Let's Go Fish!



This Franchise has been hear before, needing to win 3 straight elimination Games in an October Series of '03. This Team, this year, has seemingly had their backs against the wall from the get go. Why should this moment, right now, be any different?! The Braves have taken the first 2 Games in their best of 5 Series against our Fish. The Marlins will have to win 3 in a row in order to take down Atlanta, but it starts today, now. 23 year old Josh Beckett stepped up 17 years ago in a very similar situation against the Cubs, tossing a Complete Game Shutout, after Chicago took a 3 Games to 1 lead. Can 22 year old Sixto Sanchez come up similarly big for the Fish today, against a very tough Braves Lineup? Here's a little known fact, Atlanta is out of Starting Pitching. There's a new twist to the Division Series in 2020, each Game of the Series will be played continuously. No off-days in between Games 2 & 4. We knew coming in Atlanta had Max Fried & Ian Anderson at the top of their Rotation, but today they go with Kyle Wright. Wright, who was 2-4 with a 5.21 ERA in 2020, can thank the Marlins for that loosing record & high ERA. He was 0-2 against the Marlins, with a 10.28 ERA durring the 2020 Campaign.







 There's no love-lost between these 2 Teams. It wouldn't hurt the Marlins to feed off that today. Team Captain Miguel Rojas tried to bring some of that energy yesterday in the 5th. Manager Don Mattingly 🙈, I've seen corpses with more energy in a Dugout. Hopefully the Skipper goes with Starting Catcher Jorge Alfaro for the first time this Postseason behind the dish. I'm also calling out Corey Dickerson & Matt Joyce, who had subpar Regular Seasons, and our a combined 3 for 25 in the Postseason. Let's Go gentlemen! Easy 🤔, we've covered this here at Son Los Marlins, and the Fish lost an anchor to their Lineup in Starling Marte during the Cubs' Series. A Magnueris Sierra has stepped up with that "next man up mentality". That's what it will take. Next Game up, next Inning, next Pitch. You can't win 3 Games today, but you can take it to the Braves right now. That should be the focus, that will get you to tomorrow, to Saturday, to Arlington. Let's Go Fish!

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 ...

  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.
