Dato Curioso

 


Something about playing against your former Team/Organization brings out the best out of many a Big Leaguer. The Marlins are no exception to this, they saw it a couple weeks ago when Adam Duvall scorched the Braves when returning to Atlanta for the first time in a Miami uniform. Now the Fish find themselves in Milwaukee after they're Series opening win 8-0 over the Brew-Crew last night. 

Jesus Aguilar is the most obvious former Brewer on the Marlins. His 2018 Season in Wisconsin earned Aguilar a trip to the All-Star Game/Home Run Derby and it helped propell Milwaukee to within a Game of the World Series. This marks the first time 'Agui' plays his former Team and it comes at quite the 🔥 moment 🔥 after Homering in 3 straight Games in San Francisco over the Weekend. 

He's not alone, Lewis Brinson was the Brewers #1 Prospect when he was Traded to the Marlins in 2018. His first Game against the Team that he broke into the Big-Leagues with in 2017 featured a 2 Home Run perfromance at Miller Park from Brinson. 'Sweet Lew' ended up hitting 3 Dingers during that return Series in '18. 

There is 1 Player however that kind of gets forgotten when mentioning former Brewers Prospects. Garrett Cooper was a 6th Round Draft Pick by Milwaukee in 2013 before being dealt to the Yankees for Tyler Webb in July of '17. All 'Coop' has done in the 11 Games he's played against the Organization that Drafted him is hit .349/.404/.581, with 3 Bombs (Including last night), and 7 RBI's. With the Injurg bug biting the Marlins Offense of late, it's looking like it's a good time for a return to AFF for these former Cerveceros 🍺.

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.
