Future turning into Present

 

Sixto Sanchez, the real-deal.

I couldn’t help but note a resemblance when Marlins Top Prospect Sixto Sanchez made his MLB Debut this Weekend in Washington. You heard all weekend of past Top-Prospect Pitching Debuts in Marlins History, from Jose Fernandez, to Josh Beckett. I didn’t go that far back. My first thought was of current Marlins All-Star Sandy Alcantara when I saw Sixto. That feeling of “this guy has Ace written all over him”. The funny thing is, Sixto is always mentioned in talks of what “will be” the future Marlins Rotation. Headed by Sanchez, followed by Prospects Edward Cabrera, Braxton Garrett, and Trevor Rogers. But what about the present, and the potential, oh the potential. 



The very same Sandy Alcantara could join this Marlins Rotation as early as tomorrow, after his battle with Covid-19. A Rotation that was ravished by the illness and has since seen Pablo Lopez pitch like an Ace. A Rotation that has seen Eliesar Hernandez take a huge step forward, as we mentioned in a previous Son Los Marlins. A Rotation that will soon see Caleb Smith & Jose Urena return from their own battles with Coronavirus. Everyone talks how bright the Future Marlins Rotation will look when they talk Sixto Sanchez, but what about the Present. The Present, could look even brighter.

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

Destruction

  With the Marlins in absolute full self destruction mode thanks to the guidance of Owner Bruce Sherman, President of Baseball Operations Peter Bendix, Manager Skip Schumaker and plenty of Players who can't bat their weight & a lot of Pitchers with ERA's over 6. Let's instead turn our attention to the squared circle, where Fighters are allowed to take out some frustrations on one another. There's that old saying inside the sweet science that Boxing's only as healthy as the Heavyweight Division at times, and while that may not be completely true, especially at the moment with so much action here of late throughout the sport, the Heavyweights due take center stage come Friday when the WBC and Lineal World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury battles Unified Champion in 2 separate weight classes Oleksandr Usyk. Sportsbooks have this fight of the unbeatens as even as can be. The Bout marks the 3rd Title defense for the Ukrainian Usyk, after originally dethroning Anthony

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
