1 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: The Miami Marlins. Yes, those same Marlins that were supposed 2 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: to be quote the worst team in the history of baseball. 3 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: End quote Your Miami Marlins have decided to take five 4 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: of their last six, finishing out the last three games 5 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: of the Saint Louis Cardinals series with two wins. They 6 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: have swept the Oh so Mighty Philadelphia Phillies. They own 7 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 1: a top five starting staff in all of baseball, not 8 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: just the National League. Again, I'll say it, in all 9 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: of baseball. Whether it's Brian Anderson or Garrett Cooper, Harold Ramirez, 10 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: O Pueo or Miguel Rojas or whoever wants to be 11 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: the person, even JT. Riddle who produces offense for this club. 12 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: At the moment, they just keep on hitting in timely fashion. 13 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,559 Speaker 1: In the miners, they have a top prospect performance every 14 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: single day. If you look at Pipeline sending daily tweets, 15 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: if you look at Baseball America or Baseball Prospectus or 16 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: twenty eighty Baseball, every single day there's another arm and 17 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: another bat, whether it's Isan Diaz or Monte Harrison, whoever 18 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: the case may be, who is getting the designation of 19 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: a top daily prospect. So much show that the national 20 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: media is starting to change their tune a little bit. 21 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: You start seeing individuals tweet out, and you start seeing 22 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: segments talking about how this rebuild might have been judged prematurely. 23 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: How the fact that the reason that there's a top 24 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: five staff at the moment in South Florida is because 25 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: it's filled with individuals like Al Contrera and Caleb Smith, 26 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: like Zach Gallen, like Jordan Yamamoto who came back in 27 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: pieces of this rebuild where we see players like a 28 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,639 Speaker 1: six Do Sanchez in the minor league system, or George 29 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: Alfarou at the moment is on the il. Hopefully with 30 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: a minor concussion he'll be able to come back producing 31 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: the way that they need to be, producing a savvy 32 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: nuance signing like a Harold Dermirez or a trade acquisition 33 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: from a Garrett Cooper. I guess I would say that 34 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: some of us have been saying this all along. Some 35 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: of us might have been getting crucified for saying these 36 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: type of things, and yet it is happening. This is 37 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: another episode of fish Bites. My name is Danny Martinez. 38 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: It's always is a pleasure to be with you. I'm excited, 39 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: not because it's it's that they're winning. I'm excited because 40 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: of who is producing the product on the field. Today. 41 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: I'm alsto excited because one of my favorite people on 42 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: Twitter is coming on. Kevin Smith is going to be 43 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: joining us later. So you only get, you know, thank 44 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: thank Kevin for this. You only get about thirty minutes 45 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: of me and then we'll talk a good fifteen to 46 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: twenty minutes with Kevin. Really interesting conversation that he decided 47 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: to bring into the fold and it actually goes very well. 48 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about today because after we go 49 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: through our player performances of the week, we're going to 50 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about this whole Tampa Bay Ray's 51 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: situation where MLB gave them permission to just explore the 52 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: possibility of being a two city team between Tampa or 53 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: Saint Pete and Montreal. So it'll be very interesting how 54 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: that unfolds, even though I think that quite frankly, it 55 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: won't happen, and I'll speak about why. But why is 56 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: that conversation we're going to talk about today on A 57 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: Marlin's podcast, Well, because number one, when that kind of 58 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: conversation occurs, of course, you get the very lazy narratives. Well, 59 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: the Marlins might be next the Marlins attendance look of 60 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: maybe they could relocate. That's what Bruce Sherman and Derek 61 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: Jeter want to do. I'm going to tell you why 62 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: one that's not happening, Why the Marlins are not leaving Miami, 63 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: even if they could until twenty forty seven, until I'm 64 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 1: well into my fifties and older. So we're gonna talk 65 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: about that at length. I got my hands on the 66 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: documents of Marlin's park purchase and the agreement they have 67 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,799 Speaker 1: with MLB and the City of Miami, and we're gonna 68 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: go through that so that we can kind of rest 69 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: some nerves a little bit, and then we're gonna bring 70 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: Kevin on. But it's always a start off with our 71 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: pitching performance. And you know what, I'm gonna get lazy, right. 72 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: Some people say, Danny, I don't like it when you 73 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: have two or three options in your pictures of the weekend, 74 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: your hitters of the week. I'm sorry, I don't know 75 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: what to tell you. I cannot choose when you have 76 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: Al Contreil one day going seven and two thirds inning 77 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: with one earned run, and then when you have two 78 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: outings from Jordan Yamamoto, just another quote peanut from the 79 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: Christian Yellow's trade. First in Saint Louis. 80 00:04:59,360 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 2: That is it? 81 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 3: There for a called strike. Three comes the one to 82 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 3: two bitch swung on and missed, and Yamamoto back to 83 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 3: back starts, seven scoreless. 84 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: Ginnings, seven scoreless innings with seven ks to two walks, 85 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: only two hits. And then in Philadelphia getting himself in 86 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: some trouble loading the bases in the first inning. Was 87 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: the first time that he really had some hiccups. 88 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: Three two, runner does not go and Yamamoto gets the 89 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 3: strikeout a fastball by Miller, his fifth nothing in two. 90 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 3: Here to Reese Hoskins, who comes up emptiest slider from Yamamoto. 91 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 3: Who's got six? That at ninety three seven strikeouts in 92 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 3: five innings. 93 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: How did he respond well? He was able to get 94 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: through five only allowing two hits to earned runs. And oh, 95 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: by the way, he only walked one hitter the rest 96 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: of the way. What about Gallen? What about Zach Gallon 97 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: coming up making his debut, going five only allowing one run, 98 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: five hits. He struck out six another peanut. As a 99 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: matter of fact, the four outings, two of them belonging 100 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: to Yamamoto are all from trade acquisitions. Isn't that interesting? 101 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: So you choose, because maybe I am being lazy, but 102 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: I'm not going to choose between the outings Sandy. I mean, 103 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: I said Sandy first, because it's impressive seven to two thirds. 104 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: I didn't think he was going to go out there 105 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: for the eighth. Quite frankly, I actually sent out a 106 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: tweet when he left at the end of the seventh. 107 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: You know that's it. When an amazing outing he went 108 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: out back for the eighth, you were starting to see 109 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more durability there. Only allowed one run 110 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: six K's four walks is still something that we want 111 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: to work on. But even then, he continues to limit 112 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: the damage. And the way he's doing that, the kid 113 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: doesn't give up home runs. There is something about his 114 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: velocity and his movement. He doesn't give up home runs. 115 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: He's towards the top of the leaderboard in Major League 116 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: Baseball on that, and then you have Yams. I went 117 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: on a ESPN Honolulu thank you for having me on 118 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: Bobby and the Bobby Koran Show. They wanted to talk 119 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: about Yams. Of course, they want to talk about Yams 120 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: and The question really that stuck with me was he said, look, 121 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: I don't even remember seeing him in high school. Tell 122 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: me about his arsenal. I could have spent ten minutes 123 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: talking about Yamamoto's arsenal. The kid has six different pitches 124 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: and two variations to his curve ball, and he can 125 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: throw a little slurve in there, and that's what continues 126 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: to happen. He goes to Saint Louis front of thirty 127 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: thousand plus people, seven scoreless. He goes to Philadelphia in 128 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: front of forty two runs across five innings after they 129 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning. Impressive. 130 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: And then Zak Gallen. Of course I'm a director. I 131 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: can't even write that gets called up against a team 132 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: that he was traded from, the Cardinals, in front of 133 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: his family. That are all there, five innings, pitch, only 134 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: one run allowed. The individual performances are beautiful, but we 135 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: don't even have to stick at the individual performance. The 136 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: Marlins starting pitching, I said it in my introduction as 137 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: a whole, is ranked fifth one two, three four five, 138 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: fifth in Major League Baseball in earn run average in 139 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: fielding Independent pitching FIP. My go to eighth, fifth in ERA, 140 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: eighth in FIP. It is basically a consensus top ten 141 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: rotation in baseball. And these kids are twenty three and 142 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: twenty two and twenty four and twenty three and twenty five. 143 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: They are good. Correction, they have been great. They're all 144 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: under the age of twenty six. The reason this rebuild 145 00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: has progressed much faster than many expected, maybe even myself. 146 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: The starting pitching. Now that's not to say that Brian Anderson, 147 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: who were about to talk about Garrett Cooper, who were 148 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: about to talk about in others such as a Harold 149 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: Jrmiris and a George Afero prior to getting hurt, haven't 150 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: added to that. Absolutely, if those names weren't producing the 151 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: way they were, we would still be talking about a 152 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: rebuild that's right on pace. But guess what, they're producing 153 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: at a higher rate that we'd expect. And when the 154 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: starting pitching is fifth in era and eighth and fifth, 155 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: you better believe that this is going to progress quicker 156 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: than we think. Oh and just for fun, you have 157 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: Diaz and Monte and Brinton and others coming up if 158 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 1: and rather when they get their call up, if they 159 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: support this elite pitching staff, this young pitching staff with 160 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: even average offense, you're talking about a five hundred club. 161 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: You're talking about a five hundred club, and maybe they're 162 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: individuals that don't appreciate that. That's what I'm saying. I'm sorry, 163 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: Sue me. Do I expect the pitching staff to continue 164 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: performing at this level? You know, I'm not sure they're young. 165 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: There's gonna be inconsistencies. There's gonna have months where they 166 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: don't perform at the way that they're doing right now. 167 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: But I don't expect them to fall off a cliff. 168 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: If this was a thirty two year old average pitching staff, 169 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: I would expect regression in them to fall off a cliff. 170 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: It's not. It's twenty three year olds. They're only going 171 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: to get better. They're only going to be able to 172 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: control their stuff better. They're only going to learn how 173 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: to pitch and become unpredictable with their sequencing at a 174 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: better rate. The Marlins are going to be good, and 175 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: people need to wake up and realize it. I wrote 176 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: an article early in the season talking about the starting 177 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: staff possibly being a historically good one in terms of 178 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: Marlin's history. I of course also got significant backlash for it. Well, 179 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: guess what, they're making me a profit because every night 180 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: they go out there and they prove me right. I'm 181 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: not going to give the numbers away because I want 182 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: you to go see it in depth. Go see where 183 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: this Marlin's rotation lines up in EER and in FIP 184 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: with the best rotations in Marlin's history, the nineteen ninety seven's, 185 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: the two thousand and threes, the two thousand and five's, 186 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: whatever you want to point out, but look at it. 187 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: Come back to me and let me know if I 188 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: was crazy when I said early on in the season 189 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: that this starting staff would be a top five staff 190 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: in Marlin's history. If wind loss is an issue for 191 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: you still, I mean, if you're like ten episodes deep 192 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: with me and win loss really is still an issue 193 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: with you, I really thank you for, you know, listening 194 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: to a different perspective, okay, because I have been just 195 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: trying to destroy wind loss and that narrative while. But 196 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: I will say this on whatever today's date is. Let's 197 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: see today's day when I'm recording this, I have no 198 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: idea June twenty third or something to that extent. On 199 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: June twenty third of twenty nineteen. I am telling you 200 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: that this is the last year I don't care about 201 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: wind laws. Next year I care. So you can hold 202 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: me to that that next year I care about wind laws. 203 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 1: This year I don't. And if you take that away, 204 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, what an exciting year to be a 205 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: Marlins fan because you're seeing everything happen. You're seeing the 206 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: young guys produce, You're seeing the pitching staff at an 207 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: elite level. You're seeing what the future holds. When a 208 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: Monte Harrison, when a Nissan Diaz comes up, When hopefully 209 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: an improved Lewis Brinson comes up, when a JJ Blede 210 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: makes his way here in a year and a half 211 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: to two years, a Cameron Meisner, a jedad In Carnascione. 212 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: Just wait, then again, the Marlins currently aren't by them. 213 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: So on the pitching staff, because there's some hitters on 214 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: this team as well. Brian Anderson is someone that I 215 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: think the Marlin should be bringing to the conversation of 216 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: an extension. I wholeheartedly believe that I sent that out. 217 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: We had a roundtable for Fish Stripes eSPI Nation, and 218 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: we discussed who we would extend, and I chose Brian Anderson. 219 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: I also want to have a very shameless plug here. 220 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: I also chose Caleb Smith to have a heart start. 221 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: I think I was really the only one who said that, 222 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: so self, pat on the back. Brian Anderson is putting 223 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: himself into the conversation as a top third baseman in 224 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: the National League, which is crazy to think of when 225 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: you think of the names in the National League. His 226 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: wins above replacement, I believe it's his be War Baseball reference, 227 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: his wins above replacement. It looks at a player's value 228 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: is top five in third base in the National League. 229 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: What has he done this week? Well, he went three 230 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: point fifty seven four hundred and seven eighty six in field. 231 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 3: And outfield straight up against Anderson, who waits a one 232 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 3: two pitch lets one down the left field line. Is 233 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 3: it gonna have enough? 234 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 2: Bit? 235 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 3: Well, and two run home run for Brian Anderson. 236 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: I had someone ask me what a slash was, So 237 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you that right now. When I say 238 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: those three numbers back to back to back, it's called 239 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: a slash line. It is the player's average. So that's 240 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: the three fifty seven, followed by the players on base 241 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: percentage that's the four hundred. So that player got on 242 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: base forty percent of the time over the last week 243 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: that he went up, and then followed by his slugging 244 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: seven eighty six. When you talk about ops, that's on 245 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: base plus slugging, I don't use that quite as often. 246 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: I stick to slash lines. I think it gives you 247 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: more of an understanding. Brian Anderson three fifty seven four 248 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: hundred seven eighty six, three home run including one today, 249 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: six RBIs one walk, three strikeouts, and elite. Listen, when 250 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: I say something, I want you to go and find 251 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: out if I'm right or wrong. When I give you 252 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: a discrete elite, I want you to make sure that 253 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: my bias is not coming out. Brian Anderson is playing 254 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: elite defense at third Elite, not good, not on par, 255 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: not average, not above average, not great, elite defense at 256 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: third the second option. Garrett Cooper four forty four four 257 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: sixty four six sixty seven Again that's his average on base, slugging, 258 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: one homer, almost got another one today, one walk, seven k's. 259 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: Garrett Cooper was a conversation piece either last week or 260 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: two weeks ago where we spoke about possibly not having 261 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: to go out and get a Jose. I'll bray you 262 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: because he could be the answer at first base. I'm 263 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: gonna continue to say that this is something that might happen. 264 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: He's currently on a four teen game hitting streak and 265 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: has hit safely in nineteen of his last twenty games 266 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: nineteen of his last twenty games. He's doing it with 267 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: good to above average defense at first as well. And 268 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: I understand the age parameters here. He is a little 269 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: bit older, he's twenty eight, but again, this is entering 270 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: prime and look at what he's doing. Gary Cooper's a 271 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: good case of not having the fancy name and top 272 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: one hundred prospect designations by you, so the national media 273 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: doesn't talk about you. But if a New York Yankee, 274 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,479 Speaker 1: or if someone who had a top one hundred designation 275 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: prior was hitting the way that Cooper's hitting this month, 276 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: ESPN woulden shut up about him. Gary Cooper's solidifying the 277 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: fact that he's at least an option to be the 278 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: long term and by long term I mean three to 279 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: five years answer at first base, which would mean that 280 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: the Marlins could then use whatever money they might allocate, which, 281 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: for what it's worth, the only player under contract in 282 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: the year twenty twentieth everyone else is under team control 283 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: or in their arbitration years, which means that the Marlins 284 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: have a lot of money to spend, even just to 285 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: get to the payroll that they have this year, which 286 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: is eighty million pen is like I believe twenty two million, 287 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: So they have a lot sixty plus million dollars, which 288 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: some of it will go to arbitration, but not, you know, 289 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,959 Speaker 1: not as much as you might think, which means they 290 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: should be able to add someone if they want to, 291 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: and if it makes baseball sense. The answer might no 292 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: longer be Jose Bray you like I've said before, because 293 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: Garrett Cooper is making sure that that's an obsolete theory. 294 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: Miguel Rojas is also playing very well, so it might 295 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: not even be a short stop, even though I'm sure 296 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: if they get a chance at a D. D. Gregoras 297 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: or someone to that extent, they would think of it. 298 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: At the very least maybe some bullpen pieces. I'm not 299 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: sure what they would do because it just looks like 300 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: the youth is filling up all of the holes in 301 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: this roster. But the money will be there. A little 302 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 1: bonus for today that I'll add for the hitting performances 303 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: of the week after you know Garret Cooper and Brian 304 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: Anderson is JT. Riddle has decided to go to the 305 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: minor leagues, you know, grow himself a goatee, come back 306 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,479 Speaker 1: and just smash holders three home runs five RBIs. He's 307 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: slugging six forty three and quite frankly, he's playing good 308 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: center field. This is a shortstop who was a glove 309 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: first shortstop, although he had some pop in his back 310 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: for a short stop that we have now transitioned over 311 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: to center field. Allowing Lewis Brinston to stay in triple A, 312 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: allow Lewis Brinston to get his confidence, allow Lewis Brinston 313 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: to work on his case per nine and walks per 314 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: nine and JT. Riddle's doing fine. Riddle is manning center field. Well, 315 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: Riddle's never gonna be someone that's going to give you 316 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: a three hundred average. He's not going to get on 317 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: base at a three point fifty clip. But he's had 318 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: some big home runs. The late inning home run against 319 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: the Cardinals today he had to go ahead home run, 320 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,959 Speaker 1: which at the end of the day was huge at 321 00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: that moment, especially for me personally, for Yamamoto's psyche. Give 322 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: him back the lead, after he had given it up 323 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: the inning prior. Good for go tea riddle, just good 324 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: for go tea riddle. My wife thinks that it looks 325 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: great by the way. She loves the go tea look JT. 326 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: Riddle with a nice little uh. I believe someone who 327 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: deserves some recognition for what he's doing. Let's get to 328 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: the dialogue piece. I was about to go on ESPN 329 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: Honolulu when I received a notification, and the notification was 330 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: something that I had feared my entire existence as a 331 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: Marlins fan. Prior to this stadium being built and prior 332 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 1: to me doing some research on the stadium agreement, a 333 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 1: major league team has gotten permission to basically seek out 334 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,479 Speaker 1: the first step for relocation. Because that's what it is. 335 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: That's what this is. You know, Tampa's never the government 336 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: officials there are never gonna let the Rays go and 337 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: do a half and half. Please. The players aren't gonna 338 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: allow that. Can you having to live in two different countries, 339 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: having to have twice as much rent, it's not happening. 340 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: But what this is is a pseudo attempt at being 341 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: creative with the full understanding that this is leading to relocation. 342 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 1: The only reason that I did not have to have 343 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: heart palpitations before going on ESPN was because it said 344 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: the rays and quite frankly, for all of the I 345 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: guess i'll say criticisms that I have with Jeffrey Lauria, 346 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: it's also the only reason I didn't have heart palpitations 347 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: before going on ESPN was because of that man. Because 348 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: that man, whether it was done in a way that 349 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: Miami likes it or I like it or anyone likes it, 350 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: was able to get a stadium for the Marlins. Now, 351 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: before I get to that, let me just reiterate, I 352 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: don't think that this hoins Hire playing in Tampa early 353 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: in the season and then in Montreal later in the 354 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: season and having a split would allow you to have 355 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: a stadium in Tampa that doesn't need a roof because 356 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: early in the season it shouldn't be too hot. I 357 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: don't think that this is gonna happen. It's awful logistics 358 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: for players, it's awful logistics for fans and for the club, 359 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: and to be honest, right, it's foolish, So it's not 360 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: gonna happen. But like I said, it did bring up 361 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: this conversation of what about if the Marlins were to 362 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: leave Miami. I decided I've had enough of that conversation, 363 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: so I decided to get my hands on the agreement 364 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: for Marlin's Park. It's public. You could do the same 365 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: the individuals that say, oh, Jeter and Sherman, they just 366 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: want to leave Miami. Oh, look at the attendance numbers. 367 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: They just want to leave Miami. Oh it's never gonna work. 368 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: You know, you could have done the same thing that 369 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: I did if you just decided to get in your 370 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: car and find it, or even some portions are available online. 371 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: But I got my hand on the agreement for Marlins 372 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: Park with the city officials in Major League Baseball, and 373 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: here are some notes. Number one non relocation agreement quote. 374 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: The team shall enter into a non relocation agreement that 375 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: will unconditionally bold highlight whatever you want to do with 376 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: that word, unconditionally require the team to maintain its Major 377 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: League Baseball franchise in the city of Miami for the 378 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: term of the management agreement. Remember management agreement for a second. 379 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,959 Speaker 1: The non relocation agreement shall require the team to operate 380 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: and maintain a Major League Baseball franchise within the baseball 381 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: stadium as its home stadium, and to play all of 382 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: its regular season and postseason home games, which there will 383 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: be some of soon enough at the baseball stadium. I 384 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: asked you to remember the words management agreement. Here's the 385 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: management agreement later on in the document, the county stadium 386 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: manager and if necessary, the city and it was, shall 387 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: enter into a management agreement which shall set forth the 388 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: terms for the exclusive right, authority, and responsibility of operation, management, 389 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: and use of the baseball Stadium by the stadium manager 390 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 1: the owners. The term of the management agreement shall be 391 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: thirty five years with two five year renewal periods. That is, 392 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: thirty five years from the point of execution of this document, 393 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: with options for forty five years. Basically, the only way 394 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: this happens before twenty forty seven is if Major League Baseball, 395 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: the Marlins, and the City of Miami all get the 396 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: same lawyers to somehow find a way to redo our 397 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: mend this contract. And guess what, that's not happening. That's 398 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: not happening because the Marlins themselves have just invested fifteen 399 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: million into the new stadium that they don't even own, 400 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: and many million more into their surrounding areas, trying to 401 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: bring back this fan base that's not happened with Major 402 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: League Baseball because Major League Baseball is already likely going 403 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: to lose a Southeast region in the Rays. They're definitely 404 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: not going to allow a huge market like Miami and 405 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: the gateway to the Caribbean and the South America's and 406 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: the international market to be closed off with their closest 407 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: team being in Georgia, and quite frankly, City of Miami's 408 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: not going to allow that because then they're gonna have 409 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: a huge, unleashed part of their city in Little Havana, 410 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,719 Speaker 1: a state of the art stadium because it is, it's 411 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: beautiful and it's state of the art, just sitting there 412 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: because there's nothing. I don't care if there's only ten 413 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: thousand people at a stadium every day, I don't care 414 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: if there's less than that. There is nothing that will 415 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: bring back as much money to the city of Miami 416 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: as having a professional baseball team within its borders. They're 417 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 1: not going anywhere. Quotes from the document. Organizations should now 418 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: enter listen to this. One shall not enter into any 419 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: contract or agreement or even make a request to Major 420 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: League Baseball to one relocate its franchise outside of the 421 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: city of Miami. In violation of CLOSB and two play 422 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: any regular season or playoff MLB home game in any 423 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: location other than the baseball stadium outside of extravagant circumstances. 424 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: What do you take away from that? They can't even 425 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: legally consider it. The Marlins cannot even legally consider moving 426 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: or asking Major League Baseball to get permission the way 427 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: that the Rays did until twenty forty seven. I've also heard, yeah, 428 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: but Danny, they didn't make the agreement within the ownership 429 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: that changes things, doesn't it. I mean, it's a whole, 430 00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: entire new partnership. No, no, it doesn't. From the document 431 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: sales or transfers, the Marlin shall have the right to 432 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: transfer ownership of the Marlins franchise during the term of 433 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 1: the lease to the extent permitted by Major League Baseball, 434 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,959 Speaker 1: provided that the new franchise listen agrees in writing prior 435 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: to the transfer to assume all of the Marlins obligation 436 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: under the lease, including the non relocation Agreement and ballpark 437 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: Management Agreement. They cannot go anywhere. Now. You may be 438 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: listening to me and you might say, you know, Danny brother, 439 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: you know the ghetto. I appreciate you, I love you. 440 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 1: I like listening to you. You're real big on this, 441 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: You're real excited. You know, you might be a little 442 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: bit too positive sometimes, But my guy, you're just someone 443 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: who was able to get their hands on a document. 444 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: You're not a lawyer. You can't read what it's telling you. Okay, 445 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: here's the beauty of Twitter. The beauty of Twitter is 446 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: that Barack Obama could answer you something and it's probably 447 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: just you know, his hands, his aid, that Dwayne Wade 448 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: can see something and respond to you, that anyone out 449 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: there with a blue check mark can verify it and 450 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: can discuss things with you. That this wouldn't have been 451 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: able to happen twenty or so years ago. David Samson, 452 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: who again I will say I have critiqued, responded to 453 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: my thread. These are his exact words. The Marlins are 454 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: in Miami for decades to come after twenty forty seven, 455 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 1: who knows? Then he added side note, thirty teams in 456 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, so a World Series win every thirty 457 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: years is expected, meaning we are covered statistically speaking, until 458 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 1: twenty fifty three. Okay, now you've gotten me to show 459 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 1: you the documents. Now you've gotten the person who wrote 460 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: the documents David Sampson at the time, who, for what 461 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: it's worth, I will take any opportunity to bash on 462 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: the current ordership in Marlins, because I mean, come on, 463 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: that helps his persona and that helps who he is clarifying, 464 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: validating and putting a stamp of approval on my thread 465 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: of tweets on my findings. The Marlins are not going anywhere. 466 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: The Marlins are not the Tampa Rays. The Marlins are 467 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: not going to be relocated to Montreal or Las Vegas 468 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: or whatever place you want to take them to. It's 469 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: not happening. So when someone tells you that, just point 470 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: them to my Twitter feed, or point them to this recording, 471 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: or point them to the legal documents. There's no fear 472 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: in that happening. Attendance can be awful, which for what 473 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: it's worth, I don't believe it will be, and there's 474 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: still no fear in it happening. The Miami Marlins are 475 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: here to stay. The Miami Marlins not have a top 476 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: ten ish because I can't say that with consensants, but 477 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: a top ten farm system in baseball. They absolutely do 478 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: objectively have a top five rotation in all of baseball. 479 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: They have young offensive Pieces and Cooper and Ramirez and 480 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: Anderson in outfa Ro, the Miami Marlins are here to stay. 481 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: They're not going anywhere, and they're dangerous on and off 482 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: the field. I'm just one guy. I clearly have my 483 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: own opinion on this franchise, on where they're going and 484 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: what they're doing. But oh man, that minority that's stuck 485 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: with the franchise and saw the plan they're getting louder. 486 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: Kevin Smith is about to come on. I hope you 487 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: enjoyed my section of it, but I need you to 488 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: stick for this next section because Kevin is great. Kevin 489 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: has his own interesting thoughts. Kevin is someone who, yeah, 490 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: I'll agree with, I agree with a lot, and then 491 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: there's times that I don't agree with him. But he 492 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: always can carry a good baseball conversation, always keep it respectful, 493 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: and he always has foundation behind what he's saying. So 494 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure that you're going to enjoy this upcoming interview. 495 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: Welcome back on. Like I left right before Kevin called in, 496 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,239 Speaker 1: Kevin actually didn't hear this, so he's going to hear 497 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: this for the first time.

First of all, I want to say, 520 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 2: you know, thank you Danny for having me on. You know, 521 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 2: I love the pod I love everything that you do 522 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 2: on Twitter. Everyone out there, I'm Kevin Smith. I'm actually 523 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 2: a pharmaceutical sales rep in the South Floor area. So 524 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 2: any doctors out there, anything like that, you maybe see 525 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 2: me on the regular, Yeah, just to hit on my 526 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 2: Marlins fandom. I've been a Marlins fan since I could 527 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 2: remember probably the ninety seventh season. I'm twenty seven years old, 528 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 2: so around when I was five or six years old, 529 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 2: that's the earliest I can remember watching the Marlins, loving 530 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 2: everything about the Marlins. I was the type of kid 531 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 2: that my perfect Tuesday night after you know, going to 532 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 2: baseball practice and all of that, was sitting down and 533 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 2: watching a Marlins game. And I actually used to score 534 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 2: the Marlins games. I used to get a score buck. 535 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 2: I used to buy a scorebuck at our local store 536 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 2: down the street. And I literally used to score every 537 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 2: single Marlins game. And I used to drive my mom crazy, 538 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 2: and I'd grab a bat and I would emulate every 539 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 2: single batter that would go up to plate as well. 540 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 2: I wasn't dude, I know, like I used to drive 541 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 2: my sister wild because you know, we would always sit 542 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 2: down for family dinner every night, and you know, my 543 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 2: dad wanted to watch Jeopardy. My sister wanted to watch 544 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 2: something you know that you know something probably on you know, 545 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 2: I don't know each channel, Bravo of something. And then 546 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 2: I always wanted to watch the Marlins game. And somehow, 547 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 2: some way, you know, eighty percent of the time, I 548 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 2: won the argument and we ended up watching the Marlins game. So, 549 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 2: you know, from as far as I can remember, you know, 550 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 2: I love the Marlins supportively. 551 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: I won't I won't put you, I won't put you 552 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: on the spot. But who was your favorite player to 553 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: like imitate their batting stance? 554 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 2: So I was actually a huge fan of doing Griffy 555 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 2: whenever they had a chance to play Griffy. Obviously as 556 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 2: a kid, whenever Griffy was on the TV, I loved 557 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 2: emulating his batting stands, even though I'm alrighty. So I 558 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 2: actually enjoyed the Lefties more because it was kind of 559 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 2: like more fun because you know, I wasn't a Lefties 560 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 2: so it kind of made it more difficult. But as 561 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 2: a Marlins player, my favorite Marlins player was in general 562 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:57,959 Speaker 2: was actually one of my favorites was Kevin Malar. I 563 00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 2: love the way Kevin Mallar played the game. I thought 564 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 2: he had so much fun while playing the game, and 565 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 2: then obviously he had the little batwiggle when he came 566 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 2: into the batter's box. So I mean those are probably 567 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 2: my favorites. But yeah, going off the Marlins fandom thing, 568 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 2: I have an interesting story too, real quick, I know 569 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,479 Speaker 2: we don't have that much time. I actually when I 570 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 2: was eleven years old, just to kind of give you 571 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 2: guys an idea of how big of a Marlins fan 572 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 2: I was growing up, I had a very serious surgery. 573 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 2: I had a tumor in my left leg that had 574 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 2: to be operated on. And this was during two thousand 575 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 2: and three, so they didn't know if the tumor was 576 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 2: cancerous if it was but nine So this actually the 577 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 2: surgery took place in October that year, and it actually 578 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 2: was the day of the surgery was the day of 579 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 2: the NLDS game against the Giants of the infamous Jeff 580 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 2: Conine sa Padadriuguez throw from my field, And the only 581 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,959 Speaker 2: thing I had in my mind, you know, I could 582 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 2: have asked the doctor, you know, how long is the 583 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 2: surgery going to be? I could have asked the doctor, 584 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 2: you know, how do I know if it's cancerous? All 585 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 2: this stuff like normal things to ask about a surgery. 586 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 2: I asked, Doc, am I going to be done by 587 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,919 Speaker 2: the time the first pitch goes for the playoff game? 588 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 2: That's all I cared about? And my mom was like, Kevin, 589 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 2: really like come on, like but that's really all I 590 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 2: cared about, And yeah, man, that is what I cared about. 591 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 2: And you want to hear something funny. For as much 592 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 2: as I love the Marlins and as many games as 593 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 2: I've watched the Marlins, I was actually able to watch 594 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 2: that game, but I had such bad nausea that they 595 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 2: gave me something for the nausea and I passed out. 596 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 2: And I missed that play live. So I've watched all 597 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 2: these games, but I will always only be able to 598 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 2: watch that play on a replay. I've never seen that live. 599 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 2: So I woke up and my mom kind of had 600 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 2: this weird look because she knew what I had just missed. 601 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 2: And I asked her, like, did we win? She's like, yes, 602 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,879 Speaker 2: we won, but tell me about this series, like one 603 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,240 Speaker 2: of the biggest plays in Marlin's history. 604 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: But yeah, okay, actually missed the alu the alup play 605 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 1: in left field, So again I'm telling you we're brothers. 606 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: We're brothers. I missed the Louis Castillo foul ball and 607 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: and my father was out here yelling about something, whatever 608 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: the case may be, and I don't know, probably upset 609 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: that Alu was upset. And I come back and I 610 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: see it. So yeah, that same play that gets replayed 611 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 1: every single time. I didn't see it. I never saw 612 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 1: it live. By the way, I because my wife would 613 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 1: kill me. Okay, before I rudely interjected and I asked 614 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: you who your favorite stance was.

Yeah, but we 673 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 2: know obviously the talent may not be there, so you're 674 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 2: not gonna win as many games as you want. But 675 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 2: you know, I'm one of those as you go out 676 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,279 Speaker 2: and you try to win every day. You know, I'm 677 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 2: not gonna be like, oh, I'm so happy we lost, 678 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 2: you know, because we're one step closer to getting you know, Torquoisen. 679 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 2: You know, like that's not me, you know, but you know, 680 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 2: you've got to be as a Mollins fan, and I 681 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 2: know it's tougher than most people think and all that, 682 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 2: but you know, you gotta be happy with what's going on, 683 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 2: like you know, and it's one of those that it's like, 684 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 2: you know, obviously, and this weekend I was with my 685 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 2: family and they're like, oh, well, you know, look at 686 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 2: what Yelich is doing. And then of course I go 687 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 2: into the whole splits and I tell him, you know, 688 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 2: he never would have done this at Morning's park, YadA, YadA, YadA. 689 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,320 Speaker 2: And yes, it sucks because you see guys like that 690 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 2: that you know, are young, they're flourishing, they're doing great things, 691 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 2: but they're building it the right way this time. You know, 692 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 2: when you go and see an Edward Cabrera getting you know, 693 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 2: he's twenty one years old. He's already being promoted to 694 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 2: to double A. You know when you see, you know, 695 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 2: what Isan Diaz is doing in triple A. You know, 696 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 2: we see what Monte Harrison's doing in Triple A. We 697 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 2: see what every day when we watch Tomorrow where there's 698 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,320 Speaker 2: just a new guy in the majors dropping six, seven innings, 699 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 2: one run baseball like it's it's astounding. The pitching depth 700 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 2: is absolutely astounding, and you know, it's one of those 701 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:17,280 Speaker 2: things where you know, yeah, we had all these like amazing, Okay, 702 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 2: not amazing, but you know, young flourishing players like Ozuna 703 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,959 Speaker 2: and Yelich Stanton, But what happens when they go down, 704 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,239 Speaker 2: what happens when they get hurt, no one would be 705 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 2: able to come and even come close to refilling their role. 706 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,240 Speaker 2: And that's what they're doing right now with the Marlins, 707 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 2: is they're they're stacking talent. And it's kind of it's 708 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,320 Speaker 2: kind of the same concept to where, you know, if 709 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 2: there's any college football fans listening, it's the same way 710 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 2: to where you stack talent. Doesn't matter if you have 711 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 2: stud sophomores at stud sophomores and freshmen at running back 712 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 2: you want to go out and get another five star 713 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 2: running back the next cycle, because you're just stacking talent 714 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 2: on top of talent. And that's what the Marlins are 715 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,400 Speaker 2: doing right now. They're finding ways to build where they're saying, 716 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna have so much depth throughout our 717 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 2: system that you know what if we if we end 718 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 2: up developing guys and they become All Stars and if 719 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 2: they get hurt, we're not screwed because you know, we 720 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,879 Speaker 2: got another guy that we can call up and yeah, 721 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 2: he may not give us the same production, but you 722 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 2: know we're gonna be okay. So you know, whereas the 723 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 2: Marlins scenes in the past, you know, yeah, you know 724 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 2: they you know, they had their moments and you know 725 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 2: they you know, the Stanton home run season was a 726 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 2: great season. It was a lot of fun, but you 727 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 2: know what, we didn't have the pitching, and that's what 728 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 2: they're doing now, and winning always starts with pitching. 729 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 1: The Marlins had really nice individual performances that all together 730 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: yielded seventy five win teams. You know, it wasn't there 731 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: wasn't depth. There wasn't enough ability to come up if 732 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: there was an injury. There wasn't enough pitching at all, 733 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 1: even the ones that were healthy after the tragedy of 734 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 1: Jose It was it was a difficult band aid to rip. 735 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 1: But what I'm getting from what you're saying is that 736 00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,760 Speaker 1: once they did it, look at the kind of fruits 737 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,879 Speaker 1: that are coming from it, and we're starting to see 738 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 1: it come into play. 739 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 2: Like Danny, like, look at what just happened like today, 740 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,959 Speaker 2: Look it would just happen this weekend. You go into 741 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:15,759 Speaker 2: Philadelphia into probably one of the most hitter friendly parks. 742 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:17,800 Speaker 2: Like I was one of those. I was one of 743 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 2: those guys going into this series that I was like, 744 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:21,479 Speaker 2: this is this is setting up bad? 745 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: It could because you have lost what five. 746 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 2: Four or five straight. You know, like we got you know, 747 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 2: the young guys going, we got Sandy going, we got Yamamoto, 748 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 2: he's not going to keep up what he's doing. You know, 749 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 2: we got Eliezer. You know, like it's gonna set up 750 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 2: for a bad series. You know, a Phillies are pissed. 751 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 2: You know they're gonna come out and just kind of 752 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 2: wail on us. And you know they went in there. 753 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 2: Sandy threw almost eight innings of one run ball. It's 754 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,280 Speaker 2: twenty three years old, els or the next day, five 755 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 2: innings re runs twenty four years old. Today Jordan Almamoto, 756 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 2: five innings, two run ball, like in probably one of 757 00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 2: the most hitter friendly parks in baseball. That's astounding, Like 758 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 2: you don't see that, like, you know, like it's and 759 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,840 Speaker 2: then you got Zach Gallon doing the same thing in 760 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 2: Saint Louis. You know, they're doing the same thing in 761 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 2: Saint Louis. Like it's it's crazy that day in and 762 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,839 Speaker 2: day out, you see a new guy doing something, just 763 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 2: throwing him in the mix and he just goes out 764 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 2: there and gives good baseball. He goes out there and 765 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,480 Speaker 2: throws strikes, which is what they've been doing, by the way, 766 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 2: except for today Yamamota had a little bit of struggle 767 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 2: with the strike zone. But you know, that's the thing 768 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 2: you see with these guys too. They're coming up here 769 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 2: and they're throwing strikes, throwing strikes, they're attacking the zone 770 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,800 Speaker 2: and they're trying to get out, and it's really refreshing because, yeah, 771 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,840 Speaker 2: we had the hitters over the years with Stanton Yelich Azuna, 772 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 2: but our pitching was absolutely god awful. Chen was our 773 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 2: third starter at one point, let's just put that into perspective. 774 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was starter one year as well. 775 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 2: I mean, like kick them on, like when that's where 776 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 2: you're at, like you have some serious issues. And the 777 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 2: fact that they've turned this over in almost less than 778 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,720 Speaker 2: two years, like it's astounding, Like it's it's it's crazy, 779 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:10,319 Speaker 2: Like it's understated how amazing it's been. You know, the 780 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 2: fact that you're a top five array in baseball after 781 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 2: that was what your second or third starter was a 782 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,760 Speaker 2: couple of years ago. Like, they don't get enough credit, 783 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 2: and they won't unfortunately until they start, you know, making 784 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,880 Speaker 2: runs at the playoffs and people are really going to 785 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 2: start paying attention. You know, we know how it is. 786 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 2: But you know what, more and more people they are 787 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,279 Speaker 2: in the Miami area, they're starting to take notice. They're 788 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 2: starting to pay attention, and it's just going to get 789 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 2: even better. When es Son gets called up, when Monte 790 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 2: gets called up, when all these guys start coming up 791 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 2: and they start to realize, Hey, you know, maybe Lewis 792 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 2: was only one player of four players we got back 793 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:53,479 Speaker 2: in that trade. You know these other guys. Yeah, maybe 794 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 2: Lewis was the fourth worst player we got in that trade. 795 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,319 Speaker 2: You know, we really don't know that yet, and you know, 796 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 2: and I still high hopes for Lewis, but you know, 797 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 2: like it's just people need to give it time. But 798 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 2: there's definitely really really good things to be excited about. 799 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,800 Speaker 1: Absolutely, and that's to when we're looking about the starting pitching, 800 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 1: the two best arms in the system might not even 801 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 1: be up yet. I mean, Sixos Sanchez and Edward Cabrera 802 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,600 Speaker 1: might be the best arms at the end of the day, exactly. 803 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,360 Speaker 1: And then you look at even guys in lower systems 804 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: like a Jordan Holloway, a Braxton Garrett at Trevor Rodgers. 805 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 1: I mean, the depth there is ridiculous, and the offensive 806 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: pieces are gonna come. Isan Diaz having a great year, 807 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,919 Speaker 1: Monte Harrison doing the same even though he was hurt 808 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 1: for a bit. You know, Lewis Brinson is still going 809 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 1: to be that question mark when JJ Blade gets here, 810 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 1: when Cameron Meisner gets here. I mean, are there are 811 00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,440 Speaker 1: bats that will be coming within two to three years 812 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,360 Speaker 1: and some immediately coming within this year and the arms 813 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:51,440 Speaker 1: are there already. So yeah, I think absolutely discussing it 814 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:55,239 Speaker 1: is correct. It is disgusting and and I'm excited for it, 815 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:59,280 Speaker 1: and people are going to start realizing it and figuring 816 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 1: it out, and you could already see the wave turning 817 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,440 Speaker 1: a little bit on Twitter and even with the national 818 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: media and some national writers are picking up on this. 819 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 1: So it's it's exciting. It's exciting to see. Now we 820 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,759 Speaker 1: have like five more minutes together and I want to 821 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,719 Speaker 1: come up. I want to finish up with the conversation 822 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,400 Speaker 1: that you brought up onto Twitter, and it went just 823 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,720 Speaker 1: really well with what I was speaking about today. So again, 824 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 1: I know you didn't hear my first portion, but I 825 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,719 Speaker 1: was speaking about the fact that the Marlins aren't going 826 00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 1: to be relocating anytime soon, that they aren't a you know, 827 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 1: Tampa raised situation because of the agreement that they have. 828 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 1: David Sampson then also validated and clarified that the fact 829 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 1: that the Marlins, like the first year that they'd be 830 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,239 Speaker 1: able to leave is twenty forty seven. Like, I don't 831 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:41,359 Speaker 1: know how old you're going to be. Well, you told 832 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,280 Speaker 1: me you were twenty seven, but I'm not good with math. 833 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 1: But we'd be in our we'd be in our fifties 834 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:50,399 Speaker 1: basically at the time that the Marlins could could move out, right, 835 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, like doctorate here. But I can't do math. Yeah, 836 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 1: we'd be in our fifties. You brought up the conversation 837 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 1: and you it was great about what you would do, 838 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,120 Speaker 1: and you asked Twitter what you would do if your 839 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: team leaves, like do you do you follow that team? 840 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,800 Speaker 1: Obviously not physically, but you follow that team from a distance. 841 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 1: Do you take over a new team? I wonder where 842 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 1: that thought came from and what your perspective is on that, 843 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:17,880 Speaker 1: because I really thought that it was interesting, and a 844 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: lot of people gave you feedback. 845 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:22,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we actually I actually had close to 846 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 2: like one hundred and eighty votes, and I think the 847 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 2: one that went out was to continue to follow the team, 848 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 2: you know, the one that you know, just even if 849 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 2: they leave, you continue. 850 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:31,759 Speaker 1: To follow them. 851 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,160 Speaker 2: I just it's something that I've always worried about. You know, 852 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 2: if you're if you're a huge fan of a team, 853 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 2: you know, you never want to hear rumblings, even if 854 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 2: they're just you know, our articles for fun about like oh, 855 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,759 Speaker 2: you know what if the Marlins moved to Montreal? And now, 856 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 2: obviously we know through your awesome research that you know 857 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 2: that can't happen for quite some time. But it's something 858 00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 2: that we always worry about. You know, you go, you know, 859 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,880 Speaker 2: I go to games and there's like, you know, seven 860 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,279 Speaker 2: eight thousand people there and you have to think you 861 00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,280 Speaker 2: got to take your Marlins glasses off for a second 862 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 2: and say this is not good, not good for business, 863 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,439 Speaker 2: you know, and you know it's one of those things 864 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:05,880 Speaker 2: that you know, it worries. I mean, I was just 865 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,759 Speaker 2: kind of posing the fact to myself kind of and 866 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 2: they kind of want to throw it on Twitter. And 867 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,799 Speaker 2: you know, for me, in my perspective on it, you know, 868 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,800 Speaker 2: I just think I'm too emotionally attached to this team 869 00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,960 Speaker 2: in general, like even you know Brian, people like Brian 870 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 2: Anderson or who or have a already, I'm too attached 871 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 2: to where you know, I can't just follow a new team, 872 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,360 Speaker 2: you know, and I've been following this team since I 873 00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 2: was a little child. Yes, the city may change, the 874 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,960 Speaker 2: city name may change, but to me, it's still the 875 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 2: same team that I grew up with. And to me, 876 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,680 Speaker 2: it also matters this circumstance if the Marlin do everything 877 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,880 Speaker 2: in their power, and they've already started changing stadium, you know, 878 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,800 Speaker 2: renovations and stuff like that. You know, they sign good players, 879 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,239 Speaker 2: you know, they keep guys around and people still don't 880 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,759 Speaker 2: come out to the stadium. You know, I'm not going 881 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,120 Speaker 2: to have any ill will I'm obviously gonna understand from 882 00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 2: a business standpoint is they got to get out of town, 883 00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,720 Speaker 2: right and you know, I you know, at that point, 884 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 2: it's it's a given. I will continue to be a 885 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 2: fan of that team. Now, if it's one of those 886 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,840 Speaker 2: things where it's like you know, it's randomly, you know, 887 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,520 Speaker 2: people's more people start coming on board, you know, the 888 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,280 Speaker 2: fans start to come out, you know, you know obviously, 889 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,839 Speaker 2: but if that were to happen, they probably don't move. 890 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 2: So that's what I'm saying. You know, usually you know, 891 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 2: from what I've seen from Jeter and company, they're doing 892 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:21,880 Speaker 2: everything that they can. I think they are going to 893 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,840 Speaker 2: be one of those ownerships that's really going to try hard, 894 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,239 Speaker 2: and they've already have to to gain the trust of 895 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 2: the Marlins fans. But yeah, me, like I know you 896 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,360 Speaker 2: said that I would just be a fan of a sport. 897 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,280 Speaker 2: I think I all need to have a team. I'm 898 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 2: one of those guys where I love baseball, I really do, 899 00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:44,120 Speaker 2: but I struggle sometimes just sitting down and watching a 900 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,920 Speaker 2: random baseball game and just sitting there and watching nine 901 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:48,520 Speaker 2: innings of. 902 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,760 Speaker 1: Keep some investment that invested. 903 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 2: Yes, right, Yes, And it's the same with a lot 904 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,680 Speaker 2: of sports for me. You know, football is probably one 905 00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,720 Speaker 2: of those. I'm not because obviously you have fantasy football. 906 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,280 Speaker 2: It brings you a little bit more excitement to random 907 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 2: games that you're watching. But you know, baseball, as much 908 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 2: as I love it, you know, I definitely need to 909 00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:10,239 Speaker 2: be emotionally invested in a team. But yeah, I would 910 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 2: probably just continue to follow the team no matter where 911 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:13,279 Speaker 2: when at this. 912 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,880 Speaker 1: Point, Yeah, I think that my I think I have 913 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,320 Speaker 1: like caveats to my answer, right, I think your point 914 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,240 Speaker 1: was really well illustrated. It depends on how the team leaves. 915 00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:26,400 Speaker 1: So for instance, when Lauria was kind of basically threatening 916 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:30,320 Speaker 1: to leave if Miami didn't give him a stadium around ten, 917 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,840 Speaker 1: twenty eleven, twousand and nine, that's a much different taste 918 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,719 Speaker 1: than what this current ownership is doing. You know, they're 919 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 1: investing in money, They're putting money into a stadium that 920 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 1: they don't even own, They're investing into the community. If 921 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,680 Speaker 1: by twenty forty seven, I don't even know, Sherman would 922 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:47,839 Speaker 1: still be here as the owner. By twenty forty seven. 923 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,440 Speaker 1: But if by twenty forty seven Miami has just failed 924 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,799 Speaker 1: the Marlins, even if they've won a championship or whatever 925 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 1: the case is, and they leave, I think I would 926 00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: still follow that product, because I mean, come on, that's 927 00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 1: half of my life that I've been back one organization. 928 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,399 Speaker 1: But it was like a Jeffrey Laurie situation, then I 929 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,399 Speaker 1: think I would, you know, wait until there's a team here, 930 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,880 Speaker 1: and then obviously whoever has Miami in front of their 931 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,240 Speaker 1: name they got me. Or I would follow the sport 932 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,400 Speaker 1: in general. Now something that maybe we haven't even thought of, 933 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,200 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure if someone mentioned it in Twitter, 934 00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,640 Speaker 1: but it's very related to the Rays situation. The reason 935 00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 1: your conversation is so interesting, at least part of it 936 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,319 Speaker 1: is the Rays might be in this situation and if 937 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:29,680 Speaker 1: Miami and the Marlins can really capitalize on being South 938 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,759 Speaker 1: Florida's only team again, and I know that that's very 939 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 1: sad to hear if you're a Raised fan or you know, 940 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 1: we'll see. Like I said in my section, I don't 941 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,080 Speaker 1: think this whole entire split team thing is going to 942 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 1: happen split city. I think no chance. I think this 943 00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 1: is just the first step. This is a pseudo creative 944 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 1: step towards relocation. That's that's my gut. Miami is then again, 945 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,759 Speaker 1: you know, not the Florida Marlins, but really they are, 946 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,600 Speaker 1: and it would be interesting because then the Rays would 947 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,399 Speaker 1: have to the fa. 948 00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,000 Speaker 2: See if they can garner some of that attention exactly 949 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,000 Speaker 2: from Tampa. 950 00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:08,240 Speaker 1: Exactly, and if they can, I mean, it's it's beneficial 951 00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 1: to the fish. And that's sad to say for people 952 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:13,120 Speaker 1: that are raised fans, but it's an interesting concept because 953 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,320 Speaker 1: as soon as you poise that question, you know, I 954 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 1: thought about myself and then now I'm thinking, Wow, the 955 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 1: race might actually be in real life in this kind 956 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:24,080 Speaker 1: of hypothetical, and the Marlins are the closest thing. Yeah, 957 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:28,319 Speaker 1: it's it's a very it's a very interesting situation and 958 00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,480 Speaker 1: it's the one thing that I guess we can thank 959 00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,440 Speaker 1: Lauria and Samson for, even if it was done in 960 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,879 Speaker 1: a way that we might not agree with, the fact 961 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,080 Speaker 1: that the Marlins are going to be here so at 962 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,080 Speaker 1: least twenty forty seven is something we should most likely 963 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:41,959 Speaker 1: be very proud of now that it looks like they're 964 00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:45,160 Speaker 1: in somewhat competent hands, at least on the biggest off 965 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:46,000 Speaker 1: side and I'm the bus. 966 00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,399 Speaker 2: Well, thank you Lauria and Sam for that one. 967 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,120 Speaker 1: Thank you Laura and Sampson for that party gift. Even 968 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 1: if you know it's okay, I mean, they made a 969 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 1: lot of money, so they're they're perfectly fine with the 970 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,120 Speaker 1: way that things ended here, all right, Kevin. So I 971 00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,359 Speaker 1: will let you go back to, you know, your beauty wife, 972 00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 1: who is amazing. Right, you said all the right things. 973 00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,319 Speaker 1: I will go back to my beautiful wife as well, 974 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,520 Speaker 1: who's also amazing. But before that, let the people know 975 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,279 Speaker 1: where they can find you on Twitter, because I'm sure 976 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,200 Speaker 1: that after hearing this, they're going to want to talk 977 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:13,440 Speaker 1: to you. 978 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:18,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, guys, my Twitter handle is Smith thirty one keV 979 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 2: on Twitter.
