1
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: Fresh episode of fish Bites. Sort of. It's Eli Susman here.

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: You're managing editor at fish Stripes, covering all things Miami

3
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: Marlins in ways that nobody else exactly does. Running that

4
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: website fishstripes dot com every single day, new articles for

5
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: you covering a variety of topics Marlins related across social media.

6
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: Very proud of what we do on Twitter at fish Stripes,

7
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: same handle on Facebook, on Instagram, where we're this close

8
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: to getting one thousand followyers. Please help us reach that

9
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: milestone if you're not already following us there. Even on

10
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: YouTube and on TikTok we have accounts as well, covering

11
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: all your different content and entertainment while we still deal

12
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: with this delayed twenty twenty season. Now, I say that

13
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: this is an unconventional episode of fish Bites because it

14
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: is pairing with an article series that we've had on

15
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: the website ever since the season got delayed, reviewing the

16
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: Marlins Games of the decade, the very best Marlins games

17
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: from twenty ten through twenty nineteen. I picked those years

18
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: partly at a convenience because Major League Baseball has made

19
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: those full game broadcasts very easily available on YouTube. You

20
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: can rewatch the vast majority of all those games for

21
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: free on YouTube that the Marlins have played over the

22
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: last ten years. It is a ten year stretch, though,

23
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: where the team has been terrible in most cases mediocre

24
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: at best. They didn't make the playoffs in any of

25
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: those ten seasons. They didn't even finish above the five

26
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: hundred mark at all during that entire decade. But the

27
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: entire premise of the series is to highlight the fact

28
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: that on individual occasions, baseball, even without all that at stake,

29
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: has the power to inspire us, to make us deliriously happy,

30
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: to make us cry, feel all these strong emotions by

31
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: watching these games during the regular season, and that's what

32
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: we miss most about twenty twenty. Heading into the season

33
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: where the Marlins were unlikely to be contending for the

34
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: playoffs again, they were expected to be last in the

35
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: stacked National Leagueese Division, Yet we were all looking forward

36
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: to all the individual storylines and all these moments that

37
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: get created. Even during the most unfortunate of seasons, you

38
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: find these little pockets of joy and inspiration. By revealing

39
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: the last ten seasons, I was able to pick out

40
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: more than a dozen of these games. We've had full

41
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: articles on the website where I provided some play by

42
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: play throughout the game and highlighted individual moments, and then

43
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: of course shared the link to the full game podcasts.

44
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: Just because there's still this big void in all our

45
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: lives where you don't have any of these other live

46
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: sporting events going on, people have time to rewatch this

47
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: type of stuff, and it's been a pleasure to try

48
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: to bring that to you. Hours upon hours of games

49
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: to rewatch, And of course the wrinkle here is that

50
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: every single one of these games were Marlin's wins. I

51
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: wanted to condense the experience into a single piece of contents,

52
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: and that piece of content is going to be audio

53
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: here on episode of Fish Bites that condenses all these

54
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: games into one with the excellent play by play calls

55
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: that we've had through the years on TV from Rich

56
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: Waltz and Tommy Huntson, on the radio all these years,

57
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: Dave van Horn, Glenn Geffner, and some of these games

58
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: just the past two seasons with the pairing of Todd

59
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: Hollinsworth and Paul Severino in the booth. So I want

60
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: to bring you those signature play by play calls from

61
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: these games of the decade you can find the games

62
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: in their entirety on the website. But if you just

63
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: want the very peak moments of excitement, jubilation, drama packed

64
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: into a single episode from all those games, then you

65
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: have tuned in to the right place. We're going to

66
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: go in chronological order. If we've been following the series

67
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: on the website, I kind of hopped around a little bit.

68
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: I started with a twenty eighteen game, then went back

69
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: to twenty ten and filled it in in the middle.

70
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: For the organization purposes of this pod, we're gonna put

71
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: all these games in order in chronological order. We're going

72
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: to start, of course, with the games in twenty ten,

73
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: first one being June twenty ninth, twenty ten. That was

74
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: a game the Mets versus the Marlins in Puerto Rico.

75
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: The Marlins were the nominal home team for this game.

76
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: That fell behind early and then they rallied in a

77
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: big way during the middle innings. Final score was seven

78
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: to six, and on the way, slugging second baseman Dan

79
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: the man Ugla pulverized a home run to left field.

80
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 2: We would be unable to move it to sun spots.

81
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 3: Oh God, Hammerson left field day YadA.

82
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 4: Well, we thought the ball would be jumping tonight like

83
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 4: it did last night.

84
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: Next up, July nineteenth of twenty ten, only a few

85
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: weeks after that first game, this one with the Rockies

86
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: visiting the Marlins. Ubaldo Jimenez getting the start for the

87
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: Rockies at the peak of his powers, and surprisingly we

88
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: got another high scoring affair with back and forth situation,

89
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: the Marlins trailing all the way into the bottom of

90
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 1: the ninth, and then the most unlikely of heroes, Donnie

91
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: Murphy hits a home run, a walk off to the

92
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: Marlins eight nine to eight win.

93
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 5: Listen, Murphy drives it right field, hits it, Deacons as

94
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 5: bad and.

95
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 6: It's gone time likely source and the Marlin's walk off

96
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 6: with an incredible web Donnie Murphy, my goodness.

97
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 7: And the top it all and opposite field shot brough

98
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 7: Donnie Murphy.

99
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 4: Our South Florida fourth spotlight of the game. You write

100
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 4: a script like this and it's rejected.

101
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 5: All.

102
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: In September one of that same season, in twenty ten,

103
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: the Marlins hosts the rebuilding Nationals and they get off

104
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: to a huge lead. The game is not in doubt whatsoever.

105
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: Is Marlins pile up double digit runs in the first

106
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: few innings of the game. Chris Volstad on the mounds,

107
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: having a decent start, but some drama heading into this game,

108
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: and some drama in the early endings between the Marlins

109
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: and outfielder Niger Morgan gets hit by pitch his second

110
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: or third time up in the game, and then the

111
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: time after that, after getting hit by the pitch the

112
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: previous time, Bullstad throws at him again, throws a pitch

113
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: behind him, and that incites a crazy brawl starring Vullstead,

114
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: Morgan and Gabby Sanchez hammering Morgan with an excellent clothesline.

115
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: And Bullstad throws behind him. He's charging the bound Morgan's.

116
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 4: Coming after him, and the Marlins are pubbling him. Do

117
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 4: this Morgan at the bottom of the pile. Both bench

118
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 4: is empty. Niger Morgan went after Chris Bulstead. I think

119
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 4: Cabby he sis has got a big piece of him.

120
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 7: Cabby got a good piece of him. He went after

121
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 7: Chris Goldstad. Volstad stood his ground and the rest of

122
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 7: the Washington Nationals can't thank Niger Morgan for everything that

123
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 7: just happened.

124
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: He's their teammate.

125
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: Fast forward to twenty twelve, the opening of New Marlins Park,

126
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: It's May thirteenth, Mother's Day and the Marlins off two

127
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: decent starts of the season. They're hosting the Mets. Carlos

128
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: and Bronco gives him a very good start. People forget

129
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: how good Sombrono was early in that season, but the

130
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: Mets rally back later into the game. They take a

131
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: lead heading into the ninth. The Marlins tied up, though,

132
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: and make it four to four. Load the bases with

133
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: gian Carlos Stanton coming to the plate, and he makes

134
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: it a very happy Mother's Day. Indeed with his walk

135
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: off grand slam eight to four Marlins. The final score were.

136
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 3: Stand against the cost the bags loaded two outs, tie game,

137
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: ninth inning.

138
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 5: Try and time.

139
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 6: Time lock off. Happy Mother's time, Right baby.

140
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: Over the next couple of years, right hander Jose Fernandez

141
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: emerges as the face of the franchise When's Rookie of

142
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: the Year in twenty thirteen, looks dynamic to start twenty fourteen,

143
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: and then tears his elbow, misses over a full year

144
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: of action, and returns triumphantly from Tommy John surgery on

145
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: July seconds, twenty fifteen, hosting the San Francisco Giants. Not

146
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: his best start a guy that was the most dominant

147
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: we've ever seen pitching in front of the Marlins Park crowd.

148
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: But the team is trailing heading into the middle innings

149
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: and Fernandez takes an opportunity to bat for himself. This

150
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: entire sequence is absolutely amazing, So it's a little long,

151
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: but bear with me as you can hear all the

152
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: great observations from Rich Waltz and Tommy huddon leading up

153
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: to Fernandez's time at bat and then reacting to his

154
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: no doubt home run that really electrified the whole building

155
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: and ignited a rally in that ending as the Marlins

156
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: go on to defeat the Giants in Jose's return.

157
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 8: We saw this last year so many times. He didn't

158
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 8: even look at Dan Jennings. Okay, get the rag wife,

159
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 8: bop the face. Let me have my helmet in my bat.

160
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 8: I want to get in the on deck circle before

161
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 8: they have time to talk with things over. You can

162
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 8: see dj talking to Chucker.

163
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 9: Dad is in the background and Bernanda is a lead

164
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 9: off against Kane.

165
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: It throws a fastball for a strike, so it's Bernanda's

166
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: Dee Gordon Christian Yellich three one, San Francisco bottom five

167
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 2: McCain sixty two pitches into this.

168
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 5: Bawl, kidding.

169
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: Bernando's family, but Tomather in the middle there. Kane would

170
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: certainly help with that big double play last inning. Bernandez

171
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 2: let field. That's steep, that.

172
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 6: Is God're getting in.

173
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 2: Welcome back Jose Fernandez. A solo shot you, Patty wanted

174
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: to hit. How he am. You've gotta be getting ready.

175
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 2: Let big games begin.

176
00:11:43,360 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 9: Unbelievable second career home run for Jose Fernandez.

177
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: Well, as he said before the ball game, he told me.

178
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: In the minor league rehabs, I've been swinging it better

179
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 3: than I've been throwing it.

180
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: He couldn't wait to talk. Hdi Thordon fouls it back

181
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: to the screen. So it's three to two.

182
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 10: Our Warren Henry drive of the game, and I think

183
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 10: even Brian McCann would approve of the home run truck.

184
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 6: Boorn all right, Dde and God.

185
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 5: Up for tank three run shot, and the Marlins lost

186
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 5: their way to the league first st.

187
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: It's Fernandez, next s it's poor, stay high, justin poor.

188
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: He's over at three consecutive games. Don't leave it there.

189
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: To the big guy. He has some big time power.

190
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: August seventh, twenty sixteen. The Marlins did not shy away

191
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: from the fact that a big incentive for them to

192
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: sign free agent Ichiro Suzuki, future Hall of Famer was

193
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: for him to get his three thousandth major league career

194
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: hit in their uniform. Deep into his second season with

195
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: the team, he gets a rare start for them on

196
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: the road against the Rockies. Marlins take a big early

197
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: lead in the game, the Rockies battle back. Eachiero's first

198
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: three times up in the game gets out three separate times,

199
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: but finally he really gets into one, pulling it down

200
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: the right field line right off the wall for a triple,

201
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: reaching three thousand hits with style in an eventual Marlins

202
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,239
Speaker 1: road win. Listen up, it's two old.

203
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 5: He trot to right, empty back, goes part to the

204
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 5: lawn and it's off the low. Three thousand is in

205
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 5: a right field and he tru is racing for third

206
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 5: and he's done it.

207
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: He's climbing the mountains. A triple.

208
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 5: And he has arrived at three thousand.

209
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: September twenty sixth, twenty sixteen, the Marlins, all of South Florida,

210
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: the international baseball community is still reeling from the tragic

211
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: death of Hose Fernandez the previous day in a boating accident.

212
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: The Marlins are hosting the Mets. Every single player on

213
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: the roster is wearing number sixteen and Fernandez on the

214
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: back of their uniform. They take the field and an

215
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: emotional tribute to Fernandez and facing off against Bartol Cologne.

216
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: Dee Gordon is the leadoff hitter at the bottom of

217
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: the first inning, someone who is especially close to Jose.

218
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: The very first swing he takes is no doubt home

219
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: run into the upper deck in right field, tears streaming

220
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: down his face as he rounds the bases in perhaps

221
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: the defining moment of recent years.

222
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 11: Gordon alright, it's d and it's gone day.

223
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 4: Gordon has hit it out and the Marlins having one

224
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 4: nothing lead.

225
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: Eight months later, June third, twenty seventeen, Edinson Volcez gets

226
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: a start at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Very first

227
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: batter of the game, he gets into a collision at

228
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: first base injures his ankle. Doesn't even know if he'll

229
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: be able to continue in the game, and he ends

230
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: up having a special special performance no hitter, the most

231
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: recent one in Marlin's history, even gets a hit for himself.

232
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: Final score Marlin's three dback zero real and after the game,

233
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: Bulkez dedicates it to the late great Jose Fernandez as

234
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: well as his former teammate ordno Ventura.

235

250
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 12: place right now. And enjoy this moment right now.

251
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: August twenty seventh, twenty seventeen. This is the absolute peak

252
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: of the quote unquote old core that the Marlins had

253
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: hosting the San Diego Padres. The Marlins with that fearsome

254
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: heart of the lineup, getting enough help from the rest

255
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: of their supporting cast as well, and the hero in

256
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: this one, Gean Carlos Stanton, breaking up a two to

257
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: two tie in the later endings with his fiftieth home

258
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: run of the season en route to winning the National

259
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: League MVP. Final score was six to two Marlins.

260
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 10: Stanton now with a runner at first, Stanley, Times, ETCETERA fifty.

261
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: Call Caesar sixty Kers the center, it takes the lane

262
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: and Jean call Justin caps On Claus time and time

263
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: and time again.

264
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: March thirtieth, twenty eighteen. It's a new era from Marlin's Baseball.

265
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: The team has been sold, the old corps has been dismantled,

266
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: and on this night they pick up their very first

267
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: win of the Derek Jeter era. But it took everything

268
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: they had to get it done. A great defensive play

269
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: in the top of the fifteenth inning to preserve a

270
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: one to one tie, and then a walk off in

271
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: the bottom of the seventeenth.

272
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 13: Listen up Harlan Garcia still going strong five innings to

273
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 13: this point. Garattini the runner on at third, Rizzo the

274
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 13: runner at second, and Contreras is at first.

275
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 11: The Cubs, with runners in scoring position two for eighteen

276
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 11: in the series, hot shot to first, Dietrich patch first

277
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 11: base and then throws home the double play.

278
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 3: Dietrich, sprawling to his left fielded that ball right at

279
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: the first base bag, touched the base fire to Wallach,

280
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 3: who applied the tag on Carratini.

281
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: How about that a three to two double play. The

282
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 2: Marlins escape.

283
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 13: Bottom of the seventeenth inning, two on and two out,

284
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 13: and it's our first look and the Cups first regular

285
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 13: season look at Brandon Marrow.

286
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 3: And Rojas hit the center field of face hit, They'll

287
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 3: wave Anderson around.

288
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 2: Here comes a throw he stares in. The Mirlins pick

289
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 2: up the vendury at seventeen. Miguel rohas the hero time.

290
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: And the most recent of our games of the decade

291
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: from August tenth, twenty nineteen, the University of Miami Night

Speaker 1: comeback great rally in the bottom of the ninth just

293
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,280

00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: extra endings it's the respected vet Martine Prado with a

295
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,399

Speaker 14: I'll tell you what it was, a clean exchanged by

301
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 14: the Braves. And look at the throw from Culberson right
