1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Today is Friday, August twentieth, and this is big fish,

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: small pot. I'm at Wardoll here covering the gaps in

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: between coverage of the Cincinnati Red Series in Cincinnati. So

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: like really quick, roastly, what struck me about yesterday's game

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: was approach in a lot of ways, It's kind of

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: like a confluence of those factors. Like there's a front

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: office approach that has a player like Luis Castillo pitching

8
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: for the Reds, former Marlins farm hand traded for oh

9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: Dan Strayley. If I recall on the screen last night

10
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: at the game on the field, was a bit of

11
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: the remnants of a different approach for the Marlins organization.

12
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that they just weren't taking a

13
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: good swings trades. I think clearly you had upside with

14
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: Luis Castill that you did not get back with Dan Streley,

15
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: just a talent inequity and dobviously, like the big headline

16
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: out of this game is Isan Diaz is a golden sombrero.

17
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: So there's like a major real like analog between approach

18
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: in the front office and approach at the plate that both.

19
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: I mean, that's I think that's two strikes. That's two

20
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: strikes right there. As for winning, this game played out

21
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: six to one. The Reds were the winner. But what

22
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: I did, I went through just like the first time

23
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: through the lineup. I just made notes on every hitter

24
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: just to like see what they looked like at the plate,

25
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: like we'll try to get some insight into their like approach,

26
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: just pure eye test. So I starting out the game,

27
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: Miguel Rojas stuck out with a progression. He seems to

28
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: be going for a single, like every time he's out

29
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: the plate, just move it forward, making contact in front

30
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: seems to be his goal. It worked out for him

31
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: infield single. Then came Isan Diaz. He seemed to be,

32
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: to my eye, looking for a mistake. He took the

33
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: best pitch, first pitch the at bat, which was the

34
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: best pitch to hit that he saw, just went inside

35
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: for a strike again Willis Castillo kind of going across

36
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: the zone to Isan in the two hole. I do also, Yeah,

37
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a headache I have about

38
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: Isan Diaz hitting second, But this is not what we're

39
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: talking about. We're talking about the fact that a San

40
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: Diaz was going to the plate looking for a mistake,

41
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: took the best pitch in his first at bat, that

42
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: inside fastball for a strike, and then he just like

43
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: went down swinging at a just way away. It looked

44
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: like the sort of thing that you would see like

45
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: a Gean car low to on a slider. For years,

46
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: it hurts to even say that. A good bit just

47
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: felt like there wasn't that adjustment going on the Hayesus

48
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: Aguilar third batter, it looked to me like he was

49
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: just facing the picture. He's a big body. Home run

50
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: is in the pitcher's mind, so he has a rather

51
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: unpredictable at bat if he's just facing off with the

52
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: picture themselves, obviously forcing the pitcher to execute their pitches,

53
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: not like tip their pitches at all, because if Jesus

54
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: can get like a view of that see that pitch,

55
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: he'll take it far. But it seems like he does

56
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: cut corners and like a really good picture is able

57
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: to just kind of get around him. And that's what

58
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: it felt like. Next inning, Jesus Sanchez immediately came out

59
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: swinging really good. It seemed like Luis Castile liked throw

60
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: that like first pitch strike just to get that. He's

61
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: i mean obviously like kind of ace mindset he wants

62
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: to go deep into a game, so he's looking to

63
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: get ahead however he can. So Hazu Sanchez coming in big,

64
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: swing at like a strike. It was a eighty seven

65
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: mile an hour off speed pitch and he just took

66
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: it for a double. Then came Brian Anderson. He's swinging

67
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: at like a fastball that was just way too far

68
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: in him and he stayed off like a fastball low,

69
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: and then he got another fastball just like in right

70
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: at him, definitely like jammed him on the ground. But

71
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: it felt like the sort of pitch that you shouldn't

72
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: be swinging at it, Like obviously it's a pitch that

73
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: wakes you up if you're in any way like sleepwalking

74
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: and inside fastball at like ninety eight you're like, oh,

75
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: what do you do? And it felt like that a

76
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: little bit. I didn't make notes on any other at

77
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: bats throughout the game, just kind of this first one.

78
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: I want to just like see how a pitch, how

79
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: these batters initially approach a hitter, And it seemed like

80
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: Brian just got like toppled by Castillo. Whatever game plan

81
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: he had just didn't come out. Jorgel Faro, he was

82
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: actually really on balls and strikes, took two balls, saw

83
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: a strike, and then he hit that pitch hard on

84
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: the ground really like just third basement, just like popped

85
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: it up behind him. It was just that hard hit.

86
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: But I really like that approach. It seemed like this

87
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: first time around, but one of the best, just that

88
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: he was on balls and strikes, holding Luis Castillo accountable,

89
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: making him throw some pitches but not letting him just

90
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: ruin your game plan. Alex Jackson had another one of

91
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: those inside fastballs. It was like something in between the

92
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: A and EANs and he like hit it softly, you know,

93
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: small part of the bat, just kind of got it

94
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: right to the picture. It was an unlucky double play

95
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: ball just to catch and a throat. At first, you know,

96
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: you're not like wow, Alex Jackson hit into a double

97
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: play again. But then Brian de la Cruz followed up

98
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: looking like really ready to hit, just a lot of

99
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: energy out the plate, a lot of energy in his setup.

100
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: But he faced a lot of off speed stuff on

101
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: the corners and then like the like pretty extreme Louis

102
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: Castillo change up just down and out of the zone

103
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: to whiff strikeout again. His first time around, facing Louis

104
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: Castillo his first time around the Major's scene players pictures

105
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 1: with stuff this good. If he starts like I'm looking

106
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: for him to make adjustments to this type of stuff,

107
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: which is really a matter of doing went all far

108
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: it is hold tight balls and strikes and then get

109
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: the pitches you want. We'll see how that goes to me.

110
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: That's like the big step in the development. And the

111
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: last time the Marlins really built an outfield, it was

112
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: a thing that just like kind of got away. There

113
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: was the power obvious in that, like Yellich Stanton outfield,

114
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: but they didn't quite get that discipline. Going the game

115
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: six to one. Reds Brian Mitchell made his first appearance

116
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: as a Marlin, looking quickly through the miners. The Jumbo

117
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: Shrimp fell to the Durham Bulls ten to four. Some

118
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: highlights Eddie Alvarez two more doubles, really just like on

119
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: it with extra bases. Lately, Monte Harrison homeward, so did

120
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Quintana. Lorenzo Quintana is now hitting three ten with

121
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: his three hits last night, just really cool. One of

122
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: those like kind of like small time trades. I mean

123
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: they basically just bought a catcher from the Astros, but

124
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: he's like done well so far at Triple A. Edward

125
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: Cobrero had the start six strikeouts, four innings, three earned runs,

126
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: two home runs. Not overwhelming, but again just another time

127
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: around where he got strike up. Great news for that prospect.

128
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: In Pensacola, the Biloxi Shuckers visited and one two to

129
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: one over Pensacola. Zach mccambley got the start, five innings,

130
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: four strikeouts, one earned run, four hits, that earned run

131
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: on a home run, two walks. You do like the

132
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: out in for Zach mccambley. Well, the bats where slow

133
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: Peyton Burdick had two hits though his ops by the

134
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: way is eight sixty. Just keep that in mind as

135
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: he's hit pretty well at Double A. And what always

136
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: gets me about this lineup is that there's just like

137
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: seems to be a major drop off the front half

138
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: to back half with like Blade Verdict, Canassi and Conine

139
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: and then just no more hits for last night against

140
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: the Shuckers in Beloit, the Chiefs from Peoria came to

141
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: visit and the Snappers got him in the third inning.

142
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: We had a good offensive Albert Connor, Scott RBI double,

143
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: Victor Victor Mesa with an RBI single Cameron Meisner with

144
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: an RBI triple put the Snappers ahead three to one

145
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: and would go on to win four to one. M D.

146
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: Johnson had the start. He's been like really good. He

147
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: has an ERA at one thirty eight, allowing just one

148
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: earned run in six innings with eight strikeouts to two walks.

149
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: Again same with mccambley. That one earned run was a

150
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: solo home run. Closing out with the Jupiter Hammerheads, they

151
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: beat the Lakeland Flying Tigers four to three, holding on

152
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: in the ninth Joey Steele got the two innings save,

153
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: but in the ninth inning his second inning allowed two runs,

154
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: one earned two strikeouts overall. Luis Palacios had the start,

155
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: six inning, seven strikeouts, one earned run, no home run,

156
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:23,800
