...Yeah. Those poor Marlins.
Even with Giancarlo Stanton and his array of home runs, the number of amazing players like Marcell Ozuna, Christian Yelich, J.T. Realmuto, Dee Gordon and Justin Bour, and a nice performance by Jose Urena when he should have, honestly, still been in the bullpen...they still couldn't pull it together.
The rotation was very spotty, with a lot of people getting injured and not being reliable, and even the rookies not giving their all in the spotlight. There was a lot of inconsistency in that area, as well as in the bullpen. Even a few positions in the lineup let the team down, and they went through a few possible shortstops and third baseman with Martin Prado and Adeiny Hechavarra gone.
The season's basically over for them, but I think that they COULD finally be able to compete with some serious modifications to the pitching staff. If they keep the sources of power in the lineup around, and just buttress them with even more...they'll be fine.
