1 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: Hello Marlins fans, and welcome to this edition of Big 2 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: Fish Small Pod four Thursday September fourteenth, two thy twenty three. 3 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: And if you are new to the Small Pod, here 4 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: would like to give you all the information about the 5 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: Marlins for that particular day all season long, in ten 6 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: minutes or less, and Marlons fans, on this episode of 7 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: Big Fish Small Pod will be a little bit of 8 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: a deep dive on one specific player, the man, the myth, 9 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: the legend, the man who finally came back to pitch 10 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: a competitive baseball in what has been almost three years, 11 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: and that is six to SOH Sanchez pitching in a 12 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: playoff game for the Pensacola Blue Wahoo's just a few 13 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: days ago. Highly anticipated to have six though Sanchez back 14 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: not just throwing but throwing competitively against the live batters 15 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: in a game situation with defenders behind him and in 16 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: a real life catcher and fans and broadcasted and everything. 17 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: This is what has been almost in the sense of 18 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: working since the beginning of the season. But with this, 19 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: it almost feels like the Marlins try to six Dough 20 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: out there just so they can see what there is 21 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: potentially to have in twenty twenty three, or maybe just 22 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: to see what six do is doing, how he can 23 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,919 Speaker 1: perform in these situations, maybe just see how he's at, 24 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: or simply just to tell the fans, hey, we're still 25 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: working on six Dough. He's still here, He's throwing competitive game. 26 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: Not worry about six oh Sanchez. He is still throwing. 27 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: We are still in the process of making him the 28 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty version of six SOO Sanchez. But if you 29 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: look at the stats, you look at the v loo, 30 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: the same player at all six so Sanchez from our 31 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: friend fishing to far Alex Carver mentioning how six Oocentchus 32 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: topped at eighty eight miles an hour, which is incredible 33 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: to even think of. If Sanchez is going to come 34 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: back to the Marlins, it seems likely at this point 35 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: that it will be as a different type of pitcher 36 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: than the one that Marlins fan saw back in twenty twenty. 37 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: Going back to twenty twenty where six O Sanchez was 38 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: topping over one hundred one oh one forming in these 39 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: playoff games, really great outings. Incredible just to think of 40 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: that fall from grace for six th centchs just a 41 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: guy who who was just it seemed like was destined 42 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: to be the next great Marlins picture or young picture 43 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: along with Sandy and Urie Perez. He was distant to 44 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: maybe fill that gap and be the next guy in 45 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: the rotation. And at that time twenty twenty, just number 46 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: two three, just really potential with six centsors just through 47 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: the roof. After that twenty twenty season where he had 48 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: three four sixty ra a one and a half war 49 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: pitch in a playoff game, had a complete game of 50 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: seven innings, but still a complete game fur the Marlins. 51 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: Just to see where he is now, it's just really incredible. 52 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: This is a reliever we're seeing. This is not someone 53 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: who's gonna come back and be kind of like Sandy 54 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: and go even to pitch eight innings. He didn't have 55 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: another complete game in the majors to throw seven innings. 56 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: Now you look at him in double A. Just to 57 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: start getting him out there against competitive players in a 58 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: competitive situation, maxed out or the Marlins wanted him to 59 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: throw at least twenty pitches. Throwing twenty pitches as the max, 60 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: he threw eighteen pitches with ten strikeouts for just one 61 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: inning of work, giving up one hit, one walk, and 62 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: two strikeouts using just a mix of different pitches that 63 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: he does have there. But for six so this is 64 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: not the same player that we have seen in twenty twenty, 65 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: and it feels like we will never see that type 66 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: of player the Marlins. It looks like they have to 67 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: cut their losses and probably that's already what they're starting 68 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: to do just giving six so maybe this limiting amount 69 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: of innings, but for six oh, it's just you know, 70 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: going down almost thirteen miles an hour, just really incredible 71 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: to see what's happening with six to oh and if 72 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: he could continue or potentially be a quarter of the 73 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,799 Speaker 1: player we saw back at twenty twenty in that magical 74 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: run that Marlins had. But for six oh, at for 75 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: Marlans fans, this is not a player that it's going 76 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: again be a starter or be high end maybe even 77 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: just a high end reliever. Is really asking a lot. 78 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: There is a guy who's gonna come in throw an inning, 79 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: maybe throw two winnings at the most in a professional setting. 80 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: But to get to that level he is to you know, 81 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: with his velo again eighty eight as your fastball at 82 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: topping at that number is not something Marlins have hoped 83 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: for a few days ago, a few days before this appearance, 84 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: we were all told that he was his Vello top, 85 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: that ninety four, he was hitting ninety four of the 86 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: radar gun. Going down the situation, you would think more 87 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: adrenaline being in this, being playing in his competition. Your 88 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: the team is rattling behind six to though again it's 89 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: the playoffs, so it means a lot to the players 90 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: and to him to go out there in eighty eight 91 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: miles an hour, another one just fastball around eighty five. 92 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: Just really incredible, Just how far six to us fallen. 93 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: I can understand maybe there might be some hope fans 94 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: have and I will I'm one to say that I 95 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: would love to have six to bag. I would love 96 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: to see if you could get fully healthy and potentially 97 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: what he could contribute to maybe twenty five, twenty four 98 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: in the middle of the summer in September, a year 99 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: from now, who knows what we could see from six 100 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: of Sanchez. And again just starting at this late in 101 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: September with with with the Blue Wahoos, I believe maybe 102 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: the only organization in the Marlin system still playing because 103 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: they're in the playoffs. I think Jupiter and whatnot just 104 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: you know, one of the only ones to put him 105 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: in there at that level. Again, I know, tough for competition, 106 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: so I guess looking at the two strikeouts and the walk, 107 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: the hit, but still with six to dozero sense just 108 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: topping at that level, it could be a good step 109 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,679 Speaker 1: for Maybe some people are saying it him just throwing 110 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: at a competitive level that we are seeing could maybe 111 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: who knows, at this time next year, maybe he's in 112 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: Triple A one two inning guy as a reliever on 113 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: giving them some innings. Maybe come up to the Marlins 114 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: by next By this time next year, it's still a 115 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: mystery with six so Sanchez one that it will take 116 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people. Maybe not even the Scooby Doo 117 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: and and and Shaggy can even solve this one. But 118 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna take It's gonna take a lot of people 119 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: to solve this mystery. But again, him just throwing an 120 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: inning in a competitive game in Double A, I would 121 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: say there's a good step forward. It is giving a 122 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: lot of Marlins fans and I hope that six er 123 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: centers could come back and play at that level. But 124 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: for him, I believe that the top level right now 125 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: he should be thinking of. He could continue doing this 126 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: at a consistent level. Can he continue doing this for 127 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: a couple appearances in Double A? All right? Can he 128 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: do this now at Triple A? And then when you 129 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: get to a real consistency at Triple A is when 130 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: you bring in the thought, okay, can we bring him 131 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: into the major leagues, especially again not having this season 132 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: at all? Next year, maybe around August the summer, or 133 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: even this time, and the Marlins competing competitively baseball? Are 134 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: they playing over five hundred baseball in a wild cards 135 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: about like they are this season? Do you go and 136 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: bring it? Thought? Hey, can you bring six or Sanchez? 137 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: Can he spark in it up? Can he be a 138 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: nice opener for the Marlins? Can he come in and 139 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,239 Speaker 1: throw out a couple relief bolk innings or just one inning? 140 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: But again, do you want to do that for a 141 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: team that's called that's in a playoff haunt? Maybe by 142 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: next season or or over five hundred. But if the 143 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: Marlins do not have the same success as this year, 144 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: maybe Six still comes back and they get him out there, 145 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: throw him maybe two innings, maybe three. Again, this is 146 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: just this is just a thought. This is this is 147 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: this me rambling a bit about six though, but overall 148 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: nice step forward. Is it gonna master anything this season? Nope? 149 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: Is he gonna pitch again, probably this season, nope. Spring 150 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: training might be the closest thing, uh, if we get 151 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: to see something with six step, but if not, it's 152 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: gonna be tough for all the head. But again, one inning, 153 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: two strikeouts, one walk, one hit, topping at eighty eight 154 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: is the big question. But for six oer sences, it's 155 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: still a Marlin's mystery.
