There’s no doubt about it: the Miami Marlins 2020 season has been a roller coaster. Not a smooth, family-friendly one like those you find at Magic Kingdom, but more like one of those haunting, physics-defying monsters you swear you’d never ride. After almost 10 months without baseball, they started the season at a high point, defeating the Phillies during a 3-game series in Philadelphia. That was immediately followed by an extreme low with the temporary loss of 18 players due to COVID-19 (plus the loss of their starting 2B who opted out of the season). Unexpectedly, however, the new team that they hastily assembled is not only competitive but actually led the widely feared NL East division entering play on Monday.
