The Miami Marlins, a team that has lived at the bottom and in the shadows, a team that could have seemed laughable compared to past squads, now seems to have found the right footing in this season of mishaps. This team has surpassed expectations and eradicated uncertainty by winning more games than expected in the past few months. Many have said that they could never do well, but they have found a way to be the second place team in the division.
No one expected much from this team after most of the active roster tested positive for COVID-19 just a few months ago. No one expected that the team would be able to win more than half their games so far. Lots of people may say that the Marlins still have no chance at making a splash in the postseason, but they are looking like a big threat. If the Marlins can continue this streak of positive movement in the charts, they could become one of the top five teams in the national league.
The Miami Marlins are underrated underdogs that, no matter how well they do, never seem to be taken seriously enough to be given the label of “threatening.” Major League Baseball does not give this team credit, especially after deciding to continue the season without them when they had their COVID-19 outbreak. However, they are gathering more attention as the team continues to give fans a sense of confidence they have not had in past seasons. It is clear that, even though there aren’t fans in the stands, fans have not stopped cheering for this team, which hopes to gain some favor as the season progresses. The Miami Marlins are a team to watch and I am not just saying that because I’ve grown up watching them. I am saying this because they deserve the attention. Hopefully, these underdogs can find themselves on top with the recognition a team with their current status should have.
