'It's Tanner'

  Tanner Scott ha sido el mejor Relevista de los Marlins en 2023, y punto.  En los últimos 4 meces (29 de Abril en adelante), los numeros de Scott son los siguientes:  49 Juegos/50 Innings con solamente 38 Hits permitidos, un increíble 73 Bateadores Ponchados a solamente 17 Bases por Bolas, Promedio de 1.80, marcador de 5-3, y lo más importante para un Relevista hacía el final de Encuentros;  En los 29 Juegos en 2023 que los Marlins le han dado la pelota a Scott arriba en el marcador por 3 Carreras o menos (la gran mayoría de veces la ventaja siempre es menos de 3 carreras), el Lanzador Zurdo de los Marlins le a regresado la pelota al Mánager Skip Schumaker 27 veces con la Ventaja intacta. Incluyendo 3 de ésas ocasiones en la Novena Entrada, donde Tanner Scott se mirará el resto del año. ..A comparación, David Roberston, quién fue adquirido por los Marlins de los Mets de Nueva York para ser el Cerrador, se le han ido más juegos (3) en menos de un mes con el Equipo, que Tanner Scott tod

  Thirty six Games remain on the Calendar for the Marlins as far as the 2023 Regular Season is concerned, and the Fish find themselves right in the thick of the N.L Wild Card Race. It's been quite a rollercoaster ride for the Marlins since the 1st half highs that found em 14 Games Over .500 by the All-Star Break for only the 2nd time (1997) in Franchise History. They then went on to lose 8 straight following the A.S.G, which contribited to dropping 17 of their first 22 Second Half Contests.  Since the really rough start to the 2nd Half, the Marlins have played .500 ball at 6-6, taking Series' in Cincinnati & from the New York Yankees, but then dropped a Series apiece to the Houston Astros & Dodgers in L.A, as well as the Opener last night in San Diego. You have that sense that the Fish are gonna need a decent stretch above .500 in order to secure 1 of the 3 N.L Wild Card spots. The Marlins are now gonna have to leap frog Teams like Arizona again in the Wild Card Standin

A week into August and the Marlins have chosen a bit of a inopportune time to play their worst Baseball of the Season. 5-16 are those Marlins in the 2nd Half, they've also dropped 13 of their last 14 Road Games since the very end of June. I say only 'a bit' because the Team just ahead of them in the Standings, the Cincinnati Reds, as well as a Club that was but no longer is in front of the Fish, the Arizona Diamondbacks, are in quite the slumps themselves.  It reminds you a bit of 2003, when the Marlins dropped 9 of 10 on the Road in August, but virtually lost no ground as Teams in the Wild Card chase at the time (mostly the Phillies) also lost their fair share and then some during that same time period. Obviously for the Marlins to capture some '03 magic again they're gonna have to awaken from this dreadful August start. No better time than when facing that Club directly ahead of you in the Wild Card Standings. The Fish open up a 3 Game Set against the Reds in Cinc
