"The Marlins were lucky to win a game this weekend in a series defined by excessive walks and sloppy play. There's been enough of a career sample size for most of the perpetrators to suggest that won't be a regular thing going forward."
"At least one of those victories could easily have been a loss, and quality of competition definitely helped. You've got to beat the team on the field in front of you, no question."
"The Miami Marlins are a scrappy bunch that will be in every game to the last out. Every fifth game, Sandy Alcantara will be a threat to go the distance."
"Everything that was suspected to be true of the Marlins heading into the season remains true today. Which is perfectly fine, and to be expected less than two weeks into the campaign."
The Miami Marlins have shown they are better than their recent performance in New York, where they struggled with walks and sloppy play. Their record against weaker teams like the Rockies and White Sox may be misleading. The Marlins are competitive and will fight until the last out, with standout players like Sandy Alcantara and Xavier Edwards. However, the small sample size of the season means conclusions about the team's true capabilities are still uncertain.
