1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Today is July twenty third, and this is big Fish,

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Small Pod. I'm at Verdoll here with another ten minutes

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: to catch you up on this day in Miami Marlins.

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: So again, today is July twenty third, and as such,

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: it's a day that's going to be dominated again by

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: trade talk.

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 2: Tune into any major.

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Media outlet like MLB Network included, you'll see experts and

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: analysts talking about potential trades, pitching ideas, sending people across

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: the country, and ultimately what that is is just part

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: of the noise that it is to be a professional

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: baseball player focused on the day at hand, the game

13
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: at hand, amidst conversations all around as deals may be

14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: lined up over the next week or so. Let's take

15
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: a look at today in Marlin's Baseball. Check in on

16
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: the most recent major Marlins trade, see how Joe Panic

17
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: and Andrew mcinvale are performing. And before all that, just

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: a stray detail from the Monte Harrison demotion the other day,

19
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: as he was sent to Triple A to bring up

20
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: Nick Knidert for Wednesday's start. Strategic move totally made sense,

21
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: but Craig Mish with Miami Harold reported that there was

22
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: actually an altercation between Monte Harrison and Starling Marte that

23
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,279
Speaker 1: went unreported to this point.

24
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: Obviously, there's nothing that I can say about it.

25
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: It's much too vague to really discern any information from it.

26
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: But it's just a thing to note Otherwise. The Marlins

27
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: returned home yesterday to face the Padres for four games

28
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: at Lone Depot Park. Actually a great time to go down.

29
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: After the late getaway game from DC on Wednesday, we

30
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: had the first of four in Miami. The Marlins lined

31
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: up Anthony Bender to open and called up Jordan Holloway

32
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: for a long outing.

33
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: In relief. Nick Knightered was.

34
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: Sent down to facility that pitching plan and the bullpen

35
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: was distinctly used yesterday. Eight pitchers in all three for

36
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: the Marlins, but the offense wasn't able to get more

37
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: than two runs off of Padres batters. Blake Snell, the

38
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: starter for the Padres, pitched well. Both of his breaking

39
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: pitches were working for strikes and swings and misses. His

40
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: changeup also factored in. He stole just like three strikes,

41
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: just froze batters, just three pitches, three called strikes. Adam

42
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: de Vall was made to look just an absolute fool

43
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: on some breaking pitches.

44
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: It was the San Diego Padres.

45
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: You expect them to be a good team, and they

46
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: were a good team, but they were not able to

47
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: totally put the Marlins to bed. They were able to

48
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: score early as a pass ball by Jorgel Farrow, now

49
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: his tenth of the year as he failed to catch

50
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: a pitch from Jordan Holloway in the second helped Runners

51
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: move long and eventually and.

52
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: Now farrowed down the left field. Live. That'll get down

53
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: and get to the wall. Brinton scores, Bertie's got his

54
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 3: way to thirty is held there and it's an RBI

55
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: pitch hit double for forge al far to give the

56
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: Martins the lead in the tent.

57
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: Only one of those runs scored on a hit, as

58
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: their offense was pretty much negated, scoring just three runs.

59
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: Fernando Tettis Junior was struck out three times by three

60
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: different Marlins, but the offense was quiet for my until

61
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: the seventh as Isan Diaz led off with a double

62
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: off of Blake Snell, who was then removed from the

63
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: game for Often Adams. Adams came in and hit John

64
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: Birdie with a pitch below the helmet on the back

65
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,559
Speaker 1: of his head as he turned to avoid the inside pitch.

66
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: He was later diagnosed with the concussion, received a few

67
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: stitches to the back of the head for some little

68
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: lesions back there, and John Curtis came in to run. Obviously,

69
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: all the best towards John Berdi. Just a really scary moment,

70
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: just what you do not like to see in the

71
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: sport itself.

72
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,000

76
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: But as the game continued, John Curtis came in to run.

77
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: Kind of fun.

78
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: He actually scored the first run of his major league career,

79
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: just neat for relief pitcher Joe Panic, though kept getting going.

80
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: He had a single three to two with the final

81
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: Marlins batters just had four hits in the game. A

82
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: real theme that the organization has been a lack of hitting,

83
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: as the Marlins themselves have failed to score runs and

84
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: a lot of their affiliates are towards the bottom of

85
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: their respective leagues as well. Speaking of the minor leagues,

86
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jumbos from game was postponed last night due

87
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: to weather. While in Pensacola, Jake Eder got the start

88
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: for the Blue wa who he wasn't as effective as

89
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: he has been, allowed four runs in a little bit

90
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: over four innings, six strikeouts, three walks. ERA is still

91
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: under two, so obviously no real setback, but you know,

92
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: just a start. Andrew macinveille did also get into this

93
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: game for the Bluejo, who the other part of that

94
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: Adam Sinberg Corey Dickerson trade. He's been good for the

95
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: Bluejo who's his walk rate has been a little high.

96
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: The offense did sport some pop as Bladet hit a double,

97
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: as did Nick Fortes. Riley Mahanon even had two doubles

98
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: of his own. The team on the whole, The team

99
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: on the whole scored three runs.

100
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: While the Biscuits had five. In Beloit, M. D.

101
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: Johnson got the start for the Snappers, and he's been

102
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: great so far in High A. Last night he allowed

103
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: just one run in six innings, striking out nine batters.

104
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: By all means great start. As another pitcher has seemingly

105
00:06:54,480 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: emerged in this Marlins developmental system. He's shown refinement over

106
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: his last three starts at High ag since his promotion

107
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: from Jupiter, where he's brought just more and more strikeouts

108
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: as he's continued to pitch at the level obviously high

109
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: a firmly in the professional leagues. This guy belongs and

110
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: his making strides towards a promotion. Troy Johnston, on the

111
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: other hand, has been in a slump for the month

112
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: of July, hitting just one eighty eight. His high home

113
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: run totals as a high a hitter are like a

114
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: good positive note, but looking at his line, his ground

115
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: ball rate has gone way up from his promotion.

116
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 2: That can be due to many things.

117
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: Maybe there's just more break on these pitches, he's not

118
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: quite making that ideal contact, or just not getting that

119
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: same lift. There's any number of things and anither bridge

120
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: of adjustments that could simply be made to just get

121
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: him back on track as an emergent hitter in this

122
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: Marlin system that certainly could use some more pop. Checking

123
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: in also with Victor Victor Mesa, he's hitting three eighty

124
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: eight after struggling in double A, putting it back together

125
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: with the step down the latter further on in Jupiter.

126
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: Checking on the other Masa brother, Victor Mesa Junior and

127
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: he extended his team lead with RBIs with three more.

128
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: On three hits.

129
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: He's been pretty solid this season at still just nineteen,

130
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: hitting in the mid two hundreds. It's hard to say

131
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: that he's been fully a standout prospect, but at just nineteen,

132
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: he's showing signs of life with the bat. Luis Plesios

133
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: got the start as well and allowed just a single

134
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: run and another good outing for him.

135
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 2: The Complex League.

136
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: Jose Sallis if you're looking that low, he's a name

137
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: that you certainly know. He hit his first home run

138
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: in the professional leagues yesterday. Just a fun benchmark two

139
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: keep track of. Today, the twenty third, the Marlins will

140
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: again face the San Diego Padres. Game time is set

141
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: for seven to ten at lone Depot. Zach Thompson gets

142
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: the ball for Miami, facing Joe Musgrove for San Diego.

143
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 2: Prior to the.

144
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: Game, expect an announcement on a replacement for John Birdie,

145
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: who will be headed to the concussion I l a

146
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: seven day stint on that, but a replacement will be

147
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: up in the interim. Stay tuned here on the podcast

148
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: Network to hear ELI talk more about Brian Anderson's upcoming

149
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: reappearance at the major league level.

150
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: His presence at.

151
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: The hot corner has been sorely missed for this Marlins team.

152
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: That's all I have for now on big Fish Small

153
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: Pod sign off.

154
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: It's a T word all

155
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 3: M
