1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: Hello Marlons fans, and welcome to this edition a Big 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: Fish Small Pod for Friday, July twenty first, two thousand, 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: twenty three, and if you are new to the Small Pod, 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: he would like to give you all the information about 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 1: the Marlins for that particular day all season long, in 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: ten minutes or less, and Marlon's fans, in this episode 7 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: of the Small Pod, I will be recapping. But has 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: been a not so great past couple series for the Fish. 9 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: They have dropped two straight series, and not just dropping 10 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: two games in either one, they have been swept in 11 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: both furies since the All Star Breaks, starting off with 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Orioles, which going into that game might have 13 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: been expected because the Baltimore Orioles have just been a 14 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: juggernaut this entire season, including as of late just recently 15 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: trading for Oakland A's pitcher Shintaro Fujinami, which should help 16 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: that bullpen with hurdy guys like you're your Cano in 17 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: Fewich Bautista. 18 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 2: But the Mormons cannot. 19 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: Handle the Orioles and then had to go to Saint Louis, 20 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: a team that has been. 21 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: Noted as sellers. 22 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: This deadline looked to be selled just deadline took three 23 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: games from the Fish. 24 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 2: This was not really expected. 25 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: I don't believe a lot of people had it as 26 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: their series prediction. The Marlins losing that series, and especially 27 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: three games getting swept was not ideal for the Fish 28 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: at all. It was really painful to watch those games, 29 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: just the way the Martins performed, just really throughout, starting 30 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: off with Sandy giving up four runs in the first 31 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: swing flave ball center Piers on his horse going back 32 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: that god free run over for Dorman. It's just a 33 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: hanging change of that, if not the pitch you wanted 34 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: to throw to Gorman right there, it is close to 35 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: impossible to try to make that up throughout the game, 36 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: and the Marlins tried to, but it was just not enough. 37 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: Sandy finished six innings, eight hits, four runs, seven k's, 38 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: two walks, So he gave up those earned runs in 39 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: the first and nothing in the other innings, which is we've. 40 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 2: Seen a lot from Sandy. 41 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: He might give up four runs in the third, he'll 42 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: give up three in the second, and then everything else 43 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: is literally perfect. 44 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 2: Zeros the case again, but the Martins cannot do it. 45 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: When you give up that many runs early in the game, 46 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: you're playing from behind, you you falter. 47 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 2: The Marlins not look like they wanted to be there 48 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 2: their last game. 49 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: They knew giving up the four runs, they were practically 50 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: out of it already. They just wanted to end that 51 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: game and go back to Miami, which we are here today. 52 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: They will be starting in a series call a lot 53 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: of Rockies. But it's just not been great at all 54 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: for the Marlins. Just looking at some of their bright 55 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: spots and it's just kind of nitpicking what can even 56 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: be seen as a bright spot. You go some of 57 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: the pitching. I would say one might be Eddie Cabrera, 58 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: him coming back pitching five innings, one of a run, 59 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: two hits, six strikeouts, in three walks, with two of 60 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: those walks coming in the first inning and limiting to 61 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: just one walk the rest of the way. Eddie looked 62 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: good in his start. I guess the Cardinals lineup only 63 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: giving up the home run or I should say the 64 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: other runs, the hits and everything just coming up from 65 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: Edward Cabrera. But I believe you look at it, he 66 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: had a really great first start since the injury, giving 67 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: him five innings with just an adequate perfect number for him. 68 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: You know, want to go too much, especially against the 69 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: Saint Louis lineup, but. 70 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: They did see the pro game pri. 71 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: Walks again, three walks about what you're gonna get from 72 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: Edward Cabrera along with the six strakeouts. So relatively a 73 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: pretty decent start from Eddie Cabrera. Him coming back to the Martins, 74 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: ar go need him desperately if they want to beat buyers. 75 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: Uh this trade deadline. 76 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: And talking about that trade deadline, let's move another bit 77 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: to a kind of a different deadline, the deadline of 78 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: signing draft picks, which I believe he is a couple 79 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: of least a week away. The Martins did sign two 80 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: draft picks and two of their top guys. The first 81 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: round pick Nobel Meyer, agreed to a four point five 82 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: million dollar deal. According to Craig miss significant underslot deal. 83 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: Looking at that deal for the Marlins really benefits them 84 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: in their attempt to sign Thomas White and Travis Dietrich, 85 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: who is committed to play at FIU the high school arms. 86 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: See if Marlins can can convince him to come play 87 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: for them and the pros. And then with those with 88 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: that signing of Noble Mind just way under slot it, 89 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: see if the Marmin's around one million dollars, which again 90 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: will go hopefully to Thomas White and Travis Ditritz trying 91 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: to lure him but signing him underslot valuated like that 92 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: is really great to see from the Fish what they've 93 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: done there, and another underslought value was kept Alderman. His 94 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: slought value was around one point eighty three and the 95 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: Marlins signed him for one point four again savings around 96 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars, So the Marmins will have one 97 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: point four extra he should say, dollars to spend on 98 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: their on their signees on their draft picks, including the 99 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: ability to go five percent over the bonus pool. They're 100 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: gonna need that to sign Travis Tetrich, the high school 101 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: arm and Thomas White, who I believe his Slott values 102 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: around two point three. He will probably for a million more, 103 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: and if the Marlins want to sign him, which looks 104 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: like they do based off or really want to sign him, 105 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: will go over the slot value. Including what they've done there. 106 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: With the one point four million dollars saved, looks like 107 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: that I will need to be going to Thomas White 108 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: or at least one million dollars of that to be 109 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: able to grab that prep arm But going back to 110 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: the Marlins starting a three game set versus the Rockies. 111 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: I will be at the stadium along with Kevin, talking 112 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: all things during the game about the Rockies, about the Marlins, 113 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: recapping it for you, covering it live on Twitter. But 114 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: if it's just not been great for the Marlins, you 115 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: can all just help that the Marmins try to get 116 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: back in this hopefully sweep the Rockies, which they will need. 117 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: They will have to sweep the Rockies. If not take 118 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: two games, you have to take two no matter what, 119 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: because after that it's it's be a little bit difficult 120 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: for the Fish. 121 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: Including you go. 122 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: To Tuesday Wednesday, two games set against the Tampa Bay Rays. 123 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: We know how the Marlins have been against the Rays. 124 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: It has not been pretty. Going to Tampa. 125 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: Against again one of the better teams in baseball, if 126 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: not the best team in the AL, alongside the Baltimore Orioles. 127 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: You saw how the Marlins failed against the Orioles. Now 128 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: you're going to play at Tampa. It's it's gonna be 129 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: a little difficult for the Marlins to try to do that, 130 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: but we will do that once those games do come closer. 131 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: But just overall, coming out of the All Star Break, 132 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: it has been I believe a little worrying. You should, 133 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: I could say, just it's just warring in terms of 134 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: the Marlins are kind of just they banked their wins 135 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: in the first half. They got the wins that they 136 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: needed to against teams that they should have been, teams 137 00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: like the A's that the Cardinals and that July fourth Series, 138 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: teams like that. 139 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 2: Had should have beaten. And then when you come back. 140 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: This All Star break, after this break, the schedule, it 141 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: is tremendously difficult for the Marlins. You have teams like 142 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: the Yankees, you have the Astros, you have the Philadelphia Phillies. 143 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: At the trade. 144 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: Deadline, it's a four game sets starting before the trade line, 145 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: trade deadline and finishing after that. One is gonna be 146 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: very interesting to see how the Marlins try that as 147 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: they do play a game thirty first, the first, second, 148 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: and the third, to see how the Marlins try to 149 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: do there. But it's just very difficult. Again with the Rays, 150 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: you have the Tigers, which again the team threw a 151 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: no hitter just a couple of weeks ago. Again they're 152 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: they're very streaky team, not you know, bottom of the 153 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: NL Central AL Central, but you know it was at 154 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: the bottom of the AL Central. 155 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 2: Now they're third. Is a team that that's very streaky 156 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 2: that the Marlins trouble. And then again the. 157 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: Rangers arguably the best team in baseball, easily the best 158 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: offense in baseball, or at least the AL to go 159 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: alongside the Atlanta Braids at Cincinnati, one of the youngest 160 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: teams in baseball, Electric Team Elie did thea Cruz, Yankees, Astros, Dodgers, 161 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: Padres ouch Ouch. Marlins are gonna have to have to 162 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: be at least five hundred if if if they think 163 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: if they want to get to the playoffs, they have 164 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: to get at least five hundred. But coming up to 165 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: the trade deadline again the Rockies, the Tigers it's gonna be, 166 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: and then the Rays and with the Phillies, but the 167 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: Marlins are gonna have to to cook something up. 168 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: The Marlins need a trade. They need to be buyers. 169 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: You need to salvage a series versus the Rockies, and 170 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: you need to take at least one against tip of 171 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: the Rays if they want to see themselves as buyers 172 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: because as of right now, obviously they want to be buyers. 173 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: But the way they they're playing, it's it's gonna be 174 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: very difficult. They're teetering on the line. It's a good 175 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: thing that they banked some of their wins early on 176 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: in the season because right now they need it, and 177 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: they needed it badly. In my opinion, I believe though, 178 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: Marlin's gonna take that series and they will be some 179 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: new players coming in at the deadline, because I have 180 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: hope for this team. 181 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: Hopefully, you know, guys like Sandy could bounce back. 182 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: Louis Arias has kind of had a rocky start to 183 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: the All Star break, but you just turn things around. 184 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: You's gonna have one good series, one strong series to 185 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: turn everything on its head. 186 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 2: And this is what's gonna be. It's going to be 187 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 2: the rocky series. 188 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: Hopefully they want to turn everything around because this team 189 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: needs to be a buyer. Miami needs a playoff. Marlin's team, 190 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: thank you, and as always, this has been this big fish, 191 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: small pod, Go Fish.
