For more than two decades, Gary Sheffield’s 42 home runs in 1996 stood as the single-season club record for the Florida/Miami Marlins. On this day five years ago, that mark fell by the wayside. In an 8-3 victory for the Miami Marlins over the San Francisco Giants, Giancarlo Stanton wasted little time making history. Stanton had homered in four straight games as he stepped to the plate in the bottom of the first at Marlins Park on August 14, 2017. With a runner on and nobody out against Giants pitcher Ty Blach, Stanton left no doubt. On a fastball from Blach, Stanton lined a screamer over the left field wall. It was his 43rd of the season and a new Marlins record. Denard Span’s two-run double highlighted a three-run third as the Giants took a 3-2 lead, but that was short lived. After scoring the tying run on a Christian Yelich RBI single in the third, Dee Strange-Gordon put Miami ahead for good with an RBI infield single in the fourth. Stanton followed with an RBI single of his own. Up 5-3, Miami pushed its lead to three on a solo home run from Marcell Ozuna to lead off the bottom of the fifth. Tyler Moore’s RBI double highlighted a two-run seventh. Strange-Gordon finished with three hits in the victory. Adam Conley picked up the win. But the night belonged to Stanton. Stanton would go on to hit 59 home runs and become the first Miami player ever to earn National League MVP honors. He set the club’s single-season home run record on this day five years ago.

Photo by Cliff Welch/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images It’s finally that time that everyone has been waiting for. The first live action that we will see this year from the yet again new-look Miami Dolphins. This will serve as not only the first pre-season game for both squads this year but also the first outing for Mike McDaniel as head coach of the Dolphins from the sideline of a live-action game. As all of you already expect, this glorified exhibition game is not what we will see during the regular season, from a full scheme aspect or even an on-the-field lineup aspect but it will serve it’s purpose of allowing the mostly new coaching staff to see the new players and the rookies perform in real-time game speed. Additionally, the coaches will get a chance to see how the players are adapting and absorbing the new schemes, especially on offense as none of us yet know what will or will not change, if at all, scheme-wise on the defensive side of the ball now that Brian Flores is gone. We should all expect to see most of the “stars” of each team on the sidelines for most of if not the entirety of the game. There is still a chance that McDaniel will run Tua out for a series or two but no one expects to see Tom Brady on the field this week if at all during the preseason.

Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images During the regular season, NFL teams are required to release a list of inactive players 90 minutes before the scheduled kickoff of each week’s game. During the preseason, there is no requirement to do that, but the Miami Dolphins have released a list of “players not expected to play” for tonight’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. No one on the list should come as a surprise as the team protects some of their key starters during the first week of the preseason. Miami’s unofficial “inactive” list includes quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, running back Chase Edmonds, linebacker Melvin Ingram, safety Jevon Holland, wide receiver Tyreek Hill, wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, cornerback Xavien Howard, fullback Alec Ingold, running back Raheem Mostert, linebacker Elandon Roberts, linebacker Jerome Baker, center Connor Williams, tackle Terron Armstead, tight end Adam Shaheen, defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah, defensive tackle Zach Sieler, and defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. The first week of the preseason is really more about the depth players, getting them some full-contact experience while allowing coaches another chance at evaluating them. Any of the starters who are not included on the list will likely see an extremely limited number of snaps before they are wrapped in bubble wrap on the sidelines. The Dolphins and Buccaneers kick off from Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium at 7:30 p.m. ET.
