As a city, Miami has had a lot going on in the last few weeks. Two of the city’s other teams have made it into their respective finals. Meanwhile, the Marlins have done surprisingly well despite playing in a tough division that has made many star-powered moves. Miami is currently 2nd in the NL East, two games behind Atlanta. They are also two games up on the 3rd place Mets. The Marlins are a good team that might make the postseason.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arraez’s Quest For\u00a0 .400<\/b><\/h3>\n

Certain things that only happen once in a generation generally get massive attention. <\/span><\/b>Luis Arraez<\/a><\/b> is currently hitting .401 in June. The last time a player hit .400 for a season was <\/span><\/b>Ted Williams<\/a><\/b> in 1941. Comparing the two hitters isn\u2019t entirely fair. Arraez is a complete contact hitter with 17 extra-base hits, and 15 are doubles. Williams had 37 home runs when he hit .400 with 33 doubles.<\/span><\/p>\n
