Rodriguez to Keep Swimming with the Fishes

The Marlins decided to keep Edwin Rodriguez as their manager for the rest of the season.

Loria said he told Rodriguez just before the game of his decision.

“At the end of the year we’ll re-evaluate things,” Loria said in the press box during the game. “What will always be my first and foremost concern are the players. I thought the continuity … was the most important thing we could do. Edwin’s going to be their manager. The coaches will continue that are in place. Continuity’s important.”

Sorry, I thought this was about winning. If they wanted continuity, they could have kept Gonzalez. This team has a good general manager. It’s too bad the owners can’t get a story straight. Maybe they should just let Beinfest talk to the press.

Update: Scott Miller rips Loria.
