Hello, how are you fans? It's a pleasure to greet you once again from the field in this opportunity of Lone Depot Park
00:05
in what the series is doing between the Phillies of Philadelphia and the Marlins of Miami is doing.
00:10
I am Mari Carmen Fariña and enjoy with me this edition from the field.
00:15
From the field is presented by Spitz Dick, show your passion, not sweat.
00:23
Hang on, your smile is powerful. Hang on, 80 years in Venezuela, taking care of your smile.
00:33
Football fans, I am very happy to have for Baseball Play the Venezuelan pitcher of the Phillies of Philadelphia,
00:39
Ranger Suarez. Welcome, how are you? And above all, how do you feel to face what is left of the season?
00:46
No, look, very well. I feel very well physically. I think that what is left is little.
00:54
You have to finish strong for the next goal.
00:59
Ranger, you have become a fundamental piece for your organization within such an interesting rotation
01:06
and weight as that of the Phillies, so your absence, due to the injury you suffered at the end of July,
01:13
how did you feel? How is that process to deal with that type of situation and your recovery?
01:20
Because I imagine that you must feel some anxiety to return.
01:24
Yes, yes, but I take it calmly. Obviously, we are human beings,
01:30
sometimes we are going to have injuries, but the most important thing is to work to get out of them as soon as possible
01:37
and return to the field for that we are here.
01:40
How was that process to recover?
01:42
No, look, it was hard because obviously you don't want to get injured, you don't want to lose your way,
01:48
but the support, the support that the team has had, the fans have always supported me in all that,
01:56
and I think that helped me get out of the injury I had faster.
01:59
Of course, the mental part is essential, right?
02:04
In your return, how do you work that when it comes to getting on the pitch?
02:11
Yes, I think I take it calmly. I go out when I'm going to throw, I go out to enjoy the game.
02:19
I know it's a job, but at the end of the day it's a game.
02:26
And the more we can have fun, I don't think it's going to get better.
02:30
And what is your work plan every time you have to make a commitment?
02:36
Every time I'm going to throw, I watch videos of how to face each hitter and execute it.
02:44
I think that's the biggest plan I have that day, is to execute my pitches, my secondary pitches,
02:53
which have helped me a lot to get a great ball and help to have that game as closed as possible
03:02
so that the team can make a career and win the game.
03:08
Randy Suarez has become an important piece in a rotation as interesting as that of the Philadelphia Phillies,
03:14
so he is happy to be back in action and we only see it with his big smile.
03:18
Hang on, 80 years in Venezuela, taking care of your smile.
03:26
The Phillies have been quite constant for two seasons,
03:34
an organization of weight during the season and, as they have said, present in postseason.
03:40
And these are already with a foot and a half, they are a little short to be in October.
03:46
What do you think are the keys to this team, the strengths?
03:52
Yes, I think that the camaraderie that we have in the clubhouse,
03:58
I think that is something fundamental that we have raised in recent years.
04:05
I think it has gone very well, we always support each other and that helps us to perform in the game.
04:14
If you had the option to bring any player to your team, who would you choose and why?
04:19
Seeing also, maybe you tell me Mari, we should reinforce ourselves here.
04:24
Well, obviously you want to have Luis Harras on your team.
04:28
You understand?
04:29
Exactly.
04:30
You want to have a hitter who hits you 310, 320 every year,
04:35
obviously you want to have him, a pitcher, I can tell you.
04:45
Well, you're adding one, I asked you for one.
04:48
Oh well.
04:49
Are you adding another one?
04:51
If you want to give another one, that's fine.
04:53
Ok, Ranger, thank you.
04:55
Did you see that it was easy?
04:56
Of course.
04:57
Your message to all the fans, Ranger.
04:59
Keep supporting us, here we are, all Venezuelans, to give 100% for our country, for Venezuela.
05:09
Keep supporting us, we will give another 100% for them.
05:13
Thank you very much.
05:14
May the health, success and blessings continue to accompany you.
05:17
Ranger Suarez for Baseball Play.
05:22
Baseball Play fans, we are very pleased to have Edmundo Sosa,
05:27
Panamanian infielder for Philadelphia Phillies.
05:30
Edmundo, welcome, thank you for sharing with us.
05:32
Hello, how are you?
05:33
I am very grateful to be able to express a little of my team and my career through this medium.
05:42
Edmundo, precisely because you were born in Panama,
05:46
what does it mean to you to be one of the few representatives of your country in the best baseball in the world?
05:53
Well, for me it is a privilege, obviously, to be here,
05:57
having the opportunity to play the baseball that I love,
06:01
that I learned to play from a very young age.
06:03
The truth is that I am happy, happy to be here,
06:08
to be one of those few Panamanians to be here in the best baseball in the world,
06:13
which is the great league.
06:14
The truth is that I thank God for all the things that happen in my career.
06:18
Edmundo, I am very curious to know why you chose baseball as a career.
06:24
Well, why did I choose baseball as a career?
06:26
Well, I come from a family of baseball.
06:29
In Panama, like my father, who in peace and rest was a small league referee in Panama.
06:34
My brother, who in peace and rest also played baseball.
06:38
He was my older brother, and that's where the passion comes from.
06:41
Obviously, my mother played softball.
06:44
She was a shortstop, just like me.
06:46
She taught me a few things.
06:48
I am the youngest child in the family.
06:50
I grew up in a family of baseball.
06:53
Since I was a child, I have been watching the field.
06:56
Near my house in Panama, I have a field where the beginnings of Mundo Sosa began,
07:01
which is called Los Caimanes de Juan Díaz.
07:03
And well, here, thank God, I am here today representing my neighborhood,
07:07
my country, in the best way.
07:09
Edmundo, precisely because of your versatility,
07:12
the manager has used you as a shortstop, waiter and third base.
07:17
How is the preparation when it comes to being in those different positions and the differences?
07:25
Of course, it is a fairly difficult role, because I have to be prepared every day.
07:32
I have to come to the game training, prepare myself as if I were playing every day,
07:36
because one does not know what can happen at the moment.
07:39
Obviously, one does not expect the injuries of the teammates, of the starters,
07:44
but, well, injuries always happen.
07:47
It is a very long season where a lot of sacrifices are made.
07:50
This year, the manager used me in the second base,
07:52
in the shortfield when we had a three-turner outside.
07:55
I have been playing in the third base in the same way,
07:57
and I think I have prepared myself mentally and physically for this role.
08:02
I have been working on it for three years, more or less, four years.
08:06
In my last year in the Cardinals, I had that role,
08:09
here I have had that role, and I take care of it in the best way, and I prepare myself for that.
08:17
The Panamanian Edmundo Sosa received the Hard & Hustle award,
08:21
a distinction awarded to players who show passion for the game.
08:25
You know, show your passion and not sweat with Speedsteak.
08:31
And in an organization, Leofilis,
08:33
which in the last two years has had a lot of prominence,
08:36
and this is doing it with one of the best records of the season,
08:42
as the Dodgers also have it.
08:44
What are those keys when there is very little left to finish the regular season,
08:50
and you are there, confident in the postseason?
08:53
Of course, I arrived at this organization in 2022,
08:57
and since I arrived here, I have learned a lot,
09:00
I have improved my performance a lot,
09:03
I have learned from the guys,
09:05
we have a lot of stars there in the club to see their work ethics more than anything else.
09:10
And well, a very good organization, a fantastic management.
09:14
The truth is that I am here in my third year,
09:17
we have reached the playoffs, in 2022 we reached the World Series,
09:21
where we could not win,
09:23
we had that aggressive feeling,
09:26
but we came back in 2023,
09:28
we continued in the battle,
09:30
we could not, we were against Arizona,
09:32
and this year, as you say, we continue in the fight.
09:35
A very good group,
09:37
the truth is that new people who arrived in the change in August,
09:41
who have joined the group, great,
09:43
like Esteves, Banks,
09:45
the truth is that Austin Hayes,
09:47
who is in rehab,
09:49
we put him in prayer,
09:51
that his health is good.
09:53
And well, the team is staying strong,
09:56
prepared, finishing strong in the last half of the season,
10:00
to prepare for the playoffs first,
10:03
and to be able to stay between the two first,
10:06
to go straight and wait for who comes to face him,
10:10
and do the best of us,
10:12
which is to play baseball,
10:15
and give that joy to the city of Philadelphia,
10:18
which longs so much.
10:20
You have already equalized your personal boat of remarks with 30,
10:24
are you ready to overcome this 2024?
10:27
Of course, the truth is that one works very hard
10:30
in the dead season for that kind of thing,
10:33
thanks to God I have 30 races pushed,
10:36
with great desire to be able to connect those 31 as soon as possible,
10:40
obviously to help the team,
10:42
to win some games,
10:44
and improve my personal brand,
10:46
which is an achievement for me and for my career,
10:49
the truth is that I think it will come at some point,
10:52
when I least expect it,
10:54
and it will be well received with open hands,
10:56
with the favor of God.
10:58
And the honrons?
11:00
You have 7 and your top is 10.
11:02
Of course, yes, yes,
11:04
last year I was able to connect 10 honrons,
11:07
this year I was working to be able to connect the ball,
11:10
to be in time,
11:12
to take advantage of the opportunities that Almana and Rob Thompson give me,
11:14
and the truth is that I have 7,
11:16
the number 10 is not so far,
11:18
I am not focused on that,
11:20
just go out to the newspaper,
11:22
play, enjoy the game,
11:24
and things will come out as things go little by little.
11:27
Well, thank you very much Edmundo,
11:29
your final words for all the fans?
11:31
Of course, I want to send a greeting to all those fans from Philadelphia,
11:34
especially to all my family in Panama,
11:37
to the Panamanian fans who follow my career,
11:39
who are always there leaving their message of encouragement
11:42
so that I continue to give 100%
11:44
and represent it in a great way and leave it high.
11:47
Greetings to all,
11:49
to all those children who are at home also watching us,
11:51
keep working,
11:53
pursue your dreams,
11:56
and do not allow anyone to tell you that you cannot achieve anything in this life,
11:59
as long as we have life and health,
12:01
we can achieve great things.
12:02
Many blessings to all.
12:05
Well, fans,
12:07
it's time to say goodbye from the field,
12:09
thank you as always for all your comments
12:12
and be faithful to each of our publications.
12:14
I am Mari Carmen Fariña
12:16
and see you very soon again from here,
12:18
from the field.
12:19
From the field,
12:20
it was presented by
12:22
SpicStick,
12:23
show your passion,
12:24
not sweat.
12:25
Hang on,
12:26
your smile is powerful.
12:28
Hang on,
12:29
80 years in Venezuela,
12:31
