1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm Andrew Riddall, and I don't even really want

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: to say who the Marlins are facing tonight. I don't

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: like their team Atlanta, and I don't like the idea that, like,

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: the Marlins are going to go to Atlanta, then go

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: beyond Atlanta to get to Cobb County to get to

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: Atlanta to play Atlanta in Atlanta at Truest Park. Eli

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: was talking on the pod about some upcoming moves, you know,

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: like getting Wendell and Birdie back to the lineup, Blier

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: to the bullpen. Moves like that that certainly will come

10
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: with reciprocating moves. John Birdie's obviously someone you need back

11
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: on the team. I mean, the Marlins even so far

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: as went out to back up John Birdie this week

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: because missing John Birdie has been such a disaster truly

14
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: for the Marlins' consistent and Bat is really such a

15
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: missed presence in the lineup. The same with Joey Wendell,

16
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: another like welcome addition to the team. Probably the two

17
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: most consistent swings on the Marlins have been out. But

18
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm not really here to make excuses for the Marlins really,

19
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: I kind of, first of all, want to like apologize

20
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: for my tone on Wednesday talking about Drer and Karnacion.

21
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: I seemingly didn't act as though he's already on the

22
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: forty man roster, which he is on the forty man roster.

23
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: It's something of like, well, certainly inattention on my part,

24
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: but it does lead me well into a point that

25
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: I want to make very fully out on my own

26
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: opinion here, But I'm of the belief that Miami needs

27
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: to be like making moves to try to like like

28
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: that's or something at this point, however you want to

29
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: metaphorically describe it as what I mean, but I think

30
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: we've all sort of spotted some bits that need to

31
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: change about this team in order for them to be

32
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: successful on the field. I definitely don't like to be

33
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: the sort of person to talk about those on the

34
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: podcast because I'm not Kim Ang. I'm not in these rooms.

35
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: I've never even heard Don Maddingly talk with Jesus Sanchez

36
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: about baseball at all. I don't know these dynamics, these

37
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: interpersonal dynamics, these internal causes, like what is someone doing

38
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: in a workout, what they are they doing with their trainers,

39
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: what is going on to help this team? Succeed on

40
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: the field. Like no matter how much I look at

41
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: Baseball Savant or watch baseball games or what have you,

42
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: it's still never like quite clear. But I do think

43
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: it's time that there is a change at the top

44
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: of this Marlins roster. It's been about two months, so

45
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: I don't feel totally like unhinged in saying that, but

46
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: it looks as though Jesus Sanchez is not quite there

47
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: at the plate. Just he's on pins and needles, is

48
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: the best way that I could put it. Watching him

49
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: take a walk the other day, seemed like he was

50
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: like dramatically moving with each pitch, going like way down

51
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: and like collapsing his stance on a breaking pitch in

52
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: the dirt, and then just like seemingly with such relief

53
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: for like the call ball four on a fastball away

54
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: up and outside the zone. It just didn't seem like

55
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: he was seeing it in a sense that as much

56
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: as he made the right calls on the pitch, it

57
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: wasn't with a real strong confidence that the pitches were taken.

58
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: Strange to like be like nitpicking on that. I feel like,

59
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: obviously we're talking about like the major league player Jesus Sanchez,

60
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: that's I mean, we've seen so much just like greatness

61
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: room at the plate, and he's young and strong and

62
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: greatly athletic, and he has made strides even this year

63
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: with his swing. But what I think I've seen with

64
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: him is a tendency to be overly reactive at the plate,

65
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: taking at times like almost two different swings to try

66
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: to get like that like single the other way or

67
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: hit the gap the other way, or and that like

68
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: pull home run swing. Just it doesn't look quite the

69
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: same with him as it does with like your Luis

70
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: Arrise of like the Minnesota Twins, who's just like just

71
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: raking the ball all over with just a steady swing

72
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: up there with like the fastball and like relentlessly fallen

73
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: off pitches. It's a different type of swing than what

74
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: you see with Jesus Sanchez, and it seems like he's

75
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: struggling to find it at the plate with some mistakes

76
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: in the field and on the bases, and it feels

77
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: like he's maybe a bit at a limit when major

78
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: league pitchers are just his opposition. I definitely think that

79
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: John Birdie and Brian de la Cruz, and maybe even

80
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: as early offseason talk was Avi Garcia could step into

81
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: center field, maybe to give Birdie a day off, or

82
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: Brian de la Cruz could also fill in in that

83
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: situation where you do send down Jesus Sanchez to get

84
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: more just time to work on a swing, develop his

85
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: consistency with his body, and do what is like the

86
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: hardest thing to do in professional sports, get that swing

87
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: locked in and ready to go as soon as it

88
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: can be done, because he is still potentially that centerfield

89
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: of the future, and you want that as soon as

90
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: you can on the roster and in place in winning

91
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: new games. So I do think that whatever the dynamic

92
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: is between Jesus Sanchez and I'm space because there's literally

93
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: like twenty eight people that it could be that have

94
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: a dynamic that would be important to making this decision.

95
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: So I mean my perspective as like a baseball operations

96
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: analyst on this is a bit like bunk, But as

97
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: a podcaster, I totally wouldn't be if we see some

98
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: movement with Jeesu Sanchez going down, in Jarera coming up

99
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: to the major league team, him filling in as like

100
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: a big bat, spotting like Avy or Jorge Solaire or

101
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: taking on the designated hitter role in twenty twenty two,

102
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: maybe even June. I also really wouldn't be surprised if

103
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: that that that comes in, and that sort of situation

104
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: isn't jj Blade either. He's been more of a tough

105
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: at bat this season, so it's not like the next

106
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: player up has to be Jerrere. It could be any

107
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: number of players. Certainly the forty man roster spot helps

108
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: Jarera's case towards that debut. But tonight we will see

109
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: Miami take on Atlanta as Trevor Rodgers gets the start.

110
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: For the podcast, I've been Andrew Dalt and if I

111
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: had to rank the top five most common jerseys at

112
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins, it would be Buxton,

113
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: maur Mornell, Astuon Dio, and Correa. I'll be back with

114
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: you on Wednesday, and until then, stay in tune with

115
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: Fish Stripes coverage of twenty two Marlon season from all

116
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: angles
