WEBVTT - Marlins All-Star Special and Updated State of the Rotation 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:00.800 Sometimes White. 0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:03.200 You're listening to Fish on First on Foul Territory. 0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:27.600 Network, already Fishing Filtered, episode one to eleven. Busy week 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.240 with the Marlins. There's a lot going on. The MLB 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.519 Draft is coming up, All Star weekend, the Derby, all 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:35.559 that stuff. But the Marlins find themselves in a really 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:38.640 good spot. They're currently at the moment of recording, they 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.240 are fifty one and forty two, so nine games over 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:44.800 five hundred, tied with the Philadelphia Phillies for the second 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:48.480 wildcard spot. Phillies are if the season were end today, 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.120 the Phillies do get the second I believe because of 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:54.160 season head to head, But Marlins aren't a really good 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.720 spot currently. You know the team right below them, which 0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:58.880 is the Saint Louis Cardinals, who are just out of 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.320 the wildcard spot, only two games out of it, so 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.120 pretty good cushion. And you could even make the case 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.080 that the Moms are in a fight for the division 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.600 only three games out of the top spot. So here 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:12.000 with isaacazooit aj Ramos, Isaac, it's a fun time to 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:16.800 be covering this team, watching this team. It can't get 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:18.280 any better than this, to be honest with you. 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.040 Yeah, I mean, I was trying to think of the 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.000 last time the Marlins were this many games over five 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.000 hundred at this stage in the season. I didn't have 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.319 to look back too much. Obviously it was twenty twenty three, 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.880 or on July fifth, they were fourteen games over five hundred. 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.800 You just sort of forget how good and I guess 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.920 I don't want to say lucky, but just how crazy. 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.280 That team was led by Skip Schumacher and Kim Ang. 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:40.760 But this just seems a little bit different. It seems 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:44.680 it feels more sustainable. It feels like this team, genuinely speaking, 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:46.920 is one of the powerhouse teams in the National League, 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.120 which is just it feels weird to say in mouth 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:53.160 on this show, given just how many years of ninety 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:57.480 plus lost seasons we've covered you and me, Kevin, So 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.559 it's great to see. Just since the month of June, 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:04.640 it's been spectacular. Being fifteen and two at home over 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.800 the last seventeen contests there is just really incredible, and 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:09.760 to really form one of the better hopefield advantages in 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.520 all of Major League Baseball despite the lack of crowd 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.000 is just it's special, and it's something special is going 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:15.600 on down here. 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.360 Yeah, the Marlins are one of eight National League teams 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.040 with a plus run differential. They have the sixth highest 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.000 of those. And you look at the Phillies, they have 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.359 a negative ten run differential. They should be three games 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.800 under five hundred per the expected win losses. But aj, 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:33.440 you know, just how fun is this? 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:33.679 Man? 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:35.960 You look? I think a big reason for this success 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.560 has been the offense. We're going to talk about one 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.799 of the pieces that they just lost, but just how 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.359 good has its been? Especially after the series in Colorado 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.440 the had Saint Louis the Sacramento one, like the power 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:48.480 was on full display. 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:51.720 No, it's it's been a glow up. 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.880 Honestly, I think this team has always been exciting, even 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.680 last year when I first started to work around June 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:03.720 around it's been a year now. The team, even their 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.120 losses seem exciting and you can see that they were 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.919 competitive all the way up into the last out, and 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:14.440 now they've transitioned okay, being competitive to winning ball games, 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.959 to being in every ball game into competing and keeping 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.320 leads once they get them, and even if they're down, 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.240 they're still battling to the last to the last out. 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.600 And it's funny, man, I mean, a lot of talk 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.760 was was being said about the way the Marlins were 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.600 doing things, all of their innovation, oh the pitch calling, 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:33.359 all these. 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.920 Different things, and now look what's happening right now. It's working. 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:40.160 What they're doing is working their systems, the things that 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:44.080 they have been put in place. The players are all 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.960 bought in coaching this whole the whole organization is brought 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.440 into this whole system and it's paying off for them. 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.120 So it's really exciting to watch. It's really cool to 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:57.119 see the growth of these guys. A lot of young 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:01.960 guys on this team, and they to be adapting to 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.160 the league a lot faster. And it is because of 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:07.160 the information that they're given, and not just the information 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:08.960 that they're given, but the way that they're giving it 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.280 as well. They're able to translate it to where the 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.680 players can understand it to then apply it, and that's 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.280 one of the biggest things. So I think you're seeing 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.800 the team head it in the right direction and I'm 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.920 really interested to see, you know, where this leads, Like 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:24.800 at the end of the season, what are we going 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.360 to be looking at? Right And it's exciting to think 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.680 about because you see the way they're playing and you 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:34.400 see the potential of making a playoff run and just 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.800 you know how baseball is, man, it doesn't matter what 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.359 your record is when you get into the playoff mode. 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:43.080 It's anybody's game. Like you get hot at the right time. 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:47.560 It doesn't matter what your roster says, or the payroll whatever, 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.919 It doesn't matter what any of that says. It matters 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.320 about the the best team playing at the end of 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.280 the year. And once you make it, if you make 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.240 it to the playoffs, then you have a chance to 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:57.120 be that team. 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.200 And I'm sorry, go ahead, no, I was just gonna say. 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.599 I mean, Aja talks about, you know, a wild card, 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.880 Like you look at the Marls rotation. It's what Sandy 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.040 uri max and you could put them in any order. 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.800 You never know what can happen, especially you know, pitching 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.560 is so important in the postseason, you know, especially you 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.400 know with the guys that they do have the options 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.599 that they have, Tyler Phillips could come out of the bullpen, 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.960 you know, and any with those situations, you could start 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.920 a game, you know, Like I feel like if obviously 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:26.839 health is health permitting, Like if the Marlins are in 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:28.960 a situation where if the season were to end today 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.360 and you're one of the postseason. They're in a much 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.440 better spot than I think they were in twenty twenty three. 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.159 On top of that, I think this offense is just 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.160 so much better than the one we saw in twenty three, Isaac. 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.400 I know we've tried to do our comparisons from that 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.120 twenty three team, even to compare a little bit in 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.720 twenty five how we thought that five team was even better. 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.760 But truly, this is I think for us to at 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.239 least the best team we've covered since starting on the beat, 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.080 and I don't think it comes close. Like the bullpen 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.200 that twenty three had is obviously phenomenal, and the pitching 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.159 that they had was really good even with Sandy out, 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.839 But twenty twenty six this team is so much better 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:02.080 on so many different levels. 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.040 Yeah, I mean pretty much everyone that's getting a regular 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:08.480 playing time at the play is sporting an OPS plus. 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.719 Over league acage over one hundred. 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.880 I mean you look down to their number eight hitters, 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.359 you know, with freaking Ariberta Hernandez sometimes sitting down there 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.160 and he's got an OPS plus a one to twenty. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.640 It's just such a lengthened lineup. It feels that you know, 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.080 they're never out of a ballgame. That's so big for 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.800 these starting pitchers, for guys like Tyler Phillips, guys like 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.279 Sandy and Uri, they don't need to have their A 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.479 stuff every single time because they know their offense is 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:32.200 can pick them up. 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.240 And that's just a huge asset to have. 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.400 And I think a good offense is just as important 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.440 as as pitching a defense. Despite everyone's saying it's pitching 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.160 a defense, you need to have a good offense too. 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:42.040 Look at the. 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.760 Twenty seventeen Astros, you know, look at the twenty sixteen Cubs. 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.400 You had good offenses and that's what really helps you 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.279 catapult yourself into World Series. 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:49.640 Contention. 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.359 One guy I want to shout out real quick is 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.280 Javier Sonoha. He's having an awesome month to start this month, 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.840 a nine oh seven ops. He's writing a four game 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.520 head streak. We know we spoke about the production at 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.839 third how it just hasn't been good to be you know, 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.400 the Marl and so have some of the worst third 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.000 base production in baseball. I was actually looking I looked 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.360 us up yesterday as between all the third basemen combined, 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.200 they have four home runs hit as a group. There 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.240 in the position that you would think you'd usually get 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.840 some more juice. But Sonoha has certainly been a you know, 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.760 a help there for sure, So shout out to him, 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:25.560 but really quick on the housekeeping side of things. Two 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.440 roster moves not confirmed yet because we're recording this before them, 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.840 but Christina Dinokolovan will be dot Com reported that Reese 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.720 Hines is getting recalled from TRIPA A Jacksonville. He was 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.400 acquired from the Cincinnati Reds when he was in DFA limbo. 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.880 The Marlins traded Zach mccanberley the other way. Mccabley's been 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:42.920 up a couple of times, up and in like an 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.720 up and down situation, and then going on the injury list. 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.040 We will assume it's going to be Owen Casey, who 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.280 left the game after just like the top of the 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.000 first because of a right calf strains I believe what 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:57.480 it was or tightness. Obviously tough loscarus case he really 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.680 had finally gotten a going, but Reese Hine will probably 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.640 provide you some power. The big issue with with Heines 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.400 is obviously the high strike out rate. If we thought 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.120 Casey struck out a lot, Heines is up there too. 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.760 In that sense, Isaac thoughts, I guess on Heines, how 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:13.520 tough is it to lose Casey after he thought you 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.800 were finally lengthening out this lineup at full strength. Casey 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.440 obviously a huge part of that, and I know, you know, 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.520 he was huge against right handed pitching, didn't really face 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.360 a lot of lefties. But still, I think you're getting 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.280 to a point with Casey where you're finally starting to 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.120 see that early season Casey, but a little bit on 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:31.239 a more consistent level. 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.480 Yeah, with Hines, it will be sort of like a 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.439 shot in the dark. You know, they're hoping that their 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.720 development team can unlock something with Heines, who you know, 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.280 a former top draft pick. I think it was a 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.280 second round pick in the same year that Blade was 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.560 drafted in twenty nineteen. And he has really just proven 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.559 what he can do at the upper miners. There's nothing 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.600 left for him to prove, and unfortunately a very limited 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.440 sample size in the major league. He just has not 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:54.959 been able to hit, has not been able to put 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.520 the ball in play, and to be fair, he has 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.400 not gotten a ton of runway with Cincinnati when he 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.640 was in the major league, So it'll be interesting to 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.040 see I think this is also a timely call up, 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.319 just because they have a couple of lefties on their 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:12.120 schedule upcoming this weekend against Cleveland, does Miami and then 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:13.920 through the all stop breaks. So maybe you know we 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.000 won't see Hines for that long. But I think if 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:17.679 there were a different time of year, or if it 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.320 were a different injury, we would have seen Kemp Alderman. 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.480 But I think this is just to sort of see 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.120 if they can get lightning out of a bottle here. 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.480 And then on the other hand, Janson Junk. We're recording 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.240 this on Thursday before Janson Junk is set to make 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.120 his first start off the injured list. AJ, what have 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.160 been your thoughts on Junk this season so far? What 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.800 do you think had worked for him and hasn't worked 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.920 for him? It's been a lot of mixed results so far. 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:42.800 I'm sure he's gonna be on a pitch County won't 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.720 go very long, maybe four five innames. He only made 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.840 two rehab starts, one of them was cut short because 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.320 of the He got hit with a comeback on the 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:55.120 wrist and put through a pitch design on Monday. On Tuesday, 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.600 and yesterday was announced that he would be starting Thursday's game. 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:01.880 Yeah, I mean it's good to have someone like Junk 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.400 back in the fold. I feel like he gave you 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.520 consistent starts every time every fifth day when he took 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:12.720 the ball, so and it felt like he's figured out 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:18.640 something since last year or yeah, last year and this year, 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:22.000 I feel like he's really turned a corner. So I think, 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.680 you know, having another solid arm in your rotation, another 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:29.480 guy that can can get you some some innings, it's 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:33.360 also going to help out the bullpen, and uh, you know, 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.040 I I just feel like, you know, he's he's really 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:37.800 raised the ball on what he's been able to do. 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.160 I mean, he's always he's had to be a control guy. 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.480 But along with that control, it seems like they tweaked 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.720 the pitch usage and they tweaked just a few things 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:51.200 on on how to maximize not only the location that 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.320 he has, but the pitch tunneling as well. 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.440 So I feel like he's a guy that. 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.720 You know, is a stabilizer in in the in the 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.719 staring staff, and there's another guy that can can give 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:07.520 you some link and again, uh, the way this bullpen 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:12.400 has performed, especially with the starting injuries, the injuries to 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.480 the starters has been amazing and so now you get 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:19.040 another starter back, it could possibly potentially give you a 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:20.760 little bit more rest on that on the back end 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:22.640 of the bullpen. I'm sure that those guys need it, 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:24.880 even though the All Star breaks coming up, you know, 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.880 so they're gonna be extra rested. And when you have 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.520 the talent that you have in that bullpen and they 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:35.360 have some rest and it's to restart that that's even 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.360 more deadly that they can be back there. So it's 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.319 gonna be it's gonna be good to have him back, 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.480 and uh, it's good to it's good for Junk to 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.160 be back as well, because I feel like he was 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:49.040 really starting to cement the way he was throwing and 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.359 figure some things out to to really maximize his abilities. 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:56.840 Yeah, you've got your rotation set for the next at 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:58.520 least a month or so two months, and this could 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.600 be all the way through, should we say October. I 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.320 think that's what you got because you were hoping maybe 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.760 on Snelling and Thomas White contributing if things were to 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.680 get sexy in the second half of the season, but 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.640 unfortunately that's not gonna be the case. But this could 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.000 be on barring anything on the trade deadline. This could 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.360 be your your starting five during crunch time. 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.040 The season, It's summertime. 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.000 You know what we do at FT We look for hacks. 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.320 How can we feel like we can do it all 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.800 outside with something that's breathable, something that feels premium. 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:28.160 FABLETICX hooks us up. 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.280 I've got the cloud jersey t It is super soft Crats, 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.400 but it works at the gym, it works when I'm 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.240 on the show, it works when I'm going to meetings. 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.720 It is the true super utility player. 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.080 Same here.

Tyler Phillips, a guy 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:22.760 who went five innings the other day, You could have 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:24.560 even like I was a little surprised he took him 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.439 out pretty early in the game because he actually on 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.960 he could go longer in games. He went eight in 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.760 Saint Louis, I believe, and you could give you some length, 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.280 but they did decided not to do that, you know, 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.280 especially on a day where you knew after Junk was 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.080 gonna come back and he wasn't gonna go very long, 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.200 So they went with Gibson out of the pen for 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.200 two Peterson and the end of it with with Fairbanks, 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.960 who his last two outings have been pretty good. Or 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.080 are you Are you fine with where they're at there? 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.760 Do you still think they should add another starter if 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.120 they are in a position a month from now to 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:56.679 buy or a couple of weeks from that at this 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:00.559 point to buy, or do you think this is it, 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.920 this is what they'll go with and they're finally regardless 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:05.800 of you know, lack of depth and triple A. 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.040 Yeah, I can't complain with the results regarding yesterday's telor 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.679 Phillips start because anytime you have a combined shutout, obviously 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:16.920 they did the right thing. But I think this must 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.200 be with later on this season, like the future being 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.080 kept in mind here, because with Tyler, they obviously feel 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:24.440 he's gonna be started for the rest of the season, 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:26.200 if not maybe the rest of his Marlins career. 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:26.920 I don't know. 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:28.560 I I'm not sure why they didn't stretch him out 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.920 last year if that were the case, but it would be. 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:33.360 Fine if you had. 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:37.160 You know that Thomas White or Robbie snowing down there 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.400 ready to contribute and help. I'm not sure what they 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.720 think about Brax and Garrett at this point. Honestly, I'm 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:43.800 surprised we haven't seen him either, because he could fill 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.480 a role in either long as a long man in 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.760 the bullpen or in the starting rotation. But the fact 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.360 that they haven't gone to him yet it's a little bit, 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:55.480 you know, eye opening a bit. So if it were me, 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:57.400 I definitely would be adding at least a little bit 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.680 of pitching depth at the deadline, and from what I've heard, 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.360 I haven't heard Sodian pitcher or relieve. But I've just 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.440 heard long Man Bridge type guys that could help contribute 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.760 at some point, but you just don't want to have 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.040 to go up and call up Dax Fulton or Bradley Blaylock. 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.400 No offense of those guys, but they could use a 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.080 little bit more depth here because we don't know how 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:18.600 long year he's gonna be able to go deep in 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:19.920 the games. They don't even let him go deep in 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.160 a perfect game. You don't know how long Tylor Philps 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:23.760 can go into games. You don't know how deep Jens 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:25.960 and Jungle be able to go into games. So I 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.520 think some more innings would behoove this. 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.920 Team, all right, Moving on to the All Star All 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.600 Star weekends coming up. I know AJ was able to 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:38.040 participate in one of those. Must have been fun, real quick, 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:41.359 Max Meyer, Auto Lopez, the Marlins two All Star representatives, 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.000 first time since twenty twenty three. They'll have multiple guys 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.960 going to the Midsummer Classic. Who knows, maybe another one goes. 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.880 Zach Wheeler obviously should be added in there, and I 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:53.400 believe he's not added because he can't pitch the game, 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:57.000 which is stupid because he certainly has earned himself the 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:00.720 right to go. Robleski from the Dodgers probably may go 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.920 to assuming, you know, all the good guys start to 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.520 fall out. But Sandy could have a shot. Everyone seems 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:07.360 to be under the impression, just the way he's thrown 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.960 the last month, that he could have a shot. He's 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.200 the innings leader, leads IMLB an innings pitched. That was 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.320 the talk of the town yesterday that they think maybe 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:19.360 Sandy could be added to the roster. But Isaac and 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.760 I see your face. I think you don't think Sandy's 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.560 very deserving, which is fine, but thoughts on Maxinatto getting in. 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.160 There are two guys who are very deserving of it, 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.720 and I think a couple of snubs on the Marlins side. 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:33.440 I think with with Liam and Xavier Edwards. 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.920 That I don't think Sandy's deserving. I think he's deserving 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:37.800 every year when you're leading the league in innings pitch. 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:43.040 I just don't think he has performed the last month though. 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.680 Yeah he has the wins, but even he's just been 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.400 you know, there's too many big numbers there on his 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:54.080 line from what I think in order to be appointed, 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.440 I'm not sure, but I don't I don't see it. 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:58.440 Take a lot of these days for a picture to 0:16:58.440 --> 0:16:58.800 get in there. 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.720 I feel like right well and with Auto and Max, 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:06.040 just two complete fantastic stories from different ends of the spectrum. 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.120 Right you have a number three overall pick in Max Meyer, 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.640 who has really dealt with such a myriad of injuries 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:13.520 all his entire career. He's been told he's a reliever 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:15.879 by me and a lot of people. 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:17.080 Since he was drafted. 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.760 Right he was even closing games out for Minnesota in college, 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.200 so we all thought that was his future. I thought 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.800 that they were wasting everyone's time by having him the rotation, 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.239 and he has just proven everyone wrong in such a 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.640 big prolific weight, not losing his first game until July 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.960 of this year. So incredibly deserving for Max Meyer and 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.040 Otto Lopez, like we always say, designated the for assignment 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:40.080 twice before the twenty twenty four season, Miami picked him 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.320 up for nothing. We saw the potential with the glove 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.600 right away in twenty twenty four, we saw some potential 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:47.520 with the bat last year, and it has all come 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.000 together here in twenty twenty six into one of the 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:52.760 best individual seasons I've seen by Marlon shortstop since Haley 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:55.280 Ramirez was yere in two thousand and nine, So incredibly 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:59.000 deserving for both of them, and honestly two of the 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.000 better guys in that club house. Max sort of keeps 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.760 himself a little bit quiet, and then Auto Lope is 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:05.520 just one of the nicer guys in the entire league. 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.240 So really deserved for them both, and very happy. 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:10.639 Max won't be pitching the All Star Game because he 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:16.280 lined up the pitch yesterday against Seattle or Monday or Tuesday, sorry, 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.399 and he is going to pitch Sunday, So the series 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:21.920 finale against the Guardians, he will be in Philly. He's 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:25.159 going to go through all the festivities. He'll be introduced 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:29.280 to I'm sure a booming crowd of Phillies fans when 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.040 they introduced the violins because of the and the least 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:35.720
