Did anyone else ever notice? (Marlins on ESPN)

Featured Replies

When ESPN shows highlight clips of various players they show a disproportionately high number of their successes/failures to be taking place against the Marlins? I first noticed this about a year ago and ever since, without fail, there is always a clip (or more than one) of the player in question (say Roger Clemens) striking out Miguel Cabrera or getting Juan Pierre to ground into a double play.

 

I think one of the guys who puts the highlights together at ESPN is a big Marlins fan.

 

 

If you haven't noticed it before... you probably will now.

I've noticed this too, but I've never wanted to mention it.

 

It's probably just because we just notice since we are Marlins fans. If we were Rockies fans, we'd notice the same thing.

I notice it in just about every highlight for Roger Clemens, but thats about it so far. Makes it look like Clemens pitches every night at DS

I'm 99.9% sure the reason is that Pro Player, being a football stadium, allows for more "unique" camera angles, especially from behind homeplate and dead center.

i thought they just do those shots against the braves to make us look bad. oh well, to a fan's avail.

 

but seriously, i've seen them do a bunch of shots from dolphin stadium, which is probably from the camera angles they can get from the stadium compared to the other fields, where most of them are just plain. i bet there are also some aesthetics involved, including the half empty stadium (not an insult, stating facts), lighting and a few other factors we don't know about. or it could be that they don't like the marlins or braves. :confused

That and he K's Cabs every night and day?

I agree!

Yes, I have noticed this, although it seems to me like the Marlins are mostly shown in negative ways (striking out, giving up HRs).
