1 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: It's August sixteenth, and the Miami Marlins remained tied for 2 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: first place in the National League East. Surprisingly to some 3 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: that may come as a disappointment. After losing two of 4 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: three to the division rival Atlanta Braves this weekend. The 5 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: Marlins are now tied with the Braves for first place 6 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: and have come completely back down to earth. What's going on, guys. 7 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 1: It's Ethan Madowski here and we're gonna be talking about 8 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: the Marlins in Atlanta Braves three game series that just 9 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: concluded today. It was a tough one for the Marlins. 10 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: It might have been actually their worst series performance of 11 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: the entire year. We lost the offense completely the last 12 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: two days, and despite some good pitching performances, the Marlins 13 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: just weren't able to back up their pitchers and get 14 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: enough offense to take it to the Braves and win 15 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: a couple of ball games and take control of first place. 16 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: As we move into the middle of August, let's take 17 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: a look now, starting with game one. We're gonna look 18 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,639 Speaker 1: at Game one individually, and then we're gonna group games 19 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: two and three together, because a lot of the problems 20 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: and games in in game two were the same problems 21 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: that the Marlins had in Game three. They were very 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: similar games, both very frustrating losses for the Marlins. The 23 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: first game was really good though. Pablo got the start 24 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: and he was fantastic, and he just keeps getting better. 25 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: He he he gets better every start, every time on 26 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: the hill, he looks improved and he was really good 27 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: again on Friday night. 28 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: Pablo Lopez has tied his career high in strikeouts and 29 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: a new career high for Pablo Lopez. That his number eight. 30 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 2: That in the back of the hitter's mind and then 31 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: goes right back to the change up away. I mean, 32 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 2: he's command has been absolutely outstanding tonight. 33 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: That's setting up a hitter right there. 34 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: He went six innings. He did get knocked around a 35 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: little bit, he gave up seven hits, but he was 36 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: able to limit the damage. He only led up two runs, 37 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,119 Speaker 1: he didn't walk anybody, and he had eight strikeouts as well. 38 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: In fact, the only two runs that he led up 39 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: came on a home run that came early in the game. 40 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: The Marlins were able to answer that. The bullpen threw 41 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: three scoreless innings. That was huge after the off day 42 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: in between the series with Toronto and the series with Atlanta. 43 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: The Marlins were able to take advantage of the off 44 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: day and the bullpen pitched three scoreless innings. That was 45 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: the last off day that the Marlins will have for 46 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: a long long time into September. I hope they took 47 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: advantage of it, because it didn't help them the rest 48 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: of the series. But the bullpen was good on Friday night. 49 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: What else was good. The offense was really good that night, 50 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: and the offense was really good in a way that 51 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: we don't often see offenses performing nowadays, which is small ball. 52 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: The Marlins only had two extra base hits in this game, 53 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: and they didn't hit the ball out of the ballpark once. 54 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: The Marlins stole four bases in this game. That's something 55 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: that we haven't seen a lot from the Marlins in 56 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: past years, is aggressiveness on the base paths because they 57 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: haven't had anybody that can steal bases. But now they 58 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: have VR Magnor Sierra is getting some time. John Birdie 59 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: can run the bases very well, and that's benefiting the 60 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: Marlins a lot, because right now they sit in fourth 61 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: in the major leagues. Coming into today, they were in 62 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: fourth in the Major leagues in stolen bases. I didn't 63 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: do the math of the other teams, but the Marlins 64 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: added another stolen base today from John Birdy, so they 65 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: may have moved into third. But they're definitely, certainly right 66 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: now a top five team at stealing bases. And they've 67 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: played a lot less games than everybody else because they 68 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: missed an entire week of the season. So certainly a 69 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: new added factor to the Marlins offense that we haven't 70 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: seen before. The player of this game, and the player 71 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: that I think a lot of people have to kind 72 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: of eat their words about, and I'm certainly one of 73 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: them is Magnorise Sierra. You know, before the year I 74 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: kind of said that Mags had turned into a fourth outfielder. 75 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: But he's looking like a guy that just affects the game. 76 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: He just knows how to affect the game and make 77 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: things happen. 78 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 3: The two two just missed, runner goes throw it a 79 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 3: second close had not in time Magnerius Sierra steals the 80 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 3: base and is in scoring position with one out. Again, 81 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 3: for club that doesn't hit a lot of homers, they've 82 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 3: got a manufacturer offense, and Sierra got in ahead of 83 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: the tag and held the. 84 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: Bag, and he's earned himself some more at bats. I 85 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: would like to see Mags start playing every day, at least, 86 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna platoon him against lefties, if 87 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: you face two in a row like they did on 88 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday, at least playing for one of those games. 89 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 3: You know. 90 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: I would have liked to see Mags on Saturday or Sunday. 91 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: But the only time we saw him in this series 92 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: was on Friday, and he was a huge difference maker. 93 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: He went one for two with a walk, and he 94 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: had two runs scored. But he was just doing little things. 95 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: He was running the bases really well. You know, he 96 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: got a double where he rounded first and kind of 97 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: like dummied the guy to throw in the ball, you know, easily, 98 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: and then he took off and he's got great speed, 99 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: so he made it to second. He's really finding ways 100 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: to affect the game, and he's a good little ballplayer, 101 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: and he's improved his approach a lot. He's already taken 102 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: more walks this year, maybe even double the amount of 103 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: walks he's taken this year than he took last year. 104 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: That's really huge because the Marlins need a guy that's 105 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: just gonna get on base. And when he can get 106 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: on base, he can affect the game with his wheels. 107 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: So I love what I see from Max Sierra so far. 108 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: I would like to see him more. I want to 109 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: see matting Lee, you know, kind of break this platoon 110 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: if guys are hitting the ball well. And Max has 111 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: been hitting the ball well. So that was good. In 112 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: Game one, the Marlins played It's on a small ball. 113 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: They beat the Braves eight to two. It was a 114 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: really good game. The offense looked great, and it was 115 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: a new type of offense that we haven't really seen 116 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: from the Marlins, so that was really exciting. After that, 117 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't so great. Games two and three you can 118 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: see here I have just bad written. That's all I 119 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: really had to say about Games two and three. But 120 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: before we get to what was bad about it, there 121 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: was some good in it. The first thing was the 122 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: starting pitching. The starting pitching was great. Daniel Costano went 123 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: six pretty good innings, only allowed to run on four hits, 124 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: and he only had two strikeouts, but he was working 125 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: very efficiently. It was kind of like a Mark Burley 126 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: type game. The game went really quick when he was 127 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: in it, and he was able to eat a bunch 128 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: of innings. That's really important. You know. I talked about 129 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: how the Marlins bullpen has been so overworked that it's 130 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: good to eat innings. And you get six innings from 131 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: Pablo on Friday, you get six innings from Castano on Saturday. 132 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: That was really good. So he didn't get a lot 133 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: of strikeouts, but he worked six good innings and you know, 134 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: maybe you say he could have gotten the seventh anyway. 135 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: In Game three. The next good thing was today Eliezer 136 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: was good again. He threw five innings, allowed three hits, 137 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: he didn't allow any runs, he didn't walk anybody, and 138 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: he struck out nine. That's not something you expect from Eliezer. 139 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: He's not really a strikeout pitcher. He's more of a 140 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: guy that's gonna eat innings. And he did, you know, 141 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: get through five. But I would have liked to see 142 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,679 Speaker 1: him get more. And we'll get to that in a second, 143 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: because that's a huge talking point from today's ballgames. But 144 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: Eliezer was good again, and he just keeps, you know, 145 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: having good, clean outings every time he goes out there. 146 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: The next thing, Monte, he went deep. Finally, you're forty 147 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: million dollar free agent deal. 148 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 2: Monte with a drive right center field. Long run in Cirte. 149 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: Goodbye home run, first Ramonte Harrison head it ties the game. 150 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 3: In the eight. 151 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 2: How do you do, mister Harrison? First big league home 152 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 2: run ties up this ballgame. 153 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: He looks more comfortable at the plate now, he finally 154 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: looks settled in. He's got to put the ball on 155 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: the bat, the bat on the ball more. I mean 156 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: needs football and play more. But his his his at 157 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: bats are better. He's not, you know, swinging at every fastball, 158 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: and he's still swinging through a lot of things. But 159 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: he turned this one around and it was a really 160 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: nice piece of hitting. He drove it out to right 161 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: center field. Pimp jobbed it. He's got eighty grade swag. 162 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start calling him eighty grade because of that. 163 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: He looked really good. It was a beautiful swing. And 164 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: I hope that with these this improved approach that we're 165 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: seeing from him, that more results will come. I would 166 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: like to see him get more at bats, you know, 167 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: I'd like to see this platoon thing kind of stop 168 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: for him. I think he should be playing. You know, 169 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: if he's here, you gotta let him just kind of 170 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: work out the kinks you got to get him more 171 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: at bats. He shouldn't be getting only three at bats 172 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: every game. I understand the point of having him ninth. 173 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: It's kind of like another leadoff hitter to turn the 174 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: lineup over, but I want to see him up in 175 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: the lineup, getting more at bats, seeing better hitches. So 176 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: but nonetheless, he went deep and that was a highlight. 177 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't a great series for him otherwise 178 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: in terms of having a bad day on on Sunday, 179 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: but you know, if he hits home run, I'm happy. 180 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: So it was a good series for him. Brinston had 181 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: two hits on Saturday. His at bats continue to look better. 182 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,599 Speaker 1: He didn't have a great day on Sunday. Nobody in 183 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: the Marlins lineup had a great day on Sunday, but 184 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: he was. He looked good on Saturday. He wrote to 185 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: double one of the corner. His approach again continues to improve. 186 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: And then Leywin Diaz, a guy that I've talked about 187 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: if you listen to the Earning Their Stripes podcast, a 188 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: guy I've talked about at you know no end. He's 189 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: the Marlins first basement of the future. The Marlins are 190 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: absolutely obsessed with him. According to Craig Mish and a 191 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: lot of other reporters, but Mish specifically says the Marlins 192 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: just absolutely rave about him. He got called up because 193 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: Corey Dickerson was placed on the bereavement list. We certainly 194 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: send Corey and his family are well wishes, but he 195 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: he was called up because of that, and he should 196 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: only be here temporarily. But he took advantage in his 197 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: first at bat and the ninth inning and got on 198 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: with a base hit that Marlins were unable to, you know, 199 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: bring him in and tie the game. But it was 200 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: a nice piece of hitting. He barreled up a pitch 201 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: on the outside part of the plate, shot it the 202 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: other way through the shift, and it was it was 203 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: good to see. He played again on Sunday. He didn't 204 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: have a hit, but his at bets looked pretty good. 205 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: He looked really comfortable at the plate. All right, let's 206 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: get to the bad because there's a lot to get to. 207 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: It's pretty I wrote here pretty much everything else went 208 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: wrong for the Marlins. The first thing is the bullpen. 209 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: It's finally catching up to the Marlins. This, this whole 210 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: situation that they've been in is finally catching up to them, 211 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: and I think, you know, you could have seen it coming. 212 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: On Saturday. It was a one to one ball game. 213 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: After Monte's home run, he tied it in the eighth 214 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: and you're saying, all right, you know, the Marlins got 215 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: the momentum. That's a huge home run. And then Brandon Kinsler, 216 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: who's been really good for the Marlins this year, he's 217 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: been their best reliever, probably let up a home run 218 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: to Adam Devall. That was the end of that. The 219 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: Marlins couldn't get anything in the ninth today. Eliezer got 220 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: the pull after five innings. I thought he got yanked early. 221 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: I would have liked to see him go a little longer, 222 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: you know, try and get through that sixth inning. But he, 223 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: you know, he was pulled. I don't know if it 224 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: was Maddingly's decision because he was rejected from the game, 225 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: but nevertheless, he was pulled. Nick Vinson came in let 226 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: up a home run in the sixth inning that was 227 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: obviously not good. That got the Braves out to one 228 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: nothing lead. That's all they needed. But then it got 229 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: worse in the seventh because it took the Marlins three pitcher. 230 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: It took three pitchers for the Marlins to get out 231 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: of the seventh inning. Mike Moran led up two hits 232 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: and then he did get two outs, though then Brian 233 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: Moran came on, loaded the bases. Then he walked in 234 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: a run, and you know, the Marlins went to him 235 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: to get the matchup. But I don't love that because 236 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: Moran hasn't you know, I don't want to single him out, 237 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 1: but he hasn't shown you know that he's the best reliever. 238 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: He's a journeyman. But you know, this is what the 239 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: Marlins are working with right now, and it caught up 240 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: to them. He walked in a run and then he 241 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: gave up a two run double to Nick Markakis, lefty 242 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: on lefty. That was very not good. Nothing else to 243 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: really say about that. The Marlins finally did get out 244 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: of the seventh but the offense was unable to back 245 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: them up and they lost the game for nothing. Talk 246 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: about the offense not being able to back them up, 247 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: it was a theme for the entire series. In Games 248 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 1: two and three, only eight hits in the two games, 249 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: including a two hit performance today on Sunday. Just not good. 250 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: You know, you just not good. You can't score one 251 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: run in two games and expect to win. I mean 252 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: obviously because in one of those games you scored zero, 253 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: so there's no way you can win. That. That was 254 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: very trent del for of me. But anyway, eight hits 255 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: in two games is just bad. It can't be happening. 256 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: It's inexcusable, especially when Aguilar, Anderson and VR have two 257 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: two of those hits combined. So those are the guys 258 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: that you're looking for. Those were your you know, two 259 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: of your acquisitions and your cornerstone as things stand right now, 260 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: and you're looking to them for offense. And they get 261 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: two hits in two games combined between the three of them. 262 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: That it's really really bad, really bad. And not to 263 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: mention that there was only one run to support two 264 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: really good starting pitching performances. You know, Castado deserve to win, 265 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: he was great. Eliezer deserved better than that, certainly, But 266 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: the Marlins were only able to muster up one run 267 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: and it came from one swing by Monte Harrison. You know, 268 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: that's not that's inexcusable. So the Marlins offense has to 269 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: be better. You need more from those guys. You know, 270 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: maybe maybe they were missing Dickerson in the in the 271 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: lineup the last couple of nights because he always gives 272 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: you a good at bat. But there's no excuses. You know, 273 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people are talking about the umpires. The 274 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: umpires are not the reason that the Marlins offense was terrible. 275 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: The Marlins offense was terrible. They're not the reps and 276 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: the bullpen bad. The bullpen was bad. The Marlins have 277 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 1: to be better if they're gonna win ball games. They 278 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: have to be better in both facets of the game, 279 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: of the both of those facets of the game, because 280 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: that's ultimately what these games came down to. It came 281 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: down to the bullpen in the end, and the bullpen 282 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: was able to come through and the offense was unable 283 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: to come through to help the bullpen sputtering. So that 284 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: was that for the Marlins. They lose two of three 285 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: to the Braves, and now where do they go from here. Well, 286 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: there's some good news to report coming in the future. 287 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: All eighteen guys that tested positive for COVID nineteen have 288 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: been clear to return to action. They are at the 289 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: Jupiter site. They were at the Jupiter site today on 290 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: the fields getting in some abs and getting in some 291 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, the Sandy through a bullpen. I saw he's 292 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: gonna throw a sim game sometime this week, and then 293 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: he might be back towards the end of the week. 294 00:14:51,040 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: Mish said, we don't really know. There's no timetable just yet. Basically, 295 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: what miss said is keep an eye out for who 296 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: travels to Washington. If they travel to Washington, then obviously 297 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: we'll see them. If they don't, we won't see them 298 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: until the Marlins return home on August the twenty eighth. 299 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: I believe, so next Friday. So certainly bright news that 300 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: the Marlins, you know, they need those guys back. They 301 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: certainly need the guys in the bullpen. They need the 302 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: starting pitchers back, they need Caleb, they need Sandy because 303 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: they got to get going and this this is not 304 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: good enough what's going on right now, and they need 305 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: their guys back. The offense needs Mickey Roe, Cooper, you know, Harold. 306 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: They need their guys back. There's no other way to 307 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: put it. The metric coming to town now for four games. 308 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: As we turn forward, we see the Mets again for 309 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: the second time this year, for four games. The only 310 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: pitching matchup that we know for certain is tomorrow night's game. 311 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: It'll be Robert Gezelman against Jordan Yamamoto. Yam's looking to 312 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: bounce back from two rough starts. So far, we don't 313 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: know anything after that except that the Mets will throw 314 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: David Peterson on Tuesday. From the Marlins, we don't know 315 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: anybody else, and luckily for the Marlins, due to an injury, 316 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: they may avoid Jacob de Gram. We hope de Gram 317 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: is okay. I certainly hope de Gram is okay for 318 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: my fantasy team, but you never want to see a 319 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: premier starting pitcher in the league, a premier player in 320 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: the league get hurt, So we hope he's okay, But 321 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: the Marlins may not have to see him, and that 322 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: is what we're looking at here. The Marlins look to 323 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: bounce back against the New York Mets for a four 324 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: game series starting Tomorrow night.
