1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Today is July twenty first, and this is Big Fish

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Small Pod. I'm a t Verdal here on the Fish

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Strips Podcast Network talking to you. I'm here for you

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: if you are listening. The Marlins season is headed towards

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: the trade deadline as a major factor impact in the season.

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: Yesterday New York Times had an article about spin rates

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: in baseball as overall, this season in the major leagues

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: has been a season of transition, filled with injuries all

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: over the league and adjustments as pitchers now have to

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: throw without sticky substances and decision makers are faced with

11
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: a full season's length. It's a weird state of the game.

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: So what I'd like to do today is catch you

13
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: up on the Marlins, look at their organization starting in Jupiter,

14
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: and just catch you up to the major leagues. Take

15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: a peek at their game last night, and set you

16
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: up for today in Marlin's Baseball. So yesterday, the Jupiter

17
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: Hammerheads sent Chris Mokma to the mound, following up an

18
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: outing last week where he gave up eight runs in

19
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: less than two innings. Chris, at twenty years old, still

20
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: looking to develop and improve as a prospect, pitched six

21
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: solid innings of one run ball to get him back

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: on track set the target straight ahead. This outing kept

23
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: the team in the game and the bullpen with success.

24
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: Leo at bridget to Eli ve Lobos, who's a twenty

25
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: four year old prospect that I wanted to talk about

26
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: for a second because he recorded his second save for

27
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: the Hammerheads last night. Struck out two batters to do it,

28
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: and has mostly pitched in low A, only briefly appeared

29
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: at high A, gave up two runs, and then appeared

30
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: back in twenty eighteen. But now that he's in the

31
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: Marlins organization as a reliever, he's looking to max out

32
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: his development from that position, and last night he was effective. Furthermore,

33
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: with the Hammerheads, Nacy Nuniaz single to lead off the game,

34
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: came around to score on some wild pitches, had a

35
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: two hit game as well, and got another rep on

36
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: the base pass but was thrown out stealing. This time around,

37
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: the Hammerheads were able to score regularly in this game.

38
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: Davis Bradshaw had to sacrifice fly in the second and

39
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: Javon Cody had an extra base hit. The middle of

40
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: order was pretty lax. Nick Greedy was Hitler's Victor Mason

41
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: Junior had just a single. The Hammerheads would win five

42
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: to two. Then at Perfect Game Field and Cedar Rapids,

43
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: the Beloit Snappers took on the Cedar Rapids corn Huskers.

44
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: Kyle Nichols got the start and pitched the best outing

45
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: of his young career. He struck out eleven in a

46
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: start back in May, has pitched to an overall ERA

47
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: of five point seven, but last night he went six innings,

48
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: a career high, and struck out ten on just ninety

49
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: three pitches. Throwing to Will Banfield in relief, Brady Puckett

50
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: gave up two runs, but in the ninth down one,

51
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: Marcus Rivera let off with a much needed double After

52
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: an ERA and a pass ball, He came round to

53
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: score put but the offense failed to execute with three

54
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: consecutive case to end the top of the night. With

55
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: the tied, Tyler Mitzel came in and he could not

56
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: record an out as two consecutive hits ended the night.

57
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: At Perfect Game Field in Cedar Rapids and A, Snappers

58
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: lost away with the Blue Wahoos. Griffin Conin had his

59
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: first game at double A on the road in Montgomery,

60
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: batting third against Tobias Myers. The twenty sixteen to sixth

61
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: rounder taken out of pointer even high school of high

62
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: school prospect Risen through the ranks, made it all the

63
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: way to double A and held the Blue wah Who's

64
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: hitless through six as Tobias collected twelve strikeouts, his night

65
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: was done. Then Will Stewart on the mount for Pensacola

66
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: paired him well. Was solid through five, allowing just one

67
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: earned run, but gave up a bit of ground on

68
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: three walks two hits. Matt pardon me po Bareco made

69
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: his first appearance out of the bullpen for the Marlins organization.

70
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: Twenty nine year old who's reached Triple A in the

71
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: past and was pitching most recently for the Sioux City

72
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: Explorers in the American Association, striking out thirty seven and

73
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: like twenty four innings. Pitched pretty good results and in

74
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: his first appearance two strikeouts, shut out in and of relief.

75
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: Pretty good start. Despite getting a run in the eighth

76
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: on Galiel Cribbs double the Blue law Who's just didn't

77
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: have it offense went down easy. Griffin Conine wore the

78
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: Gordon sombrero in Montgomery with four strikeouts, but no one

79
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: could really say anything, as Bladet, Burdick and Connor Justice

80
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: at least worked walks, but the double was the team's

81
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: only hit altogether eighteen strikeouts twenty seven outs in Jacksonville,

82
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: though the hits were potent. Paul Campbell got the start

83
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: ahead of a possible return from suspension on August fourth,

84
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: still viewed as starting depth despite a positive test for

85
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: a performance enhancing substance back in May. This was his

86
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: first outing since May third. Brian Anderson also stepped in

87
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 1: at third, batting second to start the game. Paul Campbell

88
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: did walk Lorenzo Kine in the first, but otherwise how

89
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: does stable start? Brian Anderson record his first hit at

90
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: TRIPAA in the first inning, but both offenses were scarce

91
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: until the fifth. Having gone full four innings on fifty

92
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: five pitches, allowing just a single hit with three strikeouts,

93
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: Paul Campbell was forced to work a couple of rough

94
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: at bats, giving up two walks on fifteen pitches, giving

95
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: him seventy pitches on the game and just ending his outing.

96
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: Parker Bug came in after a cot, stealing a strikeout,

97
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: a walk, and a flat. The inning was over without

98
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: any runs scored with a six pitch at bat of

99
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: his own. Brian Miller nail a double and Justin Twine

100
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: brought him home to get the Jumbo Shrimp on the

101
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: board and ahead. Jake Fishman pitched a scoreless inning well

102
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: four hey Goozman strunk out five and his two innings

103
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: of work to close it out with the wind for

104
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: the Jumbo Shrimp.

109
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: For the Marlins, Trevor Rodgers was held to a pitch

110
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: count in his first game of the second half. Micguire

111
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: led off with a single, lifted and blew to left center,

112
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: and He's on seemingly had the same idea of flying

113
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: lightly deep to left hand center for the out before

114
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: Starling Marte made it two on base, but swingmen Palo

115
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,239
Speaker 1: Espino settled it down and made his pitches, getting Haesu's

116
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: Aguila to hit one right into the shift to in

117
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: the inning, Trevor Rodgers was his typical self, shy a

118
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: bit of spin per baseball savant about an inch of

119
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: movement on his change up. The results were there, as

120
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: he kept Miami in it through five, again on a

121
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: pitch count, while his five strikeouts, three walks, and five

122
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: hits allowed two runs two. Despite the dipping stuff, you

123
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: kind of consider it a successful outing as his changeup

124
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: was hitable and generated a weak contact but did miss bats.

125
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: The Marlins were threw five down two. They had their

126
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: shot in the sixth against Austin both Isan Diaz worked

127
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: a seven pitch walk and Starling Marte took his one

128
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: zher pitch on a line for a single, bringing up

129
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: Adam Deval, who took a fast ball down the middle

130
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: out of the park for his twenty first home run

131
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: of the year. The score now three to two. Bottom six.

132
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: With Rogers now out of the game, Richard Bleier came

133
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: in and after a quick ground out, Washington batters were

134
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: able to hit him the other way as an excellent

135
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: pitch hitting at bat by lefty Yadiel Hernandez took him

136
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: away deep down the line for a game tying single.

137
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: Escobar stepped to the plate, Blier pitched him hard inside,

138
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: make him foul off, hit his foot, and then just

139
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: straight up hitting him with a pitch in the arm.

140
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: Alsadis left the game, and Blier continued to argue his

141
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: case that the pitch should have been a third strike

142
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: on a swing that would have ended the inning. With

143
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: Blyer's night over and subsequently ejected, Anthony Bender came in

144
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: with men On and allowed two singles by Trey Turner.

145
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: Juan Soto, the most talented National players in the lineup,

146
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: got to Bender and swung the game in the nationals

147
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: favor as the Marlins went down to Kyle Finnegan, Daniel Hudson,

148
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: and Brad Hand to end the game. A solo shot

149
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: by Josh Harrison off of Stephen Oker set the final

150
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: score of six to three, with Sandy tending to personal matters.

151
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: The Marlins have yet to announce a starter for today,

152
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: July twenty first, but the game time is set for

153
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: seven o five on a getaway night at Fish Stripes.

154
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: We'll have you covered for an announcement of the starter.

155
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: Donna alluded to the fact that it'll likely be a

156
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: call up of some sort ahead of the series finale

157
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: against the Nationals as the Marlins looked to break their
