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 Baseball Circuit. 5 Teams to certainty keep an eye on over the spring and into the summer.






We talked in our previous Son Los Marlins post about the upcoming Heavyweight Bout that will take place this Friday in Saudi Arabia, when former Heavyweight Champ Anthony Joshua takes on lineal UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Nganou.





UFC 299 will also take place this Saturday in a location a little closer than Saudi Arabia. Kaseya Center (better known as the Triple-A) the home of the Miami Heat, will host one of the more stacked UFC cards in recent memory (which is not saying much). Bantamweight Champion 'Sugar' Sean O'Malley will try and avenge his only MMA Loss to Ecuador's Chito Vera. Former UFC Champions Dustin Poirier, Petr Yan and Rafael dos Anjos are on the Miami undercard. While the entire event features names like Gilbert Burns, Kevin Holland, Curtis Blaydes and Michel Pereira.






Those Kaseya Center's Miami Heat were in action this past Saturday, rebounding from their Game in Denver with a 126-120 Win over the Utah Jazz. The Heat will be back at it tomorrow at Home against the lowly Detroit Pistons. Detroit was just in Orlando yesterday, beginning their Florida road trip against that underrated Orlando Magic Squad. The Magic cruised to a 113-91 Victory. Don't sleep on Florida Basketball!!






It's certainly a busy busy time of year in the sports world. Something called ''March Madness'' is suppose to kick off this month too. Somebody should tell everyone it's also WrestleMania Season 😉, Now We're Talking!!!

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

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
