1 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: Welcome to October First. This is big Fish Small Pot. 2 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,239 Speaker 1: I'm a team radaal and I've been talking to you 3 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: all season on Wednesdays and Fridays about this. Miami Marlins 4 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one year Daniel Rodriguez has been picking up 5 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: Tuesdays and Thursdays and overall Fish Stripes has been bringing 6 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: you coverage pretty much around the clock, and that's going 7 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: to keep continuing. It's an exciting time. It's October baseball. 8 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: We'll keep going through the fall, talk about the Fall League, 9 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: talk about the playoffs, anything else this you know, CBA 10 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: coming up. Totally looking forward to providing continued coverage for you. 11 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: But anyways, today is October first, you know, the first 12 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: day of October baseball. With three games left in the 13 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one year. Looking at the pitching matchups coming up, 14 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: we have Sandy going tonight, Jesus Lozardo tomorrow Saturday, and 15 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: then Pablo Lopez returning to the field on Sunday, a 16 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: fact that I'm really really excited about. I think it's 17 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: actually really important for his rehabilitation to get back on 18 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: the major league field and hit that height, that like 19 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: level of performance that you need to be in the 20 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: majors above like Triple A. It's just it sets the 21 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: tone for the off season. In my mind, probably off 22 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: season will seem like kind of working to stretch his 23 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: arm out and like get more of those mobility aspects 24 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: and those long term just like durability aspects of his 25 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: like musculature back into like form for a major league year. 26 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: We're seriously coming up on an off season that is 27 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: like critical for the Marlins. Obviously, transactions aside, just these 28 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: individual players have a lot of work to do. Last 29 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: night's starter, Edward Cabrera, is very much in that category himself. 30 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: The Marlins overall fell twelve to three against the Mets. 31 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: I don't much want to talk about that game for 32 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: reasons already mentioned. The fact though that Edward Cabrera was 33 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: like pretty effective through like three innings speaks a bit 34 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: to where he's at as a major league starter. And 35 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: I do, like fully feel confident that he is a 36 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: major league caliber player that will continue to be a 37 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: major league caliber player. But what came out last night 38 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: He was moved from the game with a blister on 39 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: his pitching hand, which to me speaks to just maybe 40 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: some like skin sensitivity. He hasn't been pitching a lot. 41 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: He's had injuries the last couple of years. So he's 42 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: getting to that point where he needs to just get 43 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: through those like wear and tear, little injuries just like 44 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: skin blisters where there could be callouses. So today I 45 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: was kind of brought to life that he will be 46 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: pitching in Dominican this winter, get some more innings. I'm 47 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: particularly excited to see that for him. I'm glad he's 48 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: going to continue pitching through with his like inning count 49 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: not quite where you'd want for like a major league 50 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: starter you can rely on to being a rotation for 51 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: a full season. No one's seen that yet from him, 52 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: So he's putting steps forward now and continuing on this 53 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: winter to get to that point. I think that's a 54 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: great work epic for the young man, and I think 55 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: that's really a credit to what we're going to be 56 00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: seeing at this twenty twenty two season. I'm personally still 57 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: like really excited where the Marlins are at the offense. 58 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: Last night, not quite there. Lewis Brinson, however, had a 59 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: home run. I got caught up just like checking out 60 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: some Brinston stats. It really threw me for a loop 61 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: that this is his twenty fifth major league home run. 62 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: That he is nine this year is like really just 63 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: like blowing the other totals out of the water. I 64 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: look at that, and I think that Lewis Brinston has 65 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: seriously gotten better as a hitter over the years. I 66 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: have trouble not wanting to see him as like like 67 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: a lateening option off the bench. I still view him 68 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: as absolutely a marlin. This next weekend, obviously it could 69 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: be anyone's last in Miami, but you know what, I 70 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: have a feeling that this year might go out with 71 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: a bit of a bang. Also with the bat. Sanchez 72 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: left last night's game with some hamstring tightness, And it 73 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: hasn't really been said. I certainly haven't said it in 74 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: the past talking about Jesus Sanchez. This the way he's built. 75 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: I've certainly like noted in the past as as like 76 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: everyone else, just how physically strong he is, even like 77 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: through the legs. He's just a powerful person with a 78 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: lot of muscle and like hurting like your hamstring, even 79 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: like high up as reported probably like potentially like in 80 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: the leg maybe even like closer to the back. I mean, 81 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: hard to really tell based on the reports, Like where 82 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: exactly he has this issue, but with the hamstring, ultimately 83 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: what you find is that you need it to like 84 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: be properly stretched out. I mean, I have hamstring issues 85 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: myself for my own athletic career. But speaking to the 86 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: fact that he's such a powerful person, just so much 87 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: muscle he had to generate that mass at some point. 88 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: It could be a result of like just some unsustainable 89 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: training that gotten to the point where he can't quite 90 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: make it through a major league season without having a 91 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: hamstring flare up. Distinctly a problem, but not a problem 92 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: that you can't prevent in the future with better conditioning 93 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: and strengthening. That like, speaking forward on Haesek Sancha is 94 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: like totally nothing to be worried about. Even if this 95 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: is the last we've seen of him in twenty twenty one, 96 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: there's plenty of time for him to work out this 97 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: relatively minor issue and get ahead of it going into 98 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two year without really sacrificing much in 99 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: the way of power. I know that there's often like 100 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: kind of some bad talk against like running in baseball, 101 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: I know, like JJ Bledae kind of some like Flaq 102 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: went his direction and just for his twenty twenty one year, 103 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: which was spent primarily in after an off season focusing 104 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: on like getting the durability up to make it through 105 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: a full season, which is something perhaps the Hazus Sanchez 106 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: needs to do. And totally no one's specifically mentioned running. 107 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: I've not seen that credited as a specific source. It's 108 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: just an area of my specific knowledge. More to the 109 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: fact though, that cardio can trim your musculature, something to 110 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: be aware of moving forward, but certainly something to like 111 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: give optimism to a bluedet as someone who can focus 112 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: back going into twenty twenty two putting on muscle and 113 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: hitting the ball hard, which is something Hazus Sanchez has 114 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: shown he can do at the major league level. Perhaps 115 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: somewhat I fixate on those like preventable problems that arise 116 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: in like an athlete's performance with extremeth and conditioning considerations, 117 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: but really the off season is the time to just decompress, destress. 118 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: It's been like a stressful year for Miami. There's like 119 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: certainly been days that have been just like hard, just 120 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: you presented with so many things you need to adjust 121 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: to to face another team and you're also flying. It's 122 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: a hard year. It's certainly rest is important, but recovery 123 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: is like equally important. So moving into the off season, 124 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: I expect to hear a good bit about that for Miami, 125 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: and even if we don't hear about it, I certainly 126 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: expect a lot of that to be happening. Looking onto 127 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: this weekend, what we're looking forward is a Sandy start 128 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: his last of the year, just like how high can 129 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: he get his totals for the year. Really excited to 130 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: see what could be just him putting on a show 131 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: tonight against Ranger Suarez and the Phillies at seven to 132 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: ten Tomorrow six'. Ten, Hey Zeus, lozardo another pitcher that's 133 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: like had some, difficulties some. Inconsistencies obviously you want to 134 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: like set it out right going into the off, season 135 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: so we'll see if you can put that. Together in 136 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: His saturday, start we'll get our final look At lozardo 137 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: for the. Season Then pablo On. Sunday really just looking 138 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: for him to like reach those. Heights innings will probably be, 139 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: limited but still an exciting. Start. Tonight Fish Stripes live 140 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: will be with you around six' ten an hour before, 141 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: the game so check.
