"NEWS: Earthquakes Goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski Selected to 2018 MLS Homegrown Game Roster" (SJEarthquakes.com - Thursday, 7/12/18) (SJEarthquakes.com) GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
Making us proud in Atlanta. 🙏@JT_Marcinkowski's ready for tomorrow's #MLSHomegrown game, pres. by @Energizer! 🔵🔴 pic.twitter.com/4DwmbZty5b— San Jose Earthquakes (@SJEarthquakes) July 31, 2018 GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
He is starting....in Reno. Why bring him to SJ now? To win a few more games to save Stahre’s job? Better to let him try and win a championship and then have him compete as a starter next year with a better coaching staff.
match is looking pretty disjointed, as one could probably imagine a bunch of kids who havent had much time to kick the ball around together would. not much from JT yet
I recall the 2016 edition of the Homegrown Game being rather dull. Mostly a chance to socialize. I crashed the MLS Works MVP confab in one of the corner suites. SeaJayBee was the Quakes' designee that year, but all the teams' nominees were there.
A clean sheet from our very own. 🔥#MLSHomegrown | #WeAreSanJose pic.twitter.com/jlQnvENIWL— San Jose Earthquakes (@SJEarthquakes) August 1, 2018 GO SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES!!! -G
Highlights.... 2 really nice saves by JT, one incredible save by his Tigres counterpart, and then a 2 goal swing on a screw up by JT's replacement https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2018...s-tigres-uanl-u-20-july-31-2018?autoplay=true
JT is one of the very few reasons to be hyped on for this team. Hes apparently the top goalkeeper in his age group in MLS. If hes starting in the league at 21 and holding down the fort, thats a statement , so hopefully that can happen soon
He played really well. Early in the season at Reno he made a lot of "rookie" decisions, but they've been going away. I think he's close to ready. I don't know for sure what would be better for his development for sure....continuing with his Reno teammates vs learning his Quakes teammates. But I think he should win the job to start next season for the Quakes.
Nah, 2019 is a better time than the present. Right now he's with a successful team, winning games and being a leader. No need to expose him to our losing ways and dysfunctional team dynamics. If our defense is crap and/or we're losing every game and/or there's more team drama, his confidence could be shot.
Yeah, hopefully, we have a new coaching staff next season, maybe JT brings the Reno coaching staff with him! Go Quakes!! Fire Stahre!! - Mark
Yeah, in Reno they use JT’s foot skills to pass out of the back. The Quakes simply don’t understand how to do that. JT in 19 is way better then right now

How appalling is it that the coaching staff of our minor league affiliate is more sophisticated and intelligent that any coaching staff we have had in San José since '05? I mean, it makes me feel like a rabbit in a leg-hold trap. Go Quakes!! Fire Stahre!! - Mark

I think Stahre has tried to play out of the back more, however, Tarbell is not that good with the ball at his feet, plus, you need two to tango. Our central midfielders show for the ball very poorly.
I think most of the problem is Tarbell on distribution. For example, there was a breakaway opportunity to Godoy in the last game. Tarbell recognized the opportunity which is great be threw it to Godoy's groin section, when it should have be to his feet or lead upfield a bit on the ground. By the time Godoy got the ball under control and pivoted, the chance was lost. This kind of trash happens way too often all over the field causing us to play way slower than needed.
Ouch! I guess that would in fact ruin the breakaway opportunity, if the poor guy is writhing on the ground in pain.
Honored to be a part of this club🙏🏻 https://t.co/v4Q9xJ7xJi— JT Marcinkowski (@JT_Marcinkowski) August 10, 2018
I'm not sure how much more they will stick with Tarbell. Either they are playing him to help him grow or if they are just wanting to groom J.T. Marcinkowski. Maybe they are not wanting to throw JT to the wolves and although he is still only 21, in a losing or lost season, I think its time to start him. I doubt he would be that much worse and you have to grow up sometime..... Start J.T. Marcinkowski!
