1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Good morning, and welcome to Big Fish Small Pod. I'm

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: Andrew Wardall. Today is June twenty second, and the Marlins

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: beat the Rockies last night nine to eight at Lone

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: Depot Park, coming back from like a four to zero

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: deficit earlier. The Marlins offense was really like powered by

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: Abby Garcia's bat, Like I thought, you run a home

7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: run really put the Marlins in the game.

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: Bobby Garcia right short a field that one is good,

9
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: get back that a round, capitalizing on cue break.

10
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: And he continued to come through at the plate while

11
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: the rest of the Marlins offense delivered a win to

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: start the series with the Rockies. It's a tired hour here,

13
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: so I'll be a little bit brief on this pot.

14
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: I have like kind of a quick observation. What we're

15
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: talking about is such like a delicate game within the

16
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: game sort of approach to the sport. And really like

17
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: the biggest secret about that like mental side of the

18
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: sport is that it is really confusing. There's so much

19
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: to remember and pay attention to in any game, but

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: to not really like bait you any further. It feels

21
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: like Abby Garcia did have a great night at the plate,

22
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: even after a hard to talk about first at that

23
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: that seemed like he got fooled at the plate, really

24
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: got like pinched up in the zone by some fastballs,

25
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: and like it looked like he was maybe caught up

26
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: in the rhythm of Veltman on the mound for the Rockies,

27
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: trying to anticipate what pitch was gonna go and was

28
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: like pretty steadily, you're like fastball slider with a bit

29
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: of like a full arsenal there. He looked like you're

30
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: typical major league pitcher. Nothing too too much, but he

31
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 1: seemed to be really just like making every little bit

32
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: of his like body movements count on the mound, trying

33
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: to be like tricky wherever he could, and trying to

34
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: stay himself in a rhythm. Abby kind of like was

35
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: onto that but like really paying attention to that to

36
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: try to like get it a tip at all, on

37
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: which he wasn't at all going to be tipping a pitch,

38
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: not that he couldn't it. There was just like so

39
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: much focus from Feltman that it's not a real like

40
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: worthy angle to the matchup. But Avi took like some

41
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: like fastballs up in the zone did not get like

42
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: any good looking swings off on those pitches, and I

43
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: mean it seemed like even like the cameraman on like

44
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: Batley sports got a little like thrown in the bat

45
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: as Feltman did like dance around a bit and got

46
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: the attention of like everyone watching, So like an effective

47
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: showman is what I'm trying to say of Feltman on

48
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: the mount and Avi like totally like bought it, Like

49
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: you couldn't have like kicked him apart better Like this

50
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: big slugger who can hit the ball very hard, missing

51
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: at the fastball up in the zone seems just like

52
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: so counter to the intuition of you're like baseball slugger,

53
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: and like obvious season to this point has been colored

54
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: by some confusing numbers like baseball savant and it was

55
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: like the second percentile and like whiff rate swings and

56
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: misses and like chase rate, like swinging it pitches out

57
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: of the zone. It's certainly been that like type of

58
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: year to this point. But then like later in the game,

59
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: like Abvi had a couple of his swing being those

60
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: like kind of like flyball kind of like spray patterned

61
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: fly ball swings, getting the ball out in front of

62
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: the plate, like at least further up then getting pinched

63
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: by the fastball, up getting like a full swing out

64
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: and elevating the ball even pretty early in a flypath,

65
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: not necessarily going for that like dry power you see

66
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: elsewhere on the Marlins. But it was a weird moment tonight.

67
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: It seemed like he like went from that totally like

68
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: thrown by Feltman, and then made more of an impact

69
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: later in the game after maybe just taking the humility

70
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: of that sort of moments. Not a lot else to

71
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: say at the moment about the Marlins, still game two

72
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: of the series. Pablo Lopez starting at six forty at

73
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: Lone Devot Park tonight. I'll be done with you quick today.
