Marlins Offense: Possible Solutions Not Too Distant
With some internal and/or modest changes, the offensive woes have the possibility to be resolved more easily than expected.
When looking at the 2013 Marlins season, the very second that the Opening Day lineup was announced with Placido Polanco in the cleanup spot behind Giancarlo Stanton, it was very clear that the offense was in severe dire straits far more worse than anticipated...
Youthful Miami Marlins Bringing Excitement to the Team
The first 45 games for the Miami Marlins have gone … well, technically, they’ve gone just as expected. They sit in last place in the National League East with a 13-32 record, 13.5 games behind the first place Atlanta Braves, and overall having the worst record in the National League, as well as tied for worst in the Majors with the Houston Astros. The Marlins haven’t hit...

Young Marlins eager to get back to work in Miami
MIAMI Nearly four hours before Tuesday nights first pitch and a full 90 minutes before batting practice, several Miami Marlins were on their home turf performing drills under a bright sun thanks to the open roof.

Welcome to the latest installment of “Sleepers Who Have Been Slept On.” The Miami Marlins are the second worst team in baseball if you take into account their run differential. As of Tuesday, they have allowed 44 more runs than they have scored. This is tied for second with the disappointing Toronto Blue Jays.
The Marlins have assembled a young...
MLB home run perplexes MLB players and announcers
This clip comes to us by way of last night's Padres-Marlins game. A routine Will Venable home run turns into a blooper reel moment. Marlins right fielder Marcell Ozuna has no idea where the ball is. The Padres play by play man (not Dick Enberg, I believe it's Andy Masur, but I'm not sure) has no idea where the ball is. Heck, even Venable himself has no idea where...
Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna is confused by Will Venable home run (Video)
We've posted some pretty bizarre Major League Baseball moments over the years here on Outside the Boxscore but a moment from last night's Marlins/Padres games might take the cake for one of the strangest.
The moment happened in the second inning of play as Marlins pitcher Alex Sanabia delivered a pitch to San Diego's Will Venable who appeared to hit a lazy fly ball...
Sanabia Loses Homecoming Game
Alex Sanabia pitched for the first time in San Diego as a Major Leaguer and fell to 2-5 in the process. The San Diego native was the pitcher of record in the Miami Marlins’ 5-1 loss to the Padres.

Miami Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna lost a fly ball in the lights during Tuesday night’s loss to the San Diego Padres. It has happened to some of the best players in baseball over the years, so there is nothing Ozuna should be ashamed of. Well, maybe a little bit.
The thing that made the ball Ozuna lost track of so unique is that it flew...
Marlins’ Marcell Ozuna Loses Fly Ball That Was Home Run
Miamai Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna appears to be camped under a lazy fly ball off the bat of Will Venable. Moments later Ozuna loses the ball, reason being it was a home run that he was never close to catching. Even Venable was confused on the play as his body language indicated he thought he was out.

It led Will Venable to do this:
GOTCHA!
OF fakes out everyone on home run
This is one of the most bizarre home runs I've ever seen. In the second inning of the Marlins-Padres game on Tuesday night, Padres outfielder Will Venable hits a fly ball to right field off of Marlins starter Alex Sanabia. Miami right fielder Marcell Ozuna settles down to make the catch in normal depth in right field as San Diego's announcers prepare to call the fly out....
Miami Puts Up 14 Runs
The Miami Marlins’ offense has a big day on Sunday beating the Philadelphia Phillies by a final score of 14-2. Miami scored nine runs in the first few innings and continued to add on as the game progressed. The oddity of this outburst is Kevin Slowey was the starter and he had received the worst run support thus far. With the ton of support, Slowey won his first game as...
