The Offishial Show Episode 101: Why the Marlins keep losing

It’s not the players: it’s the approach. Ely Sussman points to the Marlins’ passiveness on the first pitch, inability to pull the ball when making contact and the bullpen’s low groundball rate as the main culprits behind the club’s frustrating 1-6 start to the 2021 season.
