1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Today is July second, and this is Big Fish Small Pod. 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: I'm at Wardahl and I'm here to talk with you 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: about the Miami Marlins. Wanted to catch you up on yesterday, 4 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: get you set for tonight, an address anything that might 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: have just slipped your attention or just made it past 6 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: our focus here at Fish Stripes, which is to cover 7 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: pretty much everything. So let's get started. Early in the day, 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: the Marlins first pitches were thrown at the Florida Complex 9 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: League as the Marlins face the Nationals. This league is 10 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: largely international prospects taking the field. This is the second 11 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: game of the season for that Marlins squad, and there's 12 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: not a lot of coverage for the league yet, but 13 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: it's good to just note that a Cyrus Johnson, who 14 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: was decently outplayed at Jupiter, is on the roster, as 15 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: is Jose Sallas, who's been a herald of prospect. He 16 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: has three hits on the day yesterday, including a double, 17 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: and overall, the Marlins just out hit the Nationals for 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: ten runs, getting runners against every Nationals pitcher and securing 19 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: their first win of the year. Well, elsewhere in the 20 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: organization the day got going. The Marlins did pay way 21 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: in Chin his last deferred payment from his contract for 22 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: fifteen million. Just a great wild note on Bobby Benia 23 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: Day no less. But as the day got going, the 24 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: Marlins we're looking to the rubber game against the Phillies, 25 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: Joe Hannick's second game as a Marlin. The Phillies selected 26 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: Brandon Kinsler's contract while Matt Moore was scheduled to replace 27 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: Zach Eiflan, who was having some cold like symptoms. A 28 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: lot of players have been lately, saydy Rojas to name 29 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: a couple, as this season is reaching a point of fatigs. 30 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: But anyways, the Marlins had an unexpected rest last night 31 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: as rain postponed the game in Philly. It'll be played 32 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: as part of a doubleheader on July sixteenth, coming out 33 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 1: of the All Star break. But last night the Marlins 34 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: had a night of unexpected rest. Maybe a time to 35 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: get to know the new teammate Stephen Okurtain, Joe Panic, 36 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: or maybe some time just to check in with yourself 37 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: after a it'd been to the crazy couple of weeks 38 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: in baseball that has seen just systemic changes. 39 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: Big Fish Small Pod is brought to you by three 40 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 2: oh five Candles. Get ten percent off your entire order 41 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 2: at three oh five candles dot com with discount code 42 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: fish stripes. 43 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: As the Marlins got some rest, the Jumbo Shrimp also 44 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: faced rain out and the blue Wall who's played the 45 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: highest level game in the Marlins organization. Jake Eater got 46 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: the start and got into trouble early, walking the first 47 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: two batters he faced on seven well the first batter 48 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: on seven pitches. Then he threw a wild pitch to 49 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: Bryce Terrang the next hitter and eventually lost to Rang 50 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: for his second walk. Deflated start to two batters, two 51 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: walks and a wild pitch, the coach came out to 52 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: the mound, got a moment, talked with Jake, and he 53 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: put it together to get out of the inning with 54 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: two strikeouts and a forceound. After the game, Jake seemed 55 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: to credit his ineffectiveness with how he throws his slider 56 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: during his pregame bullpen. As a fisher on the farm, 57 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: Jake has the ability to quickly reflect pinpoint and correct 58 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: a problem as he settled down to lower his er 59 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: even further to one oh three. From that moment. On 60 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: the Biloxi Schuckers batters only reached base on a couple 61 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: of singles, in a walk against Jake in his five 62 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: scoreless innings. His success now looking another tick closer to sustainable, 63 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: as his mental aptitude offers more solid ground to believe in. 64 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: Another good young Marlin's pitcher Andrew mcinnvale also made his 65 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: debut for the organization, pitching a clean inning on fourteen pitches, 66 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: recording three outs, including a strikeout. But the Blue Wallhoue 67 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: hitters were out matched and one hit, primarily by the 68 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: twenty nine year old five foot nine pitcher Andy Otero, 69 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: out of Panama and actually out of affiliated ball since 70 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. The Brewers picked him off this past offseason 71 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: as something of a reclamation project, and his numbers to 72 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: this point have been outstanding, and he might deserve some 73 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: credit for shutting down this Pensacola offense. Its only j 74 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: d Osborne managed to hit. Bladet did have two locks 75 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: for those of you who want to check in on 76 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: just the top and in high A. The Snappers played 77 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: an intense late inning nailbier against the Timber Rattlers as 78 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: a solid start by Kyle Nichols, whose seven strikeouts, six 79 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: innings and two runs proved I mean, how do you 80 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: argue with the start leg that he just didn't get 81 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: run support, which changed in an instant for Beloit on 82 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: Griffin Conine's sixteenth home run of the year in the 83 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: eighth inning, now leading the league with his fourth straight 84 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: game with a home run sixteen total on the year, 85 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: put the Snappers ahead four to two, but Zach Wolfe 86 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: was not able to lock down in the win in 87 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: his second inning, as the Timber Rattlers brought in two 88 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: runs in the ninth. With the game tied headed to 89 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: extras the bottom of the eleventh, Connor Scott came up 90 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: with another RBI opportunity, and he came through with his 91 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: second RBI hit of the night to walk it off. 92 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: While the Jupiter Hammerheads finally got a game off, having 93 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: faced rain since Sunday, their scheduled double header turned into 94 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: an abbreviated single game with even more rain. Dax Fulton 95 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: was the starter, and he was pressed hard by the 96 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 1: Tampa Tarpans, who are thirty three and fifteen to start 97 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: the year. With the tough assignment, his start was limited 98 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: to just three innings as he pitched three shutout innings 99 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: to start with just one strikeout as Tampa hitters couldn't 100 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: get beat. In the fourth, they caught up with Dax 101 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: as he allowed three consecutive singles then a walk to 102 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: end his night on seventy seven pitches. Jesus E. Sanchez 103 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: came in to limit the damage, and he did not, 104 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: as Tampa would continue to score, culminating in a grand 105 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: slam against Sanchez. On the whole that fourth anan, Tampa 106 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: would score seven runs and that was enough as the 107 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: Jupiter Hammerheads were also one hit, with just the rehabilitating 108 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: Monte Harrison getting on the board with a double. Looking 109 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: around the league, of the twenty twenty one All Star 110 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: Game starters were announced, No Marlins are a part of that, 111 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: and you the fan are as they were overlooked in 112 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: the fan vote As the league looks to this twenty 113 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: twenty one All Star Game. At course, we'll find out 114 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: exactly who will represent Miami in Colorado in the coming days, 115 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: as the Marlins will close out the first half of 116 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,679 Speaker 1: the season with a run of games ten games straight, 117 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: three in Atlanta, four back at home at lone Depot 118 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: Park against none other than the Los Angeles Dodgers, then 119 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: three more against Atlanta, this time at home. To bring 120 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: us to that break tonight, we'll get a Miami team 121 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: with another's day rest, looking to even it out against 122 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: their Southeastern rival. Twenty twenty one has in just a word, 123 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: this Atlanta Braves season has been upsetting as they sit 124 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: at thirty nine and forty one, a far drive from 125 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: their National League East championship in twenty twenty. They've also 126 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: lost an All Star Game due to MLB's action to 127 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: stand up against voting restrictions in the state, as well 128 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: as some off field horrors bringing focus away from the field. Tonight, 129 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: the Marlins have a chance to gain some ground against 130 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: this third place club Atlanta.
