Small Ball ⚾ Leads 2 Big Things

HBD Juan Pierre 

One of the most complete Games played by the Marlins in a long time. That style of play, of Pitching (as Pablo Lopez gave em 6 Strong & the Pen was solid). Defense (with a very clutch play by Brian Anderson and 2 spectacular plays by Matt Joyce of all Outfielders 👏). Speed (having Eddy Alvarez, Jon Berti, Magnueris Sierra, and Jonathan Villar bunched in the Lineup gives the Club quite a different look 🖒). That style of Play is hard to beat, just ask those Atlanta Braves 🙂. May I even say, was the recipe for a 2003 Championship. 



Marlin Notes 

Son Los Marlins came to find out Bullpen Coach Wellington Castillo, Bullpen Catcher Koji Tanaka, and Catching Coach Eddy Rodriguez were 3 "Staff" Members on the Club who had tested positive for Covid-19. Not surprising seeing as of the 18 Players who had tested positive, 12 were Pitchers (Adam Conley, Jeff Brigham, Caleb Smith, Yimi Garcia, Robert Dugger, Ryne Stanek, Sandy Alcantara, Jose Urena, Jordan Halloway, Alex Vesia, Aaron Northcraft, and Nick Neidart). Along with Catchers Jorge Alfaro, Chad Wallach, and Sean Rodriguez (Eddy's brother). There is very good news on this front, as today The Marlins said the majority of these men had tested Negative twice, and were approved for reinstatement by Major League Baseball.

Distrust, can you blame us

  From the Luis Arraez Trade on May 03rd, having Tim Anderson become the only Free Agent signing during an entire Off-Season, igniting the Franchise into yet another Fire Sale. There's a reason, or 2, or 3 Marlins President Peter Bendix has earned much distrust within the Fish fanbase. Not even mentioning the man/circumstances whom brought the P.O.B.O to Miami was Owner Bruce Sherman and his handling of former Marlins G.M Kim Ng. So when Bendix strikes a move during the Winter Meetings, dealing Marlins Home Run Leader Jake Burger to Texas for 3 Prospects, it's no surprise fans show so much displeasure. Especially when you come to find out the move wasn't even money related for the low revenue Marlins, as Burger will not be Arbitration Eligible until 2026, meaning his '25 Salary will be closer to the Major League minimum. So why deal Burger if you're Bendix & the Fish? You've heard a lot about the move potentially clearing up space at positions like 1B/DH for...

Fight Week

  The Rematch for the Heavyweight Title in the sport of Boxing is set for Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Usyk defends his crown against the best big-man in Boxing of this generation, Tyson Fury. After such a closely contested Fight this past May, which saw Usyk narrow out a Split-Decision, there's high anticipation for Saturday in the desert. Less than 7 months ago we witnessed the first 'Undisputed' Heavyweight Championship Boxing Match since 1999, which saw Usyk nearly stop Fury in Rd. 9, after a flurry of combinations to the kisser had the 6'9 Englishman on queer street. The change in tide during the Bout however, came when it seemed Fury was in complete control during the middle Rounds, following massive uppercuts (including to the body) which seemed to really hurt the former Light Heavyweight Champ. Fury also recovered brilliantly in similar fashion which has made him a legend in the Sport during many a Contest, howbeit ...

Twelve left on el 16

  As the Marlins completed their penultimate Road Trip of 2024, going 1-6 against two mediocre Teams of the National League in Pittsburgh & Washington, they'll now return Home to face the Club with the 2nd best record in all of Baseball in the L.A Dodgers starting tomorrow night. The Fish now stand at 55-95, a whopping 40 Games Under .500 with 12 Games remaining. The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp still have a week to go on their 2024 Calendar, the last Marlins Minor League Affiliate with Game action remaining. Lefthander Dale Stanavich will get a Promotion for this final week from Double-A Pensacola, who played their final Contest of 2024 yesterday. Stanavich put up some solid numbers out of the Blue Wahoos Bullpen and was a part of the 2023 Jupiter Hammerheads Title run last year. Speaking of the '23 Hammerheads, fellow Lefty in that Jupiter Bullpen Evan Taylor himself had a solid campaign. Racking up 52 Strikeouts in 44.1 Innings for High-A Beloit, to the tune of 2.84 ERA.
