The Miami Marlins are the only team in baseball to hand losses to JACOB MISIORWOSKI and SHOHEI OHTANI and PAUL SKENES.

@NEDUszn8 Dembele!!

@ReinoFanClub13 I would say we don’t need him. A team can always use more two-way centers if the offer is worth it.

As Mike Brown said last night, you need luck in sports. Here's where the Heat needs luck: For anyone who wants Giannis in Miami, you must hope that Portland/Milwaukee/Boston don't agree to a 3-team PURELY HYPOTHETICAL BUT LOGICAL trade that would easily trump any Miami offer and help all 3 teams.
The Celtics, hypothetically, could acquire Antetokounmpo in a three-team trade by sending Brown to Portland, which — as a result of the 2023 Damian Lillard trade — has the right to swap first-round picks with Milwaukee in 2028 and 2030 while also owning the most and least favorable 2029 first of their own, Boston and Milwaukee.
The Blazers could remove those protections and offer the Bucks a combination of young players (among Scoot Henderson, Donovan Clingan, Shaedon Sharpe and Toumani Camara) and some of their five tradeable first round picks, which includes Orlando’s unprotected 2028 first-round pick. Boston also could get one of those picks, besides landing Antetokounmpo. Heat would be helpless to prevent that, so Miami needs some luck.

Brother… you don’t try to justify one of the most boneheaded moves in Finals history.

A message to opposing baserunners

[Christina De Nicola @CDeNicola13]

Joe Mack's throw went to the legs rather than bag, proving to be the difference.

Mack becomes the 13th #MLB catcher with 10 caught stealings this season. He has done so in a much smaller sample (28 games).

The Pistons were are the most fraudulent 1st seed in the history of the NBA. 🤯

[Christina De Nicola @CDeNicola13]

Joe Mack's arm is a difference maker. We have seen it more than a handful of times already.

84 mph throw (95th percentile)
1.89 second pop time (90th percentile)

That’s exactly why he’s down there..

[dym @drillyamama]

Not something you see everyday. Ryan Gusto gets the swinging third strike. Agustin Ramirez does a nice job blocking it but then throws the ball into RF allowing a lead off dropped third strike triple

[Steven Melendez @TotalRecaps]

The coach let him go!!! Wtf!!!

That’s easily a fireable call. He was out by a mile in a game we’re down 3-0.

I’m done…

[Steven Melendez @TotalRecaps]

What in the world did I just watch on that Stowers double….

I need answers. Was it Hicks going for it? Is 3rd base coach, Blake Lalli, blind??

What happened?!?

[Steven Melendez @TotalRecaps]

Marlins batters: 11 K/1 BB

Nationals batters: 6 K/6 BB

The game in a nutshell…

WHY MUST WE SUFFER!?!

[Craig Mish @CraigMish]

Robby Snelling starts Friday for the Marlins.

[Craig Mish @CraigMish]

As @Ken_Rosenthal reported the Marlins have DFA’d Pitcher Chris Paddack. A quick exit for him after being signed this offseason. Marlins feel they have better starting options and will go with them immediately.

[Steven Melendez @TotalRecaps]

I can’t understand how a new regime takes over a franchise that has been as lost and disorganized as the Dolphins have been, they have a chance to get the steal of the draft, the consensus no.1 talent in the draft and they decide to trade back one spot for a tackle..

Cooked…

[𝙃𝙀𝘼𝙏 𝙉𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 @HeatvsHaters]

Dragic is recruiting Giannis to Miami 😭🔥

Dragic: “you need warm climate, man.”

Giannis: “Hey, Miami's not a bad place, man. Beautiful, beautiful city, beautiful city. Beautiful city, believe it or not, believe it or not.”
