30+ Years and the Marlins FINALLY hit for Cycle...
Hey look at that only took the Miami Marlins 30+ years to have someone hit for the cycle! Remember the team was birthed in 1993 and won two world series one in 1997 and another in 2003! So now the Miami Marlins who have had a very rough couple of seasons have something nice to enjoy this easter week! AS FINALLY the Miami fighting Marlins have a player hit for the Cycle.
And it's someone not many thought would be the guy to deliver such a game! I mean he's not known as a big "home run" hitter but he's more of a line drive singles, doubles guy. Not even someone who steals many bags but gets on base a lot and someone be brought in for Pablo Lopez this off season!
Yes Luis Araez who's off to a very hot start hit his first home run as a member of the Marlins and the Cycle on the same night Jesus Lazardo pitched a great ball game.
Check out the highlights below here...
Angel Espino to be a Guest on Fish Stripes!
Well this is cool! As you all know I'm a big baseball fan and a BIG Miami Marlins fan and for me having watched 4 world series live from "1988-1989" in California to "1997 & 2003" in Miami Florida!
I've been a fan since I was a kid and my father is the man to blame. He took me to all those games even when we had moved to Miami in 1985 he went back to Cali with me to see them two WORLD SERIES sine one of my uncles (his brothers) still lived out west and always got us tickets to the playoffs, and WS games if we we're able to go.
As of luck got to see all those home games out there, and then it repeated itself here in Miami when the Marlins known then as "Florida Marlins" went to the World Series.

So while I've done very little of my own in terms on podcasting sports in the past I've been a fan of baseball as most who know me know and so when I was check out videos online I like watching mostly Marlins, and Rays coverage these days and the videos of Fish Stripes on YouTube is a show I've enjoyed for a while now.
As the new MLB season is starting up I really wanted to show them some love for the outstanding work they do on their shows get sometime soon to jump on air with them and talk some baseball. They had a spot coming up so I'm going to join the guys and talk some Marlins baseball and perhaps other teams also who knows.
Ely Sussman is the main dude I spoke to there and he's got a nice show going on there.. It's always an cool to be a guest on someone else's show especially when it's a fun show to chop it up about baseball or something other than the normal stuff I get into with my guests.
So coming up Monday at 5:30pm est soon as the recording is ready to roll and it's posted I shall post it here on this site, and my other ones also. As of now not sure if they will air it live or pre record and upload later but I'll keep you informed and I'm sure it will be on their site for your viewing enjoyment.
But for now friends check out their site and enjoy the show they put on and if you're from the SoFlo/Miami area. So show them some love by subscribing to them, bookmarking them so you could keep up with the latest info on the Miami Marlins.
Mattingly wont return to manage Marlins in 2023
While I loved as a player I can say he wasn’t as great a manager but good enough to keep during the growing pains of rebuilding, and wishing he would get better over those seven years.
Three dismantlement, and rebuilding later and he’s still not good and this past season is by far one of the worst in team or MLB history. A team loaded with talent which seems like it was fighting to end up in last place not first.
He made a lot of bad moves as a manager but he was mostly often failed by bad moves in the front office and this past year was the same! Forced to tale on 3 big bloated contracts from OF which couldn’t hit all year he was forced to play these guys over young talented rookies which would have done a better job at these positions. Also if you’re in rebuild mode why would you spend all that money on these 3 contracts which A is a catcher known to NOT be able to hit but has a swell glove? You already had a better option in a Nick Fortes who can hit, and also sports a nice glove. Sure not a GOLD ONE yet but give him time. Also with a plethora of OF Depth why would you sign “Soler, and Garcia” ? These moves make no sense. Jeter left town cause he didn’t like these moves either but he wanted to throw Millions at NICK
CASTELLANOS who also would have been a bad move from looking at it. They should have just developped OF from the players they had, and saved the money to keep their pitching.
Besides ACE Sandy Alcantara the team is loaded with good young arms which are still going thru growing pains and developing. Oh It’s find Don is leaving after all Jeter left so might as well start new next year so with that said can we ditch the rest of this horrible front office? Bruce Sherman if you won’t sell the team AT LEAST ditch [general manager] Kim Ng, She’s horrible.
Now here is the press out off MIAMI:
Manager Don Mattingly and the Marlins have mutually agreed that he will not return for the 2023 season, the team announced on Sunday afternoon.
“We are fortunate to have had Don Mattingly leading our team on the field over the last seven years,” chairman and principal owner Bruce Sherman said in a statement. “He has represented the Marlins, our players, our fans, and the South Florida community with unmatched dignity and pride. Over the course of our recent conversations with Don, we both agreed not to pursue a new contract for the 2023 season and that the time is right for a new voice to lead our clubhouse.”
“After meeting with Mr. Sherman and discussing with [general manager] Kim Ng, all parties agreed that it was time for a new voice for the organization,” Mattingly said in a statement. “I am proud and honored to have served as manager of the Marlins for the past seven years and have enjoyed my experiences and relationships I’ve developed within the organization. I look forward to spending time with my family in Evansville, and to any future endeavors.”
— Miami Marlins (@Marlins) September 25, 2022
The longest-tenured and winningest skipper in franchise history, Mattingly entered the series finale against the Nationals with a 437-583 record (.428 winning percentage) in seven seasons. After five years with the Dodgers from 2011-15, during which he led the club to three straight National League West titles, he signed a four-year deal in November 2015 to become the 15th manager in Marlins history, when the organization had a roster including the late José Fernández as well as future MVPs Giancarlo Stanton and Christian Yelich.
But a rebuilding stage began under the current ownership group soon after, and Mattingly didn’t reach the playoffs with Miami until the 2020 COVID-19-shortened campaign, helping the franchise snap a 16-year postseason drought in its only winning season under his tutelage. He went on to win National League Manager of the Year that season.
In September 2019, Mattingly signed a two-year contract extension with a mutual option for ’22 (it was his idea to have a deadline for it) that was exercised July ‘21, meaning he is not under contract for next season.
It has been a disappointing 2022 for the Marlins (63-89), who expected to contend in the competitive NL East but sustained a multitude of injuries to the likes of All-Star Jazz Chisholm Jr. and more, as well as the underperformance of marquee signing Avisaíl García.
Asked whether the outcome might have been different had the season gone differently, Ng said it’s “always a consideration” because it’s an “outcomes-based industry.”
“When you have a season like this one, where everyone is really disappointed at the end of the year, the outcomes, I think you reflect quite a bit — and a lot of self-reflection, I think, on everybody’s part,” Ng said. “It was through conversations we all just got to the same place, which is that Donnie wasn’t going to pursue a contract for ‘23 and we were not going to pursue a contract for ‘23.”
When asked about Sherman mentioning a new voice to lead, Ng later added, “I didn’t sense any disconnect. I watched the club intently the last couple of months, and they’re still playing hard. But sometimes somebody new adds a little bit something different, and that clicks. Again, I think between all parties, this was just the way we decided to go.”
What this means for the rest of Mattingly’s coaching staff has yet to be determined because the organization’s focus had been on the conversations that led to Sunday. As for the next manager, Ng said it is important but not a prerequisite that they have Major League experience. The Marlins want someone in as soon as possible.
So why Sunday with 10 games left in the season?
“I don’t know that there’s ever a good day for this type of thing,” Ng said. “In order for Don to also say goodbye to people, it’s hard to do the day after the season. So today was fine, and tomorrow’s an off-day. It gives everyone a little bit of a chance to breathe.”Remembering Jose Fernandez
José Delfín Fernández Gómez was a Cuban-American professional baseball pitcher who played four seasons in Major League Baseball. He was a member of the Miami Marlins from 2013 until his death in 2016. He stood 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighed 243 pounds during his playing career.
Miami Marlins Michael Hill Supports B.L.M Terrorists!
Marlins executive speaks out on ‘Black Lives Matter,’ how change needs to come, and how he supports their movement. As we have become fully aware these past two weeks this group along with Anti-fa have destroyed, looted, and rioted all over this country. This are terrorists in our own country! They are Domestic terror groups, and now we know where Michael Hill, the Miami Marlins, and MLB stand. Not behind our rule of law, or constitution. But they stand behind terrorists groups. And again instead of using his platform to try and bring unity Hill like BLM use it to bring more division to the country.
I for one don’t need sports or new media “entertainment” coming from Hollyweird if this is how they feel. They can all go to hell. Hope they never reopen at this point. How do you like them Apples Mr Hill?
Michael Hill wrapped up a busy week with the MLB draft. As president of baseball operations for the Miami Marlins, Hill was ecstatic with the pitchers the team was able to find in the draft. He believes the future is bright for the organization.
But, Hill also had an issue he wanted to discuss that he felt was much more important to the future, and it had nothing to do with baseball.
Hill joined Local 10 Sports Sunday and discussed a topic that is at the forefront of so many conversations these days in America; racial injustice and police brutality toward members of the black community.
Hill is one of only a handful of black executives in Major League Baseball. He was born to an African-American father and a Cuban mother. He feels he can be part of the voice for change and said now is the time to take action.
“We rallied our group of leaders in baseball and said, ‘Enough is enough.’ Racial injustice, we know it’s despicable, but we know that we all can do more. We know as a powerful group we can do more. We can bring awareness, which was the first goal, but the second goal was to try and keep this movement moving forward,” Hill explained on the show.
Hill knows that people care, but he wants to make sure that it doesn’t stop with just words and statements of change.
“So many times when something awful happens, we all acknowledge it’s awful and then we’re on to our next thing in 24 hours, but this was something that we wanted to put our money where our mouth was. We wanted to make sure that this movement continues and change is truly put in place,” Hill stressed.
He added, “We understand that ’Black Lives Matter,’ but we also wanted to show that we are united for change. Thirty competitors in baseball were united and we’re all going to use our voices that we have to do more. There’s some self reflection that we all have to do.”
MLB announced that donations were made to several organizations that support and fight for racial justice, including the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Equal Justice Initiative, Color OF Change, Campaign Zero and the Jackie Robinson Foundation.
