Morning Marlin Maniacs, TGIF from the Pacific Time Zone. Last forty-eight hours have been spent trekking across the Western Plains, Route 66, and a sliver of desert to arrive in Phoenix just in time to kick off a round of baseball stadium hopping and non-stop Marlins baseball. So apologies for leaving you by your lonesome to endure that two-game losing streak to a team that’s challenging the Braves for the title of “Worst Team In Baseball That’d Be Great If They Could Play the Marlins Everyday.” But the payoff is a ton of coverage, stadium pieces, and regular reporting for the duration of the club’s West Coast swing.

Lastly, Chris Landers of Cut4 at MLB.com has a write up on Giancarlo Stanton‘s latest achievement: hitting a ground ball uber hard. Hopefully, the big guy’s breaking of his extended futility streak though. Interest number crunching though; enjoy.
