Brian Miller with a game-saver yesterday ⚾. 


...

The Marlins inked veteran Lefty Gio Gonzalez to a Minor League Deal this morning. Gio, a Pro for the last 17 Years, can easily secure a spot in the Marlins’ Rotation with a decent showing this Spring. He’d be a very welcome addition knowing our Fish will ease the workload on their Talented, but Young, nucleus of Arms. You already had Manager Don Mattingly instructed not to include Sixto Sanchez’s name when mentioning Rotation 🔒locks🔒 in that Starting Staff for ’21. That’s not because Sixto needs more developing (he didn’t need Developing when the Marlins handed him the Ball for not 1, but 2 Playoff Starts last October). It’s for the simple fact Sanchez has not Pitched more than 114 Innings in any Professional Season. Florida will ease their Number 1 Prospect gradually into the 2021 campaign (He just threw his first Bullpen session of the Spring yesterday), understandably so, and he’s not alone. Other Top Prospects in Lefties Trevor Rogers & Braxton Garrett fit this same bill. Rogers’ career high in Innings is 136, Garrett’s is 106, both accomplished in 2019. This puts even more emphasis on a Minor League Contract that could soon pay Big League dividends signed by 1 Gio Gonzalez, who has topped 170 MLB Innings 7 Times throughout a very long career.

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

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

HOW TO FIX THE MARLINS?

Image
The Miami Herald had an article out yesterday ranking some of the most disappointing Seasons in Marlins history. The 2021 Season certainly made their list in what has certainly been a "disappointing" , 'frustrating', and many times just plain 'odd' year in regards to management of the Marlins Roster. This management, or better yet, mismanagement, of the Team's Transactions however, is not new to 2021.   This Fish Front Office made 'the' worst Trade in Franchise History months after being given the reigns to the Club back in 2017. A Trade the Marlins can not move on from   4 years and counting 👴  now. But just as the Front Office brass envisioned, Lewis Brinson starts in the Outfield and Hits right smack dab in the middle of the Team's Batting Order, every single day. What they probably didn't envision, is for Brinson to have a Career WAR of -3.3, Three Hundred and Thirty-Five Games into his Big League Career.  It's not like the guy he
