Early

 

Big early Win for the Fish on Saturday, their first of the 2021 Season. Tampa Bay, fresh off a World Series appearance came as advertised, while the Marlins & Rays went toe to toe, especially on the Pitching side of things. Days-off seem to come in inopportune times for the Marlins, who had 3 days off between their final Exhibition Game and Opening Day, while not playing on Sunday after puting up 12 Runs on the Rays in the finale of their Opening Series. Speaking of Offense, our Fish welcome a loaded Cardinals' Offense to Miami tonight to kick off a 3 Game Set. A nice early test.


The Atlanta Braves lost the 2021 All-Star Game this weekend. There were rumors circulating that the All-Star Game and all the festivities that surround it could be brought back to Florida. It would bring an obviously huge economic bump back to the Marlins. It also would be a safe decision for MLB, as the State of Florida has been one of the most lenient States throughout the Pandemic. There would be no fear of the Stae shutting down, as there could be full capacity at the Stadium if the Game was held today. Something to monitor.

The Fish announced the initial 25 Players they will carry at their Alternate Site, which is in the City of Jacksonville for 2021. Jupiter, which was the destination of that Alternate Site last year, will hold Minor League Spring Training this month, in anticipation of the Minor League Season beginning next month. The 25 Players above are eligible to be Called-Up by the Marlins in the month of April and could also be carried on Taxi Squads throughout early Road-Trips. Our Fish will dip into Jacksonville for reinforcements, key word, ealry.

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.
