1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Today is April twenty third, and this is Big Fish

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Small Pot, the show here on the Fish Strips podcast

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: network where we catch you up on the latest in

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: Miami Marlins in ten minutes or less. And today there's

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: not a lot to catch you up on. The Marlins

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: played late last night against the San Francisco Giants, and

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: the season is clearly in a bit of a state

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: of chaos with this deja vu opponent. So after the

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: win over Baltimore on Wednesday, a flight from Miami to

10
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: the fifty degree cloudy San Francisco at some point between

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: the game and now Brian Anderson's addition to the injured

12
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: list for an oblique injury, Miami eventually took the field

13
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: at nine to forty five Eastern Standard time on April

14
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: twenty second, absolutely exhausting. So it was the start of

15
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: a four game set. The teams faced off with the

16
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: injured list growing for each team, the Marlins with Starling

17
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: Marte Jorhel Farrow and Brian Anderson as new editions since

18
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: the last time these teams faced last week, and the

19
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: San Francisco Giants added Johnny Quato and Donovan Solano to

20
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: their injured list. The Giants are a team without much expectation.

21
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: This year, the Padres and Dodgers sit pretty much untested

22
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: ahead of them in the National League West. Now the Giants,

23
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: who are now twelve and seven might have something to

24
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: say about that, but for now, they're a team in

25
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: the middle of it and without much reason to think

26
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: that they could break out. But these Giants are an

27
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: organization that is fully built up. They have a three

28
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: point two billion dollar valuation. They've been around for one

29
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine years. They've won eight World Series

30
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: titles in their history. They have over eleven thousand wins

31
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: and overall the winning percentage of about fifty three percent,

32
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: and they have had the most recent dynasty in baseball.

33
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: They won three championships in the last fifteen years, over

34
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: a six year stretch between two thousand and eight and

35
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. And obviously, the Marlins faced some obstacles towards

36
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: being that. As the headline of the online edition of

37
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: the Miami har Harald red yesterday, Miami's sea level rise

38
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: bill is four billion by twenty sixty. It won't keep

39
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: every neighborhood dry. The Mia Marlins have a one point

40
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: two billion dollar valuation, twenty nine year history, two thousand wins,

41
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: forty six percent winning percentage in two World Series champions,

42
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: and the Marlins need to change the conversation and have

43
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: a dynasty of their own. There's no reason that the

44
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: Marlins can't catch up to the Giants in World Series titles.

45
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: The difference of six between the organizations could be had

46
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: this decade, and a legitimate baseball dynasty is what could

47
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: break this Marlins team out of its cursive, cyclical rebuilds

48
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: that have defined the organizations since the nineties. So late

49
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: last night, the Miament Marlins took on the Giants at

50
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: Oracle Park behind spot starter Daniel Castano up because of

51
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: injuries and the pitching staff. He's stepping into this rotation

52
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: for the second time so far this year, and the

53
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: second time again the Giants. Dano Gastano is a spot

54
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: starter because he does not necessarily have stuff that will

55
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: blow you away. He doesn't have any big surprise. He

56
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: has no real distinct weapon to get opponents out, so

57
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: much as he has a complete arsenal of different pitches

58
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: he can throw and the ability to go pretty deep

59
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: into games. Last week against the Giants, he pitched five innings,

60
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: gave up three hits, gave up one run, one walk,

61
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: two strikeouts, and that was it. Pretty uneventful line last night.

62
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: The first inning was where things were decided. In that

63
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: first inning, the Giants scored three runs and overall for

64
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: the game they would have five hits. Just there's three runs,

65
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: two walks, strikeouts. The typical Daniel Costano line without much

66
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: to necessarily say for his performance. Not a lot of

67
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: fantasy stats exactly, just solid baseball that giving up three

68
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: runs five innings, he kept the team in the game,

69
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: but the Marlins bats were.

70
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: Not there yet. They only had two hits.

71
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: The game started with the Jazz chism, the Bahamian in

72
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: fifty degree weather wearing a hoodie underneath his jersey.

73
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: Honestly, I only.

74
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: Appreciate how honest that is it I don't want to

75
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: be in fifty degree weather either. So Jazz started the

76
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: game with a hit that Gil Rojas was a hit

77
00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: by pitch followed which just felt mean, and followed it

78
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: up with a double play. The Marlins and the Giants

79
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: got out of the first without the Marlins scoring any runs,

80
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: and the second inning, John Birdie would have a single,

81
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: but that would be it for the Marlins, their night

82
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,679
Speaker 1: would end with just two hits and their second shutout

83
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: against the Giants in a revel going back to that

84
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: last Sunday, and the second straight shutout against the Marlins

85
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: for Giants catcher Kurt Cassali, who has a five game

86
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: shutout streak going which is genuinely wild. There are a

87
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: couple of things worth note.

88
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 2: In this game.

89
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: In the late innings, the eighth Don maddingly pinch hit

90
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: Sandy leone four Chad Wallack Sandy leonis Witch hitter came

91
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: into face a righty to get like a typical lefty

92
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: righting matchup advantage against the Giants. It was interesting because

93
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 1: he did show preference for Sandy as an offensive weapon

94
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: against the pitchers. Kind of gives us a hint at

95
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: internal conversations with the Marlins and their concept of their

96
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: own players. Also, Jose Devers, the twenty one year old

97
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: middle infielder, was called up with Brian Anderson's addition to

98
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: the injured list.

99
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: Jose Devers will stick towards those like middle infield roles.

100
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: John Birdie will be the starter at third, and Miguel

101
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: Rojas might slot a at.

102
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: Third if need be.

103
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: But with Jose Devers, you have the Marlins number eight prospect,

104
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: twenty one years old, getting some time in the big

105
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: leagues and getting a chance to see that.

106
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: Competition level live and perhaps be a part of it.

107
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: He hasn't been yet.

108
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: That's something to stay tuned for for the rest of

109
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: the series and beyond that, as Jose devers major league

110
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: career has just begun. But anyways, after the shout out

111
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: last night, Marlins will have a full night's sleep.

112
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: Hopefully they're not awake when this is up.

113
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't know why that would matter, it in fact doesn't,

114
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: but the Marlins will send Sandy Alcantra to the mound against.

115
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: Alex Wood, who pitched five of.

116
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: The shutout innings against the Marlins.

117
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: At Fish Stripes.

118
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: Will have some coverage written of this series and a

119
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: postgame show for one of the middle of games as well.

120
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: So stay tuned for that from us.

121
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: But tune into these games and see what these Marlins

122
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: are really just getting started, not even twenty games into

123
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: the season. So we'll be back to your ears on

124
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: the podcast.

125
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: Network on Monday. See you then,
