Speaker 5: guys that whenever I got the job for the Marlins

37
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 5: to call some games, I was like, all right, I've

38
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 5: been out of the sport for two and a half years,

39
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 5: I don't know much about it, and I'm calling games

40
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 5: for the Marlins. Need to you know, I need to

41
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 5: update on the roster. So I would listen to your

42
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 5: guys show to kind of get the down low on

43
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 5: what's going on with the team, to learn some of

44
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 5: the names and stuff. So it's a pretty cool moment

45
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 5: that you know, I was watching you guys and now

46
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 5: I'm along on the show with you guys.

47
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 4: So it's a it's a pretty cool moment.

48
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 6: The pleasures all are is And for those who don't know, AG,

49
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 6: you had a really successful playing career as well, and

50
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 6: now you are calling games or helping call games for

51
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 6: the Marlins radio, you'd be helping us a lot a

52
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 6: lot as well. Just how do you how would you

53
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 6: describe your post playing career as a whole For you

54
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 6: to get to this, to this chapter, it's just.

55
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 5: Like a lot of players who retire from the game.

56
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 5: It for me, it was tough, right. You go from

57
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 5: every day you're trying to optimize your performance, and whether

58
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 5: that be from eating to sleeping to working out. Even

59
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 5: the shows that I would watch, I wanted to make

60
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 5: sure that it was providing a good stimulation for me

61
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 5: to take out to the field or take out the practice,

62
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 5: so whatever it is, you know, I was trying to

63
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 5: balance everything to try to be the best baseball player.

64
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 5: So when you go from that to no longer having

65
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 5: a structure and no longer really having it, at times

66
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 5: it felt like a purpose. It was tough to deal with.

67
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 5: And then I slowly started to watch baseball again, start

68
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 5: to see it from a different lens, and so that's

69
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 5: helped me out a lot. And then now being able

70
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 5: to travel with the team and be in those environments.

71
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 5: And the coolest thing for me is I'm calling games,

72
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 5: which is amazing to give my perspective to fans from

73
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 5: basically a player's perspective. But the cool part about it

74
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 5: is I get to be in the locker room, so

75
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 5: if I see something from the booth, I can go

76
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 5: up to a player and say, hey, man, I'm kind

77
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 5: of seeing this and maybe help out some guys in

78
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 5: the process too. So it's a full circle moment, and

79
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 5: that for me being able to provide one insight to

80
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 5: the fans and two helping players, that's fulfilling the hole

81
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 5: that was left whenever I wasn't playing anymore. So for me,

82
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 5: it's actually sort of like a therapy as well. So

83
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 5: and then the other part of it challenging. Whenever I

84
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 5: was young, I had a huge stutter, and so to

85
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 5: be able for the only way that fans hear me

86
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 5: at times is through a radio, that would be mind blowing.

87
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 5: And so scary to me, So the challenge of that

88
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 5: and then also the challenges of trying to say stuff

89
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 5: in a concise way so that the fans can understand it.

90
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 5: So there's a lot of challenges and it's it's been fun.

91
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 4: Though.

92
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 6: You mentioned the post playing career, you had a little

93
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 6: two year gap before you started getting back into the game.

94
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 3: You can share with us, share with the fans.

95
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 6: What did the I know you're a family guy, what

96
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 6: did those two years really what did they bring to you?

97
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 5: Well, it helped me kind of get out of my

98
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 5: baseball mind a little bit, even though it comes in

99
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 5: waves still. And the other thing that helped me is

100
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 5: I've had two kids since then as well, so becoming

101
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 5: a dad that took the obviously the most of the

102
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 5: priority and raising you know, two baby girls has been

103
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 5: amazing and it's been helpful as well to really understand what.

104
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 4: Life is really about too.

105
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 5: I loved baseball and it was my first love and

106
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 5: it was amazing, but it doesn't compare to the love

107
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 5: you have for your child, right, So that thing helps

108
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 5: you know that that being a dad helps and also

109
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 5: gives me a little bit of space so that I

110
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 5: can break down the game a little bit better because

111
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 5: I'm not so absorbed in it. Right, When you're a player,

112
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 5: you're so emotional, you're so it's hard to describe things sometimes,

113
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 5: So being away from the game allows you to see

114
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 5: it differently. And for me, it makes a game easier,

115
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 5: right because I'm not in there playing, So it's a

116
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 5: lot easier from the from the booth. So being able

117
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 5: to give the perspective to fans is is is a

118
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 5: cool aspect of it all.

119
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's get into this off season for

120
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 1: the Martins because obviously a lot of our normal listeners

121
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: would know we've already spoken about this, but I think

122
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: it's a good time for anyone who's new or dive

123
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: into this podcast for the first time to kind of

124
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: talk about what the Marlins did.

125
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 6: It was.

126
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: It was a busy offseason. For those on YouTube. You

127
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: could see the current Marlins forty man roster. Everyone in

128
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: bold is the off season acquisition, so is there Garrett Acton,

129
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: Bradley Blaylock, Pete Fairbank, John King, Chris Paddock, Owen Casey,

130
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: Christopher Morell, Sterery Ruiz. Four of those were major league

131
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: free agent signings. Those were Fairbanks, King, Paddock and Morrell.

132
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: Christopher Morrell's playing first. Obviously, Fairbanks and King will will

133
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: holp out in the bullpen. Chris Pattick is gonna bee

134
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,559
Speaker 1: that fourth or fifth starter. Then Marlins treated Edward Burrow

135
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: away to the Chicago Cubs. That's where they got Owen Casey,

136
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: so he'll probably slaughtered in that right field. But AJ

137
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: just overall thoughts on the Marlins offseason, where do you

138
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: think the team stands? Obviously, you saw this team last year,

139
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: so I think the question is do you think this

140
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: team is better as currently constructed than what we saw

141
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five.

142
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 5: I think it has potential to be better, right. I

143
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 5: think you had a lot of young guys last year

144
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 5: who it was their first year or parts of their

145
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 5: first seasons. So anytime a major league player, whether you're

146
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 5: old or young, you get that experience, it allows you

147
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 5: to take that to the next year. Now it's about

148
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 5: trying to apply what you learned to the next year.

149
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 5: And of course there's gonna be some up and down moments.

150
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 5: The league's going to adjust to a lot of these guys.

151
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 5: So but the thing is is you have that experience

152
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 5: of the first year, So now you're not dealing with

153
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 5: as much newness of it all. Now you're able to

154
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 5: implement your own strategies. And with the way the Marlins

155
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 5: are handling just the data, the analytics, all the things

156
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 5: that they're giving these players, it gives them a good

157
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 5: insight into what to work for in the offseason. And

158
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 5: then you add in my opinion, I'm a bullpen guy obviously,

159
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 5: so you add Pete Fairbanks and the way he goes

160
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 5: about his business is amazing to me because he's.

161
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: A guy that he's real, right, he shows.

162
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 5: His emotions, but he's able to hone it in to

163
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 5: not allow those emotions to be in control. And when

164
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 5: you're dealing with the young bullpen or some guys that

165
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 5: I feel like Ken learn from that, that's somebody that

166
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 5: goes his expertise, goes beyond the field. He's going to

167
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 5: be able to help out a lot of those young

168
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 5: bullpen guys. And it's a young team. So when you

169
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 5: have and you add a leader like that, I feel

170
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 5: like that's great. You know, trading away where he was,

171
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 5: you know, obviously he had an amazing year last year.

172
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 5: He was arguably he could have been one of the

173
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 5: best pictures in the league last year just based off

174
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 5: of stuff. But the thing that I wondered with him

175
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 5: is how long can he maintain that?

176
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 4: Right?

177
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 5: I mean, he's shown that he has that ability, But

178
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 5: the way the Marlins handled him, they basically gave him

179
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 5: his plan. Basically they were they were like holding his

180
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 5: hand through this whole step, and I feel like that's

181
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 5: what you have to do with him. So I'm wondering

182
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 5: how he's gonna fare in Chicago when there's a lot

183
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 5: more pressure. They're trying to, you know, make a deep

184
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 5: playoff run. Marlins are two, but there's more pressure in Chicago, right,

185
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 5: So I wonder how he's going to handle that if

186
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 5: it's if you go, based off his stuff one percent,

187
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 5: he has the stuff to do it, but does he

188
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 5: have the mind and the control to be able to

189
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 5: handle all of those elements that come with being in

190
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 5: a market like that.

00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 6: I'm glad you brought that up because you did something similar.

208
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 6: You went from the Marlins over to the Mets. That

209
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 6: was the first post Marlins step of your career. How

210
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 6: different was that atmosphere and obviously ones have always had

211
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 6: struggles in bringing in fans, but the city field has

212
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 6: never had that problem. I'm curious just how big of

213
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 6: an impact can that be for someone like Cabrera.

214
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 4: Well, it was.

215
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 5: It was way different obviously, So with the media specifically,

216
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 5: you know, you're asked a lot more questions and a

217
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 5: lot more media members around. There's a lot more eyes

218
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 5: that pay attention to every move, because when you're in

219
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 5: a fan base like this, like even Chicago, they're in

220
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 5: a win now mode, right, They're always wanting to win.

221
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 5: So if you are doing something that is costing wins,

222
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 5: that's gonna always be a focal point for them, right.

223
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 5: And so with the Marlins, of course, everyone knows that,

224
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 5: you know, it's a rebuild and they're they're they're they

225
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 5: surprised a lot of people last year with their process

226
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 5: and how they went about their business. But everyone understands

227
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 5: that they are gonna lose every once in a while, right,

228
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 5: And nobody likes that, but they're understanding, like, all right,

229
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 5: there's a young team. They're gonna take their lumps with

230
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 5: the Cubs. They're they're trying to win a lot of

231
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 5: ball games here. And so if he goes out there

232
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 5: and he doesn't perform, well, let's say, you know, he

233
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 5: comes out of a game for an injury, they're gonna

234
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 5: be that's gonna be more scrutinized that the few people

235
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 5: that were with the Marlin's fan base that would say, oh,

236
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 5: is he really hurt? Is that really a blister? Like

237
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 5: all that's gonna be times ten in those other markets.

238
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 5: So he's gonna have to figure out how to cut

239
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 5: out all that noise and allow his process to take over.

240
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 5: And the Cubs are gonna have to figure out how

241
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 5: to keep him in line in that process so that

242
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 5: he can maximize his abilities, because if he doesn't, it

243
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 5: can go south fast, right, So it's it's we'll see

244
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 5: what happens again. He has incredible talent, Like his stuff

245
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 5: is amazing. Anybody would want that, but it's about how

246
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 5: can you control that so you can maximize it and

247
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 5: be the type of picture that your stuff is projecting.

248
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: Isaac looking at what the Marlins acquired in that trade,

249
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: the main piece of Casees. So we'll dive into him

250
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: thoughts on him, and then just we mentioned it. You

251
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: trade car Brow, you trade Weathers. That's two rotation spots open.

252
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: You add Chris Paddock. I still think you have two

253
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: open because you have to resecure it in Sandy Uri

254
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: and it's Paddock. Then you have two more that are open.

255
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: That's where you see a junk. That's where you see

256
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: a Max Smire, Gusto Major smelling white as all their options.

257
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: Where do you see talk a little bit about case

258
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: and then the rotation situation.

259
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, obviously at this stage in camp, I think everyone

260
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 6: knows the pitchers are a little bit ahead of the hitter,

261
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 6: so I.

262
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: Don't take too much.

263
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 6: I don't put too much stock in any won few

264
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 6: at bats in Casey's case, and I think he's had

265
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 6: four few strikeouts, a walk here and there, But yeah, no,

266
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 6: it's gonna be a big scring training for him. I

267
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 6: think he does have the inside edge to make this

268
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 6: team and be the team's opening day right fielder. But

269
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 6: it's not a gibbn from what I understand, but he

270
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 6: does seem to be on the inside in that case.

271
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 6: And then regarding the rotation, yeah, you're right, Junk was

272
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 6: going to be that at least number three or number

273
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 6: four starter. I'm not sure if he'll be stretched out enough,

274
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 6: especially considering they really just start with one inning nowadays

275
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 6: with Graver League play.

276
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 3: I look forward to asking ag about that later on.

277
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's gonna between Braxton and it's like Max Meyers,

278
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 6: those fill in spots in the rotation for a team

279
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 6: that really did depend a lot on Edward Coburrow last year,

280
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 6: they did not have a full go Sandy jury was

281
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 6: coming back from injury, so they could use as many

282
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 6: arms as they can and hopefully Paddock can really at

283
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 6: least give him one hundred and fifty innings. That'd be huge.

284
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, just going a little deeper on Casey. It should

285
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: I should remind people where our heads were at just

286
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: a few months ago, the idea of the Marlins giving

287
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 2: up Cabrera, who was their biggest trade asset, and the

288
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 2: headliner coming in return being a left handed hitting corner

289
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 2: outfielder like the Marlins thought they were all said at

290
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: that particular prototype, they thought they were good between Sotours

291
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 2: between Jacob Marcy, between Griff and Co nine, between some

292
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: of the prospects that were in there. So in this case,

293
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 2: this is really just believing in this particular talent where

294
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: even though they they had good outfield depth as it was,

295
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: but this is that just shows you how much they

296
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: think of him offensively. And I've been the low guy

297
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: on Casey. That was the one that put out that

298
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: roster projection last week that said, I don't know if

299
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 2: he's gonna make the roster yet because I'm still a

300
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: little bit concerned about the contact ability. This is a

301
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 2: guy that he repeated the TRIPAA level last year and

302
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: things look good, but when you put that into effective

303
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: and having already played at that whole level makes me

304
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: not as like fully buying into taking the stats at

305
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: phase value. I still think it's gonna be a pretty

306
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: big transition for him getting up to the big leagues,

307
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: and it's it's an interesting spring for him because he's

308
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: competing for that job. But a week from now he's

309
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: going to be joining Team Canada for the World Baseball Classic,

310
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: So that's a great experience for him, but a pretty

311
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: interesting just overall. I think we'll talk about that more

312
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: probably next weeks, show about how the WBC is such

313
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: an interesting wrinkle and what's the normal spring training progression

314
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: that we're used to.

315
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and with Casey, I think it needs to be

316
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: noted that the Moyles have been trying to get this

317
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: guy for a while, Like they tried with the Lozardo

318
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: trade talks. Lozard obviously didn't past the physical against up

319
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. The get Starling, Cobbin, Mario and Boyd. Then

320
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: they dangle Cabrera and they got an offer that they

321
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: couldn't refuse. They were in deep talks with the Yankees.

322
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: That's why Weathers ends up going over there. So Marlin's

323
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: got their guy in Casey that they've been trying to

324
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: target for over a year now, and then they get

325
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: that prospect package that seems like they were really discussing

326
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: for Cabrera. But aj looking at the rotation, three of

327
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: the spots already filled out. Let's talk about some of

328
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: the guys that are kind of on the outside looking

329
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: and feels like Max Myers always locked there, but you

330
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: never really know. Do you think he has the.

331
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: Stuff the.

332
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: Traits to be a starter, Because I think that's a

333
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: big conversation with us too, where Max Myers is a

334
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: guy who was really dealt with a lot of injury.

335
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: He only has two pitches. He's tried to develop a

336
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: couple more of those really seems to haven't really gone

337
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: well so far. You where do you stand with maximyt

338
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: and just talk about the other guys in the rest

339
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: rotation because I think another guy even mentions Braxton Garrett,

340
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: who is going to start Thursday and duned and against

341
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue Jays.

342
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know, I'm never gonna bet against somebody, right,

343
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 5: I'm never gonna bet against Max Meyer. I'm definitely gonna

344
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 5: want to see how he's going to handle it. I

345
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 5: feel like his his four team for me, has been

346
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 5: the issue. And I understand that he's trying to add

347
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 5: extra avert on that, and I feel like that's important

348
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 5: because that's the pitch, one of the pitches that is

349
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 5: getting him in trouble. He has to be able to

350
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 5: locate that pitch up in the zone arm side and

351
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 5: pick his spots with it. He's gonna have to lean

352
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 5: on that slider and obviously develop other pitches as well,

353
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 5: his sinker and his sweeper. He has to get more

354
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 5: distinction between those, more separation and more inverted like vert

355
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 5: separation so that he can get guys off balance and get.

356
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,239
Speaker 4: Guys off of his fastball.

357
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 5: I think a lot of times with him, he was

358
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 5: getting behind in the count and then having to throw

359
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 5: that fastball, and his fastball is about average ride and

360
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 5: he was trying to throw a strike with it, and

361
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 5: then he was getting punished for it. And so for him,

362
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 5: he has to stay on that top rail with his fastball.

363
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 5: That'll allow his slider to play even better, his change

364
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 5: up to play even better as well. But that's first

365
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 5: and foremost, and I think his last autum. When I

366
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 5: was looking at the numbers this past was it yesterday

367
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 5: or the day before yesterday?

368
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: He did.

369
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 5: He was throwing sixteen inches, which is a half an

370
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 5: inch higher than his previous vert which is important. So

371
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 5: hopefully that keeps going higher. But you're gonna have to

372
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 5: really keep your eyes on him because if it seems

373
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 5: like he's he's struggling or he's putting in too much effort,

374
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 5: that's what leads to injuries. So you've gotta have to

375
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 5: keep a close eye on him. Garrett Raxton, Garrett is

376
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 5: a guy that's gonna rely on his location as well.

377
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 5: He's gonna overper he doesn't overpower with his fastball. He's

378
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 5: gonna have to figure out how to to make sure

379
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 5: that he's in the zone. Uh and and not just

380
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 5: trying to throw cookies, allow his breaking ball to work,

381
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 5: keep his fastball up. For a lot of these guys,

382
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 5: with the Marlins, it's about that fastball ride. I think

383
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 5: that's what's one of the biggest things. With the exception

384
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 5: of Sandy obviously, right Sandy's gonna have the more east

385
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 5: west and so Yerie as well. But with with Garrett,

386
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 5: he's gonna have to make sure it's he's gonna have

387
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 5: to be locating almost you know, one hundred percent of

388
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 5: the time basically to make sure his stuff stays in

389
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 5: the ballpark and gives the Marlins a good shot. And

390
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 5: so we'll see if they're able to do that. But yeah,

391
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 5: the ball's in their court right now.

392
00:17:58,880 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 4: We'll see.

393
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: You mentioned p Fairbanks earlier is going to be a

394
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 3: stud of the back end of that bullpen.

395
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 6: I'm sure you know of the personality that he is

396
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 6: of curious age.

397
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 3: As a former relief arm.

398
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 6: Why is it that the guys in the bullpen always

399
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 6: seem to have or they're known for having the funniest

400
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 6: personalities of everyone on the team. That it's just it's

401
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 6: it's you know, pretty much guaranteed that that's the case.

402
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 5: Well, you have to have a certain mindset to be

403
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 5: able to only throw in tight situations. If you become

404
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 5: too serious, if you become too cutting dry, then you

405
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 5: are more susceptible to the pressure. Prop maybe you are.

406
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 5: It's you got to have some sort of humor in

407
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 5: it all, because sometimes, man, you go in there and

408
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 5: you make the pitches and it just doesn't work out

409
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 5: and you lose a ballgame for your team, right And

410
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 5: that's one of the worst feelings to know that when

411
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 5: you go in there, the team battled and now it's

412
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 5: your turn to shut out the game, and all of

413
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 5: a sudden you blow a lead. And so you got

414
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 5: to have a short memory. You got to be able

415
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 5: to forget out and for and for fair Banks, it

416
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 5: seems like he's a guy that, uh makes things more funny,

417
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 5: you know.

418
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 4: He's like kind of quirky with it.

419
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 5: But a lot of bullpen guys are quirky because you're

420
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 5: always in a pressure situation and it's like you're you're

421
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 5: sitting there all game and then all of a sudden,

422
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 5: it's like phone rings. And when that phone rings, I

423
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 5: still get like if I hear a phone ring right

424
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 5: now and it sounds like a bullpen phone, I get nervous.

425
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 5: I get those those butterflies, you know, And so you

426
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 5: got to be able to to uh turn it on

427
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 5: like that. So you're gonna your personality is gonna be

428
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 5: a little bit different, and Fairbanks is one of the

429
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 5: guys that I feel like his personality is, you know,

430
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 5: on the top end of different, and which is great though.

431
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 5: It's great because when times are bad. It's great to

432
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 5: have a guy like that because you keep you keep

433
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 5: things loose, and the season is a lot of ups

434
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 5: and downs, and if you're so serious and so set

435
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 5: on the wins and losses of the season, you're gonna

436
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 5: be susceptible to what comes with those things. Even the

437
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 5: wins can take you out of your zone as well

438
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 5: just as a losses. So to be able to think

439
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 5: of it every game as one to zero, you try

440
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 5: to go out there when what like win that ballgame

441
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 5: that you're in, then forget about it. You got to

442
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 5: have a certain mindset for that, especially in the bullpen

443
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 5: as well. So I think he brings a good mindset

444
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 5: that's gonna help out this team.

445
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,320

00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 3: I mean, just talk about it.

465
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god, his season last year as a career

466
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: year for him, and then his pitch I think saves

467
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: as well. Like it's gonna be an interesting way that

468
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: they use him, think because especially with Ronnie now out

469
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: for the season, unfortunately, he's a guy who they're gonna

470
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: have to rely on even more. And I think they're

471
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to rely on guy like Tyler Phillips even

472
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: more so. Two guys with personality right there. But just

473
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: talk about Fairbanks, what stands out about him? I think

474
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a really good signing. For the

475
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: Barns at one year thirteen million.

476
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a guy that misses barrels man. He's he's

477
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 5: he knows how to manipulate his pitches. He's got great

478
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 5: movement on his pitches. You know that four team has

479
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 5: a lot of riot. He's still you know, throwing at

480
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 5: ninety seven miles an hour with a great slider. You know,

481
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 5: his changeup is ninety four, which is not too much

482
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 5: separation between amazingly all of his pitches. He's ninety seven

483
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 5: eighty five with this slider, ninety four with his change up,

484
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 5: in ninety with his cutter, which is they play similar

485
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 5: on the velocity band, but they just have way different movements.

486
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 5: And I think the thing with him that separates all

487
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 5: of his stuff is his confidence. Right whether he's whether

488
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 5: he blew a save the day before or where he

489
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 5: saved the game, whatever it is, he comes out with

490
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 5: the same mentality, you know, And he's the guy that

491
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 5: again he's a professional, and I think he's good for

492
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 5: a bullpen like the Marlins, who they struggled last year.

493
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 5: And although I thought that they were better than the

494
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 5: numbers projected or the numbers were saying, I felt like

495
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 5: there was a lot of growth in that bullpen, especially

496
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 5: with why am I blinking?

497
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 4: On Zame?

498
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 5: He slaps his toddler, phillips what he was able to

499
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 5: do at the end of the season. Man getting himself

500
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 5: in the zone slapping his face. Hopefully he doesn't do

501
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 5: that too much and knock himself out, but you know,

502
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 5: he's unreal in the bullpen. And funny story about this,

503
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 5: all right. So I was struggling and I can't remember

504
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 5: when it was in sixteen or seventeen at the end

505
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 5: of the year and I just could not figure out

506
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 5: how to get out of this zone. And I told

507
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 5: Chad quall so maybe this is fifteen. I said, Chad, Chad,

508
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 5: can you and okay? Chad was one of those funny

509
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 5: guys too, Yeah, And I was like, Chad, hey man,

510
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 5: and I hate being touched in the back of my

511
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 5: head or back of my neck.

512
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 4: I hate just being touched.

513
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 5: I said, dude, before I walk out to the game,

514
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 5: I want you to slap me on the back of

515
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 5: my neck to get me going.

516
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 4: He was like what, And I was like, yeah, he goes,

517
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 4: all right, I'll do it.

518
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 5: He goes, just do not punch me if I do this,

519
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 5: and I was like, all right, So I'm walking out

520
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 5: and he slaps me in the back of the head

521
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 5: and I just instantly get mad and I just sprint

522
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 5: out there and the velocity was up. It's just the

523
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 5: I couldn't locate and I can't remember what I did

524
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 5: exactly in that game, but I know it wasn't good

525
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 5: enough for it to allow him to keep slapping me.

526
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 5: So with with Phillips being doing that all the time,

527
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 5: he's found his routine, uh, and he was able to

528
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 5: lock in. So that's that's a pretty it's pretty amazing.

529
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: And it's interesting because because they think Clay mccllis said

530
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: that they're gonna stretch him out a little bit and

531
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna use him as kind of a versatile, kind

532
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: of a swing man type guy a little bit like.

533
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 4: Because he was a starter too.

534
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 5: He started a couple of Yeah, yeah, that's that's something

535
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 5: that that is huge to have a guy like that,

536
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 5: because you know he can he takes that that one

537
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 5: inning mentality and you can stretch it out and he's

538
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 5: a guy that that can that knows how to get

539
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 5: out of those tough innings and use his use his

540
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 5: pitches and especially being a starter. Uh in in this past,

541
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 5: that's gonna help out tremendously in the bullpen.

542
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Clay mccallus said that they will stretch him

543
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: out a little bit there. They could see they actually

544
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: had talks about potentially having him start in twenty five. Uh,

545
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: they'll try to see maybe just stretch him out, see

546
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: if they could use him in one inning spurts, maybe

547
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: multienning relief or even if he has to go down

548
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: the lineup a couple of times. He'll do that. So

549
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: last thing we could talk about is a spring training

550
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 1: Isaac overall thoughts. I know it's four games, Chris Paddock

551
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: just made his organizational debut as well well second debut,

552
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: and John King, the lefty reliever that was their final signing,

553
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: also made his debut struck out too. So just quick

554
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: brief thoughts from you from AGA and then we'll go

555
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: in some real changes.

556
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, well i'll talk.

557
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 6: I'll touch on the one game that I did attend

558
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 6: from start to finish was that sixteen to eight loss

559
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 6: against Washington, and I think that was just a wonderful

560
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 6: prototypical spring training type game where I think.

561
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 3: Both teams almost ran out of pitchers.

562
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 6: I know, the Marlins did, but that was just something

563
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 6: where no one could throw strikes.

564
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 3: It felt like almost a single a Hammerheads game.

565
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 6: But it was a lot of fun because you're seeing

566
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 6: a whole bunch of guys either trying to start their

567
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 6: careers or trying to revive it, or just trying to

568
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 6: continue it, and it just that's what makes spree training

569
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 6: really great. A couple of guys that stood out to

570
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 6: me Davies and Delo Santos. It seems like that sort

571
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 6: of on base approach is shifted over to this year,

572
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 6: not really going for as much power as we saw

573
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty four. And then Liam Hicks really just

574
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 6: continues to be one of the better peer hitters on

575
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 6: this team, just doesn't miss a Berlin. Of course, I'd

576
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 6: be remiss not to mention Jacob Marcy, who hit one

577
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 6: about a four unred and ten feet in Game three,

578
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 6: if I'm not mistaken, And his eye and his play

579
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 6: discipline looks like it's mid season in mid season form already,

580
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 6: So that's.

581
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: Really refreshing to see Sandy.

582
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 6: A couple of tough luck base hits got him and

583
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 6: then he just gave up an absolute blast house which

584
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 6: was tough. Hey, he's working on the sweeper. Now's the

585
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 6: time to work on stuff like that. So you know

586
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 6: it's only start one of the first week for him.

587
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Joe Mack had a grand slam in this.

588
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: In this recent Marlins win, Chris Pattock made his debut

589
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: struck out one. Allowed to run man aj I just thoughts,

590
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: I know where it's a lot of experimenting during this

591
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: time that Sandy. Sandy kind of alluded that, you know,

592
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: he said it was a frustrating outing. But he's working

593
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: on that new sweeper. URI also implementing that new sweeper

594
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: as well, which you got a couple of swings on

595
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: and then we spoke about Maxie he generated with I

596
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: think on each slider he threw struck Out two. We're

597
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: see a lot of new faces, a lot of new

598
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: guys getting into into games, and we're seeing Christopher Morel

599
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: play first base. So if you want to give your

600
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: thoughts on what you've seen so far there and all

601
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: these new new guys, new positions and a lot of

602
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: a lot of endeavor and a lot of things going

603
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: on in spring training.

604
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, Sandy working on that new pitch. Any anytime,

605
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 5: you bring a new pitch into spring training or you know,

606
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 5: anytime you're throwing it at first, it feels like you're

607
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 5: throwing with the wrong hand at times like it's even

608
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 5: though the grip is just slightly different, your focal point

609
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 5: and your pressure points, it feels so different on them.

610
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 5: So it takes a lot of time to be able

611
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 5: to uh implement that, and once you get the feel

612
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 5: of it, then you have to figure out how to

613
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 5: incorporate it into your repertoire, into your arm slot so

614
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 5: that things are coming out around the same release point.

615
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 5: So there's some stages to that. That slider was right

616
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 5: down the middle and it was just a spinner, and

617
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 5: sliders are some of the are some of the pitches.

618
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 5: Those pitches when they get hit they go the furthest

619
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 5: I believe because they have that same backspin already and

620
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 5: then all hitter has to do is just touch it.

621
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 5: And that was That's what happened with him, And that's

622
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 5: gonna take a little bit to hone that in, but

623
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:24,239
Speaker 5: overall his stuff looked better then last year. As far

624
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 5: as metric wise. He threw a change of that had

625
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 5: twenty five inches of run. The plate is seventeen inches,

626
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 5: So he could have started that thing on the outside

627
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 5: and had it break all the way across the plate

628
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 5: and been a ball still, you know.

629
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 4: So that was elite paddock for me.

630
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 5: When I've looked at his stuff, he has to get ahead,

631
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 5: especially with this, you know, he tries to.

632
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 4: When he gets behind, he throws.

633
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 5: His fastball, which is a fastball, that which is his

634
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 5: pitch that gets him back into the strike zone. And

635
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 5: like eighty percent of his pitches. When I looked at

636
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 5: eighty percent of the home runs that he gave up

637
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 5: last year, we're behind in the count, and most of

638
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 5: them were fastballs or change ups that just were middle

639
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 5: middle rail. So if he just stays out of the

640
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 5: middle with his fastball and his changeup, I think that's

641
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 5: gonna help out and not it's gonna limit the long ball. Meyer,

642
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 5: he looked great. His slider that that thing was was unreal.

643
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,719
Speaker 5: It was very sharp. Uh So I like what I'm

644
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 5: seeing out of him. Uh So, pitching wise, man, I

645
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 5: think they're they're on the right track. And I know,

646
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 5: as I've been seeing a lot of these guys aren't

647
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 5: throwing one ending, but they do so much work. What

648
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 5: is it called pitch designs they do. They throw every

649
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 5: bullpen they throw is on the field, and they have

650
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 5: the all the numbers, so they're able to lock it

651
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 5: in a little bit easier. But still for me, if

652
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 5: I was a starter, i'd want to get out there

653
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 5: and throw to as many hitters as possible because game

654
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 5: speed is still different than even if you're throwing a

655
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 5: bullpen on the game mound. Uh, that's still a bit different.

656
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 5: But they're also trying to make sure that the guys

657
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 5: are going into the season as healthy and as strong

658
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 5: as possible. So I think it will see how this

659
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 5: plan works out. I mean a lot of things that

660
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 5: we didn't think would be working worked last year. So

661
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say, hey, that's the

662
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 5: wrong thing to do, because I don't know.

663
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 4: We don't know yet. We'll see how the season goes.

664
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: And I find it interesting because they throw the one

665
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: inning and then they go into the bullpen and they

666
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: finish their pitches. At that point, I would feel like,

667
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: why not just do it out on the field, like

668
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: throw two innings like you know it can happen.

669
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 5: They're trying to limit Yeah, they're trying to limit the injuries,

670
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And again, when you're competing

671
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 5: and you're trying to to shape pitches, that's how you

672
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 5: get hurt because you're not you're thinking too much. You're

673
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 5: not competing, you're thinking, and then you're then you're trying

674
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 5: to compete through thinking, and your sequence gets messed up.

675
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 5: And when your sequence gets messed up, then that leads

676
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 5: to higher chances of injuries. So I get a little

677
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 5: bit of it. Again, it wouldn't I would want different,

678
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 5: but I'm sure they explained to everybody why they're doing things,

679
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 5: and you know, you got to go with it.

680
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 3: And I would agree.

681
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 6: But you know, once you go to the WB see

682
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 6: in a couple of weeks, I feel like all of

683
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 6: that avoiding injury stuff goes down, which.

684
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 5: For sure, for sure, and and you know that that's

685
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 5: that's one of those things where it's tough because from

686
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 5: what I understand, those are some of the most intense.

687
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 5: Those are playoff, atmosphere attack games, and so that's where

688
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 5: it gets a little bit iffy, especially like for Sandy,

689
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 5: you knows, you know a lot, they're going to depend

690
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 5: on him, you know, in that in that WBC, you

691
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 5: know he's gonna be a big focal point there. So yeah,

692
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 5: it's it's a it's definitely a strategy.

693
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 4: We'll see how it plays out.

694
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, sorry, before we let you go, we do only

695
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 6: have a few more things.

696
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 3: Just obviously.

697
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 6: There's been a lot of rule changes implemented in Major

698
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 6: League Baseball over the last handful of years, some that

699
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 6: really affect pictures more than anyone else.

700
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: I'm curious your thoughts on which ones.

701
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 6: You are strongly in favor for us, which ones you

702
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 6: wouldn't have liked during your playing career, such as the

703
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 6: pitch clock, the shifting, the banning of the shift man

704
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 6: on second and extra innings, and limiting the amount of

705
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 6: times you can disengage from the mound on a skal.

706
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 3: Let's say a scale of one to five.

707
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 6: Which ones are your least favorite that being one and

708
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 6: most favorite being five.

709
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 4: I honestly I'm in favor of all of them. I

710
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:10,959
Speaker 4: like them.

711
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 3: Wow.

712
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, it speeds the game up, and for me, I

713
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 5: was never really worried about base runners. I could be

714
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 5: quick to the plate if I needed to be. The

715
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 5: thing is is, you know the rules that are in

716
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 5: place right when you're a Major League baseball player, there's

717
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 5: nothing you can do about it.

718
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 4: They're gonna be implemented.

719
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 5: So you've got to figure out a way to optimize

720
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 5: whatever it is that you've got to do in those

721
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 5: moments to be the best that you can. Okay, you

722
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 5: can't step off more than three times, and if you

723
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 5: don't get them a third time, you know, they get

724
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 5: to go to the next base. Okay, well, then try

725
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 5: to get them the first time, or be quicker to

726
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 5: the plate. Figure out a way to be good in

727
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 5: whatever situation. Oh, you're you usually take twenty seconds in

728
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 5: between pitches, and that's when you're your best. Okay, figure

729
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 5: out work on how to be better in twelve seconds

730
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 5: or so. That's the thing with me, Like, of course

731
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 5: there's things that maybe I wouldn't like or whatever. When

732
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 5: if you're worried about liking or not or liking or

733
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 5: not liking something, when it's gonna happen either way, you're

734
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 5: in the wrong frame of mind. You know, this is

735
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 5: this is stuff that fans talk about. I don't like it,

736
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 5: and that's fine for us to talk about all these

737
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 5: different things. It's ruining baseball. It's the best thing for baseball.

738
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 5: But that's for us as a.

739
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 4: Player, You're not worried about any of that. You can't

740
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 4: worry about any of that.

741
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 5: You got to say, all right, my job is as

742
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 5: a reliever is to go out there and get three

743
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 5: outs or four outsill having me out, So you want

744
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 5: me to get that's my job without giving up any runs.

745
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 5: Everything else, all the other rules. Everyone's playing with the

746
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 5: same rules. It's not like it's just us. So we're

747
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 5: gonna I'm gonna figure out how to be the best.

748
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 5: And I think when guys have that mindset, it doesn't

749
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 5: matter what the implement.

750
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 4: Everyone's got to do it and you figure out how

751
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 4: to be the best.

752
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: One last thing I wanted to touch on Eli Christopher Morale

753
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: played first base. Griffin corn I'm not there just yet.

754
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: Maybe in a week or so that will be the case.

755
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: Just thoughts that game was he was there. You could

756
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: see him play first base. He made some really nice

757
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: plays that I think he looks pretty good so far.

758
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: It's early, but he looks good. I know he had

759
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: one mess hap I think yesterday or the other day.

760
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: It was very recent that all their game was also televised.

761
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 2: We've learned a lot about Christopher Morel's a first baseman,

762
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: and a tiny sample because both of his games that

763
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: he played First World televised and he was very involved

764
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 2: from the beginning. He made that really great play against

765
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 2: the Mets in terms of having to range into foul

766
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 2: territory and then set his feet and then throw it

767
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 2: to a pitcher on the run at the bag, and

768
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 2: that was really impressive. The one kind of misque that

769
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 2: I brought up that you're referencing is it was this

770
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 2: pretty basic pick in the dirt on a throw from

771
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 2: Javier so Noha. And the reason why I kind of

772
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: clipped that and shared it is because Noah won a

773
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: Gold Glove last year, and any fielder that wins a

774
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 2: Gold Glove, you get some help from your teammates. And

775
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 2: that's like one of those situations where it shows up

776
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 2: on Sonoha's statuet. But that's kind of a play scooping

777
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 2: a ball that first baseman. That's kind of the one

778
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 2: of their core necessity in their skill set is being

779
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 2: able to handle the ball like that, and so that's

780
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 2: that's probably the one aspect that is most new to

781
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: a guy that has played everywhere else on the Diamonds

782
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 2: except for first base. So even though it's considered one

783
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 2: of the easiest positions. There are still like new aspects

784
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 2: of it that you don't know about until you tried

785
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 2: it out in the first place. With him, I actually

786
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: spoke about this recently on like a separate program about

787
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 2: ultimately with him, it's coming down to his bat. They

788
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 2: signed Christopher Morel because of his power, because he's hit

789
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 2: more home runs in the season going back a few

790
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 2: years than any other Marlins hitter. Hads he had twenty

791
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 2: six a few years ago. No other guy on the

792
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 2: current Marlins roster, not even Kyle Stowers, has shown that

793
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 2: kind of home run power. That's why they got him.

794
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 2: And so if they can find a home for him defensively,

795
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 2: even better, but they're hoping to get him back on

796
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: track offensively. That's going to continue to be one of

797
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: the storylines that we follow throughout this spring, is what

798
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 2: they're doing at first base, because the assumption, especially from

799
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 2: us heading into the offseason, is that that was going

800
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: to be the top of their list signing a guy

801
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 2: to play there every day, and there were a lot

802
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 2: there were a lot of free agents available that they

803
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 2: passed over and staid they're kind of mismashed. I know

804
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 2: that Isac. You's spoken about this before, that the senses

805
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 2: that Morel is going to be kind of the primary

806
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 2: guy at least early on, and then they'll kind of

807
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 2: adjust from there depending on how he handles it.

808
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's Marvels don't give out a ton of major

809
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 6: league free agent deals.

810
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 3: Christopher Morel was one of them.

811
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 6: On the offensive side, he didn't get every chance in

812
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 6: the world to be the everyday first baseman or sort

813
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 6: of seeing him even face Righty's I think he's going

814
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 6: to be the guy that's penned in for at least

815
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 6: April in May, and they're gonna, you know, they're not

816
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 6: just gonna let him keep writing it out if he's

817
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 6: not performing well, either defensively or offensively. But yeah, to

818
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 6: begin the season, I think that's what you can count

819
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 6: on is Christopher Morrell at first base, and unfortunately, with

820
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 6: Grand Paully's injury, I think you can pretty much right

821
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 6: in the entire infield, with Auto and X up the

822
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 6: middle and Connor Norbery getting their opening day reps at

823
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 6: third base.

824
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: Well, with Paully, the imaging came back and it's fine.

825
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: He is expecting to get into games towards the end

826
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: of the week. So this podcast is dropping on Wednesday,

827
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: so maybe at some point towards the end of that

828
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: this week he will be back in the game action.

829
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: And clearly I think he's the better defender at third base,

830
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: and his bat seems a little bit just more safe

831
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 1: in my opinion than at the moment. Norby has looked

832
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: fine the spring. He had one bad throw at third,

833
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: but overall he's looked fine at the position. He's also

834
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: getting some first base some outfield reps, so I'm sure

835
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: we'll be seeing him there at some point thre in

836
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: the spring. But Pobly should be back pretty soon.

837
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 2: For the Violins.

838
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 6: Before we before we ended up a j This is

839
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 6: such a weird time, four major leaguers before the regular

840
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 6: season begins. You know where you have night games, You

841
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 6: right with the ballpark at two pm. Here you're at

842
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 6: the clavehouse at like six am for almost six seven

843
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 6: weeks at a time. Just take us through the difference

844
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 6: for major leaguers, and like how long it takes to

845
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 6: readjust back to regular season ball, And just if you

846
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 6: have any crazy funny spring training memory during your time

847
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 6: as a player, particularly I guess in Jupiter.

848
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I it's very different.

849
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 5: I didn't, especially when I got to a point where

850
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 5: I knew I was going to be, you know, in

851
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 5: the bullpen. I did, wouldn't fighting for a spot. I

852
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 5: was so ready for spring training to be over. Uh

853
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 5: you know, I'm I'm I'm throwing in the fifth inning

854
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 5: or whatever, and it's there's not a lot of adrenaline

855
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,959
Speaker 5: going or I have to wait till the ninth inning

856
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 5: to work on you know, uh, closing out ball games,

857
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 5: whatever it is. And it takes like four hours for

858
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 5: me to throw, you know. But the cool part is

859
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 5: you're close to the fans. You get to interact with

860
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 5: them more. Also with guys that aren't on the big

861
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 5: league roster just yet. You're able to uh, you know,

862
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 5: kind of teach and learn them and and and uh,

863
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 5: you know, just be around those guys. The coolest part

864
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 5: about spring training for me is we used to have

865
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 5: these clubby Olympics where we'd have all the clubhouse guys.

866
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 4: We would set up like an obstacle course. Like one

867
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 4: of them was they had the pitching machine.

868
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 5: They're they're practicing catching pot as a catcher, so they

869
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 5: had to like throw their their mask off and you know,

870
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 5: catch pop ups and they would do like obstacle courses,

871
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 5: races and stuff, and all the guys, like all the

872
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 5: everyone that was in camp would would give a certain

873
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 5: amount of money into a pot, so first place of

874
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 5: one x amount and second and third place. So for me,

875
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 5: that was one of the coolest things because it brought

876
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 5: a little bit of fun and excitement to spring training

877
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 5: and back whenever I was in spring training, things were

878
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 5: more eyewash, like there wasn't as much work going on

879
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 5: like there is now in the Marlin I go to.

880
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 5: I went to the camp, you know last year when

881
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 5: I was there, I'm going in March. But I was

882
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 5: amazed on how everything was set up. Everything was like

883
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 5: in stations, and everything was was helping the guys get better.

884
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 5: There wasn't a lot of guys a pictures shagging bp

885
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 5: like what's that for? You're standing out there in cleats,

886
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 5: like just sitting there like some have a few coaches

887
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 5: out there with fun goos like they do now, you know,

888
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:55,919
Speaker 5: and and everything is so set up in a way

889
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 5: to optimize your time there in spring training. So in

890
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 5: spring training, man, you know, when we had those Olympics,

891
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 5: it was kind of one of the some of the

892
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 5: fun part of spring training that allowed us to have

893
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 5: some fun and to get together as a team, as

894
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 5: a full staff and club. He's included and pulled together

895
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 5: in the same direction. So that was some of the

896
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 5: most fun times in spring training for me.

897
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: Last one before I wrap up, Aja, you kind we

898

Speaker 5: I get to wear a suit and tie and look

910
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 5: all nice and stuff. I mean, whenever were I was playing,

911
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 5: I bought a lot of suits because we had to

912
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 5: wear suits on the plane. And then two years after

913
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 5: I bought all those suits, they were like, oh, you

914
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 5: can wear whatever you want on the plane. I'm like,

915
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,959
Speaker 5: what about my suits? So now I get to bust

916
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,640

00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 5: game and talk talk tomorrowl in baseball and honestly learn, man,

918
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,479
Speaker 5: I mean learning even how you guys see the game,

919
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 5: implementing that into my style, understanding like the whole aspect

920
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 5: of how you view Major League Baseball, and then giving

921
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 5: my opinion, giving my experience. It's been fun to watch

922
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 5: learn the game from a different aspect and have fun.

923
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 4: Man. So it's been great and I'm excited to continue this.

924
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 3: When did they change the suits thing? I like that?

925
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 3: What year was that abolished?

926
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 4: Twenty sixteen? For us?

927
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 5: I believe a lot of guys complained about, you know,

928
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 5: like what have we got it? And it made sense,

929
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 5: like a lot of times we're traveling, it was late night,

930
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 5: we're getting into in the hotel, nobody's seeing us, So

931
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 5: I get the understanding of why they didn't want to

932
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 5: wear suits. But for me, man, that was one of

933
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 5: the most fun things to do, like look sharp in

934
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 5: a suit, go out to dinner when we get to

935
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 5: wherever we were going, and just look sharp. But they

936
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 5: change that, and but some team, yeah, I don't think

937
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 5: any team.

938
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 4: Wears suits now.

939
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 5: Everyone wears track suits and stuff, which again is way

940
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 5: more comfortable, way more I understand why, uh, but man,

941
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 5: it's hard to compete with how you look in a suit.

942
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

943
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: I tend to agree, Isaac is a big basketball coaches

944
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: should be wearing suits.

945
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 6: I can't believe the NBA head coaches are wearing tracksuits

946
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 6: on the sideline of NBAD.

947
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 4: That was so dope like watching them, Like the suits

948
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 4: they were wearing. Lg up that man. Yeah that.

949
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 3: You saw pat Riley wearing a suit or Eric Spolstra,

950
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 3: they looked the lead. That was that brought like that

951
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 3: made everyone in the crowd class here. But now they're

952
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 3: I wear to La Fitness to work out.

953
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 4: We wearing yoga pants up there, man, And.

954
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 6: There's nothing that differentiates them from the assistant coaches, which

955
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 6: is the worst part because I.

956
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: Don't know what you know, but I was after the bubble,

957
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: after the bubbles when they made I don't know one

958
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 1: thing had to do with the other.

959
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:56,160
