Destruction

  With the Marlins in absolute full self destruction mode thanks to the guidance of Owner Bruce Sherman, President of Baseball Operations Peter Bendix, Manager Skip Schumaker and plenty of Players who can't bat their weight & a lot of Pitchers with ERA's over 6. Let's instead turn our attention to the squared circle, where Fighters are allowed to take out some frustrations on one another. There's that old saying inside the sweet science that Boxing's only as healthy as the Heavyweight Division at times, and while that may not be completely true, especially at the moment with so much action here of late throughout the sport, the Heavyweights due take center stage come Saturday when the WBC and Lineal World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury battles Unified Champion in 2 separate weight classes Oleksandr Usyk. Sportsbooks have this fight of the unbeatens as even as can be. The Bout marks the 3rd Title defense for the Ukrainian Usyk, after originally dethroning Anthon

It's a shame.

  If the old baseball song 'Take me out the Ballgame' ever rung more veracious today for the Marlins, it'd have to be the part where it goes "If they don't win it's a Shame". Because I don't think there's a better word to describe the Fish right now, than shame. Shame that the Marlins stand here today with a record of 6-23, after just making the Playoffs last Season. Shame, that they blew a 7 to Nothing Lead to the Washington Nationals yesterday afternoon. Shame that the Marlins have yet to win a single Series in 2024. And what's probably the most shameful part into what's become the worst start of a Season in Marlins History, is what the Organization has done and probably will do in the near future to mitigate such a disaster. Nothing. Not diddly sh*t. You see, I've seen this movie before under this same Ownership Group in Florida. The Marlins made the Playoffs for the first time in 17 years during the pandemic Season of 2020, and just

Can only get better from here?

  No way around it. The Marlins have started the Season 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 put up a sin

Testing Depth

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

  March madness 💧💧! 2 Spring Training Games got wiped out yesterday over a little rain some 20 minutes down the road from each other. Marlins Games against the Cardinals & Nationals in Jupiter and West Palm Beach were both Cancelled. The Fish will be back in Grapefruit League action tonight in the first Game under the Jupiter lights this Spring against the Yankees. Son Los Marlins will be in the house!   College Baseball also had a few weather interruptions this weekend around the Country. Georgia had a Game which they were leading at the time 9-3 over Georgia Tech, called in the 5th Inning due to the skies opening up in the Peach State on Friday. Whatever happens with that Friday Contest doesn't delude the Bulldogs' (who went on to take the next 2 over the Yellow Jackets) start to the Season.  The SEC's Georgia, much like Kentucky, the ACC's Duke & North Carolina, along with the Big 12's TCU, have really impressed in the early going of the College Basebal

La UFC hizo su regreso a CDMX éste pasado fin de semana por primera vez desde el 2019. Desafortunadamente no fue la noche para 2 peleadores nacidos en México durante las peleas estelar y co-estelar. El ex Campeón de peso mosca Brandon Moreno, intentó su pelea hacía fuera contra el más largo Brandon Royval (quién fue el pasado contrincante al título).Y aunque los golpes de Moreno parecían hacer más daño durante la pelea, no fue suficiente en cuestión de puntos.  Mientras que Yair 'La Pantera' Rodriguez, quién peleó en la Capital Mexicana la última vez que pasó la UFC por México, no se pudo haber lucido más durante el Primer Round en su pelea de revancha contra Brian 'T-City' Ortega el Sábado pasado. Ortega, quién es de sangre Mexicana, no se encontraba arriba del Octágono desde su derrota contra Rodríguez en Julio de 2022 debido a múltiples lesiones, y aún así se levantó de 2 caidas en ése Primer Round para después ganar la Pelea por sumisión en el Round número 3. ...

  Marlins Full Squad has reported and gotten in their first Official Workout of 2024 Spring Training. Major League Exhibition Games kickoff this weekend in both Florida and Arizona. Opening Day is at the end of next month. Baseball season is here!   Furthermore on that baseball front, College Baseball kicked off this past Friday. There've been a few upsets in the NCAA world. Just last night #1 Ranked Wake Forest went down to the University of North Carolina GREENSBORO Trojans. Those so called 'Vandy Boys' dropped Saturday's contest to the FAU Owls and darn near lost that Opening Series at Home, before going down again last night to the University of Dayton Flyers. It's certainly baseball season baybay!! We hinted we'd begin to touch a little on Combat Sports here at Son Los Marlins. Though new UFC Featherweight Champion Ilia Topuria did more than touch up former Champion Alexander Volkanovski en route to a 2nd Rd. Knock Out Saturday. (Btw, Topuria was not born i
