1
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: Miami Marlins fans are on a collision course back down

2
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: to Earth after today's loss to the New York Mets.

3
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: The Marlins lose the last two games of the series

4
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: against the Mets and dropped two out of three against

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: their division rivals, and all of a sudden, the Marlins

6
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: are staring at a seven and three record and back

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: to back losses and some of the holes in this

8
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: team have been exposed over the past two nights. It's

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: going on, guys. It's Ethan Madowski here here to recap

10
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: the last two games of the Mets and Marlins series.

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: We talked about game one after the Marlins were on

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: their winning streak, but their winning streak sadly came to

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: an end on Saturday night, and the losing streak started

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: with a loss today this afternoon against the Mets in

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: Game three of the series. It was it was a

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: tough game for sure, the Marlins. You know, they kind

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: you kind of saw some of the things that you

18
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: were concerned about coming into the year with the Marlins.

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: There was some bad umpiring, but nevertheless, the Marlins got

20
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: beat the last two nights and they need to rally again. Still,

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: the Marlins sit in pretty good position. They're in first

22
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: place in the National League, so all things considered, it's

23
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: really not that terrible. We're complaining about being seven to

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: three after ten games with a makeshift roster, and it

25
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: seems like the sky is falling, but it's really not,

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: and the Marlins have a chance to get back on

27
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 1: track in this next week. So let's go into the games.

28
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: Let's talk about game two and three here as we

29
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: go to the pad. Game three. Game two, excuse me,

30
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: was an eight to four loss to the Mets. Daniel

31
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: Castano got the start. He was the other piece, the

32
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: throw in, you could say, in the Marcelo Zuna trade

33
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: to the Cardinals. All four players that the Marlins acquired

34
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: in that trade have now made their major league debuts. Obviously,

35
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: Zach Gallon is now with the Diamondbacks. As a result,

36
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: the Marlins have Jash Chisholm in their system. We might

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: see some of him this year. But nevertheless, it seems

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: like the Marlins won that trade, especially considering now that

39
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: Ozuna is in a different organization completely he's with the Braves.

40
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: But Castano made his way up. He had a good

41
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: year last year, made his way up to the big

42
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: leagues this year as a result of all this roster

43
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: movement going on. He was okay, He wasn't great.

44
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: Just try to follow in line with what other guys

45
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: have done before him. Over the course of this last week.

46
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: Neil o for four, a couple of strikeouts last night

47
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: and swings through that one there are two outs. He

48
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: has not had a problem getting ahead, Paul, he's had

49
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: a problem putting the hitters away. Well. He puts away

50
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: Dozerre on a pitch that he thought might have been

51
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: a little outside, but nevertheless. His second strikeout of the

52
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: game oh and two to Billy Hamilton, and Castano teaches

53
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: him how to say goodbye with the strikeout.

54
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: He had a high strike percentage. He threw fifty of

55
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: seventy six pitches for strikes. He went four and a third,

56
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: allowed five hits and four runs, all of those coming

57
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: on two two run homers, including Gator great Pete Alonzo,

58
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: who got on the board. It was his first home

59
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: run in ten games, so he just kind of got

60
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: beat there. He had four strikeouts, though it really wasn't terrible.

61
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: He didn't let the game get away from him, but

62
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: it certainly wasn't great. He can't be given up two

63
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: home runs, you know, especially to two runs, and the

64
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: Marlins offense didn't really help him out that much. The

65
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: bullpen kept it in check for a pretty good while.

66
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: Forsyth got one back with a home run, and then

67
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: they got one back to go up five too, and

68
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: then it looked like the Marlins were gonna scratch and

69
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: claw their way back into the game. When Monte Harrison

70
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: delivered his first RBIs on his second hit of his career.

71
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: He took a nice you know, he took a pitch

72
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: and and did did a nice piece of hitting to

73
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: drive it in in between the shift through the right

74
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: side of the infield.

75
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: Here's a one to oh and a ground ball isn't

76
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: gonna get through it does, that'll home one, and it

77
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: might bring home a second.

78
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: Here's the throw.

79
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: It's not a time and Monte Harrison comes through with

80
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: a base hit and drives on two runs. It's a

81
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: one run game. Here we go. I'll tell you the

82
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: two out rallies with this Marlins group.

83
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: It was a really nice piece of hitting from Monte

84
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about him later. There's plenty of talk

85
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: of you know, to talk about there, but it was

86
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: a nice piece of hitting and good to see him,

87
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: you know, not trying too hard, not trying to do

88
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: too much, just kind of shooting the ball the other way,

89
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: picking up a Kobo RBIs. That was really good. That

90
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: was maybe the one positive on the offensive side of

91
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: the ball from Monte in this series. So after that,

92
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: you know, it was five to four and the Marlins

93
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: looked like they were scrapping their way back into it.

94
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: But again the bullpen finally kind of blew up, and

95
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,119
Speaker 1: you know, I talked about it in the video after

96
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: the win on Friday night that it was kind of

97
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: coming because the bullpen has been so taxed that the

98
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: Marlins needed a long start. They didn't really get one

99
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: in either of these two games. We'll talk about Pablo's

100
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: start in a minute, but I mean, you know, four

101
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: and a third is not really what you're looking for,

102
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: and so the bullpen had to pitch the majority of

103
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: the game and it got to him. Brian Moran put

104
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: two on and then josh A Smith led up the

105
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: three run home run that broke the game open, and

106
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: that was all she wrote from there. The Mets went

107
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: up eight to four, never looked back and that was

108
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: the final score. So they finally got to the bullpen,

109
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: the Marlins bullpen, you know, the the weight that's been

110
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: on their shoulders the past couple of day a few days.

111
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: The weight that was on their shoulders in Baltimore kind

112
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: of finally caught up to them. And it was a

113
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: tough night for the bullpen. The Marlins lose game two,

114
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 1: eight to four. Now let's go to today's game, Sunday

115
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: afternoons game. The Marlins took a four two loss in

116
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: this one. It was closer than you could say it

117
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: was closer than the score. You could also say it

118
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: was you know, the score doesn't give the Mets justice

119
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, how good they were at

120
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: keeping the Marlins off the board. But let's talk about it. Pablo.

121
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: You know, I said we needed six innings from him,

122
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: We needed a long start from him. He got five,

123
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: which was pretty good. He could have gotten six. He

124
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: only threw eighty pitches. But I haven't loved how quick

125
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: Mattingly has been to pull starters, especially considering what's going

126
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: on in the bullpen right now. But he gave Pablo

127
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: the hook after five. I kind of thought it was

128
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: a quick decision from him. But anyway, let's look at

129
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: the line for Pablo. He led up five hits, three runs,

130
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: he walked for, and he had four strikeouts. The changeup

131
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: was really working for him, it was. It was a

132
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: really nice pitch. Probably he should have had a couple

133
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: more strikeouts. He was getting squeezed by the umpire. The

134
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: umpiring in this game was really terrible on both sides.

135
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm not gonna make the excuse

136
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: and say the Marlins lost because of the umpiring, because

137
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: they didn't. The Marlins had plenty of chances to win

138
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: the game despite the umpiring. But I definitely think Pablo

139
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: goes a little deeper into this game and has a

140
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: little bit of a cleaner line, especially those four walks,

141
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: if he's not getting squeezed so much. It was really

142
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: just a poor effort from the umpire on both sides.

143
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: But you know, like I said, that's not the reason

144
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: the Marlins lost the game. You have to still win

145
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: the game despite the umpire when the umpire's bad, and

146
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: the Marlins were unable to do that. So pretty good

147
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: from Pablo. Not what we saw on his first start,

148
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: but pretty good all things considered. He held it together,

149
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: and you know he got out of some tough jams

150
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: without a ton of damage. Corey Dickerson dropped a fly

151
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: ball and left field that should have been caught. That

152
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: would have gotten the Marlins out of the inning with

153
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: one run instead of two runs in the third. But

154
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, it was the little things for the Marlins

155
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: kind of caught up to them today and I think

156
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: that's one of the biggest reasons that they lost this game.

157
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some good things. So Aguilar had the bomb,

158
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: they were down three to nothing, and then Aguilar hit

159
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: a two run bomb to get them back into it.

160
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: You're thinking, Okay, here we go. You know, this is

161
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: this is them fighting and scratching and doing everything they

162
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: can ryan the wave as they been doing. But it

163
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: just kind of wasn't enough. They didn't get enough offense

164
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: from the rest of the guys because afterwards Tarply loaded

165
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: the basest. Even Tarpley came in and loaded the bases,

166
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: and then Mike Moran came in. He only led up one,

167
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: which was good. He held it together. He had one

168
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: out and the bases loaded, and he let up only

169
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: a sack fly but that got it to four to two,

170
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: and that just was too much for the Marlins. It

171
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: was insurmountable today because and one of the main reasons

172
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: is because they were really poor with runners in scoring position.

173
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: They were two for ten with runners in scoring position.

174
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: And two of the guys that were the worst in

175
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: those situations today are two of the guys that you're

176
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: looking for for a ton of offense, you know, hopefully

177
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: if you're the Marlins, and especially if you're Marlins fans

178
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: right now, which is Monte Harrison and Jonathan br Today

179
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: they were a combined zero for nine with eight strikeouts.

180
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: Both had the Golden sombrero. They left eleven guys on

181
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: base combined. That's really poor out of the nine and

182
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: one spot. You can't be getting that kind of production.

183
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: You know, you need those guys to drive in runs.

184
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: Monte needs to do better. He needs to drive in

185
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: runs with the bases loaded. He had bases loaded I

186
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: think twice when he came up empty both times. VR

187
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: had a really tough series. We'll get to that in

188
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: a second. But again, little things kind of added up

189
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: for the Marlins today. Bad situational hitting, kind of going

190
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: back to the old Marlins, the Marlins that can't hit

191
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: with scoring runners in scoring position. Ever, the Marlins that

192
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, the bullpen kind of gets to him. But

193
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: the bullpen, you know, they only allowed one run today,

194
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: but still they needed to have Pablos back a little

195
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: more than they did, especially with the way the offense

196
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: was producing. So it wasn't enough for the Marlins. They

197
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: get the two run bond from Aguilar, but again the

198
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: little things add up and the Marlins lose, and they

199
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: dropped the last two games of the series. So let's

200
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: take a look at the series as a whole. Let's

201
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: start with the bad Like like I've been talking about

202
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: for the past, you know, a few days, the bullpen

203
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: is taxed. The bullpen needs a rest. We've got Eliezer

204
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: and Yams coming up in the next series. We'll get

205
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: to that in a second. The bullpen's tax Thankfully, there's

206
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: two days off this week. That will be huge for

207
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: the Marlins because it'll get those guys a chance to

208
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: kind of sit and reset and that'll be huge for them.

209
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: But the bullpen needs some help. And the reason the

210
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: bullpen needs some help is because starters aren't going deep.

211
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: And that's the next thing on the bad list, is

212
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: that the starters need to pick up the bullpen they

213
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: need to start going deep. You know, Mahia had sixty

214
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: something pitches in the third inning the other night. That

215
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 1: can't be happening. Castano had a bunch of pitches, had

216
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: seventy six pitches through four and a third. That can't

217
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: be happening. You know, these guys have to start throwing

218
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: cleaner innings. They've got to start working quicker innings, pitching

219
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: more efficiently, attacking the strike zone more because they're setting

220
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: up the bullpen to be taxed, and the bullpen's doing

221
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: a pretty good job. They're doing all they can, but

222
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: eventually it's gonna catch up to them when they're pitching,

223
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: you know, four or five innings every night. Marlin starters

224
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: have to do a better job of going deeper into games.

225
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: The next bad thing bad situational hitting. We just talked

226
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: about it. Two for ten with runners in scoring position today.

227
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: That's really not good. That's really really bad. He can't

228
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: be hitting two hundred with runners in scoring position consistently

229
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: and expect to win a bunch of ball games. Marlins

230
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: need to do a better job hitting with runners in

231
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: scoring position like they were doing in the Baltimore Series,

232
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: like they were doing in the Philly Series if they

233
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: want to get more production out of this offense.

234
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: But yeah, we had guys out there, we just didn't

235
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: get the big hit. And but honestly they had the

236
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: same thing. They could They both teams could have scored

237
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 3: a ton of runs if they got some big hits.

238
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 3: So you know, it's kind of even from both teams

239
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 3: leaving guys and having opportunities and didn't really capitalize.

240
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: The yards got to come up bigger. Monte's got to

241
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: come up bigger. Dickerson has got to come up bigger.

242
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: He was a little better in the last few games,

243
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: in the last couple of games, I mean, but he's

244
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: got to come up bigger. He's got to drive in

245
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: some runs. You know, the lineup is like, you know,

246
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: you're not wanting to see Birdie, I'm looking at it now,

247
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: Bertie Joyce, Love Arnway and Eddie Alvarez in the lineup

248
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: every day. That's not the lineup that you want to

249
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: see every day. But those guys have to come through

250
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: and and and the guys that really need to come

251
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: through are the guys that are in the lineup every day,

252
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: like VR, like Monte, like Dickerson. So you know, even Joyce,

253
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: who's gonna be in the lineup more often than than

254
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: a love Arnway or an Eddie, but might not be

255
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: in it every day. He's got to come through. And

256
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: and those guys had some really tough at bats and

257
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: some port and some you know, big situations, and then

258
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: VR and Monte. So let's talk about VR. You know,

259
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: he's a good player. He's gonna go through up in downs.

260
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: It happens. It's really frustrating when he goes through downs

261
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: because we know what he can be when he's good.

262
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: He had a really, really tough series. He had a

263
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: lot of really bad at bats the last couple of nights.

264
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: He's got to be better if the Marlins want to

265
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: get this offense going, especially because he's hitting in the

266
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: leadoff spot. Let's talk about Monte. You know, I've hyped

267
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: Monte up as the next big thing. I still think

268
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a really good Major leaguer. I'm not

269
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: going to overreact to six or seven games whatever he's

270
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: played in now, but he's got to be better. His

271
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: approach is really good, Like his approach is, what, you know,

272
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: more than what I expected from him. He's working deep counts,

273
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: he's working three ball counts. He's laying off you know,

274
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: tough breaking pitches, laying off off speed stuff. So that's

275
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: really good. That's what you want to see from Monte.

276
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: But he has to put the bat on the ball.

277
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: He swung through a lot of good fastballs that were

278
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: over the plate today from de Gram, from Hughes, from

279
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz. His strikeout against Edwin Diaz was ninety seven,

280
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: ninety eight, ninety nine over the plate, and he just

281
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: swung right through all of them. He's got to start

282
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: putting the bat on the ball more, making more contact.

283
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: He's still gonna be a good player. I really like

284
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: his approach, and I think results will come with approach,

285
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: but results will also come with putting the ball in play,

286
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: and he needs to do that more. There's some fine

287
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: tuning that needs to be done with Monte, but I

288
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: still think he'll be a good player. I'm not panicking yet.

289
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: I won't mind if they send him back to the

290
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: alternate training site. I think it's a possibility. But also

291
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: you got to let him work out the kinks, and

292
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: I think, you know, he makes some small adjustments with

293
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: rous In and starts putting the ball and play more

294
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: he'll be a good hitter. Let's talk about the good

295
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: because we haven't done a lot of that. Corey Dickerson,

296
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: after hitting a little bit of a funk, had three

297
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: hits the last two nights. That's definitely a good thing.

298
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: You want to see him get going. Brian Anderson is

299
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: still really good. He was three for seven with a

300
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: walk the last couple of nights. A negative is that

301
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: he had four strikeouts, so every time he got out

302
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: he struck out. But he's still really good. He made

303
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: a nice defensive play today. You know, he extend BA

304
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: extend him. He's still hitting over three hundred for the

305
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: year so far, so good series for Brian Anderson. The really,

306
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: really good Jesus Aguilar, he was definitely the MVP of

307
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: the series if we had one. He had six hits

308
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: in the series, two doubles, the home run today, and

309
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: the big thing is for a power hitter like that,

310
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: he only struck out one time. That's really huge. He's

311
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: putting the ball in play even if he's getting out.

312
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's productive and he's helping the team and

313
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: keeping the line moving. So I love what I'm seeing

314
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: from Aguilar so far. You know that established major league

315
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: presence that the Marlins needed to get the offense rolling.

316
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: He's been that guy so far and it was a

317
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: great series for him. The last thing that was really

318
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: good is that, you know, for all the negative things

319
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: that we've talked about today, the Marlins still had a

320
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: fighting spirit. They were still in this game right to

321
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: the end. You know, they loaded the bases towards the

322
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: end of it. They gave themselves a chance. They gave

323
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: themselves chances to win the game. The problem is they

324
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: didn't take advantage of the chances to win the game.

325
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: So that's definitely a positive that they're in these games

326
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: and that they're competing and that they're not letting these

327
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: games get away from them. There were plenty of chances

328
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: for the game to get away from the Marlins today,

329
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: but they held on. They did a good job of

330
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: not letting it get away from them, and so that's

331
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: certainly something positive to take away amidst all the negatives.

332
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: Now we look forward after this Mets series. The Marlins

333
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: have a day off tomorrow. I said, that's a huge, huge,

334
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: that's very big for the Marlins. They need that very badly.

335
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: That's a huge thing for the Bullpen especially we go

336
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: to to Buffalo to face the Blue Jays. I know

337
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: that sounds weird, but yes, we're sending up to Buffalo

338
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: to face the Toronto Blue Jays. Up there, all those kids,

339
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: we got Bishett's kid, we got Flag's kid, and who else,

340
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: Bigio's kid, and then we face a really good he's

341
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: not a kid, a kid in terms of being a

342
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: son of a formerly Major league baseball player, but he's

343
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: a kid. We'll talk about him in a second. He's

344
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: gonna be pitching on Wednesday. So on Tuesday, the matchup

345
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: is Eliezer Hernandez, who had a pretty good outing in

346
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: Baltimore the other night. Marlins need him to eat up

347
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: some innings. It would be nice to see him get

348
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: into the fifth again against Hynjin Ryu, the big free

349
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: agent signing for the Blue Jays. He's their ace, so

350
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: that's a lefty. We'll expect to see Monte and Brinton

351
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: in the lineup, and then Wednesday is where we really

352
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: get to see the firepower for the Blue Jays. Yamamoto

353
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: will be on the mound for the Marlins. I'm excited

354
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: to see him. Hopefully he'll bounce back from what was

355
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: kind of a tough start the other night, and definitely

356
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: one to see him go five or six innings. And

357
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: then it's Nate Pearson on the bump for the blue Jays.

358
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: If you haven't heard about this kid, go check him out.

359
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna throw gas. He's got good off speed stuff.

360
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: He's just one of these kids that's just coming up

361
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: and and all these pitchers that are coming up now

362
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: seem to be throwing gas with good off speed stuff

363
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: and good breaking stuff. And he's just the next one

364
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: for the Blue Jays. He has ace potential for them,

365
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: So it'll certainly be an interesting series for the Marlins.

366
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: The Marlins need to get back rolling. They need to

367
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: get some momentum back in the clubhouse. They need to

368
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: start riding that wave again, getting it back up, and

369
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: they head to Buffalo, not Toronto. They head to Buffalo

370
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: on Tuesday night to start getting back in the swing

371
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: of things
