Miami Marlins have already come out and said that isn't real.

They also said the logo wasn't real.

This Solano cat looks pretty cool so far.

If they can add consistent winning, this team is gonna be so hated. Its gonna be great.

Giancarlo is out another week.

Giancarlo Stanton will be sidelined for at least another week after being diagnosed with inflammation in his left knee.
Stanton had been out with a wrist ailment, but the knee soreness cropped up recently and has pushed back his timetable. Neither malady is considered serious, but he's received just nine at-bats so far this spring and is running out of time to get more. Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said he'd like all of his regulars to go about 10 days prior to Opening Day, which would be March 24. Stanton said he's "working towards" being ready at that time.

Hanley just hit another HR. 2-run HR. Marlins hadn't scored in the last 18 innings of spring training before that.

Saving them for the opening night HR celebration.

Big Z! 7 K in 4 innings today. 16 K in 9 1/3 innings this spring.

Hoping that translates into the regular season.
