OTD in 2016 - Jose Fernandez was killed in a boating accident.

He survived 3 attempts to defect from Cuba, saved his mom from drowning, and was expecting father. He’s missed greatly

[Louis Addeo-Weiss @addeo_louis00]

It's already been 10 years...

I woke up to a Bleacher Report notification that morning. At first glance, I read "Mariners prospect José Fernández dead at 24," telling myself, "Not our José, right?

Alas, it was him, and I've never watched the Marlins the same since.

[Ryan DiPentima @Ryan_DiPentima]

So the Miami Marlins could not possibly allow Eury Perez to throw AT MOST two more innings when he had a perfect game because god forbid he might get hurt... but they just threw him as a reliever in between starts in a completely meaningless game. Fucking joke.

@ethanbudowsky Also the Marlins won 6-3

[The Fish & WHIP's Podcast @FishnWhips]

@ethanbudowsky No love for GMJ?

[Bartolo Colón @BColon40]

Probably (definitely) this. #LGM

[College Football 24/7 @CFB247]

2001 Miami had Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, and Frank Gore all in the same backfield 😳

[Smedley Butler @Smedleybutler03]

@CraigMish Done watching for Season. Scarecrow takes out our SP all the time for no reason! Gibson and Zuber once again blow the lead and game. So sick of this crap management.

[The Fish & WHIP's Podcast @FishnWhips]

Marlins fans know this too well.

[Matt Gelb @MattGelb]

Big development: Phillies are putting Jesús Luzardo on the IL. He was not feeling as well as they expected today. The rest is very much unsure. They are not ruling him out for potential postseason start, Don Mattingly said.

[Isaac Azout @IsaacAzout]

At Babcock Park as the #Marlins cut the ribbon to their new RBI Youth Academy in Hialeah.

Commissioner Rob Manfred, Owner Bruce Sherman and President Caroline O’Connor are all here.

As are the Mayors of Hialeah and Miami-Dade

[That Guy Rocked @ThatGuyRocked]

Dee Gordon stepped into the box wearing José Fernández’s No. 16, just 24 hours after his teammate and close friend had passed away.

Then he did something nobody will ever forget.

Gordon hit his first home run of the 2016 season — and broke down in tears after rounding the bases.

That wasn’t just a home run.

That was grief, love and baseball all wrapped into one unforgettable moment. 💙

[The Fish & WHIP's Podcast @FishnWhips]

@LeftfieldProf On field decisions have mostly been atrocious. I would give it a D.

[Peter Pratt 🍷 @MiamiMarlins_UK]

Marlins traded ‘surplus’ talent to the Rays, in Victor Mesa Jr and Liam Hicks.

Rays are good. Marlins are not.

Makes you wonder

[Isaac Azout @IsaacAzout]

“On the day of the D-Train, the Gus Bus has arrived!” - Tommy Hutton.

Pls don’t retire

[Will Manso @WillManso]

For those that weren’t around to experience D-Train’s arrival in Miami and the must-see he was every start, man, what a time! His combination of energy, ability and personality were one of a kind. Well deserved spot in Marlins history forever.

[Nick Alvarez @NicksCardTakes]

A Marlins payroll scandal or front office scandal could feed generations.

[The Fish & WHIP's Podcast @FishnWhips]

I really hope they let T Hut go off with 1 Final Rant on his last broadcast. Call out the entire organization.

[Fish On First @FishOnFirst]

"If he's not hurt, I don't understand it. I'll be perfectly honest."

Tommy Hutton irked to see Tyler Phillips yanked in the 4th inning. He had retired 7 of the last 8 batters he faced and only threw 68 pitches.

Marlins will lean on their slumping bullpen to cover 5.1 IP...

[The Fish & WHIP's Podcast @FishnWhips]

@UpOneOctave You think they're going to spend that much? Keep dreaming

[The Fish & WHIP's Podcast @FishnWhips]

The Miami Marlins had a 52-45 record going into the All Star Break, a .536 winning percentage. Since the ASB, they are an abysmal 20-30, with a .400 winning percentage. A terrible second half with mismanagement from Front Office leaders on down. Something needs to change.

[Isaac Azout @IsaacAzout]

As yikes as they come.

Tough to see such a promising season end so catastrophically.

May not even reach 80 wins after sitting in a wild card spot less than a month ago.

An incomplete team through and through, unfortunately.
