08:23 AM ET 06.12 | Florida's firing of hitting coach John Mallee -- much to the players' dismay ??? reinforced a point Atlanta's Chipper Jones made Thursday about the Marlins. "Our owners let the coaches coach and let the players play," he said. "It's unfortunate over there that decisions get made and executed during the season. It's distracting to players to have to deal with a managerial or hitting coach change during a season. Younger players need stability." Jones said he wondered over the years why the Marlins have so much turnover. But the reason is no secret: Owner Jeffrey Loria gets impatient.

That's because Loria is a pork chop. And his wife likes to cook pork chops.

This reporter should have turned to the stall next to chipper- and talked to uggla. Oh wait- uggla knows nothing about hitting right now.

If I was a conspiracy theorist I'd say the braves were meddling with the fish to get uggla a personal hitting coach- only player doing worse then Dunn
