Speaker 1: the Fish Stripes colleague does unfiltered what did some coverage

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: for some of the Marlins games earlier this season? And

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: Kevin is great to have you on the first ever

00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: guests ever.

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: I'm hondered, man, I'm excited to thank you for having me.

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: So for the first thing, I just want to talk

16
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: to you about. Right now, we're in the middle of

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals series. Martins and Marlins and Cardinals, So what

18
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: have you seen so far from that series? Can give

19
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: us another preview for what fans can expect tonight. Between

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: Polello and Jordan Higgs.

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 3: It's been weird, man. I mean you look you look

22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 3: at that first game. No offense was produced. They got hits, definitely,

23
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: but they couldn't produce off of that.

24
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 2: Lozarda was just completely off.

25
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: It was a little bit of twenty twenty one. He

26
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 3: lose wizarda you know, a good first inning, and after

27
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: that he just he couldn't keep it up. It looked

28
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 3: like some tipping pitches maybe a little bit of that.

29
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 3: I mean, besides that, we saw Brian de Lacruz pinch

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: home run he got as a nice lott to Homery.

31
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: We all know Noah's very happy about that.

32
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 3: And then you know, then the very questionable call of

33
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 3: removing Jazz from the game as putting whoy hittel. That

34
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 3: was just weird, man, And really that that puts.

35
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: Donnie at at the stake of his job in my

36
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: opinion at least. So it's just such a weird move

37
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 2: in in my opinion at least, I don't know if

38
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: you think the same thing.

39
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 3: Man.

40
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: We talked about this a lot in the group chat.

41
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Donnie's kind of been on somewhat of

42
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: a hot seat over the last couple of years and

43
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: just getting really hot, especially how he's been handling Jazz

44
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: over the last couple of games. I think It started

45
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: back in the Giant series, just how Jazz was and

46
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: it was flow on the on the front the lineup,

47
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: and then he had a home run and then he

48
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: goes on Twitter and says, you know, uh, put me on,

49
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 1: put me higher, and then he's not in for one game.

50
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: I think that was the game right after the home run,

51
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: he wasn't in the lineup. So it's kind of it's

52
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: really been iffy between Donnie and Jazz And what would

53
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: you have done in that situation? Because pitch hitting Tory

54
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 1: Shli for Jazz, I just I don't get that. Could

55
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: have done Brian Anderson Avvey, you know, any other player.

56
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,839
Speaker 1: You could have just put him for Aggie and put

57
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: him in d H.

58
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 2: But what were.

59
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: Your thoughts really, you know after seeing that, how would

60
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: you have handled that situation?

61
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: Could have put John Birdie? Why not?

62
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 3: I mean, it's either keep Jazz or put John Birdie.

63
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: I don't get the point of putting for Htelaer in there.

64
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: I know he was the Big Boys signing, and I

65
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: think Donnie what he said is he wanted to make

66
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: something happen right away, and that definitely was not the

67
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 3: best call.

68
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: For Hitler has been one of the coldest hitters for

69
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: the team this season.

70
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 3: I mean, besides that one meaningless will run in the

71
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: ten to three loss, he hasn't done much at all,

72
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: So you have to put your hottest hitters out there,

73
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: and Jason is definitely your best hitter at the moment

74
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: alongside Hayesus Sanchez.

75
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 2: So it was just such a weird move.

76
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: And John Brady hasn't been all that bad this year,

77
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: so he would have definitely been another good option with

78
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 3: some speed that you could have as well.

79
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: And another player we have to mention, you know, you

80
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: just mentioned a shout out to NOA is Brian de

81
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: la Cruz. He's slowly been one another hotter hot hitter

82
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: for the Marlins, and he talked about Solaire. He's kind

83
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: of been almost the exact opposite in the outfield. Besides that,

84
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: I believe that one play he had in the Cardinals

85
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: game the first game when he committed like some small air.

86
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: But besides that, he's just been probably the hottest hitter

87
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: for the Marlins. And how would you have handled DSc

88
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: And where were you putting in the line of is

89
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: that he is he an every day player? Now you

90
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: put him every day every other day. What's your stance

91
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: on DFC.

92
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: You have to put him at least every other day.

93
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think they're gonna sit down a

94
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: visor or his Hilaire or even Hazus Stanches on that end.

95
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: There's way you could do that.

96
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: I mean that vs IL signing looks a little bit

97
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: worse now with the production that Dela Cruz is giving.

98
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: He's playing it incredible, and he had a little bit

99
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: of an issue in the first game with the drop catch.

100
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: But anyways, besides that, in the Anaheim series, got on

101
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: base three times on the three A bats two walks

102
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: in one RBI. You sat him down, you know, And

103
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 3: then you come to this series with the Philly series,

104
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: he gets a couple of hits, he gets on base,

105
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: he does what he has to do, and then the finals. Now,

106
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 3: the first game of that Cardinals series he hits. He

107
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 3: hits a freaking bomb. So at this point is you

108
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 3: have to play him every other day. This guy has

109
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 3: been putting up the numbers that you want a V

110
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: style to put up them.

111
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: That's not how I see it. He's giving you the

112
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: production of that you want from a VC and four

113
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: hit HILARI, where would I put him in the lineup.

114
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 2: That's a great question.

115
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: I think from five down, I wouldn't mind it around

116
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: that area. I don't think he's a top hitter like

117
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 3: a Hayes Lu Sanchez, but he's definitely.

118
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 2: That middle order to the bottom.

119
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: That would also allow Jass to move up a couple

120
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: of spots, which in the second game he died a nine.

121
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: And I was just looking at the lineup, and you know,

122
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: having Cory Hilaire, I believe, in the top of the lineup,

123
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: how do you think that situation plays out? Or is

124
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: that something you would do? Putting Horace Hilaire at the

125
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: leadoff because we saw his Su Sanchez. Darny put him

126
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: at the leadoff hitter, I believe for just a couple

127
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 1: of games. Just how would you handle that Leado position?

128
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: That's so Laiyer's job, because that's how he was with

129
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: the Brays last season. But you know, it seemed like

130
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: every f third of that hitter was you know, Albis Freeman,

131
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: Austin Riley. Just how do you put Pryce Hilaire and

132
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: who do you put in that lineup?

133
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: The top of the lineup.

134
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 3: It's it's weird. Jazz is definitely candidate to get top

135
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 3: of the lineup. I would say, I want to see whohead.

136
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: In the top. I don't mind it, I do would

137
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 2: I would like.

138
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: To see a little lower, just to see where where

139
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 3: where he's at there, how he batts, what the situation

140
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 3: could be, you know, a third or fourth guy, because

141
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: I know a really hasn't been working at that third spot.

142
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: So maybe you could bump him down to three, Aggie

143
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 3: goes a little bit lower, and you put Jazz up.

144
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: At number one, or make you row at number one,

145
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: if that's what you really want. I don't know, man,

146
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: it's just been so weird, and I mean know.

147
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: You also have the thing Miami is not a hitter

148
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 3: friendly ballpark, so there wasn't a hitter friendly ballpark, which

149
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: is truest field. Then you know Houston where you have

150
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: the Crawford Box.

151
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: It's just an easy spot to hit a homer.

152
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: He went off during that World Series and his tenure

153
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 3: with the Braves, which resulted in him earning the World

154
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: Series MVP. And that was Jesus Sanchez's first ever start

155
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: at you know, in the lineup as the number one hitter,

156
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: the lead off, that first ever in the Major League.

157
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 3: So a little bit weird that Donnie did it. I

158
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: guess he wanted to maybe recreate to see what he

159
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 3: could do there, Maybe recreate what Solair did in Atlanta

160
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 3: with Jesus. Maybe I don't know, but definitely interesting. I

161
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: would like to seem a little bit lower, just to

162
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 3: see how Solari reacts to that and if he if

163
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: he's doing it, well, don't change what's already been working.

164
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 2: That's why I said with Jazz and I'll say what's ceileire?

165
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: So before we go, Kevin, I wanted to ask you

166
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: about the matchup between and Kuna that happened down in

167
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: Triple A. Just what do you quit thoughts on them?

168
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: How do you think Meyer play it again? It's probably

169
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: the top hitter in baseball.

170
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: Meyer didn't have his best stuff, but I mean, so

171
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: have seven k's.

172
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: That's pretty damn good. The first time is a pop fly,

173
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: I know that's the center field. The second time it

174
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 3: almost it looked like a whole run from the right away.

175
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: I thought it was a homer, but then I noticed

176
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 3: it hit that wall. So I was like, thank God,

177
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 3: because we wouldn't we would not.

178
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: Hear the end of that. I'll just say that, right now,

179
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: and I.

180
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: Think the third time was another pop fly or grounder.

181
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: I didn't watch the third at that but I know

182
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: the first two that is what I saw. I mean, hey,

183
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: if that's what we're gonna see, Maximart controlled him pretty well.

184
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: I mean the only thing he.

185
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: Got was a double off of him. So I'm proud

186
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: of Maximyr. He got to face probably one of the

187
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: best major leaguers out there, maybe the top five player

188
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: in the MLB, went.

189
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: Healthy and playing at his best, Ronald Lacuna. It was

190
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: a fun little matchup. We got to see one of

191
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: the young guys and one of the young stars of

192
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: the Marlins, a minor league system going up against probably

193
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: one of the best players of the league. So it

194
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: was a cool little moment then, I would say, And

195
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: for your Marlins.

196
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: Next step for Miami is tonight at six forty pm

197
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: where the Marlins will face to Saint Louis Cardins in

198
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: the final game of that series. Jordan Hicks and Hallo Lopez.

199
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: I will be having the coverage for that on Friz Stripes.

200
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,920
