Miami Marlins Fish Flash 4/27

Morning Marlin Maniacs, and looking at the clock, I should probably clarify that for Marlin Maniac purposes, it’s morning until I finish my first cup of coffee.  But a Happy Hump Day to you nonetheless, and was there another day worth getting through faster? A weekend of Heat playoff action, the NFL draft, a Jose Day start tomorrow night…so many good things.

Then, of course, there’s this nice little string of wins the Marlins have going for themselves.  You can just here the timeless words of former Indians manager Lou Brown now, that must have been uttered at some point following Monday’s victory.

Diving into our Fish Flash though, we take you through the latest Marlins news, be it roster moves, historic moments, or prospect performances. Time to dive in.

Speaking of a Cup of Coffee, Look Who’s Back  

Something had to give when Martin Prado was ready to be reinstated from the paternity list.  But chances are most of you would not have pegged a starting pitcher as the one catching the next flight to New Orleans.  Exit Jarred Cosart, enter Justin Nicolino.  The Miami Herald’s Andre Fernandez has the story.

Ichiro Continues To Climb The Chart  

As Joe Frisaro recounts in the above link, the Miami Marlins’ Ichiro Suzuki continued his assault on history last night.  A fair amount of social media debate has ensued over exactly where he stands on the all time list- do we say 32nd or 33rd if he’s tied for 32nd? I know where I stand, but I’ll give Mr. Frisaro the benefit of the doubt.  Hopefully Ichiro can make things simpler in the next couple days.

Stanton Not Only Slugger On A Homer Streak
