Things painted dark for Miami Marlins From the same beginning of this season. Between losses of players and lack of activity by the directive of the combined in the recess between campaigns, the fish looked destined to be victims of multiple disappointments, even in the same opening week of the tournament.
But at least at a start, the panorama is much more encouraging than predicted. Despite succumbing last Wednesday by a score of 6-5 in 11 innings against the New York Mets in the Landepot Park, Miami made it clear that it will not make the easy way to any of its rivals in 2025.
Those now led by Clayton McCullough closed the first week of the tournament with a positive balance of 4-3, including victories by the “Walk-Off” in each of its first three ales of the current championship.
“I think we show how good team we are and what we can be,” said the toletero Xavier Edwards to the official club portal. “Many guts, there is a lot of fight in this team and there were many opportunities in the games that we lost in this stay at home. I think we are going to learn from them, correct them. Just try to play a cleaner baseball, started with myself,” he added.
Beyond a defeat by wide score of 10-4 last Monday, the Marlins were fully involved in the fight for each challenge of the first week. The team had surpassed its rivals on the Global Marker 25-22, not counting that commitment on Monday.
They collect the fruits
Much of the success that the organization has had so far is based on the work carried out by McCullough and company during spring training, when they simulated game situations as many times as possible to prevent rivals from taking advantage of a roster with little experience.
“They have been excellent in all facets of the game. In the pitching, batting, ran of bases, in the infield,” Edwards said. “They have been mounted on that. I think it has been seen with our defense so far. There are a couple of plays that I must correct. I think that beyond that we have played a very good defense as a team to this point.”
