1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of Big Fish, Smallpot. My name

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: is at Wirdall, and today is May fifth. What we'll

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: be doing is catching you up on all of May

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 1: fourth's action and get you ready for today's games. So

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: in addition to all the action, we do have some

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: transactions to catch up with. So yesterday Miami promoted Anthony

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: Bender as Bendermania has finally reached the majors. In return,

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: Miami optioned Monte Harrison to Triple A Jacksonville, where he'll

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: likely play every day. As we check in on the

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: Smarlin's roster, we need to check in on some rehabbing pitchers.

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: So as far as pitching is concerned, and this is

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: per Craigmish of the Miami Herald, Eliezer Hernandez is throwing

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: thirty pitch bullpen sessions. Edward Cabrera is throwing twenty five

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: pitch bullpen sections six dos. Sanchez is not yet reached bullpens,

15
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: but he seems in line for something like a May

16
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: to June return to the mound, so help to the

17
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: roster might be a couple of weeks away. In the meantime,

18
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: Miami has signed the twenty nine year old left hander

19
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: Rob Zastrinsky from the Long Island Ducks to add some

20
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: deaths to their farm system, the very top of their

21
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: farm system that's been thinned by these injuries. So Miami

22
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: looked to their list of available pitchers and found who

23
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: they wanted the most. Thankfully, though, the minor league season

24
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: is now underway and Marlin's prospects can develop their skill

25
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: set in official competition, and yesterday's Minor League opening day

26
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: was frankly just a relief all around. Personally, I recommend

27
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: MiLB First Pitch application to follow this season. It's a

28
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: free download and it basically provides MLBD game day coverage

29
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: with live updates of the games. Just to catch you

30
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: up because there have been some changes in the offseason.

31
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure you already know, but this year Jacksonville the

32
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: Jumbo Shrimp will Marlin's Triple A affiliate. The Pensacola Blue

33
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: Wahoos are the Double A affiliate, The Beloit Snappers High A,

34
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: the Jupiter Hammerheads Low A so quickly running down the

35
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: farm the Jumbo Shrimp one in a blowout. Braxton Garrett,

36
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: who's made his mid leg debut, already pitched two three

37
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: and two thirds innings allowing four hits, two runs, one walk,

38
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: and striking out four. He came into some trouble in

39
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: the third, allowing three hits in a row, including a double,

40
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: and that was the damage. He came back in the fourth,

41
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: struck out two before being relieved. It's normal to see

42
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: a starting pitcher pitch for only a few innings to

43
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: start year like that. How how major league clubs ease

44
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: their young starters into this season. These are all young

45
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: starters in the minor leagues and they're still pushing the

46
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: limits of their durability for the offense. Elwin Diez and

47
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: Jesus Sanchez both head home runs and two hits each.

48
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: Eddie Alvrez also had two hits. Interestingly, that's the two

49
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: to four hitters of this Jacksonville lineup. They all have

50
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: major league baseball experience and figure to be the next

51
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: men up for the middle infield, outfield, and first base.

52
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: Monte Harrison will likely be joining that group. So a

53
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: digging deeper Pensacola was reigned out delay Max meyers much

54
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: anticipated pro debut two Tonight, May fifth, where we'll see

55
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: the third overall pick in the first round out of

56
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenties draft suit up for the first time as

57
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: a Marlins affiliated player. Up in Beloit, the Snappers were

58
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: visiting Wisconsin in fifty seven degree weather. The Bats struggled

59
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: to get going in the chili weather, as twenty three

60
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: year old Thomas Jones's home run was the only run

61
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: and half of the team's hits on the mound. Twenty

62
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: twenty third rounder Zach mccrambly made his pro debut with

63
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: a promising but inefficient eighty seven pitches over four innings

64
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: with four hits, two earned runs, two walks in seven strikeouts.

65
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: He's definitely one to follow as this season gets underway.

66
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 2: The right hander Zach mccambley, he is on the hill.

67
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: What what your score? The bottle of the first shooting?

68
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: You want two to hamble too? In there for a

69
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: called third.

70
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: Strike down in low Way. The Jupiter Hammerheads were blown

71
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: out to start the season. There's no other way to

72
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: put it, with the final score of three to thirteen.

73
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: Eighteen year old Yury Perez got the start for the Hammerheads,

74
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: and he pitched well three innings, four hits, just one

75
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: earned run, just one walk and four strikeouts for an

76
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: eighteen year old. Great debut. He was even up to

77
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: ninety seven on his fastball. The Hammerhead offense was powered

78
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: by twenty year old second baseman Oriasis Johnson, who had

79
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: two hits, including a home run, a walk, and a

80
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: stolen base, but the bullpen in fielding left more to

81
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: be desired, as the bullpen allowed twelve runs amid four

82
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: errors in the field for the Marlins themselves. The relief

83
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: was felt as Brian Anderson returned in the nine to

84
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: three win over Arizona. Offensively, the former thirnd round pick

85
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: made his presence felt immediately with the three round blast

86
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: in the first name as Sandy did his thing, pitching six,

87
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: allowing one earned run on six hits, one walk, and

88
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: I in my notes, I have one strikeout, just factually inaccurate.

89
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: He had six strikeouts, evening out his ear ERA to

90
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: two nine five on the year, and overall just doing

91
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: what Sandy does. He hit ninety nine five times and

92
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: elicited seventeen swings and misses. Then Dylan Florida came in

93
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 1: for the seventh and held the lead before an Anthony

94
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: Bass appearance in the eighth, in which he failed to

95
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: record an out blew the save before Richard Bleier came

96
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: In struck out the side. In the eighth, Miami lost

97
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: the lead, but was quick at the plate, scoring six.

98
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: In the eighth, Miguel Rojas led off the inning with

99
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: a double. Jesus Aguilar followed with an RBI single, Corey

100
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: Dickerson with an RBI single. In Arizona tried to keep

101
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: the lead manageable, but the damage had been done after

102
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: the two runs they struck out. Adam Devall intentionally walked

103
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: Brian Anderson and got a flyout off the bat of

104
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: Isan ds So with two outs and two men on basse,

105
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: Lewis Brinson came to the plate and came through with

106
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: his first home run of the year to make it

107
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: eight to three, and Miami did not relent. Sandy Leone

108
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: followed with a single. A pinch it appearance by Garrett

109
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: Cooper resulted in another single and two men on base

110
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: for the innings leadoff man Miguel Rojas to come up

111
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: for his own RBI opportunity, and he came through with

112
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: the first on a first pitch change up, turned it

113
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: around for one hundred and four mile per hour single

114
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: to the outfield, his second hit of the ning time

115
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: of Marlin's record personally, I hope we see a Marlin

116
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: do it three times this year. Then after that happening,

117
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: Adam Simber came in to seal the win in the ninth. Today,

118
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: May fifth, MLB dot COM's number four most loaded farm

119
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: team is scheduled to start at the season after the

120
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: postponement yesterday as double A. Pensacola Blue Wattles are scheduled

121
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: to start at seven thirty five, featuring Max Myers pro

122
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: debut JJ Bladez. Also on that roster Peyton Burdick, Jerrering kurnecillone.

123
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: It is truly a team to watch in the majors.

124
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: Miami will face off against the Diamondbacks again at lone

125
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: De Boat Park at six point forty pm first pitch.

126
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: Miami is yet to announce a starter. They could out

127
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: for a bullpen game. That's generally been the theory floating around,

128
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: But this pitching stuff is patchment together and making it work.

129
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: For now. What they'll do is they'll face Luke Weaver

130
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: at six. We'll hear about the plan leading out the

131
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: game time. But until then, I've been eighty war at

132
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: all and we'll be back to your ears tomorrow
