But I will tell you this: for all of the negative energy that has rained down on the Miami Marlins since the start of Spring Training, there are some numbers that just don’t lie. With half of the current campaign remaining, in a season in which the team’s record really is irrelevant, they might just rival the 77 wins posted by last year’s squad.
Do I think they will get there? No. But will finishing 2018 in the vicinity of last season’s power-packed but pitching-challenged roster is possible. Could that make Miami Marlins fans realize that there might be a bright future for an organization under new management?
