1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Today is May nineteenth, and you're listening to Big Fish,

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: Small Pot, the daily recap show here as a part

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: of the Fish Stripes coverage of the twenty twenty one

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: Miami Marlins season. And if you're here, you're a die

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: hard and I'm a two wordl And yesterday left us

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: diehards a lot to sort out. Yesterday was practically the

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: quarter mark of the season, as one hundred and sixty

8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: two can't quite evenly be split across a quarter, we

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: kind of have to settle for a little bit of

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: a game over that. And in the National League East

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: to this point, the Marlins currently are in fourth place,

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: four and a half games behind the leading New York Mets,

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: in what has been the tightest division race in Major

14
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: League Baseball. As of today, the eighteen and twenty three

15
00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: Marlins have scored one hundred and sixty one runs the division,

16
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: ahead of the Nationals and Mets, and they have allowed

17
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty one runs, good for second in

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: the division, ahead of the Phillies, Braves, and Nationals. Last

19
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: night on the Mound, Cody Poteet got the start as

20
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: a long time Marlin's minor league who's finally climbing into

21
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: the major league picture. This was his second start, and

22
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: he pitched a solid five shutout innings, allowed just three

23
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: hits in his peripheral two walks to three strikeouts show

24
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: he isn't so much unhittable against the elite as he

25
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: is hard to square up. With an average exit velocity

26
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: of eighty nine point six that puts him in like

27
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: the eighty third percentile across the league. Pretty pretty good.

28
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: Seems like he might belong. The game itself didn't go

29
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: as hoped as a seven run eighth inning for the

30
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: Phillies in what was meant to be dil in floors

31
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: chance to lock it down, but that didn't even spun

32
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: the game out of control as the Marlins offense left

33
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: more to be desired. They struck out ten times against

34
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: Zach Wheeler and went just two for nine with runners

35
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: in scoring position. Jazz Chisholm Junior did have his fifth

36
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: home run of the year off of another one hundred

37
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: mile an hour pitch, just like at his chest. Amazing

38
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: how he does it, But Sandy Leon Magnarina Sierra stood

39
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: out as players who missed opportunities. Both left three runners

40
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: on base in their hitless nights. The final score was

41
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: eight to three, but let's quickly move past that, as

42
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: we can all kind of agree that there's more interesting

43
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: things to talk about. In per Savannah mccanna at mp

44
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: dot com, Jazz had some nice words about his rehab

45
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: time in Jacksonville. He said, quote, everybody's doing their part

46
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: in the lineup, and I mean, it's ridiculous. I got

47
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: down there and I was another add on piece to

48
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: what they already had. They have more than enough power

49
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: and more than enough hits and everything. They were just

50
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: doing it. It was no pitch you could throw by anyone,

51
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: no curveball you could put in the zone. It was

52
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: just everything was getting hit. And in tonight's four to

53
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: zero win, Jesus Sanchez continued to rape with his sixth

54
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: home run of the year, this one and inside the parker.

55
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: That was the first run and the game decider for

56
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: the Jumbo Tromp. The twenty six year old Brian Navaretto

57
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: also continued his hot start to the year with two

58
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: hits overall, raising his batting average two three sixty seven

59
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: as the team cruised behind Eliezer Hernandez in his first

60
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: rehabilitation start coming back from biceps inflammation. If you remember,

61
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: he went three innings through forty four pitches, struck out four,

62
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: walked to and held the Norfolk Tides hitless in the game.

63
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: He was followed by Nick Knightert, who closed the game

64
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: with six shutout innings, allowed six hits and collected four strikeouts.

65
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: Really is great to see the strikeouts for Eliezer. It

66
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: means he's beating the hitters at this level and overall,

67
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: Eliezer is on track to build his arm up over

68
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: a couple of starts in Triple A before looking to

69
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: the majors. In Double A Pensacola, Max Meyer got his

70
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: third start of the year, and with eighty four pitches

71
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: he covered five and two thirds innings. He struck out

72
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: a career high nine and walked just one as the

73
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: trash Pandas scattered their hits and didn't manage to run

74
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: against Max Meyer. At the plate, Peyton Burdick had a

75
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: breakout night with three hits, including two doubles and a

76
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: home run against the Yeah the twenty twenty tenth overall

77
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: pick read debt meurs of the Angels, who was you

78
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: know a trash panda? As the Blue Hawho's ten innings.

79
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: Also of note, reliever Zach Lebon, who began the season

80
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: with Beloit as something of a closer for them, pitched

81
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: in his first double A action tonight. He pitched an

82
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: inning in a third, struck out two, and the twenty

83
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: four year old has now reached Double A in just

84
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: nineteen professional innings, dating back to his time in rookie ball.

85
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen with Beloit, the High A Snappers faced

86
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: the Cedar Rapids Colonel's in Cedar Rapids, Zach mccambley got

87
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: the start, and his night was defined by the four

88
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: home runs he allowed, four solo home runs, that is,

89
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: as catcher Yaer Carmango clearly had his number, following up

90
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: his second inning home run with a sixth inning, first

91
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: pitch swinging home run. Overall, on Zach's knight, his six

92
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: innings of work also held eight total hits, including four

93
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: solo home runs. The strike thrower didn't allow walk and

94
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: he struck out six with fifteen strikeouts. Though the Bloyd

95
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: offense didn't get it going. They scored just two runs

96
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: and were no match for the Colonels. Further out there, Jupiter,

97
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: and I mean far out there, we're talking about Jupiter.

98
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: They visited Daytona Beach last night, faced the Tortugas, the

99
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: Reds affiliate, and they went to the field behind the

100
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: electric six foot eight teenager Yury Perez, who again impressed

101
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: on his sixty seven pitches. He struck out eight batters

102
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: in four innings, allowed just two hits, one earned run,

103
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: and one walk. He was ticketed with the loss as

104
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: the Hammer had struggled offensively in some ways. They were

105
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: led by leadoff hitter Nasi Nunez's three strikeout night. Though

106
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: of note, Victor Mesa Junior, the younger Victor Mesa did

107
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: hit his first home run of the year, his second

108
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: professional Overall, he has over two hundred at bats and

109
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: this was his second home run and just thirty names.

110
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: His whole profile has been that he needs to grow

111
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: and develop and build his frame up. So with a

112
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: home run in thirty at bats versus a home run

113
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: in two hundred at bats in twenty nineteen, there might

114
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: be something to pay attention to, and then this might

115
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: be like illegitimate development happening. Also in Jupiter, Tommy Eveld

116
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: pitched effectively in his first professional action of the year.

117
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: This is a reliever who has pitched as high as TRIPLEA.

118
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: He's rehabbing a bicep injury, and in the season previous series,

119
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: Eli Sussman said he expected him to be in the

120
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: major league bullpen by the end of the year, but

121
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: last night his journey started with Jupiter. Also of note,

122
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: just on the day Miami did play Lewis Brinson on

123
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: the ale with his hand soreness thing they needed to

124
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: shut him down, so they did. Miami also gave some

125
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: updates on other injured players. Part of this is from

126
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: an article by Christina at MLB dot com. Jorge Alfaro

127
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: will resume his hitting and throwing program today. Edward Cabrera

128
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: is expected to face live hitters this week in a

129
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: bullpen session as he works his way towards the rotation

130
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: six zero. Has not yet to throw off a mound,

131
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: but he is still expected to return in June as

132
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: his throne progression has been ongoing. Starling Marte is now

133
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: hitting off of a pitching machine, still kind of uncertain

134
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: when he'll return, and as also today, Jorge Guzman is

135
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: expected to throw a bullpen session tonight at seven oh five.

136
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: What we all want to talk about, Miami will look

137
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: to even the series against the Phillies as they send

138
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: Trevor Rodgers to the mound to face Bryce Harper, Andrew

139
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: McCutcheon and the Phillies starting pitcher Zach Flynn again. The

140
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: game is at seven o five and the Marlins will

141
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: look to just put last night behind them and even

142
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: out the series, both literally in this week and on

143
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: the season. As is the first time the Marlins and

144
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: Phillies have met. We'll see how this plays out as

145
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: Miami takes a patient approach with its rehabilitating players and

146
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: with its potentially graduating minor league players, but has no

147
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: intention of losing sight on twenty twenty one, As always,

148
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: I've been at word all. Thank IF for listening, and

149
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: we'll be back to your ears tomorrow
