I think they actually have the pole lined up outside of fair territory. If anyone has any other insight on this particular stadium please let me know.

Not so - the poles are fair.
Pro Player groundrules from the Marlins web site:
Ball bounds off any portion of railing around photographers booths, it is in play.
Ball strikes any portion of left-field scoreboard below the uppermost edge, it is in play.
Ball strikes any portion of foul poles in left field above top of wall, it is a home run.
Ball strikes any portion of foul poles in right field above top of wall, it is a home run.
