The first
@Marlins
win of the season came in 17 innings, on a night when families of victims and survivors of the Parkland shooting threw out the first pitches. 17 lives were lost but never forgotten

As we fly over somewhere in PA at 3:31 am…
I want to take a moment to thank the Marlins fans who stayed up late to support their team tonight, despite the suspension.
#GoMarlins
I’m so proud of the people in this picture and many others that made this picture possible.
I’m blessed to be able to witness this and put a few captions on it along the way.
They are the story of the 2020 baseball season...and there are chapters still to be written.
What a crazy ride! Hard to sum up my thoughts in 280 characters.
I’m so proud of the team & thankful they made sacrifices so we could have a season.
And I say this with certainty, this organization shouldn’t be a laughing stock anymore. They’re for real & it’s just beginning.
Good morning folks…just wanted to take a second to say thanks. A lot of people have reached out saying they miss the
@BallyMarlins
group on
@Marlins
postseason games.
It’s humbling to hear all of the kind words.
How much play did this get on the postgame shows? I’m asking honestly. I was listening in on Marlins postgame zooms and didn’t watch.
This should get as much attention as the hit by pitch.
Miggy visibly upset after the slide in the 7th inning.
For all of the die-hard
@Marlins
fans out there who remember every inning of every game...help me out.
This 4-gm series is the most important regular season series since..........
Last

show tonight. 7pE part of 30/30
@Indians
camp. Some boxes are packed for my next chapter. Walking out tonight will be sad, but the future is bright. No seriously, I’m moving to the Sunshine State…it’s bright there.

Just got home & heard my call on the Brinson grand slam…
I saw right field and for some reason said “center”.
My bad. Mistakes happen. I’m disappointed in myself because that was a huge moment for Lewis and I botched it.
Good thing is…they can’t take his slam off the board!
“IT’S A
@Marlins
WIN!!!”
Great win today. Big day for Miggy. Nice to see Urena settle down after the first. Another battle win for this group.
Back on the air tomorrow for Game 2 on
@FOXMarlins
at 7pE.
Today was a glimpse into what the
@Marlins
hope to see a lot out of Sandy Alcantara.
He was in control early, aggressive and dominant. 89 pitches for his first career complete game and shutout. He’s got as high a ceiling as anyone in the organization & had ace stuff today!
Longest current win streak in the majors belongs to the
@Marlins
...5 in a row after the come from behind win in Detroit. They go for back-to-back sweeps tomorrow on
@FOXSportsFL
at 1p.
@FOXMarlins
Roughly 19 hours of driving over 2 days…but we’re in Florida! Move-in day (minus the furniture and other big stuff) is tomorrow. Lots to still get settled, but excited to be closer to seeing the 2018
@Marlins
in Jupiter in a few days.
A truly unbelievable outpouring of support for me today. I’m doing my best to respond to all the emails, texts, tweets, smoke signals, Morse code messages. Thank you all.
@Marlins
@FOXSportsFL
A week of games to go, but I can’t believe the home schedule is done. It seemed like just yesterday we were getting ready for the 1st game of the year. Thanks to all the
@Marlins
fans who supported us. We tried to extend our passion & enthusiasm to the audience as best we could.
#Yankees
host
#Marlins
for 2 gms in April. Marlins host Yanks for 2 in August. That whole “Jeter‘s new team faces his old team” storyline is SOOOO yesterday.
This sucks.
For the players and the owners…but more importantly for the fans, who have many choices for how to allocate their earnings on entertainment options and EVERYONE else who depends on this sport for their livelihood.
Forgive me for not being more personal, but thanks to all those who well-wished and congratulated me today! A special day and, hopefully, the first of many games and Opening Days.
#JustGettinStarted
I tried to reply to all of the wonderful, supportive and welcoming tweets from today. I’m sure I missed someone. But overall, thank you all for the kind words. It’s an exciting time for me and the
@Marlins
The
@Marlins
backs have been against the wall a lot this year. Never more so than now.
Win tomorrow or this magical, frustrating, exhilarating, unpredictable ride ends.
Don Mattingly has won the 2020
@officialBBWAA
Manager of the Year Award. The first time he’s won this award.
So excited for that man. He’s been through so much and has been accountable, available and positive EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!
@Marlins
@FOXMarlins
@FOXSportsFL
Make time to come see the
@marlins
@loanDepotpark
. Homestand starts tomorrow night against the Mariners.
Miami has won 5 straight!
Can’t come…tune in to all weekend long. Friday on
@BallySports
SUN…Saturday & Sunday on
@BallySportsFL
Dilemma: I’m waiting in car line to pick up my son. But the
@Marlins
are rallying.
Do I stay here for the next 3 hours and allow cars to go around me and leave my son in school???
(Kidding...I’ve got to roll the dice and pick him up, right? 😂)
Congrats to
@MRojasOfficial
on being named
@Marlins
nominee for the
#RobertoClemente
Award. Miguel was the 1st to welcome me to the Marlins family. He’s been just as kind & giving to everyone in the South Florida community as he was to me.....when he gave me a minion costume 🤣
Quick…name 3
@Marlins
relievers!
You can’t? You should be able to.
September bullpen ranks:
1.63 ERA - 1 MLB
.174 BAA - T-1 MLB
.278 OBP - 2 MLB
.272 SLG - 1 MLB
Truly great news out of
@Marlins
land. Sounds like mgr Don Mattingly & SS
@MRojasOfficial
will have their contract extension announcements tomorrow. Both have been gracious with their time...and truly embody what this franchise is becoming in terms of heart, soul & dedication.
It’s great to see some national attention on this club. It’s well-deserved. And while this week has been a wild story, this has been brewing for a while and is primed to continue.
#305OnTheRise
Don’t tell anyone, but in the last week, the
@Marlins
have the 3rd best team ERA and best batting average against.
Starters alone have the 2nd best ERA and they’re tied for the lowest average against.
They’re at it tonight in Motown at 7p on
@FOXSportsFL
@FOXMarlins
One more thank you. Such an honor & privilege to be the one who gets to tell these stories. The first chapters are being written now. Players/staff sacrificed so we could have a season. For our crew - games are paychecks. So while we all love the game, it’s our livelihood too.
A season unlike any other, and you were with us the entire journey. Thank you,
@Marlins
viewers and fans, for riding the wave with us in 2020!
#JuntosMiami
There’s no right way to analyze wins/losses in spring. Win & “the games don’t count”, lose & it’s “this team looks flat.”
But, in a camp that has a tremendous attitude, lots of talent & competition everywhere...a 4-0 start with 4 come-from-behind wins looks good.
#Marlins
Boys and girls...we have baseball today!
@Marlins
& Braves from Atlanta at 7pE on
@FOXSportsFL
. It will be great to reunite with some of our
@FOXMarlins
family.
Just about a month into the season, there’s a lot to be excited about w/
@Marlins
. The club has a great energy, strong resolve and lots of promise. The Miami boys just won 4 of 6 vs. 2017 playoff teams.
#JustGettinStarted
As I said last week (& I’ll probably have to reiterate a week from now), I feel horrible for all of those…rather, all of us…who rely on this sport & its games for our livelihood.
From stadium workers to broadcast crews & everyone in between, hopefully, the end is near 🤞🤞🤞
A big congratulations to all the good folks
@MLBNetwork
for winning another
@sportsemmys
for MLB Tonight - Outstanding Studio Show - Daily. Honored to call that place home for 7 years.
Love it!
LH hitting OF. Multi-year. Doesn’t block young farmhands. 119 career OPS+. .565 SLG last year.
This franchise isn’t what it was a little over two years ago. 📈
Fans...I want a winner just as much as you. It makes my job exciting.
Trust their process. Believe. 👍👍👍
Heading up to Jupiter today to catch up with the boys at
@Marlins
camp.
And by that I mean
#MaskUp
, stand 200 feet away and likely not be recognized. 🤣
It’s all good, it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make so we can get a step closer to normal in baseball and the world! 😷
Not only the double play ball, but Sandy’s ball had unbelievable life on it! There’s a lot of untapped potential in that right arm
@Marlins
fans!

Every broadcaster has his own scorecard system. This is mine. Nice win last night! Pink highlighter for run scoring plays. We like pink highlighter on the
@Marlins
half of the scorecard.
I shared the FanFest stage with Lew in 2018. We were introduced together. He’s always been accountable. I respect the hell out of him and I always will. He represented the uniform and the city proudly. He was easy to pull for and I wish him the best in his next chapter.
