My name is eight ward All, 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: and this is the show here on the Fistreps podcast 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: network where we catch you up on all things Marlins today, 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: all things Miami Marlins between May twentieth and May twenty first, 6 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: and last night, the Marlins faced the Philadelphia Phillies for 7 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: the third game of their series, the rubber match, if 8 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: you will, as Vince Velasquez of the Phillies was thenounced, 9 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: starter scratched minutes before the game, setting up David Hale 10 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: to face Sandy al Condra for the first two innings. 11 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: The pitchers exchanged zeros as Sandy closed the second just 12 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: before David Hale would come to bat, setting up Miguel 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: Rojas with another chance at David Hale in the third, 14 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: and he seized the opportunity, lifting one out of Citizens 15 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: Bank Park to put the Marlins ahead by one, the 16 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: difference in this game and giving him his third home 17 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: run of the year. A fantastic performance from Miggie, just 18 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: like this one right here, absolutely right on que a 19 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: home run to left field mcguil Rojas gives the Marlins 20 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: oh nothing, leading the third. That'll break up a rhythm too. 21 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: Garrett Cooper would follow in the fourth with his third 22 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: home run of the year, while in the fifth, Sandy 23 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: al Contra hit a pitch of Pennsylvania mile just inside 24 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: a Citizens Bank Park for his first double. While the 25 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: return of his change up defined his night on the Mount, 26 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: His change up, I'm sure you remember, it set him 27 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: apart from the Philly attack. On his six innings of work, 28 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: on an even one hundred pitches, he struck out nine 29 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: and allowed no runs. Obviously, I'm pulling a lot of 30 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: this data from Baseball Savant here on his change up, 31 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: and he brought it back to the forefront of his 32 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: arsenal with thirty nine pitches, including eight whiffs. He also 33 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: threw in some of the curveball, generating three cold strikes 34 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: on three pitches as the Phillies didn't even swing, probably 35 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: unsure what they were looking at, and he brought the 36 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: heat to generating swings and misses with both his foresaimer 37 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: and sinker, topping out at ninety nine point nine miles 38 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: an hour on the Gland gun and allowing generally weak 39 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: contact for two hits and three walks before he passed 40 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: the ball to Adam Simber in the seventh, who pitched 41 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: a hitless frame, allowing a walk and getting a strikeout, 42 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: while the new Marlin maintained his sub two era. Then 43 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: in the eighth, Ros Dettweiler came in for just one 44 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: inning of work, and in this he allowed the third 45 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: and last hit of the night, but he established three 46 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: solid pitches and show the flash of a change up 47 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: as he struck out two. While the jazz list Marlins 48 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: offense continued to hit. After scoring on the Cooper home run, 49 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: Corey Dickerson continued to get on base, raising his average 50 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: to two eighty nine on the year and adding two walks, 51 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: setting up a Garrett Cooper RBI triple, while Brian Anderson 52 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: kept the pressure on with two walks, a stolen base, 53 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: and a hit of his own. Chad Wallack got down 54 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: the action as a ground out for him was enough 55 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: to help the Marlins eke out a run in the fed, 56 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: while Garrett Cooper continued to produce in the seven, as 57 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: a ball scorched off the bat at one hundred zero 58 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: point seven miles per hour forced an error by sophomore 59 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: Alec Baum at third base, closing out the night. Zach 60 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: pop The rule five picked slider was unhittable and the 61 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: Phillies got three swings at it in three misses added, 62 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: while his sinker added to the frustration as batters came 63 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: up one, two, three and batters went down one, two, three, 64 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: three strikeouts, closing out the night Zach Popp. The Marlins 65 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: in the series beat the Phillies two to one in Philadelphia, 66 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: putting an off night by Dylan Floro in their past 67 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: and looking to New York as the New York Mets 68 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: spent today presumably deciding who was going to Miami on 69 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: their off day. Looking at MV dot com, the Mets 70 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: have yet to announce the starting pitcher for any game 71 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: of the series. Well, the Marlins have announced all of theirs, 72 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: breaking a pattern as Jordan Holloway and Cody Potee will 73 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: step into the rotation along with Pablo Lopez to start 74 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: the homestand in the upper Liners, the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 75 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: put away the Norfolk tide in ten innings, going to 76 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: eleven and four on the year. Behind their offense, A 77 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: sacrifice flying in the tenth by Monte Harrison was the 78 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: difference in the game, as closer and top of the 79 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: Jacksonville bullpen, Stephen Okart sent the Tide out with two 80 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: aims of shutout work, closing the game and continuing this 81 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: twenty nine year old's scoreless streak to start the year. 82 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: Also on the night, Jesus Sanchez had his seventh home run, 83 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: this one a more traditional outside of the park home run, 84 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: as he brought his batting average back above five hundred. 85 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: Will shortstop Luis Martey provided most of the offense. His 86 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: third three run home run was it until extras weill. 87 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: Jorge Alfaro, in another rehab start, only managed one hit 88 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: in three at bats while in pensacle of the Rocket 89 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: City trash Pandas came to visit, and that is sincerely 90 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: what they're called, and they clustered their hit sixcessfully against 91 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: starter Brandon Lebrand to score three runs. Well, the Blue 92 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: waw Who's pitching staff held on bravely, featuring prominently Dylan Brace, 93 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: a twenty three year old twenty third round draft pick, 94 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: pitching out of the bullpen in Double A after starting 95 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: the year in Bloyd He's already been promoted to this 96 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: Double A roster, and he pitched two gutsy innings.

A groundout and a strikeout two make 100 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: it the batter's game, and the bottom of the lineup 101 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: came through well.
