The Miami Marlins have an NFL quarterback first pitch problem

Check out the best moments from this matchup between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Miami Marlins.

Well, folks, it would appear as though the Miami Marlins are at it again.

And, no, I’m not talking about anything they’ve done on the field (though with how they got everyone’s hopes up to start the season only to come crashing back down to Earth deserves a separate article all on its own).

I’m speaking, of course about how the Fightin’ Fish have invited yet another NFL star to absolutely airmail his ceremonial first pitch, and this one is even worse than the last.

FERNANDO MENDOZA, THE NO 1 PICK OF NFL DRAFT TO THE RAIDERS, TASKED WITH RETURNING A LEGACY FRANCHISE TO GLORY

If you will recall, the Marlins brought the then-presumptive No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft and South Florida native, Fernando Mendoza, out onto the mound to toss out a first pitch, and his efforts were roundly mocked online.

Not terrible by layman’s standards, but still a ball even if Wemby was in the batter’s box.

And don’t get me started on that form.

Not to be outdone, the Marlins invited newly minted Dolphins starter, Malik Willis, to their series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies Friday night, and the intra-county signal caller said, "Hold my beer, Fernando."

Holy moly! I swear that throw gets worse every time I watch it.
