The Miami Marlins shocked the baseball world on Monday when they announced that their new manager would be GM Dan Jennings.

Jennings never played professional baseball and has only coached at the high school level.

USA TODAY Sports’ Bob Nightengale spoke with Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria about the hire, and the quotes that Loria gave might be even funnier and more amazing than the hire itself.

“You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see the team wasn’t performing,” Loria said. “Everybody in baseball can see it. A lot of players lost accountability, and structure was lacking.

“We’re supposed to be the Fish. The Marlins. We shouldn’t be the Flounders.

“A Marlin isn’t a flounder. We’ve got to get it going.”

You hear that, world? A Marlin isn’t a flounder.

Head on over to Nightengale’s story to get all the wonderful quotes.
