Good morning, Marlin Maniac readers and welcome to Morning Catch, the new daily morning news and notes column from MarlinManiac.com.

Going out to the ballpark on Monday for Miami Marlins Opening Day? Then you can go enjoy a brand-new sandwich the team will feature exclusively at their ballpark.

Marlins Park already has some great Cuban sandwiches and other great foods, this just adds to it. Who wants to miss the opportunity to raise their blood level from food and watching the Marlins?

I know when I get an opportunity to get down to Miami later this summer, this is one of the things I am going to have to try for sure.

If anyone goes to the ballpark the opening week and tries this, let us know what you think of the sandwich!

Division Preview: NL East | Fangraphs

The easiest division in baseball to handicap. The favorites just have to avoid implosion to punch their ticket to the postseason, with only two teams even pretending to put up a fight, and neither one looking quite ready for the postseason yet. The fight for second place could be a Wild Card battle, but more likely, there is only one playoff team here, and it’s probably going to be the one we’d all expect.
