They did it! The 2023 Miami Marlins season felt over so many times, but they still found a way to win when they needed to, clinching a postseason berth on Saturday in Pittsburgh. By the end of the regular season, they were down to two reliable starting pitchers and had to play crucial games without Luis Arraez. The incompetence of the New York Mets grounds crew put them at an even bigger disadvantage. Despite that, they kept clawing back when you least expected them to. It's been an unreal improvement from last year and seems like they're having fun doing it. Live it up, Fish fans!

Two men on, no outs for Jesús Sánchez, who tripled to drive them in...with some help from the home plate umpire. The Fish ultimate lost, 7-4, and things are looking a little grim. But the Sánchez moment was a reminder that there's still "Marlins Magic" working in their favor.
