Sandy Alcantara wants to know where all the Marlins fans are!

1. This is of your own making. You should have built that stadium in Broward county Mr. Samson.

2. Players should be allowed to tell fans to come to the games for the lack of attendance

3. Florida has unequivocally told us it does not want baseball. For the love of baseball let's finally listen and give this experiment up.

4. What you failed to mention is that it was a 1:10 PM first pitch, on a Wednesday. They can’t expect 15-20k attendance when people are at work and kids should be in school. It is hard enough to get Miami fans to show up for games in the evenings and the weekends, much less than mid-week afternoon game – unless, of course, the opponent is a team from New York or Philly, which is a large percentage of Miami residents.

5. that is my favorite sports sound byte of 2026 so far. Might be the best MLB has all year. "fans not here. but we love them"

6. David, you and Jeffrey contributed SIGNIFICANTLY to this problem with your LIES and strategies designed soley to enrich yourselves at the expense of the residents of Miami-Dade county and future generations. My abuelita is still waiting for the $2,000 you owe her.

7. I was there. He is right. I agree with him. I have been cheering for the fish since their birth. Thick and thin.

8. They don't have a "star" player…………

9. It would be nice if David took accountability for the decades of cynicism that prevented the Marlins from building a fan base. Their brand is that they're not trying. They play in a top 10 market in the U.S. and act like they're in the backwoods of Alabama.

10. way to bilk the taxpayers David!

    lol@ buying fake seats as though people won't notice the stadium is empty.

11. I can’t stand this guy

12. Bulldoze Marlins Park and rebuild the Miami Orange Bowl. Move the Marlins to Broward County.

13. i was there

14. "it's a fun ballpark"…no it's not. I attend one or two games there each season. The place has zero energy…so they pipe in obvious fake crowd noise (Jeter started this practice and it continues). And the ticket prices are too high for the mediocre experience received. The sum of this is lousy value…fans are voting with their pocketbooks to stay home. The only baseball sellout at Marlins park last season, didn't involve the Marlins…it was the Savannah Bananas.

15. It's the demographics south Florida and the location of the stadium… It is what it is. 🤷🏿

16. Swampdwellers don't care about baseball. It's a summer sport and summer in the swamp is horrible.

    The Grapefruit League is for tourists.

    Marlins win two WS and NO ONE CARED. The Rays are perhaps the best "small-market" teams and NO ONE CARES.

    Miami should've never been granted a franchise. It was absurd that they played outdoors in the Florida summer. But even with an enclosed stadium there are no fans.

17. Move em to Tennessee

18. 4,000 kids would have happily enjoyed that game

19. I do love that this man will say simply what everybody has already thinking and knowing and acting like he's spouting the work of Jesus Christ. I was absolutely shocked today to learn that major League baseball teams will manipulate and try to avoid low attendance numbers…….. First I've ever heard of this.

20. I get why many Marlins fans don’t show up and it’s because they don’t trust ownership. In ‘03 after they won a WS they tore the team down for no reason and became really bad. When the Jeter-Sherman group came in they traded Stanton, Yelich, Ozuna, Etc for nothing outside of Sandy who was in the Ozuna trade. If the ownership wants to win fans it’s easy. Spend money and keep players long term

21. How sad is it that a complete game gets so much attention! 😊

22. Don’t sell my Brewers short, they are also 5-1 😂
