Podcast: Marlins had a May to forget. What went wrong and how long do they have to fix it?
The Miami Marlins, by wins and losses, were great in April. They went 12-8 and were on the upward trajectory the team had preached it needed this season.
But the Miami Marlins, by wins and losses, have not been great in May. They are 7-19 entering Tuesday, the final day of the month. They are guaranteed to have the least amount of wins in the league this month, with no other team having fewer than nine victories in May.
So what happened? How did this team fall so hard, so fast? And how much time do they have to fix it before decisions need to be made about the direction the club decides to take for this season?
Miami Herald Marlins beat writer Jordan McPherson and deputy sports editor Andre Fernandez discuss in the latest episode of Fish Bytes.
They also dive into how some of the Marlins’ top prospects fared this month before going into a side discussion on minor-league team nicknames.
