With the season winding down and just 7 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,919 Speaker 1: a couple of games left before the season ends, I 8 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: wanted to do a special small pod. Last time I 9 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: talked about the free agents. This time I want to 10 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: give out awards, my awards for the twenty twenty two season, 11 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: and for this I'll be doing MVP, Best Offensive Player, 12 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 1: cy Young, Rookie of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, 13 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: and most Surprising Player. So first for MVP Cy Young, 14 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to get two. Well with this, with the 15 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you've won players for these two awards, 16 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: MVP and cy Young. Obviously, I don't think it's a 17 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: surprise to anybody. Sandy deserves both awards. He has been 18 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: the best player and the best pitcher, not just for 19 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: the Marlins, but obvious Tire National League. You could even 20 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,839 Speaker 1: say the Tire Baseball. 21 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 2: Two two round ball up the middle windw gets to 22 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 2: the bag at some Marlins win and for Sandy Alcandra, 23 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: his fifth complete game of the. 24 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: Year thirty games started. In those thirty games, five complete games, 25 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: one shutout, two hundred and twelve innings pitched, two three 26 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: seven ERA, one hundred and eighty eight strikeouts, one oh 27 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: one whip left than fifty batters walked, just so impressive. 28 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: Sandy has easily been the best pitcher in baseball this season, 29 00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: surefire Cy Young Award winner for the twenty twenty two season, 30 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: in first one in Marlon's history, hopefully when it does happen. 31 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 1: But for the Marlins this season twenty twenty two, there's 32 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: been a lot of disappointments, not really the FIVN the 33 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: Marlins wanted it to go. But there are bright spots, 34 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: and the number one bright spot have to be Sandy 35 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 1: and just the way he's performing for me, that's why 36 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: he's my Cy Young for the Marlins this season and MVP, 37 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: and for best offensive Player, I'm gonna have to go 38 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: with someone who hasn't played in a long time, Jazz Chisholm. 39 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: In only sixty games two five to four average, but 40 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: his OPS is eight sixty, which is still the highest 41 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: on the team. He's still one of the leaders, the 42 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: leader for the Marlins currently active on the roster with 43 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: fourteen home runs, still leads in terms of RBIs with 44 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: forty five rbs. Oh, excuse me, second on the team 45 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: behind Gary Cooper, but for forty nine dasts and forty 46 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: five twelve steals for just some offensively, Jazz when he 47 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: was healthier earlier this season before the All Star break, 48 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,119 Speaker 1: just incredible. Jazz is easily one of the best second basements, 49 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: not just in the National League, but all of baseball. 50 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: He's the face of the franchise from Miamis. With him 51 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: and Sandy, you know, all the merchandise, all the tickets easily. 52 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: But for me, for twenty twenty two, he is easily 53 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: the best offensive player. I would have loved to see 54 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: Jazz play a whole one sixty two. I had one 55 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: hundred more games on that sixty Who knows what would 56 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: happen in sixty games. He gives you fourteen home runs 57 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: and twelve stolen bases. Double that one hundred and twenty 58 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: he could easily give. You can give you thirty thirty 59 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: some extra games there pushing in You know when you 60 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: see the records right there. You know we want to 61 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: steal a little more. You know, you hit the ball 62 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: a little harder drafts and easily gotten thirty thirty. Just 63 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: awesome to see just the way Jazz just came onto 64 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: the scene this season, being an All Star, not just 65 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: an All Star, but start the All Star Game, especially 66 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: for Marlon, that's just incredible. It was sad to see 67 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: Jazz get injured and he hasn't played before the All 68 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: Star break, which really disappointing. It really does suck. But 69 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: you know, I hope that Jazz just gets better. I 70 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: know you could get better. He's an awesome player, awesome person. 71 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: He's gonna get better. He's gonna come back one hundred 72 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: and ten times better, one hundred and ten times the 73 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: player that he was before that injury, and he's just 74 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: gonna match the ball next season. Jazz, Jazz MVP. Hopefully 75 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: another All Star appearance next season. But for twenty twenty two, 76 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: he is the best or it's offensive player. So for 77 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,799 Speaker 1: the next award, I want to do Rookie of the Year. 78 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: There are some places where you can go forth towards 79 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. Really the how you see Rookie 80 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: of the Year and just how you see it in 81 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: terms of experience and are are they still rookie and whatnot. 82 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,559 Speaker 1: You have someone like Rex garrett I, you would say, 83 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: who's still qualified as rookie. You still have someone maybe 84 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: like Nick Fourtes, who's probably more of a rookie as 85 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: is his first year. There are different ways that the 86 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: Mormons can go, but I'm I'm gonna go Nick Fortes 87 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: just when he has played again, it hasn't been a lot, 88 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: kind of like Jazz in terms of just sixty games, 89 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: sixty two games for Nick fourtest, but when he has played, 90 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: he has been great, seven or two ops, hitting the 91 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: home runs, seven home runs. But when he he just 92 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: gives a burst of offense. When he's there, you can 93 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: put him a catcher, you can put him at DH 94 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: and just to have that type of player there from Miami, 95 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: I I think it's really great to have like that 96 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: backup catcher who's still really young, can learn and could 97 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,559 Speaker 1: eventually be a starter and instead of giving you seven 98 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: home runs, could probably give you somewhere around eighteen home runs, 99 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: probably playing every day, maybe even twenty. Nick Fortes almost 100 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: came out of nowhere cause he wasn't even on the 101 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: roster to begin with. At the beginning of the year, 102 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: it was Peyton Henry. But Nick Fortes just showed up 103 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: and said he wanted the starting job or he wanted 104 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: to spot on the roster, and you know he got it. 105 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: He got the backup capture job after Peyton Henry was 106 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: sent down. And Nick Fortes has not looked back since 107 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: he has taken that job and he has ran all 108 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: the way with it. And that's why he is in 109 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: my twenty twenty two Marlins Rookie of the Year, the 110 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: you know other awards. As I said, I'm gonna go 111 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: come Back Player of the Year. I don't know if 112 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: you get come back paycas someone is still not on 113 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: the team, but I think you still have to keep 114 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: it to that person. And I'm gonna go with Anthony 115 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: Bass just the way he performed this season before he 116 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: was traded. Compared to last season. He got off to 117 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: a really bad star last season. It was really you know, 118 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: was it really that great of a year? Really up 119 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: and up and down? So blown saves. Social media, Uh 120 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: was all over Anthony Bass, the media, But Anthony Bass 121 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: turned it around. He had some really great performances after 122 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: being uh taken out of the closer and then now 123 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two before he was traded lights out, should 124 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: have been an All Star. He had an ERA under 125 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: I believe one point five, just incredible. Was traded at 126 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: the deadline was Zach Popp and a player to be 127 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: named later for Jordan Groschan's to Toronto, and Anthony Bass 128 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: has just been incredible now with the the Toronto Blue Jays, 129 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: still one of the better relievers in baseball, and just 130 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: with Miami, he was so good this year in twenty 131 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: twenty two, one of the unsung heroes for Miami. In 132 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: twenty two games with Toronto, he still has a one 133 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: three seven ERA, So nothing has changed from Anthony Bass. 134 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: If not, he's only gotten better with the Blue Jays 135 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: and just incredible season for Anthony Bass. Even though he's 136 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: no longer with Miami, he's still my comeback Player of 137 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: the Year and most surprising player. I'm gonna go with 138 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: John Birdie. This is another way he could also go. 139 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: Maybe Braxton Garrett, just the way he performed having an 140 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: ERA in around three. But I'm gonna go with John Birdie. 141 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: Despite some of the injuries, just still leading the MLB 142 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: in stolen bases and probably be the leader in the 143 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: entire league in the stolen bases after the season ends. 144 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: Is incredible. Win healthy, win, starting, good hitter, hitting around 145 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: two forty five ops, six six eight, you know, probably 146 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: one of the fastest players on the team, doubles machine, 147 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: just really great player for Miami. Just win healthy, you know, 148 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: he was almost every day earlier in the season. It's 149 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: just and still having the stolen base leading number despite 150 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: being injured for a good amount of the season. It's 151 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: not even playing in more than eighty seven games. Eighty 152 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: seven games is where he's at right now currently as 153 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: I'm recording this, not even reaching a hundred games played 154 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: and still leading the league in stolen the basis incredible. 155 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: That's why John Brady is my most surprising player. And 156 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: that does it for me.
