00:00The Marlins very much in the wild card hunt, taking on Cincinnati.
00:05Burns going for Cincinnati.
00:07Sandy Alcantara for Miami.
00:09Now, they didn't hold him back again, right?
00:13Like, could he have gone on Wednesday or yesterday, but they opted to hold him back?
00:19Or is this just a normal rest spot for him here, Craig?
00:24For Sandy Wynn, I'm confused.
00:27Yeah, is he on sex days?
00:28Or how many days?
00:29Yeah, no, he's normal resting.
00:31Okay, so it's nothing crazy.
00:33Yeah.
00:33No, no, he's a normal rest.
00:35The only question will be is will he pitch for the quick turnaround next Wednesday in Philadelphia?
00:41That's the only question, as if they'll roll right through or not.
00:45No, he's, look, lately he's been one of the best pitchers in baseball, maybe even better lately than Chase Burns
00:52has been too.
00:53So, look, there's, I, you know, honestly, everyone knows that I don't get involved with the betting with the Marlins,
00:58but you cannot expect a lot of runs in this game tonight, Joe.
01:01Like, I, that's what I'm thinking.
01:03Now, you, you know, you mentioned that Burns, I didn't know this.
01:06I don't prep as much naturally for a game when I'm not on it during the broadcast, but you mentioned
01:11Burns hasn't been as good lately.
01:12Is he already still, like, minuscule, though?
01:16It's no, it's been good, but, you know, it's not, he's not what he was.
01:19So, we're starting to see, once a guy starts losing control a little bit, you know how that goes.
01:24The walks start to come up.
01:26The barrels start to become part of it.
01:30And he's being priced like he's a legit ace, but, you know, six hits, five and a third, I think,
01:38against the National the last time out.
01:40But he walked three.
01:41He struck out.
01:42He's walked at least, it looks like, two batters or more in six straight starts.
01:48So, and the last time I think was Phillies before the break, he also walked six guys.
01:54So, another one of the situations where Velocity is down, he was up around 97 before the break.
02:01Now, all of a sudden, he's down a little bit slower, and it's that classic, and now you got Hunter
02:08Green, who's going to be gone now for a second.
02:11You know, Tommy Johnson, you know, they had to use six relievers yesterday in that ridiculous game against the White
02:20Sox.
02:20All their back-end guys have been used, so call me crazy.
02:25I'm with you.
02:25I don't expect a ton of runs, but not a great bullpen, and I think Burns is just overpriced here
02:31at this point for what we're getting for him.
