1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to this edition of Big Fish Small

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: Pod four Tuesday, June twenty eighth, two thousand, twenty two.

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: And if you are new to the Small Pod, here

4
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: we'd like to give you all the information about the

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: Marlins for that particular day all season long, in ten

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: minutes or less. And yesterday did not farewell against the

7
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: Saint Louis Cardinals when it was the first game of

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: a three game series. I I really wanted to go

9
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: over this game really quick. I had other things to

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: talk about, but it really is quick. I wanna talk

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: about Pablo Lopez and just everything that happened this game

12
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: really was pitching Pablo Lopez five innings, six hits, five

13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: old runs, five strikeouts, one walk, and his average excusing

14
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: his ERA is up to two nine eight. It was

15
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: one point in the year where Paulo's e RA was

16
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: under two for a good amount of time, just hovering

17
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: at two, right under two, and now he is inching

18
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: closer to having an ERA above three. For Pablo Lopez,

19
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: he has not had the best of games as of

20
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: late for Miami. He had this game at Saint Louis

21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: five earned runs. He did have a really good game

22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: and Colorado, you give up nothing. He had the Mets

23
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: game six earned runs, Houston two earned runs, San Francisco

24
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: four earned runs. So that's a lot of runs, uh

25
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: for Pablo Lopez, and it's he has potentially taken himself

26
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: out of All Star contention, which I know is inc

27
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: crazy to even say, but Pablo has really not performed,

28
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: maybe to the standard we have helped with from the

29
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: beginning when he had when he was Pitcher of the

30
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 1: Month in the National League. But if Pablo really could

31
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: just maybe he have a I believe maybe one, two,

32
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: maybe even three starts left before the All Star break.

33
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: If you can just get two really good starts, she

34
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be perfect, Yeah, he doesn't have to

35
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: have to go eight innings, three hits, two runs. Now,

36
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: just good six innings seven maybe on one of them,

37
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: and he should definitely get a nod to be in

38
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: the All Star Game. Obviously Fanny an All Star has

39
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: to be and Jackson Josh Chisholm is leading all National

40
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: League second basement in votes, which is really incredible to see.

41
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: If just think a Marlin there is just insane and

42
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: jazz that shows a popularity and marketability of jazz Chisholm

43
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: to be first in all second basement guys like Jeff

44
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: McNeil on Zi Alby's who's unfortunately injured, and also Jeff

45
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: McNeil and also Jazz right now, I believe, but that's

46
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: really crazy to think about. I'm having a Marlin start

47
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: the All Star Game. I haven't had that, I believe

48
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: in a while. And also so just for Miami, they

49
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: are getting players back. One of them, Brian Anderson, was

50
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: activated off the i L and played in this game.

51
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: Luke Williams had to get options down to Triple A,

52
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: so if you're a Luke Williams fan, you can catch

53
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: him playing on a Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. And if you're

54
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: a Burry Mission fan, well come back here to Miami

55
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: because he is playing for your Marlins. And it's really

56
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: crazy to think about just everything going on with the

57
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: Marlins with all these injuries. We also have Joy Wendell

58
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: who's due to come back soon, and you know, just

59
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: hopefully these these hitters and these players can be breathed

60
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: life to Miami because that's really what they need. They

61
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: need hitting. Their pitching has just been really phenomenal so

62
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: far in the year, and by pitching, I just mean starters.

63
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: If we go here, we want to talk about. Is

64
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: Richard Bleier a part of the Saint Louis game win

65
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: inning to hits, tour runs. His ERA is now five

66
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: five nine, Yeah, pats another deep left The man is

67
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: red hot home run one, Yeah, Pats two home runs

68
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: and he's driven in five to night. First home run

69
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: against a lefty this year. He signed a guaranteed contract

70
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: I believe around spring training time in the offseason, so

71
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: not really what the Marlins have hoped for for Richard

72
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: Blir really just turning your corner, turning the corner not

73
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: in the right direction. I would say, hopefully you can

74
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: just pick it up time with the off star break,

75
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: crowls around took us some things and maybe he could

76
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: trump his ear rate to below four. That would be

77
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: great to see for Richard Blyer, because I know he

78
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: had the capabilities in him. It's another thing also to

79
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: maybe monitors age giving a big not big, but a

80
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: two year extension for a guy who was in his

81
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: mid thirties, who will be out of this contract by

82
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: the time he's thirty seven, thirty eight years old. But

83
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: I still believe in Richard Blider. I still think that

84
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: he has the capabilities to turn it around this rest

85
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: of the way into the season. But really just for

86
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: Miami overall, they really need to do pick things up.

87
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: If not, it's gonna be a very let's say, talkative

88
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: or and crazy Trede deadline. Because there are players at

89
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: Miami could potentially shop around. One of them have to

90
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: be a sus Aguilar. Marlins owe him. I believe seven

91
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: point five million dollars left on his contract guaranteed for Aguilar,

92
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: and he is definitely gonna be a player that the

93
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: Marlins have to shop around. Pretty decent sized contract, especially

94
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: for the Marlins, but to get him, to see what

95
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: would happen if trading him one of the Marlins can

96
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: get in return, I don't think they're gonna get any

97
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: top prospects if you got a couple top thirty guys,

98
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: and by top thirty guys, I mean guys positively in

99
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: the top twenty. So that's really I see something with

100
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: with Aguilar. And you could even go Garrett Cooper for

101
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: Garrett Cooper's contract is way less expensive compared to Aguilar.

102
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: Just other guys, it's really difficult to even say maybe

103
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: a pitcher someone in the bullpit, but the Marlins will

104
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: more likely trade four reliever than trade a reliever. If

105
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: there is a reliever to be traded, maybe Anthony Bass.

106
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: If the Marlin's like they're out of contention, they want

107
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: to get something. Anthony Bass is just having a career year.

108
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 1: He is dominating on all front and e ra under

109
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: to under one point nine thirty innings pitched exactly a

110
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: whip of one point zero three, walked under ten people,

111
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: not giving up any home runs. Anthony bats has just

112
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: been probably the best reliever, if he could say all pitchers,

113
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: he is probably top three easily for Miami. Just Anthony

114
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: Bats just spends shining star in this bullpen for the Fish. Really,

115
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: that's really the main thing. Just Anthony Bass just performing.

116
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: I believe that just a couple of small positives. One

117
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: of the biggest overachievers for Miami. He's just been dominating

118
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: and he could even get an All Star spot if

119
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: if if there is a spot on the bullpen, Anthony

120
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: Bass at least deserves to have a look to see

121
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: on the All Star bullpen. He deserves it. And also

122
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: the Marlins if you're gonna go in the opposite and

123
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: someone who has shrug me. It made me needed to

124
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: be sent down just to get some retooling and maybe

125
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: clearly your head's face and so they could come back bigger, better, faster, stronger.

126
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: It will probably be De la Cruz hitting two fifteen ops,

127
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: six thirteen sluggy three thirty eight four home runs. Just

128
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: really Brian de la Cruz we thought of like the

129
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: really strong fourth outfielder. He's just really been not the

130
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: best in that role. He's also giving an ep some

131
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: defensive plays in center field, so I'll be better off

132
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: to see what he could do in triple A. Gets

133
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: some retooling, Maybe bring up someone like harryan Canassi will

134
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: give him another shot here. Maybe bring up Blawin Diaz

135
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: or you're talking about center fielder's probably Billy Hamilton might

136
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: get a share of that role if DLC is brought down.

137
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: But that really does the news for Miami. They did

138
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: not look good against Saint Louis. They are back today

139
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: against the Cards at seven forty five pm. It is

140
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Braxton Garrett going up against Dakota Hudson. Should be an

141
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: interesting matchup for the Fish. But like sharing answers, ride

142
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: to wherever you get the small pod. Remember this always

143
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: go fish
