1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Hello Marlons fans, and welcome to this edition of Big

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: Fish Small Pod for Tuesday, September twenty eighth, two thousand,

3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: twenty one, and a few are the small Pod. Here,

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: we'd like to give you all the information about the

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: Marlons for that particular day all season long in ten minutes.

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 2: Or less and Miami.

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: They are starting a new series versus the division rival

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: of New York Mets. But before we get to that game,

9
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: we have to talk a little bit about what happened

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: this weekend with the Marlins, and that is getting swept

11
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: by the Tampa Bay Rays. The Marlins have not been

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: good at all this season against interdivision rivals. They've lost

13
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: every game against an AL team and that has not

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: been great.

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: It really shows.

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: That the Marlins really struggle with these teams outside the

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: league and it's something that Marlins need to foot because

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: if the Marlins maybe would have won half of them

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: those games, who had a better season, especially when you're

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: playing in state rival like the Tampa Bay Rays, who

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: are on the opposite well complete opposite spectrum compared to

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: the Marlins, where Tampa Bay Rays are easily one of

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: the top teams in the AL.

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: If not.

25
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: The MLB have already cleansed the playoffs, looked like they're

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: to clinch his division number one seed almost intact. They

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: look like to be the best team in the AL.

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: And you look at the Marlins.

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: They are one of the worst teams in the NL

30
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: and has not been pretty at all for the Marlons.

31
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: And you look at that game getting sweptso had another

32
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 1: one of those games. Four innings, two hits, two and runs,

33
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: you know, five strikeouts, two waks, whatever. And then you

34
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: look at Shane Baz the young pitcher.

35
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: You know, he pitched in the in the Olympics.

36
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: He's just been saying since coming up, you know, five

37
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: two thirds innings, pitch, three hits, zero earn runs, nine

38
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: strikeouts in one walk. That is insane to just think about,

39
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 1: you know, a young pitcher just just coming up now,

40
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: getting ready, getting these important reps and just very important

41
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: innings for one of the top teams in baseball. It's

42
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: just really insane to think about. But the Marlins will

43
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: be playing the Mets inter division rival. We all know

44
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: about the Mets story this season. Up down, thumbs up,

45
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: bumbs down. Jacob de grond not just being the sun young,

46
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: but probably being the MVP favorite in the NL and

47
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: just that collapse what happened with him injuries.

48
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 2: It really sucks to see when you have some of

49
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: his caliber get injury, because I.

50
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: Think baseball is better when you have someone like Jacob

51
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: the Grand pitching, someone in his ability not just a

52
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: great pitcher, but he's a superstar, he's a good person.

53
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: It just really sucks to see when you have some

54
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: one like that not going, even though you know at

55
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: the division rival, it's no good for baseball and you

56
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: have someone like that pitching. But the pitching matchup between

57
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: the Mets and the Marlins for the first game, because

58
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: it is a doubleheader today at four to ten PM,

59
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: features Trevor Rodgers going up against Marcus Stroman, and it

60
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: looks like to be one of the top matchups today. Actually,

61
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: you know, when you have Trevor Rodgers, the young pitcher

62
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: trying to ease his get his way into the top

63
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: position in the end of the Rookie of the Year.

64
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: Right now, it looks like it's one of Jonathan India.

65
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: But if Trevor Rodgers you can just have that really

66
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: good performance against the Mets and just you know, maybe

67
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: have a shutout game, you.

68
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: Know, multiple over ten strikeouts, maybe one or run zero.

69
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: He can potentially go there and have a chase against

70
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: Jonathan India.

71
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be tough, especially the Mets.

72
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna be having a really great pitcher on the

73
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: Mark Stroman, who's having a really great year off so

74
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: you know three just a three ERA, one hundred and

75
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: seventy four innings, one point one to three whip, one

76
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four strikeouts.

77
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: Marcus Stroman is just a really great picture. Has been

78
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: probably the best.

79
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: Picture for the Mets outside of Jacob Degram this season.

80
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: And I mean you just look at the Mets. It's

81
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: the lineup is not bad. You have Pete Alonzo, Dominic Smith, Robins, Legend,

82
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: Jonathan VR. You do have some players who have been

83
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: a little disappointing this season. The first one you think

84
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: of is Francisco Lindor. They paid him so much money

85
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: and he's only producing a two to eight average his

86
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: ops seven twenty four, which is about average.

87
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: But when you pay someone that much money, you want

88
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 2: them to be well above it, well above average.

89
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: And that also goes for someone like Haby Bayaz, who

90
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, who's slowly been picking him up, but it's

91
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: not really been what the Mets have been hoping for.

92
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: They've been opening for a guy to shoot them to

93
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But for the Marlins, they are coming off

94
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: that series loss versus the Mets and has not been

95
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 1: looking good at all. For the Marlins, hope to finish

96
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: the season strong, but in terms of everything, it's just,

97
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's been a really bad season. It's not

98
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: been a season defense I've been hoping for. And it's

99
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: almost the same song and dance every year. You know,

100
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: you hope for the playoffs and then you know, you

101
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: get a season where they're not gonna win seventy games.

102
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: But it just really it's hard to watch, you know,

103
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: being a Marlins fan, you know, loving this team, just

104
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: to see them all really short of expectations, especially this season,

105
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: and things don't get easier at all. You know, tomorrow,

106
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, it's another game against the Mets.

107
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: You face Taiwan Walker, who's also a really good pitcher.

108
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: Then you go another one.

109
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: You see Erward Cabrera pitching, and Eric Cabrera has not

110
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: been it's not been good at all. He's probably the

111
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: top prospect for the Marlins. He's on to three twenty

112
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: three innings, pitched a five seven to three ERA and

113
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: a one six to seven whip. I know that's not

114
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: what you want to see. And I know he's still

115
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: very young. He says his potential is unlimited, but it's

116
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: just it's hard to see. And especially when you look

117
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: at that strikeout to walk ratio twenty two strikeouts, seventeen walks.

118
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: That is not what you want to see from, you know,

119
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: a feature ace on the team, you know, someone you

120
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: can count on threety four or five years down the road.

121
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: That's not something that you want to see. And then

122
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: the Marlins will end the series against the Philadelphia Phillies,

123
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: who have always given the Marlins trouble. But it all

124
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: starts today doubleheader against the Mets. In that second game,

125
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: the Mets will be bringing out Trevor Williams with a

126
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: four to three nine ERA and the whip of one

127
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: to five to two. Overall, on the Marlins this season,

128
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: they have not been really great. Offensively tied twenty seventh,

129
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: and runs tie twenty third, and hit it runs allowed,

130
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, ty thirteenth, and you look at batting tied

131
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: twenty fifth on base percentage twenty ninth. The only thing

132
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: that they are really great is stolen bases one oh four,

133
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: but you know that could becoming you know, Starling Marte

134
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: who's been probably the best stolen bass.

135
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: Player this entire year. And the bright spot for the

136
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: Mormons has been pitching.

137
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: Why when you look at Sandy and Trevor and Pablo

138
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: when he was healthy, that was really the bright spot

139
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: of the Marlins. But this season had just really been

140
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: focused on youth. When you look at Jazz Chisholm and

141
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: his Susanchez Brian de la.

142
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: Cruz, and then you know the new guy as.

143
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: Well, the new catchers nick Fort has Peyton Henry nick Forts,

144
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: who has been almost insane with the four to two

145
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: one average ops have won three ninety five, has barely

146
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: been great. And then you look at you know, some disappointment.

147
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: It's like a Sususto has not been good at all.

148
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: That's not something you want to see.

149
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: Anthony Baths, who you know, they paid him him a

150
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: good amount of money and he's really been disappointing. You know,

151
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: el Rady's almost at four and that's not something you

152
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: want to see someone you give a lot of money to,

153
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 1: you know, catching wise, has not been great for the Marlins.

154
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: But overall, I think you know, if you had a

155
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: greatest season, it's it's enough.

156
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: It's enough.

157
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: Maybe a D if you know you go by the pitching,

158
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,880
