It seems as if the story of the Miami Marlins baseball season is the same every year. The team enters with all the promise in the world, appears poised for a run at a wild card berth, and is derailed by one poor month. 2017 has proven to be no different.
The season this year will be defined by the month of May. If writers covering the team had a nickel for every time they had to write “the month of May” this year, they’d be able to pull their resources and buy the team. There is no getting around it though, that’s when the season fell apart.
