Marlins Surge and Struggles | MLB News
About this episode
The episode discusses the Miami Marlins' performance halfway through the season, highlighting key players and their struggles.
The Marlins are halfway through the season and it’s a tale of two halves — Otto Lopez is crushing it as the team’s hottest hitter, earning All-Star honors and on pace for career-best stats, while Liam Hicks continues to surprise with his power and aggression, leading the team in hits and homers. But not all is rosy — Pete Fairbanks is struggling mightily as the closer, posting a career-worst ERA and surrendering more homers than all of last season. Meanwhile, Griffin Conine is heating up, climbing his batting average and adding power, showing promise for a breakout second half. The Marlins’ fate hinges on whether these trends hold — and if they can fix their biggest weakness before the playoffs.
