1 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome everyone to this edition of Big Fish 2 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: Small Pod four Tuesday, May twenty fourth, two thousand twenty two. 3 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: And if you aren't into the Small Pod, he would 4 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: like to give you all the information about the Marlins 5 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: for that particular day all season long and Marlins fans, 6 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: Yesterday was an off day as Miami is getting prepared 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: to face the Tampa Bay Rays and we will be 8 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: a very quick two game series against inner state rival 9 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: and what should be a but also a very good 10 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: series Marlins fans. That Marlins are coming off a win 11 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: against the Brave and by amean win, I just mean 12 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: they had one win against the Braves and and that 13 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: was on Sunday in a four to three victory. So 14 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: one run game came into our favor. But to preview 15 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: a little bit of this game, the first pitching matchup 16 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: should be one of the best almost the whole year 17 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: for Miami, as will be Pablo Lopez going up against 18 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: Shane McClanahan, who is having one of the best seasons 19 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: for the Rays and the al this entire year. He's 20 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: three and two, forty six innings, two three three ERA 21 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: in a point eighty six whip and which really stands 22 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: out is strikeout to walk ratio sixty five strikeouts to 23 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: ten walks. In comparison, Pablo has forty eight strikeouts to 24 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: eleven walks, So Shan McClanahan has been more efficient when 25 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: it comes to strikeouts and pretty much the same when 26 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: it comes to walks. For Apablo, He's four and one 27 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: forty six innings pitched one five to seven ERA in 28 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: the zero point nine to one Whip and it should 29 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: be a very fascinating matchup for the Rays. They have 30 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: gone through their fair share of injuries so far this season, 31 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: but they are still the Rays. They're still one of 32 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: the best teams in the AL, and especially in a 33 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: very strong, that top heavy AL East Division. They got 34 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: led by Randy and Race Arena. They are also led 35 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: by Wander Franco, who is also having one of the 36 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: better years this year after two sixty one seven O 37 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: two ops, four home runs and a really just top 38 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: to bottom team. Obviously the the hitting power home runs 39 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: of Mike Zanino, Marlin's legend had Ramires. They have a 40 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: lot of great young talent. Like I said, Wander, they 41 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: also have Taylor Walls. They also have Brandon Loue a 42 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: lot of really great talent on that race stat on 43 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: that race roster and their pitching staff is also really 44 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: good as well. Sea mcclanahead. They have former signing and 45 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: one winner Corey Klueber, Ju Raussman JP Fireson, who has 46 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: become one of the best relievers in baseball. Twenty innings 47 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: pitch has yet to allowed an earned run, which is 48 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: really incredible to see, especially the way Baseball's have been 49 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: almost seeing this year. Really surprised just how great JP 50 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: has been for the Rays and from Miami. They are 51 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: coming off as I said, uh, a s series loss 52 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: not the best way to go about it. And also 53 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: coming into this game in Saint Pete against the Rays 54 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: probably will start today and also a TBD for Wednesday. 55 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: As of recording, was supposed to be Trayvon Rodgers spot, 56 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: but he'll probably go off and play that Friday game 57 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: against the Atlanta Braves as they will travel to in Atlanta. 58 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: But it's really surprising. Could it be probably most likely 59 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: a bullpen game, as maybe Cody Potite will get the 60 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: fast share of innings, but he is coming off multi 61 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: inning performance just a few days ago against Atlanta, so 62 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: it'll be good to see what Don manningly has to 63 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: do in that for that game. Couldy Potite potentially starting 64 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: opening for the Mormons? Could it be Martin's going in 65 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: just really bullpen heavy when they want to give Cody 66 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: Potit that many innings. Richard Blyers due to come back 67 00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: very soon. He's on a rehab assignment, and it's always, 68 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: you know, good to see what Miami is going to 69 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: do these players, especially on that part. But also to 70 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: be said, a really I think one of the bigger 71 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: things to look at just the pitching rotation Miami has 72 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: had so far this year, and really the bullpen, cause 73 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: Miami's bullpen has it's really the definition of up and down. 74 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: Sometimes they're really great, sometimes we're not the best. I 75 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: believe they're at their best. And maybe Anthony Bass's pitching, 76 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: cause he's had really great year so far. One six 77 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: two era A web A zero point eighty four. Really 78 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: great to see from Anthony Bass. And also really I 79 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: would also go with Lewis Head is surprisingly having a 80 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: very underrated year. Everyone else has really just hit or 81 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: miss uh Hanner Scott with the area before. Anthony Bender 82 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: has not been good on all of this year. We 83 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: try that about the closer role. Yes, he does have 84 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: a good one saves, but you guys have blown staves 85 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: and just net overall looking like Anthony Bender should be 86 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: that in that globure role. I think Anthony Bath should 87 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: get a fair shot of it. Give him a couple 88 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: of chances. I think he really has deserved that spot 89 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: for Miami. Another guy will probably be Steven Oker. He's 90 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: gone to sub positions, high leverage. I believe there was 91 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: one time but the bases were loaded and he got 92 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: I think it was Nelson Cruz out, which was really 93 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: big from Miami in that National Series era have only 94 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: two three one. Really great to see from Steven Oker 95 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: and overall from Miami. I would love to see more 96 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: of an impact from some hitters. Probably the main one 97 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: to be Sue Sanchez. Since that home run, his sanchers 98 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: has really been an up and down, has not really 99 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: been the player that fans wanted to see from him. 100 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: Hasn't really been that impactful. Yeah, even since that home run, 101 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 1: he has up and down two hits, a couple hits, 102 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: but overall not really what people want to see. Hey, 103 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: sus Sanchez, but I believe he'll get out of it. 104 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: This little rod and he'll go on a really great 105 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: tear for the rest of the year. And for some 106 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: other guy, his joy Wento is is due to come 107 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: back anytime now. Same thing with John BIRDI great to 108 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: see those guys come back out, so Lion, we can 109 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,239 Speaker 1: have a little depth on your bench. There is sometimes 110 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: their bench is a little weak, especially that time when 111 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: he let me pass how to be a pitch runner. 112 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: But overall, for this series with the Tampa Bay Rays, 113 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: I'm really excited to see it up. We will have 114 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: fish Strips live later out uh today around five thirty, 115 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: So come out, come watch that Marviins will take on 116 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays.

Also going down to the farm, maybe what's 119 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,799 Speaker 1: going around with Trevor Rogers your area of but five 120 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: two and five record, I don't know if you want 121 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: to put him against the Tampa bay Rays. Maybe more 122 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: for familiar opponent with the Braids coming up, But that 123 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: doesn't mean just a very quick pod. It wasn't off day, 124 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: so we are getting ready to look at that Tampa 125 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: Bay Ray series.
