https://fishonfirst.com/blogs/entry/23788-zen-and-the-art-of-disrespecting-your-ace/I wrote this last night and I’ve cooled down a little bit. But I think it’s better to say what I meant without censoring myself so I'll present it as I wrote it fresh off of last night's heart-breaker.   I don’t think I’ve ever felt this angry about a baseball game before.  ...23788Wed, 08 Apr 2026 14:03:02 +0000https://fishonfirst.com/blogs/entry/23780-can-the-marlins-salvage-deyvison-de-los-santos/As the offseason drags on and we see more and more eligible players getting snatched up by teams willing to open their wallets while the Marlins remain silent, hope begins to dissipate that this will, in fact, be the season when Sherman coughs up the dough. I don’t necessarily think that this is th...23780Fri, 05 Dec 2025 21:04:08 +0000https://fishonfirst.com/blogs/entry/23778-marlins-in-the-arizona-fall-league-breakouts-red-flags-and-what-comes-next/With the Mesa Solar Sox’s Arizona Fall League season coming to a close yesterday, I thought it’d be interesting to stack the players’ pre-AFL numbers against what they did under the desert lights, and take a moment to analyze what those performances actually mean. The AFL is, by nature, a small sam...23778Fri, 14 Nov 2025 21:42:21 +0000https://fishonfirst.com/blogs/entry/23773-who-is-in-the-marlins-bullpen-of-the-future/The season isn’t over yet and, at the time of writing this, the Fish are still alive in the wild card hunt- hanging by a thread, but not yet mathematically eliminated. With four games left, that in itself is an accomplishment when you think back to the expectations (or lack thereof) for this team i...23773Thu, 25 Sep 2025 03:32:38 +0000https://fishonfirst.com/blogs/entry/23772-an-ode-to-edward-cabrera/In what feels like the toughest blow of the season, Edward Cabrera is now dealing with an elbow strain- often the first warning sign of Tommy John surgery. Injuries are always unfortunate, but for Cabrera, this news stings even more. Just as he finally found consistency with his electric stuff, the...23772Fri, 05 Sep 2025 14:13:06 +0000https://fishonfirst.com/blogs/entry/23769-marsee-madness-must-be-studied/In a season where optimism is starting to become harder to find than disappointment, it would be easy to write off some late-season roster additions as reactive moves to fight injuries and trades- much like many of us did last year, when the Marlins broke the record for most players added to the ac...23769Tue, 19 Aug 2025 17:09:42 +0000https://fishonfirst.com/blogs/entry/23768-the-curious-case-of-eric-wagamans-nine-lives/Ceaseless curiosity pulls me forward. Whether I’m wondering how Stonehenge was built or why good people suffer, there is but one question that stands out most right now: Why is Eric Wagaman still one of the Marlins’ most-used players despite consistently failing at the plate? Maybe that doesn’...23768Wed, 13 Aug 2025 22:38:31 +0000https://fishonfirst.com/blogs/entry/23767-from-rockies-rock-bottom-to-the-truist-park-reality-check-where-the-2025-marlins-stand/Fifty games ago, the Marlins had just been swept by the worst team in baseball. The Colorado Rockies didn’t just beat them- they embarrassed them. Morale was at rock bottom, and expectations for the rest of the season were about as low as they could get. Then something happened. The Fish rattl...23767Mon, 11 Aug 2025 00:30:50 +0000
