Fish Bites: Quarantining with the Fish Mar 23, 2020

Show notes

Entering what should have been MLB Opening Week, Marlins baseball is still nowhere in sight. Ely looks at how several veteran players on the team historically perform in March/April/May of a typical season (2:35), and how to adjust expectations for them considering that the 2020 season won't include those months. On Twitter and Instagram, Fish Stripes asked which Marlins players—past or present—would make the best (and worst) quarantine partners (20:50). We read many of your responses on air. Stick around for Ely's picks at the 36:30 mark!

Show notes

More so than at any other time in recent memory, the Marlins organization is loaded with depth and high-end talent. But for these young players to make it to The Show and stick there, they must further develop their skill sets, succeed on the field, and then adjust again while ascending the minor league ladder. It’s an ongoing battle with opposing teams, your own teammates and your own body and mind. Every day is a competition for Marlins prospects, all part of the process of...Earning Their Stripes!
