The biggest 7 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: news that we got in terms of some of the 8 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: Marlins and also the entire Major League and it's just 9 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: such a win for everyone involved in. Something that everyone 10 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: should be proud of is that Major League Baseball have 11 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: announced that teams will provide housing for minor league baseball 12 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 1: players starting in two thousand twenty two. This is from 13 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,319 Speaker 1: Jeff Passion from ESPN. This is it was broke on 14 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: Sunday and this is easily the biggest news for minor 15 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: league players, something they have been fighting for. We talked 16 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: about it, you know, the articles on fish stripes and 17 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,559 Speaker 1: minor league players, not just from the Marlins, but count 18 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: with some other teams. I've talked about it. Even a 19 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: viral picture went out, you know, former Marlins pitcher Tom 20 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: Kohler to d a picture of his first mining league 21 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: apartment and it's just bags everywhere you have one player 22 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: all the way, you know, a mattress on the floor. Yeah, 23 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: it looks like there's probably four five guys in that 24 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: picture are just all living on the floor in an apartment. 25 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: And that's not something you want to see from minor 26 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: league players. And you know, how the team's handled this 27 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: was really in poor favor and really disgusting how they had, 28 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: you know, these players treated as like toys in a way, 29 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: you know, just you know, oh, all right, he's just 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: you know, a contract, he's just someone there that we 31 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: can hopefully trade, or he's just a body. No, this 32 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: is a win. This shows that there that they're people, 33 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: that they're not just you know, players, that they have, 34 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: that that we care that finally, it took this long. 35 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: It doesn't even start till next year in twenty twenty two. 36 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: But this is a big win for minor league players 37 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: and for every fan to see this, because there have 38 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: been you know, go fund means and you know, just 39 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 1: adopt a minor league or tweet Twitter page out there. 40 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: But it really helps out and you know, it says 41 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: he you know, the physical toll is clear. The mental 42 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: issues only compound the problems when players are promoted organizations. 43 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: Typically we will provide them a hotel them for a 44 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: few days. They expect them to arrange housing themselves between 45 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: procuring new accommodations and figuring out how to extract themselves 46 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: from own ones. Players say housing is the most acute 47 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: problem for minor leaguers. That's from Jeff Passing from ESPN. 48 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: That's a really great quote that he had that you 49 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: know that these players are are one time, you know, 50 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: they're in Low A. Next thing, they're halfway across the 51 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: country to go to Double A. And some of the 52 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: places are in expensive cities. You know, there's a Low 53 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: A team in Brooklyn. There's a like excuse me, hye, 54 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: I believe in Brooklyn, the the you know A team 55 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: and San Jose affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. And 56 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: those are expensive cities, you know, those aren't you know, 57 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: cities with you know two thousand and three thousand, you know, 58 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: populations that you can afford to live there. These are big, 59 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: expensive cities that people really want to travel to and 60 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: move to. And just to see this, to see that 61 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: it's a win for you know, minor league baseball players 62 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: that have been fighting for this. It's a big win. 63 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: This is awesome to see and it makes me really 64 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: proud to be a baseball fantasy to see a win 65 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: for the minor league just because it really starts. It's 66 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: really starts their Triple A, Double A, Class A, all 67 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: those players, you know, they deserve it and this is 68 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: such a big win. I'm so happy for them. And 69 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: to move on, let's go talk a little bit about 70 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: the playoffs. As of recording this, we have yet to 71 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: see the Assros and the Red Sox, but that series 72 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: has just been credible. But the series to really talk 73 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: about and that's really brought out everyone's eyes just a 74 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: Dodgers and Brave series. Really battle between two Marlins. As 75 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, for the Dodgers, they have Alex Vesia, who 76 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: has pitched really well for them so far these playoffs. 77 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: And you look at the two games that he faced 78 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: in a in Atlanta, he has given up only two 79 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: hits and has had four strikeouts and one and two 80 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: thirds Inex pitched in total. The former Marlin was traded 81 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: the fourth season and he has really proved himself to be, 82 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: you know, the reliever for the Dodgers, especially right after 83 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: the starting pitcher putting base. Yeah, like they did on 84 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: you know, for that Max Surcher start on the seventeenth, 85 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,679 Speaker 1: that's you know, really great to see, you know, having 86 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: Marlin's players be put out there and and these capacities 87 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: and you look at the Braves for them, and to 88 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: do Vall had a hit. He's batting you know, two 89 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: fifty so far that series, and that's another player that 90 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: that's luck to see go. But it really happened for 91 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: him to see him thrive there. And as for Miami, 92 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna be kind of hard to watch this postseason 93 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: when you see so many players and actually a player 94 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: I believe in every team has someone from Miami. We 95 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: mentioned Duval, you mentioned Vessia red Sox, we have Nathan 96 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: Nibaldi Astros, we have Imie Garcia who was traded in 97 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: the briand de la Cruz trade around the trade deadline. 98 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: And it's just really hard to see when you see 99 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: these players thrive. But it's also good to see, you 100 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: know that they're they're doing good. That it's really great 101 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: to see. But in terms of Miami, if you want 102 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: to know some fun facts between them and when the Braids, 103 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: you know, Marlins had hit more home runs against next 104 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: three this season than any other pitcher, which is really 105 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: crazy to see because night Fried is such a great pitcher, 106 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: but that that's really incredible hitting that many home brons 107 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: and you look at Max Free this postseason, it's really 108 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: kind of almost been something else. He's a great pitcher 109 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: and he will be pitching, you know, for the for 110 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: the Braves. But if you really want to talk about 111 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: this series, that Braive series has really open eyes for 112 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: me that I kind of think now that the Braids 113 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: are probably gonna win this series. You know, two oh, 114 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: they go back to la they had the Dodgers on 115 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: the ropes. I do believe that the Braids could win 116 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: that series. And when you look at the Astros and Red Soide, 117 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: you know, tied up one one time recording, I think 118 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: the Askers are probably gonna pull it up. I think 119 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: was a really great pitching hitting wise, they're one of 120 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: the best in baseball. And I think we're gonna get 121 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: Braves Astros World Series. I don't think anyone had that 122 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: as their worst series. Two prediction teams this season, but 123 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: that hopefully, you know, we see that happen. It would 124 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: probably be a great series. But that does it for me. 125 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: If you enjoy the podcast, make sure to leave a like, 126 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: share an swerubscribe to over you get the small pod 127 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: and no matter what, always, even in the off season, 128 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: always go fish.
