1
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: Here we go, the official show on the Fish Strips

2
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: podcast channel with me Ela Sussman, presented by Symbol the

3
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: Stock Market for Sports, and we are covering the Miami Marlins.

4
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: I had a big idea for this episode planned out,

5
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: where I was just gonna hype up the Marlins pitching

6
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: staff that in a variety of ways is having unprecedented

7
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: success through fifty games of this twenty twenty one season.

8
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: And then you know, the games themselves got in the way.

9
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: Game number fifty very interesting one, another hard fought loss

10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: for the Marlins as they split their series against the Phillies.

11
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: There'll be a more traditional game recap here on the

12
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: pod channel tomorrow on our small pod with at Word Doll,

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: and we of course have our recap article already up

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: there from Ethan Badowski, who was in the building himself

15
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: at Lone Depot Park for the final game of that

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: home stands. But here I'm going to make sure to

17
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: just run down a few really particular items from the

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: game that stuck out to me that I have some

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: pretty serious ramifications. After the break, we're going to go

20
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: into all the injury updates, because there are quite a

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: few to go through on the position player side for

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: the Marlins as they prepare to head out for a

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: ten game road trip, and I think safe to say

24
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: there are going to be some roster moves coming in

25
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: the immediate future. I mean, there was a surprise roster

26
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: move before this game. There's a lot to unpack with

27
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: who is available for this team and how they all

28
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: mesh together. And then finally at the end of the show,

29
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: we will get to an abbreviated segment on what I

30
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: wanted to get into about this Marlins pitching staff, which

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: has really done a lot to carry this team to

32
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: this point in the season. Despite the outcome on here

33
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: on Thursday that dropped them to twenty four and twenty six.

34
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: I mean, overall, this team is in a pretty decent

35
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: place relative to what expectations were. The question is how

36
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: much they can maintain it moving forward into this game

37
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: against the Phillies. They end up losing three to two

38
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: at home, splitting a four game series. As I had

39
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: mentioned a couple of times on Fish Stripes, and the

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: Marlins had won six of the last seven series against

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: the Phillies, they had owned them and this game they

42
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: were favored in this game, having Pablo Lopez on the mounds,

43
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: going against Spencer Howard, the top prospect from the Phillies.

44
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: He just graduated from top prospect eligibility, but he's had

45
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: kind of a shaky run so far in the Majors.

46
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: He shuts the Marlins down pretty easily through the first

47
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: four endings before scuffling in the fifth, and Marlins have

48
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: a bases loaded, no outs opportunity in the bottom of

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: the fifth and only scored one run out of it.

50
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 1: So that's going to bring me into one note I

51
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: wanted to get into about is san Diez, who very

52
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: briefly was on the injured list for what appears to

53
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: have been just a COVID related precaution because he was

54
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: only out for a couple of days before they allowed

55
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: him to be reinstated, and so far some mixed results

56
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: from him. I mean, the hitting results overall are not

57
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: good through these first two games, but if you were

58
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: watching this game, if you're watching his previous game, he's

59
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: had some really impressively hit balls. He was robbed of

60
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: the home run on Wednesday by Odubal Horrera. In this game,

61
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: he was robbed of a line drive at least a double,

62
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: if not a triple to left field on a great

63
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: diving catch by the Phillies left fielder in this one,

64
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: in this situation in the fifth, he was on second base,

65
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: who was representing the potential tying run in this situation

66
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: with Sandy Leon ahead of him on third, And I

67
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: got the clip and I posted it on Twitter right

68
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: after it happened of Isan making a little hesitation at

69
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: second base on what was a medium deep flyball to

70
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: center field.

71
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: Aggie Lar lifts it to center and we'll see what

72
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: that arm from Oduba Horrera looks like. Gleon not the fastest.

73
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: It's cut off through the third is in time run

74
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: came across first, So the Marlins get one and that

75
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: will sit down the side still. Ranger Suarez enters this game,

76
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: bass is loaded nobody and allows just to run.

77
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what was going on with him. If

78
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: you hesitate there, generally as a base runner that you

79
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: would go back to the base after that, that tells

80
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: you that in that situation that you can't afford that

81
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: kind of indecision in that situation. Already with Well it

82
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: was one out in the ending and then the ball

83
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: was caught in center field for the second out, so

84
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: two outs in that situation, right as the heart of

85
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: the Marlins order was coming up too. Just a very

86
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: strange game because Haysiu's Aguilar was not in the starting lineup,

87
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: but he was the pinch hitter here that hit that

88
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: sacrifice fly that brought Leone home. A very interesting tactic

89
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: to use him in the fifth ending, but that was

90
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: a pretty important spot to do it, and so he's

91
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: the one that gets that hit. Miguel Rojas is the

92
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: next guy up, who was probably the best hitter that

93
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: was in the lineup for the Marlins on Thursday. That

94
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: shows you no offense to Mickey, but that shows you

95
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: exactly what kind of talent deficit they're at right now,

96
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: where Miguel Rojas was kind of the biggest threat at

97
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: the plate that they had coming up next, and he

98
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have an opportunity to come up because Isson gets

99
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: thrown out at third for the double play. Now, thankfully

100
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: Leone had just enough time to score so that the

101
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: run counted and that made it two to one with

102
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: the Marlins trailing. So think I mean, it would have

103
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: been one of the all one of the really unacceptable

104
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: bloopers of this Marlin season if he had got himself

105
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: out before the run scored. But even so, that's just

106
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: a really disappointing fundamental error. And that was one of

107
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: really the difference in this game is the fundamentals for

108
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: the Marlins. There was that Esan play right there, a

109
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: couple other defensively plays by the Marlins that were sketchy.

110
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: Adam Duvall, who has been so great defensively all year anyway,

111
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: you look at it, an elite defensive outfielder on pays

112
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: for a Gold Glove, for whatever that means to you.

113
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: In this game, there was that line drive into the

114
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: right center field gap and he made this awkward slide

115
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: to cut in front of John Birdie that turned what

116
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: should have been a single into a double. And it

117
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: looks like the official scorer he originally assigned Duval an

118
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: error there and then kind of changed his mind and

119
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: awarded it a double. But that was still a very

120
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: uncharacteristically over aggressive play by Duval, even though John Birdie

121
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: was right there, and that costed them an extra base,

122
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: even if it doesn't show up in the stat sheet.

123
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: And I mean, the next place to jump ahead to

124
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: is the ninth inning where the Marlins in the eighth

125
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: they tied up, So I'll go to the eighth first

126
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: where they tied up down two to one, facing hard

127
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: throwing Jose Alvarado one hundred mile per hour heat from

128
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 1: the left side, but questionable control. He walks a couple

129
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: guys in that ending to set up this opportunity for

130
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: Corey Dickerson, and that's where Miguel Rojas, who was a

131
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: runner on first base, gets picked off. And we've seen

132
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: this too much for the Marlins this season, the league

133
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: leading ninth time that a Marlins player had been picked

134
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: off on the bases this season, more than any other

135
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: team in an era where teams are so protective of

136
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: those outs that they are very timid on the bass paths.

137
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: And while it's more fun, you know, to take some

138
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: chances that in that situation, when he wasn't even the

139
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: lead runner for the Marlins, there they had the potential

140
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: time run on second base in the form of Jose Devers.

141
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: Just really disappointing from Rojas. That's the second time that

142
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: he individually has been picked off this season, and that

143
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: leads to the second out of the ending. Then a

144
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: curious decision in the bottom of the eighth to take

145
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: out Corey Dickerson for Garrett Cooper. Now we know Cooper

146
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: had an incredible homestand he is playing his best ball

147
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: of the season, one of the hottest streaks of his

148
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: whole Marlin's career, and he delivers what was a game

149
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: tying RBI single.

150
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: Cooper on the ground, you're the right side devers rounding third,

151
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 3: and he will score and tie the game at two.

152
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 3: Garry Cooper on the bench cuts through for the Marlins.

153
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: You look at his numbers now two sixty four this

154
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: year with a seven seventy seven ops and that doesn't

155
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: sound like much, but keep in mind offense in baseball

156
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: is way down this year compared to any other recent year,

157
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: and we'll get into that in the final segment of

158
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: the show. And the dreadful start that Cooper was off

159
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: to through more than an entire month of the season,

160
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: he was awful, and there was legitimate concerns about what

161
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: to do with him. The fact that he has rebounded

162
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: so quickly in a matter of just a few weeks

163
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: and particularly over this past week, it's great. And it's

164
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: great because he also entered this game as one of

165
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: the guys with injury concerns. He had been resting for

166
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: most of the last two games due to oblique tightness,

167
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: which really scares you because if that turned into an

168
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: oblique strain, then all of a sudden, you have no

169
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: idea when you're going to get him back. But thankfully

170
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: he was good enough to hit, he was good enough

171
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: to play in right field in the ninth inning. That

172
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: budes very well for this upcoming road trip that he'll

173
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: be a regular in the lineup. And I mean, as

174
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: we're going to get to he should have some pretty

175
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: regular playing time as we move forward. And so they

176
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: tied up in the eighth inning despite Miggy's blunder there,

177
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: and Miggi hurts his finger as we'll get into after

178
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: the break where he hurts his finger trying to slide

179
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: back to first base. So in the ninth tie game,

180
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: they bring in Jimmy Garcia. You know that's the typical

181
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: move when it's tied and you're the home team, there

182
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: won't be a save situation at any point. Gimme starts

183
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: the game allowing a long flyball to right field, and

184
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 1: as I hinted at, Garrett Cooper is out there. He's

185
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: played a lot of right field this season, and he

186
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: has not looked good out there, particularly plays near the wall.

187
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened here, a deep flyball that ends

188
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: up i think just grazing the bottom of the wall.

189
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: It was a catchable play. I'd love to see, you know,

190
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: the stat cast on that in terms of what the

191
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: catch probability was for an average right fielder in that situation.

192
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: He didn't get a great jump. He made this kind

193
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: of a half ass attempt at trying to reach up

194
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: and get it, but what a particularly close and he

195
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: ends up landing off balance. So that allows who was

196
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: at Odubal Herrera to turn it into a triple, a

197
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: lead off triple. You know, it's one thing to not

198
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: catch the ball, but to play it kind of recklessly.

199
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: After that, for Herrera to get to third in a

200
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: tie game, that was disappointing by Cooper again kind of

201
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: grading on a curve because he was managing this oblique tightness.

202
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: But still that's that extra base proved so costly because

203
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: they end up allowing that run to score. Jimmy gets

204
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: the first out of that, ending strands Herrera at third

205
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: for the time being. Then he issued a walk to

206
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: Matt Joyce on a borderline pitch and then Ronald Terreyus

207
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: hits a ground ball right back to Jimmy on the mound.

208
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: Herrera gets too far off a third base, you know,

209
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: from my perspective, at least fifteen feet twenty feet off

210
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: a third base by the time Jimmy has the ball

211
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: and has a chance to look at him. But Jimmy

212
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: pretty like convincingly goes to second base immediately. He doesn't

213
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: seem to make much of a like enter his thought

214
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: process that Herrera, who represents the potential winning run, is

215
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: important to get there, so he turns to second The

216
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: throw was pretty accurate to seconds, but because he kind

217
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: of rushed through it so much, he doesn't look Herrera

218
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: back to third base. He doesn't like pump fake. He

219
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: doesn't hold Herrera, even though Herrera is kind of the

220
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: one runner that really matters here. So they go to

221
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: second Eson fields it there not the quickest exchange from

222
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: Eston at second base and throws the first and Terres

223
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: beats it by about half a step. It was a

224
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: close play, close enough that they reviewed it, but pretty

225
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: clear upon their review it was maybe even less than

226
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: half a step. It was not quite a bang bang play,

227
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: but very very close and unfortunately that made the difference

228
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: is that I guess if Yum makes a perfect throw

229
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: to second base, if everything is perfect on the turn,

230
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: maybe you get that double play. But the two outs

231
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 1: in that situation probably aren't as valuable as getting that

232
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: runner like glancing off a third base, because Herrera was

233
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: far enough off in my opinion, that they had him stuck,

234
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: they would have been able to get him out for

235
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: that second out of the ending and at least ensure

236
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: that all Yimmy needed was to retire one more to

237
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: get out of the gym. Instead, that run scores, Yimmy

238
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: ends up taking the loss and they don't rally in

239
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: the bottom of the ninth anything else about this game

240
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: to get into. Yeah, so it's a one run loss

241
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: for the Marlins. They're now four and ten this year

242
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: in one run games. If we keep talking about that

243
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: run differential perhaps being the sign of something slightly better

244
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: to come, and now that you have a plus fifteen

245
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: run differential, I think it's still the highest in the

246
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: National League's East, But I mean whatever, it's not really

247
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: the story of the season so far. The story of

248
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: the year is, Yeah, these close games that keep getting

249
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: away if they just split these one run games go

250
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: seven and seven, then right now they would be twenty

251
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: seven and twenty seven and twenty three. I mean, they

252
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: would be essentially tied for first in the division right

253
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: now if they had simply an average record in those

254
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: one run games. But this one was even more disappointing

255
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: than most of those losses because it did come down

256
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: to those fundamentals on the bases defensively ugly, ugly, and

257
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: they're playing a Phillies team that was very shorthanded as well.

258
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: I mean, we're about to get into the injuries that

259
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: the Marlins are dealing with, but the Phillies exact same

260
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: caliber of players that they're missing, if not worse. Honestly,

261
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: it might be just as bad for the Phillies as

262
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: it is for the Marlins right now. So games kind

263
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: of toss up. When you have a great starting pitching

264
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: performance by Pablo, we'll finish on that with this game

265
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: that Pablo was great, he made one mistake to Reee Hoskins.

266
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: It was almost a mirror version of what we saw

267
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: from Sandy on Tuesday, and it was the same guy too.

268
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: It was Reee Hoskins that had that two run home

269
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: run against Sandy. That ends up like determining that game

270
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: that the Marlins lost to nothing. So Sandy won eight

271
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: innings in his game, Pablo only goes seven, an efficient

272
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: seven innings. He a lot of goods, had somewhat of

273
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: the feel of just beating up on a compromised Phillies lineup.

274
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this Phillies lineup was not good. They had

275
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: one guy in there that you were really scared of,

276
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: who was Reyes Hoskins. You go through the rest of

277
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: the list, Odubl Herrera. He's been pretty good lately, but

278
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: just does not have the same upside or consistent track

279
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: record for sure prior to these past few weeks. Matt

280
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: Joyce is over the hill. Alec Bohm has been a

281
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: disaster this year despite showing so much promise as a rookie.

282
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: You're not really that afraid of Brad Miller, especially if

283
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: you have a great change up the way that Pablo does.

284
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: So he did fine. He doesn't get tagged with the

285
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: loss because of Cooper's hit, but once again he does

286
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: not get a winning decision either. Because of this overall

287
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: lack of run support. He is right there near the

288
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: bottom of the league in run support. That he receives.

289
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: We have an article up from Nicole Cahill on Pablo

290
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: kind of breaking down the adjustments he's made the last

291
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: couple of years to turn into one of the really

292
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,359
Speaker 1: great starting pitchers in baseball. Bottom line, that's not hyperbole

293
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: and unfortunately doesn't line up very well with his teammates,

294
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: so frustrating. Way to wrap up the homestand right there

00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: invest in sports. That brings us back to the Marlins

317
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: and their injury situation. The big blow already came earlier

318
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: this week with Brian Anderson going on the injured list.

319
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: Per Kim Eng, he's out for quote several weeks, and

320
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: if she's willing to say several already, I think you

321
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: have to assume maybe even more than a couple three weeks,

322
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: maybe four weeks with a it's a right shoulder excuse me,

323
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: a left shoulder sublexation, which I mean it's kind of various,

324
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: case by case. Fernando Tatist Junior very famously had that

325
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: same injury earlier this season, and he came back right

326
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: around the minimum of ten days. But that's not going

327
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: to be the case with Anderson. That he's still dealing

328
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: with a lot of pain. They got to shut down

329
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: him down from baseball activities and to be determined exactly

330
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: how far he's coming along, but safe to say he

331
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: is out for this entire upcoming road trip. It's his

332
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: second stint on the injured list. He missed, of course,

333
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: a couple of road trips ago he went out with

334
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: that oblique strain, and that was kind of a best

335
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: case scenario with his recovery where he made it back

336
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: in less than two weeks from an oblique strain. I

337
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: was pleasantly surprised by that. This is more serious, unfortunately,

338
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: and it comes as a terrible timing as he was

339
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: just really turning the corner. We've seen in a few

340
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: games that he's been out, the starter has been John Birdie,

341
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: and Isan Diez has off the bench, played third base

342
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: a couple times already. It hasn't really been tested to

343
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: this point, but Isan pretty limited experience at third base,

344
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: and he has enough defensive issues honestly at second base

345
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 1: as well that my hopes are not very high for

346
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: that They're going to lose something defensively without Anderson, and

347
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: they definitely lose something in terms of power potential. Bertie

348
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: had such a clutch hit on Wednesday that put the

349
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: Marlins a head for good. That's great, And with Bertie,

350
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: I've always been relatively high on him. That his numbers

351
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: this year, anyway you slice it, it's been bad. He's

352
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: been a disappointment compared to what he'd done the previous

353
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: couple of years. I didn't really see anything in there

354
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: that made me think that he was kind of over

355
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: the hill. I mean, he's still moving just fine. He's

356
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: striking out more than you'd like, and the plate discipline

357
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: had dropped off a tiny bit from what we'd saw

358
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: in previous years. And all you really need, I think,

359
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: is just a larger sample and he would kind of

360
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: get back to being that solid hit. I mean today

361
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: another example, he walked. He had a clutch walk in

362
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: the later endings of this game. It doesn't end up

363
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: making a difference, but I think he also had a

364
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: walk or two in the previous game as well. As

365
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: long as he's getting walks and putting balls in play

366
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: at like a league average pace, then he's going to

367
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: be a solid offensive player. He got back to stealing

368
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: a base. What was that on two Tuesday where he

369
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: finally stoles third base of the year, he'll be playing

370
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: a lot, so maddingly said, it's going to be kind

371
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: of a split between Bertie and Isan at third base.

372
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: I would expect Bertie to get the line's share of

373
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: the starts, even though he's alrighty and technically like the

374
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: small side of a general platoon, because there's less left

375
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: handed pitching than right handed pitching. I mean, Bertie is

376
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: the better player. There's no other way to like parse

377
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: that based on what he'd done in his recent seasons,

378
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: even based on what we've seen from them this year

379
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: that Bertie is. He's not Brian Anderson. They're going to

380
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: miss Brian Anderson. And this is probably a topic for

381
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: another show, but it's unfortunate for where it has ramifications

382
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: for Ba's potential contract extension conversations. Where he's missed a

383
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: couple weeks earlier in the year, he'll miss quote several

384
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: weeks this time. Maybe it turns into a month that

385
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: will keep down his counting stats. That will make it

386
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: more difficult to recover from that very early season slump

387
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: that he had, and his numbers won't be quite the same.

388
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: That affects how much he could earn an arbitration into

389
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. It's an interesting conversation in terms of

390
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: whether this changes exactly where's relationship with the team looks

391
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: like moving forward. I mean, on it's all said and done,

392
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: this might actually help his case for sticking arounds if

393
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: they do miss him a lot, If that Birdie Isan Diez,

394
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: occasional Jose Devers Combo doesn't fill the void, then it

395
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: makes him look all the more indispensable. I don't think

396
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: we'll see very much devors at third base, because somebody

397
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: has to play shortstop, and it is not going to

398
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: be Miguel Rojas. We spoke to Don Mattingly after the game.

399
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: I sat in on that press conference just to be

400
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: sure I heard him very clearly, and he hinted that

401
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: this is probably an injured list situation for Miguel Rojas.

402
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: Dislocating a finger on his right hand reaching back to

403
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: first base one he got picked off and you could

404
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: see it on the field immediately he clutched at it.

405
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: He was holding it as he was leaving the field

406
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: on his right hand. Really fortunate. It's going to be

407
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: the one, two, three third straight season that Mickey Roe

408
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: spends some time on the injured list in twenty nineteen.

409
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: I think he had that hamstring injury. Obviously last year

410
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: it was contracting COVID and now this year this dislocated

411
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: finger that was popped back into place. But the soreness

412
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: is an issue, potential swelling is an issue. So it

413
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: will take at least another day to confirm exactly where

414
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: he's at with that. Unfortunately, that's the way it's heading,

415
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: is that he'll probably need to go on the IL

416
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: because they need another bat on this roster, so without

417
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: Brian Anderson and now without Miguel Rojas for a certain

418
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: period of time. Now hopefully not as long as an

419
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: absence as Anderson's, but still a little too early to

420
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 1: confirm that one way or the other. And I mean

421
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: time before we get into replacements. You need to tie

422
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: it into Jazz's status as well. Jazz Chism Junior, who

423
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: did not play either of these last two games. On

424
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: Wednesday or Thursday, he did work out on the fields.

425
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: He was shown on Wednesday he was doing some fielding

426
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: drills on his knees so as to not put any

427
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: strain on this ankle sprain that he has. Then on Thursday,

428
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, making what seems to be some progress. He

429
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: was jogging across the field during pregame warmups, but it

430
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: was a jog. It was you can't really say anything

431
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: more than that. It was maybe fifty percent of full speed,

432
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: if not less than that. He's still feeling some soreness,

433
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: according to Mattingley. So he's been out a couple of days,

434
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: and tomorrow will be a critical day for his status

435
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: to figure out whether or not they have to put

436
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: him on the IL. Because the way the injured list is,

437
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: you can backdate. You can make it retroactive at least

438
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: three days, meaning so even if they go on Friday

439
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 1: and he's still not feeling well, they could place him

440
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: on the injured list and he wouldn't have to miss

441
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: a full ten extra days. It would backdate to the

442
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: first day that he was out, which was Wednesday, and

443
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: that's probably what they're going to do. Take some time

444
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: to really see where he's at, and they might even

445
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: wait all the way to Saturdy and because they could

446
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: slip backdate that to Wednesday, in that situation, we might

447
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: not get an answer on Jazz for a full day,

448
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: if not a day and a half from now. To

449
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: figure out exactly how soon he gets back such a

450
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: critical piece it. But it was spoke volumes of today

451
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: that he was not used in this crazy game. They

452
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: at the end of the game they really needed an

453
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: extra infielder or an extra position player of some kinds.

454
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: That the bench was empty aside from Jazz, and they

455
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: did not go to Jazz even with the game on

456
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: the line, in any facet for them, even either defensively

457
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: or as a bass runner or as a hitter. So

458
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: they missed him in this game for sure. He's the

459
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: kind of guy that could have made a difference if

460
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: fully healthy. But the good news is on Gare Cooper

461
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: and that I mentioned already what he did in the

462
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: late endings on Wednesday that would indicate that he has

463
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: dodged a bullet with this oblique tightness and that he'll

464
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: be with this team moving on to this road trip.

465
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: So what are the reinforcements looking like If obviously ba

466
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: is out and we are fully expecting Miguel Rojas to

467
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: be out as well. We know one of the reinforcements

468
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 1: that was called up prior to the game was Lewin

469
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: Diaz kind of very abruptly put into the lineup in

470
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: place of Nick Knighter. Who suffered biceps inflammation. Disappointing setback

471
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: for Knighter where he had what was his best start

472
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: of the season to date of his young major league

473
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: career on Wednesday, even though the team kind of won

474
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: for him in the late readings. So that's really disappointing

475
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: for Nider, where he still lent some progress to make

476
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: and he doesn't have an obvious role in the rotation

477
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: or even in the major league pitching staff for the

478
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: moment with Eliez or Hernandez almost on the way back,

479
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: but it was a nice step and so that's really

480
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: unfortunate that he'll have to shut things down for a

481
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: little period of time. So not totally sure on the

482
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: severity of Nigert's biceps inflammation, but frustrating for him for sure.

483
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: We just know that they've been fortunate so far at

484
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: the top of this rotation that everybody's been staying healthy. Eventually,

485
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: you're going to need to go a little deeper into

486
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: this minor league depth to get this rotation through the season,

487
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: and Nier it is kind of an obvious candidate to

488
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: try to prove himself. Unfortunate step back and replacing him

489
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: on the roster was leywin Diez who in Triple A.

490
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: He got off to a hot start like the first

491
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: week and a half and then ice cold over the

492
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: next week and a half before getting called up. I

493
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: think fish on the farm Alex Carver. He mentioned there

494
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: was an zero for twenty slump going on in there

495
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: that really dropped his stats down to like league average

496
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: by Triple A standards. For it's just small samples as fun,

497
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: but he was tearing apart left handed pitching during that

498
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: small sample to start the year and ops in the

499
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: eleven hundreds, just dominating lefties, including several home runs during

500
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: these first few weeks of the minor league season. But

501
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: today overall just discouraging day Like he had a great

502
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: play defensively to turn a double play all by himself unassisted.

503
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: We know he's a plus defender. That's the aspect of

504
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: his game that I've been extremely high on throughout against

505
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: there was that I was watching very closely his first

506
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: at bat against Spencer Howard where he got a couple

507
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: of pitches to hit, but he was not timing up

508
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: the fastball or the curveball correctly and fouled them off

509
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: before striking out. Then he faced a couple lefties later

510
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: in the game, and despite what the stats say at

511
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: Triple A, he did not look comfortable, didn't look like

512
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: he was seeing the ball or reacting well to either

513
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: of those guys, very different lefties, one Ranger Sworez and

514
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: then Jose Alvarado chasing out of the zone. It was

515
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: it was not a great first impression. Obviously, Haysus Aguilar

516
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: will be the primary first baseman, but they called him

517
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: up for one immediately because they didn't know for sure

518
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: about Garrett Cooper's status and that would have left Aguilar

519
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: as the lone first basement available. But also because anticipating

520
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: this road trip where there's going to be the designated

521
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: hitter in Boston and in against the Blue Jays, playing

522
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: in Buffalo for these next six games coming up, our

523
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: next seven games, next two series whatever coming up against

524
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: the Red Sox and the Blue Jays, that they'll have

525
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: the DH. So what does that mean. That means that

526
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: they were able to kind of rush Starling Marte through

527
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: his rehab assignment. Maddingly said, he is flying to Boston.

528
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: He's meeting the team there. Starling Marte is back. He's

529
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: back after missing got over thirty games for this team over.

530
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: It was heard in the third week of April, so

531
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: he ends up missing about six weeks with at rib fracture,

532
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: and he only got a chance to play in two

533
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: rehab games for Jacksonville before making this trip, so that

534
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: is they had to rush it that My expectation coming

535
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: into this week is that he would spend a full

536
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: series basically in Jacksonville, play either four or five games,

537
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: play a couple of times in center field, play back

538
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: to back days in the field, just to make totally

539
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: sure that he's ready. And instead they have to pull

540
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: the plug after, you know, just six played appearances. They

541
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: didn't do anything special with the plate. Otherwise we would

542
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: have put the videos on fist stripes, you know that.

543
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: But he didn't do anything exciting, you know. He popped

544
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: up a couple of times, grounded out. I think he

545
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: may have struck out once, but he did play back

546
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: to back days on Tuesday and Wednesday. One is the

547
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: DH one is the center fielder. It'll be obviously great

548
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: to have him back on multiple levels, given how well

549
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: he's playing earlier in the year. The reality is that

550
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: this was a rushed rehab assignment kind of by necessity.

551
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 1: As we're about to get into. It's just a messy

552
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: forty man roster situation. They don't have many major league

553
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: ready position players on the forty man and at the moment,

554
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: that's where kind of almost all their injuries are is

555
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: on the position player side, with Ba, with Meggy, and

556
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: then the scares obviously with Jazz and with Cooper in

557
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: recent days that there's just very little flexibility here. But

558
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: Starling was on the forty man, so they could just

559
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: call him up and we'll I mean, the obvious corresponding

560
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: move would be putting Rojas on the injured list to

561
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: make room for Starling Marte. That's kind of what I'm

562
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: expecting to happen right there. With Marte coming back and

563
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: rejoining the team. I would just caution you not to

564
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: expect much at the play during this first series in Boston,

565
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: that he just did not have an opportunity during in

566
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: these minor league games to get his timing fully back.

567
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: It takes a lot of reps, and I'm sure he

568
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: will admit to that once he's available to the media.

569
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: Next time someone that we're excited about, it's just he's

570
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: not going to be a savior really for this offense

571
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: that had had a rough series against the Phillies. Even

572
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: though they split the series, this offense really held them back,

573
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: both with some of those fundamental issues I mentioned earlier,

574
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: but more importantly with the simple lack of pop in

575
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: this lineup. Right now, it's Cooper and I guess when

576
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: Hasus Aguilar goes on the road, he kind of reaches

577
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: a higher plane of existence and starts mashing again. But

578
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: at home during these previous four games, it was gross

579
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: and even dating back, honestly, the whole home stand even

580
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: against the Mets, just eking out several of these games

581
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: without hitting for any power whatsoever. When Marte is fully

582
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: up to speed, he will help him in that department

583
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: for sure. However, he will take starts away from magneris Sierra,

584
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: And if you've read, Fish Strips had a recent article

585
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: about Sierra being a good luck charm and how the

586
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: updated SAT as of this moment is that the Marlins

587
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: are eighteen to ten over the last two seasons when

588
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: Sierra is in the starting lineup, and Marte will pretty

589
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: obviously be taking away almost all those starts from Sierra

590
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: when he gets back. Some of those other reinforcements, though,

591
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: the reason why we need to talk about other potential

592
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: call ups. Is that. I mean, right now, you're kind

593
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: of forcing Jose Devers to be the semi regular starting

594
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: shortstop for the Marlins. Incredible. I mean, he's twenty one

595
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: and a half years old. He is one of the

596
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: youngest players in the majors right now. I believe he

597
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 1: is the youngest position player on an active roster in

598
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: the major leagues right now. He's not like, it's not

599
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: a total fluke. I mean, this guy, by most evaluators opinions,

600
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: he's a top fifteen prospect in the Marlins system, although

601
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: Fangrafts has been lower on him than those other outlets.

602
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: We've seen his defense, it's very good. We've seen his

603
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: base running, it's great. I mean as a sprinter, he's

604
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: already one of the faster guys on the team. In

605
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: kind of in the same ballpark as Birdie and as Sierra.

606
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: That's an important aspect. He had some nice moments during

607
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: this series, for sure. Against the Phillies on Wednesday, he

608
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: became the youngest Marlin's position player to have a multi

609
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: hit game since gian Carlos Stanton, the guy he was

610
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: traded for in twenty seventeen. So that's an amazing bit

611
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: of trivia right there, getting those hits, drawing a key

612
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: walk on Thursday as well. I mean, but he's just

613
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: generally speaking, he's not ready to be the best version

614
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: of himself. He skipped double A entirely. He was only

615
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: at TRIAA for a couple of weeks in between these

616
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: emergency call up opportunities, one in April and then another

617
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: one now that he needs to get those regular reps

618
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: in the minors to be the best version of himself,

619
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: and maybe by the end of this season he is

620
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: kind of ready to step into a semi regular role

621
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: or just a utility role. But in the meantime, this

622
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: is not really smart handling of him. It's kind of

623
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: by necessity. I would prefer to not have him in

624
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: the majors right now. I'm not sure whether that's an option,

625
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: but at the very least, he shouldn't be expected to

626
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: be a regular in their lineup at the moment against

627
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: this kind of competition that he's not ready for. What's

628
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: worth noting is that when the Marlins designated Sean Morimando

629
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: for assignment, that cleared a spot on their active roster

630
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: and on their forty man roster next week. We're expecting

631
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: Eliez or Hernandez to get back from the injured list,

632
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: but I don't know if they can wait that long

633
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: before filling that spot. In the meantime, you need to

634
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: make sure that you have some semblance of a lineup

635
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: to make up for these losses that they've had and

636
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: someone that but whether it's replacing Devs or just an

637
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: additional position player to put on the roster for these

638
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: next few days. And that's really all you can do.

639
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: You just need to play this like a day at

640
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: a time. You can't really play that far ahead some

641
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: options that they have in Triple A. All these guys

642
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: are not on the forty men roster yet. Devin Morrero,

643
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: who's a Miami native and he's had a couple nice

644
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: moments with Jacksonville so far this year. Luis Marte, you

645
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: remember him from Major league spring training. He's hitting even

646
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: better right now at Triple A, but doesn't have any

647
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: big league experience. He's been in the minors now in

648
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 1: pro ball for about ten years and he plays several positions.

649
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: Bryce and Brigman, who Marlin squired in twenty eighteen. I

650
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: really like his defense and is on base skills in

651
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: the miners, but not a lot of upside there in

652
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: terms of power. Eddie Alvarez is you remember him a

653
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: lot from last year, but the timing just very unfortunate,

654
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: and that he is now focused on training with Team

655
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: USA and building up to the Olympics, trying to qualify

656
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: for the Olympic for him as the great article I

657
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: think from Christina Di Nicola of MLB dot com about

658
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: how important it is for him to head back to

659
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: the Olympics and try to get a medal in a

660
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: second sport after already winning silver for speed skating back

661
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen. It's an awesome story and he considered

662
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: that a higher priority than trying to get back to

663
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: the big leagues. I can't blame him, but it's just

664
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: crazy how this has worked out where he would be

665
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: the obvious guy here to make to get on the

666
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: forty man, select his contract and call him up. In

667
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: this situation, I think Eddie Alpharez would be in Boston

668
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: on Friday and on the roster for as the Marlins

669
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: part time shortsop or utility guy if not for the

670
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: fact that this is coinciding with this wacky delayed Olympic

671
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: year and that Alpharez is training with that team, So

672
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: crazy how that works out. But they have those guys

673
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: that are that are in Triple A and that you

674
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: don't expect a whole lot of. But I think it's

675
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: more appropriate to have somebody like that that you have

676
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 1: less invested in to fill this role, rather than leaning

677
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: so hard on Jose Devers, who you're hoping is going

678
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: to have a nice five six seven year run on

679
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: your roster in like twenty twenty two and beyond like

680
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: for him, there's a lot of potential there, and you

681
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: don't want to risk really screwing things up for him

682
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 1: in any way by forcing him up before he's actually ready.

683
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: Fascinating to see what they'll do there. There are some

684
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: other out of the box options too. Let me see

685
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: if i'll take a second to pull this up about

686
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: guys who are in DFA limbo on other teams who

687
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: are available on the market to be potentially claimed off waivers.

688
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: Because if you're looking ahead a little bit and worried

689
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: about who comes off the forty men roster in place

690
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: of Eliez or Hernandez, you want to be a guy

691
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: that you don't mind acquiring right now and then DFAG

692
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: just a few days later, Like this is kind of

693
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: the situation they're in where they just need somebody to

694
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: plug that gap. Who makes more sense at the moment

695
00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: than Jose Devers does. And I mean out there, I

696
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: saw Jace Peterson, who's been around the majors for a while.

697
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: He was DFA had a few days ago, and I

698
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: was excited about that, And unfortunately the Marlins just missed

699
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: the window on that. He was he cleared waivers and

700
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: stuck around with the Brewers organization. Just looking here in

701
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: recent days of who's out there, it's mostly pitchers. It's

702
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: Jason Adam, It's Shelby Miller, It's josh Linn Bloom, some

703
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: interesting pitching dames. But the Marlins are really good shape

704
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: in that department. As we're about to get into Brett

705
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: Boswell and outfielder with the Rockies, and I think that's

706
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: about it at the moment. Who's right out there on

707
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. You're not gonna pluck somebody like off

708
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: the couch, which in free agency, they're not going to

709
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: be ready to contribute right away. Yeah, as things are

710
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: shaping up right now, Unfortunately there is uh there's really

711
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: no out. There's no infielder in DFA limbo right now,

712
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Maybe that changes later tonight, maybe that

713
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: changes tomorrow. That could happen pretty suddenly. I would expect

714
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: the Marlins to be watching that situation extremely closely, as

715
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: they did last year. I mean, the similarities between this

716
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: and between the COVID outbreak, there's some common ties there.

717
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: Just scrambling to fill this roster in a responsible way

718
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: without making any big long term risks, just to get

719
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,720
Speaker 1: through this patch, but just because you know that this season,

720
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: as down as you feel coming off this particular game,

721
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean, all their goals for the season are still alive.

722
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: They are. It's not the time to wave the white

723
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: flag or by any means. So continuing to look for

724
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: a lot of creativity from this Marlins team in the

725
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: coming days as they try to, yeah, try to keep

726
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: treading water. I hate using that phrase. It's so overused,

727
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: but it's it's appropriate right now, just trying to get

728
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: by for this next patch of the season. We're going

729
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: to finish now on a lighter note. Again, this was

730
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 1: going to be the main focus of the pod before

731
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: the injuries kind of threw us into disarray without the

732
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: Marlins team. I mean, we're coming off yet another day

733
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 1: where they they did what they usually did. I mean,

734
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: for this season, the team as a whole has an

735
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: ERA in the low threes and an ERA three point

736
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: zero on this game today. They are an incredible pitching staff,

737
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: one that I don't think it's any exaggeration to say

738
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: is the best pitching staff this franchise has ever had.

739
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this is year number twenty nine of the

740
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: Marlins franchise, and I don't think you could have ever

741
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: been more thrilled with the talents than you are right now.

742
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: This year. They they've had some good luck when it

743
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: comes to the bullpen staying healthy, having a lot of

744
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: continuity from those options coming out of the pen. But

745
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: you know that they've missed two key cogs to their

746
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: rotation all year in six to zero and in Eliezer Hernandez.

747
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: And yet they've been They've been great. They've been great.

748
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: So I mean, going through some of the numbers, the

749
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: ERA entering Thursday's game was three point three five, and

750
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna stay exactly the same coming off

751
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: this most recent game. It is pretty easily the lowest

752
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: ERA in franchise history. It is a third of a

753
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: run clear of the next best era that they've had

754
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: in a single season, which was twenty thirteen. Some very

755
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: important disclaimers to point out with this year compared to

756
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen is that the ballpark they brought the fences

757
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: in in Miami, I think two separate times. There is

758
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: a three separate times since twenty thirteen. It must be

759
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: three separate times that they brought the ballpark in to

760
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: make it play more neutral, and yet you still have

761
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: this incredible run prevention. What are the keys to this

762
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: Marlins pitching staff? I mean they don't allow hits now. Now,

763
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: some of that is a reflection of this good defense

764
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: that we've seen the team play, but a lot of

765
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: it is guys simply missing more bats than where you

766
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: used to sing. The strikeout rate of this Marlins pitching

767
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: staff is twenty three point six percent. That is going

768
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: to be pretty comfortably a franchise record if they stay

769
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: in that ballpark. You know, strikeouts are up in all

770
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,919
Speaker 1: of baseball this year, but still the fact that they're

771
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: missing bats, it's one of the lowest walk rates that

772
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: we've seen from a pitching staff, just eight percent of

773
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: batters being walked this year, I mean some individual standouts.

774
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 1: Of course, Richard Blier has not walked a batter all season.

775
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: John Curtis has only walked one guy. And so even

776
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 1: when they allow home runs, it is not as hurtful

777
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 1: as usual as you'd usually expect because those runners aren't

778
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: on in the first place. Even if you look at

779
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: just adjusted numbers, when you take into account all the

780
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: silliness this year, that run scoring in baseball is down

781
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 1: for a lot of pretty much for a variety of reasons.

782
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: But even if you adjusted to the rest of the league,

783
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: the Marlins are about ten percent better than a league

784
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: average according to er minus on Fangrafts, and they've never

785
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 1: been that low. I mean, the best is ninety five

786
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: ERA minus during the World Series champion nineteen ninety seven

787
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: season that they were in that position. So this is

788
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: like by a substantial gap. They are doing better at

789
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 1: preventing runs relatives to the league average then ever before,

790
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: the top three in this rotation has been even better

791
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: than advertise. Between Sandy and between Pablo and Trevor, I

792
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 1: mean Trevor most of all. He was the one that

793
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: you wanted to keep your expectations in check this being

794
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: his first full season, and he's been incredible. As I mentioned,

795
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: Sandy and Pablo just this week is the last remind

796
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: you that even when they're not totally on top of

797
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 1: their game in terms of missing bats, that they still

798
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: can be so efficient for you. They give length in

799
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: their games and Sandy. There's a great breakdown from pitcher

800
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: List that came out this week about Sandy's pitch mix

801
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: and how he uses all five of his different pitches

802
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: to navigate lineups, that that's going to help him avoid

803
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: any substantial slumps. He did have that one train wreck

804
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: appearance against the Dodgers on the previous road trip, and

805
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: you look at everything else for the season outside of that,

806
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: he has been incredible. I mean, for every starting pitcher,

807
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,439
Speaker 1: they're going to be going to be those brief blow ups,

808
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: but these guys overall are just extremely system with what

809
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: they do and they can beat you in a variety

810
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: of ways. The bullpen has been great and it's just

811
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: been so deep. I mean, I mentioned that most of

812
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: these guys have been healthy, but as soon as the

813
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: opportunity came up for Anthony Bender, we saw Bender step

814
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: in and he still has a zero point zero era

815
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: nearly a month into his big league career. The kind

816
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,439
Speaker 1: of stuff in this bullpen is is better than most

817
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: other Marlins teams that we've seen in terms of guys

818
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: like Bender and Pop Bender and Zach Pop, who have

819
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: so much velocity and movements on their pitches that you

820
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: get a great combination of swings and misses and called

821
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: strikes from those guys. And they're not even you know,

822
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: at the top of the hierarchy, you know, I mean,

823
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: they're not even give me, give me Garcia and Anthony Bass.

824
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 1: You know, they've had their they had been perfect, those

825
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: two guys, And yet I think you shouldn't take them

826
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 1: for granted either. I mean, this is for a Marlins

827
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: team that historically has had a lot of trouble finding

828
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: you know, steady options at the back end of their bullpen.

829
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: That and all things considered in decent shape in that

830
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: territory this year, I mean, just moving forward, I think

831
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: they can keep it up or through fifty games. It's

832
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: not even a full third of the season yet, but

833
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: they have those reinforcements on the way. They have Elliots

834
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: Er and end As making one final rehab start, presumably

835
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: before rejoining the team at the end of this upcoming

836
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: road trip six. So Sanchez finally this week his first

837
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: bullpen session. We are just awaiting some clarity as to

838
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 1: how that session went. And I mean from there you'll

839
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: be seeing him in live batting practice pretty soon when

840
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: he gets called up. That's going to be a story

841
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: for another episode. I think we will be waiting a

842
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: longer than you would expect to actually see him on

843
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: the major league roster, but he is coming eventually. He

844
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: will be on the majors major league rotation eventually for

845
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: a substantial part portion of the season. I assure you

846
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: that we'll see if Nick Knier comes back from his

847
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: IL stint at some point. And of course, I mean

848
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: shout out to Cody Poteit, who is started his major

849
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: league career on an extremely encouraging note. A huge test

850
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: for Proteit coming up in this Red Sox series, going

851
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: against the toughest competition yet I'm excited to see that.

852
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: So I think this proclamation is you could take it

853
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: more legitimately. If Potit shoves yet again and works deep

854
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: into the game and dominates the Red Sox, I think

855
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: that's when you can really feel confident about this being

856
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: the best Marlins pitching staff we've ever had at one time.

857
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: I think that's I think it's the case because it's

858
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: a combination of stuff and experience and depth that they have,

859
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: the variety of looks that they have. I mean we

860
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: should you should probably mention Ross Dettweiler and Adam Simber.

861
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: Nobody was really wowed by those acquisitions. Those guys have

862
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: kind of lived up to really surpassed probably the expectations

863
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: you had for them getting out of certain situations and

864
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: coming in in a huge variety of situations as well.

865
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: This has been put together brilliantly, this combination of arm

866
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: and there's more on the way. There's if you want

867
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: to get really ambitious, Max Meyer and Jake Eaeder lighting

868
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: it up at double A Pensacola. Are they options for

869
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: the very end of the year. Maybe maybe. I mean

870
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: what they're doing is is fantastic. That's been the strength

871
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: of this team. That's why, even I mean, even if

872
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 1: the bottom falls out during this road trip, even if

873
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: you know it becomes clear at some point in the

874
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: near future that this is not going to be a

875
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 1: contending team, this is going to be a fun team

876
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: to watch. The rest of the way because almost every

877
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: single day. You love the starting option that they have

878
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 1: on the mound, and they just have such a variety

879
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: of guys out of the bullpen that can keep things close.

880
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: That's why this kind of just circles back to that

881
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: run differential conversation that the reason why this team plays

882
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: so many of these close games. They're not winning as

883
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: many as you like, there's always hope. There's always hope

884
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: because of the caliber of arms that they have and

885
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: how these arms are are being managed, how consistent they're

886
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: being as well. Well, it's been even forget us that had,

887
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, high expectations for what these guys could do.

888
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: It's kind of surpassed those expectations. And it's been fun

889
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: to watch. Small pod coming up for you on on

890
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,239

896
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: Just before we're signing out here. We do have some

897
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: clarification from Craigmish that yeah, Migey is indeed going to

898
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: go on the injured list, it looks like and the

899
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: injury is quote concerning, but it will take a further

900
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 1: diagnosis about Miguel Rojas's status before you know, determining next steps.

901
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: So that's unfortunate and it's going to be fascinating to

902
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 1: see how they fill that hole, both in the immediate

903
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,960
