Miami Marlins Fish Flash 4/6

facebooktwitterreddit

One game down.  Only 161 to go.  October excluded, naturally.

One game does not a season make, but yesterday’s twenty-fourth Opener comes out as a mixed bag.  On the one hand, the Tigers managed to tie the Marlins franchise mark for runs allowed on the first day of the season.  On the other, the offense showed some real fight in battling back from a 5-0 deficit to force bonus baseball on Opening Day for the second time ever.  Lots to digest, and less than a day to do so with this afternoon’s early bird start time.

Which brings us to your morning Marlins Fish Flash.  We loop you in one last blast of kicking off the season pieces, and invite you to dream big on what we hope will be a very merry Jose Day for all.
