Is it the time to call out Marlins fans?

Fans have not supported the Miami Marlins this season, and some may say they don’t have a reason to.

Little by little, those excuses are falling off the table.

The Miami Marlins just swept the Philadelphia Phillies at their place to get their twentieth win in the last thirty five games.

Jordan Yamamoto had another great performance, even though he walked the first three batters he faced, coming up with a great comeback and keeping his ERA under 1.00 (0.95) in his first three outings.

For some, it is the right time to get to Marlins Park and support the team, now that they’re not just playing better baseball, but also sweeping playoff contenders with a young core group.

I’ve never done this before, but it’s time I get some things off my chest that need to be said. So here we go. My first real thread…

I am very excited with what we’re seeing this season, with young arms shining and a couple of bats waking up and supporting their pitchers to get wins.

After all, that 10-35 start had us all thinking this could be a negative record-setting season.

Good morning.

The Marlins currently have one of the best rotations in baseball.

Not one of the best future rotations.

One of the best rotations.

The Marlins are doing their best to put a competitive team on the field and the latest moves show they’re trying to win some games right now too.

However, I would not go too far and call Marlins fans out yet.

Even though the Marlins have had a positive month of June so far, and they’re winning in a much more consistent basis, they’re sitting with the worst record of the National League.

Three games behind the Giants, six games behind the Pirates, Reds and Mets and six and a half from the Nationals, their next rival at Marlins Park starting on Tuesday.

The Marlins are playing much better, but I still think we can’t just expect the fans to show up right away just because of that.

They have the third best ERA among starters in the majors, and that’s a great start of a rebuilding of a team.

Still, I am not sure Marlins Park will start filling up more just because of that.

On Tuesday Marlins fans will have a great opportunity to see one of the or the best pitcher in baseball in Max Scherzer, facing one of the best pitchers in the Marlins system in Zac Gallen for the first time.

Will the fans come to support the Marlins’ rookie?

I think it’s not that easy. Marlins fans have suffered different rebuildings and have never been a consistent fan base during regular season games here in Miami.

Even when the team had Stanton, Yelich, Ozuna, Realmuto, Gordon and José Fernández, the park didn’t fill up.

Nowadays, there’s just not a real link between the team and the community. That takes time to build, and the Marlins are in the right track.

But it’s too early to call out Marlins fans…

Cinco Razones Podcast will be recording their first episode in English to talk about the Marlins on Thursday at Marlins Park, so if you want to see them, and support the team, know they (Ricardo, Leandro, Alejandro, Dutch, and Tony) will be there this week.
