1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: Here we go, the official show on the fish Stripes 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: podcast channel with me Eli Sussman, Managing editor of fish Stripes. 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: This show is presented by Symbol, the stock Market for Sports. 4 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: A whole lot more about Symbol coming up later in 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: the show. Here on the pod, we cover the Miami 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: Marlins every day in our own way. We appreciate all 7 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: the ratings and reviews, all the feedback, positive or negative 8 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: as we try to fine tune this news and analysis 9 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: about this team that we care about so deeply, this 10 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 1: team that is putting you through through a pretty rough 11 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: time as of right now. Recording on Tuesday night, coming 12 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: off a loss to the Blue Jays, the fourth straight 13 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: loss for this team, dropping them to five games below 14 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: the five hundred mark. It's a relatively light week of 15 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: content on fish Stripes through solely my fault where my 16 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: computer has been damaged and it's currently in the shop repaired. 17 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: In the meantime, I'm using a backup device that moves 18 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: a whole lot slower than I would like in terms 19 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: of a lot of the tasks that we like to do, 20 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: some of the editing and designs, and really everything that 21 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: I like to do is being impacted. So thank you 22 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: for bearing with me. No real bells or whistles on 23 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: this show, just because I don't have the access to 24 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: my usual music library or the download speeds I would 25 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: like to add in highlights and other sound effects. So 26 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: I hope it still is up to the standard that 27 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: you're expecting. Breaking down this Marlins team, most of most 28 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: of this episode is going to focus on six Do 29 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 1: Sanchez kind of a forgotten man with this twenty twenty 30 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: one Marlins team, which is crazy because when this calendar 31 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: flipped to twenty twenty one, I don't think there was 32 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: anybody that was, like, aren't harnessing more of our attention 33 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: than six to O was entering this new year. He was, 34 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: I think, more so than anybody else, emerging as that 35 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: potential face of the franchise type player here in twenty 36 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: twenty one. We got that glimpse of him in the 37 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: big leagues last year. I mean, at the minimum, he 38 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: was supposed to be building off of that at some 39 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: point here this year, was hopeful to make the opening 40 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: day roster. Then when that kind of fell by the wayside, 41 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: should have came up soon after that. But his whole 42 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: year now has been kind of sidetracked by a shoulder 43 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: inflammation issue, and as of this recording, we just got 44 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: another setback with six to oho where he's going to 45 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: pause his throwing program because of some discomfort in that shoulder. 46 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: That's gonna be coming up later in the show. 47 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: For most of this episode, where we want to map 48 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: out how we got here with Sixto, from him being 49 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: you know, the most intriguing player on this team, the 50 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: next Pedro Martinez, someone that you were like fascinated about 51 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: on a number of levels, to somebody that is like 52 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 1: not at all impacting this team through the first couple 53 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: of months of the year, and who's who you just 54 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: don't know what to expect his entire year to this point, 55 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: essentially being wasted. And I think that you need to 56 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: point the finger in a couple different directions, not only 57 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: on six to zero himself, but potentially to the team 58 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: and some things that happened there as well as you know, 59 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: just some simple bad luck. We'll get into all that 60 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: for the first part of the show. We need to 61 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 1: go through some observations about this Marlins team two months 62 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: into the year, and particularly coming off this loss on Tuesday. 63 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: A more conventional game recap coming on our Marlin smallpod 64 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: from a to Ward Doll on Wednesday morning on this 65 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: same feed, I want to kind of compliment that with 66 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: my own observations. I mean, the obvious place to start 67 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: is with Vladimir Guerero Junior, who single handedly swung the 68 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: balance of this game a final score of five to one, 69 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: and felt the game felt decided pretty early on that 70 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: Vladimiric Guerero Junior no doubt home run off of Sandy 71 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: al Contra. Sandy, for the most part in this game 72 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: kind of looked exactly like the guy that we've come 73 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: to expect and love, who is just a consistently great pitcher. 74 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: On this night, his fastball velocities where you're accustomed to it, 75 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: being maxed out around one hundred miles per hour, sitting 76 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: at ninety seven. He mixed in his secondary pitches very 77 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: frequently against righty's and lefties, and yet you know, his 78 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: final line allows four runs, all them earned, and all 79 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: them pretty much because of vlad the three run home 80 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: run that he hit early in the game, and then 81 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: indirectly he helped him manufacture to run I think in 82 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: the fifth ending, So overall, vlad had four hits in 83 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: this one. Three of them coming off of Sandy, And 84 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: I mean this is the first game all year that 85 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: Sandy had to face a designated hitter in this one 86 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: that lengthened the lineup a little bit. It really just 87 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: boils down to Vlad kind of making the one man difference. 88 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: This is the type of player that they're about to 89 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: get into. The Marlins do not have anybody that's even 90 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: remotely comparable to this type of like offuntive superhero. 91 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: He really is. 92 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: Just a savant with a bat in his hands, using 93 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: all fields, hitting for extraordinary power, and he's really so 94 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: much fun to watch and someone that is at the 95 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: heart of this Blue Jays team ascending as a potential 96 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: perennial playoff threat. So I'm envious, there's no doubt about it. 97 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: That brings us over to jazz Jazzism Junior, I guess 98 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: is the closest comp you would have in terms of 99 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: an everyday player on this Marlins team that people are 100 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: enamored with for good reason, especially what he did early 101 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: on in the year, and another quiet game from him here. 102 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: This was his first game back coming off of that 103 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: ankle sprain. So that's where we want to I want 104 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: to emphasize that that this is overall encouraging to see 105 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: that both Jazz and Adam Duval both those guys were 106 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: nursing minor injuries. You weren't entirely sure if they would 107 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: be able to avoid the injured list, but both of 108 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: them felt well enough to start in this game. Both 109 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: of them played the complete game, if I do notice correctly, Yes, 110 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: And even though they Marlins had the DH in this one, 111 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: they had Jazz at shortstop one of the few times 112 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: he's gone to play shortstop this year, and they had 113 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: Adam Duvall in right field. So that's a minor victory. 114 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: The fact that you had them available and believe to 115 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: be relatively close to one hundred percent strength. What I'm 116 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: noticing though from Jazz is that we now have this 117 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: significant sample. You know, it's not as large as sample 118 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: as his April. When April he was one of the 119 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: great all round players in baseball. But since returning from 120 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: that major injury, that hamstring strain in mid May, we're 121 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: now up to forty one played appearances since he's been back, 122 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: and he has eighteen strikeouts in those forty one played 123 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: appearances versus one walk striking out in the mid forties 124 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: percent of the time, nearly half the time he comes 125 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: to the plate, since we'returning from the hammy strain, he 126 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: strikes out and yet only as one walk, And those 127 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: are the first things you point to on you want 128 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: to determine exactly what kind of how a player is 129 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: recognizing pitches and going through their process at the plate. 130 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: There's like a certain ratio with your strikeout right and 131 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: walk right where it's just impossible to be successful. And 132 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: that's kind of where we're at with Jazz. Since it 133 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: came back from that injury. The overall numbers have been 134 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: like replacement level, you know, they haven't been a disaster 135 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: since he came back from the injured list, but obviously 136 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: paling in comparison to what he did in the first 137 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: portion of this year. I mean, a lot closer to 138 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: what he looked like in twenty twenty down the stretch 139 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: when people were not you know, they were happy to 140 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: see him tested at that level, but when he didn't 141 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: even look ready to be a big leaguer at that point. 142 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: So the longer this goes on, the more of a 143 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: red flag it is. Of course, in the moment, as 144 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: we're going to get into the Marlins. I mean, they 145 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: really have nowhere else to look to. Jazz is cemented 146 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: in their lineup and really at the top of their 147 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: lineup for the near future kind of by default with 148 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: the state of this infield, I'm I just wanted to 149 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: point that out that when you see Jazz in the 150 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: lineup and you kind of your word association goes to, 151 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: this is the guy that's going to carry us for 152 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: this near term future. I don't think that's responsible or 153 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: I don't think facts really back that up when you 154 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: look at his now overall numbers for the years. Still 155 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: a good rookie year by all accounts. But let's not 156 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: overreact to what he did early on. Let's not overreact 157 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: to how he's slumping right now. He's someone that really, 158 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: throughout his entire pro career, has been conducive to these 159 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: violent streaks of hot and cold and hot and cold 160 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: and hot and cold. When it all evens out, hopefully 161 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: he is a very good everyday player for this team. 162 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 1: The Marlins lose this one five to one. As I said, 163 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: they got nothing from Jazz. They got a little bit 164 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: from some of the other players in this lineup. Fairmount 165 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: of walks, a lot of singles, but just no power. 166 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: What's so they ends up losing the game. And this 167 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: really kind of hammers home exactly the position the team 168 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: is in right now, where at the very end of 169 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: the game, Corey Dickerson, he comes off the bench to 170 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: pinch hit and he extends the game by drawing a walk. 171 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 1: It loads the bases with two outs in the top 172 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: of the ninth, the next hitter representing the tying run, 173 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: and it is the spot in the order for Luis Marte, 174 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: who was making his major league debut, and Mattinglee takes 175 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: him out for a pinch hitter. But that pinch hitter 176 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: is rookie Jose Devers, twenty one year old Jose Devers, 177 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: who skipped Double A, who barely played at Triple A, 178 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: who has no business being in the big leagues right now, 179 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: and he's the choice to pinch hit as the Marlins 180 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: last hope in a relatively close game. He falls behind two, 181 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: he works to count fall. 182 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 2: And then he strikes out to end the game. 183 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: And I have nothing against Devers, I really do think 184 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: he has quite a significant Ma Julie career ahead of him. 185 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: But this is like lunacy that he is in the 186 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: big leagues right now, starting a lot. He's starting a 187 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: lot of games, he's i mean against right handed pitching. 188 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: He's going to be in the lineup for the foreseeable 189 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: future almost every single game at either shortstop or second base, 190 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: probably second base against right handed pitching. So he was 191 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: off the bench in this one. But they are putting 192 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: so much responsibility on his plate, kind of knowing that 193 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,359 Speaker 1: he is not ready to step into that role yet, 194 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: because they really just leapfrog this whole part of his 195 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: developmental process because of the situation they're in with these injuries. 196 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: Before the game, we got some updates on Brian Anderson 197 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: that he is already kind of beginning this rehab from 198 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: his shoulder subplexation. That was some of the best news 199 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: that we got on the injury front prior to Tuesday's game. 200 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: That BA is already in the midst of rehab. That 201 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: gives you some hope that it's not a super long 202 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: term injury. We'll see exactly what the doctor say when 203 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 1: he gets re evaluated next either by the end of 204 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: the week or potentially the following week. That was relatively 205 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: good news. On the downside. With Miguel Rojas, it was 206 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: determined that there was a small fracture. 207 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 2: In his finger. 208 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: That was the finger that was dislocated on the pickoff 209 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: play last week. 210 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: A fracture. 211 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: On top of that, he is already going through some 212 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: range of motions exercises. But I mean, it's pretty clear 213 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: that he'll be out well beyond the minimum of ten 214 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: days as well. Both those guys out for the rest 215 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: of this road trip at the very least, but almost 216 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: certainly beyond that. Pretty deep into June, you need to 217 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: expect that your left side of the infield is not 218 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: going to be there. Guys that are so like well 219 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: rounded as players that are now just absent from this team. 220 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: It leaves a huge void. It's what compelled me to 221 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: write our first trade proposal Tuesday article, a new weekly 222 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: series trade proposal Tuesday throughout June and July, where I 223 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: pinpoint the individual players that the Marlins want to pursue 224 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: and of course want to put together a reasonable proposal 225 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: as to what the Marlins would have to give up 226 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: to get them. Then, the featured player in our trade 227 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: proposal today was Diamondbacks infielder Eduardo Escobar. Just a couple 228 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: of years move from a dominant season and even this year, 229 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: he's up to thirteen home runs. He plays second base, 230 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: he plays third base. He's a pending free agent, but 231 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: he's not that old, he's not super expensive, and he 232 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: is admired by so many people around the league. I 233 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: put together a four player package that you could read 234 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: about more on fish stripes dot com, and I put 235 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: together under the premise that the Marlins should go after 236 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: him right now because it is a crisis, really like 237 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: their season is going to go down the tubes if 238 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: they don't make a substantial infield acquisition in the coming weeks. 239 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: They can not survive this offense, cannot like stay afloat 240 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:09,479 Speaker 1: without adding somebody that has an impact outside the organization 241 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: who can play some of those infield spots, whether it's 242 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: second base, shortstop, or third base or some combination of 243 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: those ideally. And Escavar is the one that jumped out 244 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: to me because he's on one of the worst teams 245 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: in the majors, on the Diamondbacks, a team that might 246 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: already be ready to deal. It's obviously not going to 247 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: happen this quickly. 248 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 2: It was. 249 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: It was kind of a pie in the sky proposal 250 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: just because of the timing of it. The Marlins really 251 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: need to go down that list of comparable players who 252 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: might actually be available, because you cannot lean this heavily 253 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: on Hoseed Devers. You cannot lean on anything from East 254 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: San Diaz. Although he did have let's see, tonight was 255 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: one of his best knights of the season. He did 256 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: have one hit. One hit makes it one of the 257 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: best nights of the season. His batting average goes up 258 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: to one. 259 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: Anyboy, that just. 260 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: Shows you where we're at with the Sandias. The fact 261 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: that Luis Marte was in the lineup, I mean, bless 262 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: him making his major league debut after a decade in 263 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: the miners. 264 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 2: That's a beautiful story. 265 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: It's not really helping this team, and at a critical 266 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: juncture of their season, they just do not have the 267 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: talent in their infield. They have Eddie Alvarez away on 268 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: the Olympic qualifiers. And I'm not hopeful that the team 269 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: is actually going to take this seriously because earlier on 270 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: Tuesday got confirmation of a couple new signings for this 271 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: organization on the minor league side, players that will are 272 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: believed to be reporting to Triple A. Jacksonville. Old friend 273 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: Justin Twine, a former Marlin traft Pick in twenty fourteen, 274 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: who the organization released last year. He's been brought back 275 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: from his independent league team. And they did the same 276 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: thing with Gally Cribbs Junior, who was also with an 277 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: independent league team, even an older player who doesn't have 278 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: any major league experience. It's great that those guys are 279 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: getting a second chance. It's just a Luis Smarte two 280 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: point oh three point zero situation. The same type of 281 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: guys that are getting this opportunity from a team that 282 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: has no better alternatives. They acquire these guys on a budget. 283 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: Let's see what they look like in Jacksonville. I think 284 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,119 Speaker 1: kind of regardless of what they look like in Jacksonville, 285 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: you cannot believe that they will move the needle at 286 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: the major league level if they. 287 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 2: Do get those opportunities. 288 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: So the longer than the team kind of drags their 289 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: feet on this or is in denial about this, the 290 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: more ground they're going to lose in the standings. Because, 291 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: as I already mentioned, Jazz is so streaky, He's going 292 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: to turn it on again eventually, you just don't know 293 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: exactly when. And unfortunately, this timing cannot be worse. The 294 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: lack of quality depth for this team is just not 295 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: on a satisfactory level to keep things going. I mean, 296 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: the good news is that you don't have to focus 297 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: only on the Marlins when it comes to prognosticating how 298 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: the rest of this year is going to look in 299 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: who you really trust to make you a profit because 300 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: we are proudly partnered with Symbol the stock market for sports. 301 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: Symbol allows you to trade sports teams like stocks, and 302 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: you earn cash payouts. 303 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 2: When they win.

I feel like I 323 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: have to give a refresher about six to Do because 324 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: he has not come up a whole lot on this pod, 325 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: just because I was kind of resigned to the fact 326 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: that he was going to be out for a large 327 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 1: chunk of the season. 328 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 2: I mean, the. 329 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: Verbiage from Don Manningly and Kim Ang this entire year 330 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: has kind of leaned that way that they were going 331 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: to be very cautious with six to Do. Ever, since 332 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: he kind of fell behind in the first place, as 333 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 1: I mentioned up top, I think he was like the 334 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: most intriguing player in this organization to start twenty twenty one. 335 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: And why was that because as a rookie, and technically 336 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: he was still a rookie entering this year. In his 337 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,959 Speaker 1: first call up of twenty twenty during the regular season, 338 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: a three point four to six eer a three point 339 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,959 Speaker 1: fifty FIP in thirty nine innings pitched. And that's while pitching, 340 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: of course with the universal DH. To make it even 341 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: more impressive, he threw the only complete game for the 342 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: Marlins in twenty twenty, and it came against his former team, 343 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: the Phillies. That was one of the more satisfying regular 344 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,239 Speaker 1: season games we saw. It's not just the results, I mean, 345 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: it's the style that he does it with regular season 346 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: and playoffs included. According to stadcast, twenty one pitches above 347 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: one hundred miles per hour from six to oh Sanchez 348 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: in that very small sample that included starting the game 349 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: that clinched the National League Wild Card Series over the Cubs. 350 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that's probably the one game in particular that 351 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,239 Speaker 1: was the most satisfying all year, and six to Zho 352 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: was the one that got them through five scoreless innings. 353 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 2: Of that, he has that amazing velocity that just highlighted. 354 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: He has a special change up that it's right up 355 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: there on the shortlist of the nastiest individual pitches this 356 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: organization has. He showed a lot of potential with his 357 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: slider and above all else, he has excellent control he 358 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: showed that throughout the minor leagues. I watched a lot 359 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: of him in twenty nineteen when he was pitching for 360 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: Double A Jacksonville against the competition that was much older 361 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: than him even back then. I mean, of course, pitching 362 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: in the majors is an even bigger disparity. But he 363 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 1: has this track record in the minor leagues of being 364 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: such a complete pitcher where he has at least three 365 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: plus pitches, he has really five total pitches in his arsenal. 366 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: He is a really cerebral guy. He is someone that 367 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: really repeats his mechanics very well. And the one knock 368 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: on him, the one concern about him, and this really 369 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: applies to so many other pitchers of course, is just 370 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: durability and how you're able to forecast that. So that 371 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: gets us to how this year kind of unraveled for him. 372 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: Before it even started, he of course on the forty 373 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: man roster, and he was believed to be, you know, 374 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: a front runner for one of the opening day of 375 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: rotation spots, although with the understanding that the Marlins would 376 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: watch his endings very carefully this year because he's had 377 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: significant elbow injuries in the past and his conditioning has 378 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: been inconsistent. He's not a perfect pitching prospect. There's that 379 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: durability issue. And I mean, I guess you want to 380 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: point to the spring training of twenty twenty when even 381 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: before he made his major league debut, where there was 382 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: an issue with his conditioning. He was fat entering spring training, 383 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: so much so that they held him out of appearing 384 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: in Grapefruit League Major League spring training games. They wanted 385 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: him to focus on the off the field stuff and 386 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: make sure that he was committed to, you know, being 387 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: the best version of himself by all accounts, he kind 388 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: of addressed that during that COVID hiatus in the spring 389 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: and summer of twenty twenty, he reported to summer camp 390 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: in better shape. He impressed at the fish Tank, the 391 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: alternate training site, and from there it was, you know, 392 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: pretty much smooth sailing up to the big league level 393 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: when that rotation spot opened, and he would, I mean, 394 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: he showed the makings of being a guy that would 395 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: be a fixture in this Marlins rotation for years to 396 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: come and being one of the more recognizable guys on 397 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: the team and across the entire league. The stuff he has, 398 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: the swagger, he has, the control he has. It was 399 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: all coming together where at the very least you just 400 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: saw this high floor of a guy that was going 401 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: to be a good starting pitcher for a very long time. 402 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: So what went wrong is spring training here in twenty 403 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: twenty one, he arrives behind schedule due to visa issues. 404 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: We don't know all the particular of that. Did he 405 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: do something wrong with his travel arrangements that made that 406 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: come up? 407 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 2: Was it just bad luck? 408 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: There were a lot of foreign born players that were 409 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: affected by visa issues this spring, So I don't think 410 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: you can hold that against them. What you absolutely cannot 411 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: hold against them is a false positive COVID test that 412 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: he had in late February that further delayed his progress. 413 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 2: You know during that time. 414 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: Again, you need to put yourself in that mindset of 415 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: February where the pandemic is still raging and like hardly 416 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: anybody had a vaccine at that point, especially among these 417 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: younger adults. 418 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 2: So when you, you know. 419 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,239 Speaker 1: Allegedly tested positive for COVID, they had to isolate you 420 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: for a number of days. That completely stalled his ramp 421 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: up and trying to get stretched out to be a 422 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: starting pitcher, which is of course the big asset that 423 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: he brings to the table is that. 424 00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 2: He's so efficient with his pitches. 425 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: He's so consistent with his pitches, and I mean, it's 426 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: one thing to have nasty stuff like that and be 427 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: in the bullpen, and even in high leverage situations, it's 428 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 1: even more valuable to be a starting pitcher. And he 429 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: has all the makings of being exactly that. Unfortunately, it's 430 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: a long process, and so once that follows positive COVID 431 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: test hit, I mean, by then it became pretty apparent 432 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: that he was going to be on the outside looking 433 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: in on the opening day roster. He just did not 434 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: have the time to get like reasonably stretched out to 435 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: be a starter, you know, in a on a typical schedule. 436 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: So this is where it really gets murky, because he finally, 437 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: for the first time, got to pitch in some major 438 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: league spring training games the second week of March, and 439 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: he makes one to three of those appearances in gravery 440 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: league games, makes another one on the backfield, and he's 441 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: lined up to, you know, make one of the finishing touches, 442 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: you know, to his preseason preparation. 443 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 2: It's ready. 444 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: By the time we get to the end of spring training, 445 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: it's apparent he won't be on the opening day roster, 446 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: that they sent him up to Jacksonville to the fish 447 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: tank to kind of finalize his preparation for the season 448 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: and just wait for a fifth rotation spot to open 449 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: up for him. And as he is pitching in a 450 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: game on March thirty, first, one day before Major League 451 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: opening Day, he's up in Jacksonville, and it's a couple 452 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: endings into that game they remove him for discomfort that 453 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: he was feeling in his shoulder. And immediately, when it's 454 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: any player, any pitcher, and it's anything related to their arm, 455 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: there's concern about that, although the team kind of did 456 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 1: downplay it and after everybody kind of held their breath. 457 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 1: I mean, the diagnosis was disappointing that he had inflammation 458 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: in the back of his shoulder, but it didn't seem 459 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: like a deal breaker for his season, Like there was 460 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: no reason to panic at that time already with the 461 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,479 Speaker 1: understanding that he'd be slowed down, that he'd be handled 462 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: carefully this year, and he wasn't going to be in 463 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: the rotation all year anyway, And it just seems like 464 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: a fluky thing because they really did handle him responsibly, 465 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: handle him gently, during that spring training process, even once 466 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: he fell behind schedule, you know, he was making starts 467 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,239 Speaker 1: every five or six days. They were only exceeding his 468 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: workload by fifteen or so pitches every single outing. They 469 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: didn't rush him to the big leagues. There really didn't 470 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: seem to be any mistakes along the way that would 471 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: subject him more so to entury than anything else. I mean, 472 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: and for his party, seemed to be in the same 473 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: kind of physical condition that he was during the twenty 474 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: twenty season. It was frustrating setback for sure, but it 475 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: felt like something they could overcome relatively easily. You know, 476 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: once he suffered that issue, and once we got the diagnosis, 477 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: I think this must have been April second or April third. 478 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,719 Speaker 1: I think if you said fast forward two months, that 479 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: even on a conservative side, there was every expectation that 480 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: he would be in the big leagues by now, that 481 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: at the very least they were going to get two 482 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: thirds of a season from him at the major league level. 483 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: And instead, as I said up the top, the update 484 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: that we got from the Marlins is that he just 485 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: it's on June first, he was still feeling discomfort in 486 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: that shoulder, and they're kind of pausing to take next 487 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: steps in the process. 488 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 2: What I find is a. 489 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: Very fascinating comparison here is between six to doo and 490 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 1: Eliezer Hernandez. Because you'll remember Eliezer Hernandez opened the year 491 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 1: in the rotation. A couple endings into his first start 492 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: of the regular season, he gets removed early for precautionary 493 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: reasons and upon closer evaluation they find a biceps tendon 494 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: issue where they have to shut him down. So that 495 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: that was really the bigger setback for the Marlins as 496 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: Ajor League team, because Eliezer was the guy that they 497 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: were hoping to get something close to a full season 498 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: out of him as an older player. But somebody that has, 499 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: you know, physical comparisons to Sixto where he's listed at 500 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: six foot tall, kind of a stocky six foot tall 501 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: even guy who has had some injury issues in the 502 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: past as well, just like Sixto has nothing particularly with 503 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: his elbow I think in the past he had is 504 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: obviously had blister issues in the past. He's a couple 505 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: kind of flukey injuries for Eliezer in his career, but 506 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: the same like understandable durability concerns, so they diagnose him 507 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: with that biceps issue, and according to the timeline I'm 508 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: looking at, you know, a couple of days into April's 509 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: when he suffers the injury by mid April, by the 510 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: time we get an update from the team on April 511 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: sixteenth or so, that update specifies that six to oh 512 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: has begun throwing up to four forty five feet and 513 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: Eliezer has been throwing up to sixty feet. So let 514 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: me just make those dates abundantly clear. Six OH suffers 515 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: his injury on March thirty first, and by the middle 516 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: of April he's thrown again. Eliezer Hernandez suffers his injury 517 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,479 Speaker 1: a couple days into April, around the same time as 518 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: six OH. Just a couple days later, by the same point, 519 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: he is thrown again. So both these guys suffered injuries 520 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: to their throwing arm. Both of them get shut down 521 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: for a week and a half, maybe two weeks at most, 522 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: and then they're back thrown again. 523 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 2: So what I don't. 524 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: Understand is how we go from there to where we 525 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: are now, where Eliezer Hernandez is on the verge of 526 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: rejoining the Marlins rotation. He is eligible to come off 527 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: the sixty day injury list on June third, and it 528 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: looks like he is going to be reinstated pretty much 529 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: as soon as. 530 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 2: He is eligible. 531 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: And then we have six Too, who at this moment 532 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,719 Speaker 1: has been shut down from throwing yet again, and his 533 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: arrival is totally young. Clear he has not been stretched 534 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: out for anything close to a starter's workload. He's still 535 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: along while away. So how did this happen with those 536 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: two guys? Is it was something that I will never 537 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: get a definitive answer to. Of course, everybody's individual body 538 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: is different, and these injuries between these two guys are different. 539 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: I mean, just some things I want to draw to 540 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: your attention though, is just how slow that ramp up 541 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: was for six oh you know where we have this 542 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: statement from the team that he's been throwing since mid April, 543 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: and yet he only threw his first bullpen session at 544 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: the very very end of May. So there was six 545 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: weeks between when six to Do was cleared to throw 546 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,719 Speaker 1: again and when he was throwing his first bullpen session. 547 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: To compare that with eli As or Hernandez, he started 548 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: throwing in mid April as well, and he had his 549 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: first bullpen session on May eighth. It looks like about 550 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: three weeks gap in between there, so six do Sanchez 551 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: was brought along at half the speed that Eliezer was 552 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: brought on, even though both guys suffered injuries around the 553 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: same time. And I'm just gonna say that again because 554 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: this is the detail that I'm really stuck on. Both 555 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: these pictures suffer injuries to their throwing arm around the 556 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: same time. One of them takes about three weeks to 557 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: go from throwing to bullpen the other one takes six 558 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: weeks to go from the beginning of his throwing progression 559 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: to a bullpen session. Everybody's body is different, injuries are 560 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: a little bit different. But that's just seems to have 561 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: been an intentional choice by the Marlins organization to bring 562 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: six to zero along at a snail's pace. A guy 563 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: that is there, I think everybody agrees, is, if not 564 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: the number one prospect in the organization, he's awfully closed 565 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: he has and if nothing else, he is entirely ready 566 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: for the big leagues right now. He is an important 567 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: part of this team year four of a rebuild, coming 568 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: off a postseason appearance where they say publicly where they're 569 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: not afraid of anybody, We love the team that we 570 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: brought back. This is a team that is talking like 571 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: one that wanted this year to mean something, to be competitive. 572 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: That doesn't jive with the way that they were handling 573 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: six to zero coming off of an injury, but all 574 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: things considered a mild injury. So the one detail I 575 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: wanted to mention about this is that once six to 576 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: zero did suffer the injury, and I think everybody believes 577 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: it was a real injury of some kind. I'm not 578 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: accusing them of faking that. I wonder if the thought 579 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: entered the Marlins head that he suffers that injury while 580 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: he gets shut down the early part of April, the 581 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: team drops to They dropped to one in six. They 582 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: lost six of their first seven games to start the year, 583 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: in a year when frankly, pretty much everybody predicted some 584 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: regression from them. That the expectation was if they didn't 585 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: finish last in this division, it wouldn't be a whole 586 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: lot better than that that. This is just they seems 587 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: to be a year away from being relevant in most 588 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: people's eyes. You have to wonder if early on in 589 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: the year they saw what was happening, they saw, you know, some. 590 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 2: Inherent flaws with this team. 591 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: Offensively, for sure, and perhaps in just the level of 592 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: competition that they were going up against. And you wonder 593 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: if they saw that and wondered, with six to zero, 594 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: you know, nursing this injury, whether to take a long 595 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: term view in terms of handling this prized player of THEIRS. 596 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: Six Ozho did get major league time in twenty twenty, 597 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: but due to how he was behind schedule in his 598 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: ramp up for regular season this year, the team did 599 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: option him to the minors right before the year started. 600 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: And so what are the ramifications of that? I mean, 601 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: wanted to save them a lot of money, because when 602 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: you were in the majors or on the major league 603 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: injured list, you get paid like a major league player. 604 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: Even for someone like six to zero, he would get 605 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: the rookie minimum salary. It's well north of half a 606 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 1: million dollars a year he got he was options before 607 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: the start of the regular season, and that meant that 608 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: instead he does not receive, you know, a major league salary. 609 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: During this entire time, he's been paid a tiny fraction 610 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: of that as a forty man roster player. You know, 611 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: he's he's making more than the typical minor leaguer, and 612 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: something that he can live off of. But it is 613 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: it's just pennies on the dollar of what he would 614 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: have been getting if he had been fully healthy and 615 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: in the major leagues. 616 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 2: So I bring that. 617 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: Up for I guess a bunch of reasons that well, 618 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: we'll get through and then finally close out this pod 619 00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: here heading into the middle of this Marlins Row trip 620 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: with six doh. Because he had been optioned before that, 621 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: he has every incentive of trying to get back to 622 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 1: the big leagues. He doesn't make money, He doesn't make 623 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: any real money when he's in the minor leagues. He 624 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: obviously does not. It doesn't like grow him if he 625 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 1: has this, if he has any sort of like egotistical 626 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 1: piece of him that wants the attention and wants the 627 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 1: acclaim for being a star pitcher, he doesn't get that 628 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: when he's in the minor leagues. And I mean most 629 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: of all, he doesn't get any service time once he 630 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: is options. He has not been adding to his service 631 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 1: time while he's been in the minor leagues this year. 632 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: So last year, six Zho was up for a slightly 633 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 1: more than half of the regular season, and on a 634 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: pro rated basis, he was credited with one hundred and 635 00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: three days of service time in twenty twenty, so that 636 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: has not changed since then. And if everybody's expectation was that, 637 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: you know, once they called him up, he would get 638 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: six more fold years in the Marlins organization called up 639 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, under control for the next six years 640 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: beyond that all the way through the twenty twenty six 641 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: season before potentially being eligible for a free agency I 642 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 1: wonder if the Marlins saw the team struggle out of 643 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: the gate, knowing that six oh was injured, understanding of 644 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: course his history of injuries prior to that, and one 645 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: in thought, it's very important for them to use this 646 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 1: opportunity to get an extra year of control, even beyond 647 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 1: what they were originally anticipating with him. 648 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 2: What would that mean? 649 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: That would mean that they this year to ensure that 650 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 1: that club control would extend an extra year all the 651 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: way to twenty twenty seven, they would need a limit 652 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: six to zero service time this year to sixty eight 653 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 1: days at the major league level. The way it adds up, 654 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: he needs to be held to one hundred and seventy 655 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: one days or less to fall below a full year 656 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: of service time and to kind of push back the 657 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 1: clock an entire year. He already got most of the 658 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: way to a full year of service time last year, 659 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: but because that's been stopped right now, they really kick 660 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: this can down the road. They maybe they saw this 661 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: path to extending their service time a full year much 662 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: deeper into his twenties. It's crazy considering this is a 663 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 1: guy that kind of moved through the system almost as 664 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: fast as you possibly could. But there's now this scenario 665 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: where he could be under control all the way through 666 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: his age twenty eight season, all the way past his 667 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 1: twenty ninth birthday if they hold him down a little 668 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: bit longer. It's I don't find this theory entirely plausible 669 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: because we've seen how, you know, how much of a 670 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,879 Speaker 1: I don't even know the right word for it. How 671 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: it's just been a total discombobulated situation trying to fill 672 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: out this Marlins rotation behind Sandy Pablo Lopez and Trevor Rodgers. 673 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: It's essentially been a three man rotation for almost this 674 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: entire year. But before Cody Poteit finally stepped up as 675 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 1: a semi reliable fourth guy that you'd think there's an 676 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: urgency to bring six so back that he would be 677 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: so much better than all these bullpen days and all 678 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: these fringy call ups that they've had at various points 679 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 1: during the year, that he could make such a big difference. 680 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 1: You know, this team that despite all its flaws offensively 681 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 1: could still be you know, on pace for all of 682 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 1: its goals if they had this above average starting pitcher 683 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 1: on top of you know, the studs that lead their 684 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: rotation themselves. But that magic date about that would push 685 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 1: back his service time an entire year is July twenty eighth. 686 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: That would be the first eligible day for him to 687 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: be called up, while you know, preventing him from reaching 688 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: a full year of service time in twenty twenty one 689 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 1: and pushing things back so that he's under control all 690 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 1: the way through twenty twenty seven. And just the reading 691 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: between the lines of what Kim Ang recently said about 692 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: how they were treating six that was kind of a 693 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 1: potential trade deadline acquisition. When is the trade deadline. The 694 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 1: trade deadline is at the very end of July, So 695 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: I wonder if she chose that phrasing intentionally, if she 696 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 1: really meant it literally. I think it's fair to say 697 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 1: that they did not plan for him to feel discomfort 698 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: in his shoulder during his rehab. But I'm just going 699 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: to defer to Marlin's insider Craig Mish on that where 700 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: Mish is pretty bluntly said on Twitter on Tuesday that 701 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 1: he's had a tough time getting accurate transparent information about 702 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: six DoH's rehab. So the Marlin say on Tuesday that 703 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: he experienced some discomfort in the shoulder, do we believe them? 704 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 1: Do we believe that he was feeling discomfort and that 705 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 1: they are slowing down his throng progression because of that? 706 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 1: You know, right when he seemed to be on the 707 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 1: verge of potentially maybe facing live batters and then doing 708 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: a rehab assignment in the near future, now that's being 709 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 1: pushed back a little bit. Is it a coincidence? Is 710 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: it something to worry about with six doh or is 711 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: it just very convenient for a team that is again 712 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 1: to get that extra year of service time, they'd have 713 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 1: to hold him down for almost another two months from 714 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,439 Speaker 1: this point all the way until the end of July 715 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: before they'd be able to call him up while ensuring 716 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: that he's still you know, short of that service time. 717 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: Marker six to OHO has every motivation for handling himself carefully, 718 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,879 Speaker 1: for you know, listening to what the trainers say, and 719 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 1: you know, taking the steps, whether it's with his delivery 720 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: or with his physique to prevent injuries in the future. 721 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 1: Like there's there's no reason why Sixta would want to 722 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: be like living in this Like I don't want to 723 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,320 Speaker 1: overstate it. I want to call it like purgatory. But this, 724 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: this must be really painful for him to you know, 725 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 1: not being able to take advantage of this opportunity with 726 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 1: this Marlins team, to not establish himself, to not earn money. 727 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:41,959 Speaker 2: I think he wants to earn. 728 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: This is not a guy that was ever a highly 729 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: regarded international signee. 730 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 2: He does not have you know, I don't want to 731 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,280 Speaker 2: get inside his bank account, but he he needs. 732 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: He's got a lot of work ahead to kind of 733 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 1: secure his future. He's not gonna, you know, do it 734 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 1: all just based on the hype and based on the 735 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 1: nice words from Pedro Martinez. This is this was a 736 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,319 Speaker 1: pretty critical stepping stone year for him on paper that 737 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 1: I think, even in the best case scenario at this point, 738 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: is not going to live up to his hopes and 739 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 1: the organization's hopes. For how this has played out. 740 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,240 Speaker 2: It's been it's. 741 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 1: Been disappointing, and I don't know exactly who to point 742 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: fingers at. We're not going to get like a fully 743 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: transparent explanation as to what's going on. And just to 744 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: in the words of Fist Stripe's own reporter Ethan Bodowski, 745 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 1: this is not a reason to panic that there is 746 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: still a hope for him to come back. We still 747 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 1: haven't gotten a full, you know, clarification as to what 748 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 1: this recent discomfort is with six tozero. Yeah, I hope 749 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:51,720 Speaker 1: all these thoughts have been at least relatively cohesive about 750 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: six to All I'm saying is that for those that 751 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 1: believe this is some sort of like character flaw on 752 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: his account, that somehow he's not doing enough to get 753 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,360 Speaker 1: back healthy, all I'm saying is that he has every 754 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 1: possible motivation, every incensive possible like to get onto the 755 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: fields and contribute at the major league level, to pitch 756 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,479 Speaker 1: in front of crowds for the first time. He didn't 757 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: get to do that last year, and you just know 758 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 1: that he would thrive off of those kind of atmospheres 759 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 1: at Lone Depot Park and on the road and everything 760 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 1: that comes with. 761 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 2: Being a major League player in between. 762 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: So I think I speak for everybody when we hope 763 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,879 Speaker 1: we see six to zero with the Marlins as soon 764 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:39,239 Speaker 1: as like realistically possible at this point and realistically possible, 765 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,399 Speaker 1: I don't really see a scenario where he's up before 766 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: the All Star break. Now, if they've paused his throwing 767 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 1: program and still are like determined to stretch him out 768 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: as a regular starter, like that whole process is still 769 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,319 Speaker 1: going to take another month from the point where he's 770 00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:02,439 Speaker 1: actually given the green light to throw again. He's going 771 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 1: to miss the majority of this season. And that is 772 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 1: just crazy to think about. From where we were entering 773 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one.
