1
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: Fish and Filtered, Episode fifty eight. We're back. It's been

2
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: a minute. We had Isaac on with Kyle Seelof and

3
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: we have a very special guest. Very excited to have

4
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: Billy Gill on. Isaac.

5
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: It's up.

6
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: It's been a minute, but glad to be back at it.

7
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm very excited to have mister Billy Gilli from

8
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 3: the Dan Levatard Show on. Obviously it's not been going

9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 3: great for the Miami Marlins, but a lot of things

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,319
Speaker 3: going on in the South Florida sports market, so I'm

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: excited to pick his brain on a few things.

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: Really, it's early. It's early. It's what's sixty two. We're good.

13
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: Don't worry, there's plenty of time to turn it around.

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 3: Isaac.

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: How's everything been doing. We had you on, I want

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: to say, pretty early on when we started this podcast,

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: and we're getting you back on for the second time.

18
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me again. I've missed you guys.

19
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: You've been watching the Marlins, I think for this season,

20
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: just talk takers through what your thoughts have been. And

21
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: that's been on a world wind of a season. They

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: just took two out of three against the Detroit Tigers,

23
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: so that's a good way down into the weekend series win.

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: They gone the.

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: Mets, they almost won four in a row had they

26
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: not had a you know, regular kind of appearance by

27
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 2: the bullpen. But that's fine. You know, we're trending upwards,

28
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: undefeated in the last two So things are going well

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: for the Marlins, are they not. I feel like the

30
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: vibe is down right now. I feel like you guys

31
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: are not super high on the Marlins and maybe making

32
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: a second playoff appearance in two seasons, Like you don't

33
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: think this is going to happen.

34
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 3: Well, you know, the president Baseball Operations, following the trade

35
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: of their established alstar, said it himself, we are unlikely

36
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: to make the postseason this year. The Marlins are currently

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: nineteen games under five hundred, eighteen games behind the Philadelphia Phillies.

38
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: You're right, Billy, there's a lot of games left. But yeah,

39
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: I would agree with mister Bendix that it is unlikely. Unfortunately,

40
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: and I do want to hear from you. Obviously. There's

41
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: a lot of things going on right now, the Panthers

42
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: making a playoff run. The heat recently got eliminated. But

43
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 3: watching it from AFAR, you see that trade go down

44
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: you know the direction this team is going in. It

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 3: seems like again and again, but what is your thought

46
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: on this happening? Just so a year after the Marlins

47
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 3: made the postseason.

48
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: It was definitely disappointing. I mean, you heard rumblings that

49
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: maybe the Padres were interested in getting Lozardo and a

50
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: Rise together in a deal, and then Lozardo got hurt

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 2: and you thought, Okay, well, maybe maybe this is just rumors,

52
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: just speculation. Maybe they're hoping that, you know, this is

53
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: going to be a team that's going to want to

54
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: rebuild and they could just get players from the Marlins,

55
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: and then it didn't really happen. It was weird. I

56
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: thought headed into this season in the offseason after they

57
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: make the playoffs, that there weren't many key additions, and

58
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: you wondered, why aren't you trying to improve on a

59
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 2: team that surprised many that they made the playoffs. And

60
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: I think that you thought, Okay, they're a nice team,

61
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: they're probably not going to make the playoffs. Then when

62
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: they did, you thought, okay, maybe they're heading in the

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: right direction. We can add to this. But no significant

64
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: upgrades were made there, and now I think we're seeing

65
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: why I think I don't want to say necessarily that

66
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: they were hoping that the team got off to a

67
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: bad start, but I think the team getting off to

68
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: a bad start definitely accelerated any rebuild plans that they had,

69
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: which is disappointing because you have a guy who won

70
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: his second straight batting title, you know, first batting title

71
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: obviously as a member of the Marlins, and you've seen

72
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: what he's been able to do in San Diego so far.

73
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: It's almost like he got off to a slow start

74
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: here and was you know, he's getting hot and now

75
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: has had a resurgence of sorts and kind of is

76
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: back to batting champion form. And I think it's just

77
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: disappointing because we've gone through this time and time again

78
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: with the Marlins, and you always hope that it's different.

79
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: And I mean, one of my concerns is they're gonna

80
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: be sellers now, right, what's the point of keeping a

81
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: lot of these guys? But to what extent, Like is

82
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: there going to be someone on this team that they

83
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: keep to be a cornerstone? And then you look at,

84
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: you know, their young pitching. Are they going to trade

85
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: the pitching so that they can then upgrade for the future.

86
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: You have people like Sandy who have you know, favorable deals,

87
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: but also Sandy's missing this entire season obviously because of

88
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: his Tommy John surgery, and you don't know. You assume

89
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: he's going to come back and be close to the

90
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: form that he was at last year or you know,

91
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 2: two years ago when he won the Cy Young. But

92
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: you're also if you're starting a rebuild, I guess, and

93
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: it sounds bad, but what's the point of keeping him,

94
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: you know, because by the time they turn this thing around,

95
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: what is he going to be and is it worth

96
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: even keeping him? But then you trade banning champion, you

97
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: potentially could trade a cy Young winner. How do you

98
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 2: how do you keep people interested in going to these games?

99
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: So it's tough. I mean, we've been here before. You

100
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: were hoping I wasn't going to happen again, especially right

101
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: after a postseason run. But here we are.

102
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me ask you this. Obviously, this has happened

103
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,239
Speaker 3: many times in your lifetime, in my lifetime twenty eighteen,

104
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, twenty thirteen, did you continue to go to

105
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 3: these games? Did you bring your because hey, they're trying

106
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: to bring you and families to the ballpark, regardless that

107
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: they don't know who's plenty second base? Would you continue?

108
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: Did you continue to go to these ballgames?

109
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: So that's the hard part, right because like what can

110
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 2: I actually do? I mean, I could not go to

111
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 2: the games, right, but I love baseball and this is

112
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: the baseball team in my hometown. So this is how

113
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 2: you kind of can continue to have this stuff if

114
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: you want to go to the game yourself, or I

115
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: have a young family, take my family to see baseball games,

116
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: Like we're going to go, and you know, I have

117
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: a three year old. She doesn't know the difference. She

118
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: wants to go, and she wants to see, you know,

119
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 2: the roostar race, and she wants to see Billy Lamarlin

120
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: and she wants to have fun. So I mean, we'll

121
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: still go. It's just it's hard to It's just it's

122
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: a hard ass to continue to ask fans to come

123
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: to the game, and you know, be patient with us,

124
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: particularly when we went through this reset when there was

125
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: a new ownership group and now Peter Bendix comes in

126
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: and he's you know, trying to put his imprint on

127
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: this team and rebuild the organization and the farm system

128
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 2: and basically start from scratch yet again. But it's hard

129
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: to I think, ask the fans, and he's new to

130
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: this situation obviously, but we've heard it so many times,

131
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: like just trust us, we'll turn this around, and you

132
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: can ask for the benefit of the doubt, but it's

133
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 2: hard to keep giving it, you know, even though it's

134
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: different people doing it, it's just kind of a process

135
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 2: that happens over and over again.

136
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: Right, So so you personally, sorry, Kevin, So you personally

137
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 3: you don't. You don't shun them the way maybe Mike

138
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: Ryan does because he will never go back to another game.

139
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: I don't think from what I.

140
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gone. He's been to the Cleveland Er and

141
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: then I don't remember what it was changed its name to,

142
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: but he's been to like that area. I mean, look,

143
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: it's a fun thing, but you know, you're kind of

144
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: going knowing I'm going to take in an event, but

145
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: probably gonna leave disappointed today. So right, but if they

146
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: win Free Walker Juniors the next day, so that's a plus.

147
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: Did he have you guys gotten to Wapper Juniors yet?

148
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 3: No? No?

149
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: Why?

150
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were gonna ask you this as well. I'm

151
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: not a big burger king guy, I don't really live

152
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: close to when I live close to Wendy's, McDonald's, a

153
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: Chipotle tho, mainly the Chipotle. I don't really go to

154
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: a drive through Burger King too often.

155
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: Let your hair down, Isaac. Have a Wapper Junior from

156
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,119
Speaker 2: time to time. They're free. It costs you nothing.

157
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: Well, it cost me gass to get there.

158
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: I guess just playing. You don't drive anywhere where you

159
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: pass a Burger King. That seems impossible to me.

160
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 3: You know, when they win the series open with Lozardo

161
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 3: on the Mount on Friday, I will go on Saturday

162
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 3: and get a freaking Wapper Junior for free.

163
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: Billy, I appreciate that. I don't know why I appreciate that.

164
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: I don't work for Burger King. I really have any

165
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: best interest in this.

166
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: But have you had the Wapper Junior?

167
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:13,119
Speaker 3: Billy?

168
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: Of course? Yes? Look at me. Of course I've had

169
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: a Wapper Junior. Yes, almost every time. I will say,

170
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: you know what I'm gonna get? I like free things, Okay,

171
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: so I will go and have a Wapper Junior, even

172
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: if I've already eaten, because I like the idea of

173
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: getting one over on someone. Not that I am, but

174
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 2: I go and I order my you know, Wapper Junior.

175
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 2: Think about the Wapper Junior is this It's not super

176
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: filling on its own, right, So then you kind of

177
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 2: have to get more things from Burger King or say,

178
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: you know what, this is just gonna be a little

179
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: Wapper Junior snack. And I'm like Isaac pass many a

180
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: Burger King on my daily routine. So it's not that

181
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: much of an inconvenience for me.

182
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 3: But anyway to get away from some food options for now,

183
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 3: we can get back to that. I'm curious, as you mentioned,

184
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 3: like which one of these guys are they gonna keeve you? Sandy?

185
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: I agree with you.

186
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 3: I would be very surprised if he finishes out his

187
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 3: contract as a member of the Marlins. I think if

188
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 3: you had to choose one guy that they should hold

189
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 3: on to through this, through this process, through this build,

190
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it, one offensive player and

191
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 3: one pitcher, who would you like to see live through

192
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: this rebuild?

193
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: I don't even know, because I think people would say

194
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: they want Jazz, right, but is Jazz kind of sit

195
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 2: around during a rebuild and be content with that and

196
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 2: finish it?

197
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 3: Who cares? He has no like?

198
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 2: Who cares, I know, but I'm saying, yeah, who cares.

199
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: But Chris Jelis did not want to any kind of

200
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: had a fit and they traded him as a result of that.

201
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: So I'm not saying Jazz would do something like that.

202
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: But like it's hard to find people who I mean younger,

203
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: I guess is better, right because the younger guys maybe

204
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: you're happy that they've made it to the majors and

205
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: they know that they have their career ahead of them

206
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: and may buy in. But we also don't know who

207
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: the manager is going to be, right because you saw

208
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: obviously the reports that Skip asks for them to kind

209
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: of and I guess as a mutual decision void the

210
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: option at the end of this year. So is Skip

211
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: gonna want to stick around for a rebuild? Is he

212
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: going to want to go to a place like I

213
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: don't know, Saint Louis if things aren't going well there

214
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: and manage the Cardinals, Like there's just a lot of

215
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: factors here that need to kind of play out, and

216
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: it does take, you know, certain type of individuals to

217
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: want to stick around for a rebuild. So I guess

218
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 2: you want people that are going to be there, that

219
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: are willing to be part of it. There aren't going

220
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: to be malcontents, but you also understand if they if

221
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: they don't want to be Yeah.

222
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: Right, I mean I think the ide old guy would

223
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: be Yuri. You know, he's plenty of years left. Offensively, though,

224
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: it's definitely an interesting question because you know, like a

225
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: Brian Delacruz for example, that's a guy.

226
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 3: Who you could trade.

227
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: Teams would give you something back, but at the same

228
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: time you're going to keep him. Teams view him as

229
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: a fourth outfielder, and then you know, it really depends

230
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: when you get back in these trades because the farm

231
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: system right now is not the greatest, it's improving.

232
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: Well, the crazy thing is, Offensively, you would have set

233
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: a rise and he said he wanted to be here.

234
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: So if you would have locked him up to a

235
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: deal in the off season, you could say, Okay, we'll

236
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 2: keep our eyes, we'll keep Urie, and we'll build around

237
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: the two of them. But obviously he's also the most

238
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: valuable piece of your team and the one that you're

239
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 2: going to get the most back for, and time will

240
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: tell on that. But you know, you saw mixed reviews

241
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: on what kind of hal that was. You had some

242
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: people saying like, Wow, this is a really good deal,

243
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: and then other people saying, well, the second best asset

244
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: in there is a fourth outfielder at best, which is

245
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 2: not what you want for a batting champion when you're

246
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: rebuilding a team.

247
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: So yeah, and I think you know, Isaac and I

248
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,599
Speaker 1: said it a couple of times, they were going to

249
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: trade our eyes. They should have done it at the

250
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: winter meetings, but that's that's long gone at this point.

251
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: The timing seems so odd to me. And again, maybe

252
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 2: they have a larger plan and maybe this was the

253
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: best deal that was out there, but you would think

254
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: either trade him in the off season or you wait

255
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 2: until a team's desperate at the deadline and hope that

256
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: you get a better deal from a team that's trying

257
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: to make the playoffs. But when you trade him on

258
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: May third or whatever day it was, it's kind of

259
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: like we couldn't have waited to see if there was

260
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: a better deal out there, Like, are you afraid he's

261
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: gonna get hurt? Do you think he's gonna fall off

262
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: and he's peaked and you're trying to sell high on him,

263
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: Like the timing on that one just seemed really odd.

264
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 2: And I know that it's, you know, obviously his first

265
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 2: time in the position, but I thought that saying the

266
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: thing that everybody knows, but saying out loud when you're

267
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: the president of baseball operations, it's unlikely we're going to

268
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 2: make the playoffs just felt weird to tell a fan

269
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: base a month in, Hey, we're punting on this season.

270
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: It's done. Yeah, but come out because we're giving away

271
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: you know, windbreakers right back.

272
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 3: I think it was a nomination of all those things, Billy.

273
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: I think they didn't quite value a rise maybe as

274
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 3: much as some of us did. I think they were

275
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 3: worried that maybe something would happen in the interim between

276
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 3: now and the trade deadline. And the way he quoted it,

277
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 3: he said, this was an offer that we could not

278
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: walk past. And to me, when you're also paying the

279
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 3: Padres eight million dollars for this man to play against

280
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: you for the rest of the year, and that was

281
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 3: the hall you get, that was the offer that you

282
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 3: could not walk past. It makes it seem like that

283
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 3: was the only team he called because really, like you said,

284
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 3: the second best, as said, you could be a starter.

285
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: You see how he develops another guy first base DH

286
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: type and another one who people just do not like,

287
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: the Korean pitcher, and then Dylan head is she's extremely

288
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: high risk, high reward. So for me, I'm obviously I'm

289
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: not in that room. I'm not making these decisions for

290
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 3: a reason. But you'd seem you'd want to get a

291
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 3: little bit more of a of a higher floor guy

292
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: in return than the four guys that they got.

293
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: Well, especially with the history of trades that I mean

294
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 2: you saw, you know, last week going around social media

295
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 2: just kind of checking it on the Yellows trade and

296
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: where everybody is there, like with a history of missus

297
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: and it's not them, but a history of recent misses.

298
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 2: When you trade your biggest stars, hey, yeah, you have

299
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: a skeptical fan base that wonders if it's going to

300
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: happen again.

301
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. And our founder, mister Eli Susman asked Bendix that verbatim.

302
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 3: You know, you see all these trades happen, and almost

303
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: none of them turn out well or favorable for the

304
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: selling teams, Like what trades you look at and say, hey,

305
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 3: they'll work like that? And he went out and said, well,

306
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: we have a lot of analysts that say that we

307
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 3: will accrue a lot of value from these four guys.

308
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: And so interesting because then you see the other day

309
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: they had three spots for an analytics department.

310
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, they were they were hiring and they had

311
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 3: aunt of help wanted signs in their analytical department, and

312
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 3: so that was a little bit funny. But something I

313
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 3: wanted to get another take from you, Billy on is

314
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: the you said he went to opin day. I wanted

315
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 3: to hear your thoughts on the ballpark experience at Loan

316
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 3: Depot Park in twenty twenty four.

317
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I've only been to opening Day. I

318
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: was gonna go a couple other times, but I haven't

319
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: made it back. It was fine. I mean, it wasn't

320
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: that much different than any other season. Opening days A

321
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: hard day to judge Loan Depot Park, just because it's

322
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: usually the most crowded day, right and somehow it's always

323
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: it always overwhelms concessions and stuff like that, where like

324
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: there's really long lines and it seems like, okay, we're

325
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: just kind of getting back from an off season here

326
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: it's the first game, so I try to have a

327
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: little more patience on opening Day. Also, I don't know

328
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: how you guys are how are you guys at games,

329
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: are you constantly getting up and like if you're watching

330
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: as a fan, not like as a member of the media.

331
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: If you're a fan, are you getting up and going

332
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: to concessions a lot? Like what do you guys do?

333
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: Very rarely, I'm usually sitting there. I'll stand up in

334
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 3: front of my seat. I really I rarely go up

335
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: and down.

336
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Isaac. Maybe every once in a while, ago,

337
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: maybe once a time I'll go take a lap or

338
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: something around the check it out, But.

339
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 3: No, I'm sitting down. So I.

340
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: I go on opening Day. Of the past couple of years,

341
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: we've gone like with a big family, like aunts and uncles,

342
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: go with my cousins, they have kids, Like it's a

343
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: big like family thing, right, which is great. But also

344
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: I have like the most fidgety family that can't sit

345
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: still apparently, because I'll have people that get up three

346
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 2: or four times and I'm like, can you guys just

347
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: sit down and watch this game? And then if we're

348
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: like in the middle of the aisle or the end

349
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: of the aisle, then whoever else is in the aisle

350
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: will come and they'll go across, and like, I don't understand,

351
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: and opening day it happens a lot, right because you

352
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: have people who are there who don't really care about

353
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 2: the game. They're just going through the spectacle of it,

354
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: and they won't sit still. They're constantly getting up. I

355
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: feel like you should have like maybe like a two

356
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: trip maximum and like after that unless you have like

357
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: a medical condition or you have like a no premier

358
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: doctor that says you have to go to the bathroom

359
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: a lot or something like just sit down, like get everything.

360
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: Like the games now are so fat, they're done in

361
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: like two and a half hours, Like why can't you

362
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 2: sit still for two hours? Like what's going on? So

363
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: I will like sit there the entire time, and I'm

364
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 2: like I just don't want to move. I don't want

365
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: to go to concessions. I don't want to deal with

366
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 2: all the people that are there, so I just kind

367
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 2: of stay put. I'll get whatever I need to get,

368
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: like right at the beginning. Actually that's not true. I

369
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 2: benefit from all the people going out while I'm reeling

370
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: against them because I'll ask them to get me things.

371
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 2: But still the point remains, there should be like a

372
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 2: two exit maximum at these games because the constant up

373
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 2: and down just drives me crazy.

374
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 3: I agree. Almost every half inning there are the same

375
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 3: people just going up and down, blocking people coming back

376
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 3: into the road. It is terrible, And it depends who

377
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 3: I'm there with. If I'm there with my dad did

378
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: the whole time. But if I'm there with a girl

379
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 3: or something, we have to walk around. I got to

380
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 3: show her to the museum.

381
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 2: So it depends on half to show her the museum.

382
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 2: We're taking girls to the games who are longing to

383
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: see the Marlins Museum. I doubt that.

384
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, where the TVs are like almost all off now too.

385
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, taking them to the Budweiser Bar. It's a beautiful

386
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 3: view from there, see the Miami skyline. You take them

387
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 3: down to the Recess Lounge where the Cleveland there used

388
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 3: to be, and it's actually not a bad place go

389
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 3: on a date.

390
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 2: But so, what is your what's your move?

391
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 3: What?

392
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 2: What do you show at the museum? What's like the

393
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: most impressive thing, Like, let me show you this piece

394
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: of Marlin's history in the Marlins Museum.

395
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 3: Well, since you asked, actually, there when I there's a

396
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 3: whole section of the first game ever at Marlin's Park

397
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 3: in twenty twelve, and say, hey, I was there. There's

398
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 3: another one that I sometimes flex. I forget what it is.

399
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 3: I have to see the museum, but not a lot

400
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 3: there for me.

401
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you if you're if you're

402
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: going on all of these dates and doing the same

403
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: thing over and over again, it seems like it's not

404
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: going very well. Like if you constantly need to bring

405
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: new people on this date, I would try something differently continuity.

406
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 3: It's a lot of times the same girl. Don't worry.

407
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: Okay, well is she forgotten? Like I mean, I don't

408
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: want to. I don't share something everything like fifty first

409
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 2: dates that you take and Drew barrymore the same thing.

410
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 3: It's the I flex different things around there.

411
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I have a question for you, how is your

412
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: experience at Loan People Park? Because I feel like you

413
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,479
Speaker 2: asked me because you wanted to tell us what your

414
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: experience was.

415
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 3: Well, I just have an issue. Obviously, it's major league

416
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 3: baseball in my backyard. I cannot be too hard it is. Well,

417
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 3: it is major league baseball, despite the record. But one

418
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 3: big thing to have a problem with. And maybe you agree.

419
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 3: You know you're not you don't have Latin blood. But

420
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 3: the way the blade.

421
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, well well that Latin blood, well, well I do.

422
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 3: And so the blade handering that they do towards Hispanics

423
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: in that ballpark, everything is in Spanish. Every single thing,

424
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 3: the music, the everything is in Spanish. It is it's

425
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 3: gone way out of hand. I've had colleagues and myself.

426
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 3: I've spoken to President of Business Operations Caroline O'Connor about this.

427
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 3: They're just trying to get people in the ballpark. I

428
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 3: get we're a little Havana, but just because we are

429
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 3: in Miami, it does not mean that every single par

430
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 3: in that ballpark speaks Spanish. It is. It is actually

431
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 3: quite offensive in my opinion. That is that was one

432
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 3: thing that had an issue with on opening day. I'll

433
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 3: tell you the rest after, but I don't know if

434
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 3: you agree with that.

435
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: I will say that I have thought in the past

436
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 2: that it is a bit heavy handed.

437
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: Thank you where.

438
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: I agree, I don't know that I'm going to as

439
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: far as offended, but I have thought sometimes it felt

440
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 2: like we're watching Dorothy Explorer, where it's like here's something

441
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 2: in English and then translated directly to Spanish, and it's

442
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: like it's not super necessary, Like I understand I get

443
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: what they're going for. I have felt similar thoughts on

444
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 2: the pandering, maybe not as strongly as you have, though.

445
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 3: It's just the hydro. The hash is in Spanish fesito

446
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 3: in the fifth any because we're in Miami, everyone's Cuban,

447
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 3: and like, are you kidding me?

448
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: It's that's not okay, that's not that bad, is not ridiculous, it.

449
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: Is I've wanted them to come to my road to

450
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: give me coffee, if I'm gonna be honest with you.

451
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, man, And I come from both my parents

452
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 3: are immigrants, and I understand that. And I speak perfect Spanish.

453
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 3: I understand and I and even I get you know what, like, hey,

454
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 3: it's everything is in the Miami Marlins are tweeting it's Spanish.

455
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. Look at this. Oh my, I just get buried.

456
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: Keeping heritage today. I agree with more on Billy where

457
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: it's a little heavy sometimes, but you also have to

458
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: take advantage of where you are, which is Miami, and

459
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: other other ballparks do this too. It's not just the

460
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: Marlins they take they take their city as a strength.

461
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: At MPT College Consulting, they pride themselves on helping clients

462
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 1: navigate the college application process. This includes preparation for standardized testing,

463

470
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 2: Which have I been to? I've been to? I went

471
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 2: to the ballpark in Baltimore. I've been to the Braves

472
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: Ballpark I've been to. I think it's still co America

473
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 2: and Detroit. I went to the trop but I went

474
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: to the Troup for a football game. I went to

475
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 2: Sha Stadium, but not City Fields.

476
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 3: Nice.

477
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 2: I went to Wrigley, but I went to wriglely on

478
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: like a tour because it was in the winter, so

479
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: not a baseball game. Where else have I been? Not

480
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 2: a ton I went to I went to FIU had

481
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 2: a bowl game that the Gasparilla Bowl. I think, I don't. Yeah,

482
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 2: it wasn't great, it wasn't the best.

483
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: It was against Temple.

484
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 3: I think.

485
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: It was.

486
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: It wasn't the best. Hey, that's me at Wrigley Field.

487
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 2: How did you find that? Whoa that is?

488
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: Wasn't that cold?

489
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look winter, and I've never been to Chicago.

490
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: I've been told by everyone the best time to go

491
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 2: to Chicago's the summer. I've never been to Chicago this summer.

492
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 2: I've been to Chicago twice in the winter, and it

493
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: was miserable. The first time that I went with the

494
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: wind show was like negative thirty and the people, the

495
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: uber drivers and stuff that were there were like, what

496
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: are you doing here? And I'm like, my wife said

497
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 2: she wanted to see snow. I didn't know it was

498
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 2: this miserable. So we were there for like a couple

499
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 2: of days, and then I said, I will never come

500
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 2: back to Chicago in the winter. It's dreadful. It is

501
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: so cold. The lake that's there, you see like just

502
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 2: chunks of it looks like icebergers, like the Titanic was there,

503
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: just chunks of ice floating in the water. It's horrible.

504
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 2: It's so cold and the wind picks up and it's freezing.

505
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 2: So I was like, I'm never going to go back there.

506
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: And then two years later, I think it was my

507
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 2: now brother in law is like, I'm going to propose

508
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 2: to your sister in Chicago and I was like, oh,

509
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: and we all had to kind of go for this,

510
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: and I'm like, it is so cold. I said I

511
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 2: would never do this again, but there I was.

512
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: Wow, and that's me.

513
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was freezing. It wasn't great.

514
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 3: I can't imagine that because I was there in April

515
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: covering the Marlin series in Wrigley and it was it

516
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 3: was thirty, but it was miserable. That it is miserable.

517
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 2: That's probably that's starting to get nice. Like they they

518
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: even told us like, yeah, the locals that live here

519
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 2: just flee town this time of year, and I'm like,

520
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 2: where do they go? Like I wish I could just

521
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 2: leave unpleasant, but yeah, they come here. Have you guys

522
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: been to a lot of parks or no.

523
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: I've been to the Drop and Citizens Bank and City Field.

524
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Coverage wise, I've started to do a lot of

525
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 3: San Diego, Chavez Ravine in LA I did Philadelphia for

526
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 3: the wild Card series, New City Fields and they're all very,

527
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 3: very nice, and I just to get back to it.

528
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 3: Every single one of those ballparks has a much better

529
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 3: baseball experience and on Depo Park, unfortunately, it's things, but

530
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 3: it's just like, and I don't know if you it's

531
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 3: the case.

532
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 2: I guess park races, which I'm sure you love.

533
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: Hey, I need to Billy.

534
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: Did he see the Did he hear about the protests

535
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: that went on?

536
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: I did see the protest, Isaac, did you break that story?

537
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 3: Not exactly a story. I went out because I heard

538
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 3: rumors that this was going to happen. Kevin helped me

539
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 3: out with that, and I went out. I was expecting

540
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: at least fifteen twenty people.

541
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 2: There was about three or four.

542
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 3: Right, there was about five total. It was some signs

543
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 3: that didn't make a lot of sense, but they were passionate.

544
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 3: One of them is a doctor and he orchestrated the

545
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 3: whole thing and he was interviewed, and so I just

546
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: sort of, yeah, I guess I was the first to

547
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 3: report that there was a protest going on.

548
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so are they going to come back or what

549
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 2: they got?

550
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: They got a whole they got the permit to do

551
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: it and everything they.

552
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 3: Were Yeah, they went Yeah, because I asked, and from

553
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 3: what I understood, they did this by the book, they

554
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 3: they did not go on the West Plaza. They did

555
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 3: not buy tickets and do it inside the stadium. They

556
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 3: they called the police. They told the police what they're

557
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 3: gonna do. They got the permit, like Kevin said, and

558
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 3: they stood like two football fields away from the West

559
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 3: Plaza entrance, behind that little blockade with these signs that

560
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,959
Speaker 3: include you know, O, Zuna and Sandy and they publin

561
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 3: arise when they traded for each other. It just makes

562
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 3: no sense, but yeah, they I wasn't able to make

563
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 3: a story of it because they didn't speak English, and

564
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 3: I guess they could have tried to, but it's just

565
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 3: it was. It was. It was difficult to make a story,

566
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 3: and honestly a lot of what they said made no sense,

567
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 3: so but it was it was nice to see people

568
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 3: show passion for a team, passion. We've seen this movie

569
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 3: a lot of times, and you know, it is good

570
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 3: to see some some baseball protests and going up there.

571
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: That's like the one thing that kind of stood out

572
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: was like, you know the fact that they went out

573
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: there and did it. Even if it's five people, they

574
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: know what's going on, they know how they feel, and frankly,

575
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: they're the only ones who decided to go out there

576
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: and do it. No one else did it. I wouldn't

577
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: be surprised if more people do it next time, but

578
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: definitely should be interesting.

579
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 3: Is that something you would do, Billy, if you felt

580
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 3: passionately enough. I was.

581
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 2: I was part of one protest and I realized it

582
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: wasn't for me and it wasn't Marlins related. It was

583
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 2: really because Ron McGill asked us to go and it

584
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: was about a water park at the Zoo. So I

585
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 2: decided to show up to that. But I showed up.

586
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 2: There was like a window of like four hours. I

587
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: think they said it was like ten to two. No,

588
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 2: they said it was like ten to three. I showed

589
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: up at like one because I was doing something that

590
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 2: was not protesting a water park in the morning. It

591
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 2: could be told I like a good water park, but

592
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 2: you know, he asked us to do it. So I

593
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 2: decided to show up and I got there very late,

594
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: and by the time I got there, they had like

595
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 2: made their way out to the street and they were

596
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 2: like holding signs, and I guess they didn't want the

597
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 2: water park because there was like bats or something that

598
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 2: we're like living in that I don't know, but it's

599
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 2: just a bunch of people holding scientists. Yeah. Yeah at

600
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 2: the zoo. Yeah, they were gonna build a water park

601
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 2: by the zoo, but it was like a sanctuary for

602
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: bats or I don't know. By the time they got there, Yeah,

603
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: they were like holding signs and there was cars honking,

604
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 2: and I was like, what am I doing here? Like,

605
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 2: I'm not someone that's gonna be screaming at cars about bats.

606
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 2: So I got back in my car and I left.

607
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 3: Wow. Wow, I know about water parks really.

608
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 2: Well, because there was something they were gonna build a

609
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 2: water park like in the parking lot of Zoo Miami.

610
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: But then like that was I don't know, like ten

611
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 2: years ago or something, and since then they found out

612
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 2: that like it was like some habitat for natural animals

613
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 2: and if they did that, they'd be displayed. I don't know, man,

614
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 2: but there's no water park now thanks to me. So

615
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 2: you're welcome bats, well, like the caterpillars or whatever. I protected. Right,

616
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: are you guys protesters? I don't see you out there protesting.

617
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 3: No, no.

618
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: Busy at the SOHO House.

619
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, he would protest to keep the SOHO House up.

620
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, what would be the thing that would get you

621
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 2: passionate enough to like go out and be like this

622
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 2: just will not stand.

623
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 3: If if Baseball were moving out of Miami, if major

624
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 3: League Baseball, if it failed, and it's not it can

625
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 3: because I'm a member of the media. But like, if

626
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 3: they said, hey, we're moving the team to Portland or

627
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,479
Speaker 3: Las Vegas, I they would hear from me. They they

628
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 3: most definitely would. I think that's the only I think.

629
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: I think that's the only thing.

630
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: Probably I'm not a big.

631
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 3: Football to Division three, you'd probably be protesting.

632
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: I would be passed. But no, honestly, that program is

633
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: pretty close.

634
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: So that's fired left and right today.

635
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 3: Well, one of the last things I have for you, Billy,

636
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 3: I'm just curious. Obviously, you guys touched on the mornings

637
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 3: a little bit on the Dan Liverttheart Show. I'm an

638
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 3: avid listener, especially when David Sampson is on. I'm a

639
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 3: massive David Sampson. I think he's great. But what's the

640
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 3: consensus around the team when the team is this bad

641
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 3: right now? What does everyone think about what's going on

642
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 3: at Lone Depot Park in twenty twenty?

643
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 2: They mainly don't. I feel like I'm the only one,

644
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: like I'll talk about it, you know, with Ethan and

645
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 2: other people in the office, but on air, no one

646
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: will pretty much listen to me talk about the Marlins,

647
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 2: which is, you know, not even Jeremy Here's Jeremy does

648
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 2: talk too. But here's the thing, And I don't know

649
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 2: if you guys agree with me, and I'm gonna ultimately

650
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 2: be wrong about this, like, which is fine, but I

651
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 2: think that there's an astrois as to why I'm wrong.

652
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: The Marlins prior to trading arise and you know what's

653
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: to come. Apparently we're not the worst team in baseball,

654
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: like they they were gonna be bad, but they were

655
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: not White Sox bad, like they were underperforming and the

656
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: bullpen blew a bunch of games. They were gonna be

657
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: probably a I would say, like close to seventy win team.

658
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: I think you don't think. Yeah, well well hold on,

659
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: hold on, let me rephrase some of this a little

660
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 2: bit because I need Isaac's approval. They were going to

661
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: be not a playoff team, not the worst team in baseball.

662
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 2: Then they also were getting a barrage of injuries to

663
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: the starting pitching, which definitely did not help. And then

664
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: they were just like underperforming dramatically, but they got off

665
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 2: to a terrible start. That the zero to eleven or

666
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: whatever was to start was not indicative of the team

667
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: that they I agree.

668
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: I agree. At the time of the trade the team

669
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 3: was nine and twenty five.

670
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 2: Well, yes, things had started to go south.

671
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 3: They were sixteen games under. I think seventy wins is

672
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 3: extremely optimistic, and that's not a problem. I agree. Maybe

673
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 3: they do win seventy games, right, so they do. The

674
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 3: worst place you can be is be in the middle.

675
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 3: You either want to be tanking the way they are now,

676
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 3: or you want to be all in and to be

677
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,959
Speaker 3: in the middle and have these assets, these expiring assets,

678
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 3: and finish with seventy wins when you know you're not

679
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 3: gonna make the playoffs. What's the point that is? The

680
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 3: worst place to be is in the middle. So I

681
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 3: don't fault them for you know, punting right.

682
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 2: But do you trust their drafting.

683
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: There's noutally different.

684
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: Which, by the way, Paul skin is gonna blow out

685
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: his arm, but you're not asking me about him, so

686
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: we don't need to talk about him.

687
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna blow the multiple multi staffers, multiple her staffers

688
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: have said that.

689
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 3: Or co workers.

690
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 2: I look back on Paul. Okay, one start and you

691
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: already have nine of the fastest pitches thrown by a

692
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 2: start of this season. Relax, you're you want to have

693
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: a long career, Stop throwing it so hard.

694
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't disagree with what you said.

695
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone saw the Martins being this bad.

696
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: They had some good pieces, obviously the pitching, as I.

697
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 2: Didn't think they were going to lose one hundred games

698
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: now they I do not think I think they will

699
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 2: lose one hundred games now.

700
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 3: The thing is, I think they were on their way

701
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 3: to lose ninety four ninety three games with a Rise.

702
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 3: They're obvious going to trade him in the deadline. I

703
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 3: think that's what you mean, Like not to trade them

704
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 3: in May thirty, you meant if they had waited until July,

705
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 3: you think they end up about seventy wins.

706
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 2: I think had they played out the entire season with

707
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 2: this roster, they would have figured it out, not trading

708
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 2: a Rise, not having a fire sale, like had they

709
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,479
Speaker 2: played with their opening day roster, had they played out

710
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 2: the season, they would have been like a sixty seven

711
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 2: to seventy two win team.

712
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: Ish, Right, And what good does that do you. You

713
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 3: don't get the high drave I think and nothing.

714
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 2: It's just not the worst team in baseball, right yeah,

715
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 2: Which that's all. That's all I'm rooting for now. Just

716
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 2: don't be the worst.

717
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 3: And there is an argument to be made that having

718
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 3: these guys and being in the middle and being shitty

719
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 3: is more beneficial because people will continue to go to

720
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 3: the ballpark and watch Tanner Scott close games and watch

721
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 3: a Rise lead off the you know, even though they

722
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 3: saw it, there'll be stars there to bring to put

723
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 3: butts in the seat in the seed.

724
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 2: So that's the argument that would have respect Tanner Scott

725
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: was not driving me to the ballpark to watch the game.

726
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 2: Respect to the.

727
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: Scotts, aside from a Rise but.

728
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: Nearest Withal Bruhan, so I guess.

729
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 3: Or Auto Lopez, but I'm sorry Lozard lozart is. You know,

730
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 3: he's one of the guys that is favorable to be traded.

731
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 3: But Lozardo pitching in September for a ninety win for

732
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 3: a ninety lost team, along with Jazz and center a

733
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 3: rise at second even though whether they lose ninety or

734
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 3: win ninety, they're more likely to bring in fans in

735
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: Auto Lopez and Ryan Weathers.

736
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, you probably what I don't know how much you

737
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: pay attention to the play by player or the color analysts.

738
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: What do you think of them?

739
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 2: I like them, I mean they still have a rotating cast.

740
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: I really like Kyle, even though that's radio Kyle guys. Yeah,

741
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 2: but I like our broadcast team. Do you guys not

742
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 2: like it?

743
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 3: Who do you guys like the least? Tell me just

744
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 3: I can't. I would just say that I miss Rich

745
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 3: and Tommy very very much. I like that Tommy still

746
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 3: does some games, but I very much miss the old

747
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 3: the old crew. Do you miss Glenn? I do miss Glenn,

748
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 3: even though he gone pretty crazy. He sort of got

749
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 3: off the deep end a little bit here. I'm a

750
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 3: I thought Glenn was one of the best play by

751
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 3: playmen in all of baseball. I thought that he was fantastic.

752
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 3: And I think Kyle's done a great we were gonna

753
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 3: lose Glenn. I thought Kyle was Kyle's great. I think

754
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: does a tremendous job at acknowledging the situation while remaining

755
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 3: positive and still not you know, just saying the way

756
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 3: things aren't. He does a great job.

757
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: Speaking of Kyle, are you going to go to spring training,

758
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: you got your your game end next year.

759
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 2: I know that I was got raged out this year.

760
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 2: I was supposed to do it and it got rained out,

761
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 2: and then Kyle said, we'll get you in the regular season.

762
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 2: And I feel like, and I haven't been told anything,

763
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: but I feel like the way this season's going, I'm

764
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 2: not going to get the invite for a regular season game.

765
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 2: I think it's not coming. It would make a perfect storm,

766
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 2: like it would be perfect for this situation, but I

767
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 2: also think that maybe, and it could be wrong, they

768
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,479
Speaker 2: might not want me doing that during a live game

769
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: in the regular I think.

770
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 3: Because of the season, they would want you now, like

771
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 3: distract I'm a little bit from the product, though I would. Yeah,

772
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 3: it's then pilot teks. If you want to say, hey,

773
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:04,760
Speaker 3: are you ever going to get billied?

774
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 2: You don't have to pure pressure him. It's okay, I'll

775
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 2: be I'm happy to make a mess of things whenever

776
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 2: they'd like to have me, so we'll see. I got

777
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 2: a shirt for spring training this year that I was

778
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 2: going to wear, which is ridiculous because it's a radio broadcast,

779
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: so no one would have seen the shirt. But like

780
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 2: I was given for Christmas. I think someone in my

781
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: family gave me a Marlins Hawaiian shirt and I'm like,

782
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: where am I going to wear this? And I thought

783
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 2: immediately spring training That's where I'm going to wear this.

784
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 2: But then it didn't happen because of the rain. Did

785
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 2: you end up going to say didn't? I didn't because

786
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 2: I got tipped off and I felt bad because I

787
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: was talking to you throughout that day. But I was

788
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 2: tipped off very early that that game was not going

789
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 2: to happen. So the game was supposed to happen at six,

790
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 2: and I found out at like ten thirty, and I

791
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 2: was told that they were going to announce it like

792
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 2: around noon, but I don't think they announced it until

793
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: like four. And I think, and I could be wrong,

794
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 2: and I don't know if I should be saying any

795
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 2: of this, but I think the reason that it wasn't

796
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 2: announced is because I'm pretty sure that was the same

797
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 2: day as the Yuri Perez news came out that he

798
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 2: was going to be coming back. So I think, and

799
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 2: I could be wrong, that there while it was known

800
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 2: that game wasn't going to happen, they still wanted the

801
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 2: coverage of that announcement, so the media still went up

802
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 2: there for that game, but there, yeah, huh.

803
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: Spoke that day. That was the day they announced the

804
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: Yuri Tommy John.

805
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 2: I think, and they said that he was coming back.

806
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 2: I thought the season.

807
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was the thing we spoke to URI's skip.

808
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 1: That was the day I think we found out six

809
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: some of the opening day roster.

810
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. And then him a fantasy thinking this

811
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 2: is this is going to be a steal. Didn't work out,

812
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 2: got a fantasy Yeah, well on like the twenty second

813
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 2: round or something. It took a flyer on him thinking whatever,

814
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 2: maybe he gets a spots start here. And I was

815
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 2: so excited because obviously he never pitched in front of

816
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 2: like a major league crowd because he did his thing

817
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. So then he came in opening Day

818
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 2: and I was like one of the four people giving

819
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 2: him a standing ovation when he came into the game

820
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: in the first batter because the.

821
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 3: Pitch boo.

822
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 2: So bad.

823
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, they gave him a high leverage spot the seventh

824
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 3: inning of a one to two run game. Whatever it

825
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 3: was when Neil Cruz.

826
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 2: Second pitch, it was it was only bad pitch. He

827
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 2: had a goodside from that, but you retired decide in

828
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 2: order after that, but he gave you four innings of

829
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 2: shutout ball on Friday. On Monday, yeah, he's been off

830
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 2: my team since he was off my team. And then

831
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 2: I said, you know what, I'm gonna Givehi another shot

832
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 2: and get up like six runs. And I'm like, Okay,

833
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 2: this experiment's done the Billy Gil team.

834
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that'll be the highlight of the show that

835
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 3: Billy Gill drafts that six O Sanchez in Fantasy baseball and.

836
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 2: I dropped him and then picked him up again because

837
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, maybe I don't well because he had a

838
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: spot He had a spot start, right, so I picked

839
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 2: him up, I think for the spot start, and it didn't.

840
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 2: It didn't go well.

841
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 3: We thought it was gonna be a spot start, but

842
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 3: they continue to roll him out there.

843
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,280
