From 2019-2021, Miguel Rojas was as valuable as any position player on the Miami Marlins. Over these next few weeks, the Marlins need their captain to get back to performing at that level.

On this episode, Ely revisits the series against the Brewers and the festivities commemorating the silver anniversary of the 1997 Marlins World Series championship team (3:20), then focuses on how Rojas' role is expanding in the absence of Joey Wendle (14:30) and what the Jesús Luzardo injury means for Cody Poteet (24:30).

Fish Prospects of the Week (May 9-15): Pat Monteverde (High-A Beloit) and Ian Lewis (Low-A Jupiter); honorable mentions to Zach McCambley and Jerar Encarnación (Double-A Pensacola).
