1 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: Fish Um Filtered Episode fifty five. We are back. It's 2 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: been a very long time, but Kevin Barraw here with 3 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: Eli Sussman, Isaacazouit and we're doing the third annual Bold 4 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: Predictions episode. We do this pretty close to the season. 5 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: We're doing it, I think a little earlier than usual, 6 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: but still a couple of weeks to go to Spring training. Guys, 7 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: what's up? A couple of weeks now into spring training, 8 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: we're in the full go of it, and we got 9 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: some Bold Predictions to make today, folks. 10 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: I feel better about mine than I have either of 11 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 2: the previous two times that we've done it. I've not 12 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: fared well people. They should not look at the history. 13 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna remind people exactly what we've picked in 14 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: the past. But yeah, I think I've done my recent 15 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 2: search on this. I've got a really good feel and 16 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 2: I think most importantly, I think I got entertaining ones. 17 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: This is about entertainment. So I hope you guys find 18 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: at least mine. I can only speak for myself. We 19 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 2: haven't shared ours ahead of time. I hope people find 20 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: mine to be provocative and enjoyable. 21 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: Isaac, you struggled at this. I think last year when 22 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: the year and I think you said Edwar Cabero would 23 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: be an All star, he said, well, Banfield would be 24 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: a major leaguer. 25 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 3: So yeah, might have been one year early with Banfields. 26 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 3: I was a little bit too bold last year. I 27 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 3: believe I had Hayesu Sanchez hitting forty home runs and 28 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: I had a couple other ones that were just very bad. 29 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 3: So too bold. I still want to remain bold with 30 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 3: these five, but maybe just a tad more realistic. 31 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: And as always, make sure to like and subscribe on YouTube, 32 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: make sure it goes to five star rating wherever you're 33 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: watching this pod or listening to this podcast, and make 34 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: sure to go to fish on first dot com, where 35 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: our predictions will probably be on the website whenever this drops, 36 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: and that is where you can get all your Marlin's contents. 37 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: So we're gonna go with Eli first, Isaac second, and 38 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: I'll go last. So Eli, I think get us gone, 39 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: And as you know, I think after each prediction, just 40 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: a quick spiel as to why he made that prediction. 41 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: Okay, oh boy, I will go this one thing. I 42 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 2: won't say negative, but I guess Luisa Rise he is 43 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: the two time defending Batten Champion, but only a speaking 44 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: on the day where his MLB the Show rating came out. 45 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: It's a lot lower than people may have expected here, 46 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: and I think there's some good reason for that, because 47 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: for all he accomplished last year, there's still some questions 48 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 2: about his durability. There's still even when you dive into 49 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 2: the numbers, maybe there's some luck on his side, especially 50 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: last year. So mine is going to be that forget 51 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 2: about him being one of the best hitters in the league. 52 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 2: We're gonna best hitter on the Marlins. I have him 53 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: as not even being the hits leader on this team. 54 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 2: I think that somebody else besides Luis Arrise is going 55 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: to lead the Marlins and Bass hits this year. As 56 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: a reminder, last year he had two hundred and three 57 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: of those. Was who was even second in that conversation 58 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: maybe Brian del la Cruz at one forty nine, So 59 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: it was fifty four more than any of his teammates. 60 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 2: There are only a couple other guys that even had 61 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 2: half as many. But because of the potential for lower 62 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: body injuries, in particular the possibility of a trade during 63 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: the season, he only has two years of club control 64 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: left are they going to wait until his final year 65 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: if no extension comes to fruition and if the team 66 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: is not in contention this year. So I don't have 67 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: like a clear idea of who is going to be, 68 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: but I would say that to the average person, they 69 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 2: would say, that's a lock that arives at least on 70 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: this team. He's going to be the hits leader. And 71 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: I'm going to leave the door open for DLC, a 72 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: crazy Tim Anderson revival, maybe Josh Bell, Jake Berger one 73 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: of them, but I'm going to take the field over 74 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: Louis Rise when it comes to the Marlins hits leader. 75 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: And this is my least bold prediction. It's gonna get 76 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 2: spicier from here. 77 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 3: Alright, Just Eli, what do you think Vegas would have 78 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 3: the line at that Louis Louis Rise leads the Marlins 79 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 3: and hits in twenty twenty four. It's got to be 80 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: at least negative minus seven hundred, No. 81 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: Not that high, maybe maybe minus four hundred. He'd be 82 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 2: extremely heavy favorite. But those are those disclaimers that go 83 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: in there. For as as he is, he is a 84 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: really high floor player, there are things that could happen 85 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: that either limit his playing time or move his playing 86 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: time to a different team, and I think that is right. 87 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: That would be counted four. 88 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 3: Yeah right, you're you're really banking on one of those 89 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 3: two things that happen. But but that said, I think 90 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 3: that was incredibly bold in my in my opinion, I'm 91 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 3: going to go with I have two spicy ones. I'm 92 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 3: gonna go with kind of a fun one. I think 93 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 3: the Marlins. The Marlins in twenty twenty three, they had 94 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 3: one player eclipse a twenty home run total. That was 95 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 3: Jorge Solaire. I have the Marlins having five different players 96 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 3: eclipse twenty home runs. 97 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna it can be any five, but obviously 98 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 4: the five that would stand out Jazz Chisholm Junior he 99 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 4: had nineteen last year, Josh Bell, Brian de la Cruz, Hey, 100 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 4: Sue Sanchez, and one more player will reach twenty home runs. 101 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 3: In my humble opinion, it could be Jake Berger, maybe 102 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: it could be Tim Anderson, can be but it'll those 103 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 3: five players I think that will we'll reach twenty home 104 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 3: runs and that would be a pretty special mark. Like 105 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 3: I said, only one Marlin did that. 106 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: Last year. 107 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 3: They did have a couple who hit nineteen and that 108 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: was Jazz and Brian de la Cruz Brian Delacruz. I 109 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 3: think will hit twenty. He played in basically every single 110 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 3: game last year, six hundred and twenty six played appearances. 111 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 3: Jazz only played in ninety seven games, so he's probably 112 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 3: a lock to hit twenty if he just plays. So 113 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 3: five players twenty home runs at least each. 114 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: All right, so now is not the greatest time to 115 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: promote this guy, but I'm gonna go with a Tanner 116 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,799 Speaker 1: Scott prediction here. The last the most saves a player 117 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: has had in a single season was in two thousand 118 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: and four with forty seven, and that was Rmando Benita's 119 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: I think Tanner Scott will break that record and he 120 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: will go for fifty saves in twenty twenty four. And 121 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: that's hoping they're really good. But he he's shown that 122 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: he could do it. He had twenty in twenty twenty two, 123 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: didn't start off as a closer in twenty twenty three, 124 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: but I think this is his year. Skip already said it. 125 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: Tanner Scott's gonna break the single the Miami Marlins single 126 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: season record for most saves in a single season, So 127 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: we'll see. Yeah, it's I don't know how bold that is, 128 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: but it should be very bold, and it is. It is, 129 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: and open the last ones too. I wrote down. I 130 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: wrote down a couple of cases. Guys, we get some 131 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: that I had, but it's bold. 132 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: And it's like the complete opposite direction that I would go. 133 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: I don't have a Tanner Scott take on this one, 134 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: but I would go in the other direction, just because 135 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: we talked about this on the previous live stream about 136 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: how you just he said an inconsistent career and last 137 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 2: year was kind of the outlier in that you it'd 138 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 2: be amazing for him and the Marlins if it was 139 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: the start of him reaching his peak, and it'd also 140 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: be it'd be amazing for him in free agency next 141 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: year if he's coming off a fifty save season in 142 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 2: addition to his previous year, he'd be Yeah, he'd be 143 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: a very wealthy man if he does it. I think 144 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 2: it's possible, but I just I just don't trust the 145 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: control with him. So this is gonna be a negative one. 146 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: This is can be one negative one. Braxton Garrett had 147 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: a breakout of sorts last year, his first full season 148 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 2: in the rotation, and he lasted the full season. He 149 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: started a playoff game, and. 150 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: It was. 151 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: He showed off such a deep pitch mix. He showed 152 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: off really sharp control. I know our colleague Lewis Addio 153 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: wise loved to dig up the stats about how low 154 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 2: his walk rate was and how unique that was commined 155 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 2: with everything else and overall he posted a three point 156 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: six six ERA last year. But I think he is 157 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: due for a really significant regression this season. There is 158 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 2: that shoulder issue going on right now that's going to 159 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: delay the start of his season. I'm worried about that 160 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: lingering into the real games, But just overall, I think 161 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 2: his bottom line run prevention is going to take a 162 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: huge hit. So as I said three six six last year, 163 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: I think his ERA goes up a full run at 164 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 2: least this year for six six or higher during the 165 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 2: regular season for Braxton Garrett in addition to the injury 166 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 2: concern and how much that could linger into the year, 167 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 2: he is a relatively heavy ground ball guy. Last year 168 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 2: was a forty nine percent ground ball rate, and this 169 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: infield defense behind him should be pretty poor. Like last 170 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 2: year wasn't great, but ULI's had Joey Wendell was a 171 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 2: surprise standout at shorts. Luis Arise in he was surprisingly 172 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: good at second base relative to his reputation. I don't 173 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: know if Arise is going to maintain that. I feel 174 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 2: pretty confident that Tim Anderson will be a step down defensively. 175 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 2: What he finds at the plate maybe cancels that out, 176 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 2: but I don't think it's going to help a guy 177 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 2: like Braxton and at first base those options they don't 178 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: have a Yuli gur yell anymore. So I guess that 179 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 2: is the one thing they'll miss about Yulie is his 180 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 2: glove over there. And I mean some of that stuff 181 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 2: it turns into errors and unearned runs. But I'd say 182 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: most of the defensive issues don't actually aren't captured in that, 183 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 2: and they get lumped into your era as a pitcher unfortunately. 184 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 2: So that is an aspect of it. And another thing 185 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 2: is that command from In deference to smarter people that 186 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: really dive into this, a picture's commands can be kind 187 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 2: of volatile one season to the next. We just mentioned 188 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 2: Tanner Scott, but I think overall, you trust guys that 189 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 2: their stuff is going to be more repeatable from like 190 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: consistently throughout their career, but their command can come and 191 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 2: go a little bit there's just really few exceptions of 192 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 2: guys that are among the league leaders every single year 193 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 2: in avoiding walks. So I think naturally that is gonna 194 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 2: come back down to earth, will get a little bit 195 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 2: like combine. Altogether, I think he's gonna be a little 196 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 2: bit of a below average starter for the Marlins. 197 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 3: That would that would be really detrimental to this team, Manna, 198 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 3: They're gonna rely on Brox and Garrett heavy. But luckily, 199 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 3: like we've seen the spring, Miami's starting rotation depth looks 200 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: as good as anyone's. 201 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: Cross the league. 202 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 3: My next bold predictions sort of correlates with Kevin's except 203 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 3: the opposite way, and I'm gonna go with a little 204 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 3: bit of a bigger number than I had it initially. 205 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 3: These two players, these two relievers, Anthony Maldonado and Anthony Bender, 206 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 3: will combine for at least twelve more than twelve and 207 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 3: a half saves this year. And that goes along with Tanner. 208 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 3: Scott obviously struggled this spring. I don't think that has 209 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 3: anything to do with it, but I wouldn't be shocked 210 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 3: if he's on a different team come August first, And 211 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 3: in that case, I think Maldonado and Bender are the favorites, 212 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 3: are the in house favorites to take over that closer's job. 213 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: I think Nardi is gonna do fine in the eighth thing. 214 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 3: I think they're gonna give those two guys opportunities for 215 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 3: saves and they'll clear at least thirteen between the two 216 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 3: of them. 217 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: Okay, I will go with The last extension that Marians 218 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: gave out was to Richard Blyer, which not saying much, 219 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go that the Marlins are gonna go 220 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 1: on this wave of pre arb extensions and they will 221 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: give one to mister Yuri Perez very well deserved. He 222 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: needs it. That guy's value is gonna go up a lot. 223 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: May as well do it, Peter Bendix. I know the 224 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: Rays don't give up too many extensions. The last one 225 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: they gave out, we know how that's turned out. But 226 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: give it to someone like Yarry. He deserves it. The 227 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: guy had a great rookie year. He's gonna pitch more 228 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: than he did last year. And yeah, this guy just 229 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: what twenty years old? He still has a long way 230 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,719 Speaker 1: to go and he has a lot of control, But 231 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: as well lock him up as soon as he can. 232 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: Now you could probably get him maybe around with Brian 233 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: Bao got maybe a little bit less. That's kind of 234 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: the ranger looking at right there, and we saw it 235 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: with Bao. He got to believed that was a pre 236 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: arb extension as well. So Marl's got to do with 237 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: the area here. They gotta they got a you know, 238 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: they got to conserve some some guys at least going 239 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: into the future, and this definitely is one of them. 240 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 2: This is when we should find out relatively early because 241 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 2: these things usually work themselves out by opening day. You 242 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 2: don't see a ton of negotiating during the season, although 243 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: this is possible. I mean we usually grade these right 244 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 2: after the season. Yeah, kind of awkward. I don't think 245 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 2: we're going to wait around an extra three months in October, November, 246 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 2: December to say, yeah, get it right. Well, that's something 247 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 2: that we'll visit. We'll talk about that later. But I 248 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 2: think it's a fair one and it has been there. 249 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: There's reason to believe he is a candidate for it. 250 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 2: But we'll see no extensions so far this entire offseason 251 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 2: during the Bendix era. So for me, this is gonna 252 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 2: be my third bold prediction. Oh, I should have started 253 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 2: talking before pulling, but This is about Victor Mason Junior, 254 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 2: who I am relatively high on and I think as 255 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: a whole we well relatives to other prospects hitting prospects 256 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 2: in the organization, there's we think he's the best all 257 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 2: things considered, just a pretty well rounded player that hasn't 258 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 2: that a breakout year in the minors. He's just consistently 259 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 2: gotten a little bit better while playing against much older competition. 260 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 2: A well rounded guy, plays all three outfield positions, and 261 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 2: he's on the forty man roster as of this past offseason. 262 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 2: So I think not only does he get called up 263 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four for no Double A experience yet, 264 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 2: but being on the forty man being able to play 265 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: all those positions, having something you could like offensively hold 266 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 2: in terms of his just general hitting ability as well 267 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 2: as some of the raw power that's in there. Like, 268 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 2: I think he impresses enough in the upper miners and 269 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: that not Opper two arises in this Marlins outfield that 270 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 2: he comes up. And I set this number thirty plus 271 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 2: MLB games this year, playing at least thirty games based 272 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 2: on Xavier Edwards. Last year he played exactly thirty, So 273 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 2: I use it as a threshold of somebody that's actually 274 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 2: relevant piece of this season. Like with the Edwards, he 275 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 2: was a guy, especially towards the end of the year, 276 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 2: where he was a significant piece of what they were doing. 277 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: Doesn't mean he's in the lineup every single day, but 278 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: I think he comes up for more than just a 279 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 2: cup of coffee. Victor Mason Jr. Makes people feel a 280 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 2: whole lot better about that signing him and his brother 281 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 2: five and a half years ago. To get an actual 282 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: major league player this early would be a big win. 283 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 2: And because I'm kind of sketchy, I'm not super high 284 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 2: on the other outfielders that are ahead of him on 285 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 2: the depth chart. I think the opportunity will be there 286 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 2: as long as he's performing really well at Double A 287 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: or most likely a Triple A Jacksonville. 288 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, if there's ever any injuries. I mean, he's a 289 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: good defensive outfielder in all three spots, so makes a 290 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: lot of sense. Yeah, I mean I kind of had 291 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: this same prediction as you, so God, we're on the 292 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: same page that he will be a big leaguer in 293 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. 294 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 3: I do like this one. He was in my call 295 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 3: up contest, and I do think he'll make his major 296 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 3: league debut. Thirty games is a lot, you know. I 297 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 3: think that's what makes it bold. It's the thirty games here. 298 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 3: But like you said, Kevin, all he needs is just 299 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 3: defensive replacement play lessening and that council is a game, 300 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 3: so exactly. My is my third prediction. Well, it was 301 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 3: pretty well documented that Miami did not steal a lot 302 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 3: of bases. In twenty twenty three, they were tied for 303 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 3: fifth fewest stolen bases in Major League Baseball, and I 304 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 3: think that completely turns around in twenty twenty four. I 305 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 3: believe that they will be top ten in Major League 306 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 3: Baseball as a team in stolen bases. I think a 307 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 3: lot of the acquisitions that they brought in, including Nick Gordon, 308 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 3: beat Al Bruhan. I think a healthy John Birdie, just 309 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 3: Chishom Junior being healthy. Some of these guys will be running. 310 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 3: You know, we already saw. I think it was de 311 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 3: la Cruz running a couple of times, albeit he got 312 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 3: thrown out. But the spring they've been running a lot more. 313 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 3: And I think that this team will be top ten 314 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 3: and stolen bases after finishing in the bottom five of 315 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 3: the league. 316 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 2: All Right, I guess says bowled relative to where they 317 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 2: were last year. Heard el the frustration about it. Yeah, 318 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 2: it doesn't feel so bold because some of those acquisitions 319 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 2: they've made, guys that have it wouldn't be a surprised 320 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: to see them running. But yeah, I think this this 321 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: qualifies ten. 322 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say top fifteen initially, but the 323 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 3: top ten, I think it's that's pretty hard to do, 324 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 3: especially with some of the teams out there. I mean, 325 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 3: Acunia might outrun them all, does him exactly. 326 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Hayesus Luzardo here. He pitched a 327 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: career high one hundred and seventy eight innings. I'm gonna 328 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: say he has a Sandy type season. He's gonna go 329 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: two hundred innings, two hundred strikeouts. He's at number one, 330 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: he's the ace of this team. If he's traded, oh well, 331 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: but you gotta think this guy's gonna have a good, great, 332 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: great season. I mean he was really good, especially towards 333 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: the end when they needed him the most. He made 334 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 1: that playoff start. I didn't have the two hundred k's 335 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: where we had to go a little bold, So we'll 336 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: go with both. You already surpasted once you could do 337 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: it again. 338 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I'm not worried about the k's. I 339 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 2: think there's about but it's just so rare for anybody 340 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 2: to pitch two hundred dings. Obviously, Sandy did it two 341 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 2: years ago in twenty twenty two. If we get last year, 342 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 2: was it only it was Logan Web. But there's five 343 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 2: guys last year that threw at least two hundred. But yeah, 344 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 2: and most of them were a few of them were 345 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: older guys, but there was also a Logan Web in there, 346 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 2: Zach Gallon, And it's it's reasonable to think like Luzardo 347 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 2: is in that category because of the way that he 348 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 2: like piles up those strikeouts. It's just hard for him 349 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 2: to be efficient enough to get the green light to 350 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 2: consistently pitch into this seventh inning, which is what you're 351 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 2: gonna have to do. Nixing a couple of complete games 352 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 2: as well, it gets it two hundred. So that is bold. 353 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 2: I wouldn't quite go there. I do understand why you're 354 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 2: excited about Lozardo based on what he's pretty pretty clear 355 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 2: that he is a special guy as long as he 356 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 2: stays healthy. 357 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: Already, Isaac no Eli, my. 358 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: Bad, this is my fourth one. All right, Josh Bell 359 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: his first full year with the team. He made a 360 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 2: great impression last year coming over. Marlins bought super low 361 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 2: on him. He was a bad contract when they traded 362 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 2: for him, believe it or not. And I guess in 363 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 2: his opinion, he enters this year on a bad contract 364 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: because he just picked up his player option instead of 365 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 2: going out to free agency to try to improve his situation. 366 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 2: But now he is a true pending free agent in 367 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 2: a walk year, and I think he's gonna be motivated 368 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 2: and I think he's gonna be extremely productive this season, 369 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 2: especially when it comes to the run production department. So 370 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 2: I am going to go with one hundred plus RBIs 371 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 2: for Josh Bell this season. He's done that before, way 372 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 2: back in twenty nineteen when he was with the Is 373 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 2: that still with the Pirates? Back then it wasn't. He's 374 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 2: he's been kind of close since then. Yeah, he had 375 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixteen with the twenty nineteen Pirates and 376 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 2: since then he's had it was the shortened season and 377 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 2: then in twenty twenty one, eighty eight, the year after that, 378 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 2: seventy one, last year seventy four that he had. I 379 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 2: do think this offense is going to be better than 380 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 2: it was last year, more guys on base in front 381 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: of him, more run production opportunities. So I'm not committing 382 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 2: for sure that he's going to do all this with 383 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 2: the Marlins. I'll leave that open ended, but I do 384 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 2: think one hundred plus total runs bad in for a 385 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 2: guy that is bubb all else, he's just super durable. 386 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 2: He never goes on the il. In his career, he 387 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 2: has played in every full season he's been the big leagues. 388 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 2: It's been at least one hundred and forty three games, 389 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 2: and last year was one fifty, the year before was 390 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 2: one fifty six. That's that's really the most important thing 391 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 2: to reach this milestone is actually to get actually to 392 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: be available to play. So what there's the first base 393 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 2: of the hill in a line up a lot. Also 394 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 2: in his career, he's been more productive with runners on 395 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 2: base than with the base is empty. It's a gap 396 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 2: of like seventy five points in his ops when there 397 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 2: are runners in scoring position I should say scoring position 398 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 2: versus bases empty. So that's enough of the sample size 399 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 2: to believe there's there's something to it. He steps up 400 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 2: in those situations or he just is approach enough in 401 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 2: those situations to get stuff done. Figure for Josh Bell, 402 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 2: he'd be the first Marvelin to reach this mark since 403 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 2: Stanton and Ozuna, first one in the Bruce Sherman era 404 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 2: to reach one hundred. 405 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 3: If he gets there, I like it. I think you'll 406 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 3: have a lot more opportunities to reb in some runs 407 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 3: this year. 408 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: So I'm going to a park too, so he's gonna 409 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: be able to get him in the gaps as well. 410 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: And I can't hate it my fourth one. 411 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 3: All right, We're gonna make this a little bit higher. 412 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 3: This is the flashiest guy on the team, on their 413 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 3: new center field, who we hope is healthy. Gosh darn it, 414 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 3: he has to be healthy. He's already got new eating habits, 415 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 3: nutrition habits for this year. I think jazz Chism Junior 416 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 3: becomes a third Marlin in history to go thirty thirty. 417 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 3: But Jettism is gonna go thirty five to thirty five. Dude, 418 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 3: thirty five stolen bases, and you know what, I'm gonna 419 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 3: respect the man. Thirty thirty isn't bold enough if he's healthy. 420 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 3: To be honest, I think he was well on pace 421 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 3: for that last year. So thirty five thirty five, not 422 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 3: quite forty forty like mister Peter Pratt likes to keep 423 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 3: back up. But I think Gets and Junior can really 424 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 3: have a special season. And I was actually gonna do 425 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 3: jesters in Junior one hundred RBI. That was gonna be 426 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 3: my vow prediction, but we went with thirty five thirty 427 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 3: five on the only two other Marlins to go thirty 428 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 3: thirty was Hanley Ramirez in two thousand and eight and 429 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 3: Preston Wilson in two thousand. 430 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: You took my prediction word for word, so it. 431 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 2: Was exactly thirty five thirty five. 432 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: It was gonna be thirty thirty. But no matter, No 433 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: he got one. 434 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 2: I will say that would be he's capable of doing it. 435 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 2: I'd say he might be drinking too much of the 436 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 2: pr kool aid around him, like some of this is 437 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: just out of his control. He's been heard, unfortunately several 438 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 2: different times in several different ways like it's there's only 439 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 2: so much you can control, even with your best possible intentions. 440 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 2: So I certainly hope he does he does it. He is, 441 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 2: we have all the pro rated sets. If you look 442 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 2: at what he's done his career when he's been healthy 443 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 2: in these categories. I see the vision here. 444 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know what, I think he's going to 445 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,959 Speaker 3: be playing every single freaking day, even against lefties. So 446 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 3: I think he'll have a lot of opportunities. 447 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: If you think I'm drinking the PR if you thought 448 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: Isaac was drinking the PR, cool lady, you're gonna think 449 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm drinking the spring training one. But if Ryan Weathers, 450 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: I think does make the rotation and he's going to 451 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: be an All Star this year for the Miami Marlins. 452 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: He has shown everything during spring training. We're gonna go 453 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: bold Ryan Weathers. He was the top pick in the draft. 454 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: He there's a reason why he was. He's in a 455 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: new atmosphere, he's going to Miami, and he's going to 456 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 1: be an All Star. 457 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 2: Well, this lends up perfectly because we get to go 458 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 2: head to head on this in a similar vein Oh, 459 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 2: I have Aj Puck be all Start this year, and 460 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 2: I feel I didn't even consider Weather's to be honest, 461 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 2: even though we all agreed that we think he could 462 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 2: break the rotation. Like there's some there's things to like, 463 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 2: but with Puck, it's he's showing a five pitch mix 464 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 2: all of them that he can throw in and around 465 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 2: the strike zone. He's he's at least had some success 466 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 2: in the big leagues, whereas Ryan Weathers has a zero 467 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 2: major league success. Puck is even in a different role, 468 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 2: he's been really effective so far. And I think Puck 469 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 2: even it's more of a slam dunk that he's going 470 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 2: to be in this rotation that's to start the season, 471 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 2: whereas with Weather's you're going out on a limb a 472 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 2: little bit because that's kind of a there's still something 473 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 2: they has approved between now started the season to get there. Yeah, 474 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 2: I've but I'm all I've spoken ready about this a 475 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 2: couple of times about how much confidence I haven't puff 476 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 2: making this transition. It really surprised me how deep his 477 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 2: picnicks was and also how he was throwing strikes pretty consistently. 478 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 2: I have no idea what to expect with him over 479 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 2: the course of a full season. It would be uncharted 480 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 2: territory for him to make thirty starts with an All 481 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 2: Star selection. You're just looking at the first like sixteen 482 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 2: starts of a season really just half of it before 483 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 2: you learnt it. So I just feel when he's healthy 484 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 2: and when he has the green light to pitch regularly 485 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 2: in the rotation, which he should the first half of 486 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 2: the year. I expect him to put up really good numbers. 487 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 2: I think in terms of both run prevention and just 488 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 2: limiting base runners. Like I think pelp could be a 489 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 2: really well rounded starter, not a super duper star, but 490 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 2: enough of a star to be a selection. The name 491 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: that comes to minds as a somewhat of a president. 492 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 2: I was thinking like a Michael Lorenzen style All Star selection, 493 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 2: where even Michael Lorenzen, he was an All Star last year. 494 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 2: Now that was slightly different in that he was on 495 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 2: a team where he had no good teammates around him, 496 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: so it was like a pity selection for the Tigers, 497 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,479 Speaker 2: where the standard was a little lower for him than 498 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 2: other All Stars. And with the Marlins, realistically, we think 499 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 2: that they are going to be at least one other 500 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 2: player among their other talented guys that is also worthy, 501 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 2: so Pup will have to earn it a little bit more. 502 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 2: And whether it's for that matter, all these guys what 503 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 2: to really put up good numbers, because Marlins are likely 504 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 2: to have multiple All Stars over the course of the year. 505 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 2: But this is just me saying I think Puck for 506 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 2: as long as he is available and in the rotation 507 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 2: that he just checks a lot of boxes that I 508 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 2: look for in the starter. I think he can. He'll 509 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 2: get recognized for that. 510 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, we'll finish it off with a fun one. 511 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 3: We might have to wait till September for this one, 512 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 3: but I think that Griffin Conin hits his first major 513 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 3: league home run in twenty twenty four. I think he 514 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 3: hits his first big league o run. 515 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: You drink the crew, lady yesterday. 516 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 3: No, And I had nothing to do with this Springs 517 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 3: training and zero to do with that. I do think 518 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 3: he'll be given an opportunity at some point. The clock 519 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 3: is ticking with him, and we all know the concerns 520 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 3: with him and the swing and miss. But you know what, 521 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 3: if this team is not where they want to be 522 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 3: in late September, in late August, early September, I think 523 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 3: he could be one of those limited September collups. And 524 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 3: when he gets up here, he's gonna hit one out. 525 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 3: So Driven Cone will get on the board in his 526 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 3: major league career in twenty twenty four, all right. 527 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: And to wrap it up, for the first time in 528 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: franchise history, the Miami Marls will make the playoffs in 529 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: back to back years. They will be going to the 530 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: playoffs in twenty twenty four. That is not the boldest, 531 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: but there never know, man, this nleast you know you 532 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: said it, Isaac. The mats aren't very good. You never 533 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: know what the Cubs could look like. Same thing goes 534 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: to the Cardinals Reds. You know they'll make the playoffs. 535 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: They'll make that third wild cards. So any any predictions 536 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: that you guys left in the back burner, you. 537 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 2: Know, I have one on my own on that. But 538 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 2: I also want to share some of the Twitter responses 539 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 2: we got. 540 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So. 541 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 2: First of I'll give them that. It's it's like a 542 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 2: bonus one. It's highly specific about I think Spencer Schreider 543 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 2: is going to throw a no hitter against the Marlins, 544 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 2: which I guess on the surface doesn't seem super bold, 545 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 2: but the Braves have not had a no hitter in 546 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 2: thirty years, believe it or not, and Strider has never 547 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: pitched a complete game in the majors. He is I 548 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 2: think in some ways you could list it. He might 549 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 2: be as talented as any pitcher in the majors or 550 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 2: somebody that at least we'd expect this year to be 551 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 2: among the most unhittable starting pitchers. He's only going to 552 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 2: face the Marlins a max of four times, And actually 553 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 2: I even looked at the schedule, putt some research, even 554 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 2: on a bonus one. I looked at the schedule and 555 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 2: the wait lines up. He's probably only going to face 556 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 2: the Marlins three times just because a couple of the 557 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 2: series are bunched together with each other, So probably like 558 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,479 Speaker 2: three shots at doing this. Still, I think the it's 559 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 2: kind of self explanatory that he's one of the nastiest 560 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 2: guys in the game when he's on this. Marlins offense 561 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 2: could be improved from where they were last year, but 562 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 2: I think they'll still be susceptible to an off night 563 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 2: at some point. 564 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 3: Strider almost no perfect game them in in Atlanta last year. 565 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 3: Remember until the seventh inning, I was my dad and 566 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 3: his wife and I were there. Unfortunately, Yeah, I remember that. 567 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: Well. 568 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 2: I know you had some extra ones, Kevin. 569 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: I So yeah, because Isaac Isaac took the Jazz one, 570 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: I had that Lozardo would win the cy young, I 571 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: felt like, but then I went with Lozardo two hundred, 572 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,239 Speaker 1: two hundred. I said, this one was really bad one. 573 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: I said, Christian Bethancourt would put up his highest WRS 574 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: career high. He would surpass his career high in WRC 575 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: plus U Luis Risewood won his third consecutive batting title. 576 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: Victim Mason Junior would be in make the major league debut. 577 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: Jazgo's thirty thirty those are really. 578 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 3: None of those were very bold, except for exactly, yeah, 579 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 3: you did well with your the ones that you did list, Kevin. 580 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's kind of you know, I think a little. 581 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 2: Bold, right, So if I could read some of these 582 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 2: that we get on Twitter, we have some more a J. 583 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 2: Puck propaganda from Vic Fishtails at Vic Fishtails saying that 584 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 2: Puck will win ten plus games. And we also had 585 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 2: somebody that was high on Weather's. Let's see if I 586 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 2: can find that Nick Alvarez at Knicks take twenty two 587 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 2: Weathers as twelve wins in an era under three point fifty. 588 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 2: So that's pretty similar to what Kevin is saying in 589 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 2: terms of an All Star Like, yeah, I think you guys, a, yeah, 590 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 2: you're pretty closely aligned on that. We have Palo at 591 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 2: PMT two three eight seven that the Marlins will have 592 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 2: three no hitters this season, including one perfect game so 593 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 2: that it and will turn at least one triple play. 594 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 2: That is on the high end of bold. In there, 595 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 2: we have Laurella at Laurella saying that DLC has a 596 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 2: better year than last year with an OPS plus of 597 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 2: one ten, so at least ten per last year he 598 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 2: was in the nineties. And so let me get that. 599 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 2: This fist one from Reese Stark at Exiled Underscore acts 600 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 2: that Nardi leaves the team and saves Jesus Sanchez hits 601 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 2: thirty plus homers, and Trevor Rodgers accruise at least three 602 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 2: wins above replacement. 603 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: That's bold. One of those Isaac loves that Hazu Sanchez won. 604 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, and one more for our guys, Sean millerck he 605 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 2: sent in a few. The couple that I think I 606 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 2: like most are Jake Berger gets an MVP vote just 607 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 2: appears on a ballot somewhere, and that Trevor Rodgers leads 608 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 2: the team in innings pitched. 609 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: Wow, that's bold, So thank you orderline. 610 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 3: Ridiculous is what that is. 611 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would I would not go along with it, 612 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 2: but I guess I see the vision. He's well rested 613 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 2: after barely throwing last year. If that means anything. 614 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: Alrighty, so, Isaac, anything you had in the back. 615 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 3: Burner or no. I was very I didn't know where 616 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 3: to go with these, so I was gonna do it. 617 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 3: Haysius Sanche just one, but I and Edward Carbero were 618 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 3: my two favorite guys. But I can't let the heart 619 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 3: choose these. I gotta be better, and in order to 620 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 3: be better, I have to be objected, and therefore I 621 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 3: went with those those names that I went. 622 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 2: With so quickly at the end. Here, let's just recap 623 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 2: for everybody in one fell swoop that I had Lewis 624 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 2: Rise not leading the Marlins and hits not being the 625 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 2: team's hit leader. This season, Isaac has five Marlins hitting 626 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 2: twenty plus homers. Kevin has Tanner Scott getting fifty saves 627 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 2: franchise record that would be. I have Braxton Garrett's era 628 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 2: going up a full run from last year, so at 629 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 2: least for sixty six ERA for Braxton Garrett, a down 630 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 2: year for him. Isaac has Anthony Maldonado and Anthony Bender 631 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 2: combining for at least twelve and a half saves. Kevin 632 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 2: sees an extension for Yery Perez. I have Victor Mason 633 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 2: Junior coming up, making his debut and playing at least 634 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 2: thirty games in the Majors for the Marlins this year. 635 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 2: Isaac sees the Marlins running a whole lot, ranking top 636 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 2: ten in teams stolen bases after being near the bottom 637 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 2: last year. Kevin has hayesusil Zara two hundred two hundred season, 638 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 2: two hundred plus nings, two hundred plus strikeouts. I have 639 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 2: one hundred plus RBIs for Josh Bell. Isaac has a 640 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 2: thirty five to thirty five season for Jazz choson junior Kevin, 641 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 2: and I heads ahead on All Star picks. Kevin with 642 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 2: Ryan Weathers, myself AJ Puck would be first time All 643 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 2: Star selections for either of them. Isaac has Griffin Conine 644 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 2: becoming the true Marlins legacy player and it's hitting his 645 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 2: first career Major League home run this year. And Kevin 646 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 2: took us home with the Marlins making the playoffs again 647 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 2: for only the fifth time in franchise history, but the 648 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 2: first time ever going back to back years. 649 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: Alright, and I think this is where we will wrap 650 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: it up.
