It has been seen in the past with Games from the World Baseball Classic and the Caribbean series, but it is possible that the real residents of the Landepot Park, the Miami Marlinsthey had serious problems when offering evidence that the city of the south of Florida still breathes baseball with the same passion.
Constantly, Miami is pointed out as one of the cities with the worst public assistance in the majors. Season after season, the fish fail in their attempt to get the attention of their followers enough to go to their modern stadium, opened in 2012, regularly.
However, this past weekend it was clear that Miami residents like baseball. If the show is correct, as were the aforementioned international tournaments, people will fill the seats of the Marlins complex.
In a series against the popular New York Yanquiswhich was played between Friday and last Sunday, the Loan Depot Park housed a total of 101,545 fans, a record for the park in a string of three challenges.
That last clash between Yankees and Marlins in the Sunday day, was witnessed by 34,601 fans, who saw Miami complete the first sweep of their history about New Yorkers, overcoming them again in that task per score of 7-3.
While the presence of the 27 -time World Series champions in the city had a lot to do with the great public assistance, it is no less true that the good moment that the organization of the manager Clayton McCullough is going through also has a lot to do.
After a lousy start of this campaign, in which the Marlins seemed destined for another year in the dark, the currency has achieved the formula to win games with much more frequently.
That Sunday triumph left the Marlins with Balance of .500 (55-55) for the first time since April 15 and positioned them much better in the race for the third wildcutor of the National League.
According to the Specialized Portal Flagraphs, Miami reached the closing of that series with a probability of just 1.2% of reaching the playoffs in 2025.
But with each Kyle Stowers hit, who stayed with the distinction of best player of this past July in the old circuit, or with each launch of Edward Cabrera, who finally remained in the ranks of the team after several rumors of a possible exit from the organization before the deadline of changes, the Marlins have increased their chances of attending the October party.
And with that, they have also increased the interest of a hobby that is eager to continue to curtail its stadium.
