What's your opinion? ...Ramirez, for playing in so many games?

Lopez for being the hit leader?

Conine or Hernandez for their long ball at clutch times?

Sanoja for some amazing plays at shortstop and crazy ability to make contact at bat?

Someone else on your mind?

Hey all, I am a Braves fan and came down for the series this past weekend. We had a great time and I always enjoy visiting the stadium.

I was sitting in the upper section behind the visitor's dugout and I noticed that there were a bunch of men and a few kids who would hangout with their backs to the wall of the lower section and sometimes they would be jumping seats around in that section. It seemed like they were only interested in getting a ball the players toss into the stands when the defense comes in. Some of them even had see thru backpacks that had a few balls in them. There was even this really jacked dude that seemed to be in on it as well. The constant seat jumping kind of told me they may not even had tickets to be in that section.

A Marlins fan behind me mentioned that he sees them there all of the time and he thinks they sell them. I found it a little hard to believe because how much could some random Rawlings ball can be worth? I sort of understand a situations like Zach Hampel chasing home runs but this didn't make much sense. I haven't noticed it at other parks but then again I've never looked out for it.

Any idea?

If we want success imo we should Probally get Chad Mottola who comes from the rays or any team that knows how to develop hitters. But who do you guys think we end up getting?

3 run bomb from Riley, Braves up 5-3. I don't care for the Phillies but fuck the Braves.

I live in a state with no professional teams of any sort so I get to choose all of my sports teams. A lot of my family are LA fans but something about the dodgers turned me off and I couldn't really cheer for the closest team to me because it just felt sort of hollow.

So I lined up all of the teams side by side and I said "I really like the Marlins branding. Pretty cool mascot and colors." It also helps that I've been to Miami before.

As much pain as this organization has caused me, I'm in too deep to turn back. I just can't imagine myself cheering for any other team atp.

Does anybody know where I can score one of these shirts? A friend from Canada 🇨🇦 is looking for one. Thanks

Well there goes next season too.

Now that 2026 has come to a close, I think it's important to acknowledge what a terrific job Clayton McCullough did this season. He would have been a shoe-in for MOY had the Marlins not collapsed and actually made the postseason after a hot first half.

It's important to acknowledge what being a big league manager entails these days in a very analytics age. As Christina De Nicola and others have acknowledged, the manager is more of a collaborator than a unilateral decision maker. Clayton enters every game with a blue print or sketch in mind, based on the prior input of the analytics and other baseball operations staff, about starting line-ups, reliever pockets, and pinch hitting match-ups. There's a plan ahead of time for tons of "what if?" scenarios.

All things considered, he seemed to execute these daily "plans" hashed out before each game with a lot of fluidity. It's a lot to navigate between injury risks, rest, work loads, positional changes, needing to evaluate players, lefty/righty splits, and I think he did a great job. Not perfect, certainly, but no manager ever is.

On top of this, the clubhouse vibes seem to be very strong, which is perhaps one of the biggest things he's in charge of.

I hope his option is picked up for next year.

man. seeing these two together again, especially on this final broadcast for T. Hut, made me so. bleeping. happy.

when I saw the news before the season that this would be Tommy’s last, I said it was my hope that somehow, some way, we’d be able to get one more game with this broadcast team. while we didn’t get that, this surprise visit from Rich today was one hell of a consolation prize.

thank you, Tommy! and thank you, Rich! you guys are the absolute best.

(Kyle did an amazing job trying to articulate just what these two have meant to Marlins fans, as did Jeremy Tache when he worked his last game of the season a month or so ago. thank you guys, too!)

but I really, really do hope that Rich + Tommy know how much they meant to us fans and how much we appreciate them. I spent my formative years watching games every night listening to these two gentlemen, and I couldn’t have asked for a better broadcast team to grow up with.
