1
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome Decision a Big Fish Small Pod or Tuesday,

2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: March twenty six, twenty twenty four, and if you're into

3
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: the Small Pod, he really like to give you all

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: the information about the Marlins for that particular day, all

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 1: season long and ten minutes or less and Marlins fans.

6
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: On this episode of the Small Pod, I will be

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: going in detail on some pictures during spring training, who

8
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: impressed me the most and players you should all be

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: looking forward to watching this season. First up for the

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: in this list in this episode, I want to talk

11
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: about Ryan. Whether it's someone who if you could say

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: was a pitching MVP, was definitely that for the Marlins

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: this spring, someone who's going to go into a higher

14
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: role than he was last season since being traded from

15
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: the Padres. Was struggling for the Marlins last season, but

16
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: now having a full off season under their coaching staff

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: with mel Is now proved himself to be a part

18
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: of this rotation and a big part of it, being

19
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: the number three in the rotation for the Marlinds over

20
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: guys like Max s Meyer, over guys like Trevor Rodgers.

21
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: Definitely to strut the season because the Marlons do have

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: a good amount of injuries on the pitching side, with

23
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: Sandy Yuri Braxt, Garrett, Eddie Cabra, and players who are

24
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: coming off of injury like I just mentioned was Trevor

25
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: Rodgers and Max Meyer. Bastball right by Lemayu one down

26
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: here in the first and with Ryan Rathers you could

27
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: see here he led the Marlins and innings, pitched eighteen innings,

28
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: so that really shows you the Marlins didn't want to

29
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: have a really good look at Ryan Weathers this spring training,

30
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: the front office, the coaching staff to see what he

31
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: could do with an extended portion on the mound, and

32
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: he really just performed very well to a three era,

33
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: striking out twenty one, only walking four in eighteen innings,

34
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: which is a good number there. His whip was pretty

35
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: good with Ryan Weathers someone I was really impressed at

36
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: his velo hit I believe ninety five ninety seven. And

37
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: with him, he has to show a way to prove

38
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: himself that he deserves to be on his rotation long term.

39
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: If he continues to do what he did this spring

40
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: and put it to the season, they're giving him a

41
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: very big role, putting him at number three spot again.

42
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: We will see what happens as maybe the months go

43
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 1: on and we get into the summer, if he's still

44
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: in the rotation, if he dropped a little lower, of

45
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: course with guys coming back from injury, but if he

46
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: showcases himself, if he continues to do what he's done

47
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: this spring in the major league level, then there's no

48
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: way you can put him down. You have to give

49
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: him those starts. And Ryan Weathers this spring has really

50
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: shown it. He was easily you could say, the best

51
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: starting pitcher for the mare Orleans. They gave him eighteen

52
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: innings goes to twenty innings five or you could say

53
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: around five more than the next pitcher who will get

54
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: into But Ryan Weathers really for me with a star

55
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: for the Marlins this spring and the next player I

56
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: want to mention this right under him on this list,

57
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: you were looking at eight. J. Puck, the converted reliever

58
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: coming in for as a starter for the Marlins, and

59
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: it's the number two start you mentioned Rod rather than

60
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: the number three a G. Puck has even a bigger

61
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: role than that, as the number two started coming in

62
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: as a reliever for the Marlins last season. Someone who

63
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: did come up as a starter in the open A's

64
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: organization before being converted to a reliever. Was a starter

65
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: in the University of Florida, but this is his first

66
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: full time role as a starter in the major leagues.

67
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: Now the Marlins are relying on him to throw over

68
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: one hundred innings easily. For the Marlins, they're trying to

69
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: get five six innings out of him per start, and

70
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: that's going to be very fast thing to watch. But

71
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: if you just look at the small sample size from

72
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: aj Puck this spring, he showcased what he could do again,

73
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: only thirteen and two thirds of an innings, but twenty

74
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: three strikeouts. That is an insane number to only do

75
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: that in thirteen innings. Led the Marlins in strikeouts walking forward,

76
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: which might be a bit munch of thirteen innings, but

77
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: you take those strikeouts, you take the low era with

78
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: those walks only two earned runs, giving up twelve hits.

79
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: AJ Puck Vila was very good this spring. Someone also

80
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: showed relatively good control from the lefty, and aj Puck

81
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: really showed himself out to be the number two starter

82
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: for the Marlins. They will be relying on him a

83
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: lot again. Lots of injuries on the starting side. We'll

84
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 1: see what happens to AJ Puck as the season progresses.

85
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: But this is someone who looks to be in the

86
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: rotation for a good part of the season. If not

87
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: all of it getting get maybe you can get one

88
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty innings. That's what the Marlins do need

89
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: out of a J. Puck. Again, he's not gonna go

90
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: out there give you seven to eight innings, but on occasion,

91
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: if he can give you a seventh inning, if the

92
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: majority of his starts they somewhere around six innings, if

93
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: a bad start is five inning game. I mean, you

94
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: take that from the guy who just became a starter,

95
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: who threw around fifty sixty innings last season to now

96
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: someone who is the second in the rotation after Hayslus Louzardo.

97
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: But really great to see from ADJ Puck. Top two

98
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: guys right there, Brothers and AJ Puck look to do

99
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,559
Speaker 1: big things in this rotation for the Marlins, and another

100
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: person who's doing who's looking to do big things. And

101
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: we can probably even go another five to six minutes

102
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: just talking about this guy that's six though Sanchez, Yes

103
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: you heard that right, six though Sanchez and pressed in

104
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,239
Speaker 1: spring training, we have not seen him in a major

105
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: league game since twenty twenty. We have not seen him

106
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: pitch since that one inning in Pensacola to end last season.

107
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: If you even want to count that as that was

108
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: just to get him on the mount. See what he has.

109
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: He's not His arm isn't a cut in two. But no,

110
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: it is incredible to comeback that six zero has had

111
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: going up to ninety eight miles, ninety seven miles per hour,

112
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: not giving up a single run, walking three, which I

113
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: guess you know, coming back from what he's come back.

114
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: Three walks? You take those? Do you take those? From

115
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: what you're getting with six those Santas. The vilo is there.

116
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: He looks like the man that has earned himself a

117
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: spot in the roster, and he has. He has earned

118
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: a spot wearing a new number. But with six the

119
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: Santas coming into the ball. But don't expect him to

120
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: go ahead and do high leverage situations right away, or

121
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: someone will give you two three innings right away, but

122
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: someone who could start in low leverage situations just to

123
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: see what he could do, just to see if six

124
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: those Santas even available to come out and pitch from

125
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: the bullpen. Two three days of that velocity is consistent.

126
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: If he's continually to hit ninety eight community ninety seven,

127
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: can he even hit ninety nine again? But to see

128
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: six Tho chances go from where he was at six

129
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: months ago, a year ago to now being in the

130
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: roster for the Marlins again, you could put it to injuries.

131
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: But with there are injuries, there are opportunities. In six

132
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: O Sanchos grasped, grabbed the brass ring and really showcased

133
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: himself to be part of this roster and someone that

134
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: people are gonna be looked forward to watching. I can

135
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: I could probably say confidently that maybe there are some

136
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: people who could go to Opening Day, who will go

137
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: to games looking to watch Sancho's pitch. He was that

138
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: guy back in twenty twenty. He was supposed to be

139
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: what maybe Yuri was comparing six Centsus to Pedro Martinez,

140
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. He had that kind of stuff

141
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: that Marmons traded away JT. Real Muto to get six

142
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: still Sanchez that highly thought after and to see him

143
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: now finally pitch in Marlon's Park with fans will be

144
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: very incredible to see full circle moment for six Soo Sanchez.

145
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: But again, can he do it for a full season.

146
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: How many innings are we getting from six SOO Sanchez

147
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: this season? Will he be injured not? I would hopefully not.

148
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: But I have high hope for SIXO Sanchez from a

149
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: guy who a lot of people said will never make

150
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: the roster. When is he gonna get cut? Is he

151
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: gonna get traded to? Now? Is in the opening day

152
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: roster for the Marlons? Incredible? Sir Ryan weathers aj puck

153
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: SIXO Sanchez. Hats off to you three incredible spring and

154
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: hopefully going to have an incredible twenty twenty four. I

155
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: am Daniel Roderiez and this is big fish, small pod.

156
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: As always, go fish, the don to tan the
