Son Los Marlins

  Despite yesterday's Extra Inning Loss to the Giants, there's quite a bit to be content about with this '23 Marlins Team in the early going. From Winning 3 straight Series (including this previous 1 against SF), and taking 4 of the 6 Series played overall so far in 2023. To Luis Arraez's scorching start 🔥 to the Season. Followed by the resurgence of Jorge Soler 💪. The electric stuff continuing to come out of the left arm of Jesus Luzardo  🦎 . All the way to seeing what the Marlins Bullpen has been able to do  🔒🔒🔒  when given the ball with the lead. The Fish hit the Road again starting tomorrow to face a couple of rivals, one in the not so traditionary sense. The Cleveland Indians (back then) and Marlins squared off in Florida's 1st ever World Series back in 1997. Fitting one could say that the Fish & Guardians (known now) meet as the Marlins are celebrating their 30th Anniversary Season throughout 2023. Cleveland is coming off a Division crown in 2022...

  10 Games in and the Marlins have seen almost exclusively the New York Mets in 2023. N.Y took 3 out 4 in Miami to open the Season, however the Fish were able to avoid the sweep in Flushing yesterday, this after Sandy Alcantara/Jesus Luzardo & Co. took the in between Series from the Minnesota Twins @ the Depot last week. Yesterday's Easter Victory could prove some what large in the very early going of the '23 Campaign. Not only did it avoid the Sweep at the hands of the Mets, but the Marlins did it with their number 5 Starter in they're Rotation on the Bump. Selecting to give Alcantara the extra day's rest after his Complete Game Shutout against the Twins on Tuesday. Braxton Garrett, replacing Johnny Cueto (Florida's Number 5 Starter) because of Injury and lack of performance, got the ball in Queens Sunday. Garrett's 1st Start of the year came against an opponent in the Mets he had made 3 Career Starts against (0-1, 3.80 ERA in those Outings coming in). A Ga...

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), Dontrell...

  The Fish quietly added a couple Veterans, another flamethrower from the Left side, and a little Minor League Depth to the 2023 Bullpen. How it all pieces together is the job of new Manager Skip Schumaker and G.M Kim Ng. But there's no denying the Pen has a little different feel to it.  New Vets Matt Barnes (not the tattoo guy who used to play for the Lakers) and JT Chargois, bring parts of 14 Years of combined MLB experience to the Marlins Bullpen, Barnes as the Red-Sox Closer over the last few Seasons. Both Barnes & Chargois have very similar repertoires, while they can rush it up there (Chargois in the high 90's), they are very reliant on a wipeout Slider that can be very effective against both Lefties and especially Righties. Both have had good Springs, while both had a little something to prove after being Traded to the Fish. Returning  Vets The Marlins brought back 2 Veteran Relievers that played important roles in 2022. Tanner Scott quietly Saved 20 Games last...

  If you follow us on Twitter @SantiagoMarlins , @luchamarlins , @NeneMarlins  you'll see we have some fun with small recaps following every Marlins Spring Training Game. Spring however, is also now short on time, as Exhibition Games for the Marlins wrap up Sunday, and there are still quite a few decisions left to be made in Fish Camp. Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies probably said it best when speaking on the WBC. The World Baseball Classic came to it's most epic of conclusions last night at Marlins Park. Movie-Like was the setting, as best player in the world (said C.M Punk once upon a time) Shohei Ohtani, held Japan's 1 Run Lead on the mound in the 9th Inning. While in the Batters Box was none other than former best in the world Mike Trout, representing the United States. Star Teammates on the Los Angles Angles turned rivals for this WBC At Bat. The result was the deserved exclamation point for the 2 way Superstar Ohtani. Doing things in the Game that h...

  How intense (and of course fun) have these World Baseball Classic Games been! And we're barely on the 1st leg of the Tournament, which started in Taiwan Wednesday.. Group Play got underway States side over the weekend, and Marlins Park was right in the middle of it all...  Over 35,000 Fans packed loanDepot in Miami on Saturday for 2 WBC GAMES! Not 35 Thousand combined. 35 Grand, each!! Over 71,000 Baseball fans in a single day filled the blue seats in Miami to support Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic!!! Team Mexico stunned USA last night, building an 11-2 Lead in route to Victory at a packed house in Arizona 🇲🇽. Samurai Japan went a perfect 4-0 in Group Play, as electricity has run through the Tokyo Dome with the craze that is baseball and Shohei Ohtani 🇯🇵. You've got unbelievable MLB All-Star talent on Squads like the D.R and especially Team USA. There are Teammates on Major League Organizations squaring off against one an...

  How can you tell Spring has arrived? That's easy, whether it's the Caribbean🌴 Series, Marlins ⚾ Fan Fest this past weekend, or Pitchers and Catchers reporting Monday?..Sort of 😉. Spring Training at least, is here.  For Marlins Backstops & men on the Mound who will be participating in the upcoming WBC, Monday marked the 1st mandatory workout on the backfields of Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, FL. But as you can see  👇 , there were quite a few extra bodies who were more than eager to get the baseball season going. Jupiter Bullpens by C. De Nicola      By tomorrow February 16, all Pitchers & Catchers along with WBC Position Players must arrive to Jupiter, while the first full squad workout for the Marlins is scheduled for February 21st.  We mentioned Fan Fest Saturday, the Fish also struck a deal following their 2023 Season Kickoff Event. Trading Outfielder/former 1st Round Pick J.J Bleday to the Oakland Athletics for Reliever and f...

  It's the Holiday Season 🎅, which means the New Year is right around the corner 🎉, which also means baseball ⚾️ isn't too far behind. Spring Training will quickly creep up the calendar in February and when the Marlins open camp in 2023, a Position that has been locked down for the last 3 Seasons may have some moving parts to it. Shortstop has been Marlins Leader/unOfficial Captain Miguel Rojas' going into the last 3 years. Miggy-Ro was given the reigns at Short during the 2019 Campaign by Derek Jeter/Don Mattingly & company and has never looked back. Making the absolute most of his first opportunity into becoming a Big League Regular. Batting .277 to go along with a respectable .334 OBP in over 300 Games Played from '19-2021.  Twice, Rojas has Signed Team friendly 2 Year Contract Extensions in Miami, due in large part to the leadership he's brought to the Clubhouse (especially during the 2020 Playoff Season in the middle of the pandemic).  All while ...

  The 2022 Regular Season may have wrapped up Wednesday, but even for the Marlins who won't be Playing in this Postseason, there's a lot of work to do now and into the Winter. The Fish ended with a 14-13 Record over their last 27 Games, which not only helped them avoid a 100 Loss Season, but also avoided 95 Losses from which they would have suffered from for the 4th time in 5 years. As the Marlins look to 2023, where do things stand on the Position Player side, which is by far the weakest layer of the Club?  A name that had the most to do with that final month success was Bryan De La Cruz. To think the Fish Lost 6 Games even with their 14-13 Record, in which they were leading into the 7th Inning (with half of those Losses coming at the hands of the Cubs & Nationals 😬), at least shows the Marlin Bats awoke (especially from the horrendous Offensive stretch they had going for a month and a half).  De La Cruz's numbers following his Call back to the Big Leagues on S...
