How Does a Fish Hit?

There’s all sorts of strange things you can drag up from the deep. Fish with more fangs than Kyle Schwarber has dingers, jellyfish that glow like neon signs, squid with arms that can stretch halfway from home plate to first. But few denizens of the deep are quite as odd as the 2023 Miami Marlins.

The Marlins are one of the few teams in history to make the postseason with a negative run differential; in fact, their -57 run differential is the worst that any playoff team has ever had. Of course, you might expect an increase in teams with negative run differentials playing into October, due to the added wiggle room the expanded postseason offers.
