1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to our brand new edition of Big 2 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: Fish Small Pod. As always for big Fish Small Pod, 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: it is ten minutes or less giving you Marlon's information 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: for that day and for today's episode on April twentieth, 5 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,159 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, I have a great guest here with me, 6 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: as always, mister Alex Krutchik. Alex, it's great to. 7 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 2: Have you on. Thank you for having me on, Daniel O. 8 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: The Pleasure's online. The first thing I wanted to ask you. 9 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 1: We're coming off a series win versus the San Francisco Giants, 10 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: took two out of three home before. Now we're starting 11 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: a series with the Guardians. What did you see first off? 12 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: From that series against Giants? 13 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 3: On a macro level, I saw a team that wants 14 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 3: to win every night and doesn't just roll over as 15 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 3: soon as they get down a run or two. We 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 3: saw a couple of come from behind victories, not just 17 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 3: against the Giants, but throughout the whole homestand and then 18 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 3: even today we're recording the pod. On Wednesday, the Marlins 19 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 3: just got done in a extra inning battle with the 20 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 3: Giants that lost five to one, but even then, or sorry, 21 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 3: five to two, but even then when they went down 22 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 3: five to one in the eleventh inning, they still got 23 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 3: guys on base, they still brought the tying run up 24 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 3: to the plate. So I saw a team big picture 25 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 3: that looked like they want to win every single game, 26 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 3: no matter how much they're down by, and they believe 27 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: that they could win every game. 28 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: No matter how much they're down by. 29 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, and now nineteen games into the season they are 30 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: ten to nine. Alex If I would have told you 31 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: around twenty games to the season, nineteen games that they 32 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: were over five hundred, what would you have said? 33 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 2: I would have. 34 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 3: Asked which surprise free agent signings we brought in their 35 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 3: expected I didn't think that the roster is currently constructed 36 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 3: could be over five hundred. 37 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe a couple games low five hundred. 38 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 3: I thought maybe their peak through this April schedule could be, 39 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 3: you know, mediocre, two or three games below. I didn't 40 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 3: think that they would not only be two games above 41 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 3: five hundred. But they've actually won every series that hasn't 42 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 3: been against the Mets. 43 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: And would you have an over five hundred record? It 44 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: has three players that have impressed, players that have showed 45 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: out that maybe people would have not thought they would 46 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: really sew out or break out of sorts without any 47 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: players for you, that's really impressed you so far, nineteen 48 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,399 Speaker 1: games into this year. 49 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 3: I feel like the easy answer will be Luis Arayaz. 50 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll we'll get to him soon. But Jor Solaire, 51 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 3: if we're talking about returning guys, what he's showing so 52 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 3: far is exactly what the Marlins were looking for when 53 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,119 Speaker 3: they first signed. 54 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 2: His batting averages and that high which is what we expected. 55 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 2: He strikes out a. 56 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 3: Little bit here and there when he gets the bat 57 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 3: on the ball, which is happening a lot more often 58 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 3: this year than last year. 59 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: He's Maaryland. 60 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: Sola Center. 61 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 3: You take the lead. He's doing exactly what the Marlins 62 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 3: wanted him to do when they originally signed him last year. 63 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, just looking at some of his stats now, batting 64 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: average to sixty seven, you would have told me Horse 65 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: Hilaire just batting over two fifty, I would have said, 66 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: that's an all star. You know, hit that caliber type 67 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: players have the their ops ninety seven six, slugging obviously 68 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: six thirty three. One of easily probably the best players 69 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: right now in the Marlins not named Louis Rayahs. 70 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 2: So let's go from that sadly. 71 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: Let's talk about maybe the opposite players for you who 72 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: have not gone up to standard, to part to maybe 73 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: what you would have predicted coming into the season. What 74 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: players are being disappointed to you so far this season. 75 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 3: So again, I'm gonna give you an easy answer and 76 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: then a little bit harder answer. The easy answer is 77 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 3: Avid Garcia. He played pretty poorly last year. He kind 78 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 3: of picked up steam after his hamstring injury in September, 79 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: and then he lost some weight last September and then 80 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: maintained that weight loss throughout the offseason. Spring training looked 81 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 3: pretty good at first, and then again he dropped off 82 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 3: again in production in the second half of spring training. 83 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 3: He thought, well, maybe it's just a little slump. Slumps 84 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: happened so far. He hasn't been hitting well. And I 85 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 3: know it's only eighteen games into the year, but you know, 86 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 3: a little less than a month into the year, so 87 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 3: there's still time to turn around. But if we're basing 88 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 3: off of what we saw last year, you know it's 89 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 3: not looking good. He's just doing more of the same 90 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 3: of what we saw last year. I don't see an 91 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 3: out for him. One thing is he is running fast. 92 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 3: He had a sprint speed the other day of twenty 93 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 3: nine point nine feet per second, so he is getting 94 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 3: down the line. But other than that, like every one 95 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 3: of his hits are like Indenfield hits, and he's striking 96 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: out a lot. He was a big reason why the 97 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 3: Marlins lost today, had the bases loaded in the bottom 98 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 3: of the tenth and he struck out. Very disappointed that 99 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 3: he hasn't been even a little better than. 100 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 2: Last year the next one. 101 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: And it's not that I'm disappointed in him as an 102 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 3: overall player, because there's other reasons that I love what 103 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 3: he's done, and maybe we'll have time to talk about it. 104 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 3: Jazz Chisholm junior against the lefties doesn't seem like he's 105 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 3: gotten any better. If anything, just off the eye test, 106 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 3: he might have even gotten worse. He is talented enough 107 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 3: and young enough to where I'm sure that eventually he'll 108 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 3: figure it out, but for now, it doesn't look good 109 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 3: up there. I suggested before, half jokingly, half serious, maybe 110 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 3: the regular season isn't the time to be doing this. 111 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 2: But at Vargas guy that the. 112 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 3: Los Angeles doctors had during spring training where he had 113 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: an injury so he wasn't allowed to swing the bat 114 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 3: or maybe you run the bases. He was instructed to 115 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 3: do not swing at anything, but we're still gonna give 116 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 3: you at that. 117 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 2: So you can take a look at these pitches. Half joking, 118 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 2: half serious. What if the Marvelins did that. 119 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 3: It might be too late now that we're in the 120 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 3: regular season, but it would have been cool if they had. 121 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: Done that during spring training with him. 122 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: But yeah, if he can figure out how to be 123 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 3: even a little bit below average against lefties as opposed 124 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 3: to terrible against lefties, I think that's going to unlock 125 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 3: a whole new world for him. 126 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, and from that the disappointments, people who have impressed. 127 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: Let's go maybe a little big picture with the Marlins. Overall, 128 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: they have been impressing. They have been the opposite of 129 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,239 Speaker 1: disappointing when you look at the team as a whole, 130 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: the pitching, and I think one thing we have to 131 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: mention in terms of being impressed has been the bullpen. 132 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: This bullpen has just been amazing for them. And you 133 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: look at it today's game recording against the Giants. You 134 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: take out that Devin Smeltzer bottom of the eleventh when 135 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: he gave up the four and runs after the Trevor Rodgers. 136 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: They had I believe, let me see two four six 137 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: seven strikeouts, only two walks, They allowed one hit, and 138 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: I was from George Soriano, the rookie who just starting 139 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: his major league career. This bullpen has just been masterful. 140 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: You look at Tanner, Scott Andrew NRDI shout out Alex Carver, 141 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: his guy has also been really good out of the pen. 142 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: What has the bullpen done to you or what have 143 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: you seen from them? Because this is just the complete 144 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: opposite bullpen we saw last year. 145 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 3: I see guys like aj Puck that are new to 146 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 3: the bullpen that are contributing the exact way that you 147 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 3: wanted them to, maybe even better than you wanted them to, 148 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 3: because personally, I wanted AJ Puck to just maybe be 149 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 3: a serviceable eighth or ninth inning guy. He's been dominant, 150 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 3: like he's been automatic. Other than the one home run 151 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: he gave up against pie Alonzo in that opening series, 152 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 3: he has been nearly perfect. And yeah, today you mentioned 153 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 3: the Devin Smeltzer inning, not to make excuses for Devin Smeltzer, 154 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 3: but there was a little bit of a domino effect 155 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 3: with Trevor Rodgers having to come out in the fourth inning, 156 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 3: which caused you to have to use George Soriano for 157 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 3: two innings and then Matt Barnes in the sixth inning, 158 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 3: Andrew Nardi, Oscar Brazabon, Tanner Scott. 159 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: Maybe if Trevor Rodgers doesn't get hurt. 160 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 3: And I know you don't like to play the what 161 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 3: if game when it comes to baseball, because injuries are 162 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 3: part of the thing. But if Rogers doesn't come out 163 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 3: in the fourth inning, Devin Smeltzer probably doesn't have to 164 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 3: pitch the eleventh. 165 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: You can probably have George Soriano up there or something. 166 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I do have a stat for you and I 167 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 3: put out on Twitter yesterday, but coming into today, so well, 168 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 3: let's throw out the Devin Smeltzer inning. Coming into today, 169 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 3: Marlins faced twenty nine batters in high leverage situations. According 170 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 3: to Fangrafts, In those twenty nine events, they have allowed 171 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 3: a one sixty batting average, which was second best in 172 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 3: the majors. After today's performance, the bullpen era is four 173 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 3: point h one, which is nineteenth best in the majors. 174 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 3: And again that's in that last stat is including the 175 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 3: Devin Smeltzer inning today and also the seven runs that 176 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 3: they gave up against the Twins earlier in the year 177 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 3: where Johnny Cuato had to leave after the first inning. 178 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 2: So this bullpen looks a lot better. 179 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 3: Not only do they look better, remember last year they 180 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 3: looked okay when all they had to do is just 181 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 3: carry the game to the end, but when they were 182 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 3: in high leverage situations, you couldn't trust them. That's the 183 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 3: biggest difference. It's not just that the bullpen is sorry 184 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 3: that the bullpen is better this year. Is that the 185 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 3: bullpen's better this year when it matters. 186 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Because you also have to take out the 187 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: other Devin Smeltzer game. I believe the one right after 188 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: Sandy where you had where we had to go four 189 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: or five innings against the Phillies and he gave up. 190 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: I believe the same around earn runs and Sandy to 191 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: the around eight or ninety. Take out that let's say eight, 192 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: you take four here or three on runs, that's twelve 193 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: earned runs right there, just from just from Devin Smelzer. 194 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: No no hate or anything on Devin Smelzer is just 195 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: away at the game. You take out those earned runs 196 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: and it's just completely different bullpender. Definitely, the eye test 197 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: They're definitely a top ten bullpen for sure in the 198 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: major League, just the way they've been performing. And Alex's 199 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,599 Speaker 1: last question, I wanted to ask for you going a 200 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: little bit over ten minutes, but that's perfectly fine. Big 201 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: picture on the Marlins, what do you see from this team, 202 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: Let's say the All Star break. 203 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 3: If this team is hovering around five hundred at the 204 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 3: All Star break, I will be very excited to see 205 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 3: what they do at the deadline because kim Ang catches 206 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 3: a lot of flak and there's definitely certain things. There's 207 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 3: definitely been certain transactions that I haven't been a fan of. 208 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 3: One thing that she's impressed me with is trade deadlines. 209 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 3: She fleeces teams on trade sometimes AJ Puck for example, 210 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 3: we just mentioned AJ Puck for JJ with Hey, that's 211 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 3: a crazy trade. 212 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 2: Still hovering over that. Oh my god, that was his 213 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 2: super Bowl that day. 214 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 3: But yeah, kim Ang is known to fleece some of 215 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 3: these teams when it comes time to trade. If you 216 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 3: put kim Ang in a position where it's time to buy, 217 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 3: not this weird kind of buying, kind of selling thing 218 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 3: that the Marlins have done last year, just straight up 219 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 3: by one hundred I'm really excited to see what she does. 220 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 3: So if they're hovering around five hundred, I think that'll leapfrog. 221 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 2: Them even more after that. 222 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 3: If they keep playing like this, I do see them 223 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 3: competing for a playoff spot. I'm not going to guarantee 224 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 3: the playoffs, but I see them competing because not only 225 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 3: do you have three teams to make the wildcard now 226 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 3: is that number correct? 227 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 2: Three teams to make the wildcard? 228 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 3: And you don't play your division as often. And this 229 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 3: is a hard division, very hard division. And it's the 230 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 3: less games you play against them the better. 231 00:11:58,920 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 232 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 1: And you look at her right now as of recording, 233 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: the Marlons are two games out of the wild card. 234 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: Ahead of them are the Pittsburgh Pirates. Just looking at 235 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: that surprise twelve and seven. Wow, that's what Brian Reynolds 236 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: does to you. Yeah, definitely Marlins, they could keep it going. 237 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: Definitely make the wildcard thead, but we're not going to 238 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: go in depth into the future. Marlons have a series 239 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 1: coming up today against the Cleveland Guardians. We'll be having 240 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: fish Stripes live for you there. We'll have the whole 241 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: everyone there. We even have Grant covering those games at Cleveland, 242 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: but for big fish small pod Daniel Alex always go fish.
