1
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: My name is Danny Martinez, and allow me to let

2
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: you in on a little secret. I am so excited

3
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: for today's episode of fish Bites. First off, the draft.

4
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: At the time that this is recording, it's Sunday. The

5
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: draft is tomorrow. Second off, we have Georgia Alvarado, one

6
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: of the best Marlon's fancy you're gonna find on Twitter,

7
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: joining us later on today. That interview has already been

8
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: done twice, as you'll hear about it in the interview.

9
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: That's going to be exciting. And number three, quite frankly,

10
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: I had a good weekend and a lot of it

11
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: had to do with Marlon's Twitter. I joined my wife

12
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: and we took a little trip to Orlando's something work related,

13
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: and you know, Kevin Smith told me go to Jimmy Hulas.

14
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: I did it was great. Jeremy Tasha said, try a

15
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: little Moon Pizzeria. I did it. It was great. And

16
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: then Jonathan Anderson, who is just one of the nicest

17
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: guys in the world, works at Sack Comedy Lab. It's

18
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: in downtown Orlando. They do improv, They do like whose

19
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: line is it any way? Kind of show, and he

20
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: was able to get me complimentary tickets and well, you

21
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: know guess what, that was great too. So I have

22
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: had a really good time this weekend, and I'm excited

23
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: to get into this podcast because, like I said, if

24
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: you're listening to this on Monday morning, which I hope

25
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: you are, it is draft day. Congratulations. Today is the

26
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: day that we have been anticipating, that we have been

27
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: looking forward to. Today's the day that myself, Ian ethan

28
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: on you know earning their stripes, have discussed at nauseum,

29
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: and today's the day that the organization can make a

30
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: pick that truly sort of solidifies the rebuild and solidifies

31
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: itself moving forward. So I'm excited, and we're obviously going

32
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: to talk a little draft later on today before George

33
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: comes on and joins us. But before we get there,

34
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: let's go and hit our usuals. Let's talk a little

35
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 1: bit about the pitching this week. Let's talk a little

36
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: bit about some of the hitting that's been happening, because

37
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: we should be excited right now. I sent a tweet

38
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: out a while ago, and I think I even spoke

39
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: about this in one of my previous podcasts, which was

40
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: when the young guys start coming up, We're going to

41
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: start seeing a little bit of that fun, a little

42
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: bit of that excitement, a little glimpse of what the

43
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: future should look like. And we're getting there. We're getting

44
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: there with kids like Harold Ramirez, We're getting there with

45
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: the pitching staff. It's exciting to see Garrett Cooper start

46
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: heating up. And if you don't realize that he's heating up,

47
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: go take his last couple of his last week or

48
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: so of production. It's exciting to see this. And this week,

49
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 1: like many other weeks, we saw the way that the

50
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: blueprint is being put forward so much so I don't

51
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: even have one pitch of performance. I have two, and

52
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: they happened on back to back nights against the Giants.

53
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: The first one was on Tuesday. Trevor Richards. We spoke

54
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: about Trevor last week as well, and we're gonna speak

55
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: about him again because I'm gonna be honest, I'm at

56
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: fault at this, but many fans kind of quickly put

57
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: him in the box of baby face daces that might

58
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: be moved to the bullpen or that might not stick around.

59
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: And to be fair, there are some peripheral numbers that

60
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: you can look at and say, you know, this was

61
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: somewhat justified. The man has he been shutting people up?

62
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: He goes up against the Giants, puts up seven innings,

63
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: pitch of two hit baseball, he allowed one ear and run,

64
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: He struck out five and he walked one. Of course,

65
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: as always, the story begins and ends with his change up,

66
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: and it was nasty. Trevor Richards. From all of us

67
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: that have said, oh well, Pablo Lopez and Sandy and whatever,

68
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: Caleb Smith might be the real leaders of the baby

69
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: Faced Aces, a lot me to, you know, just say

70
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry on behalf of them, on behalf of myself.

71
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: It is amazing to see you go out there. We

72
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: hope that it continues to generalize. But you were absolutely

73
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: disgusting against the Giants this week, and in a very

74
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: good way. And then the following day, which you love

75
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: to see, right, you love to see these pitchers one

76
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: upping each other. And I'm not sure we're going to

77
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: say that Pablo Lopez on the twenty ninth, which is Wednesday,

78
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: necessarily one upped Trevor Richards. But he said, you know

79
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: what we you can do. I'm going to go out

80
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: there and I'm going to try to do as well.

81
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, as he gets posey for his third strikeout, Lopez

82
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: is two two on the way and a call strike

83
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: three bottom of the zoe. That's four strikeouts for Lopez

84
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 2: and four innings of work. Pressure's on. Al Faro picks

85
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 2: it up, throws down first to complete the strikeout, a

86
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: one two three fifth four Poblo Lopez.

87
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: Six innings pitch only four hits, allowed, one un run,

88
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: and the same split of five ks to one walk.

89
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: Now with Pablo, there's something interesting that's happening here. You know,

90
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: we're starting to see these home road splits. I won't

91
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: even pretend to try to conceptualize what's happening there. Whether

92
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: it's that he's pitching differently, I'm not sure the numbers

93
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: show that although he could be a little bit more

94
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: aggressive in the zone away, maybe he is thinking that

95
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: at home he can get away with certain pitchers in

96
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: the zone or the ballpark factors that we often talk

97
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: about in a negative fashion for hitters. Maybe that is

98
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: something protective for pictures and the mentality of the game.

99
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: I won't pretend to look at that in this particular segment.

100
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: That's actually something I want to jump into next week

101
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: or the following week. Because next week will probably be

102
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: discussing draft a little bit. But there's clearly some home

103
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: road splits with our pictures, and we see that quite

104
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: a lot in Pabo Lopez. Nonetheless, guess what they were

105
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: both at home this week and they both dominated Trevor

106
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: Richards Pablo Lopez Pitchers of the week. However, let's not

107
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: go to hitters quite yet because quite frankly, Luis da Vila,

108
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to talk about your ace here

109
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: for a second. Jose Urania needs to get some recognition

110
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: for what he's doing. It's impressive. It's impressive what he

111
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: has come out and what he's shown that he can do.

112
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: I was very much also, I will be the first

113
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: one to raise my hand on the boat of you know,

114
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: let's hope Urinia has a good season. Let's see what

115
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: he can do if he can replicate the second half

116
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: of twenty of last year twenty eighteen, and maybe there

117
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: is enough value to flip him for some lower tier

118
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: prospect and then just complete the baby faced aces with

119
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: Zach Gallon coming up or whoever else might fill that spot.

120
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 1: What I'm raising my hand to is that my tone

121
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: wasn't exactly very hopeful. Well, I was wrong. Oz Urinia

122
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: has been able to begin replicating what he did in

123
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: the second half of last year. Over his last seven games,

124
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: he's sporting a three point to era. He has struck

125
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: out almost thirty while only walking fifteen. His whips at

126
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: one point one to three, and that's over the course

127
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: of forty five innings. He has been limiting the damage

128
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. Jose Urania, I'm not

129
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: saying it's pitching like a front line pitcher on a

130
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: competitive team, but make no mistake about it. When it's

131
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: July or even maybe before then and we're talking about

132
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: trade deadline flips, Caleb Smith and Jose Urania might be

133
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: on the same pedestal for me. If he's performing the

134
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: way that he is performing right now at that time,

135
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: especially since we are seeing a little bit of a

136
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: dip back to he's stabilizing a bit from Caleb Smith.

137
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: I'll go about it that way. Jose Arena might really

138
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: be the prize now if another team values him as such.

139
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: The market will dictate. However, we cannot talk about pictures

140
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: and we cannot highlight pitchers on a major league podcast

141
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: for the Marlins without talking about isa Urano, so tip

142
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: of the cap to him. I hope he continues to

143
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: shut me up. I hope that he continues to shut

144
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: up those that say that he could have been deafade,

145
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: that he didn't even deserve a spot coming out of

146
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: the spring training. You know, Lewis, I'm sure you're happy

147
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: to hear that. But as for me, definitely a tip

148
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: of the cap. All of the pitching has been sensational. Inconsistent, sure,

149
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: but sensational nonetheless. As for hitter of the week, my

150
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: favorite guy, the guy that I spoke about on earning

151
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: their stripes, the one that we discussed over and over

152
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: again having to get called up, the one that I

153
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: said was a steal from the Pirates organization, from the

154
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: Blue Jays organization. The fact that they were short so

155
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: short sighted to let him go because he had a

156
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: knee injury. Harold Ramirez. Don't I want to include the

157
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: bleeping in there, but Harold Ramirez three pot fifty seven

158
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: four nineteen four twenty nine. Over the last week, he

159
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: has only one more strikeout than he does walks. He's

160
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: thrown in six RBIs and he has a handful of

161
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: doubles in there. Just to make you feel a little

162
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: bit better that it's not just all singles. Now. This

163
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: is someone again twenty four years of age, was once

164
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: a top one hundred prospects. He then had a knee injury.

165
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: I've spoken about that on this podcast and on the

166
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: sister podcast of Earning Their Stripes, and the Marlins gave

167
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: a shot and he's come up and he looks incredibly comfortable.

168
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: He has always been someone throughout the minders that has

169
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: been able to hit wherever he has been, whatever league,

170
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: whatever affiliate, hit her friendly, not hit her friendly. Hailderimures

171
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: is going to get you close to a three hundred average.

172
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: He's going to get on base. He has a good eye,

173
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: he has a solid approach. I love the stance, and

174
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: he has a beautiful bat to ball contact. And at

175
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: the moment, he's playing out a position. Yes, we see it.

176
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: We see that the anticipation isn't quite there. We see

177
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, that really bad kind of blue pit that

178
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: fell in between all three of them against the Padres.

179
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: We understand that he's playing out a position because right

180
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: now there's not a true center fielder on the roster

181
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: other than maybe Roselle Herrera. And when you want Haildermirez's

182
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: bat in the as well as Garrett Cooper's bat, as

183
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: well as probably Grandy and Left or whoever might be

184
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: out there. You're going to play out a position to

185
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: get the bat in the lineup, but that shouldn't be

186
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: held against him. Ramirez will eventually be a corner outfielder

187
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: and he will continue to hit, maybe not at the

188
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: pace that he's hitting right his babbitp is pretty high.

189
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: He's also just a small sample size at the moment.

190
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: The league really isn't going to be figuring him out

191
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: quite yet. There's also a level of him hitting a

192
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: lot of singles, not hitting enough for power at the moment.

193
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: I get all of those factors, but when you look

194
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: at a minor league career of hitting, I would say

195
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: that I'm pretty confident with Harold Ramirez at some point

196
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: being a potential building block in one of the corner

197
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: outfield positions. And yet there's something that has caught my eye.

198
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: It's not the Blooper reels in center field. It is

199
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: not you know, his homer and then he thought he

200
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: had another home run, which he probably should have had.

201
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: It's not anything that's happening. It's not the average it's

202
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: not the OBP. What has caught my eye is that

203
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: he's in the ninety first percent tile in sprint speed.

204
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: Harold Ramirez is in the ninety first percent tile in

205
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen in sprint speed. You know why the Blue

206
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: Jays and the Pirates gave up on him, rather the

207
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: blue Jays because he blew out his knee, He had

208
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: issues with his legs, and they felt that he would

209
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: never regain his speed. And then you look at him

210
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: and he looks kind of like a C. J. Anderson

211
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: running back in the NFL, but you don't exactly look

212
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: at him and think, well, that guy's quick. Oh, but

213
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: he is ninety first percent tile. So he hits the

214
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: ball hard. His exit average EGX of velocities around ninety

215
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: one point three ninety two. The average MLB's like eighty seven.

216
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: He's in the ninety first percent tile running and you've

217
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: seen that. You've seen would be double plays balls that

218
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: the infielders don't have the right scouting report on him,

219
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: take their time kind of lackadaisically cross over and then

220
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: Harold Dmirez is safe. He's logged a few infield singles

221
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: that fashion as well. The league will catch up to him,

222
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: and maybe this is just a twenty four year old

223
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: who's excited to be out here, is trying to impress,

224
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: and eventually he will slow down going down the first line.

225
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: But again, let me repeat it from statcast, ninety first

226
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: percent tile sprint speed across the league. It's impressive to

227
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: see someone come up who we've always known could hit,

228
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: but we've had questions about his knee, about his durability,

229
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: about his speed. And not only is he beating it

230
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: down the line, he's doing it easily, and he's top

231
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: ten in the league at that. So, Harold Darmirez, you

232
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: have been awesome. You are my favorite player. Honestly, every

233
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: time you do something, I look at my wife and

234
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: then she goes, yeah, yeah, Harold did something, absolutely because

235
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: I am so thrilled for this guy, everything that he

236
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: has overcome, all the times he was let go, all

237
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: the times he was told that his development was going

238
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: to be deduced or reduced rather because of the knee injury.

239
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: He bet on him self, He bet on the Marlins,

240
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: and it seems like a marriage made in heaven. Hit

241
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: over the week, Harold Ramirez. All right, So then for

242
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: the draft, which is what we're really all excited for.

243
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: Depending on when you're listening to this, it could have

244
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: already happened, it's about to happen, or whatever the case is.

245
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: But Monday the draft is taking place. Now, the draft

246
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: runs for a few days, but Monday is Round one

247
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: as well as the competitive Balance round and Round two.

248
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: Monday evening will be the night that the Marlins can

249
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: truly change their organization. They have the number fourth overall pick,

250
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: the number thirty five thirty five overall pick, and the

251
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: forty sixth overall pick. Now on earning their stripes, myself

252
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: and Ian went very in depth into what we would

253
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: consider doing, what the board might look like right. We've

254
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: never pretended that we've gone to Vanderbilten and scouted in

255
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: life JJ Bleda. But there's something about the critical eye.

256
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: Those that have been around base that could look at

257
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: film extensive film, can look at swings and can give

258
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: you an opinion. My opinion has been very simple, and

259
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: I sent this out at least when it comes in

260
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: reference to the number four overall pick. I sent this

261
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: out today with the understanding that Adli Rushman and Bobby

262
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: Witt Junior are likely gone by number four. Here are

263
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: my top four or here are my top choices for Miami.

264
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: One and one A will continue being JJ Bleda and

265
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: Andrew Vaughan. I have discussed this across the podcast in

266
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: all of my writing on earning their stripes. I think

267
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: there's actually quite a consensus amongst fans and maybe some

268
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: media as well about that JJ Blidah or Andrew Vaughan

269
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: being at the top. As a matter of fact, if

270
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: you go look at almost every single mock, the latest

271
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: one at least, you will see JJ blddah as the choice.

272
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: And the only exceptions are those taking Andrew Vaughn as

273
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: an alternative to JJ blude. Those are my one A

274
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: and those are interchangeable for me. There are some individuals.

275
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: My partner, Ian Smith, is a stout one on JJ

276
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: blde and then two on Andrew va On. I'm not

277
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm you know, doing cartwheels. If I was athletic enough,

278
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: I would run marathons. If I was athletic enough, I

279
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: would celebrate all night long. If it's JJ butter A Drevon,

280
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: have no problem with either of those at number four.

281
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: After that, I take I'm gonna say maybe a two

282
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: foot two feet drop in excitement and I go with CJ. Abrams.

283
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: That would be my third choice, even though really it's

284
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: second choice, because I'm okay with either one at the top.

285
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: I think that the Marlins fans and us, even possibly us,

286
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: have done a disservice with CJ. Abrams because we're so

287
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: excited about the college bat, right, We're so excited about

288
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: the advanced bat for all the reasons that I have

289
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: dictated myself. We want someone with a quick ETA. We

290
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: want someone with an advanced bat tool, a hit tool,

291
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: at least from what we can see on the film,

292
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: someone with a fluid swing. JJ bled and Andrewon's bad. But man,

293
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: I've started to see some people get really disappointed if CJ.

294
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: Abrams is the choice. And while that wouldn't be my prerogative, Guys,

295
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: this is still an elite prospect, you know. This is

296
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: still someone who in a lot of drafts would go

297
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: number one, number two. This is just a loaded draft

298
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: Abrams is you know. I guess he's getting like the

299
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: Bobby Wit treatment, where because Bobby Wit is here, his

300
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: profile doesn't look as exciting. This is still someone who

301
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: could develop a fifty five plus hit tool, can be

302
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: elite at shortstop, even though there are questions about whether

303
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: he would have to move to center field, this is

304
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: still someone you should be very excited for, and he's

305
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: my alternative to either Bladet or Vond. After that, I

306
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: go back to college advance bats. Hunter. Bishop would be

307
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: my guy, but there are holes in the swing. He's

308
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: really or just he looks like he can play football

309
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: right now. His body is fit for an athletic type

310
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: of like prototype of what an athlete looks like. He

311
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: has immense power, but there are questions about the hit

312
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: tool and there are some hitches in the swing. After

313
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: that we go to a prep advance bat advanced. He

314
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: might end up being the best bat actually in this

315
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: entire draft. Riley Green, then a college shortstop, Bryson stop,

316
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: and then at number seven, I actually have someone that

317
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: I think a lot of individuals would be angry at

318
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: because he's a pitcher. And I've said it multiple times,

319
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: it's bats bat's bats in this draft. But quite frankly,

320
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, you know, the board has lined up,

321
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: or a lot of the individuals ahead, some red markers

322
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: come up in the in their profile, or something happens

323
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: with injury. I have no idea how it would happen

324
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: that Nick Lodolo would be the pick, but he would

325
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: absolutely be the only picture that I consider, So I

326
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: have him number seven, and then eight is another advanced

327
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: college bat with Josh Young, who plays third but is

328
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: a big guy can transition to different positions. That's how

329
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 1: my that's how my top eight would look. But make

330
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: no mistake, from JJ Bleda Andrew Vaughan, there's about a

331
00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: two step drop from JJ Blada and trovon to CJA Rooms.

332
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: Rather so from Vaughn to Abrams there's about a two

333
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: step drop, but then from Abrams to Bishop it's a

334
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: huge gap. So if you're asking me who the choice

335
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: has to be, has to be one of those three. Bladay,

336
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: Vaughn or Abrams. Green is an outside possibility, I guess

337
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: as well. But man, it would be really surprising if

338
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: by this time tomorrow, or if you're listening in the morning,

339
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: by the nighttime, Bladet Von or Abrams is not a

340
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: Miami Marlin's prospect. So that's where I'm going with it.

341
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: You know, I can consider the concept of an underslot

342
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: because there are some individuals, even though I'm not in

343
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: favor of that. And again we discussed on on ets.

344
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm not in favor of an underslot here, but there

345
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: are individuals at thirty five and forty six that you

346
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: if you went underslot to save some money, then could

347
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: pull back up, can price them out the same way

348
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: that Banfield was priced out, and look at uh, what

349
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: kind of a prospect he is. So there are options.

350
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: There is what I'm saying. As for me, Bladay, Vaughn

351
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: or Abrams, we'll see what the Marlins do at number four,

352
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: all right, without wasting any more time. I am excited

353
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: for you to listen to this guy talk. I'm excited

354
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 1: for y'all to find out about his stories, about what

355
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: matters to him, about who he is for someone who

356
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: bleeds baseball, and you're gonna find out about that right

357
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: now with George Alvarado joining us today is George Alvarado.

358
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: He is a realtor and a baseball coach in the

359
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: upstate South Carolina region and really just a lover of

360
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: all things baseball. George has been a Marlins fan since

361
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: he moved to Miami in nineteen ninety five, and he's

362
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: joining us to chat a little bit about the state

363
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: of the Marlins, Twitter scorn fans and what the future

364
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: holds for the fish. You know, no one's going to

365
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: know this except George and myself. But this is actually

366
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: round two of our interview because we just did an

367
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: entire hour together and then technical difficulties love to occur,

368
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: So this will be round two for us, but round

369
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: one for you guys. George is a really good baseball mind.

370
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: I love engaging with him on Twitter. I genuinely mean that.

371
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: It's not just to puff him up a little bit.

372
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: And ever I'm on Twitter and I'm having a good conversation,

373
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: George is usually a part of it. So George brother,

374
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: thank you for coming on for the second time today.

375
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: How you doing man?

376
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: Good? Still good? Still good? Great? Great? Better the second time?

377
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah, just even even more smooth and

378
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: more electric and more excited the second time. I love

379
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: it all right. So you know, obviously I want to

380
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: start off with them getting to know you a little

381
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: bit more. I know a little bit about you, where

382
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: you're from, who you are, but I want the listeners

383
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: to know a little bit about who George is as well.

384
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: So tell us a little bit about yourself and tell

385
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: us about your Marlin's fandom.

386
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 3: I'm twenty eight born in Venezuela. Moved to the state's

387
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 3: Miami specifically in ninety five, and now I've been in

388
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 3: South Carolina since about two thousand and six, right after

389
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 3: well making Tree and it hit, so kind of traveling

390
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: up this is about as north as I'll go because

391
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 3: I don't like the cold. Imagine that a kid from

392
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 3: Miami not liking the cold. But no, I mean baseball fan,

393
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 3: you know, the right as far as like baseball goes,

394
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 3: Venezuela's like right in there with the Caribbean. And that's

395
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 3: just the way of life. So that's kind of where

396
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 3: my my fandom started. It's just something that you grow up,

397
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 3: you know, you grow up doing. And when we moved

398
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 3: to the States, my dad got me in a baseball

399
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 3: and then of course the Marlins are the hometown team.

400
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 3: And so when ninety seven hit, I was still a

401
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 3: little young, so I don't have the as Chris memories.

402
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 3: I don't think any of us do from when we

403
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 3: were But as as time kind of went on, started

404
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 3: attending more games, and I think I mentioned it last,

405
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 3: I was like, you know, I was sitting there with

406
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 3: you know, as Twitter likes to joke, all seven of

407
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: the Marlins fans in you know, ninety five weather at

408
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: a prop at Propeller Stadium. So as as time went on,

409
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: I just got more and more into it, and then

410
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: I was lucky enough to be able to see the

411
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 3: Marlins win the two thousand and three World Series. I

412
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: was actually sitting out in left field for the whenever

413
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 3: they clinched it against whenever they cleansed the series against

414
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 3: the Giants where Conine made the throw and it was

415
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 3: like JT snow comes barreling in and Everybody's like, did

416
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: he hold on to it? And you know, Pudge comes up,

417
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 3: but it's just.

418
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: Like, you know, I was jealous.

419
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,719
Speaker 3: That was like one of the coolest moments for me

420
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 3: as a as a Marlins fan, being able to be

421
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 3: there and then being Venezuelan. Having Miggey Cabrera at twenty

422
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 3: years old going opposite field against Roger Clemens was super

423
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 3: super dope too. Moved up here into into Braves Country, and.

424
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, you're right at the heart of Braves.

425
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 3: Nation, unfortunately, but but no, you know, at least they're

426
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 3: in the n E. So you do get a little

427
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 3: bit of Marlin's talk, and every every now and then

428
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: you'll run into somebody wearing either a Marlin's hat and something,

429
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 3: I'd be like, are you really a Marlins fan or

430
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 3: it's just a fashion thing. And you know they see

431
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: me walking with my Miami lanyard, which, hey, if anybody

432
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: from the Marlins is listening, I'd love to have a

433
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 3: new one if anybody wants to send one one.

434
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: Hint, hint, wink wink, you know.

435
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, then I found Marlon's Twitter and it's been awesome, awesome,

436
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,959
Speaker 3: except when you gotta battle, when you gotta like battle people.

437
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, the droves of people coming in.

438
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that that's every now and then. That's uh kind

439
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 3: of you just take a deep breath and like, all right,

440
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 3: how deep are we to get into it? But you know,

441
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 3: I love being on there and talking just like I

442
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 3: told you earlier man, talking to Marlin's baseball and baseball

443
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: in general. I could do it forever, so much so

444
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 3: that and and Zach and Ashley were able to see it.

445
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 3: Shout out, guys. But my left leg is a baseball

446
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 3: sleeve and so on the inside of my calf. I

447
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 3: have a couple, you know, I have my idols. I

448
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 3: have Omarvis scale with a silhouette of him jumping and

449
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 3: turning in the ble play. Outside of my leg I

450
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 3: have in the middle is a baseball. On the lower

451
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 3: part of my shin, I have forty two for Jackie Robinson. Uh.

452
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 3: And then up top it's a quote from Babe Roof

453
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 3: where he says it's hard to beat a person who

454
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 3: never gives up. And then on the back it's actually

455
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 3: probably I love them all, but one of the my

456
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 3: cooler ones where bottom it is a little baseball field

457
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 3: transitions into a Venezuelan flag and then directly on my

458
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 3: calf and I know people have seen it, but it's

459
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 3: the picture of Miguel Garda with josel Due where they're

460
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 3: standing at first base, and you know it's it looks

461
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 3: like a dad and his son. I have that on

462
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 3: my calf. So when I was deciding, you know, hey,

463
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 3: I kind of want to get a tattoo, you know,

464
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 3: what's something that that I'll ever ever you know, that

465
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 3: will never ever change for me. And it's just like, well,

466
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: what's the one thing that I've been doing since I

467
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 3: was little, and that was baseball, and so that was that.

468
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, So no one at all can ever doubt the

469
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: fact that when I introduced you as someone that's all

470
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: about baseball. That is absolutely, absolutely the case. Like you

471
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: just show your left your left leg.

472
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 3: That's it, my left My left leg is the only

473
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 3: tattoos I have. I want to Uh, it's true what

474
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 3: they say. It's kind of like an addiction. You get one,

475
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 3: you want to get more. But that's that's the one,

476
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 3: you know, It's it's a few different pieces. But yeah, yeah,

477
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: lower left leg.

478
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Hopefully the Marlins can do something in the

479
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: next few years to get you to add something out

480
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: there of some of some importance.

481
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 3: I've debated it. I was I thought about finding a

482
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 3: place to put all three Marlin's logo because I you know,

483
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 3: you can't really just pick one, right. I was just like, yeah,

484
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'll save a spot somewhere or one day,

485
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 3: one day it'll go on somewhere that's ever forever dying.

486
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 3: I'll probably the day I die, I'll probably be asked

487
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 3: if I get buried or cremated, just have something Marlins

488
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 3: on me.

489
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go, Hey, I want to

490
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: ask you about something so obviously, like you said, you're

491
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: in the heart of Braves country. You know, when you

492
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: transitioned over there. Since the time you've been over there,

493
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: you've been able to see the Braves go from somewhat

494
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: competing to then rebuilding to not not being very good

495
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: at all to now starting to come out of it, right.

496
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: And the hope is that then our marlins are kind

497
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: of following that path. They're following the path where in

498
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: two years the fish are where the braves are now,

499
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: where they're young, they have the building blocks to compete

500
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: around and to add to to really be you know,

501
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: competitive World Series competitors every single year talk a little

502
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: bit about the parallel that you see there, that dynamic

503
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: being in a location where the geographical team is now

504
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: coming out of it, but your team is now going

505
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: into that type of path.

506
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so here it was it was a lot of

507
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 3: the same, but just not as extreme m uh andromatic.

508
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 3: You know, people are like, yeah, the birds are terrible

509
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 3: this year. No, man, the brids are gonna be terrible

510
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: next year. But then you know the young guys Akuna

511
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 3: and Albi's and dance By Swans. Everybody was really excited

512
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 3: for Dansby Swanson because he's a local kid, right, so

513
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 3: when they when they got him, everybody was just like

514
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 3: here we go. You know, it didn't hurt that he

515
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 3: was I'll try what number three?

516
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, one of the top five consensus.

517
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he came out pretty high in that draft.

518
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 3: And so it's just as as those guys continue to

519
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: develop and then you know, you get a guy like Kakuna.

520
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 3: Now he's kind of like the the exception. I mean,

521
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 3: the guy's a stud, but it brings is a lot

522
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 3: more excitement. And so they've they took their time, and

523
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 3: they were bad, and now they've built, and now they

524
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 3: have guys in the minor leagues that are coming in

525
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 3: and you know, you're seeing where we want to end up.

526
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 3: Their problem now is the pitching. And I'm here, you

527
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 3: hear it all the time. Man, we should go get

528
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 3: kimberl Man. We need you know, we need pitching help.

529
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 3: And I'm always like, yo, I know a couple of

530
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 3: guys in South Florida like coul Bright help, you know,

531
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: but it's uh, yeah, that's where you want to get to.

532
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 3: You know, they signed Markkus, which was, you know, a

533
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 3: good veteran piece whenever they signed him, and they kind

534
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: of lucked out with getting m crt. It was like

535
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 3: one of my favorite players. And that's that's gonna that

536
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 3: is the model you want to follow. They spent an

537
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 3: international free agent, they built through the drafty, they added

538
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 3: a couple veteran pieces, and you know they are you

539
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 3: know they they really weren't meeting expectations this year, and

540
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 3: then they brought up Austin Riley and it's just like,

541
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 3: oh my god, you know, here's some backup, right.

542
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: And you don't know, in two three years that might

543
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: be whoever the Marlins choose at number four tomorrow, Right,

544
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: it might be two to three years down the line

545
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: where there's building blocks there, because I would imagine by

546
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, you're looking at Monte and

547
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: Brinson and all of them are at least you know

548
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: what they are to a certain extent, or you know

549
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: what they could be. And it might be a JJ

550
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: blede that fills the Austin Riley's shoes of adding that

551
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: potent offensive bat or and Andrew vaugh or whoever the

552
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: case is that they pick tomorrow. But to your point,

553
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: it's sounding like it's going to be a similar plan.

554
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: It looks like it's a similar plan. There's pitching that's

555
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: that's deep. Now the Braves are having their own issues

556
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: at the professional level, but the Braves are known for

557
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: having one of the best farm systems with pitching. What

558
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: does that sound familiar to, Well, the Marlins, right, they

559
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: have their bats. I think the one exception here that

560
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: everyone brings up is, you know, the Braves were able

561
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: to keep Freddy Freeman and he was like that core

562
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: piece that was able to survive the rebuilding. The Marlins

563
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: weren't able to do that. Then again, Freddy Freeman didn't

564
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: exactly demand a trade, you know, So I think that's

565
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: the big difference. But it's interesting to see that you're

566
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: in a location again that kind of understood. Although you said,

567
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: you know, people still complained. People still said, oh, we're

568
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: going to be awful this year, We're going to be

569
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: awful next year. And now they're starting to see the light.

570
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: The hope is that the Fish get to that point.

571
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,959
Speaker 1: For you, I actually want to ask you then, just

572
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: just you individually, how do you see the changes? And

573
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: you could take it however you want, whether on field

574
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: or off field. What do you see the changes that

575
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: your organization's going through right now? Yeah?

576
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. It's having the new ownership,

577
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 3: you know, engage with the fans and listen, and it's

578
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: it's something that I don't think we've ever had, you know,

579
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,239
Speaker 3: going back to you know, I guess maybe outside of

580
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 3: when it originally when the Marlins were originally introduced to

581
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball, where it's like, oh, what are we

582
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 3: going to be named? And I think, you know, it's

583
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 3: like the Flamingos or the Manatees, and you know, it

584
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 3: ended up being the Marlins. But when everything was transitioning

585
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 3: to the new stadium and the new Jerseys, it was

586
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 3: just like, hey, guys, surprise, this is what we have

587
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 3: in store for you, versus like, hey, you know, this

588
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 3: isn't something that happens very often. Let's take some fan feedback.

589
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 3: And so I've really enjoyed seeing that their interactions and

590
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 3: all the changes that they're making, whether it be at

591
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 3: the stadium itself for the food, the rebranding, all meanwhile

592
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: developing you know, the major the major League product. Uh,

593
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 3: we didn't have a farm system before. You know, I

594
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 3: remember how many times where we kind of hovering close

595
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 3: to five hundred kind of in it kind of not

596
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 3: hey just need to to get into the wild card

597
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 3: and then g gets hurt and there's nobody to bring

598
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 3: up and there goes the season, right.

599
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: And there's also no one down there to trade as

600
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: a prospect to get someone to come on over. It

601
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: was a very like you said, barren farm system. There

602
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: no farm system, no one to come up, and no

603
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: one to trade away to get that extra picture or

604
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: that extra bat that they needed.

605
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 3: And I mean and even when there was, it.

606
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: Was poorly misused.

607
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 3: I've I've here, I've recently started making the joke where

608
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 3: it's just like, you know, we traded Josh Josh Naylor

609
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 3: for the ability to alienate Andrew Kashner for two months,

610
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 3: you know, because and the guy was not good. So

611
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 3: so I've I've really enjoyed everything that they're doing, the

612
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 3: the investments in the international market, whether it be going

613
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 3: after players like vvm H and his brother and I

614
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 3: guess they were in on Sandy at some point and

615
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 3: then like the PD stuff came out, but that that investment,

616
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 3: the Academy's like all that stuff, like, uh, the the

617
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 3: the investing in classes to make sure that everybody you know,

618
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 3: learns how to speak Spanish. Uh. There was I think

619
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 3: it was on the Baseball America podcast that those guys

620
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 3: brought up an interesting point about Carter Stewart, who just

621
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 3: signed to go play in Japan. It's like he's gonna

622
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 3: go to a new country, you know, even further than

623
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 3: what the Latin American guys do. But he's gonna it's

624
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 3: a new culture, it's a new language. You know, that

625
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 3: transition is hard enough within itself to be able to say, hey, guys,

626
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 3: we really have an interest and bringing you guys on.

627
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 3: And you know, I'm sure like if I was an agent,

628
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 3: I'd be like, what does this organization have to offer

629
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 3: my guys? Well, an organization that is making taking steps

630
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 3: to make that transition easier for the guys is I

631
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 3: think it's like just extremely underrated and everybody likes the

632
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 3: poke fun of it. But you know, again, when the

633
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 3: guys feel comfortable, they play well, and they play well,

634
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 3: they develop and next thing you know, you know, we

635
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 3: got studs coming through.

636
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean, I think it's genius and it's

637
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: I believe it's not even just English or Spanish, it's

638
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,479
Speaker 1: also Spanish to English, Like it's both ways. Where you're

639
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: building complete players who can engage in a clubhouse and

640
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: for the kids that are coming over at you know,

641
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: the young age of sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, from international signings.

642
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: Miami should be that ideal place, and we spoke about

643
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: it in our first recording. You know, you have the

644
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: tropical climate, you have a quick airplane ride away from

645
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: going home. It's closer to home than any other stadium,

646
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: any other baseball professional city that you can find. Now

647
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: we're adding this concept of hey, we're not going to

648
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: treat you like we're not going to talk to you

649
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: just because you speak a different language. We're going to

650
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: try to learn. We're going to try to be this

651
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: really inclusive organization. I mean, people can make fun of

652
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: it all we want. They make fun of anything that's positive.

653
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: You know, the team rebrands and the retail numbers are

654
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: really good. Oh, well, they should be focusing on the

655
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: on field. The season ticket prices food goes down. Oh,

656
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: they should be focusing on the on field. As if

657
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: organizations can't do both, right, Yeah.

658
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 3: And I think you said it on the on the

659
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 3: on one of the podcasts where it's just like you're

660
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 3: not taking the millions of dollars that are allocated for

661
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 3: you know, for food and throwing them into players salary, Like,

662
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 3: that's not how businesses work, right. There's a certain allotment

663
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 3: of funds to every department and you want to maximize those.

664
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 3: And I think that's something that the lowrial ownership, you know,

665
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 3: failed miserably, like year after year, and we're seeing the effects.

666
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: Of that, right, We're seeing a change, and a very

667
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 1: welcome change, if at least in my sight, Man, George Brother,

668
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: I want to give you enough time to talk about,

669
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: you know, a beautiful story the Make a Wish conversation

670
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: as well as the concept of how that kind of

671
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: translates to being a Marlin fan or a rebuild or

672
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: even with the two thousand and three club wherever you

673
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: want to take that. But let the people know a

674
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: little bit about about that story.

675
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, my my best friend, I want to say,

676
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 3: three years ago, committed to hiking make from Make a Wish.

677
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 3: So here in South Carolina they have the trail Blaze Challenge,

678
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 3: which is twenty eight point three miles through the Foothills

679
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 3: trail and you commit to hiking that along with raising money.

680
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 3: So when he did it, he was probably three hundred

681
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:03,720
Speaker 3: and thirty. Give it probably gives give a little bit there,

682
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 3: but he did it. I took him about fourteen and

683
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 3: a half hours, almost fifteen hours. And so since then

684
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 3: he's been trying to get me to do it. And

685
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 3: he recently lost like one hundred and twenty pounds, like

686
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 3: a complete different person. So he's yeah, I mean, it's

687
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 3: crazy the difference, and he's just like, hey, hike with

688
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 3: me this year, and he's been he's been trying to

689
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: get me to do it, and I'm like, no, dude,

690
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 3: you know, I don't hike. That's not my thing. But

691
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 3: I was just like, you know, twenty eighteen was like

692
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 3: a really big and busy year with my with my business.

693
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 3: I also had a part time job and uh we

694
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 3: you know, played baseball during the year, and we were

695
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 3: trying to we were getting married. I was getting married,

696
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 3: so just everything, everything, every thing. I kinda left the.

697
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: Uh yes, and congrats on the barriage, by the way,

698
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: and thank you to the missus for letting me share

699
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: you now two hours instead of just one. Thank you

700
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: so very much to the family.

701
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 3: But yeah, so like it was, it was a pretty

702
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 3: big year. And I'm usually playing flag football year round

703
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 3: and then baseball whenever baseball season comes around. But I

704
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 3: didn't really get to do that. I was coming off

705
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 3: shoulder surgery tail end of twenty sixteen seventeen, and so

706
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 3: I said, you know what, as a as a physical

707
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 3: and mental challenge to myself and to support something that

708
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 3: my best friend is really passionate about, I said, I'll

709
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 3: hike it with you. I will commit, And so we

710
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 3: did it. May fourth. It stormed on us. I was soaked. Thankfully,

711
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 3: I had a I had a change of socks. Did

712
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 3: it really it didn't even come much into use because

713
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 3: I got to mile twenty two and it was it

714
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 3: was storming, and I was like, let me draw my feet,

715
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 3: let me try and draw my shoes. I popped in

716
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 3: a van to get away from it, to try and

717
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 3: get out of the rain and let my feet drive,

718
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 3: put my socks back on, hit the you know, h

719
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 3: hit the trail again, and like ten minutes later they're

720
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 3: just soaked again, and I'm like, okay, I get it,

721
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 3: but but yeah, it was. It was awesome. It was incredible,

722
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 3: an incredible experience. You know, all the cliches in the book,

723
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 3: they are it. So I mentioned it, I know, we

724
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 3: talked about it, and I forget where I mentioned it,

725
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 3: but during the the hike, you know, the night before

726
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 3: we tried to go to bed early. We I think

727
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 3: I fell asleep around ten thirty and was up two thirty,

728
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 3: so about five hours of sleep the night before. We

729
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 3: hike twenty eight point three miles. It was it was stupid.

730
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 3: It just you're so hyped you can't go to sleep

731
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 3: and need to be up early. We get to the trail,

732
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 3: start about to start about five five fifteen, and the

733
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 3: first four miles are pretty much nothing but incline, and

734
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 3: I was just like, I think I one mile in,

735
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 3: I kind of my foot slipped on a rock. My

736
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 3: foot turned outward and it almost just like I thought,

737
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 3: I not necessarily tore anything, but I definitely felt a

738
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 3: little burning sensation in the arch of my right foot,

739
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 3: and I'm just like, this is how we're starting out this,

740
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be dealing with this all day and so

741
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 3: we can set one Yeah. Yeah, it was like super

742
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 3: early in where that happened, and you know, but then

743
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 3: it got better and I was just like, Okay, maybe

744
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 3: I didn't you know, I looked out just be careful

745
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 3: stepping and whatnot, and I kept going again. First four

746
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 3: miles they were absolutely terrible, and I was just like,

747
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 3: I want to quit. I want to go home, Like, no,

748
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 3: I'm done. I don't If the first four miles are

749
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,959
Speaker 3: like this, I can only imagine what the other twenty

750
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 3: four are going to be like. But then got to

751
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 3: the first aid station, top my water off and kind

752
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 3: of hey, guys, hey, I made it to the first checkpoints,

753
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 3: Let's head to the next one. And during the next

754
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 3: eight miles to the next checkpoint, I felt amazing. I

755
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 3: was running. I'm not a runner at all whatsoever, you know,

756
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 3: unless on the baseball field or some kind of sports.

757
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 3: But other than that, I hate running. And I was great.

758
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 3: I was, you know, kind of sprinting through some of

759
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 3: the sections, and I just super energized, and I was like, hey, actually,

760
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 3: i'm good. I'm good. We're gonna finish this, and I'm

761
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 3: ready to go. I'm ready to go. Let's do this again.

762
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 3: When's the next one. I'm committed. I'm committed. I'm in.

763
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 3: I'm in. And then get to the second checkpoint and

764
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 3: then we're on ten, you know, ten more miles. The

765
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 3: back I actually ended up getting wasn't paying attention and

766
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 3: so I let it go too long, but started getting

767
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 3: blisters right out on my achilles on both and I'm

768
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 3: just like, oh man, this is terrible. This doesn't really

769
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 3: feel good. I started getting one right in the same

770
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 3: arch of my foot on my right foot, and I'm

771
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 3: just like, this is awful. Somebody take me home, like

772
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 3: I'm done. I just you know, at this point, like

773
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 3: my knees started bugging me about seven miles in, yeah,

774
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 3: about seven miles in, and then.

775
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: Ye your fare obstacles, yeah.

776
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 3: I mean, and then I started overcompensating for my right knee,

777
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 3: and then my left knee started hurting, and I guess,

778
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 3: long story short, this kind of battle went on throughout

779
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 3: the whole day to where it's just like, no, like

780
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 3: I'm done, I'm never doing this again. And then oh,

781
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 3: I'm definitely doing this again. Heck yeah, like let's do it.

782
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 3: I am ready. And it went on through the whole day.

783
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 3: And then I get to the end. I get to

784
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 3: the Wish miles the last mile, and I mean, for

785
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 3: my dragon ball Z fence, I felt like I'd eaten

786
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 3: a sensubam and it was just like energy through the

787
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 3: roof the make a Wish guys and ladies, they do

788
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 3: a little something there that it just you know, I'm

789
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 3: like running through and I'm like choking up, trying not

790
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 3: to cry from the emotion. Like it's just an amazing feeling. Ah.

791
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 3: And so I likened that journey to what we're going

792
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 3: through now, because it's the you know, the ownership came back,

793
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 3: and there's the whole thing with the Scout and kind

794
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 3: of the way that he was terminated and you know,

795
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 3: the Andre Dawson and Jeff Conan and kind of how

796
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 3: how that happened, and everybody's like, oh, great, here we go.

797
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 3: Now now I'm done. That was ridiculous. But then they

798
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 3: do the rebrand and Arcolarees and the demolo campaign and

799
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 3: it's just like, hey, well, maybe this isn't so bad

800
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 3: after all, you know, and then they trade, you know,

801
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 3: they they trade Yelli and they trade JT and it's

802
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 3: you know what, this sucks, and you know, it's just

803
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 3: that the ebbs and flow of everything. The hope is

804
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 3: that when it you know, when you get to the wishbout,

805
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 3: when you see the light at the end of the

806
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 3: tone and you're almost there, that it'll all be worth it,

807
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 3: and you know, the everything will come together. The stuff

808
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 3: that they're doing internationally, the stuff in the draft, the players,

809
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 3: the development, the rebranding, and then you know, the finishing

810
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 3: touch will be that these guys come up and you

811
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 3: have a super fun and exciting team in the majors

812
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 3: that's winning.

813
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: Right, and that's sustainable, and then really for a lot

814
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: of fans, that they keep them right. I mean, if

815
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: we're being honest and you can't keep everybody. But once

816
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: we get to that, you know, wish mile, and we're

817
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: towards the end and they're competing, the hope is this

818
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 1: doesn't we don't have to go back to the bottom, right,

819
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: We can continue this with the same kind of excitement

820
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: with the way that you say you sprinted the last

821
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: part with that same kind of excitement, instead of having

822
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: to have a full reset. And I guess that's really

823
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: why I just empathized a lot with that illustration number one,

824
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: because it's a beautiful thing that you did, right, We're

825
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: not even trying to compare that one to one with

826
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: the Marlins are doing. What you did was beautiful, but

827
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: it illustrates what a lot of fans probably feel, which

828
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,280
Speaker 1: is that they feel sore from everything that's happened before.

829
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 1: They feel pissed off. If we're just being honest, that

830
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: the trade's hurt, that the trades suck, that you know,

831
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: where is the end? I just want to quit. I

832
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: just want to leave, and that's very easy to do.

833
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: But that when you get to the front, and when

834
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: you get to the end, there was clearly worth it,

835
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 1: and that the path was the right choice after all.

836
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm not I'm not excluded from that frustration.

837
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 3: It would have been awesome to keep Yell. It's, you know,

838
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 3: similar to how you mentioned it, how the Braves kept

839
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 3: Freddy right. But you know what, you can't You can't

840
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 3: have a guy in your clubhouse that doesn't want to

841
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 3: be there because it brings everybody down. I have a

842
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 3: young kid on my team. He's a great kid, but

843
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 3: he's thirteen, and our our team ranges from thirteen to

844
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 3: sixteen and seventeen year olds. But you know, he's he's

845
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 3: sitting on the bench and everybody's up and talking and

846
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 3: the younger guys just naturally aren't gonna get as much

847
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 3: playing time, and he's on the bench. He's kind of quiet,

848
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 3: He kind of has a has a not a great

849
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 3: look on his face. He arms cross body language is

850
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 3: not good. And I talked to him and I'm like, hey,

851
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 3: you know, stick stick it out. Remember you're young. Remember

852
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 3: you're gonna get your shot. And the reason I bring

853
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 3: that up is because I said, look, you gotta realize

854
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 3: that I'm not the only one that's noticing you kind

855
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 3: of slouching here, arms cross body language, you know, just

856
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 3: kind of off putting, like your teammates notice that and

857
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 3: it brings everybody down. And so with with Yellie, like

858
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 3: it would have been awesome to keep him super team

859
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 3: friendly contract. He was a good player when he was

860
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 3: in Miami. Now he's playing absolutely out of his mind

861
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 3: and great for him. But do you want somebody Do

862
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 3: you want the guy that everybody looks up to in

863
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 3: your on your major league team and an organization?

864
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: Do not want to be there exactly?

865
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 3: You know he is he going to be willing to

866
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 3: help the younger guys? Is he gonna rally the team?

867
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 3: You know? It's in again. It sucks, but I would

868
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 3: much rather trade that guy and and try and get

869
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 3: uh you know, uh, I guess capitalize on his value

870
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 3: then have him not be happy and maybe not publicly,

871
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 3: though he definitely publicly was not happy about everything. Going on,

872
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 3: but again, kind of having the locker room not be

873
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 3: a full place for guys to be in and having

874
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 3: a you know, potentially a negative effect on some of

875
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 3: the other guys coming up.

876
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm with you. I mean a again, that's

877
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: why I like the illustration because it wasn't easy. There

878
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: might have been some errors. Like you said, you over

879
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: compensated when one knee got hurt, you over compensated on

880
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: the other one. These are things that happen, and just

881
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: the same way that we're not saying that everything is

882
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,720
Speaker 1: perfect with the rebuild. Everything hasn't been awful with the rebuild,

883
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: and the hope is that we get to that finish line.

884
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: We get to that finish line where one day we

885
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: are very similar to what the braves are at your

886
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: geographical location, and you know, then you could be I'm

887
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: sure you're proud anyway when you're wearing your Marlin's hat

888
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 1: around there, but you could even be take more pride

889
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: in what they've been doing. All right, brother, So we're

890
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: gonna wrap up. We have a lot of things that

891
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 1: we actually you're gonna have to come back for, like

892
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: round three, because there's a lot of things that I

893
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: want to talk about that. We're not gonna be able

894
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: to hit today, but go ahead and let the people

895
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: know where they could find you on Twitter. And I

896
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 1: don't even know. Do you have a picture of your

897
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: of your sleeve anywhere or you have you kept that

898
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more private?

899
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 3: No, no, I love showing that thing. It's it's awesome.

900
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 3: So my Twitter is Gezy in the House and my

901
00:50:56,040 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 3: IG is Jorge Sales the Carolinas. I did some some

902
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 3: rebranding of my own for my business with some of

903
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 3: my social media, so it should be on there. We

904
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 3: did it in different stages. I did outside, inside, back,

905
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 3: and then front. But the pictures should all be on there.

906
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 3: If not, everybody wants to, I may throw it out

907
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 3: on my on Twitter. At some point.

908
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 1: We have we have to see that again. We have

909
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: to see it again, just one last time for Twitter.

910
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: It's with a j correct j e y in the house.

911
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, j e e z y.

Speaker 1: this time. I appreciate it.

915
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,800
