Jose Fernandez's Fake-Out Play Was Ballsy And Awesome
One of the coolest things about Jose Fernandez is that even though he is one of the most dominant young pitchers in the league, his two most impressive highlights have nothing to do with pitching....
Holy Shit, The Marlins And Braves Cannot Stop Striking Each Other Out
Remember last night, when the Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins combined to strike out 28 times, a thing that had never before occurred in the modern era? Well, those crazy free-swingers went and did the exact same thing today, and they didn't even need a full nine innings to do it this time. ...
Jose Fernandez And Alex Wood Strike Out Everyone
Last night, the Marlins and Braves teamed up to do something that has never been done in the modern era: they combined to strike out 28 times in a nine inning game while failing to draw a single walk. After checking the math real quick, I believe that is an assload of strikeouts....
Miami Marlins Owner's Insane Book About <em>Peanuts</em> Will Melt Your Brain
When we speak of spring and baseball, we speak of renewal. New shoots of grass, possibility, the warm rays in Florida. We rarely mention the game's antipodal force that dwells there too, a darkness that consumes joy—its unblinking saurian eyes unevolved for 37 million years, unregenerate in its pred...
A Lesson From Carlos Gonzalez And Jose Fernandez: Baseball Is Fun
Consider this GIF a manifesto....
Jose Fernandez Grounds Out Weakly; Mom And Grandma Laugh At Him
Jose Fernandez is your Marlins Opening Day starter. He's a great, young pitcher who, according to Eduardo Perez, also thinks he's a great, young hitter. Perez said during the broadcast that he considers himself a cleanup hitter. So far, through four scoreless innings against the Rockies, he's given ...
Marlins Dad Abandons Son For Ground-Rule Double
There is something about retrieving baseballs that is hard-wired into the psyche of all adult males. Maybe it's a vestige of our hunter-gatherer path, but even the sanest of men can't help but drop everything and goofily run after a $17 ball. It's a poor job by evolution, because sometimes we drop o...
Giancarlo Stanton Crushed A Big-Ass Home Run Today
This happened in the seventh inning of today's spring training game between the Marlins and the Mets. Can anybody mash a tater as hard as Giancarlo Stanton can? No, nobody can mash a tater as hard as Giancarlo Stanton can....
The Marlins Are "Outraged" Over The Red Sox's Spring Training Lineup
The Marlins are reportedly quite pissed that the Red Sox fielded barely any major leaguers for today's spring training matchup. I will get this out of the way so you needn't bother: Marlins fans are quite pissed that the Marlins field barely any major leaguers during the regular season....
Marlins President Eliminated On First Night Of <em>Survivor</em>
Miami Marlins president and inveterate asshole David Samson failed to make it through even one evening of this new season of Survivor without being eliminated after his tribe voted overwhelmingly to eject the smarmy thug from the program....
The Ravenously Shameless Pastel Brutality Of The Miami Marlins
The following was originally published in the 2014 edition of Baseball Prospectus. In a departure from established practice, this year's edition features contributions from a wide array of outside writers, who came through with a series of essays that shows off the full stylistic diversity of contem...
Jose Fernandez's Surprise Reunion With His Grandmother Is Heartwarming
At the risk of sounding like a sentimental sap, this is definitely the coolest thing you will see today. Marlins superstar pitcher Jose Fernandez hasn't seen his grandmother since he defected from Cuba at the age of 15. So the Marlins decided to sit him down for an interview, ask him to talk about h...
Disgusting Rich Person Jeffrey Loria Sold A Painting For $32.6 Million
When Jeffrey Loria isn't busy running the Marlins into the ground, he's wheeling and dealing in the art world. On Monday, he sold a (lovely!) portrait by Alberto Giacometti for $32.6 million at a New York art auction. That puts the painting's value just $7 million shy of the current payroll of the M...
The Marlins Put The Wrong Date On Their Dumb, Fake No-Hitter Tickets
Well, stupid begets stupid. The Marlins have been selling the 9,100 unused tickets to Henderson Alvarez's walk-off no-hitter in the season finale. Dumb, but not unbearably so. Until they fucked up the date on the print-out tickets. ...
The Marlins Are Selling Tickets To Henderson Alvarez's No-Hitter
Sunday's season finale was actually the fourth-best attended game of the year at Marlins Park. An announced crowd of 28,315 watched Henderson Alvarez complete a bizarre no-hitter that ended with him in the on-deck circle. Though the season is over, that game might turn out to be the Marlins' only se...
Henderson Álvarez Throws The Weirdest No-Hitter In Decades
Marlins pitcher Henderson Álvarez joined the immortal list of pitchers to throw a no-hitter, but he needed the help of his opposing Tigers pitcher to pull it off....
Blown Calls Don't Get More Blown Than Bucknor Robbing Yelich
The Marlins tonight won their 59th game of the season, over the Phillies, no thanks to this call at first by umpire CB Bucknor. If this weren't a senioritis game between two also-rans, it would definitely go down as one of the biggest botched calls in recent memory. Heck, this was a meaningless game...
What Drove Adeiny Hechavarria To Make This Preposterous Grab? <em>Revenge.</em>
Hechavarria came over from Toronto in the big Buehrle-Reyes-Johnson trade, and given the chance to play every day, his defense has been uneven but occasionally spectacular. Last night was one of those occasions....
Giancarlo Stanton Hit A Baseball Pretty Goddamned Far
The Marlins may be a festering pile of Jeffrey Loria's shit, but they still have Giancarlo Stanton on the roster. It's a welcome presence because at least someone in the organization is capable of reaching the brass ring beyond "total embarrassment to humanity." ...
Jeffrey Loria Is Running The Marlins Into The Ground
This is news that should curdle the blood of Marlins fans: According to local and national reports, the front office is irrevocably fractured, and baseball decisions are being made by Jeffrey Loria....
