1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Hello Marlins fans, and welcome to the edition of Big

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: Fish Small Pod four Thursday, September first, two thousand and

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: twenty two. And if you are new to the Small Pod,

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: he would like to give you all information about the

5
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: Marlins for that particular day all season long, in ten

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: minutes or less. Marlins fans, Today is September one, which

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: means rosters are officially expanded. As recording this rosters have

8
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: not been announced yand or the auditions for the Marlins.

9
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: So if I had to give a prediction, I think, honestly,

10
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: someone that might be coming up or well bringing back.

11
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: I think Avy Garcia could be someone if he's healthy

12
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: and they want to bring him back. He could be

13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: reading standing off the al. The second player could possibly

14
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: be relief picture. I can see them bringing a reliever

15
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 1: in to just get more innings, making like a Josh

16
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: Shimpson or or maybe they bring back Brian Hoeing or

17
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: whatnot if I believe he cleared, but still I believe

18
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: or reliever, and maybe even you may even bring into

19
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: hitters outfielders next use me Hurrah Brindola, Cruz his sus Sanchez.

20
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: They could bring maybe both or one of those guys

21
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 1: back also, but it looks to be seen that we're

22
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: definitely gonna get a familiar face back to the roster.

23
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: I believe Abby of DC and his sus Sante's at

24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: the very least one of them are gonna be in

25
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: the expanded roster. But to talk about on field action,

26
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: let's go a little bit and review. Talk about this

27
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: series that just happened between the Miami Marlin and Tampa

28
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: Bay Rays, and wow, wow, wow. If there was ever

29
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: a way to tell the difference between these two organizations,

30
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: if you wanted someone to tell you the difference between

31
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: the Marlins and Tampa Ba Rays, I would just show

32
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: them this series. It was just really incredible that you

33
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: could just tell the difference almost just like that when

34
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: looking at both these games, especially the one from last night.

35
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: Marlins did lose that one in the tenth inning two

36
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: to one, So the Marlins weren't able to hold the

37
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: raised two runs, which is something Marlins have done a

38
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: lot of other teams, just holding into you know, four three,

39
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: you know, very few runs, manageable runs. But Miami could

40
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: not get anything offensively as they only scored run one run,

41
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: which was a John Birdie home run. In the bottom

42
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,279
Speaker 1: of these six.

43
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 2: And Bernie would fly ball out to the field. This

44
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 2: one is carrying back at the wall home run for

45
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: John Bunny that tie it up in the sixth.

46
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Not great for Miami hitting wise. Only five hits, yes,

47
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: and two of them came from John Birdie and two

48
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 1: of them came from Charles the Blanc. So four hits

49
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: two players. Everyone else combined for one hit. That is

50
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 1: not what you want to see. Zero hits from multiple

51
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: people in the middle of the order. Everyone from John

52
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: Birdy to Charles le Blanc in that middle did not

53
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: have a single hit or it's just incredible to see.

54
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: Just you don't win games like that, even if you

55
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 1: hold the opposing team to two runs and you only

56
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: get two hits from two If you get four hits

57
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: from two players and you don't get anything from the

58
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: middle of your order, you're not gonna win baseball games.

59
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: It is simple as that. If they're bright side on this,

60
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: I would say Trevor Rodgers making his return from the

61
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: IL from his rehab assignments, giving up five hits, one

62
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: on run, five strikeouts, one walk. Really great performance from

63
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Trevor Rodgers, one of his better ones this season. And

64
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: it did feel a little bit like the old Trevor

65
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: Rodgers was back. Maybe not fully to twenty twenty one

66
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: All Star, but very close to that, I would say.

67
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say overall, but definitely from this start it

68
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: looked like twenty twenty one Trevor Rodgers. At the very least.

69
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: Tanner Scott came in, so he looked like he might

70
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: be the seventh inning guy moving forward again. Very dominant,

71
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: zero hit, zero earned runs, two strikeout. So Tanner Scott

72
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: really looks to be in that seventh inning role that

73
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: was previously occupied by Anthony Bass. But if you want

74
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: to talk about this series as a whole, not pretty.

75
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: Marlin scored a total of three runs in these three

76
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: in these two games where the Ray scored nine, nine

77
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: to three, that's differential of minus six in this series

78
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: for the Marlins. That is not good. It shouldn't even

79
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: tell you. In the beginning of the series, the first game,

80
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: Sean mcclanah had Cy Young, one of the signing favorites

81
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: along with Justin Vermlanders did not even play in that game.

82
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: He was leaded to start and then a few minutes

83
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes before he was even going to

84
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: go on the mound while he was still in the

85
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: bullpen warming up, felt some discomfort in his left shoulder,

86
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: and then that was it. And then they brought in

87
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: Marlin's legend Sean Armstrong. Really, you know, pretty nice little

88
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: start there for the Raise was just incredible. Use you know,

89
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: see how he goes with the Marlins giving up its

90
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: hom runs whatnot having a high ra gets picked. The

91
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: Raise plays starts against the Marlins, a spot start, three innings,

92
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: three hits, zero runs, one strikeout. Insane and I really

93
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: tells you what the Marlins they can't hit off a

94
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: guy who had a very high yarring and someone they

95
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: know very well, and Sharon Armstrong. But it's just really

96
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: incredible that the Marlins just really tells you the difference

97
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: at Tampa Bay Rays. They can lose their top pitcher

98
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: and then continue to win the game and still get

99
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: hits and hits and hits and hits is what they

100
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: did get. They got three from Randy or Resirainia in

101
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: that first game, two from former Marlin's legend here Ramirez,

102
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: two from Yandi Diez, three from Jose City who also

103
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: had a home run, and Randy excuse me also had

104
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: a home run, so incredible. When you just look at

105
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: that game, that'should tell you everything. That first game, I

106
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: think really exemplifies the difference between these two teams. The

107
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: Rays could still lose their best pitcher and still throw

108
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: a really great game, where the Marlins they had Sustasato

109
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: not the best game. Six hits, five under runs, excuse me,

110
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: five runs, three or in four strikeouts, two walks on

111
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: six innings pits. So you did have the innings, but

112
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: it was just overall a little difficult from Miami. Cole

113
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: Schltzer came out one inning, one on a run, two

114
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,559
Speaker 1: strike ups, three hits, almost the same thing for Andrew

115
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: Nardi but three strikeouts for him. Miami did get nine

116
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: and hits in total, but they can only get two

117
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: runs from that. I think this really tells you the

118
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: difference between these two teams. Well, you don't even have

119
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: to look at the box score, you just look at

120
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: the records. Gray's already in seventy wins fifty seven losses,

121
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: second in the AL East int and closer to the

122
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: American League Wildcard or excuse me, are into my at

123
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: the top of the American League Wildcard it's just so

124
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: stacked there in a wildcard like any team is really

125
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: could get that top spot. And you look at the

126
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: Marlins sixteen games back of the wild card, which is

127
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: just insane, twenty seven games back from first place in

128
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: the division. So this season I believe it was all lost.

129
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: Playing just to see what the young guys can do.

130
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: Hit Sandy Thatt saion, which he deserves, and just see

131
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen for twenty twenty three. Maybe they can't

132
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: pull it off. Who knows that to go into magical

133
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: winning streak like the Oakland Agast did so long ago.

134
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: Maybe it can happen, But that's for right now. Things

135
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: aren't looking good for Miami to end off twenty twenty two,

136
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: but they will be back tomorrow against the Atlanta Braves,

137
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: which should be a very very interesting series because whenever

138
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: those two teams go out, there's something something always happens.

139
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: And plus Friday, you're getting a send you Start which
