1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: Hello Marlins fans, and welcome to this edition of Big 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: Fish Small Pod for Tuesday, June twenty second, two thousand 3 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: twenty one, and if you are new to the Small Pod, 4 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: he would like to give you all the information about 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: the Miami Marlins for that particular day, all season long, 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: and also hopefully for the playoffs. Yesterday was an off 7 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: day from Miami as they are coming off a series 8 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: win versus the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field over the weekend. 9 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: But today the Marlins will start a quick two game 10 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: series versus the Toronto Blue Jays, where the last time 11 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: these two teams faced off, Miami did come out on 12 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: the losing end of both games in Buffalo. But now 13 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: after scoring over twenty combined runs in the Cup series, 14 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: Miami is just looking to keep that hot streak. Miami 15 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: has had probably the best hot streak so far this 16 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: season for the club, playing the Cubs last weekend, and 17 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: Miami is looking to keep that hot streak. But now 18 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: they are going up against probably the top team offensively, 19 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: as the Blue Jays are tied first in home runs 20 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: as a team this season with over one hundred and 21 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: seven home runs, which is just incredible and not even 22 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: at the All Star break, and the Blue Jays have 23 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: just easily been one of the best offensive teams this season, 24 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: including five players with ten home runs or more and 25 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: includes probably right now the front runner for the AL MVP, 26 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: Vlad Guerrero Junior, who so far this season is batting 27 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: three thirty seven with twenty three home runs fifty nine RBIs. 28 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: And if Tomorrows want to win the game tonight, then 29 00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: stopping the offense and especially Vlad Junior, and with the offense, 30 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: we need to start now with the pitching. And the 31 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: matchup will feature off against two former All Stars. For 32 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, it will be Ross Stripling, who is 33 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: pitching so far this season with a four point six 34 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: y four ERA and a whip of one point three 35 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: run and Miami will start Sandy Alcandata, who has a 36 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: three point zero ninety R and it's coming off one 37 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: of the best performances of his career against the Cardinals 38 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: last Wednesday, when he had a complete game, but he 39 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: did suffer the loss after just giving up one run 40 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: since there was really no run support for Sandy, but 41 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: he has over a ninety innings pitch so far this 42 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: season and will be looking for a win tonight versus 43 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: the Jays, and the Margins do hold the top two 44 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: NL leaders in RB highs, which are just incredible with 45 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: Adam Duval with fifty two and a Susan Aguilar with 46 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: fifty as both players have just had just incredible seasons 47 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: so far and just a really great recent stretch of 48 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: games by Adam Duval which include two two home run 49 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 1: games back to back. And here on the part, we 50 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: have to give a shout out to Belloyd Snappers outfielder 51 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: Troy Johnston on winning the high A Central Player of 52 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: the Week by going twelve for twenty seven, which is 53 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: an average of four four four and including fourteen RBIs 54 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: for the Margins.
