We 6 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: got a lot to cover today. The World Baseball Classic 7 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: is underway as the first couple of games have already 8 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: begun overnight. Australia and Chinese Taipei have played, and Korea 9 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: has played the Czech Republic. Lots of games going up 10 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: until March seventeenth, when the championship game is scheduled to 11 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: happen at Lone Depot Park. We'll also discuss some Marlins, 12 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: but I think we'd be remissed not to start with 13 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: the longtime Color analyst Tommy Hutt, announcing that the twenty 14 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: twenty sixth season will be his final season in the booth. 15 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: We'll start with aj. You debuted in twenty twelve when 16 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: he was obviously stillilar. This was the middle of his 17 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: Marlin's career almost and you guys did overlap for quite 18 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: a bit. Just what is it? What did he mean 19 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: to this organization in this city, because hey, he had 20 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: been there since nineteen ninety seven. 21 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, he had a lot of passion, man or he 22 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: has he still has a lot of passion. He was 23 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 2: one of the guys that was calling my debut, and 24 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: I believe after I struck out the side, I was 25 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 2: walking off the mound, and I remember when I watched 26 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 2: it back, he was saying he said something like, and 27 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: that's why you stay for the full nine innings. You 28 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: might miss something special like this, you know. So I 29 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 2: remember him calling that. One of the plays that even 30 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: he brought up was when Stanton hosed who was at 31 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: Cozart at the plate, and that caused you know, I 32 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: think if if Tommy was allowed to say what he 33 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: wanted to say, it would have been even more entertaining. Uh, 34 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: but he had to keep it on the rails. And 35 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: I think what helped too was it was such a 36 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: long replay, like it took it took five minutes or 37 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: so to get the ruling on of the call, and 38 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: and then I just remember seeing redmand go out there 39 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: and and uh he was, uh, you know, giving all 40 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: he could give it, but it wasn't those umpire's faults. 41 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: So it's kind of like a weird way to argue 42 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: because it's it's New York telling them what the what 43 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: the rule was. 44 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 3: Uh. 45 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: But but Tommy man, uh, he's he loved the game. 46 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: He's very knowledgeable. 47 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: Uh. 48 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: He's an iconic voice for the Marlins. I think whenever 49 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: he was away from the organization, when he came back, 50 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 2: everybody was so happy to see him because you know, 51 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: he he he called it like it was. You know, 52 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 2: he called he calls it like it is. So uh, 53 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: it was a great career. I'm happy that I was 54 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: able to uh be one of the guys that he 55 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 2: was calling the games four end. Now get to work 56 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: with him for a couple of years. So uh, he 57 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 2: he was. He is an awesome person. 58 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: You mentioned it had been here for a very long 59 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: time since ninety seven, and in his time with the Marlins, 60 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: he has under he has seen three ownership changes, three 61 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: logo changes, a stadium change, in over three fire sales 62 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: just during his Marlin's time. Kevin, you're you've seen him most, 63 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: I believe with pauls Avena, I think that's where you've 64 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: seen him. My childhood was all Rich and Tommy yours 65 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: was Paul and Tommy just how fun was it listening 66 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: to this? I'll still say, young man, be honest on 67 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: the boot in the booth at all times. 68 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 69 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 4: I think Rich Walt when he when he FaceTime, Tommy 70 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 4: said it, Bessie, he was the best ambassador for this 71 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 4: in Miami for the Marlins fans, and he called it 72 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 4: how it was. And I think that's what you always 73 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 4: appreciated about someone like Tommy. He said how it was, 74 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 4: even looking back at last year with I think it 75 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 4: was one clip that Eli posted on Fish on first 76 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 4: with August Steine where he shouldn't have framed it or 77 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 4: something like that, and it went viral and Tommy called 78 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 4: it how it was. What are you doing behind the 79 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 4: flight man? So uh yeah, No, he's awesome. We had 80 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 4: him on fish and filter at some point I was 81 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 4: trying to look back and find it but I couldn't. 82 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 4: But no, he's awesome, wishing nothing but the best, you know, 83 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 4: after the season and yeah, awesome guy. Great to be 84 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 4: around and very knowledgeable and looking forward to this one 85 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 4: last year with Tommy catch. 86 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: The ball first frame it later there was a couple 87 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: other ones and the play that AJ was referring to 88 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: we actually have a clip of it that was fourteen, 89 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: where that rule change where catchers could could no longer 90 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: block the plate. Zach Cozart was rounding third on a 91 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: basic and stand on courked a perfect throw to Jeff Mathis, 92 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: who's probably his toe was covering the plate. Cozart, instead 93 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: of sliding, stood up, ran through the base and threw 94 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: his arms up in disgust, trying to play the rule 95 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: rather than the game out should be played. And Tommy, 96 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 1: rightfully so, was very upset. One two coming soft flag 97 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: ball stand ends it up, runner tags and comes home 98 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: stand start of the money and time has the night 99 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: with the tag Bryan Price, Wren's managers out, here's the call. 100 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: He's safe. 101 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's gotta change from. 102 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: This day on and mark down the date July thirty one, 103 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 2: twenty fourteen. 104 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 3: Mike Reddin right now riffs his shirt off, throws his hat. 105 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 3: I feel like doing the same thing. 106 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: A major league catcher himself. 107 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 3: Get your money's worth, brand, get your money's worth. 108 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: And the best part about this, before we move on 109 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: to some WBC stuff, is that if you look at 110 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: the umpire's expression, he's saying, I agree, it's Bolton. Yeah, 111 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: yet I'm with you. I agree. That was just one 112 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: of the strangest times in Major League Baseball. I don't 113 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: know if you remember anything else from that game, ha postgame, 114 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: or just what the vibes were inside of clubs because 115 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: they lost that game. You guys lost that game. 116 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was one of those things where 117 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 2: it's like that was It was BS for sure, and 118 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 2: but it was the rule change, it was how they 119 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: It was just a tough loss for us, especially Red. 120 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 2: You know, we liked that he got out there and 121 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: got after the umpires even though it wasn't their their fault, 122 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 2: and I imagine it was hard to argue that as well, 123 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 2: when when the umpire is saying I agree with you, 124 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: you're just like, well, I gotta yell now, I gotta 125 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: tell you something. And this is where I wish that, 126 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: like there was a there was an unedited or unfiltered, 127 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: uncensored type of feed, so like Tommy could have said 128 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 2: exactly what he wanted to say, because I bet that 129 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: rant would have been, you know, another viral moment. I mean, 130 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: because he can get after it. 131 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of wish that he held a post 132 00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: game for US Conference Anyway, we are here on Thursday, 133 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: March fifth. Like I said, Kevin Barrall is on site 134 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: at Lone Depot Park covering the workouts for the World 135 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: Baseball Classic. Kevin, what does it look like that we 136 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: talked about it? I forget with who last episode that 137 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: this is the twenty twenty three World Baseball Classic. We're 138 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: sort of the coming out party for this tournament and 139 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: it's just getting bigger and bigger every year. Is that 140 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: the sense you're getting over there? 141 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent. It's a lot of people. And 142 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 4: this is with Nicaragua and Israel here. The Dominican Republic 143 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 4: has not arrived. Venezuela is about to arrive in about 144 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 4: thirty minutes, so that is when the craziness will begin. 145 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 5: I'm sure. 146 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 4: But I mean we're in probably the best pool possible, right, 147 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 4: I mean you have the Dominican Republic Venezuela, who are 148 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 4: the best two teams in this pool, followed by a 149 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 4: sneaky Netherlands team who always puts up a fight regardless 150 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 4: of what tournament you're in. 151 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 5: Israel always seems to be a tough team to play. 152 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 4: They beat the Marlins one zero, and on top of that, 153 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 4: you Garagua, who is managed by Dusty Baker, so you 154 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 4: can never you know, count them out in that case. 155 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 5: And yeah, no, a lot of excitement here. 156 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 4: I just literally took that photo maybe twenty minutes ago. 157 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 4: But it's a lot more media on the field now, 158 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 4: and yeah, I'm excited. I'll be here for amost all 159 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 4: the games, and I think hopefully we get some good 160 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 4: players coming in here. I really can't say there are 161 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 4: any bad players if I'm being honest with you. I mean, 162 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 4: you have the Team USA potentially coming Japan. Italy I 163 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 4: think is a really sneaky team in the tournament. But yeah, 164 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 4: a lot of Marlins. I think what everyone roots for 165 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 4: is every Marlin to come out healthy out of this 166 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 4: tournament first and foremost. But yeah, no, a lot of 167 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 4: excitement here, and we'll be here at fishal On first 168 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 4: covering it all from start to finish. 169 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: I'll ask you each the same question. I'll start with Kevin. 170 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: You mentioned Team Italy as a potential sneaky team, of 171 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: what is one team that you think has an outside 172 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: outside chance of sneaking out of pool play and coming 173 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: to Miami. 174 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 3: Me hm hmm. 175 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 5: That's a good question. 176 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 4: Italy is in a really tough position because they're with 177 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 4: they think Team USA and Mexico at Mexico Brazil exactly. 178 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 4: So it's a very tough pool. That's probably the toughest 179 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 4: pool to get out of to begin with. So I 180 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 4: think they I think they're in a tough spot. Team 181 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 4: Canada is also in a really tough spot as well, 182 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 4: but they have a really good squad and I think 183 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 4: just the quality and fortune with what went down with 184 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 4: Team Puerto Rico with the insurance situation kind of made 185 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 4: it a little bit easier for them to sneak out. 186 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 4: Maybe them in Colombia, but Puerto Rico slo good team. 187 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 4: But I'm gonna go with with Italy. I think that's 188 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 4: a good team that Aaron Nolan the now and you 189 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 4: have a lot of major league starters there. You have, 190 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 4: you know, Jacob Marcy, Caglion, Paspentino. I mean, that's a 191 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 4: really good team. That's it's almost all major leaguers, something 192 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 4: we weren't seeing last year. And they're managed by Francisco Savelli, 193 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 4: so that that'll be an interesting team that I'm looking 194 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 4: forward to. I think they have a really good shot 195 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 4: to to move on. It would be them in the 196 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 4: United States, but Mexico to not move on after that 197 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 4: type of turn that they had in twenty three, it 198 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 4: would be one of the bigger upsets we've seen in 199 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 4: a while. 200 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Ormer, Marlin, Francisco Survelli and I agree, pool A, 201 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: I think it's completely up for grabs. I don't see 202 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: seam that can run away with it. AJ, what is 203 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: one team that's not the top the big four? Uh 204 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: that you that you're circling. 205 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I would have gone with Mexico, but 206 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 2: like obviously, you know that's that's a tough pool to 207 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 2: be in. Uh, Puerto Rico is up there. But I 208 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: just think that the the those top four teams man, 209 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 2: you know, the United States, Uh, Dominican, Japan, I just 210 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 2: feel like there's so much better that it's gonna be 211 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 2: hard to beat those guys, you know what I mean, 212 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 2: I think it's tough. I mean, you're just watching the 213 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 2: energy of the Dominican team the other day when they 214 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: were hitting hit five home runs and one any or 215 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 2: whatever it was. Did that energy they bring that lineup 216 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 2: is nasty, man. So I just feel like the teams 217 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 2: that are favored to win are so much better than 218 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 2: the other teams that it's almost like going to be 219 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 2: non competitive when you play those teams. But it is baseball, right. 220 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 2: All it takes is one random guy, like the guy 221 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 2: that struck out shohe Otani last year. I forgot what 222 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 2: team he was playing on, but he was. His fastball 223 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 2: was like eighty five miles an hour and you struck 224 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 2: out the first He struck out the first five guys 225 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 2: or something like that. 226 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 5: You know, it was the Czech Republic. 227 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 2: Czech Republic, that's who it was. And he said he 228 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 2: wanted to jump up and down out there and like 229 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 2: have fun, but he was like, it's a baseball game. 230 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 2: So I just smiled to the dugout, you know. So 231 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 2: like moments like that is what I look for with 232 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 2: guys that are coming out from their regular jobs to 233 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 2: make these teams of some of these rosters, you know, 234 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: and just go out there and play a ball game. 235 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 2: You never know, like again, eighty miles an hour or 236 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 2: so far under the hitting speed that you might catch 237 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 2: some guys out of order, you know, like maybe like 238 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 2: again in BP, man like people make outs all the time. 239 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: Hitters makeouts all the time, and it's batting practice. So 240 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 2: you never know what's going to happen in a baseball game. 241 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 2: But I just feel like that the talent is too 242 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: is too high with the big teams that uh, it 243 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 2: kind of really doesn't matter because those teams are going 244 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 2: to be playing each other. 245 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree that it is baseball. Anything can happen. 246 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: I have some family, some out extended family that's from Nicodagua, 247 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: and I said, hey, they're in a tough pool. But 248 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: I do think anything can happen. We've seen crazy or something. 249 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 5: Dominican Republic didn't make it out of the pool play 250 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 5: last time. So yeah, true in mind, So I. 251 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 2: Think I saw Jeremy Pina may have fractured his finger. 252 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 5: He's out for the first round. 253 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 2: He's out for the round, so you know, injury, something 254 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 2: could happen. You know, you never know what happens in baseball. 255 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 3: This podcast is presented by Jetski Rensels of South Florida, 256 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 3: offering Miami's best jet ski and boat adventures with jet 257 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 3: ski locations, six jet ski locations, over one hundred and 258 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 3: twenty boats or something for every style and every budget ride. 259 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,119 Speaker 3: Jet Ski is ride in front of the Downtown Skyline 260 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 3: in ferris wheel or book your own private boat starting 261 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 3: as low as three hundred bucks with a captain included 262 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 3: in that bring your drinks, your friends, enjoy the water, 263 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 3: your way.

Just to be clear here on who 273 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: are the favorites. According to the hard Rock be United 274 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: States is the favorite at even money, Dominican Republic's second favorite, Japan. 275 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: After that, Venezuela is the fourth fourth most favorite team 276 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: to win, Mexico is number five, and the other side 277 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: of the aisle you have Nicaragua and Brazil sharing the 278 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: honor of being the least likely team to win the tournament. Unfortunately, 279 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: but I agree it should be a very exciting tournament 280 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: the whole way through. Kevin and I will be bringing 281 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: you coverage as much as we can, while also trying 282 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: to provide some Marlin's coverage as well. We mentioned Mexico 283 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: AG there was an opportunity that you might have played 284 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: with Team Mexico during your Marlin's career, if you can 285 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: maybe shed some light on that. 286 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a couple of times actually they asked me 287 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 2: to play. Both times I was injured. I was coming 288 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 2: back from an injury I was, you know, it was 289 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: early in my career as well. So the main thing 290 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 2: was my arm wasn't feeling well when the first time 291 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 2: they asked me, and I knew that I had to 292 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: spend off season trying to get back to where I 293 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: wanted to be I did. I knew that there was 294 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 2: a tearor and I didn't know it was as bad 295 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 2: as it was till we got worked on that. I 296 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 2: probably should have had surgery of years ago. So that 297 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 2: was the main thing with me. But it's such a 298 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 2: cool tournament, man. Especially what gets me excited is seeing 299 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 2: those fans come out in Miami right and hearing how 300 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: loud that stadium can be. So you're getting to look 301 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 2: into the future on when this team shapes up to 302 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 2: what the plans are, and when they're competing. You're getting 303 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 2: a look at what Marlin Stadium could be. Right with 304 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 2: all the way the fans come out to support, it's 305 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: it's such a fun time. And it's honestly when those 306 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 2: when fans are out there in that in that stadium, 307 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 2: it's it's comparable to all the other you know, two 308 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium, to all these other stadiums as far as 309 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: energy wise, right, So it's it's really cool. But yeah, 310 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 2: I really wish that I had I could have played 311 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 2: in the w b C. Who knows, Man, maybe I'll 312 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 2: rehab my arm and play on the next one. It's 313 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 2: never too late. I mean again, you see some guys 314 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: up there that they just need a rosterld and maybe 315 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: I can just you know, come in there and help 316 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 2: help out one year. But it seems like a great 317 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 2: tournament to play in, man. It just and I think 318 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 2: it's good for the players that do play in it 319 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 2: that come out healthy because it gives you that sense 320 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 2: of like ultra competitiveness and trying to win a ball 321 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 2: game early. So maybe it carries over into the beginning 322 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: of the season so that you just go out there 323 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 2: with a different mindset. 324 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, And one thing that perfectly segues into The next 325 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: topic is reigning back to the backs. That Young Award 326 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: winner will just briefly touch on this. Tarrek Schoogle. He 327 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: is set to pitch fourteen USA against Great Britain and 328 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: that'll be it. He'll go back to Detroit or back 329 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: to his team and focus on the regular season. He 330 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: has received a significant amount of backlash on social media. 331 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure Age you're following it as well. Kevin, what 332 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: are your personal thoughts? He wouldn't be able to face 333 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: one of the better teams in that pool. They have 334 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: schemes against Mexico so that he has lined up for 335 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: the quarter or semi finals, and I think it's a semis. 336 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: But what do you think about the people saying that 337 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: Terrek shouldn't even be on the team may He's only 338 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: going to give them one start. 339 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 4: It's weird, right because he is like, he is the 340 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 4: best pitcher on that team and it is. It does 341 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 4: suck that you have to use him in the pool 342 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 4: play around. I wish they could have maybe put him 343 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 4: on that reserve list and kind of use him for 344 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 4: if they moved on to the quarterfinals. Because they're gonna 345 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 4: move on. That seems too good not to move on. 346 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 4: I mean a lot of things would have to happen 347 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 4: for that team not to move on, and I think 348 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 4: they you could have done that right and it would 349 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 4: have lined him up maybe for a potential you know, 350 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 4: outing in the finals. But yeah, tough that he has 351 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 4: to pitch against Great Britain. He'll face Jazz. So that's 352 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 4: I guess the only cool part about it. And Ian 353 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 4: Lewis and Lewis but yeah, I know, but yeah, man, yeah, 354 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 4: I don't know how to feel about it. It's just like, cool, 355 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 4: you'll pitch Paul Skins makes two starts, so yeah, you know. 356 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 4: I My one like thing is like, why wasn't this 357 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 4: conversation the last time? Like why didn't this come up 358 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 4: last time? We saw a lot of superstars playing the tournament. 359 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 4: I know it's a lot more this year, but this 360 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 4: wasn't a conversation that we were having last year. There 361 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 4: was no insurance talk, there's no talk about starters. And 362 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 4: I know the WBC does a good job of limiting 363 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 4: pictures and where how many innings it could throw or 364 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 4: how many pitches they could throw, but I just I 365 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 4: still don't understand why this conversation is happening. 366 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 5: This year rather than three years ago. 367 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely here. I agree my first I think 368 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: that he's getting a little bit of unfair hate. This 369 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: is his free agent year and he's set to become 370 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: the highest pight pitcher of all time. Now the argument 371 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: on the other side is, hey, show hate did it 372 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: in his free agent year, and he both pitched and 373 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: hit the entire ration of the tournament. AJA, you have 374 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: any quick thoughts on this subject. 375 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 2: H yeah, I think I'm online with you as far 376 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 2: as yeah, it's his free agent year, I think as 377 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 2: as the organization probably has kind of some strict some 378 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 2: restrictions on him as well. You think about your trying 379 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 2: to go out there and win a championship or try 380 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 2: to go make a deep run as an organization, that 381 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 2: this team depends on this guy, Like if he goes down, 382 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 2: everything changes their leverage for him of what they can 383 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 2: or you know, all all the stuff just changes. You 384 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 2: may have to sell whatever, you know what I mean. Like, 385 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 2: it's if he gets hurt, it's bad. So I understand 386 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 2: why they would throw him in a I guess what 387 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 2: would be a less pressure situation would be in the 388 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: first game, you know what I mean? So, like it's 389 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 2: it's not a high leverage situation like maybe let's say 390 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 2: they saved him for one of the semi finals or whatever, 391 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 2: then he's in a situation where it's amplified, so higher 392 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 2: chances of getting hurt. This guy's an ultra competitor, so 393 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 2: he's gonna give it his all, and so like maybe 394 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: he tweaks something and then it just you don't want 395 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 2: to do that. As far as for the organization now, 396 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 2: as a fan of baseball, of course, man, I want 397 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 2: to see this guy throw twice as well. I want 398 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 2: to see him throw. I want to see it somehow 399 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 2: to work out the championship game that he starts and 400 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 2: schooble and and uh schemes comes in or vice versa. 401 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 2: You know what I mean. I want those two guys 402 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 2: throwing back to back. Like as a fan baseball fan, 403 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 2: that's what I want. But there's real world things, there's restrictions, 404 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 2: there's all kinds of things that go to it. That 405 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 2: this is why this game is a business. I think 406 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 2: all these restrictions came because of all the injuries in 407 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 2: the past, So they're just trying to protect their assets. Yeah, 408 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 2: and that that's that's what it is really, but as 409 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 2: a fan, for sure, I'd want to see him pitch 410 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 2: more than twice or more than once. 411 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't agree more. And remember, at the end 412 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: of the day, it's important as this tournament is it is. 413 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: There are exhibition games, you know, they don't get nothing 414 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: for it. 415 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: I know, and I get it. I get it, man, 416 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: But like at the same time, like you get hurt 417 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 2: for it and your your your season that you actually 418 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 2: that actually matters, is you know, put on hold or 419 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 2: you're compromising some way. So yeah, I get all angles. Honestly, 420 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 2: everyone everyone's entitled to and and rightfully so to that 421 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 2: to their opinions. 422 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, and we don't know. It could be the Tigers, 423 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: like you said, it could be Scott Boris just protecting 424 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: his client, his asset, and either it could be all 425 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: of them. 426 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 5: Want This isn't just it isn't just school. 427 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 4: I mean we we were talking yesterday to Clayton McCullough 428 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 4: who said that they don't know Santy's gonna if the 429 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 4: dr moves on. They don't know Sandy's gonna pitch again 430 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 4: in the classic, right, So I don't think about that. 431 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 2: So, like we're all here, we're all with the Marlins. 432 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 2: We cannot have him hurt, right, there's no way think 433 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 2: about what like that's that's a huge asset if you 434 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 2: whether you keep him or you're trying to get a 435 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 2: haul for him. If he's compromising any way, what what's 436 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 2: the organization gonna do that? That's the big bullet you have, right, 437 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 2: And so so as Marlins fans, you understand a little 438 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 2: bit more like, hey, we can't have our guy heard here, 439 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 2: you know, so like that that gives you a little 440 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 2: bit more context. 441 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I believe Euripros was also a potential for 442 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: the DR and. 443 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 4: I know it was never it was never reached out, 444 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 4: well reached, that's what they said. 445 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: But I did ask someone on the Marl and they 446 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: said they just all agreed to not even pursue that 447 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: because the matter fact, when they're not even when there's 448 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: as valuable as an asset as he is, who he 449 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: is and how much money he's currently making, you don't 450 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: even touch that with a ten foot poll. Yeah that's 451 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: if I'm the owner or president, but luckily I don't. 452 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: I don't envy anyone's job with us to approve these things. 453 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: But with that said, we can't talk about which Marlins 454 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: are gonna be representing their countries in the World Baseball Classic. 455 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: We'll do it really quick before we touch on some 456 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: spring training. As you guys see on the screen here, 457 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: the Dominican Republic will feature the twenty twenty two So 458 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: Young Award winner Sanuel Cantra along with Augustine Ramirez. Hopefully 459 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: they'll be able to throw to each other in their 460 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: game against Venezuela, which is on the eleventh. I would 461 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: like to say, and then representing Team Canada, you've got 462 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: a trio of Marlin's. Liam Hicks will be a catcher, 463 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: Onto Lopez play some short already in these exhibition games. 464 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: And you have Owen Casey for Team Cuba. You have 465 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: Yedi Cape for Team Italy. You've got Jacob Marci and 466 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: Mexico has Jared Serna Kevin, which ones aside from Sandy 467 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: and Gus? Right, I think, which maybe prospect or guy 468 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: that hasn't debuted. Are you looking at to say, hey, 469 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: let's see what he can do against some real competition. 470 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 4: Yet he's gonna play a lot with Team Cuba. That 471 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 4: team is really bad. Guys, like that team is a joke, 472 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 4: and obviously it's unfortunate because of the situation over there. 473 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 4: But Yedi decided to go there, and not a lot 474 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 4: of people like that decision. I know there's people that 475 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 4: don't appreciate that decision within the organization, but he decided 476 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 4: to go. He's gonna play second base. He will probably 477 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 4: had towards the bottom of that lineup, but he's gonna play. 478 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 4: I don't think Jared Turner will play a lot, if 479 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 4: I have to be honest with you, so very stack 480 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 4: team in Mexico, but he didn't play some right field, 481 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 4: and you actually look pretty good in the exhibition games. 482 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 4: But I think of the prospects, I think Yeadi will 483 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 4: play the moups on that Cube team. I don't see 484 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 4: Ian Lewis playing all too much. Maybe in that Team 485 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 4: US in that USA game, if they're getting blown out, 486 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 4: that's when he'll come in. 487 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 5: But yes, Yeedi will play the most of the prospects. 488 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 5: Jake Marcy, I'm excited to see what he does. 489 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 4: I know we're talking prospects, but Jacob Marsie's gonna lead 490 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 4: off and play center field for Italy like they really 491 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 4: like him over there. Francisco Cirelli is a big fan 492 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 4: of Jacob Marcy. He's gonna provide some pops with the 493 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 4: lineup as well, more than they already have with Cagliona 494 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 4: and Paspentino. But that's dude. I mean that Team Italy, 495 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 4: Team Ittaly is gonna be a sneaky team in this tournament. 496 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 4: They can make it all the way here to Miami potentially, 497 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 4: that's how. 498 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 5: Good they are. 499 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: And I apologize I did not mention Ian Lewis playing 500 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: for Great Britain. Noah, Javier Sonoha suiting him for a 501 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: Team Venezuela A j any one guy stick out to 502 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: you in particular, perhaps. 503 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 2: Uh ohen Casey. I feel like I want to see 504 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 2: what he's like in this high pressure situations competing against 505 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 2: some of these guys, you know, just just to give 506 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 2: you more insight, uh, what it's like with a little 507 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 2: bit more pressure. I know he's had a little bit 508 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 2: of time in the big leagues, but when you're playing 509 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 2: in a tournament like this where it's almost like a 510 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 2: playoff atmosphere, Uh, you get a good insight into what 511 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 2: what type of player that that he is? You know, 512 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 2: it just gives you a little bit more insights. So 513 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 2: I love watching these uh, these type of high pressure 514 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 2: situations because you get a good gauge on how they 515 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 2: can perform under it. And also too, whether you do 516 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 2: good or bad, you get some information on yourself on 517 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 2: how to how to adjust or recreate or whatever it is. 518 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 2: In those situations that you find your you find more 519 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 2: success in the season and when there's it's a big 520 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 2: game moment. So looking at Owen Casey definitely, uh, just 521 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 2: just get a little more insight. Cause again I didn't 522 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 2: watch him very much when he's with the Cubs, so 523 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 2: I I want to get a good gauge of of 524 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 2: what type of player he is, So I think this 525 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 2: is a good way to do it. 526 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, Owen had gotten off to a little bit of 527 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: a rough start in his Marlin spring debut. I believe 528 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: it was zerover ten with a few strikeouts, not a 529 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: lot of walks, But like we all know, it is 530 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: spring training. Kyle Stowers had one of the worst spring 531 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 1: trainings I'd ever seen as a baseball fan, and he 532 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: came out and earned his first career All Star selection. 533 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: So hopefully, like Kevin said earlier, everyone leaves the tournament 534 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: healthy as they were when they joined it, and I 535 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: believe everyone will just be crossing their fingers, especially with 536 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: the pitchers, because I think that's where the most risk 537 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: is without a doubt. With that, we can go into 538 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: Marlin spring training notes very quickly. I think that I 539 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: mentioned Casey some outliers as well. On the hitting side. 540 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: I think Camp Balderman has had a pretty good spring. 541 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: Davis and Delo Santos is another one who has had 542 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: a very nice spring. Some guys have had not so 543 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: good springs, like the aforementioned Owen Casey X has gone 544 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: off to a little bit of a slow start. Kevin, 545 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: what are the what have been the main takeaways that 546 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: you've seen coming out of Roger Deane Chevrolet. 547 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 5: You're gonna laugh. 548 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 4: But this guy, Jack Ralston has been pretty good. And 549 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 4: they always get this one minor league signing who all 550 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 4: of a sudden looks really good. 551 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 5: That was Jansen Junk last year. That was a Ronnie 552 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 5: Henriquez who they claimed off waivers. 553 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 4: Jack Walston may not make the opening day roster, but 554 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 4: at some point they're gonna call him up and he's 555 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 4: gonna be pretty good. He has seven strikeouts in about 556 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 4: four in x pitched uh he's only walked one. 557 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 5: He has a zero r A. 558 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 4: He's looked good. That's one that stood out to me. 559 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 4: You noted Davison. I think it needs to very much 560 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 4: be noted. This is the only true first basement on 561 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 4: the Marlins forty nin roster. Christopher Morel and Gryffin Conen 562 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 4: are fake first basements. 563 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 5: They're not. 564 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 4: This is an experiment that they're trying to do and 565 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 4: it's looked good so far. To their credit, it's looked fine. 566 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 4: Hasn't been great, but Dave, if this experiment backfires, they're 567 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 4: gonna call it Davison at some point. And I think 568 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 4: is that that's been really good. They've been competitive. AB's 569 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 4: he hasn't struck out. I think, uh, he hasn't worked 570 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 4: any walks either, but he's gotten on base. He's putting 571 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 4: the ball in play, which is what you want to see. 572 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 4: Now you got to see the power a little bit. 573 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 4: He he lost the power last. 574 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 5: Year, see it. 575 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 4: Because I think part of that is, all right, let's 576 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 4: get this approach back to where it is and let's 577 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 4: and then we'll then we'll worry about the power. And 578 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 4: I think that's what they're gonna do this this year 579 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 4: in tripa A. Outside of that, I mean it's been 580 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 4: it's been one of the more boring spring tradings so far. 581 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 4: But Tyler Phillips has looked really good. I think that's 582 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 4: another guy they mentioned, like the v low is up 583 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 4: for for Phillips, he's like averaging N ninety seven ninety eight, 584 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 4: which is which is crazy, but it's also great because 585 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 4: now that's a good setup man that you could have 586 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 4: in your bullpen depending on how the situation. So yeah, no, 587 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 4: so far good stuff from spring training. As Isaac mentioned, 588 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 4: no in case, he had gotten off to a pretty 589 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 4: bad start but didn't really like that. 590 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 5: Yeah that's from him. A lot of strikeouts, not many walks. 591 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 4: I think Connor Orby has looked good at third base 592 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 4: outside of one air so far. 593 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 5: Uh, you know, he's holding. 594 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 4: His own, but I think that on the big up 595 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 4: platoon situation between him and PAULI kind of like I 596 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 4: noted in my roster projection. Uh but yeah, no, so 597 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 4: far fine, nothing nothing that stands out to me really, 598 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 4: I mean, only stand out is Ralston, Who's you always 599 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 4: find those one guys who will come and go under 600 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 4: the you know you don't really talk about. 601 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 5: I think that's that guy. 602 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: A few guys mentioned in your roster projection. We've got 603 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: san all Contra going today. We're recording this on March fifth, 604 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: Like I said, March fifth, twenty twenty six, he is 605 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: pitching in Roger Deine against the Houston Astros. Uri Perez 606 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: will throw a few innings on the backfields. Robbie Snelling 607 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: is expected to follow Sandy or one of the two. 608 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: He is expected to throw a few innings as well. 609 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: Max Meyer has looked good. Braxton Garrett has also looked good, 610 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: and it looks like the rotation is pretty much said, 611 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: barring injuries knocked on wood with Sandy and Yuri at 612 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: the top, and then whichever way they want to go 613 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: with Max, Chris Paddock and Braxton Garrett, with guys like 614 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: Robbie Snelling, maybe a further bid down the way Carson 615 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: Milbrandt Ryan Gusto is available. You know, unfortunate news about 616 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: Tommy Thomas White's injury, just Aden, Where do you think 617 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: with health not let's see how I wear this, assuming 618 00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: everyone is healthy, where does this rotation, potential rotation, including 619 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: the prospects so have yet to debut, Where can this 620 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: stack up across Major League Baseball? 621 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 2: I think you know obviously Sandy and Uri are you know, 622 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 2: top of the line type starters. Especially if Sandy continues 623 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 2: to progress, because even though his last his last eight 624 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 2: starts or whatever it was at the end of last season, 625 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 2: we're getting better or back to Sandy, I think there's 626 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 2: still another level that he can go, especially I think 627 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 2: with the sweeper he's he just added. I think if 628 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 2: he if he locks that in and he's able to 629 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 2: get a hit, the feel for it, I think that's 630 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 2: gonna play and it's gonna just make his stuff even better. 631 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: Uh. 632 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 2: I think Chris Paddock, I think there's there's some stuff 633 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 2: that he's working on and that can maximize his fastball 634 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 2: or make it look better. Bax and Garrett has seemed 635 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 2: to be turning over as well, like getting the feel 636 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 2: of everything. Max Meyer, he's gonna have to figure out 637 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 2: how to help his fastball as well, because that that 638 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 2: pitch was getting hit a lot last year. It seems 639 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 2: like he's trying to get more vert I haven't been 640 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 2: able to look at the number, and it's been hard 641 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 2: to watch because of the lack of televised games that 642 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 2: they've had so far, So that's been tough. But I'm 643 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 2: looking forward to being out there from the fourteenth to 644 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 2: the eighteenth, so I can actually see with my own 645 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 2: eyes what's going on out there, which which will help 646 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 2: out a lot. But I feel like there will be 647 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 2: a team again that is not gonna be easy to 648 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 2: You're not gonna go in there thinking all right, man, 649 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 2: we're gonna you know, wax these pictures. 650 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: Right. 651 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be competitive, you know, like last year, 652 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 2: people were like going in like we got the Marlins, 653 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 2: let's go, let's go to live, let's go to all 654 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 2: these other places. They don't gotta worry about playing, It's 655 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 2: the Marlins. And then they got surprised. Right, the way 656 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 2: that the Marlins are putting together game plans and giving 657 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 2: information to each picture is only gonna make them better. 658 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 2: And with a year, another year under your belt with that, 659 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 2: you can maximize a little bit better. So I think 660 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 2: there's potential again if they're healthy, that they can make 661 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 2: a step forward from where they were last year, which 662 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 2: would then put together like a pretty a pretty solid rotation, 663 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 2: and a rotation that you're not going to go in 664 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 2: there thinking like it's gonna be easy, Like you're gonna 665 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 2: you're gonna have to maybe grind some at bats. So 666 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 2: that's the upside. How that shakes out, if that's attainable, 667 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 2: we'll see, you know. But but I'm always a guy 668 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 2: that's looking at the upside, uh knowing. And you got 669 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 2: to know where where the bottom is as well. And 670 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 2: it's gonna fall somewhere in between that, and I think 671 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 2: that's still going to give you a good rotation. 672 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Marlins have been applauded for how they have 673 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: developed pitching in their years. Uh. You mentioned Club Live? 674 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: What do you know about that place? I guess one thing. 675 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: We'll end it on here a little fun moment. What 676 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: are where did aj Rommels go out in Miami when 677 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: he was a star player? Here? 678 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 2: I think the better question is where didn't I go 679 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 2: out as a closer? 680 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: Right? 681 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 2: I throw in the ninth inning, and that's at nine 682 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 2: thirty at night and maybe sometimes later. And the amount 683 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 2: of adrenaline that you feel when you're out there is 684 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 2: just like I get chills thinking about it now because 685 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 2: it's such a like so much energy. So I close 686 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 2: out a game, whether I do good or bad whatever. 687 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 2: I normally didn't go to bed till three am every night, 688 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 2: whether I went out or not like I three am 689 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 2: was when I was going to bed. So after the game, 690 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 2: I'd go get something to eat. In Miami, you can 691 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 2: get some good food at eleven thirty midnight, still fine. 692 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 2: And then after that I was like thinking, maybe maybe 693 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 2: I should have a night cap somewhere. So maybe I 694 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 2: go to Live. Maybe I go to rock Wall, maybe 695 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 2: those rock Walls not even there anymore. Maybe I go 696 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 2: to to what's the no one they got what that meant? 697 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 2: Oh man, Mint was great. Mint was great. If it 698 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 2: was on Wednesdays, I go to Baoli, that was a 699 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 2: good night. Tuesday, I would go to Wall, which was 700 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 2: in the Yeah. I mean so I had my spots 701 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 2: where I went out. But one thing that I always 702 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 2: made sure is that nothing that I did the night 703 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 2: before was going to affect the next day. And I 704 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 2: always made sure that I was working hard. And I 705 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 2: think if you ask anybody in there, nobody would know 706 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 2: that by the way I worked that I was even 707 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 2: you know, going out or whatever. But for me, it 708 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 2: was part of the process. I had to get get 709 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 2: away from the baseball mind, and I think that's an 710 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 2: important part. It didn't have to be going out. It 711 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 2: could be going to your Buddy's Hotel room whatever, you 712 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 2: know what I mean, like just kicking it, just getting 713 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 2: away from the baseball mind. That was just the way 714 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 2: I did it sometimes. And if somebody was going through 715 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 2: a slump, I would take them out with me, get 716 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 2: your mind off it. The next day they show up 717 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 2: ready to play. So it's all a part of the process, man. 718 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,919 Speaker 2: But that those those times when some house music comes 719 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 2: on on my Spotify Every once in a while, I 720 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 2: literally time traveled back to Miami with my hands up 721 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,720 Speaker 2: while the confetti's coming down on me like that and I'm. 722 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: Covering my drink like this. 723 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, Mammy is a special place. 724 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: It most certainly is. My entire life has been spent here. 725 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: It's a shame that I was a little bit too 726 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: young during your time here. If sure, I would have 727 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: thought on those places, man, because you mentioned at least 728 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: half of my regular spots. Kevin will tell you it's 729 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: been it's been a lot. But with that, I think 730 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,240 Speaker 1: we can call it a show. AJ, Kevin, I appreciate 731 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: your time, especially Kevin being at Lonevo Park. I think 732 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: I'll meet you there in a little bit in order 733 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: to get my credential. AJ will probably be recording this 734 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: time next week if all goes well, and with that, 735 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: thank you guys for listening and as always, go fish.
