Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours. Brian Flores wants to push his players to another level and therefore stresses that there is competition at every position. No starting spot is guaranteed and if you work hard enough you will hopefully get that chance to become a starter or perhaps see more playing time. From what we’ve heard from Flores, he obviously wants his players to compete and be disciplined. You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below. Brian Flores: 'Every Position Has Competition'Head Coach Brian Flores addressed the media before the start of OTA practice Tuesday. Here were some comments that stood out, along with some perspective: Brian Flores Habib: 'Poker face'? Smile of Miami Dolphins' Brian Flores speaks volumes when he isn't about to - Sports - The Palm Beach Post - West Palm Beach, FLDAVIE — The reporter was halfway through his question, if that. The inquiry didn’t have a snowball’s chance in Davie in July — that was obvious — but there was no turning back. So as the reporter finished his question, all that remained was to see how Dolphins coach Brian Flores would answer. Dolphins Defensive Line How new Miami Dolphins LB/DE Nate Orchard thinks he can help - Sports - The Palm Beach Post - West Palm Beach, FLDAVIE — What does new Dolphins linebacker/defensive end Nate Orchard think he does well?"I can rush the passer," Orchard said after Tuesday's practice. "I just need an opportunity and I think it’s here with the Dolphins. I’m grateful for it.”Orchard was a second-round pick of the Browns in 2015. But Orchard had five sacks in 34 Cleveland games and no sacks in four games with the Bills and Chiefs last season.Why hasn't it worked out?"That’s a question I ask Andy Cohen: Creativity Could Hold Key To Pass RushWhile the most asked question this offseason by far centers on the competition at quarterback, and justifiably so, the next question I invariably hear regarding the 2019 Miami Dolphins has to do with the defense, specifically the pass rush.

Miami has now won four consecutive baseball games for the first time this season, thanks to Tuesday’s hero Chad Wallach. Paced by five solid innings from lefty Caleb Smith, Harold Ramírez’s first home run as a major league player and Chad Wallach’s key RBI double in the 11th, the Marlins made it four straight wins, knocking off the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night at Comerica Park, 5-4. That makes it four consecutive wins for the first time this season; their recent seven-game losing skid is all but history now. Spencer Turnbull took the mound for the home team and quickly found himself at a deficit. The Marlins manufactured a first-inning run on a Brian Anderson sacrifice fly. Wallach made it 2-0 the following inning with a booming double to right-center field. Coming into Tuesday night, Smith was looking to continue the dominance of the Marlins pitching staff (they had shut out the Mets in each of the previous two contests). He performed well, but not flawlessly, his velocity a tick or two below normal. The scoreless innings streak came to an end on JaCoby Jones’ two-out solo home run in the third, which cut the Marlins lead to 2-1. Your browser does not support HTML5 video. In the fourth, Harold Ramírez made his presence felt, smacking his own opposite-field home run to pad the lead. Your browser does not support HTML5 video. His reaction was priceless.

Turnbull, a former Alabama product, worked five innings, allowing seven hits and three runs on 92 pitches. Smith matched a season low with only five innings himself, limiting Detroit to three hits and two runs on 89 pitches with seven strikeouts. In the ninth, fielding shenanigans nearly cost the Marlins a win. Staked to a 4-2 lead, Sergio Romo was trying to remain perfect this season in save opportunities. However, the Tigers were able to force extra innings on a series of makeable plays. Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Besides Romo’s ninth, Miami relievers contributed clean, crisp innings. Austin Brice, Wei-Yin Chen, Tayron Guerrero and Nick Anderson combined five scoreless frames. Anderson secured the final six outs, punching out five Detroit batters. Wallach’s second run-scoring double of the evening—which would’ve been a homer in most other venues—put the Fish ahead for good. Your browser does not support HTML5 video. The Marlins will look to extend their season-long winning streak to five Wednesday night, as Marlins’ José Ureña and Tigers’ Daniel Norris will do battle. Ureña tossed six nice innings in his last start Wednesday night versus Tampa Bay, but received zero run support in a 1-0 loss. Norris’ previous outing was a rough one, giving up six runs on seven hits in a loss to the Oakland Athletics.

The Heat met with some players who are projected to go later in the first round. The Miami Heat met with some prospects at the NBA Draft Combine last week. And some of them — like Tennessee forward Grant Williams and Purdue point guard Carsen Edwards — are projected to go after the Heat’s 13th pick in the draft. Five players confirmed meetings with the Heat last week: Carsen Edwards, Grant Williams, Bruno Fernando, Naz Reid and Ignas Brazdeikis. Some scouting reports on that group: https://t.co/OlCNIPKlIk pic.twitter.com/5dW3ded5IF— David Wilson (@DBWilson2) May 20, 2019 Does that mean the Heat are thinking of trading their pick and moving downward in the draft? First, let’s start with a couple players Miami met with. The Ringer projects the 6-foot-8 Grant Williams to be drafted with the 17th overall pick, labeling him as a “high-IQ defender,” an “instinctual rebounder who boxes out” and someone who will “take a charge or dive for a loose ball.” Pat Riley may hope he can emerge as the prototypical glue guy for a championship team and provide the toughness that Udonis Haslem brought for so many years — but with a 3-point shot. The Ringer projects Carsen Edwards going 27th. (Of note, the Brooklyn Nets have both the 17 and 27th overall picks — could the Heat trade the 13th pick for the 17th and 27th ones?) He is barely 6 feet tall, something that could make him a liability on defense. In an ideal world, he would become an instant offense guard off the bench with his shooting ability. But in a not-ideal world? The Ringer actually compares Edwards to Shabazz Napier, whom Miami traded up in the 2014 NBA Draft to get. But Napier disappointed in his rookie season with the Heat, and Miami traded him after just one year. Are Heat executives dissatisfied with the players in their range? Of course, Miami could simply be doing their due diligence, meeting with various players to see how players’ stock will rise and fall until draft night. The Heat don’t have a second-round pick in this June’s draft; Riley may want to see if he can trade into the second round for a player he likes. He did that for Mario Chalmers in 2008. We never know who pans out in the NBA Draft — at least after the first few picks. Draymond Green was taken with the 35th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. The Heat had the 27th pick that year, coming off an NBA championship. Miami even brought in Green for a workout. (Side note: Imagine if Riley had kept Patrick Beverley, whom he traded for during the 2011 NBA Draft, and drafted Green in 2012. Would LeBron James still be a member of the Heat?) Pascal Siakam was the 27th pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, when Miami didn’t even have a first-round pick. So if the Heat want to trade down? Fine by me. I just hope the players the Heat get pan out.
