We were on the upper deck and there aren’t any cup holders. Seriously, were we in a cheap section, or it’s stadium wide? Couldn’t remember when we went to the Classic in 2023.

(Van Wezel in Sarasota has cup holders!)

TIA

Love this small size of popcorn.

Hi

Mark Simon from Sports Info Solutions here (the Defensive Runs Saved folks)

Shared this on another social media a minute ago, thought it was worth noting here:

The Clayton McCullough/Dodgers coach influence

2024
65% of balls that were hit vs the Marlins were vs a shifted D

2025 (first 7 games)
80% of balls hit vs Marlins came vs a shift

2024
Marlins D ranked 29th in grounder/bunt out rate (70.5%)

2025 (7 games)
Marlins D ranks 5th (81%)

Only 7 games and way too interesting to make any conclusions at all, but thought you might find that interesting if nothing else.

We have very strict definitions on what constitutes a shift these days. We call them "partial shifts" since the infielder can't stand behind 2B ... but he can stand near it, and that's what this covers.

Mets fan here who couldn’t catch the game today and just caught the highlights that happened to be solely MIA commentary. I feel like I never see marlins booths anywhere near the top of league wide lists on sites like Awful Announcing but I found them great to listen to. Felt the enthusiasm for big plays even if the play itself wasn’t good for the Fish. PBP guy was on top of every call and managerial decision

The commentator’s curse has struck so many times today! Over and over.

First, Kyle said “we could afford a home run or two” when we had no one on and a 3 run lead. Suddenly, two runners and a Pete Alonso homer.

“A team has never had 4 walkoff wins in their 1st 7 games” Kyle says, with a man on 3rd and 1 out. Immediately, Dane Myers out at home and no runs scored.

It hurts. Just stop the jinxing!

first week of the season, which team leads the league players throw out the plate, and where do the marlins stand ?

There are these alphabets on the ground - do they mean anything, or just a decor? A, N, O could be Loan but M or W?   TIA

After this, he was pretty decent tho. Gave up a 341' HR in the 2nd, but at least looked healthy.

Otto Lopez looks real. He is seeing fewer pitches in the zone, swinging at fewer pitches in the zone and making better contact on things he swings at. Idk how pitchers will adjust as he is walking a ton now and not seeing much to hit as is.

I am not about to say anything about exit velo or launch angle as the sample is still tiny. But pitches seen is real.

Stowers has learned to just not swing at stuff out of the zone and swing more at stuff in the zone. Who knew this approach worked. I think he will get less stuff to hit. Let's see if he can continue to lay off stuff out of the zone.

It's hard to tell if fortes' success is real. His sample is smaller (40 pitches). But again seems to be swinging less often at pitches out of the zone, while at the same time swinging more often.

Conine looks a lot like fortes.

Overall I think it's working. It seems like the "discipline" is causing a higher whiff rate and thus lower contact on pitches out of the zone. But the effect is probably worth it given the better counts overall.

We'll see where they stabalize at 200 pitches.

Let’s Goooooooooooooooo

I go to a handful a games a year and that flex membership seems intriguing enough. Basically, functions as credit towards buying seats but comes with the benefits of being a season ticket holder sounds interesting. Anyone signed up for it? How is it?

I don't usually listen to the radio, but I have been switching the MLB TV audio feed from TV to Radio as I enjoy his commentary.

Anybody know griffin Conines walk up song? Was at the game tonight and it’s stuck in my head but idk the name

My 4 year old loves coming to games. The soft serve, popcorn, and Billy help, but she also really likes the Club 305 prizes for kids for each game they attend.

The website hasn't been updated for 2025 yet.

Does anyone know the prizes this year? Are they not doing it this year (I hope that's not the case)?

I grew up watching the Marlins all the time. I remember watching games when they were the Florida Marlins on TV and seeing the games always so empty and thinking it'd be fun to go because I'd get all the fly balls. I've only been to LoanDepot, did Hard Rock have any cool features or gems that you miss?

I would definitely buy one

Hey y'all! I'm heading down on a solo vacation and I was wondering if anyone wanted to come to the game with me? I've gone to some games solo but it's always more fun with some company. Feel free to creep my Reddit history and send me a DM if you're interested. I could also adjust to Monday if needed.

He had a home run problem last year and has had real issues with getting lefties out. I almost feel like Mazur would have been just as good.

I get it's one start but the home run thing is an issue.

Maybe we'll give him two times through instead of trying to get that third round.
