Me, too. The best explanation I’ve got for you is this tweet from Marlins beat writer Craig Mish: Hi Jeffrey. Yes.
The Marlins this offseason decided to experiment with a 1 game mid week 4:10 start. It is tomorrow. Naturally attendance is constantly discussed here.
This is simply a 1 game test run. — Craig Mish (@CraigMish) May 18, 2026 Lucky us, on the other end of this grand experiment. Regardless, here’s hoping the Baldwin-less Braves can even up this four-game set today after last night’s game to forget.
