1
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: Stripes Unfiltered, Episode twenty seven. As always, we are here

2
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: with my coast, Isaacazooit Marlins are currently playing the Philadelphia Phillies.

3
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: What's up Isaac doing? Great?

4
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 3: Man?

5
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: Excited to do this with Arm.

6
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 4: It's been too long since we've had him on here,

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 4: so looking forward to this one for sure.

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: The last time we had you, Arm was I think

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: during the lockout we did the Fantasy Draft I believe

11
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: with the Marlins.

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 6: So Arm, Oh, yeah, we're excited.

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: To have you back on. Man.

14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: How's everything good?

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 6: Man, I'm glad to be on. I appreciate you guys

16
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 6: having me on and a lot of a lot to

17
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 6: talk about. Really excited to dive into a lot of

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 6: different topics, and I always appreciate you giving me some

19
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 6: time on here. Yeah.

20
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: So before we get it going, it's gonna be minimum

21
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: Marlins talk here today for the ones listening, But we're

22
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: gonna talk about a lot that has to do with

23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: the Marlins. We'll combine it some way somehow there. But

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: the first thing I want to ask Arm is how

25
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: did just Baseball come to be? How did the media

26
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: company just start for you guys?

27
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, honestly, it's a great question, because funny enough, I

28
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 6: was pretty well on my way to doing the broadcasting

29
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 6: thing right, and that's what I went to college to

30
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 6: do with Syracuse, was to do the play by play,

31
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 6: go to the play by play route broadcasting in the

32
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 6: KP League. I was ready to broadcast in the minor leagues,

33
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 6: and I was looking at a few different opportunities, a

34
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 6: couple within the Marlins organization that I was really excited about,

35
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 6: and then COVID happened, so minor league season canceled. GRADUATE

36
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 6: into that situation. Pretty hard to go from there, and

37
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 6: I was going a bit crazy, didn't know what to do,

38
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 6: was a little bit stuck, and just started fleshing out ideas.

39
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 6: And I always wanted to build on the podcast that

40
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 6: I had hosted, and I always wanted to build a

41
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 6: website where I felt like you could have everything you

42
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 6: want in one place, as you have there on the screen,

43
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 6: where you know, we could have MLB prospects, college, fantasy betting,

44
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 6: and collectibles kind of all in one spot. Where As

45
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 6: I started to pay my own credit card bill, as

46
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 6: I realized I was like, okay, I'm paying for Baseball America.

47
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 6: I'm paying for d one Baseball to keep up with college.

48
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 6: I'm paying for the athletic to keep up with Major

49
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 6: League Baseball if I want to keep up with betting

50
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 6: the action. It's all subscription based, and I was like,

51
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 6: I think we can. We can find a way to

52
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 6: put this together. We still need to probably up the

53
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 6: ante on some of the other verticals, but you know,

54
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 6: I got approached by my partner, Peter Apple, who really

55
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 6: wanted to get into the video side of things too,

56
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 6: and he has just killed it on that side, and

57
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 6: we wanted to have a modern take on on the

58
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 6: way baseball is covered during that time, and COVID leaned

59
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 6: into that really hard. Things took off faster than I

60
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 6: thought they would, and then all of a sudden we

61
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 6: put the broadcasting career on hold and everything really grew

62
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 6: from there, and Peter's been a big part of that,

63
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 6: especially on the social media TikTok side of things, and

64
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 6: that has just been an unbelievable growth engine that I

65
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 6: don't fully understand. But it's been a dream come true, honestly,

66
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 6: and I do miss broadcasting, but this is a pretty

67
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 6: pretty cool situation here.

68
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's an awesome website. I actually haven't been able

69
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 4: to visit it too much. I do watch every single TikTok,

70
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: especially the not gambling advice with Peter like you mentioned.

71
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: But no, it's a phenomenal idea.

72
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 4: You know, you said major league baseball, minor league baseball,

73
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 4: even college. Maybe one of you guys will have high

74
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 4: school as well. But you know, this is a Miami

75
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 4: Marlins podcast, So I gotta get this question out of

76
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 4: the way. The twenty twenty two season has not gone

77
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 4: as brew Sherman kim in I hoped it would. And

78
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 4: I'm not going to ask you just your overall thought.

79
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: Just are there any bright spots for this year?

80
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 5: Yeah?

81
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 6: I think there are. You know, It's it's funny because

82
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 6: when I hosted Locked on Marlins, and that was kind

83
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 6: of the thing that got me really into the podcasting side.

84
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 6: Of of course, Fish Stripes was my first opportunity on

85
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 6: the podcast side, and then got approached by Locked on Marlins,

86
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 6: and you know, that was enough to pay for my

87
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 6: beer and food in college and really finding a way

88
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 6: to be positive on the team. You have to podcast

89
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 6: every day, and now we're seeing Peter Pratt do it. It

90
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 6: is really difficult and and this year I feel like

91
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 6: I have been very hard on the team and very

92
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 6: negative because you know it's it's I don't have to

93
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 6: be positive as much. And and I at the end

94
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 6: of the day, you look behind me. I mean, I've

95
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 6: been a Marlins fan since I was a kid. I

96
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 6: shared that with my dad. It's embedded in me. So

97
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 6: I have been very cynical. But what I will say

98
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 6: is there have been a lot of bright spots and

99
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 6: and things to build off of. Obviously, the offense has

100
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 6: been more than a disappointment, and there's a lot of

101
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 6: questions to be answered there. But I mean the pitching

102
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 6: is all but solved. Man, I think you can roll

103
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 6: into next year. I know injuries have I've kind of

104
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 6: hampered their consistency here, but they didn't really have a

105
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 6: need to be urgent with with piecing together the rotation

106
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 6: when when guys are are falling apart, really on the

107
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 6: offensive side. But when you see what Hazus was Arto's done,

108
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 6: when you see what Edward Cabrera's flash, and I hope

109
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 6: he doesn't get shelld as we're recording this because that

110
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 6: would hurt my case. But still I think you can

111
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 6: feel really good about what he's flashed, and then thank goodness,

112
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 6: Trevor Rodgers has really right right at the ship down

113
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 6: the second half of the season here and down the

114
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 6: line here. I think you can see more of that

115
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 6: coming next year. You have those three young guys, Sandy

116
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 6: all contrast now blossomed into the cy young winner in

117
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 6: the National League. You can feasibly say that the rotation

118
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 6: at the very least is going to be one of

119
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 6: the better in the league and has a chance to

120
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 6: be one of the best in the league. We've said

121
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 6: this for a while, but I think it's kind of

122
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 6: reached that point where it really looks like everything we

123
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 6: were hoping it could be. Now, how do they piece

124
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 6: together the offense? That's a big question, But you can't

125
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 6: ignore what the rotation is turned into.

126
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you have the injuries to Max Meyer and

127
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 4: Jake eat or two of the you know, the top

128
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 4: at least you know thirty pitching prospects in all Baseball,

129
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: and they're still able to have seven eight guys that

130
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 4: can really give you fantastic endings in the major leagues.

131
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 4: So I guess my next question would be with how

132
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 4: future the offense is.

133
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: They have a lot of pitching. They have a lot

134
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: of pitching is it.

135
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: No. Obviously, assuming that the free agency is not going

136
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 4: to be superb right, you're not gonna go side and

137
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 4: trade turn, you're not gonna go sign Xander Bogarts. Now,

138
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 4: do they have enough pitching to sort of overcompensate with

139
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: the offense, Because to me, I think it's a fair

140
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 4: statement to say there's nothing that this team can do

141
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 4: realistically to every better than the Braves or the Mets

142
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 4: or the Phillies in the next seven years.

143
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's gonna be tough. I think you

144
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 6: look at the Braves and they're kind of built for

145
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 6: that Bobby Cox era. Yeah, similar dominate the division for

146
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 6: fifteen years. But you look at the at the Mets,

147
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 6: you look at the Phillies there and when now mode

148
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 6: their shelf life a little bit shorter. And I mean

149
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 6: we've seen some of the better divisions in baseball have

150
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 6: three four teams that are in the wild card hunt

151
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 6: or or you know, in the playoff spot. And why

152
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 6: can't the Marlins make the Orioles leave? You know, there's

153
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 6: there's a few answers to that question. Yeah, and they

154
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 6: lack some balance. But the Orioles lacked a lot on

155
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 6: the pitching side. They pieced it together, and I was

156
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 6: shocked that they were able to do that. I think

157
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 6: if the Marlins can find a way to piece the

158
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 6: hitting together and the pitching can can click the way

159
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 6: we know it can you know, I think there's hope there.

160
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 6: But you look at a Degram, who's you know, I'm

161
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 6: slowing down. I hate to say it, not in the

162
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 6: sense of when he's healthy. He still looks like the

163
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 6: same to Grom, But how much can you stretch him out?

164
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 6: How much can you count on him? Same with Max

165
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 6: Scherzer and all of the other guys on the Mets

166
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 6: team are older. I think you could say similar things

167
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 6: about the Phillies. But how do you piece together the offense?

168
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 6: That is the big question. And I know Kim Ang,

169
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 6: which this quote drove me nuts, was the pitching centric thing. Yes,

170
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 6: you're gonna be pitching centric, but that doesn't mean you

171
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 6: neglect offense. And I think they need to find more

172
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 6: of those Mark Kanna type signings rather than those Jorg

173
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 6: Hilaire and Avy Garcia type signings. If they hit on

174
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 6: their free agent signings this year the way some other

175
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 6: teams have, I think it's a different story. But you know,

176
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 6: they went, they swung for the fences quite literally with

177
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 6: the two guys they added, and they lift and now

178
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 6: they're stuck with them. And that's that's the most disheartening part.

179
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 6: That's where I don't know how they fully get out

180
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 6: of this thing, because I don't think they're going to

181
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 6: add that much more payroll.

182
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: There.

183
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 6: There's not that many prospects that you can count on

184
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 6: to say, oh, those guys are gonna come up and

185
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 6: help you. So they're gonna have to find value, whether

186
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 6: that is you know, cheap free agents that you know,

187
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 6: like a Mark Canna I really would have loved for them,

188
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 6: or you know, making a trade or two that you

189
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 6: can go get a close to big league ready prospect,

190
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 6: or you know, a big league bat that a team

191
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 6: might be willing to part with.

192
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 4: And what's even more disheartening for me is that they

193
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 4: had Mark Canna, they had Ala, they had Harold Ramirez,

194
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 4: they had all these eyes that are flourishing and Pennon races.

195
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 4: So that's a little more disheartening. I guess we can

196
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 4: move on to at least a big topic. You know,

197
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: it's around Major League Baseball, American League Most Valuable Player,

198
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 4: Choolatwani won it convincingly last year, and I thought if

199
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 4: anyone was gonna beat show Hayes, well show hate At

200
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: winning that award.

201
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: It was mean vladimirgro Junior last year, you know, So

202
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: then I worry.

203
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 4: I was Okay, even if sho hat is mediocre at

204
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: both pitching and hitting, is he going to be the

205
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 4: shoe in every single year? And obviously unless someone hit

206
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 4: sixty one home runs like the way Judge's going to,

207
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 4: that makes it a little bit of a difference.

208
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 2: So what's your opinion on the American League Most Valuable Player?

209
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 6: Man? This is such a crazy topic because it's one

210
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 6: of those things where at first I was like, are

211
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 6: we really even talking about this? It's Aaron Judge. But

212
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 6: then you see what Otani's continue to do, and I

213
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 6: think it would be ridiculous to be dismissive of that

214
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 6: right and be dismissive of a guy that has been

215
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 6: in the second half one of the best pitchers in

216
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 6: baseball and one of the best hitters in baseball, and

217
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 6: over the course of the year, you know, one of

218
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 6: the better pitchers in baseball and one of the better

219
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 6: hitters in baseball. It's like you're getting Dylan Cees combined

220
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 6: with Jordan Alvarez. This is really what you are getting here.

221
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 6: That said, I think a lot of people that are

222
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 6: pro Otani in this conversation are neglecting the value of

223
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 6: everyday center field. And I think us on this podcast,

224
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 6: especially you guys covering the Marlins, can speak to how

225
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 6: valuable a guy playing center field who is actually good

226
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 6: at it can be. And Aaron Judge is a really

227
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 6: good center fielder. And at the end of the day,

228
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 6: when Otani's Otani pitches every fifth day, and when it's

229
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 6: not pitching, he's d agent, it's still incredible what he's doing.

230
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 6: And this has been a phenomenal season. And I know,

231
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 6: you know, people want to say the narrative side of

232
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 6: it shouldn't matter, but of course it does. You're asking

233
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 6: writers who write stories and like to paint pictures to

234
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 6: not follow the narrative, and an MVP award, of course

235
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 6: they're going to follow the narrative. So I think you

236
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 6: look at what Aaron Judge has done for the Yankees

237
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 6: to help them weather the storm that I mean, this

238
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 6: team has been sneaky, horrible in the second half. Not

239
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 6: just I mean everyone knows how bad they've been, but

240
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 6: even like statistically speaking, the lineups have been pretty futrid

241
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 6: that they've put out. You take Aaron Judge from that team,

242
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 6: I mean, they're not holding on the first place. And

243
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 6: you look at center fielders over the last basically since

244
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 6: baseball started. Because I just tweeted this out today, among

245
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 6: players who have played at least seventy games in center

246
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 6: field in the history of the game, nobody has hit

247
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 6: more than fifty six home runs in a single season.

248
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 6: That's now Aaron Judge. He's the only person to do that.

249
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 6: Resist was Ken Griffy Junior twice and I mean that,

250
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 6: and then of course then you get Mickey Mantle and

251
00:10:53,960 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 6: Willie Mays and then you had Hack something from nineteen thirty.

252
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 6: But that's it, right, So we're talking about some of

253
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 6: the all time greatest and then Aaron Judge and I

254
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 6: think when you look at it from that lens, if

255
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 6: he breaks Roger Merris' record, if there's the tweet, I

256
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 6: think it was Hack Wilson. There we go, Yeah, Hack Wilson.

257
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 6: Look at where he's at here. If he doesn't win it,

258
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 6: If this doesn't win it for Aaron Judge, just rename

259
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 6: it the show. Hey O tany award and give it

260
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 6: to him every single year he's healthy.

261
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Aaron, and that's something interesting you mentioned the second

262
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: half of the Yankees, it's been bad. I mean when

263
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: they win, it's pretty much Aaron Judge carrying this team

264
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: to the win. You look at the highlights, the Homers,

265
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: everything has been doing. He definitely deserves the award and

266
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: if I had to choose, he would be.

267
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: My al MVP.

268
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: But I want to move on to the playoffs. They're

269
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: right around the corner. It's crazier than ever. The NL

270
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: least is as close as it is. I think ELI

271
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: may have what the current bracket would look like. But

272
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: let's just preview the playoffs a little bit, see what

273
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: teams are in there. Let's talk about first the NL

274
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: East arm you think wins that division because the Mets

275
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: had it for the longest time, they lost it for

276
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: a day, they rengained it again. And the Braves are

277
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: just the Braves, and they are really good with what

278
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: they do and they call it. Michael Harris von Gersham,

279
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: Spencer Strider has been amazing, just that young talent they brought.

280
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: They got a Kunya back midway through the season. Just

281
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that NL East at the top and

282
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: then the Phillies are lurking there. But I think they

283
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: would qualify better in the wildcard situation.

284
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean absolutely. I mean, and props of the

285
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 6: Phillies for really hanging around and weathering the storm of

286
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 6: not having Bryce Harper in the lineup. I mean, I

287
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 6: think everybody thought they would fade, and they really kicked

288
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 6: it in gear when he was gone, and then you know,

289
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 6: have continued to do that since he's been healthy. But

290
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 6: you look at the Braves and the Mets, and these

291
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 6: two teams are obviously two of the best in the

292
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 6: National League aside from the Dodgers. But my preseason pick

293
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 6: was the Braves, and I'm gonna stick with that though.

294
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think anybody would be surprised to

295
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 6: see the Mets win. And I think ultimately the series

296
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 6: that these two teams have at the very end of

297
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 6: the season, I believe it's a second to last series,

298
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 6: will probably end up determining how this thing goes. But

299
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 6: I look at the Braves and I just think that's

300
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 6: one of the most balanced teams we've seen. I mean,

301
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 6: they won the World Series last year and they've now

302
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 6: added aside from the fact that they have a healthy

303
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 6: ish A Kunya, he is very banged up right now

304
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 6: and he's talked about that, and I think the numbers

305
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 6: would back that up. But he's still, you know, much

306
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 6: better than average player. Adding Spencer Strider, a top twenty

307
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 6: pitcher in baseball, basically right from the jump. Adding Michael Harris,

308
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 6: who I've really can't emphasize enough how good this kid is.

309
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 6: And I know people I've seen some people saying, oh,

310
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 6: he's two for aggression. He hits them on the ground

311
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 6: too much, hits about too damn hard for it to matter.

312
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 6: With how much he hits it on the ground, He's

313
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 6: one of the best defenders in center field, and he

314
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 6: is just a superstar in the making. I'm actually working

315
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 6: on a story right now, kind of illustrating just how

316
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 6: good he's been. He's been right there with Julio Rodriguez.

317
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 6: As you look at almost every single stat was another

318
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 6: one I put out there f war WRC plus out's

319
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 6: above average stolen bases. Michael Harris is either right there

320
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 6: or better. And that's not a swite of Julio Rodriguez.

321
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 6: So you add two All Star caliber players, you return

322
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 6: ronald A Kunya, your team is just deeper top to bottom.

323
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 6: Austin Riley has taking a leap, and also I know

324
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 6: Freddie Freeman, you lose them, that stanks. Matt Olsen's in there.

325
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 6: It makes up for a little bit of the gap there.

326
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 6: And then Von Grisom's been fantastic. This Brave teems better

327
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 6: than they were last year. That doesn't necessarily mean you

328
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 6: automatically win the World Series, but I think it's really

329
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 6: hard to find a hole with them. And oh yeah,

330
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 6: by the way, they're bullpens phenomenal as well. Their biggest

331
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 6: weakness is a potential Hall of Famer in ken Lee Jansen.

332
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 6: I mean that's just unfair.

333
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's just look here at the bracket. I

334
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: wanted to look at the Ale because you have the

335
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: Guardians there at three, and I know you guys have

336
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: been talking a lot about that Ale CenTra. I want

337
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: to say, and that race there, so just your thoughts

338
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: on I think it's Guardians, Twins and White Sox fighting

339
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: for that top seed there to see who would eventually

340
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: face Tampa Bay and possibly lose.

341
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, you say, fighting for it. I feel like they're

342
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 6: all just passing it back and forth. And finally the

343
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 6: Guardians have separated themselves a little bit. But it seemed

344
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 6: like nobody wanted to win the division for a little

345
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 6: bit year, and ultimately the Guardians just have too much pitching.

346
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 6: Their bullpen is the best in baseball, especially over the

347
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,479
Speaker 6: course of the second half. I mean, it's been outrageous

348
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 6: what they've been able to get from guys like class

349
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 6: Karen Chak, who I know they tried to check his

350
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 6: hair and see if that matter, but obviously that wasn't

351
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 6: That wasn't part of it. It wasn't really checking his hair.

352
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 6: It was like stroking it. I'm sure you guys saw that.

353
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 6: But I mean, this bullpen is insanely good.

354
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: Hard hit ball to first, backhanded by Naylor. Book it.

355
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 3: The Guardians sweep the Angels. They win today by a

356
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: final of fight the three. They have brought their win

357
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: streak to six in a row, and they won eight

358
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: out of their last nine, and they moved to a

359
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: season high eleven games over five hundred.

360
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 6: They've been able to ride that, and then the rotation

361
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 6: is fantastic. I do have my concerns with the offense,

362
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 6: and I think that's going to be a challenge for

363
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 6: them in the playoffs, and as you mentioned, when they

364
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 6: match up with the team like the Rays, who are

365
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 6: going to eat them alive. With their weaknesses against lefties,

366
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 6: you know, especially with some of the gaps they have

367
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 6: in their lineup, that's going to be tough for them.

368
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 6: But you know what, in a three game set, with

369
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 6: the pitching that Cleveland has, their ability to close games out,

370
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 6: they could catch you by surprise. It's easy to win

371
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 6: two games. I think anybody can do it, and I

372
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 6: wouldn't fully sleep on them, especially with the star power

373
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 6: they have in Jay Ram and some of the other pieces,

374
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 6: and Oscar Gonzalez has been swinging a great bat. But

375
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 6: I don't think anybody out of that division really scares

376
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 6: me though. I think the Guardians have finally separated themselves

377
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 6: from the pack.

378
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the only other team I really wanted to touch

379
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: up on was the Cardinals. You see them the third

380
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: playing the Padres. After acquiring Soto and Josh Bell just

381
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: and Josh Hater, this team just hasn't been it.

382
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 6: It's been a struggle.

383
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: Hater.

384
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: The Brewers look like geniuses for trading Josh Hater. Yeah,

385
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: and the pall that they got there, how far can

386
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: it team like maybe the Padres or the Cardinals go,

387
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: depending on who wins that series.

388
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 6: Man, the Padres are one of the toughest teams to

389
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 6: peg because it feels like it's a disaster. There's still

390
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 6: thirteen games over five hundred, and I'm never going to

391
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 6: count a team out that has, you know, two guys

392
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 6: that I think are well on their way to you know,

393
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 6: Cooperstown as if they can continue what they're doing in

394
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 6: Juan Soto and Manny Machado, but then several other really talented,

395
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 6: talented bats through that lineup. Then you also have a

396
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 6: pitching staff that should be better, has not been great,

397
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 6: should be better, but you know, things could click for

398
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 6: them at any given moment. In that regard, Machado's arguably

399
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 6: having the best season of his career. Darbish has looked

400
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 6: much better as of late. Blake Snell is, you know,

401
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 6: kind of tricking you in this jackal and hide type

402
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 6: of performance, but I think overall has looked pretty solid.

403
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 6: Musk Grove is the concern. I think that's the factor

404
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 6: for them. Are you getting first half Joe Musgrove or

405
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 6: getting second half Joe Musgrove, they get first half Joel Musgrove.

406
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 6: I think this team could be a really tough out

407
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 6: in the postseason, especially with the experienced guys that they

408
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 6: have offensively, But you look at the rest of the division,

409
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 6: I mean, the other teams are obviously way out of it.

410
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 6: It's really just about what you can get from trying

411
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 6: to compare it to the Dodgers. I mean, twenty one

412
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 6: games back when your thirteen games over five hundred is insane.

413
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 6: But from the wild card perspective, I mean, I think

414
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 6: the Padres are still that toughest team there outside of

415
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 6: you know, some of the obvious with the Braves or

416
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 6: the Mets that we're talking about. And I think it's

417
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 6: gonna be a really interesting conversation between the Phillies and

418
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 6: the Padres because the Phillies are playing better ball, but

419
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 6: the Padres have way more upside. So it's definitely an

420
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 6: interesting conversation. But to answer your question on the Cardinals,

421
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 6: I think that team's a problem. I think they're gonna

422
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 6: be tough. I do have some questions about the pitching.

423
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 6: I've had questions about the pitching all year long, though,

424
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 6: when they seem to just piece it together and offensively,

425
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 6: I mean, they've got some of the most ridiculous bats

426
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 6: that you're going to see. The Albert Poohol's magic is amazing,

427
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 6: probably arguably the best duo in baseball, and Aeronato and

428
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 6: Goldschmidt and their bullpen as well has been fantastic. Jordan

429
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 6: Montgomery has been one of the best acquisitions at the deadline.

430
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 6: That team is just perennially competitive. And I'll never kunt

431
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 6: a team like the Cardinals out.

432
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 4: You're a question about a team that's sort of on

433
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 4: the outside looking in, as the Brewers, and they made

434
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 4: that deal. Obviously, hindsight is always twenty twenty, But at

435
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 4: the time, did you like that deal for the Brewers,

436
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 4: you know, sort of extending their window a little bit,

437
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 4: but also in the immediate future, really hurting themselves a

438
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 4: little bit by trading it.

439
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, dude, anytime you trade for I mean,

440
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 6: other than Edwin Diaz and what he's done this year,

441
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 6: But you look at the last several seasons, Hater's been

442
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 6: the best closer in baseball and it's not close. Sure,

443
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 6: he was showing some signs of you know, hiccups and

444
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 6: maybe a little bit of regression, but I mean, his

445
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 6: track record speaks for itself. I would have bet on

446
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 6: that too, And it's not like they gave up you know,

447
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 6: Juan Soto Hall it was. It was a good haul

448
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 6: for the Brewers to get. I love some of the

449
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 6: guys that they gotten that deal, including his story Ruiz,

450
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 6: who I think could be a really dynamic players on

451
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 6: pace to sweat I mean eighty something bags, ninety something

452
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 6: mags this year. Robert Gassers are really intriguing left handed

453
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 6: pitching prospect as well. But I mean, you're getting a

454
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 6: guy that looked like he was on his way to

455
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 6: being a Hall of Fame closer, and all of a sudden,

456
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 6: now he looks lost. That's a big problem for them.

457
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 6: Then you also look at you know what the Padres.

458
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 6: Sorry excuse me, but you'll get the Brewers situation where

459
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 6: they've been able to get the prospects and then also

460
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 6: still remain competitive. That's encouraging. My concern is Corbyn Burns.

461
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 6: What's been up with him? And this is a guy

462
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 6: that's been one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball

463
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 6: over the last couple of years. He's taken a step back,

464
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 6: but I think the subtraction of Josh Hater has not

465
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 6: really hurt them whatsoever. Devin Williams has risen to the occasion,

466
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 6: the rest of the bullpen looks still pretty fortified. The

467
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 6: starting pitching is still really good, the offense is better

468
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 6: than it was last year. But the Brewers just, I

469
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 6: don't know, they're kind of missing something there, and I

470
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 6: think that that's ultimately going to keep them a step

471
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 6: behind everybody else. What would you.

472
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: Say would be the world's serious matchup to watch this

473
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: season or what would you predict here?

474
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, it's crazy because I look at the

475
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 6: Dodgers and I don't know if we've seen a more

476
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 6: flawless team in some time. I mean, you can't poke

477
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 6: a hole that again. You talk about the braves biggest weakness,

478
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 6: the Dodgers' biggest weaknesses is Quig Kimberl and just okay,

479
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 6: don't go to him in the postseason. That's fine, they

480
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 6: don't need to. That said, you get a matchup of

481
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 6: the Mets or the Braves and the Dodgers, I think

482
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 6: anybody can beat them of those two teams, because you

483
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 6: look at what the Braves have at the top with

484
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 6: Freed and Strider and the rest of their reliable starting

485
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 6: pitching that they've had this year, on top of the

486
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 6: bullpen and the offense you'll get the Mets. You have

487
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 6: two Hall of famers at the top of your rotation

488
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 6: that would presumably be healthy and can snag two games

489
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 6: right off the jump. But it's pretty hard to envision

490
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 6: the Dodgers not making it through. But it always seems

491
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 6: to be difficult to envision the Dodgers not making it through,

492
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 6: and then they don't. So I'm gonna stick with the Braves.

493
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 6: I think the Braves are gonna surprise people with just

494
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 6: the way they are going to be able to match

495
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 6: up again with the Dodgers. And then on the American

496
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 6: League side, I think it's more clear cut there. I

497
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 6: really do believe we're going to get a World Series repeat.

498
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 6: I think we're gonna run it back Astros Braves, and

499
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 6: this time I think the Astros are gonna give them

500
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 6: a bit better of a punch here, because the Astros

501
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 6: are a much improved team as well. Justin Verlan, I mean,

502
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 6: I know he's been hurt, but you add him to

503
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 6: this team, he would be the runaway cy Young winner

504
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 6: in the American League. If it weren't for his injury

505
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 6: a one to eight four era if I remember correctly,

506
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 6: They've fortified the bullpen, the offense. If anything got better.

507
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 6: Bregman has looked like Bregman of old. Al Tuve has

508
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 6: been one of the best hitters in the second half.

509
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 6: The only concerns Jordan Alvarez. How's he gonna continue to

510
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 6: get back from that hand. But I think we're gonna

511
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 6: get a repeat of that World Series. And they also

512
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 6: added Trey Mancini Christian Vasquez. This is two teams that

513
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 6: made the World Series last year, and I think both

514
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 6: are much better than they were last year. I think

515
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 6: they get back there. I know Major League Baseball might

516
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 6: not love that for ratings purposes, but I think we're

517
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 6: gonna see it kind of run back there. Yeah, and

518
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 6: you look at the Astros.

519
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: You would have thought they would have maybe fell off

520
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: a little bit after losing Carlos Correa, but jord On

521
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: Alviz has just been insane for them. You talk about

522
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: Verlander and the Braves as well, calling up these young

523
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: prospects that have worked out for them, you know, unlike

524
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: the Marlins that we'll talk about later.

525
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: I want to talk about those guys.

526
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: But I want to talk about the amount of young

527
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: players that we've seen being called up this year. Ad

528
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 1: Lee Roschman, Julio Rodriguez started off with the team, Michael Harris,

529
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: Roon Grisham, you talk about Spencer Streder, all these young

530
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: guys are, what have been your thoughts on them? I

531
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: know you cover a lot of them through the minor leagues,

532
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: So if you just want to go into maybe the

533
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: young star that is surprised the most or disappointed you

534
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,479
Speaker 1: at the moment, which disappointing is maybe a little bit

535
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: of an overstatement because these guys just got called up

536
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: and are starting to make their impacts now, and you

537
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: got to give him at least a season. So just

538
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the amount of young guys that have

539
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: been called up this season.

540
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 4: And in the same league as these guys is Jordan Groschans,

541
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 4: who just got his first major league.

542
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 6: That's been a great get for the Marlins, and I'm

543
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 6: glad they're they're giving him a little bit of an

544
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 6: audition now and getting the taste of the big leagues.

545
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 6: I think he can be a solid piece for them.

546
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 6: But yeah, look, get across Major League Baseball, this year. Specifically,

547
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 6: the amount of young talent that's taken over the game

548
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 6: is really exciting. Baseball is in a really good space,

549
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 6: and I mean we're talking about guys that I think

550
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 6: are going to be marketable superstars for some time, and

551
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 6: Juio Arriguez is obviously in that category.

552
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 5: Is Jolio take it off, gets a big jump, a

553
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 5: headlong sliding, Julio is safe his twenty fifth stolen base

554
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 5: of his rookie season, and with that bag, Julio becomes

555
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 5: only the third rookie in major league history with a

556
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 5: twenty five homer twenty five stolen based season. I have

557
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 5: to tell you too, I didn't think he had that

558
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 5: good a jump.

559
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 3: It just outran it. So I'm accelerating into the bag

560
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 3: that he dives in.

561
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: They're able to keep his hand.

562
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 6: On the base.

563
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 5: Now, Julio gets a standing ovation from the crowd as

564
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 5: they put that.

565
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 6: Note up on the board. Jay Rod's going to be

566
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 6: a superstar for a long time, I said. Michael Harris

567
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 6: is comparable right there as well and has been ridiculous.

568
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 6: What's amazing about Michael Harris? And you look at some

569
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 6: of these other prospects like Von Grissom and some of

570
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 6: the other guys they've skipped levels. I mean, I was

571
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,959
Speaker 6: going to see Michael Harris in Double A on a

572
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 6: trip to you know, go get an in person look,

573
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 6: and I get the update on my phone as I'm

574
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 6: driving through Alabama that Michael Harris has been promoted straight

575
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 6: to the major League, straight from Double A after forty

576
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 6: four games at that level, And I'm like, what are

577
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 6: you talking about? But that's a testament to one how

578
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 6: tough the minor leagues are. And I think that's something

579
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 6: that we're seeing that the level of talent is just ridiculous.

580
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 6: I mean, bullpen arms are coming in and they're nasty.

581
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 6: There's really no drop off there, and teams are more

582
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 6: confident in their assessments on their guys within their own organization.

583
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 6: Von Grisom gets to the bump up with even less games

584
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 6: played in Double A. But how about guys like Stephen Kwan,

585
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 6: Jake mccorthy who wasn't much of a factor and now

586
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 6: looks like a really good or a really good young

587
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 6: player as well. Jeremy Paania missed his entire season last year,

588
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 6: barely played any games because he missed with a wrist

589
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 6: injury and jumps right in this year and has been

590
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 6: one of the better young players in baseball as well.

591
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 6: And then Adwie Rutchman j ciro Muto is still the

592
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 6: best catcher in baseball. By the end of the season.

593
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 6: Next year, Adwie Rutchmand will be the best catcher in baseball.

594
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 6: I think convincingly. The youth movement is really exciting through

595
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 6: through the entire game. And that's just on the offensive side.

596
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 6: We're not even talking about Spencer Strodter, who's solidified himself

597
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 6: as possibly a top twenty pitcher in this game. And

598
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 6: a lot of other really exciting young pitching prospects and

599
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 6: young pitchers who have just been spectacular. George Kirby as well,

600
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 6: looks like a bona fide ace and looks like a potential,

601
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 6: you know, frontline guy. How about Nicolodolo as well.

602
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 4: I was going to compare him to Trevor, but not

603
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 4: really exactly comparable at this point, right.

604
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, it's funny because I like, I

605
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 6: like what they do in terms of their fastball, setting

606
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 6: the tone for the rest of their arsenal. And you know,

607
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 6: Ken Walder Chuck was a guy that just got traded

608
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 6: over to Oakland and you know it was part of

609
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 6: that deal for Frankie Mantis and that was the guy

610
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 6: that I compared to Trevor as well, where I think

611
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 6: a lot of a lot of young pitchers. I'm not

612
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 6: saying they've watched Trevor and replicated it, but they taking

613
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 6: a page out of Trevor's book, which is, you know,

614
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 6: dominate with the fastball and then work the change up

615
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 6: off of that and make it really difficult to differentiate

616
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 6: the two out of his hand. The reason why Trevor

617
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 6: was struggling is he didn't establish the fastball. The command

618
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 6: of the fastball just wasn't there. But you're seeing Nick

619
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 6: Widolo do that now. But his breaking ball is on

620
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 6: just another level. And that's a guy that now looks

621
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 6: like the ace of the Reds. I mean, the amount

622
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 6: of young All Stars in this game right now is insane.

623
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 6: And baseball is in a really good spot.

624
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 2: Why do the Marlinson have one of those guys on.

625
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 6: The offense on the offensive side, you know.

626
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 4: Out one and the Salas sort of had an off year.

627
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 4: I think I still think it can be good, but

628
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 4: I think the ceiling is limited.

629
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 2: Khalil, Why do they not have a single guy.

630
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,959
Speaker 6: You know, it's a good question because I look at

631
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 6: the Royals, and the Royals are very similar on the

632
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 6: pitching side, and you know, the Royals scout guys, continue

633
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 6: to draft guys pitching wise that fit a similar profile

634
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 6: who they struggle to develop and not acknowledging that, hey,

635
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 6: we struggle to develop these kinds of guys. Maybe we

636
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 6: go a different direction. The Royals go stuff over command

637
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 6: guys and have just always struggled to develop guys in

638
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 6: the command department. The Marlins they continue and that was

639
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 6: a big you know, denbo Jeter thing was, you know,

640
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 6: athletes on the baseball field. I don't hate the idea,

641
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 6: but if you struggle organizationally to develop your hitters and

642
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 6: you'll it really ends up boiling down to access to

643
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 6: information and a lot of other organizations provide their players

644
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 6: with more information, more investment into development. A lot of

645
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 6: other organizations have a lot more money spent into the

646
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 6: development side of things, and I think these Marlins hitters

647
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 6: are on their own a little bit compared to some

648
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 6: of the other organizations. And when you're drafting guys that

649
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 6: are very raw, that have a ton of skill and

650
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 6: talent that they're on their own to try to tap

651
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 6: into they're not going to tap into it as consistently,

652
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 6: I think. I think it's been a bit unfortunate without

653
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 6: every single guy is not panned out. For the Marlins,

654
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 6: you'd think they'd walk into one, and I think that's

655
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 6: a little bit of there's bad luck combined with it,

656
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 6: but they haven't put themselves in a position for good luck.

657
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 6: And you know, I think even you look get some

658
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 6: of these teams, they've been lucky with the way some

659
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 6: of these players have turned into superstars that maybe we

660
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 6: didn't expect. But joining Grossen's is exactly what they needed

661
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 6: to target. Right bat to ball, you can't really mess

662
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 6: him up. He has all of the basics down. He's safe.

663
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 6: But at the same time they need upside bats, so

664
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 6: it's it's a tough juggle here. I think it's a

665
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 6: combination of the scouting and then the development as well,

666
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 6: and I'm very interested to see how they adjust their philosophy.

667
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 6: It seemed like they went that route with Jacob Barry,

668
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 6: but that's a whole different other discussion. But they did

669
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 6: go with the safe one of the safest bats they

670
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 6: could have went with Jacob Barry, and I think that

671
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 6: was them acknowledging a weakness.

672
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 4: So you're in your opinion, you know, the lack of

673
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 4: production from all these homegrown guys that they've gone in

674
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 4: this under this regime, it's not so much a development

675
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 4: problem as much of a lack of you know, hands

676
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 4: on development.

677
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: Or is it also just.

678
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 4: Bad evaluating and just saying, Okay, we're bringing the wrong guys.

679
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 6: I think it's both. You know, I look at all

680
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 6: of these these systems and I look at Baltimore. They

681
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 6: play unto their strength. They draft these same types of guys.

682
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 6: They draft hit tool over power, but projection. So you know,

683
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 6: Colton kaws Aer one of my favorite prospects in baseball.

684
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 6: He's six', three some of the best contact rates in college,

685
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 6: baseball and they're, like, okay he's going to develop into

686
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 6: more power and that's something that's naturally going to. Happen

687
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 6: but we have a guy that we know has the

688
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 6: bats of ball. Scales then they go With Connor, Norby

689
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 6: then they go with somebody Like Jordan. Westburg all of

690
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 6: their top prospects Besides Gunnar, henderson WHO i thought was

691
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 6: even still advanced for a high school, bat those were

692
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 6: all guys that had a present hit, tool and you

693
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 6: figured you could dream on the power. Potential you look

694
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 6: at what The marlins are. Targeting it's super, athletic big,

695
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 6: Power but you got to be able to develop these,

696
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 6: guys and it's weird to target those kind of guys

697
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 6: when that's a weak spot for. You AND i think

698
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 6: they finally acknowledge that that's a weak spot for, them

699
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 6: AND i think they're going to have to kind of

700
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 6: identify either overhaul what their entire organizational philosophy. Is AND

701
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 6: i think we're going to see. Them this is JUST

702
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 6: i have no reason to believe this isn't a, report

703
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 6: BUT i think with what we've already seen with Den bo,

704
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 6: Out jeter, out and now Kim ang taking, over kim

705
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 6: ag has been a part of some organizations that develop

706
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 6: talent as well as, anybody AND i think now she

707
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 6: might have an opportunity here to clean house development wise

708
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 6: and implement a similar system to what she maybe experienced

709
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 6: with The dodgers with The yankees and go from, there

710
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 6: because if there's one organization or two organizations that develop

711
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 6: hitters as well as, anybody it's The dodgers and The,

712
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 6: yankees and they help guys make. Adjustments look At Jason

713
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 6: mingez this year looks like a different. Hitter you could

714
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 6: say the same thing about a lot Of dodgers. PROSPECTS

715
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 6: i think it's being able to help hitters figure out

716
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 6: what's going wrong and get them to the next. Step

717
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 6: AND i think a lot of that is hands, on

718
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 6: and The marlins are missing that all.

719
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: Right SO i have two final questions when it comes

720
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: to these young. Guys the first one was what do

721
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: you think is the issue WITH Jj. Blaedey he's been called.

722
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: Up he was pretty mediocre In TRIPLE a and he

723
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: earned the call up at a good time When miami

724
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: was still in. It they thought he could provide some

725
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: pop in the bat With Ajo solaire Out avy was,

726
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: playing but he was not playing to his. Best and,

727
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: uh just your thoughts on WHY jj blade has been

728
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: the way he has beenen just, mediocre high walk, rate

729
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: high strikeout. Rate but the guys. Pop he he has

730
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: some pop in the bat and very and lacks the

731
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: bat to. Ball he just is not hit for average that.

732
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: Much he reminds me before his. Hilaria i've said this many.

733
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: Times they have very similar.

734
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 2: Sets Disrespect JES hilari like.

735
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 6: That, so and you, know the thing With boudet IS

736
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 6: i think he's acknowledged, that, Hey i'm not gonna be.

737
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 6: This and, again this is another player WHERE i think

738
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 6: a lot of these adjustments have had to be on

739
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 6: the fly and on his own and, uh but he's

740
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 6: been a guy that's, Acknowledged, Hey i'm not the three

741
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 6: hundred hitter THAT i was At. Vanderbilt, Right i'm not

742
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 6: the plus hit tool guy that a lot of people

743
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 6: THOUGHT i was coming out of the. Draft and when

744
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 6: you realize, that you, know you're gonna have some of

745
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 6: that in zone with or you, know which is the

746
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 6: converse of zone, contact which you can get on you,

747
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 6: know fan grafts Or baseball. Savon if guy has seventy

748
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 6: percent zone, contact he's got a thirty percent end zone with,

749
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 6: right SO Jj bodey whiffs a lot in the. Zone

750
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 6: there's a way to be successful like, that and it's

751
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 6: being extremely, selective which you've talked. About he walks a,

752
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 6: lot he does that and pounding mistakes and that's a. Mistake. Kitterer,

753
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 6: Right he's gonna crush, Fastballs he's going to crush, hangers

754
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 6: and you can ride that to success and be a

755
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 6: solid big league. Hitter everyone likes to draw To Joey,

756
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 6: gallow but he's got better bats of ball skills than,

757
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 6: that AND i think he's a little bit he is

758
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 6: similar in that. PROFILE i think that's what he's trying

759
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 6: to lean. Into but the problem, is if you're a

760
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 6: mistake hitterer and you're fouling off the, mistakes you're. Doomed

761
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 6: and right now he is fouling off the, mistakes doing

762
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 6: a great job of not. Chasing his chase rates are extreme,

763
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 6: low and he's shown flashes of like, bam there's that

764
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 6: pull side power punishing the. Mistakes but how many times

765
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 6: have you seen that center cut, fastball that hanging breaking

766
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 6: ball that he fouls back to the. Screen AND i,

767
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 6: Mean i've talked to some big league hitters and maybe

768
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 6: one of the most one of the things that have

769
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 6: echoed in my head more than ever is it's not

770
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 6: the you, know pitch on the black with two strikes

771
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 6: that strikes you. Out it's the one to one breaking

772
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 6: ball that was hung or the fastball down the middle

773
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 6: that you fouled back that is the reason why you struck.

774
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 6: Out AND i think that's exactly what we're seeing With.

775
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 6: PUDET i Don't i'm not willing to say he's totally,

776
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 6: done AND i think there's still reason to believe that

777
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 6: he can be that mistake, hitter low batting, average high

778
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 6: on base, percentage who plays good defense in a, corner not,

779
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 6: center in a corner out towards.

780
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 3: Centerfield good day on the, run he came down the,

781
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 3: Wall shoarver.

782
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 6: Scores here comes muskets boom on his way to. Third

783
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 6: he will get.

784
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 3: There a two run, triple capitalizing on the mistakes of The,

785
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 3: fish and The phillies take the.

786
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 6: Lead the ship is sailed on the top five. Pick you,

787
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 6: know sixty hits to a sixty power. Guy but there

788
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 6: could very well be a big leaguer. HERE i think

789
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 6: it's good that he's going through these growing pains at

790
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 6: the big league. Level but, again this is a guy

791
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 6: that could definitely benefit from some overhauling in their hitting

792
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 6: philosophy from top to bottom of this. Organization but he's

793
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 6: very naturally. Gifted he has a great. Eye is that

794
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 6: bats can be very fun to watch with the way

795
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 6: he's able to command. Them just fouls off too many

796
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 6: good pitches to. Hit that's one little tweak that can

797
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 6: be the. Difference and that's.

798
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 2: What it seems to be a factory for every one

799
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 2: Of miami's young. Hitters you, know they're always.

800
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 4: MISSING i Think haysuysandraws is one of the ones where

801
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 4: it was so many examples at least once a, game.

802
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 4: Man or there was those meat balls out even though

803
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 4: that's pitch That bladet struck out on.

804
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: That crazy one in million play where it went on the. Catchers, yeah,

805
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 2: hellman you caught. It that was a middle ind. Slider

806
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 2: you got to put in, play pallid right.

807
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 6: Back that's what drove me nuts With Jesus sanchez because you,

808
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 6: KNOW i was going into the year AND i looked

809
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 6: at his swing AND i was, like that's that's not gonna.

810
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 6: Play there's too many parts to time that all up

811
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 6: is going to be. Impossible right when he times, up

812
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 6: it's gonna look really. Nice but when you have all

813
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 6: of those moving parts that length to the, swing everything's

814
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 6: got to be in sync. Perfectly and he would foul

815
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 6: off a bunch of pitches, that like you, said we're center,

816
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 6: cut and everybody would be, like, oh look at him,

817
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 6: Battle look at a. Battle i'm like this is not a.

818
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 6: Battle he's battling himself right, now but this Isn't that's another,

819
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 6: hitter extremely. Talented if he moves on to another, ORGANIZATION

820
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 6: i can guarantee you that at least he's gonna show

821
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 6: some adjustments and social flashes of better bats of ball.

822
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 6: Skills but what really frustrated me is we didn't really

823
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 6: see any adjustments there. Was it was the Same Jesus

824
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 6: sanchez every single. TIME i don't know if that's him

825
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 6: or The. MARLINES i think it's a combination of. Both

826
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 6: especially you know from what we've heard from some reports

827
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 6: about his timing to the ballpark and things like. THAT

828
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 6: i think that would kind of go in and tandem

829
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 6: with a guy that's maybe not as willing to make

830
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 6: any drastic adjustments and. Changes but you got to be

831
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 6: willing to do. That and that's another guy that extremely.

832
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 6: Talented but The marlins are not the right organization to

833
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 6: help him get. THERE i want to.

834
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: Ask you one last thing about the. Day what would

835
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: be his ceiling on The Miami marlins Versus.

836
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 6: COGLIN i think he's more of, that you, know, again

837
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 6: like low batting average. Thing he's going to be a

838
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 6: two twenty two to thirty. Hitter BUT i think if

839
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 6: it works, out he's a three fifty three to sixty

840
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 6: on base. Guy he can hit you twenty five to

841
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 6: thirty home runs and play solid defense in the. CORNER

842
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 6: i think it's becoming less likely that that's an, outcome

843
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 6: BUT i still think that that's a ceiling that you

844
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 6: can dream. On, here and he's twenty four missed the

845
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 6: twenty twenty. Season there's been flashes of. BRILLIANCE i think

846
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 6: he makes good swing. Decisions there's a lot of things to,

847
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 6: like AND i think there's a chance that he can

848
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 6: reach that. Ceiling it's becoming and less probable as we see,

849
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 6: this But i'm going to give him one more year

850
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 6: where he goes to the offseason and able to work

851
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 6: on things and see how he comes. Back BUT i

852
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 6: don't think it's impossible that he's a high end base,

853
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 6: guy solid power that can play you above average defense

854
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 6: in a.

855
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 2: Corner you, know for the for the fourth overall.

856
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 4: Selection it's just it's hard to hear that you know

857
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 4: the ceiling like, That and SO i want to ask

858
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 4: you just draft. History since under this new, regime DJ's

859
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 4: feel LIKE i believe came on in twenty. Nineteen i'm

860
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 4: not one hundred percent. Sure you, know you start With Connor,

861
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 4: scott you go over To, bludey you go over To Max,

862
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 4: meyer you go over To. Khalil this year Is Jacob.

863
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 4: Barry how would you grade the last five for a

864
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 4: round picks as a whole, MAN i it's a fair.

865
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 4: Question how WOULD i grade?

866
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 6: Those so? GO i Mean, MEYER i liked that pick

867
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 6: a lot because that was and again play into your.

868
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 6: Strengths marlins have done a great job with pitching through the,

869
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 6: years and that's WHY i didn't hate what they did

870
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 6: in this, draft which, was, yes they took the, bat

871
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 6: but then they went heavy with pitchers because, okay let's

872
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 6: acknowledge we're better at that and let's compile assets. Here

873
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 6: BUT i mean it's been A c minus the, best,

874
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 6: RIGHT i, mean the tough part is they've made the

875
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 6: picks that you think they should. MAKE i do remember

876
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 6: being a bit surprised When Mike hill told us that

877
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 6: they were celebrating When Andrew vaughn was. Taken, yes that

878
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 6: blew my mind BECAUSE i Thought Andrew vaughn was was

879
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 6: the better. Bat but you, know, again at the same,

880
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 6: Time it wasn't LIKE i was, like, oh you, KNOW Jj,

881
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 6: BLUDE i don't. Know he was phenomenal on The cape

882
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 6: and then even, better you, know in that junior season For,

883
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 6: vanderbilt but he also hitting the best lineup in college,

884
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 6: baseball had not as much of a track record of,

885
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 6: power and you'll Get. Vaughn he was the best hitter

886
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 6: in college baseball for some. Time, so you, KNOW i

887
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 6: thought that was a bit surprising that that kind of

888
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 6: reaction to show that that we're that much higher on

889
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 6: On budet Than. Vaughn you, Know Khalil. WATSON i would

890
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 6: have been pissed if they didn't pick him. There so

891
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 6: again it's it's a hindsight. Thing watson has shown some

892
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 6: good signs down down the stretch here since the return

893
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 6: from his leave of absence or disciplinary, break whatever you

894
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 6: want to call, it has looked much like much more

895
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 6: like The watson we could. Expect AND i think there's

896
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 6: still a lot of reasonab believe he could be the

897
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 6: star that he can be as he continues to mature

898
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 6: both on and off the. Field BUT i think overall

899
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 6: it's a c, minus you, know to Take meyer over

900
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 6: somebody like A lacey is a massive win because we

901
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 6: were all Expecting Ace, lace, right we all thought that

902
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 6: was gonna be the, pick AND i was shocked that

903
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 6: it wasn't the. Pick and thank goodness it wasn't the.

904
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 6: Pick so you, know they've done good. Things but, overall you,

905
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 6: KNOW i would have liked to have seen Brooks will

906
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 6: you be the? PICK i know you feel the same, Way,

907
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 6: Isaac but you, know let's give This Jacob barry kid

908
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 6: a chance here and see what he. Does BUT i,

909
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 6: mean Brooks, Ley brooksley looks like the better pick.

910
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 2: There believe. IT i couldn't believe.

911
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 6: It, YEAH i THINK i think they could have been

912
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 6: better with their. SELECTIONS i hated The Connor scott pick

913
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,280
Speaker 6: at the, time BUT i also hated The Trevor rodgers

914
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 6: pick at the, Time so you, know it goes every

915
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 6: every way. Here but you, KNOW i think they've obviously

916
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 6: left a bit to be desired given where they've, selected

917
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 6: especially over the last couple of. Years Jacob barry at,

918
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 6: Six meyer at, three you know you'd expect to hit

919
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 6: on a top three. Pick jjoblde at. Four you know

920
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 6: you'd expect them to hit on those. Selections BUT i

921
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 6: Think Connor scott at thirteen is one of the more

922
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 6: glaring poor draft picks over the last few. Years and

923
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 6: go look at that twenty eighteen, class by the, way

924
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 6: go look at guys before and after, him and it'll

925
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 6: just make you. ANAXIOUS i, mean they took maybe the one.

926
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 6: Guy IF i did a redraft, there Which i'm going

927
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 6: to start doing in the offseason on, podcast the call

928
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 6: Up Connor scott's not taken in the top sixty. PICKS

929
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 6: i don't think. So and there was a lot of

930
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 6: concerning things About Connor scott's game, then and all those

931
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 6: fears have kind of come.

932
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 2: True, YEAH i couldn't.

933
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 4: Believe there's so many names in that twenty eighteen draft

934
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 4: that they didn't sell LIKE i could believe they didn't

935
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 4: get cast.

936
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 2: Us literally he was right there in your, neighborhood in your, backyard.

937
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 4: Yep and a lot of, mistakes in my, opinion they,

938
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 4: ALSO i feel like it shows that the inexperience and

939
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 4: at least the twenty nineteen, draft Because Riley green was

940
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 4: like a slam, dunk you, Know Riley. Green And i'm

941
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 4: not just saying that because he made it to the

942
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 4: big league this year and he's like he's doing all,

943
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 4: right but you, know he's a center fielder who was.

944
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 4: Fascinating he has the best hit tool of anyone in that,

945
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 4: draft maybe Besides andrew Vaugh and they just sort of

946
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 4: wanted expedit the whole rebuilding. Project let's get the college

947
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 4: guy and so's it's tough to.

948
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 6: See how about he J? Abrams how about He jambrams as?

949
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 2: WELL i Know Joe arsara love c J.

950
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 6: ABRAMS i.

951
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 4: WASN'T i think it's what he is now is maybe

952
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 4: maybe a little bit. BETTER i don't think he could

953
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 4: be so much like a superstar Like Riley green can.

954
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 4: Be but of course MAYBE i can be wrong ON.

955
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 2: CJ i think he was also someone that they could

956
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 2: have selected instead of to.

957
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 4: Day but you, know speaking of all these young, guys

958
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 4: let's move on to maybe some of the awards for this.

959
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 4: YEAR i think one of THEM i want to get

960
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 4: your take. On it's not as much of a runaway

961
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 4: as it was a month. Ago The National league Scit Young.

962
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 4: AWARD i think he still is a, favorite maybe minus

963
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:50,240
Speaker 4: one fifteen something like. That but if it's Not, sandy

964
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 4: maybe it started yesterday helped him out a little. Bit

965
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 4: but if it's Not sandy All contra who is his biggest.

966
00:42:55,040 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 6: Threat, man it's crazy that it might not be. That you,

967
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,919
Speaker 6: know he's not the runaway, here because it just really

968
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 6: seemed like he would be that that. Runaway really from the,

969
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 6: JUMP i wouldn't have even really considered anybody. Else AND

970
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 6: i still, think you, Know sandy is done enough in the,

971
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 6: season especially with the innings that he's put up. Here

972
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 6: but you look at the rest of the, league especially

973
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 6: in The National, LEAGUE i guess, what who's the odds

974
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 6: on favorite next? UP i, mean you look at that's

975
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 6: So Julio arias for, me is out of the. EQUATION

976
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 6: i know you want to look at the surface level,

977
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 6: stats and of course what you actually do is at

978
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 6: the end of the, day very. Important BUT i Think

979
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 6: julio Urius is has been a benefactor of a lot

980
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 6: of different things so far this. YEAR i know the

981
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 6: era looks, strong BUT i Think Max freed is the biggest,

982
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 6: threat not only because of what he has done for

983
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 6: one Of baseball's best, teams but he has really asserted

984
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 6: himself As baseball's best left at this. Point AND i

985
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 6: mean to compile WHAT i think by the time the

986
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 6: season's over will be about one hundred and eighty five.

987
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 6: Innings and, Know sandy has been you, know set in

988
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 6: the pace there two hundred and three and two, thirds

989
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 6: but you, Know freed has been just as good when

990
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 6: he is when he is on the, bump and he

991
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 6: has been on the bump as much as anybody not Named.

992
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 6: SANDY i think that's the biggest. Threat but, ultimately the

993
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 6: gap in innings here is just too. Much the strikeouts

994
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 6: are pretty comparable and everything. ELSE i really Think sandy deserves,

995
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 6: this AND i hope voters really consider how dreadful the

996
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 6: defense has been behind you, Know, sandy compared to it

997
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 6: to What Max freed has Got, Defensively sandy has weathered

998
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 6: the storm through some rough, situations and to, me when

999
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 6: you're throwing by the time this season's, over what two

1000
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 6: hundred and, fifteen two hundred twenty, innings maybe he's just

1001
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 6: an absolute workhorse and that's got to. Matter but, YEAH

1002
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 6: i Think Max freed's the biggest. Threat And i'm surprised

1003
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 6: That Carlos rodin is not getting more consideration in this

1004
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 6: whole thing, too because he's gonna be at one hundred and,

1005
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 6: seventy one hundred and seventy five, innings maybe one hundred

1006
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 6: and eighty by the time the season's. Over and he's

1007
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 6: been one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball since

1008
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 6: the second half and over the course of the season as.

1009
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 6: Well if you look at four he's tied for. FIRST i,

1010
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 6: mean he has just been. Outrageous, yeah and you make

1011
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 6: a good.

1012
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 2: Point you compare the defense behind.

1013
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 4: Him sandy's had a deal with not only a putrid,

1014
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 4: offense But Hayesus, Sanchez brian de La cruz AND Jj

1015
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 4: blade and center field behind. Him so it hasn't been

1016
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 4: easy last Of National league ause you, know we sort

1017
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 4: of know who THE nlmvp will Be rookie of The year.

1018
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 2: For The National. League Michael HARRIS a, second that's what

1019
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 2: that would be my big just a light me.

1020
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 6: Too it's it's wild because you look at What Spencer

1021
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 6: strider has done on the mound this, year AND i

1022
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 6: really thought he was the, runaway, RIGHT i, mean you're

1023
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 6: you're talking about a kid that for a pitcher to

1024
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 6: just come up and dominate the way he has a

1025
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 6: sixteen strikeout. Outing but at the flip, side you got

1026
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,479
Speaker 6: a kid And Michael harris just playing every single, day

1027
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 6: who's playing some of the best defensive center. Field you're

1028
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 6: going to see who is hitting for. POWER i think

1029
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 6: if the season ended, Today i'm giving it To strider

1030
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 6: just because of the dominance on the mound and where

1031
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 6: he ranks amongst you, know some of baseball's best. Pitchers

1032
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 6: but we've got another few weeks to go, here And

1033
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 6: Michael harris continues to compile and compile and. Compile if

1034
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 6: he exceeds that five f wour, threshold if he continues

1035
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 6: to hit the way he is, Hitting i'm gonna Say

1036
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 6: harris might steal it away from. Him AND i know

1037
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 6: voters like a guy that's in the lineup every single

1038
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 6: day for an award like, this and with with the

1039
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 6: elite defense base stealing the power has been, there back to,

1040
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 6: ball everything across the, BOARD i Think harris is gonna

1041
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 6: steal it away in the final couple of weeks.

1042
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 2: Here, yeah haveing any, disagreements.

1043
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: Agreements Michael harris is my, pick Though i'll say that

1044
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 1: do they they announced these after the world two years?

1045
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 2: Correct?

1046
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: Yeah what do you what do you take playoffs into

1047
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: account for a guy Like harris And strider or you're not.

1048
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 6: Supposed to you're not supposed. To, yeah BUT i don't.

1049
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 6: KNOW i always wonder how much people really are able

1050
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 6: to separate that.

1051
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:06,240
Speaker 2: Mentally it's definitely subconsciously. There you, know it's a crazy world.

1052
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 2: Series you're, gonna you're, gonna it's gonna be in your, math.

1053
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 6: Right, No, Yeah i'm.

1054
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:11,479

1055
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 6: Harris, yeah we can move on to The ale really.

1056
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 2: Quick rookie of The year Sim, Yeah.

1057
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 6: American week's tough because you look at what you've been

1058
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 6: able to get From Justin, verlander AND i know he has,

1059
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 6: not you, know been on the field as much as

1060
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 6: we like to see from you, know a cy young,

1061
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 6: contender but we've also seen a lesser importance in that,

1062
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 6: regard and looking at just The American week as a,

1063
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 6: WHOLE i think you still got to give it To.

1064
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 6: VERLANDER i hope he gets one or two more starts

1065
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 6: here to just kind of push it across the finish.

1066
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 6: Line but when you've got a sub to e r

1067
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 6: a uh in one hundred and fifty two, innings it's

1068
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 6: not like he hasn't thrown much like he's gonna finish

1069
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 6: right around Where Corbin burns was when he won, it

1070
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 6: AND i think with better overall. NUMBERS i Love verlander

1071
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 6: for this. AWARD i think what he has done coming

1072
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 6: off Of Tommy john, surgery The American. League you look

1073
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:08,240
Speaker 6: at other, OPTIONS i don't really know if anyone is quite.

1074
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 6: There in that same, conversation you could look at a

1075
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 6: Show Hey, otani which is, crazy or A dylan ce

1076
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 6: who really started to solidify his case as. Well Dylan

1077
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 6: cease is a sneaky option, there but you, know he's

1078
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 6: also walked a lot of. Guys the whip is a bit,

1079
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 6: higher but the e ra is two. Six, yeah and

1080
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 6: he's gonna probably have a few more innings Than. Verlander

1081
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 6: If verlander doesn't pitch again and he puts up two

1082
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 6: more dominant, OUTINGS i could see. It BUT i Think

1083
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 6: verlander still is the guy that deserves the award this.

1084
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 6: Year just been, consistent dominant and what a year from

1085

1092
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,719

1093
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 6: gets up early, enough maybe we see, him you, know

1094
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 6: in this conversation a bit. More but What Julio rodriguez

1095
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 6: has done over the course of this entire season as

1096
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 6: the leader offensively and defensively for when a baseball's hottest

1097
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 6: teams in the second, half you, KNOW i think a

1098
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 6: dark horse threat to make a run in the. Playoffs

1099
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 6: he's been there since the, jump came off of an

1100
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 6: injury that kept him out for a couple of, weeks

1101
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 6: continued to match you, know the defense in, center speed

1102
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 6: on the base, pats the offense that he's given. Them

1103
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 6: Julio rodriguez has got to be the guy that gets.

1104
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 6: It BUT i think if you Gave adlie the thirty

1105
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 6: games That julio has, GOTTEN i would be very Pro

1106
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 6: adli because he's doing it with elite defense behind the,

1107
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 6: dish a switch hitter who is hitting for, power hitting for,

1108
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 6: average walking a ton and not striking. Out If adalie

1109
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 6: had a little bit more, TIME i think he catches.

1110
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,720
Speaker 6: Him you'll GET f four and he's already almost Catching Julio.

1111
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 6: Rodriguez but you got to give it to the guy

1112
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 6: who's endured the entire, season And Julio rodriguez has done just.

1113
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 6: That that's my, pick and it would be cool to

1114
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 6: see how close he can get to thirty. Thirty oh

1115
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 6: obviously probably finished just, short but the fact that he's

1116
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 6: been a historic rookie has to factor into that as.

1117
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 4: WELL i think if he does, WIN i think one

1118

1188
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 6: me AND i think he's got a good chance to get.

1189
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 6: There and his cards are not that expensive On eBay.

1190
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:42,360

1191
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 4: him to get called? Up my boss and they're just

1192
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 4: being super? Safe was it that he was hurt at one?

1193
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 6: Point, YEAH i think it was the. Injuries you, know

1194
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 6: he just over the last couple of, years just every

1195
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 6: time it seemed like the momentum was, going got hurt

1196
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 6: and then would have to get back started a bit,

1197
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 6: slow had to get comfortable. Again AND i think if

1198
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 6: he wasn't, injured we would have saw him. Sooner BUT

1199
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 6: i think that was a big part of. It, ULTIMATELY

1200
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 6: i would have liked to have seen him. Sooner we

Speaker 6: to pitch to in a lineup full of players that

1210
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:30,759

00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 6: some incredible adjustments AND i actually had a chance to

1230
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 6: talk to him about this and he was basically saying

1231
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 6: that it was a big approach adjustment for, him but

1232
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 6: also just making some tweaks to you, know his lower

1233
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 6: half being able to stay. Back and he's one of

1234
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 6: the more athletic hitters are going to, see and he

1235
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,840
Speaker 6: is really an interesting. Swing he almost looks like like

1236
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 6: a hockey player with the way he's able to swing the.

1237
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 6: Bat but he found what works for him and he

1238
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 6: also has a really good approach that he sticks. To

1239
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 6: and this kid is really. SPECIAL i know the numbers

1240
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 6: overall Have i've not been quite where he'd probably want

1241
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,439
Speaker 6: them to. Be but he's also been catching a ton

1242
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 6: and adjusting, there but thirty plus home run, power a

1243
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 6: really talented. HITTER i don't know if they're going to

1244
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 6: move him off a catcher or, not but, men this

1245
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 6: guy is, really, really really good and has turned things

1246
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,720
Speaker 6: around and it's been fun to watch him. Play, also

1247
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 6: a really good dude and easy got to root. FOR

1248
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 6: i think he's gonna be a big time threat with

1249
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 6: the bat for the foreseeable future as. Well and The

1250
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 6: rollers are building something nice over. There if you can

1251
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 6: combine The royals and The, marlins you'd have one of

1252
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 6: the best teams in. BASEBALL i think he's gonna be

1253
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 6: an all star catcher and absolutely.

1254
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:27,319
Speaker 1: ABSOLUTELY i want to ask you about another CATCHER i

1255
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: forgot his name. Though he's a tough guy for The

1256
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: mets Catcher.

1257
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 2: Oh my god is? Yeah what's up with?

1258
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,439
Speaker 6: Him and you see? Him how soon do you see

1259
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 6: him on The?

1260
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: Mets Because james mckims geting almost under two Hundred Tomas

1261
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 1: nito isn't anything. Crazy this guy would have been amazing

1262
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: to have on The mets right, now especially he's already.

1263
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: Pitched he's already Caught sures and the girl when their rehab.

1264
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 1: Starts i'm pretty, sure at least sure or he. Did

1265
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 1: so why haven't they called this guy up? Yet he

1266
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 1: got both.

1267
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 6: Of, them which must have been a very, awesome you,

1268
00:56:56,200 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 6: know experience For. Alvarez and the injury definitely disrupted. Things

1269
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 6: he missed some time WITH i believe it was a

1270
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 6: thumb something hand related, injury maybe risked and something in that,

1271
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 6: region but that kind of stifled things for. Him the

1272
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 6: one THING i will, say and he's a wonder can?

1273
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 6: It twenty years, old already mashing In TRIPLE. A he's

1274
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 6: taken a bit of a step back consistency wise, there

1275
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 6: but swing and MISS i think was holding him. Back

1276
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 6: talk about a mistake. Hitter he is a mistake, hitter

1277
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,919
Speaker 6: and he did not miss a single mistake at any

1278
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 6: point through the minor leagues this, season and that's why

1279
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 6: he's been able to ride that to a really impressive slash.

1280
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 6: ONE i think he's going to be one of the

1281
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 6: best catchers in baseball very. SOON i think he could

1282
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 6: break camp with The mets next, year but they probably

1283
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 6: were looking at a lot of the advanced metrics as

1284
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 6: specifically the in zone with fastballs were giving him trouble this,

1285
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 6: year and if your top offensive prospects having trouble with elevated,

1286
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 6: heaters bringing him to the big leagues is probably not

1287
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 6: the best thing to. Do where that is you're you're

1288
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 6: going to see more elevated heaters than, anywhere and they're

1289
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 6: going to attack that scouting. Report SO i think they

1290
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 6: were more focused on the long term with. HIM i

1291
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 6: want to work through some of those small issues that he,

1292
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 6: has but it's a testament to how talented he, is

1293
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 6: RIGHT i, mean this is a guy that is whipping

1294
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 6: at fastballs in the zone at about a thirty two percent,

1295
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 6: clip which is pretty, dreadful and still putting up some

1296
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 6: of the best numbers you've, seen you, know across the

1297
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 6: entire minor. Leagues if he can fix that a little,

1298
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 6: bit WHICH i think they have him focus on right,

1299
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 6: now he will be A rookie of The year favorite

1300
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 6: next year AND i think could break camp as the

1301
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 6: starting catcher for The mets next. Season.

1302
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 1: Yep and before we wrap it, UP i don't know

1303
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: how we haven't spoken about this. Guy Uri perez is

1304
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: going to make his double a return On. Saturday how

1305
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 1: soon does this guy get to the big? Leagues you

1306
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: see him as a marlin in twenty.

1307
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 4: Twenty before you answer, that, actually who's Better Andrew paynter

1308
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 4: Or Uri?

1309
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 2: Perez and then go ahead with the. Question there we.

1310
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 6: GO i feel like there's a reason why you're asking me, That,

1311
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 6: isaac all, RIGHT i THOUGHT i was gonna do. It

1312
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 6: so we're dropping the top one hundred list. In it's

1313
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 6: probably going to, drop and then two days maybe Till.

1314
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 6: Monday it's really dependent on how much COFFEE i can

1315
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 6: drink and how LATE i can stay. Up Because i'm

1316
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 6: finishing up these rite, Ups i'll start on the positives

1317
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 6: Of Yurie. Perez Euri perez is an absolute. Freak you

1318
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 6: guys know. That i've had the pleasure of watching him

1319
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 6: in person on a few different, occasions and one of

1320
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 6: the things that impresses me the most about him is

1321
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 6: how polished he is both as a pitcher physically and.

1322
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 6: Mentally he gives up a bomb and next pitch wipes

1323
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 6: it next. PITCH i was talking To zach mccamblely about this,

1324
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 6: actually because mccamberly is really big into the mental side of,

1325
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 6: things and he was calling him a young, prodigy and

1326
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 6: but he, said the most impressive thing about him is

1327
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 6: how how he does, that how he's able to turn

1328
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 6: the page and go right. Back he faced A Biloxi shuckers,

1329
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 6: lineup which is The brewers double, affiliate which was, loaded

1330
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 6: and they ambushed the crap out of him and blocks

1331
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,479
Speaker 6: he is a. Bandbox the ball flies out to left

1332
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 6: and they pummeled him for a couple of home. Runs

1333
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 6: he refocused and turned out to have a really good.

1334
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 6: Outing my concern quote, unquote because it's not a concern

1335
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 6: he's going to be just fine is fastball is. Elite

1336
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 6: secondaries are, good but he doesn't quite have that plus

1337
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 6: out pitch. Yet and you're seeing, hitters you, know geared

1338
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 6: up for the. Fastball that's the one pitch that they

1339
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 6: know can beat, them but the secondary stuff is just

1340
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 6: just lagging a little bit. Behind Andrew paynter might be

1341
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 6: the nastiest pitching Prospect i've seen him, sometime especially below

1342
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 6: the age of twenty years. Old Another South florida kid

1343
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 6: in their own Backyard Calvary christian and oh my, goodness

1344
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 6: Is Andrew. Paynter a. Freak i'll tell You Uri perez

1345
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 6: is going to be a top fifteen to top ten. Prospect

1346
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 6: Andrew paynter may happen to be a little bit higher than,

1347
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 6: that and that we would be the highest on him

1348
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 6: in the entire. Industry so, again not an indictment On Uri.

1349
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 6: Perez I'm i'm really looking at him to, improve you,

1350
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 6: know the command of the secondaries and just the quality

1351
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 6: a little bit and then he can reach that frontline

1352
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 6: ceiling at the big league. Level but here's the thing,

1353
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 6: is the fastball is so, good his overall command is

1354
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 6: so good that he can get to the big leagues

1355
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 6: next year and still be a really effective starter that,

1356
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 6: way and just continue to work with Hopefully, mel please

1357
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 6: Give mel the max. Contract work With mel to you,

1358
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 6: know up the quality of that breaking, ball find a

1359
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 6: little bit more. CONFIDENCE i think the change up is

1360
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 6: already good enough working off of that. Fastball that's the

1361
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,919
Speaker 6: one little missing. Piece Andrew paynter has dynamite command as

1362
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 6: a guy that's just as, tall just as, young and

1363
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 6: two plus breaking. Balls SO i, mean you're talking about

1364
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 6: two of the best under twenty year old pitching prospects

1365
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 6: in baseball and they're going to terrorize each other's teams

1366
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 6: for a long time in THE Nl.

1367

01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 6: i think The marlins feel confident that he can, be

1381
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 6: AND i feel confident that he CAN i, think you,

1382
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 6: know whill look more like a number three in the

1383
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 6: first or a number four type of guy in the,

1384
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 6: beginning and THEN i think we're going to continue to

1385
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 6: see him level, up level, up level, up and and

1386
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 6: and turn into that. Ace but assuming that he's that

1387
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 6: untouchable Like craig Mission Barry jackson have, Reported, uh who

1388
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 6: are you moving from that rotation then or or prospect

1389
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 6: wise or.

1390
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 4: WHATEVER i Think craig mentioned, this do you take you,

1391
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 4: know you Trade, meyer you're a little bit selling.

1392
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 2: Low but is he someone you. Trade you could have

1393
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 2: liked to Trade, mcanley.

1394
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 6: But he's just really struggled this.

1395
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 4: Year if you Trade Tripp, rogers if he continues this

1396
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 4: over the rest of the, season they have a lot of.

1397
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 2: Options they have three.

1398
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 6: Lefties this keeps me up at. Night i'm not kidding,

1399
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 6: this this, legit this specific scenario keeps me up to

1400
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 6: night because The marlin system is not what it. Was

1401
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 6: this is their one ace in their back pocket to

1402
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 6: fix all of their. Issues maybe they have. Two they

1403
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 6: could maybe trade another, on but if you miss on this,

1404
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 6: return you're you're pretty much. Screwed and also you want

1405
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 6: to make sure you trade the right, picture, Right and

1406
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 6: that's that's the concern as. Well who are you Moving?

1407
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 6: Broxton but then who? ELSE i don't get to.

1408
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 2: Get i'm not getting.

1409
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 6: You who would you?

1410
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:37,439
Speaker 1: SAY i Love, pablo but, man it's just the odd

1411
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 1: man out at this.

1412
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 6: POINT i, think, YEAH i think he's like sort of

1413
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 6: like a.

1414
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 4: GIVEN i think he's got to be Dealt this off,

1415
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 4: season especially with how you, know how bad these hitters have,

1416
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 4: been so you got to get with someone for.

1417
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 6: Him AND i do like that you Mentioned.

1418
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 1: Brax i'm, Sorry, isaac because they literally just optioned the

1419
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: guy today THAT i think they called him the automan

1420
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: out and this rotat and what they could have been

1421
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 1: a six man. Rotation so, yeah maybe Trading braxton is

1422
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: the point and they would be, selling they'd be selling.

1423
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 2: High he's had an amazing season for THE. FIST i

1424
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 2: think they can.

1425
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 4: CREATE i think they can Trade, broxton AND i think

1426
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 4: they should Trade Edward Cabrera.

1427
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 6: Edwards so that was gonna be my. THING i hate

1428
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 6: to say, it AND i know we talked about this

1429
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 6: on The Just Baseball show, actually AND i said Trade

1430
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 6: edward as, well because you're looking at as you look

1431
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 6: At edward And, WIZARDO i think they're cut from the

1432
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 6: same cloth in a good. Way, disgusting ridiculous, stuff health,

1433
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 6: concerns AND i don't want to have two guys with

1434
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 6: that similar type of. Profile And i'll take the, left

1435
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 6: especially with the uncertainty Around. ROGERS i feel very good

1436
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 6: About rogers moving, forward but with the uncertainty Around, rogers

1437
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 6: if you're Trading Braxton garrett as. Well, UH i think

1438
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 6: that's that's the guy you might move Is Edward, cabrera

1439
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 6: and he seems like the perfect candidate of someone that

1440
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 6: you know is still a little bit, uncertain but still

1441
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 6: a big league, ready a big league arm that's proven

1442
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 6: to be able to get out to the big league,

1443
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 6: level and there's gonna be teams that want, him whether

1444
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 6: they're a present contender or building for the. Future that's

1445
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 6: the problem is you look At. Pablo how many teams

1446
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 6: are going to be willing to give up big league

1447
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 6: pieces For pablo because you're gonna be taking one step

1448
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 6: forward and a step. Back it's got to be the

1449
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 6: perfect trade. Partner that's gonna be. TOUGH i almost think

1450
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 6: The marlins could end up packaging At Dax, fulton who's

1451
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 6: a phenomenal by the, way and let's say let's Say

1452
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 6: brax And garrett Or edward or whatever for maybe a

1453
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 6: big league pece from a rebuilding, team and then they

1454
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 6: Trade pablo to replenish the farm. System like that's SOMETHING

1455
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 6: i could end up seeing like two separate. Deals but

1456
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 6: they've got to get creative and they better not mess

1457
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,760
Speaker 6: this up because this is pretty much their last chance

1458
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 6: to save this.

1459
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 1: Thing, yeah AND i think that's something That craig was

1460
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 1: mentioning that really nobody wants to sign In miami unless

1461
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 1: you give them a pretty big overpit and you would

1462
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 1: have to trade And, miami which which is.

1463
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,800
Speaker 6: Outrageous it's absolutely Out you don't want to, sign you

1464
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 6: don't want to play In. Miami what you make more

1465
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 6: money you save on taxis you live In. Miami and

1466
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 6: the stadium's. Great, everybody every Player i've spoken to loves the.

1467
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 6: Stadium there's there's no compoints here at location, whatever but

1468
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 6: like it should be the easiest selling, point like it

1469
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 6: is for the, heat like it it used to be

1470
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 6: tough for The. Dolphins they've turned that around now. Too

1471
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 6: but at the end of the, day you know what

1472
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 6: talks is money and that's obviously not gonna not gonna

1473
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 6: be an option for.

1474
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 4: Them, so you know, WHAT i don't blame players phenomen

1475
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 4: it just the uncertainty of how long you're gonna be

1476
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 4: here and that. Ballpark i'm telling, you it's a beautiful,

1477
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 4: ballpark state of the, art but it's closed seventy nine

1478
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:35,920

1499
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 1: The marlins are in it again at some point next

1500
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 1: season and we're talking about the mazing moves in mad

1501
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 1: or how bad this offseason went from them once, again

1502
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 1: and we'll look back to these predictions that we made

1503
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: in terms of which pitching which.

1504
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 6: Pitcher, yeah we'll.

1505
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 1: Get traded because that is definitely a very interesting point

1506
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 1: to talk about in the off season Where miami could

1507
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: deal from the supplus that they, have especially with the

1508
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 1: amount they drafted this season and twenty, two which is

1509
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 1: something you mentioned AND i think that is something that

1510
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 1: we really didn't haven't mentioned. Enough the amount of Pitching

1511
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 1: miami took in that draft kind of says that they're

1512
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: willing to. TRADE i guess upwar to your, prospects BECAUSE

1513
01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,320
