![]() ![]() The Marlins head back to Fenway once again in 2023, which is always a fun time and a special road trip for the Marlins fans who decide to take it. The Marlins also got absolutely screwed with a 10-day road trip in 3 different time zones, with only one off day during the entire trip. The Marlins will face a grand total of 6 AL teams in the month of June, which includes the Athletics’ first trip to Miami since 2017. Vs Oakland Athletics 6/2-6/4, vs Kansas City Royals 6/5-6/7, at Chicago White Sox 6/9-6/11, at Seattle Mariners 6/12-6/14, at Washington Nationals 6/16-6/18, vs Toronto Blue Jays 6/19-6/21, vs Pittsburgh Pirates 6/22-6/25, at Boston Red Sox 6/27-6/29, at Atlanta Braves 6/30-7/2 The Marlins and Angels played some interesting games this season and I’m looking forward to that 3-game set on Memorial Day Weekend. The first West Coast trip of the season falls in the month of May, consisting of San Francisco, Colorado, and Anaheim. Should make scouting reports a lot easier. There’s not a lot of creativity from the MLB schedule-makers here in the first two months, as the Marlins face 4 teams this month that they faced in April. ![]() Vs Atlanta Braves 5/2-5/4, at Chicago Cubs 5/5-5/7, at Arizona Diamondbacks 5/8-5/10, vs Cincinnati Reds 5/12-5/14, vs Washington Nationals 5/16-5/18, at San Francisco Giants 5/19-5/21, at Colorado Rockies 5/22-5/25, at Los Angeles Angels 5/26-5/28, vs San Diego Padres 5/30-6/1 This will be the first time since 2019 that the Twins will come to Miami and that the Marlins will travel to Cleveland. That’s also the third straight year the Marlins will face the Giants in the first month of the season, which is a fun pattern. The Marlins also get half of their Mets series out of the way in the first week of the season, and they won’t face each other again until September. That’s another scheduled Opening Day in Miami (20 Opening Days were originally scheduled to be in Miami, but the pandemic and the lockout, respectively, canceled those home games). That’s an action-packed first month of the season. Here’s a month-by-month breakdown of who the Marlins play, when they play, where they will play, and some of my thoughts about specific matchups. As an out-of-town Marlins fan, it gives me more opportunities to see the Marlins without having to get on an airplane. How many Minnesota Twins fans have seen their team play in Miami before? Not many. The other reason is for fans to travel and see their team more often. Teams in weaker divisions won’t be able to inflate their records to the same extent by beating up on nearby opponents. Why would MLB choose to do this now? Well, there are two solid reasons behind it, with the main one being the Wild Card race. The Marlins will host full series against each of those teams and travel to their stadiums as well. However, games against NL Central and NL West teams have stayed the same. Division games had to be sacrificed for this to work-the usual 19 games that the Marlins typically play against each division rival have been cut down to just 13 games. Every team now plays series against each other, as the Marlins will get to see all 15 AL teams in the same season. Interleague play is being expanded for the 2023 season. Those will be earlier than they were this season-typically 4:10 p.m.-following feedback that the team has received from fans. The entirety of the National League playoffs will be televised by TBS as noted above in the tweet.Most home game start times for the Marlins will look familiar except for Saturdays. NLCS Game 1: Saturday, October 14th - HomeĪfter that, it’s the World Series, which starts October 24th and wraps up on November 1st, if necessary. The National League’s Division Series is set to start on October 6th.Ĭontrary to what you might have been told as fans of baseball in the nation’s capital, they do keep playing after the NLDS, and here’s the schedule for what Baltimore Orioles fans tell me is called the National League Championship Series or NLCS, which is set to begin on October 14th: 2017 Postseason begins 10/3 with AL WC Game on followed by 10/4 NL WC Game on 113th WS starts 10/24 on /WSaS7znZUv- MLB Communications August 8, 2017 ![]()
