Max Meyer

So...

I'm begging the Marlins to hold on to Sandy Alcantara, to hold on to Otto Lopez, to hold on to Max Meyer, Xavier Edwards, Kyle Stowers, Araberto Hernandez, Javier Sanoja, and let's build this thing up.

Add some guys into this thing.

Obviously, you're not going to be able to keep everyone from one year to another, but try to keep the core here together and give these fans something to grasp onto.

In this particular series, I really cannot off the top of my head remember that many times where they've had three straight guys that poor enough to put them out of the game and you know to the Marlins credit they kept all those games kind of close despite that starting pitching just sticking up the joint

yeah I mean it's not very often that you see 31 runs scored against a pitching staff in one series and you're sort of getting away with it with really having two legitimate starting pitchers in the rotation between sandy and yuri you know they were just really praying and hoping with the rest of them giving the interview to max meyer giving the chris paddocks dfa and no real options other than you know robbie stelling who unfortunately also underwent elbow surgery so they were really just patching this together and they were getting away with it for the most part and even when those guys were pitching well they wouldn't let them go deep into games and it was working for the most part Until they sort of everything, all the luck sort of hit a wall here towards late August, early September, where unfortunately it's getting to the bullpen.

It's getting to the starting pitchers.

It's getting to Sandy even.

And it's been one of the worst bullpens in baseball during that stretch of time.

anyway yeah

and and i think it's we got to add max meyer making one start following the all-star game and just going on the aisle with the next one and never coming back he has resumed throwing but obviously it's much too late for him to make any sort of return especially with the team seemingly heading for the exit and then another name i'll throw out leo jimenez was on the scene for a very long time and i think you could put some of the blame on that their second half struggle to him because he got a lot of playing time in the month of july in the month of august irrationally so.

He was playing almost every single day at third base and really hurting the team both defensively, offensively.

They have three – You know, grade A, grade B starters that I can trust on any given day that can go up against anyone in the league that I trust to go out there and give me at the very least a quality start.

Those three guys being Sandy Alcantara, Uri Perez, and Max Meyer.

So I'll go down the list here.

We'll start with Sandy.

There's no denying Uri has the stuff.

We just need to see it a little bit more consistently.

But going into a season when you have Sandy Alcantara and Max Meyer next to you, I very much trust and believe in Uri Perez heading into next year, which brings me to Max.

Easily the best results of the three pitchers this season, believe it or not.

Marlins Radio Network.

This is Max Meyer, and you're listening to the 10th Inning Show with Jack McMullen on the Marlins Radio Network.

All right, highlights tonight.

How did this ballgame sound between the Marlins and Mets? Again, the Marlins fall to the New York Mets, 7-5 the final score.

So I think all three of those guys need to be a 2027 staple on Dodgers roster.

And then I'll add one, too, just because I can't be shown up, and that is Max Meyer.

Max Meyer was great.

Max Meyer, although he wasn't as kind of electric as Gavin Williams was, Max Meyer was a really, really solid piece that contributed to Dodger leading the league in quality starts for the year, I think.

yeah the last stat you just mentioned is was kind of wild that dodger how many quality starts that dodger got this year

yeah it was those guys right it was meyer yamamoto it was gavin williams i mean sandy was a staple in that too so he had all those guys like and and i i we say we've said it over and over and i think this year uh you know more certainly especially with the the run at the end was it's like the the team's core is good it's just you know a little bit of unluck and a and a couple extra pieces in the offseason, and I think he'd be right back in the mix, but in a healthier spot in that mix.

You're going to get to see Perez, Alcantara.

And then Jansen Junk, Max Mayer on the injured list.

This Marlins team, we all know how scrappy they can continue to be.

They always give us fits.
