Una enorme botarga de cereal fue la pesadilla de los fans de Marlins y Mets

¿Por qué había una enorme botarga de la mascota de una barrita de canela (Cinnamon Toast Crunch) detrás del home del juego del martes por la noche entre los Miami Marlins y los New York Mets?

O sea, lo entendemos, es alguna especie de promoción para el cereal de desayuno. Pero, ¿no resulta una gran distracción para el pitcher tener esa cosa gigante viendo hasta su alma?

Al menos para los espectadores ese fue el caso y se volvió en una pesadilla para muchos fans que estaban viendo el juego. Claro, también se volvió en un meme en redes sociales cuando el video de la botarga se hizo viral:

Traducción: Hay un trozo de Cinnamon Toast Crunch llamando bolas y strikes detrás del plato durante el juego Mets-Marlins esta noche.

Traducción: Terapeuta: El cereal de canela gigante no es real. No puede lastimarte.
-El cereal de canela gigante:

Y un par de memes:

Traducción: los jugadores de los Mets voltenado en el home para encontrarse con un cereal de canela gigante.

Y cantó algunos strikes de los Mets:

Traducción: Reemplacen a Angel Hernández con el cereal de canela gigante (abanicando un strike).

Jesús Aguilar hilariously got caught stealing signs against the Diamondbacks

Swiper no swiping.

Marlin’s first baseman Jesús Aguilar is really doing his best to become Major League Baseball’s master thief. And, honestly, it’s quite hilarious.

Last month he got caught on camera swiping a card of some sort from out of card out of Dom Smith’s back pocket. It was such an incredibly smooth move. He just slyly slid over and swiped it.

On Thursday, he got caught again. Not just by the camera this time, though.

He lifted up the armband of Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly while he was on base to get a quick look at some of their signals. It was absolutely comical.

Kelly was a bit annoyed but it’s Aguilar’s face after he’s caught that just drives home the laugh.

This is absolutely hilarious. It’s all in good fun, too. He’s not actually stealing signs — he’s just messing with Kelly.

This face, y’all.

Just classic. The internet remembered his swipe on Smith, too.

This is just incredible. What a run by Aguilar. Watch out, baseball. We’ve got a real master thief on our hands.

Jesus Aguilar swiped a mysterious object out of Dom Smith’s back pocket at first base

Jesus Aguilar really pickpocketed Dom Smith.

Yes, you read that correctly. This is a thing that happened. No idea why it happened, but it definitely looks like it happened.

Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar looked like he slyly swiped something out of Dom Smith’s back pocket on Thursday when the Marlins were matched up with the Mets.

It looked like he took some sort of card from out of Smith’s back pocket. We have no idea what is on the card or what it’s even there for. All we know is that it appears that, uh, well, it’s Aguilar’s now.

This is absolutely hilarious. Look at how smoothly he comes by and pulls the card out.

Smith doesn’t even notice! Aguilar could be the next Bond or something with smooth moves like that.

People had so many jokes including puns about…getting caught stealing.

Hopefully, it’s not anything important like a scouting report or anything. Though, I’m very uncertain of why anyone would carry a scouting report around on the field, anyway.

Hopefully, someone asks Aguilar about the incident and we get some sort of clarity.

Un paso por la equidad: Los Marlins son el primer equipo de beis con una mujer al mando

Kim Ng se ha convertido en la primera mujer en tener el título de general manager en la MLB con los Marlins.

Después de entregar 30 años de su carrera al beisbol, Kim Ng se ha convertido en la primera mujer en tener el título de general manager en la MLB.

Ng ha obtenido este título en los Miami Marlins. Previo al anuncio se había desempeñado como Senior VP de Operaciones para la MLB, así como asistente de general manager para los LA Dodgers y los NY Yankees.

“Entré a la MLB como becaria, después de décadas de determinación, es un honor para mi carrera liderar los Miami Marlins como su próxima general manager”, dijo Ng en un comunicado.

Este sin duda es un paso más para la apertura a mujeres profesionales en los deportes.

Bien hecho Kim Ng, y bien hecho Marlins.

LOOK: Miami Marlins give Alabama football a funny shout out

The Miami Marlins took to twitter to celebrate having the best winning percentage in baseball, and they had a funny way of including Alabama

There’s no denying that Alabama is the best of the best in college football, and has been since Nick Saban’s arrival in Tuscaloosa.

When Alabama had their back to back national championship seasons in 2011 and 2012, the phrase “We Want Bama,” became a phrase other college football teams used to basically say, “We want to play Bama to prove we are better than them.”

Ironically though, that rarely happened.

Just ask Auburn, Notre Dame, and LSU.. just to name a few.

But after awhile, other sports team used the phrase, even in the NFL, NHL, and the MLB.

The Miami Marlins took to twitter to celebrate now having the best winning percentage in baseball, and they had a funny way of including Alabama.

Two things make even better.

Former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa now plays for the Miami Dolphins. If the Dolphins create the momentum this season, don’t be surprised if you see a similar sign in the stands.

And secondly, the Marlins have former Alabama pitcher Wade LeBlanc who had his third start on Thursday night.

All in all, this is a phrase I hope never gets old and goes away.

It’s funny, witty, and brings back so many memories.

Memories of Alabama winning back to back national titles, and becoming the best college football team in the nation.

And let’s be honest, everyone still wants Bama.

5 preguntas sobre el futuro de la MLB después del brote de COVID de los Marlins

¿Estamos por ver cancelada la temporada de la MLB después de solo una semana de acción?

Es una pregunta legítima después de lo que ha sucedido con los Miami Marlins. Y es algo que el comisionado Rob Manfred debe de considerar.

El domingo, múltiples reportes indicaron que cuatro jugadores de los Marlins dieton positivo en COVID-19. Aún así el equipo jugó contra los Philadelphia Phillies como visitantes, con la fecha de regreso para que los Marlins jugaran contra los Baltimore Orioles el martes.

Pero, el lunes por la mañana los Marlins que —según Bob Nightengale de USA TODAY Sports’— “hasta 12” miembros del equipo (jugadores y coaches) dieron positivo, y el juego del martes se pospuso:

Claro, esto es un desastre enorme, una pesadilla de escenario para la liga. Hagamos algunas otras preguntas que requieren respuesta:

1. ¿Qué hacen los Marlins ahora?

Aún están en Philadelphia. ¿Cuánto tiempo se quedarán ahí? ¿Qué hará la MLB acerca de sus futuros juegos? Este tuit por un epidemólogo es una respuesta posible:

Lo que nos lleva a…

2. ¿Pueden los Marlins tomar a sus jugadores en Jupiter para participar en el equipo de la MLB?

Esto fue algo que Jeff Passan de ESPN se preguntó ya antes de que saliera la noticia del brote:

Si los Marlins cancelan el equivalente a una semana de juegos, la temporada se acabó para todos. No puedes tener un 2020 completo si no todos los equipos juegas todos su partidos, especialmente en un año donde la liga ya apachurró 60 juegos en 66 días después de semanas de peleas sobre salarios prorreteados y reglas. No hay margen de error aquí.

3. ¿Qué hay de los Phillies y de los que equipos que jugarían contra ellos después?

El juego contra los Yankees fue pospuesto.

4. ¿Qué hay de los demás equipos en la liga?

Los Reds también podrían tener serios problemas. Matt Davidson dio positivo, y Mike Moustakas y Nick Senzel se sintieron enfermos el domingo, mientras que Moustakes salió herido.

5. ¿Debió la MLB cancelar el juego del domingo entre Marlins y Phillies?

Absolutamente.

Creo que entienden el punto. Después de solo unos días de temporada regular, el 2020 vuelve a estar en la cuerda floja

La MLB pospone encuentro de Yankees vs Phillies y Marlins vs Orioles por brote de coronavirus

Las ligas están empeñadas en regresar el deporte a las canchas. Sin embargo, parece que la pandemia de coronavirus tiene otros planes. En Méxio, la Liga MX de futbol se ha mantenido firme en seguir adelante con su torneo de Apertura 2020 aún cuando …

Las ligas están empeñadas en regresar el deporte a las canchas. Sin embargo, parece que la pandemia de coronavirus tiene otros planes. En Méxio, la Liga MX de futbol se ha mantenido firme en seguir adelante con su torneo de Apertura 2020 aún cuando podría parecer una irresponsabilidad ante el panorama actual.

En Estados Unidos, el país mayormente afectado por la COVID-19, la MLB regresó la semana pasada con una breve temporada de 60 juegos. Pero, parece que, aún con las medidas de prevensión de la liga, el coronavirus ha logrado penetrar la organización.

Después de que los Miami Marlins reportaran 14 casos positivos entre sus filas, la MLB decidió cancelar el juego inaugural entre Marlins vs Orioles.

Como resultado, los Yankees han pospuesto su juego contra Phillies ya que el equipo neoyorkino teme exponer a sus jugadores viajando al mismo estadio donde los Marlins jugaron por última vez.

El equipo de Miami incluso ha decidido quedarse en Philadelphia, al menos hasta terminar las pruebas de COVID-19 en el equipo y confirmar cuántos más podrían dar positivo.

Marlins at Phillies: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at Friday at 8:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Phillies 4, Marlins 3

Moneyline (ML)

The MARLINS (+165) come into this game as underdogs, but stand a decent chance of pulling this one out with Alcantara on the mound. He thrived down the stretch in 2019, with a 2.78 ERA across his final 11 starts. A price of -189 on the Phillies is a little steep, even in their home park.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Marlins to win the game will turn a profit of $16.50 if they prevail.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

It’s probably best to AVOID this one altogether. The Marlins are a good bet to keep this one close, but taking the Moneyline, rather than +1.5 (-134), is probably the way to go. Meanwhile, the Phillies check in at -1.5 (+110), but look elsewhere for value.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 9 (-110) is the side to take here. This is a matchup of two strong pitchers, and one pretty weak offense in Miami. Both starters have fared well in the past against the team they’ll be facing today, and should continue that trend. Look for this game to be a rather low-scoring affair.
