Kinks in the Armor

After an Amazing start to the season, the Marlins have now lost three in a row.

Reason to worry?

The Marlins were swept by the Pirates, including a 7-0 loss in which the Marlins usually hot bats could only get two hits. The Pirates, who were at just .500 when they entered the series.

The last two games in the series were much closer, already proving the Marlins can put up a fight when they need to but clearly not quite enough.

The Marlins now have to face Philadelphia to show just how the young team can face up to their first real adversity of the season.

Hopefully, the beggining of the season was not a fluke and the Marlins can prove to be real contenders.

The city really needs it, especially since the Heat’s playoff appearance is nothing more than Wade continuing to vie for an MVP spot. Soon basketball will be gone and we’ll need the Marlins to pull us through to football season.
