Who Can we Bring Up to Boost the Offense?

Looking at last night's JAX box score, four players become obvious candidates

  1. De Los Santos had three hits and is hitting 261, played first

  2. Jacob Berry had one hit and is hitting 292, played third

  3. Kemp Alderman had one hit and is hitting 289, played right field

  4. Cody Morissette had one hit and is batting 318, played DH

We have no shortage of players to send down

he deactivated his IG, full teenager meltdown mode. and I don’t mean that disrespectfully!!!! I feel bad!!!!! big emotions!!!! I know sometimes it’s hard to feel bad for athletes and any celebrity when they’re getting paid big money for what we consider “easy” work but I saw he deactivated and my big heart went out to him, I hope he puts in the work in triple A!!!! ☹️🫶🏽

The Athletic ranks the Miami Marlins at #15, tied with Toronto

>T-15. Miami Marlins (15.0)
Record: 19-22
Last Power Ranking: 17

>One reason to believe in this team: Three good starters, two good middle infielders, just waiting for the outfield.
Quick, what’s the best middle-infield combo in baseball, and how many pairs of teammates would you guess before landing on Otto Lopez and Xavier Edwards? Because, through the weekend, Lopez ranked third among major-league shortstops in fWAR (behind only Bobby Witt Jr. and Elly De La Cruz) and Edwards ranked fourth among second basemen (behind Brice Turang, Brandon Lowe and Nico Hoerner).
Sandy Alcantara, Max Meyer and Janson Junk have been a solid top three in the rotation, and the Marlins are top 10 in bullpen ERA (and expected ERA). If you believe in the inevitable surge of their young outfield — which has been awful so far — then maybe there’s room to get even better, and the NL wild-card race has plenty of room for a surprise contender like this one. — Jennings

My latest effort at merging the different eras together into a throwback-inspired but modern set.

Uses the classic Marlins script, primarily a variation of the 2003-2011 version that was mostly black. This pairs better with the current mostly black Fish.

The silver circle in the primary logo and sleeve patch evokes the original circular primary logo.

Colors are directly pulled from the 1993-2011 and current eras, with the original Marlins Blue (yes that what the style guide calls the teal), Black, Silver, and Orange. The 2019-present "Slate" color pairs well with the OG teal, and adds a some dimension to everything. The orange (only ever as a trim color, never as the primary color on anything) is me throwing a bone to the sickos who actually like the 2012 clownfish era uniforms lol.

For the uniforms, I've avoided the futile "try to make a throwback "M" logo that looks good" challenge by going the Orioles/Jays bird route and just using the Fish on the caps. Looks good, and also kinda looks like an abstract "F" by itself which is neat. Main cap is teal with a black bill, alternate is all black.

I've ignored any City Connect nonsense and did a straightforward set mimicking the late 90s/early 2000s looks. Main home has the black script, the home alt has the teal script and black sleeves, both with teal pinstripes. The road script is riffing on the original away uniforms and can be paired with either cap. Went black with silver lettering for the BP tops for merch sale purposes / an additional alternate option / 2003 WS vibes.
