Los Juegos de Exhibición del Spring Training 2023 para los Marlins llegaron y se nos fueron en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Miami será el destino para el Opening Day de Grandes Ligas éste Jueves. El Viernes se anunció lo que todo el mundo ya sabía, que Sandy Alcántara abrirá en la Lomita para los Peces por 4ta vez consecutiva (algo que nunca se a hecho en la historia de la Franquicia). Es más, la compañía en cual ya se encontraba Sandy (desde 2020), es una muy exclusiva en la Historia de los Marlins.





Alcántara le Ganó a los Phillies en Filadelfia para comenzar el 2020 (La Temporada corta gracias al Covid-19). Fue la última vez que los Marlins Ganaron un Opening Day, y la primera vez que lograron Victoria para comenzar una Temporada desde 2014, cuando Joseito Fernández Lanzó y le Ganó a Colorado en La Pequeña Habana.






Charlie Hough 🇺🇸 ('93), Kevin Brown 🇺🇸 ('97), Livan Hernández 🇨🇺 ('98), Alex Fernández 🇨🇺 ('99/'00), Josh Beckett 🇺🇸 ('04/'05), Dontrelle Willis 🇺🇸 ('07), Ricky Nolasco 🇲🇽 ('09), Josh Johnson 🇺🇸 ('11), Joseito 🇨🇺 ('14) y Sandy 🇩🇴 ('20) son los únicos Marlins en Ganar un Opening Day. Una lista de nombres muy especiales en la Historia de los Marlins obviamente.





La palabra "especial" y Alcántara van mano a mano sin duda, y es que Sandy será el primer Ganador del Premio Cy Young en Lanzar para los Marlins éste Jueves, después de su gran Campaña 2022. También buscará ser solo el tercer Marlin (después de A. Fernández y Beckett) en Ganar 2 Opening Days, cuando se enfrente a los Mets para comenzar la Temporada. Una Temporada de cual se ve más que listo Alcántara, quién poncho los primeros 8 Bateadores en su última Apertura de Primavera el Viernes contra Houston 🔥.

After a long Spring Training which featured more than it's fair share of Injuries to the Rotation, conjoining with complete resurgences of health for Pitchers comparable to Sixto Sanchez of all Marlins. A Spring that included some (for lack of better words, or maybe just to be nice) odd/senseless comments at times from Jazz 👽 Chisholm during a podcast sit-down interview with The Pivot , in addition to a 3 Home Run stretch in 3 consecutive At Bats over the 2 Games for the Fish Center Fielder before the conversation was shared. A Camp which included lots of Hits from (no surprise) Luis Arraez, plenty of Strikeouts from A.J Puk & David Weathers, and welcoming additions headlined by Tim Anderson & Nick Gordon injected into the Marlins Lineup. Opening Day is today in Miami. The Marlins, through it all in Jupiter, truly seem as ready as they can be all things considered to face the Pirates to start the Season, and here's one of the reasons why.   The Fish knew they'd the

Can only get better from here.

  No way around it. The Marlins have started the Season pretty much 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

Bull🐂Pen, sorry PETA 😉

  As much Roster turnover as say, the Marlins Lineup has had over the last few months, with the additions of Avisail Garcia, Jorge Soler, Jacob Stallings, and Joey Wendle. Not to mention the additions by subtractions of Lewis Brinson, Jorge Alfaro, and Isan Diaz. The Marlins Bullpen has pretty much stayed the same since the end of last year, and that may not necessarily be all that of a bad thing. With the volatile nature that is Relieving from 1 Season to the next at times in Major League Baseball, the Marlins decided to allocate more of their Payroll recourses in upgrading the Offense this Off-Season, true. But don't discredit the fact that the Club retained a couple of their most reliable Veteran Relievers either. Groundball machine Richard Bleier and the Marlins came to terms yesterday on a 2 Year Contract extension that'll cover the Ballclub's most reliable Lefty's final year of Arbitration, as well 1 Free-Agent year. Total of the Deal was $6 Million Dollars and in
