Sabemetrics- There’s An App For That

Marlins Park fans have been entreated since it opened to avail themselves of all the latest apps to “check in” at the park, or order up Taste of Miami treats right to their seat. According to Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald, it looks as if the team is going in the same direction. Only instead of ordering up medianoches, Marlins players in 2016 will be ordering up the latest videos and scouting reports on the opposition, via their very own new dugout technology. Check it out.

Rain, Rain…Rotation Delay

While Marlins starter Adam Conley technically allowed the fewest runs in three tries so far this year, it was David Phelps who earned the win yesterday due to Mother Nature cutting Conley’s day short after just one inning of work. As a result, Miami has some interesting options when the rotation sets up next week, and there are multiple names that could benefit. Worth a look, especially if setting those fantasy lineups.

Road Warriors…They Were Not

Last season, saying the Marlins had some issues on the road would be putting it kindly. The Herald’s Andre Fernandez makes it clear that the team is determined to reverse that trend in 2016. And so far so good after Thursday’s victory- keep it rolling Fish.
