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 🔥.

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.
