1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: Hey, welcome to Big Fish A small pod on the 2 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: September eighth. I'm at wardall your host here Wednesdays and 3 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: Fridays on the pod. Daniel's with you on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 4 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: Last night, the Marlins based the Mets again. Again, it's 5 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,159 Speaker 1: the Mets. They're in town some more. I'm at the 6 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: point of the year myself where it feels like we've 7 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: seen the Mets at least for the last eight weeks straight. 8 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: No doubt that's a personal problem. But as the game 9 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: got underway, Edward Cabrera facing the Mets for the second time. 10 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: Already three starts in his major league career, two have 11 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: been against the Mets. And they're a good team. They 12 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: have a lot of really good hitters. They've had a 13 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: focused attack of late. Just the patient that they can 14 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: display is certainly there. Obviously Hobby Bayez is an exception 15 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: to that rule. It's like you just know that that's 16 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: gonna be like three pitches. But looking just like deepen 17 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: their lineup, even like Patrick Mazika catcher there, he's showing 18 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: a lot of discipline. It's looking like the reinforcements for 19 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: the Mets kind of help them focus their attack, or 20 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: at least that's how it's just like seemed to me 21 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: the fan watching at home. But that said, this is 22 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: a Marlins podcast. We're here for the Marlins. We're here 23 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: for Edgard Cabrera, and he approached this Mets lineup aggressively. 24 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: He was pitching people up and in out the gate. Yeah, 25 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: kind kind of rough, kind of this kid's coming out, 26 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: throwing the heat up and in. He was hitting like 27 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: ninety nine on the ballot sports gun, getting some swing 28 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: and miss on that slider. My take is that the 29 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: Mets saw through that aggressive strategy, as as Pete Alonso 30 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: Homard in the first taking a high fastball, no doubt, 31 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: out of the park for an early two runs. It 32 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: felt like he just saw Edward. He knew that pitch 33 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: was going to be there and it was going to 34 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: be out the top of the lineup with Jazz Ryan 35 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: Jyzeus had some fight in the first anything three consecutive hits, 36 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: scored a run, brought up Brinson, who had a confusing 37 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: at bat. He took Carlos Carrasco and Patrick Mazeka fed 38 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: him just like three straight changeups down and in, and 39 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: he swung and missed. At every single one and ending 40 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: in that bat and just making it seem like he 41 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: couldn't identify the pitch that sort of just like sharp 42 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: persis and like if that's like a single way to 43 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: get Lewis Prinson out until he fixes it, like that's 44 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: gonna be a good way to get him out. It 45 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: might be like a vision thing, it might be a 46 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:17,839 Speaker 1: pinch identification thing. But that was a real real weak 47 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: spot and the Mets like noticed it and exploited it 48 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: the similar approach that they take offensively though, I mean 49 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: just straight up the approach that you should take to 50 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: win in baseball. You just gotta know how to be 51 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: your opponent. Anyways, as the game went on, I got 52 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: dumbfounded with the cinnamon toast crunch mascot second row behind 53 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: home plate. I'm gonna try it to be catastrophic when 54 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: talking about this, because I have in the past written 55 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: things for fish stripes that like were like pretty like 56 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: pushed back on the various ways that like major league 57 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: teams can like make money. And I don't mean to 58 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: like fully just like beat down on it, but it 59 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: looked like just people in that section behind home plate, 60 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: do we're having trouble? Watching the game. Edward Cabrera's third 61 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: major league start kind of a bummer for those fans 62 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: to you know, like miss any of it. I can't 63 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: get past the fact that, like, the original vision for 64 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: Marlin's Park was Marlin's Park and fish tanks at the backstop, 65 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: and now it's lone depot park with cinnamon toast crunch 66 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: in the stands. A confusing little aside in a game 67 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: against the Mets that that so quickly seemed to fall apart. 68 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: Edward Cabrera in the third inning walked three straight, then 69 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: hit two batters, allowing to unto to score and exposing 70 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: him just period at like outright, it wasn't a good start, 71 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: not quite three innings. That wildness that came into play, 72 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: I mean it was in play early in the first inning. 73 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: There was some kind of like long aup bats just 74 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: because he wasn't in the strike zone, you know, trying 75 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: to hit that up and end spot. But wow fully, 76 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: I don't expect an issue going forward. Edward's already pretty 77 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: much said, like, yeah, learning and grow from it is 78 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: the approach, and that's like, yeah, the fact that he 79 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: like perhaps had like a limited approach against these pictures 80 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: was like an attack was to like be aggressive. It 81 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: not quite pitch sequencing the way you want. It's not 82 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: quite just making yourself as confusing as possible for these 83 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: opposing hitters. So as you get a little wild, as 84 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: the nerves start going, as a rookie pitcher who just 85 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: had to look at this like cinnamon toast crunch mascot 86 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: for and half inning behind home plate, mimicking the umpire 87 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: because that's what the cereal should be. It should be 88 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: the umpire, and there's enough room there to be just 89 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 1: like fully overwhelmed, confused, lost, And he kind of showed 90 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: that in the third inning with the wildness, with the 91 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: hit by pitches, staying with its approach but not quite 92 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: able to execute. The Marlins fought back. Edward Cabrera had 93 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: a double of his own, scored Eddie Alvarez from first, 94 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: and in the bottom of the third inning, Isan Diez 95 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: hit a sacrifice fly scored Lewis Brinson. Bront Corgel fioed 96 00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: to third for Eddie Alvarez, who doubled brought home the run. 97 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: The game was tied. After Edward Cabrera was ousted from 98 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: the game, Zach Thompson came in and settled it down, 99 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: and then in the sixth inning, Paul Campbell found some trouble. 100 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: This is after a good inning by Paul Campbell, sorry 101 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: innings by Paul Campbell. He couldn't quite hold it, got 102 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: some runners on base, Zach Popp didn't fully execute himself, 103 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: an error by Jazz scored Jeff McNeil. Then Francisco Lindor 104 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: came through with a two RBI single in the sixth, 105 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: bringing the Mets up seven to four against the Marlins, 106 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: and they'd continue to score. Ja d Davis had an 107 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: RBI double in the eighth, and then Pete Alonso had 108 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: another home run in the ninth to really send my 109 00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: hemi home. Ah, it was a rough one. Looking at 110 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: the lineup, it's hard to imagine any real sustained offense. 111 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: The Marlins had ten hits, but how Faro hitless? Isan 112 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: Diaz hitless. Certainly to me an ops below six hundred 113 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: is the red flag. The top end of the bullpen 114 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: did get get some rest as a bender. Floro liar all, 115 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: we're out of this one. It's the first game of 116 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: the series, and I might feel entirely different in two days, 117 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: but for now, the Marlins are zero to one on 118 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: the Mets nine to four the final, the rookie pitcher 119 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: had some struggles. Jazz Chisholm seemed to be the Marlin's 120 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 1: best hitter. Michael Kinford is hit by Pitch Conner just 121 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: like mentally took me back to April, and it's weird 122 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: to see Jazz as the best hitter at the time. 123 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: He was more of like that, kind of like Burge name, 124 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: struggling rookie. And still though those Rule five pitchers pushed 125 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: into a difficult spot, didn't quite get it done. Obviously, 126 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: that has not been the story all year, particularly for 127 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: Zach Pop and Paul Campbell's had his you know, obvious 128 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: difficulties with the suspension. But last night was another loss 129 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: in a season that is now at fifty seven and 130 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: eighty one. Just wow, September can sometimes really hate you. 131 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: A lot of exciting stuff to go forward, are really 132 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: cool top of the lineup, and so much good pitching. 133 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: The thing that I'm looking forward to today is another 134 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: Sandy start. He's had an I don't know, a triumphant year. 135 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: He's going against rich hill tonight at six point forty 136 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: after a triumphant day for Cereal at Lone Depot Park. 137 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: I'm looking for to the rest of this series. It's 138 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: been pretty exposing thus far of the marlins and an 139 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: overall good time to see where they are at. So 140 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: for the podcast, I've been eighty where dull Fish stripes 141 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: will get covered in print for the latest news, any updates, 142 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: and whatnot prior to the game game there will be 143 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: up about an hour before first pitch. Big Fish Small 144 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: Pod will return to you tomorrow
