The Miami Marlins are 0-4 after their first series of the season against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and centerfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. believes the Marlins’ open roof contributed to the early struggles.
Per ESPN, Chisholm said the Marlins struggled against the Pirates’ relief pitchers because they weren’t used to playing under the open roof at LoanDepot Park.
“That we couldn’t see,” Chisholm said. “That’s all. I feel like the shadows were really — we’re not used to playing in shadows. We normally play inside every day.
“So, when we get a shadow for three of the four games at home for the first time of the season, it’s kind of hard to adjust to. You know, we’re used to the roof being closed and being able to see every at-bat. It’s kind of tough to see when it’s black out there and you’re facing a guy throwing 101 [mph], you know?”
The Pirates outscored Miami 31-17 in the series and Chisholm had just two hits in 14 at-bats, though he did have a grand slam and the Marlins’ first home run of the season.
ESPN noted that the Marlins open the roof far less than most MLB teams due to Miami’s unpredictable weather throughout the season. In 2021 and 2022, the Marlins played under an open roof just five times.
Miami will need to adjust to playing outside soon, and it will have the chance to get acclimated this week as the Marlins take on the Los Angeles Angels in a three-game home series.
