One of the most impressive victories in not only recent Marlins memory, but in their 28 Season History. That's what took place Sunday, July 26th, 2020. 

Yes, it sealed a series win in Philadelphia to kick off the Season. Yes, they erased a 4-nothing deficit to do it.. But that doesn't even begin to tell todays Fish-Tale... 



In what is turning out to be 1 crazy pandemic Season in Major League Baseball, and in Sports in general, Miami gave way to news 90 minutes prior to Game-Time, that they're Game-Day Starting Pitcher had tested positive for Covid-19, and he wasn't alone. 2 starting position players had also tested positive for the virus prior to the Game, hitting the Fish with massive both physical, and mental blows. 



It was now 4 players in 3 days that had gone down with the illness, following their starting Catcher, who had come down with Coronavirus heading into Opening Day. The circumstances, the mental state of each ballplayer with everything going on Covid related, seeing their Teammates (though not showing symptoms) getting hit with the virus, each & every possible doubt creeping in, and it was all someway, somehow overcome by the Marlins. 



This truly unreal gritty performance, led by their captain Miguel Rojas, sealed an improbable, and most certainly impressive victory. I don't know what will happen this 2020 Baseball Season, that may or may not finish, but I can most certainly say that today, I am very proud to be a Marlin ⚾. #GoFish ⚾⚾

It's a shame.

  If the old baseball song 'Take me out the Ballgame' ever rung more veracious today for the Marlins, it'd have to be the part where it goes "If they don't win it's a Shame". Because I don't think there's a better word to describe the Fish right now, than shame. Shame that the Marlins stand here today with a record of 6-23, after just making the Playoffs last Season. Shame, that they blew a 7 to Nothing Lead to the Washington Nationals yesterday afternoon. Shame that the Marlins have yet to win a single Series in 2024. And what's probably the most shameful part into what's become the worst start of a Season in Marlins History, is what the Organization has done and probably will do in the near future to mitigate such a disaster. Nothing. Not diddly sh*t. You see, I've seen this movie before under this same Ownership Group in Florida. The Marlins made the Playoffs for the first time in 17 years during the pandemic Season of 2020, and just

Can only get better from here?

  No way around it. The Marlins have started the Season as bad as it gets in the Win/Loss column. A straight O for 5 to commence 2024. Frustration was palpable inside the Marlins Dugout last night. A 4 Game Sweep at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates was followed by a 7-4 Loss to the Angels to commence a new Series and the month of April, all at Home. The Marlins lost a 3 Run Lead on Opening Day, a 5 Run Advantage on Sunday, and a 4-0 start to yesterday's Game. The Shutdown Inning from their Starters has been nonapparent each time the Fish have scored first, from Jesus Luzardo on Opening Day, to Trevor Rogers & Max Meyer having both been given big leads in the First Inning. Not to mention short Starts from A.J Puk & David Weathers.  The Marlins Offense is the one that does seem to shutdown after some early hot starts. The Fish bats went 0-14 over the final 6 Innings on Opening Day in route to their 12 Inning Defeat against the Bucs. Yesterday, the Club did not put up a sin

Bull🐂Pen, sorry PETA 😉

  As much Roster turnover as say, the Marlins Lineup has had over the last few months, with the additions of Avisail Garcia, Jorge Soler, Jacob Stallings, and Joey Wendle. Not to mention the additions by subtractions of Lewis Brinson, Jorge Alfaro, and Isan Diaz. The Marlins Bullpen has pretty much stayed the same since the end of last year, and that may not necessarily be all that of a bad thing. With the volatile nature that is Relieving from 1 Season to the next at times in Major League Baseball, the Marlins decided to allocate more of their Payroll recourses in upgrading the Offense this Off-Season, true. But don't discredit the fact that the Club retained a couple of their most reliable Veteran Relievers either. Groundball machine Richard Bleier and the Marlins came to terms yesterday on a 2 Year Contract extension that'll cover the Ballclub's most reliable Lefty's final year of Arbitration, as well 1 Free-Agent year. Total of the Deal was $6 Million Dollars and in
