Marlins vs. Pittsburgh: Key Series Matchups & Analysis

I think this is a big series for your Marlins coming up against the Pittsburgh Craig was that starts tomorrow there Do we know what the rotations are yet for these games? So I'll I will I will miss you the next couple days here So to I'll be on the pre and post game tomorrow from the Marlins pregame show and post Tomorrow night is the game of the series for sure Because I mean assuming that Paul Skeens is like halfway decent Joe. I don't know anymore, but it Paul Skeens and Yuri Perez I mean, that's that's that's a hell of a matchup for tomorrow night I'm not sure of the rest. I think there's some TBD's I think for Pittsburgh. I think maybe is it Ashcraft Wednesday or Harmon Majinski, I think that he is part of this little rotation and then Jansen junk pitches from Miami with Phillips after that so that'll be the three-game series and then the interesting part of this too is Miami will need a cost hours replacement So we'll find out who that will be and also a very rare this time of the season Tuesday night Wednesday I call it morning when you start before one Showdown here. So I don't know I might or I'm sorry Tuesday Wednesday Thursday. So a Wednesday night game and then Thursday early game I don't know if I'm on the air Thursday I have to look at the schedule with you on Thursday and not positive about that because I know it's it's tough for me to Get from I don't need to tell you Joe to get from there to here Thursday after a game is not easy to do on I-95. It is not easy. So yeah, so, uh, look for Miami They're a game over 500. So if they win two out of three, it's like perfect But if Pittsburgh loses two out of three Joe their percent down to like 5% to make the playoffs So it's not more it's kind of crazy in August to say that it's more important for Pittsburgh to win the series But it kind of is it kind of is like I think Pittsburgh now has to roll off two or three series wins I hope they don't do it But I could see them pushing forward a little bit in this one because this is a team they're chasing for the wild card Why and you betcha and we document it. I mean skeins has not been the skeins Here that we thought we might get over his past 15 starts. He's got over a 5 era Which is kind of shocking when you consider it a little bit of a velocity dip to Craig I mean he was throwing 98 98.5 miles an hour now, he's down to about 96 which may not seem like a lot But when you start dropping a mile and a half like that there either we're talking a very tired situation here or Mechanically or something else is going on because there's no good reason for him to be losing velocity and be as Bad as he has been here over the last 15 Yeah, I don't get it. I don't know what's going on I'm not the I'm not a good enough expert at this to be able to tell you and the other part about this Joe Specifically as it pertains to skeins if you've noticed no one has the answer on what is going on with my schemes It's not like you're reading anything or seeing anything on TV of saying well This is the reason no one seems to know the reason is velo is pretty much still where it has been So it's got to be something mechanical and that's why the pressure is on The coaching staff and the front office in Pittsburgh right now Joe You can't have Paul Skeeter a season with an era of five. You got to get this right in the next couple months Well, I like your mother's ID. You got to is Sandy pitching in this series at all. All right, cuz you've got your tomorrow. I Don't think so Maybe unless they change something up. It doesn't seem like it. No, I don't think so It seems like it's gonna be Phillips and junk I think those will be the next two after Yuri Perez, but the matchup tomorrow night is one of the best I think on television be huge. You're you're up for resin schemes. Yeah, it's a good one
