hopeless before the first pitch? I am sure for many here, for the last 4 seasons, Marisnick was their answer. If he was batting, especially when it mattered, you felt all was lost. |

I wouldn't say it was mostly the hitting coach's fault,but, if he goes to NY under Beltran and a different hitting coach and his numbers drastically improve, you can draw the conclusion that the hitting coaches in Houston were incompetent when it came to finding and correcting his flaws at the plate. If he went to NY, hit .300 with 25 home runs and over 80 runs batted in, you would still say ne is the worst player in baseball., You proved time and again that you put no value on superior defense, which was what Marisnick was being paid to do. As I said, your bias and ignorance where he was concerned was obvious for all to see. I stand by the statement that if Jake's hitting drastically improves in NY it is a reflection on the incompetence of the Astros hitting coaches,...Another former Astro, JD Davis, did nothing for us but put up 22 home runs for the Mets in 2019. I have thought for a few years ow that our hitting coaches were second rate and I'm still waiting to be shown I was wrong. |

If he was batting, especially when it mattered, you felt all was lost. I have had a few. Giles- Idiotic behavior coupled with wasting his talent Omar Moreno- Bad mouths team and city after we start booing for playing lazily Evan Gattis- For his once in a lifetime grounding into a triple play, and other boneheaded stuff. Denny LeMaster- Incredible talent for giving up leads with the pitch selection of a little leaguer. 10 - 20% of the 2011- 2013 Team. AAA players who played like AA. |
