1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to Big Fish Small Pod. I'm a two Wardell,

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: your host here at the Fish Strips Podcast Network every

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: Wednesday and Friday. I'm here to catch you up on yesterday,

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: give you the latest in Fish Strips coverage of the

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: Miami Marlin season. And in a word, really, for those

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: of you who want just a word, yesterday was about potential.

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: I'd argue there's a lot more to it than that.

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: Potential kind of just is a thing, and it's not

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: the point you can see it in things. Obviously, It's

10
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: not everyone who can throw a ninety five mile an

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: hour change up like Garrett Cole or hit one hundred

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: and the ninth inning of US start. Few can do it,

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: and even few are doing it, and even fewer are

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: doing it sustainably and consistently, and over a long time,

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: baseball's a weird off. Days are weirder, and yesterday Miami

16
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: Marlands broke ground on a new thirty five acre baseball

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: Academy and the Dominican Republic as their international effort continues.

18
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: Renderings and specifications were released via Marlins Media on Beyond

19
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: the Bases as the Marlins continue their effort to filter

20
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: in talent to their organization. As now, talent in the

21
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: Dominican Republic can look towards the Marlins Academy with their

22
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: family and see a future in South Florida in baseball.

23
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: As the academy opens in the coming years, students will

24
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: both have their education requirement and baseball requirements met in

25
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: the actual developmental leagues over stateside. The Jupiter Hammerheads got

26
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: to work after defense let them down last week. Twenty twenty.

27
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: Second round pick Dax Fulton got back at it, and

28
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: through two innings he'd allowed just as single to go

29
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: with five strikeouts to start the game. In the third,

30
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: after walking the leadoff batter with pitches far outside the zone,

31
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: a double got the Mets in business against deck Dax,

32
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: who then walked the next batter with pitches well inside

33
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: and the bases were loaded. Runners scored on a force

34
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: out and a sack fly fairly weak contact before Dax

35
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: picked off the runner at first to end the inning,

36
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: showing great composure between batters after control issues loaded the bases.

37
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: Dalvi Rosaria responded for the Hammerheads in the bottom of

38
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: the third with the leadoff single as the offense scored

39
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: two to tie the game. With more wildness from the

40
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: nineteen year old Dacks as he walked Jaylen Palmer, who

41
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: then stole second and then scored on a single. The

42
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: Mets manufactured run against Fulton and his night was over

43
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: after four innings, allowing three earned runs on three hits.

44
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: There's three walks and five strikeouts.

45

48
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: In Peoria, the Snappers sent out fellow twenty twenty drafty

49
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: Zach mccambley, the twenty two year old playing in High

50
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: A who had an enviable line with seven innings, pitched

51
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: nine strikeouts, zero walks, well four hits, did score two

52
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: runs against the game winner. They didn't get much going

53
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: against Zach. The middle of the Snap order got it

54
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: done for Beloit, as Cam Meisner, Troy Johnson, and Griffin

55
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: Conine combined for seven hits, three runs and three earned

56
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: runs batted in as the six run fifth inning won

57
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: the game for Bloit. Five consecutive two out hits culminated

58
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: in the basis clearing double for the twenty four year

59
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: old Dominican Marcos Rivera in the Upper Miners, Max Meyer

60
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: was wild for the Blue Wall who's in an almost

61
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: startling start, just a short four inning start again, Another

62
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: one of those for these twenty twenty draftees. Again it's

63
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: this is their first season in the pros. Absolutely no

64
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: hard feelings about it. Max Meyer last night was nearly

65
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: unhittable with his stuff, as he allowed just one hit,

66
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: but he counterbalanced his six strikeouts with a whopping seven

67
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: walks and a hit by pitch. Just wild night. Dylan

68
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: Biss did successfully piggyback the start with three shutout innings

69
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: in the Blue Wahoo offense regularly scored runs, as JJ

70
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: Blede said a career high with three RBIs behind two

71
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: singles that scored runs. The team scored five as the

72
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: offense went four for fifteen with runners in scoring position,

73
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: a high number of runners and scoring position thanks to

74
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: straight doubles, five doubles for the team as a whole,

75
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: and the Blue Water's mate solid contact one five to three.

76
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: In Charlotte, the twenty eight year old Eric Stout made

77
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: his first start for the Jumbo Shrimp and seemed beat

78
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: as two early count solo shots in the second put

79
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: the Shrimp behind. The Jumbo Shrimp battled back to score

80
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: two in the second on a sack fly in a

81
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: Zack Zerner single, but an Eric Stout's third inning, he

82
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: allowed another two home runs, this time interspersing walks and

83
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: a single, putting a man on and ultimately becoming the

84
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: losing pitcher as Stout pitched four innings, allowing seven runs

85
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: on four walks, four home runs, and collecting five strikeouts.

86
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: Preston gear May followed and made the Knights look fallible

87
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: with five strikeouts in two innings, but it was too

88
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: late for the Shrimp, as a seventh inning home run

89
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: for Bryce Brickman was the only punch this Shrimp had

90
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: left for June seventeen. As the probable next man up

91
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: behind Devin Morero, Bryce and Brickman has hit to start

92
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. With one hundred and twelve at bats,

93
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: he has thirty seven hits, three home runs, twelve runs

94
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: batted then for a triple slash line of three point

95
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: thirty batting average three to ninety two on base percentage

96
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: for an overall ops of nine ten. Solid hitting for

97
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: the former Seattle Mariner third round pick who's currently twenty

98
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: five and possibly poised to make the jump to the

99
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: major leagues. As the Miami Marlins themselves arrived in Chicago

100
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: around midday, Miguel Rojas was with them as this Friday

101
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: at Wrigley Field, they'll peep playing together Miguel Rojas and

102
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: his team for the first time since May twenty seventh.

103
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: Miguel Rojas's absence from the field has coincided with an

104
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: atrocio stretch on the road, as the Marlins have been

105
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: in don matting Leeward's throttled to a record of one

106
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: in eleven since Midgey's finger injury. It's an unignorable coincidence

107
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: because it's Miguel Rojas as a sort of emotional leader

108
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: for the Marlins, as both the longest tenured player and

109
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: a legitimate standout major league player that has developed at

110
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: the major league level and gone from back up to

111
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: stand out at shortstop, helping those supposed bottom feeders rise

112
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: to last year's National League Divisional Series, the Marlins will

113
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: face the Chicago Cubs for the first time since that

114
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty playoff year. With the wild Card Series in Chicago,

115
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: the Marlins held a seemingly over the hump Cubs offense

116
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: to just two runs in two games as the Marlins

117
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: swept behind six Dos Sanchez and Sandy al Contra. As

118
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: the Cubs now sit thirty eight and thirty, the window

119
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: might still be wide open for the twenty sixteen World

120
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Series winners. Nicole Cahill will have a series preview up

121
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: on Fish Stripes. Zach Davies will get the start for

122
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: the Cubs. Well, the Marlins have not yet named a starter.

123
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: We know there's a roster move come in with Miguel

124
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 1: Rojas coming back from the IL, and the likely starting

125
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: pitcher if we had to guess at this point, would

126
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: be Zach Thompson. That's it for now on the podcast.

127
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: As always, I've been a to you. We'd all on

128
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: the podcast network. We'll be back with you on Monday,

00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: and until then you can catch up with the latest

130
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: at Fresh Stripes
