WEBVTT - Marlins-Rangers Series Reaction: Connor Norby Optioned; Sandy's Strikeout Record 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:00.400 Forty. 0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:02.840 Hey, this is Kyle Stowers and you're listening to Fish 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:06.200 On First. 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:38.400 Welcome into Fish On First Live, part of the Foul 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:42.080 Territory Network Jam Packed show for you. Today, we got 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:47.000 Nate Carsmer, Eli Sussman, Kevin Brawl, Isaac Azu, Jeremiah Geiger Here. 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.320 Marlins continue to be the hottest team in baseball during 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:55.800 the month of June sixteen and five. This month, they've 0:00:55.840 --> 0:01:00.360 now established themselves as possible contenders in the National League 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:04.160 Wildcard race, sitting at forty two and thirty nine heading 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.560 into this weekend and off day today, of course, but 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.800 a fantastic month of baseball. We're gonna recap this past 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.760 series against the Texas Rangers. The Marlins won two out 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.560 of three. But guys, I think it's important to start 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.360 off with the breaking news that happened I'd say about 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.920 twenty thirty minutes ago. Connor Norby has been officially optioned 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.800 to Triple A Jacksonville. I gotta say it was an 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.959 unexpected move on on my end, I didn't expect the 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.440 team to do it, but I agree with the move 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.319 one hundred percent. He just was not cutting it at 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.440 the major league level. The stats were just bad, flat 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.639 out bad, to be honest, hitting just above two hundred 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.240 two oh five and on base percentage of three thirteen 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.240 six thirty eight ops. And although he made some decent 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.360 plays at first base, the lack of hitting was not 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.160 enough to justify keeping him in the lineup on a 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.960 routine or on a regular basis. So he gets to Jacksonville. 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.360 We're gonna see what the corresponding move is. But nate 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.880 your thoughts initially when you saw the news. 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.760 I wasn't necessarily surprised as you were, just but the 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:12.600 what we've seen from in production wise, I mean since 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.840 the beginning to May, he's hitting one eighty seven ops 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.079 in around five hundred. So it is unfortunate after those 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:19.920 you know, steadies starting had to begin the year, and 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.320 he was actually walking a good amount, striking out less 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.800 and using some of the opposite field power. But it 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:26.440 is unfortunate. But it's kind of just in line with 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.359 what we've seen from the Marlins front office this here 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:29.960 that if you aren't producing at the big league level, 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.639 doesn't matter your prospect, pediory or how much you've contributed 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.840 a year ago. Look at a dollar obviously your mirrez 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:36.480 h they'll send you want to get you right. So 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.000 hopefully this does end up working for Connor in his favor. 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.000 It is unfortunate. It feels like the past couple of 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:42.799 weeks sitting back to that met series in Queens and 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:44.400 he was hitting a lot of balls to the warning 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.360 track just we're not getting out. So maybe someone luckiness 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.760 going on there. But you know, also at first base, 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.520 we saw it was at the first game in Texas. 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.360 He didn't you crashed on the bun which hurt them 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.280 Rowans and messed up that I just played first, you know, 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.200 pop out of his gloves. So it is tough. I 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:01.920 wonder who're going to bring up to replace him. I mean, 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.519 I feel like Grant Pauly would make sense, but I 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:05.880 don't know if they wanted to have left you on 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.640 that bench. And I mean I would say Autiste your 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.359 mirrors if they let him play first that wouldn't work either. 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.040 We know Audis your mirrors to not play third base unfortunately. 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.680 So it'll be interesting to what they do in terms 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.240 of who they bring up from Jacksonville. But it's unfortunate. 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:21.400 But at the end of the day, hopefully it will 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:22.720 be good for Connor and then he can get his 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.840 confidence back with some guys like dust down there. 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.200 Yeah, Nate took the words out of my mouth. 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.000 I think that play at first base where it was 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.440 just a complete I don't want to see boneheaded, but 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.160 a lack of awareness there where obviously the bus going 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:35.560 to the third base side you got to cover first, 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:37.560 and he sort of looked at Xager Edwards as if 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.400 X should have been covering first base, and he obviously 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.120 had to cover second as there was first and second 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.880 nobody out. So I think that along with it just 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.760 the inbysmal offensive production. When you look at his WRC 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.960 plus it's eighty two. I thought it was gonna be 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.400 in the sixties. It's honestly surprising that it's that high. 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.920 You think that when you double you your walk rate, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.840 you'd be performing a lot better offensively, but in fact 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.000 he's just been worse than it was last year. Pretty 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.800 much every statistic possible, and like Nate said, a trip 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.640 down did wonders for Eddie Berto Hernandez. Hopefully it's the 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.840 same for this guy who who's got a sweet swing. 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:12.760 I think he can get a little bit stronger. I 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.120 think he needs a little bit more power if he's 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:15.960 going to hit the way he does. He's best when 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:17.640 he's going to the opposite field. He just haven't seen 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.240 many of those inside out swings at all this year, 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:24.719 so U a trip to Jacksonville never does much harm. 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.200 It's just not surprising. 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.279 Like Nate said, but you sort of wow, Yeah, this 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.599 was If you told us this in twenty twenty four, 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.120 you'd be shell shocked. 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.040 If you told us this like two months ago, would 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.600 have been shocking. It would reminder how long this season is, 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.120 because wasn't he one of the bright spots of his 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:43.880 Marlins seen in the first few weeks of the season, 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.599 and then we had him on unfiltered like in eight 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:47.840 late April and ever since. 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:49.680 Yeah, that kind of jinks him. 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.840 He has one home run one home run in the 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.720 last two full months combined. I just looked it up, 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.880 hitting like one eighty during that time. That's a two months, man, 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.080 it's been he's you know, he's his struggles have flown 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.080 under the radar just because he wasn't as bad as 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:08.520 Christopher Moreld. He wasn't as bad offensively as Jimenez over 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.880 these past few couple months too. And the timing is 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.360 just a little bit interesting because I was thinking more 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.040 about this being a decision once Liam Hicks returns from 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.159 his injury, that's an option, of course, to play a 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.480 lot of first base like they wouldn't. That would make 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:26.120 a Norby kind of redundant at that point. And with Jimenez, 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.520 if you're interested in the choice between Norby and Leo Jimenez, 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.359 who is overall not necessarily a better player than Norby 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.320 at all, but he is out of options. And for 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.280 the Marlins to ensure one hundred percent that he Menez, 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.560 you know, stays in the organization and Norby has these 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.360 options remaining, I think that absolutely was a factor in 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:44.480 this decision as well. 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.159 Do you guys think that Norby is I mean, I 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.560 mean it's hard for me to just see Norby as 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.320 some sort of franchise player, a player that's gonna last 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:59.159 on the Marlins for even next season. I mean, he's 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:03.760 gotten progressively worse from his initial call up when they 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.120 traded with the Baltimore Orioles. 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:07.560 He looked pretty good. 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.200 I thought he was going to be a part of 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.840 this core, and it feels like there's other guys that 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.279 have simply just surpassed him in terms of the pecking order, 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.200 and so yeah, I agree with Isaac. Hopefully this triple 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:23.840 A stint helps him because Hernandez looks phenomenal since he 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:27.080 came back. I mean, he's an absolute power threat and 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:31.000 deserves more playing time. But with Norby, it's just the 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.400 I question the tools. I question, like, really what tools 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.960 is he? Is he good at? I agree he power 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:42.240 maybe is, but it's limited. Like with Hernandez, I genuinely 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.960 feel there's twenty home run power in the bat. But 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.440 the other player I think we need to talk about, 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.839 and you mentioned him Eli was Leo Jimenez because there's 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.120 gonna be a lot of people that are are saying why. 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:54.520 Is Jmenez still on this roster? 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:59.200 So Kevin, when it comes to Leo Jamenez, do you 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.080 think this is a play that's going to continue to 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.680 be on the Marlins for the foreseeable future because he's 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:05.479 out of options? 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.960 When do they cut ties with him? 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.560 Honestly, the first thing that went through my mind when 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.560 they when I saw the roster move with Norby was 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.640 how the hell is Leo Jimenez still on? Herover Norby? 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.400 Because it's either you choose one bad player or the other. 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.200 I would have rather had Norby still around because at 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.520 least he provides you some value at first base. When Leo, 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.080 as much as people want to say he's more of 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.960 a glove first guy, he just isn't. He's actually been 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.880 terrible defensively grading when you looked at the Great the 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:39.280 Savanna and Baseball Reference, it's not been good at third 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.480 and he's hit even less than normy. At least Norby 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:42.760 you could count on like every once in a while 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.320 knocking in a couple of hits. Leo Humena is like you, 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.800 it's an automatic out. I hate to say it like that, 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.240 but it was just bad at bats yesterday didn't length. No, 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:56.360 it just wasn't good. But yeah, no, Leo Jimenez, I 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.920 don't know. I mean right now, to be totally honest 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.080 with you, is or even a better option at third base? 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:05.360 Dan Leohemanez like not really son Noha, but he's not 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:09.040 an everyday guy, Paul. They already went through that. Jacob 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:10.680 Barry can't play third base and he isn't hitting right 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.640 now in Triple A. There really isn't an option. So 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.560 you're just gonna have to keep riding this guy out 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.280 until they figure it out. And you know, we're if 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.480 we if we end the talking trade deadline at some point, 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.920 that's a big need for the Marlins, regardless of like 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.600 how bad he could be defensively. If you could find 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.720 someone that actually actually hit at the position, that's great 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:31.680 because the Marlins right now have the worst third base 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.719 production in baseball p WRC plus. It's at forty three 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.559 forty three WRC plus combined amongst all morns third basements 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.520 who've actually played the position this year, So they they 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.480 if they plan on winning, that position needs to be 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:47.160 filled before starting, pitcher, before reliever, before whatever. Maybe that's 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.719 that's what they need. And I think the Norby thing 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:51.560 really quick just kind of it felt like it was coming. 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.920 He was playing a lot less. Stowers is playing more 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:57.439 first base Conan's return, I was assume he's gonna play 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.360 a little bit more first. Liam Hicks is gonna come 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.720 back soon enough, He's gonna play a lot more first. 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.000 I'm just curious to see who they actually end up 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.160 bringing back for it it's worth. And I know we 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.280 said we already went through the Poly situation, but he's 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.000 actually been hitting pretty well at Triple A for the 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:13.199 last month. If they they are to call someone up, 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.319 it would be him who also provides you some value 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:19.080 defensively as well with the glove. But I wouldn't be 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.959 shocked if it's like Davison or I don't know, or Kemp, 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.040 if they want to be splashy and bring some power 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.400 to the lineup. I think in all likelihood it just 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:29.439 ends up being Grand Polly and we'll move on. 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:30.240 Yeah. 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.280 I could smell a Paulli Leo Jimenez platoon at third 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.720 base from a mile away. Kevin mentioned the forty three 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:37.840 worc pust from third base, and that is exactly what 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.560 Leo jimen Is is producing by himself. 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:42.480 So that just you know, shows. 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:46.720 How poorly there they're what horrible production they're getting from 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:47.199 third base. 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.559 And remember this is not just any position, it's third base. 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.839 You're supposed to be getting a lot of offensive production 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:52.520 from that position. 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.960 So it's tough to see Leo has no options left. 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.439 So you know, I never thought they were going to 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.040 send him down or cut ties with their designate him 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.400 for assignment quite yet. I think there's a there's an 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.400 avenue here where you could be on the team for 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:07.079 a few more months here. 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.400 Yeah, A very quick overview for those watching on YouTube 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.120 of the forty man roster situation with Norby sent down, 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.760 Zach Bricksey sent down as well in advance of Max 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.640 Meyer returning from the berievement list. So yeah, there's that 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.880 question mark about who feels that last spot on the 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.080 position player side prior to the series opener, the options 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.840 on the forty man roster. I mean, Davison is on 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.240 there as well. They've called him up twice already this season, 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:36.319 even with very limited playing time in those situations among 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.480 other healthy options. Reyes Hines, he's been he hasn't really 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.240 been hitting a whole lot as of late, but he's 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.400 on the forty man in the organization by a month. 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.520 Grand Polly, as you guys have mentioned, would be the 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.920 most obvious one, you know, who's actually been hitting a 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.199 lot better as the season has gone on. Jared Serna, 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:54.240 Forget Jared. He got off to an awful start, awful 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:55.960 all of twenty twenty five. I don't think this is 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.000 his time right now. Just something to keep a radar 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.319 on in part time act in triple as. 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:04.560 Yeah, it's part time action. 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:06.959 The one guy I do want to make he's not 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.240 a forty man guy. Actually, you know they won't do it, 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.280 but it's a super super long shot, and I've been 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.160 writing about him on the minor league recaps. Gage Miller 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.800 is raking boys and he could play some third base. 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.679 The way he hit this year is actually really impressive. 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.040 I thought, maybe this is a guy who comes in 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:27.960 next year as an NRI competes for a spot. But damn, 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.320 these guys are so desperate for they need a third 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.080 baseman that could actually hit. He's the only one who's 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:36.160 hitting in triple A. It would be a splashy move. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:38.720 It would be not splashy, but it would be one 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.200 of those long shot moves that nobody thinks could happen. 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.520 But Gage Miller would be a guy who I would 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.839 love to see up and give him a shot. He's out. 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.720 He's twenty three years old. Was the third round picking 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.160 that twenty four draft, I believe it was, or yeah, 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.520 the twenty four draft. Why not right, it would be 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.280 the first guy from the twenty four draft. It would 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.960 be like a long shot call up option, but I 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.640 like it. He's raking a triple A. He looks very 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.760 comfortable there. He's played almost second base, but he did 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.000 get drafted out as a third baseman, and he has 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.040 played the position in the minors this season, so it's 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.120 not like it's a completely new thing for him, and 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.199 maybe he could provide some volume more there defensively. 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.800 That would be pretty flush. I agree, that would be fun. 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:19.720 That would be fun. 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.880 Let's move on to talk about the Texas Rangers series, 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.679 but first we have this quick break. 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.320 You know why you're enjoying this minute because we're happy, Krats. 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.400 We're happy because we're wearing Mac Weldon. 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.000 Yes, I'm six foot five and nobody can give me 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.600 tall clothing, but mack Weldon allows me to have it, 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.520 so I don't really have to care about how I look, 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.040 and I still look good Because I don't put a 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:47.880 lot of time into what I do to put pick 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.600 out my clothes. Mack Weldon takes care of it for me. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.319 Classic always In style made from the world's most comfortable 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:59.240 performance materials. Summer gets sweaty, don't let unnecessary sweat spots emerge. 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.720 Mac well Then's air Knit X fabric helps you out. 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:07.640 Their lightest fabric is fused with nylon mesh for maximum airflow. 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.199 Skip the midday wardrobe changes. The barely there feel also 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.160 keeps you feeling more dry and fresh. Don't sweat the 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.880 heat this summer. Feel as effortlessly cool. 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:17.320 As you look. 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.680 With Mackweldon, go to Mackweldon dot com and get twenty 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:21.520 percent off your first order of one hundred and twenty 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.240 five bucks or more with promo code foul. That's m 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.719 a ck w E L d o N dot com. 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.320 Code foul. 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.360 As always reverse order recapping each and every game of 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.720 the series. So this one of the Marlins dropped the 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:42.480 first game, but won the last two very close games. 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.520 I mean two run win, two run win, and then 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.800 a one run loss. Could have had the sweep. That 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.840 first game was really frustrating. But yesterday we saw the 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.040 return of Uri Perez, well ahead of schedule. It was 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.960 great to see him back on the mound and the 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.240 control was there, which I like to see. Anytime a 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:04.360 pitcher comes back from an injury, it tends to the 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.440 control issues tend. 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:07.080 To flare up there. 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.440 It wasn't there for Yuri through a lot of strikes 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.320 four and two thirds. We wanted to finish that fifth inning, 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:17.120 but was pulled right at sixty eight pitches. Gave up 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:21.160 just one run. Marlin's end up winning. Pete Fairbanks gets 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:25.680 a save. How what's your takeaways from URI's return off 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.240 of injury other than it's just great that he's healthy again. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.520 Yeah, great, Ury looked good. Didn't walk another guy, didn't 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:37.960 walk anyone one, strikeout fine. Honestly, as much as I 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:39.720 would love to talk about that last game, we need 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.160 to talk about Sandy what Sam Oh, Yeah, nothing short 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:45.000 of impressive, awesome for him. And there's a lot that 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:46.880 we could dive into in this one topic, because a 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:51.359 lot went down in this one topic. Sandy, now the strikeout, 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.360 has the most strikeouts in franchise history. He passes Ricky 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.760 and Alaska. Believe the numbers now one thousand and two. 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.080 He also has the most wins at Lone Deepot Park 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:02.240 with thirties for passing Jose Fernandez. Shout out to Sandy, 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:06.680 stud Cabayo, whatever you want to call it. Got off 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.160 to a slow start for him, a high pitch count 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.640 very early on. We saw that in the Phillies start too, 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.960 so good for him to kind of, you know, settle down, 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:19.040 and Clayton clearly, you know, wanted to let this guy 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:20.480 go out there and do it, because he got He 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.520 went on in the seventh with almost one hundred pitches, 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.560 so it was great to see that. I'm gonna go 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:27.760 to Isaac because I definitely want to talk about this. 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.640 That the moment that Sandy ties it. Nothing is done 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:35.320 at the ballpark, not recognized, not mentioned, not said, no tweet, 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:39.080 Nothing tweets only come out from media. Then Sandy gets 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:40.960 the record, and I want to say I was there 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.600 as a fan. I want to say. They took about 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.600 like twenty thirty seconds until they actually flashed the graphic. 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.800 Sandy kept looking back, kept looking back. Joe Mack stepped 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:50.600 off the ump. Was actually pretty good about it too, 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:51.840 and kind of tried to see if they could give 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:57.040 him the moment nothing happened. I couldn't believe it. The 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.000 fans clearly knew what happened. They were immediately changing Sandy, 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.720 you know, clapping. It seemed like the marketing team just 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.840 had no clue what to do, as they had no 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.320 clue this happened. I definitely want to get your guys' 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:07.840 take on this. 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:12.760 Yeah, First, the baseball part, Like Kevin mentioned, Sandy was 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.280 laboring through those first two He was at forty pitches. 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.600 Through to so I thought with zero strikeouts, it was 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:18.400 very unlikely that. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.360 He was going to get this milestone at home, and 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.480 fortunately he really just settled in starting by striking in 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.520 an eleven pitch battle with Brandon Nimmo striking him out. 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.120 Who I thought, you know, before the game, I'm looking 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.000 at guys that he might strike out a couple of times. 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:31.680 Nimmo was someone that did not think he was gonna 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.720 get once. He's a tough guy to strike out. Got 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:37.280 him twice, and like Kevin mentioned, ENSI the following inning 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.840 with two in a row to make him tie, to 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.360 tie him with Ricky with one thousand and one career 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.920 strikeouts as the Marlin, and you're right, there was not 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.040 a single mention on the scoreboard, which was just a 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.760 perfect opportunity the inning. The strikeout to ty Ricky was 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:52.560 to end the inning. 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.120 It was a perfect opportunity to let every fan in 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:58.200 the citium know that, hey, he has tied Ricky, so 0:16:58.240 --> 0:16:59.640 you don't even have to put an alert for the 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.560 next one. But he didn't do it that In said, 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.000 it went straight to fake slots like. 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:05.879 They usually do in the end of the fifth and 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:07.800 then before and after the sixth inning were he didn't 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:08.560 strike out anyone. 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:10.440 He was at about ninety. 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:12.160 One pitches I want to say, so it was likely 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:13.800 that he was going to go out for the seventh regardless, 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.480 didn't get the first guy, second guy strikes out, Kyli 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:18.880 got Shioko with a slider, and yeah, like Kevin said, 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.720 it was a very it was an awkward moment that 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:27.080 I don't want that to overpower what a surreal, monumental 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.320 moment this was for Sandy. I think that's more important. 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.119 But yeah, we can talk about that a little bit later. 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:35.480 But just looking back at the trade made in twenty eighteen, 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.800 just two months after Bruce Sherman buys the team, that 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.560 trade was made for Marcelo Zuna to get Magnar Sierra, 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.560 Dan Costadno, Zach Gallant and Sandy And like I wrote 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.600 in my story here, if they got if Michael Hill 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.240 knew that Sandy would become half of what he's become, 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:51.959 he would be ecstatic. 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.919 So just to see the trajectory. 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.040 In the growth of this young man, this young flamethrower 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.560 from the Dominican Republic turned into a sayan Award winner 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.159 and cumulate the many strikeouts, but he's not really a 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.960 strikeout picture. Breaking Alaska is much more of a strikeout 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.520 picture than Sandy is it's just awesome to see him. 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.720 Let I was there in the in the prespect for 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:15.240 that moment, and yeah, there you go. The scoreboard malfunction. 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.000 It wasn't a malfunction from what I understand, there was 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:21.879 just it was confusion on what to do and when 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.840 to do it. And it's unfortunate, as Tommy Hunt said, 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.919 little things like that mean a lot. And you know what, 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:29.840 that doesn't happen in City Field, that does not happen 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:31.920 in the Oracle Park, that does not happened in Fentway Park, 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:33.639 And who knows the next time we're gonna have a 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:35.800 dipig of a moment again in that ballpark. 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:37.600 But they had it and they blew it. 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.840 Yeah a click note on, like when that moment's going 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.439 to come again. No, Alasko held the record for almost 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.840 fifteen years, he said it originally in twenty eleven. I 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.840 put this briefly on the site in only surpassed just 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.680 now with Sandy. The only reason why he surpassed it, 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.600
