00:00uh marlins they are going to be back in action tonight against the philadelphia phillies they
00:03lost yesterday 72 a couple notes on the fish this is from barry jackson uh the marlins are apparently
00:11going to medically examine chris paddock uh this is what he tweets out after sunday's debacle
00:18marlins plan to evaluate chris paddock from a health standpoint after a drop in velocity yesterday
00:23per source a few things are on the table including an il stint based on whether health issues emerge
00:28uh snelling and garrett are top triple a options if he misses a start mccullough says he will start
00:34friday but only if healthy so there's that and then um the other piece of news is the marlins sent
00:40down
00:41yesterday augustine ramirez and they called up joe mack one of their top prospects catcher and uh
00:49according to christina de nicola joe mack will start tonight and make his major league debut
00:55so that is uh that is the word on the fish tonight in this series finale against the philadelphia
01:02phillies but ramirez yeah just a uh very good at the abs very good at challenging calls but him
01:11just catching in general can be a bit of a roller coaster and the power just way down this year
01:17you
01:17know this guy was supposed to be one of your big thumpers in the lineup joe mack's got a little
01:21bit
01:22of pop i mean he's a guy who's hit 20 plus home runs the last couple of years in the
01:25minors but
01:27ramirez got to figure some things out and obviously with the emergence of liam hicks
01:31who can catch and has been tearing the cover off the ball this first month of the season
01:36they got to get him right you know because he just is uh you don't want ramirez if you're ramirez
01:42you're not good at catching i need you to hit with some some thump in the lineup and so they
01:49got to get
01:50head into jacksonville you figure things out with the jumbo shrimp but like i said with uh with jack
01:56on friday you know i was hopeful the marlins come in this series this uh this homestand you got philly
02:05who was reeling i know they've they've picked things up ever since don mattingly took over who's having
02:10his own little revenge series here against the fish but you got to get the split and then you got
02:14to win
02:14these next two series against baltimore and washington you know i do feel like if you're
02:18the marlins the way you've been getting the pitching going max meyer gives you another good outing
02:24you know losing three out of four to the phillies to start off a series the way they've
02:28been playing that's a tough look so very very big game for the marlins tonight to be in tune with
02:32that
