00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: can get a wednesdnight for for the Lady Knees.

14
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: That my title pick.

15
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: But anyways, we had to Marlins part here. The season's

16
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: right around the corner. We're making this a weekly show now.

17
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: Now that the season's underway, I'm pretty pumped about that.

18
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: I'm starting to get baseball fever. I'm starting to feel it.

19
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: It's here, Marlons.

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 3: Just round it out.

21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: Spring training today, inter squad game tomorrow, a little scrimmage action,

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: some workouts throughout the week, and then all of a

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: sudden it could be opening day santy Ago.

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: Contract takes on Max Scherzer. I thought it would be Erlander,

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: but either way that Marlon's got to see both those pictures.

26
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 3: So well, we got a few people here.

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: We got Isaac and Alex Carver waiting to get in

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: to speak, so we'll let them in. We'll talk amongst

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: the f Shtripes panel here at first, and then we'll

30
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: start taking your guys questions.

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 3: That come to speak with us, since emphasis on this

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: and we want to hear your guys questions.

33
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: We want to answer your guys questions, especially with the

34
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: season right around the corner and with the final roster

35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: pretty much out at this point. We'll break that stuff

36
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: down for you guys and any questions to have.

37
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: Who didn't make it, who why, and that kind of thing.

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: So we'll start with just the way the split squad

39
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 2: games went today, and you know how the Marlins A

40
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: rounded out this last week of games.

41
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: ELI, was there anything that.

42
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: You really took away from this last week or so

43
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: in terms of what could translate early on in the season.

44
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: Well, they were very consistent in I guess two regards.

45
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: One of them was the awful defense from the very

46
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: beginning to the very end for people that were watching

47
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: that the afternoon game with the Triple A depth players,

48
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: and it is concerning to see all these guys kind

49
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: of understandably actually playing out of position and having trouble

50
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: making a wide variety of plays. The things that don't

51
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: always show up in terms of earned runs and unearned runs,

52
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: but in terms of miscutoff men and throwing to the

53
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: wrong bases and just having bad hands like this is

54
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: they're going to be hemorrhaging runs in this aspect of

55
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: the game, I imagine. I don't think it's going to

56
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: be a strength of the team this year on a

57
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: defensive side. I think the bright spot as he got

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: to the end of spring training, and I guess you

59
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: could say, arguably is the most important thing is that

60
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: the starting pitchers kind of looked the way that the

61
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: starting pitcher should, which is a big strength and potentially

62
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: one of the better rotations in all baseball. That final

63
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: turn through the rotation from Sandy's dominance to I mean,

64
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: I guess Edward Carrera all things consider, if you justjust

65
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: for the quality of competition that Edwards start he made

66
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals a lineup was extremely encouraging in all aspects.

67
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: I guess they ended on a positive note in that

68
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: regard where I think that whole last time through the rotation,

69
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: I guess the one thing missing from that was Johnny Quato.

70
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: He was pitching on the backfields instead of in a

71
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: real game, so we haven't actually got to see him

72
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: succeed in front of the public eye this entire spring,

73
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: but on the backfields. From what I'm hearing, he was

74
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: better than he had been in his actual Grapefruit League

75
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: starts during this most recent appearance, and he's on track

76
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: for opening Day. For all the starters to make it

77
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: through spring healthy, and for most of them to find

78
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: success in the games that they pitched, that's going to

79
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: be so crucial. We've been talking for years about the

80
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: potential of this Marlins rotation, and obviously last year you saw

81
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: Sandy break out being the best pitcher in baseball. It's

82
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: going to be critical, though, for everybody in this rotation

83
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: to be average or better in order to compensate for

84
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: the other question marks around this team's defense and especially

85
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: in even their offense at this point. So to see

86
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: the starters look like themselves and their stuff to look

87
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: like it's supposed to look. That's a bright spot. So

88
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: that's one reason to feel encouraged at the very end

89
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: of this.

90
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I couldn't agree more.

91
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: And on that starting pitching note, we know the five

92
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: guys at this point, Brax and Garrett is going to

93
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: be in the bull but he won't be in the

94
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 2: rotation more than likely.

95
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: So you know your five guys. We know Sandy's opening day.

96
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: Presumably Lozardo is gonna start opening night, He'll be number

97
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: two in the rotation.

98
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: How do you think they disperse Eddie Trevor and Johnny Cuato?

99
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 3: And why in that order or in the order to choose?

100
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: I should say, yeah, and what that's It's a big

101
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: question to see exactly what order these guys go in.

102
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: And I think with Cueto, one thing that I did

103
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: want to mention is that he does have a recent

104
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: history of struggling in spring games. So forget that these

105
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: signs coming off a really solid year for the White Sox.

106
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: And even though he's at a stage in his career

107
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: where you think he's declining, I think I would hesitate

108
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: to jump to conclusions about that, and I'm kind of

109
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: giving him more of a benefit of the doubt than

110
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: they normally would at this stage of the year. So

111
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: we know that he's gonna pitch is tomorrow. Yeah, I'll

112
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: have to double check this pitching schedule right here here

113
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: as to what is routine is there. They're being kind

114
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: of quiet about exactly how this rotation is gonna line

115
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: up because we have tomorrow is Sandy and Quato are

116
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: both throwing bullpen sessions, and we know Sandy's gonna be

117
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: online to pitch Thursday, and then on we fast forward

118
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: to Wednesday, that's when Lozardo and Edward Cabrera are pitching

119
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: their bullpen sessions, and then Trevor Rodgers is throwing a

120
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: bullpen on Thursday. So it does appear that looks like

121
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: Rogers is going to be at the very end of

122
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: this rotation at the number five spot. But I guess,

123
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: just to get everybody on the same page, all indications

124
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: are that Sandy Lozardo, Quato, Rogers, and Edward Cabrera those

125
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: are going to be the five, and that Braxton is

126
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: going to be on this roster as the long reliever

127
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: spot starter type for whenever inevitably a spot opens up. Yeah,

128
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: as a whole I have the most confidence in Lozardo

129
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: being the second best pitcher in this rotation. Everything he

130
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: did late last year looks pretty legit. But whether he

131
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: actually lines up as number two guy or the number

132
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: three guy or even fourth coming out of the spring training,

133
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it matters very much. I mean, the

134
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: key differentiator is going to be which of these other

135
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: guys besides Sandy actually can make a full thirty two

136
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: starts and actually stay in the rotation towards the end.

137
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: So I don't get too caught up in terms of

138
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: what this first like turn through the rotation is going

139
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: to look like, but it's it does seem that just

140
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: about everybody, with possible exception of Quato, everybody else is

141
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: like pretty close to fully stretched out. So at least

142
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: you're going to get somewhat of a real start from

143
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: them from the get go.

144
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's really important.

145
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: And having Brox and Garrett as a long reliever in

146
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: that regards also going to be really important, because even

147
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: if these guys aren't stretched out tomorrow, it's of twenty

148
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: nine games and thirty two days to start the season.

149
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: You're gonna want to be able to disperse some of

150
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: the pitching time amongst others. If the bullpen is not

151
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: really all that deep, you've got I'd say four or

152
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: five really good guys, a few guys that are iffy

153
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: and just made the roster just because there is really

154
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: wasn't a lot, and early on I've been saying this

155
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: last few spaces. Early on, I wouldn't be surprised to

156
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: Marlin's struggle, but having Brass and Garrett be able to

157
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: come in in a game where you know, Quaito's only

158
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: able to go four or five innings, so he's only

159
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: allowed to pitch seventy five pitches. In that regard, I

160
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: like how the Marlins are handling that. Of course, we

161
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: would have loved to see Braxton Garrett earn a role

162
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: in that rotation, but the Marl's have a good problem

163
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: whereas there's too many cooks in the kitchen, and that's

164
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 2: why they were able to trade Pablo. I couldn't imagine

165
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 2: what they would have done trying to figure out that.

166
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 3: Fifth spot had they kept Pablo.

167
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: Speaking of him, he is in line the face of

168
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: Marlins that first week of this season, I believe it's

169
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: April fifth, the series finale against Minnesota.

170
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: Is that when he's supposed to the pitch against Miami.

171
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: Yes, that is what it is looking like they have that.

172
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: Could that be a Pablo versus Sandy game?

173
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: That looks unlikely because it's there's a difference in an

174
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: off day where the Twins have an off day before

175
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: that series, the Marlins play every single day. So even

176
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: though they're both starting opening Day, like Pablo's next starts

177
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: is expected to come one day later because because their schedule,

178
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: because of the off day in between taking away take

179
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: away what would have been the dream matchup, We're one

180
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: day off getting that during the WBC with the d

181
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: R and Venezuela, and now it looks like we'll be

182
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: one day off getting that one. Even so, Pablo's return

183
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: highly anticipated, speaks a lot to have the Twins feel

184
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: about him that he is their opening day guy for

185
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: their actual opening.

186
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: They don't exactly have a bad rotation either.

187
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 2: They've got Tyler Mallley, Sonny Gray on the Reds guys

188
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 2: in there. They have one more guy I can't remember

189
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: off the top of my head. I'm not too familiar

190
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: with the Twins, but that's a really good rotation. I

191
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: think they're my pick to win the Al Central, but

192
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: I think we could see maybe Pablo versus Trevor if

193
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 2: they do go Trevor in that by spot, or maybe Eddie.

194
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 2: I don't know what they'll do, but I think that's

195
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: a day game, isn't it. That's that's a series finale.

196
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's the same people underneath the hood. That's

197
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: like the one day the home stand where we don't

198
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: I'm not sure whether we'll have one of our writers

199
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: they're recovered. Because it is a weekday afternoon game in

200
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: early April, it's it's kind of strange to have that

201
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: precise timing of it, to have it early afternoon. I

202
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: think it's a one o'clock game on that Wednesday, so

203
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: probably the smallest crowd of the homestand too to see

204
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: Publo pitch unless people are extra motivated to go out

205
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: there and support him and actually root against him for

206
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: the first time.

207
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, his first all right, So since the end of

208
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: last season, I think two.

209
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: Out of three or three out of four, I can't remember.

210
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 3: His last competitive.

211
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: Starts will be a lone depot park, even though a

212
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: couple of them will be with Venezuela or have been

213
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 2: with Venezuela, and one of them is gonna be with

214
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: the twins, so I guess it's a good way to

215
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: ease him into a new environment, so to speak.

216
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: So we talked about the rotation, we talked about the defense.

217
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: A lot of people have been excited to maybe see

218
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: a little bit more offensive production this year.

219
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: We saw the jazz suitet yesterday saying.

220
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: That he's gonna play one hundred and fifty five games,

221
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: he's gonna hit the ball well, all of that, and

222
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: on paper, this is a lie up that's very capable

223
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: of hitting. All these hitters in their best season have

224
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 2: hit the ball really well, and almost all these players

225
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 2: can be All Star caliber at their peak. But the

226
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: question is will they do that? And my answer is

227
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: probably not. But there's still a lot to be excited about,

228
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: especially with some of these guys. Well, what's maybe three

229
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: guys that have kind of flown under the radar that

230
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: you think could actually have a really good season at

231
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: the plate this year?

232
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: Two or three that we're not exactly thinking.

233
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: About, Oh boy, three, two or three that could actually.

234
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: Bro How about we with the one or two? Yeah,

235
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: I don't think there will be three. Yeah.

236
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: The interesting place to start is Brian de la Cruz

237
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: I was the high man on him when he became

238
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: a Marlin, and that one probably slightly lower than most

239
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: on him because it was so encouraging what he did

240
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: late last year, all the peripherals behind it. He was

241
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: one of the best hitters in all baseball those last

242
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: four weeks of the season.

243
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: George was the only at the end of the season

244
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: if you are looking at ops.

245
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that being said, it was in September against a

246
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: mix of opponents that actually cared and those who didn't care.

247
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: It's all there's always extra noise in September October stat's

248
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: regular season compared to the other portions of the season.

249
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: So even though under the hood he looks like a

250
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: great hitter, just barreling the ball to all fields and

251
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: all situations, it was a small sample and it was,

252
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, against at a time of year where maybe

253
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: the results are less indicative of true talent than than usual.

254
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: So I'm fascinated to see the way it goes. It's good.

255
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: The all indications are that he's made this opening day roster.

256
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: I'll be fascinating to see how they use him because

257
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: he is kind of a blow eye. Garcia and Jorges

258
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: Hilaire on the depth chart in some respects and yeah,

259
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: there's only going to be doesn't seem that there's going

260
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: to be true every day playing time for DLC unless

261
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: he really catches fire and unless one other veteran hitter

262
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: struggles badly or gets hurt. So I'm fascinated to both

263
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: see his production and how often they use him and

264
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: in what situations they use him. What we have seen

265
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: is in spring training using him effectively as the backup

266
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: center fielder that seems to be the guy who's going

267
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: to play whenever Jazz is not in the lineup, potentially

268
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: to be a defensive replacement for Jazz. That's what I'll

269
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: be curious to see as well, is why they use

270
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: him in that way. So DLC is a hot one

271
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: to watch for what he does and what it could

272
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: mean for his future because the Marlins would love for

273
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: him to break out and actually be a building block

274
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: for this team. There's a lot for him to potentially

275
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: gain this year he sticks out. From that regard, I

276
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: guess we could point to people are at generally favorable

277
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: about Nick Fortes and what he could potentially do, even

278
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: though his numbers by the end of the year like

279
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: very pedestrian. He's steadily faded after that good start in

280
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: like May and June, somebody liked DLC who underneath the

281
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: hood he looks pretty good. He doesn't hit the ball

282
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: quite as hard. Aside from that though, like there are

283
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: a lot of good habits that he has as a

284
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: as a hitter that will, especially at a catcher position,

285
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: that would make him super valuable. And I know there's

286
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: some momentum to make him like the primary starter at

287
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: catcher on this team in front of Stallings. That's not

288
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: going to happen immediately, but that could happen as the

289
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: year goes on. I'm gonna be focused more on those

290
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: younger guys, knowing that this team, we know how poorly

291
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: hitting development has gone in recent years. And next up

292
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: in the pipeline, it's kind of dicey in terms of

293
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: what other reinforcements are coming. They need these young major leaguers.

294
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: They're already counting on Jazz obviously. Beyond him, it's it's

295
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: Dela Cruz and Fortes, and there are a couple others

296
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: that I'm not quite as high on or as optimistic about.

297
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: But there's there is a scenario where you have multiple

298
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: guys emerge as close to everyday players, and if you're

299
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: able to slap them in as regular guys moving forward

300
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: save some money at those positions, that gives them even

301
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: more flexibility to actually build the surrounding cast you need

302
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: to make this a competitive team.

303
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

304
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: One thing I do want to point out with DLC

305
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: that we were kind of discussing amongst ourselves is.

306
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: Something that maybe not a lot of people see or.

307
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: Have seen, is as Sanchez is out of minor league options,

308
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: of course you're not gonna sent Hilaire avan Garcia down,

309
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: So your one expendable option in the outfield is Brian

310
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: dale Cruz because he has one more minor league option left.

311
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 2: So there's a guy catching fire at Triple A this year,

312
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: maybe Ayton Burdick.

313
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 3: He had a pretty solid spring, especially at the beginning.

314
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: DLC is gonna be your odd man out because he's

315
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: the only one in the outfield that has any minor

316
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: league options. So that was something I would keep eye on.

317
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: Four tes. I'm pretty high on him. I think he'll

318
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: be their go to in terms of the lineup of

319
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: who they want hitting at catcher. But of course Stalin's

320
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: has some pretty good batteries going, especially with Sandy as

321
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: we all know, so he'll sold command some playing time.

322
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: But I guess on the flip side here on a

323
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 2: little bit of the more negative side. Fish Strips members

324
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 2: had this conversation yesterday, who is your main DFA candidate

325
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: this season? Someone who will be getting the boot at

326
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: some point this year?

327
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: First you have to be on the forty man roster

328
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: to get da fade, And the one that they are

329
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: about to put on the forty men in the coming

330
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: days is Julie Guriel. He is somebody that I have

331
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: to bluntly fade as this season goes on, like I

332
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: don't see him making it through the year and potentially

333
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: not even half the year as an actual productive major

334
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: league player. His defense really it out in a small

335
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: sample this spring at first base. As we know from

336
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: Leywin Diaz experiment experiment, there's only like so much value

337
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: and so few situations where you can actually put a

338
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: defense only first baseman on your roster and win games.

339
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: So with Guriel, the contact skills are still there at

340
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: something I worry about the power just not coming back,

341
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: whether it's home run power or just warning track power

342
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: or anything close to That's that's my concern right there.

343
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: So my question isn't my worry isn't so much about

344
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: him underperforming. I think that's kind of my assumption going

345
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: into this is that it's going to look kind of

346
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: similar to last year with the Astros. Offensively, The question

347
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: is like how the team responds to that. Do they

348
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: actually they have all these other part time first basement

349
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: at Triple A who they weren't enamored enough with to

350
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: put on the roster, But at what point do they

351
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: consider if Guryel does struggle. I'm not going to say

352
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: it's guaranteed, but if he does struggle, then how long

353
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: is that leash and how long do they keep him

354
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: there and trust in his track record and just pray

355
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: for a bounce back, versus put some trust in these

356
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: younger guys who haven't gotten an opportunity before or have

357
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: got a limited opportunity, and give them a chance to

358
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: be that part time first baseman, whether a platoon player,

359
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: or try to replace that position internally. It is generally

360
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: an easy position to fill it internally, and it's a

361
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: big question for the team obviously if Garrett Cooper gets hurt,

362
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: and it's certainly a question beyond this season because Cooper

363
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: is going to be a free agent. Maybe they do

364
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: get that amazing bounce back from Guryel as a thirty

365
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: eight year old soon to be thirty nine year old,

366
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: but like there's a reason why he had to sell

367
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: for a minor league deal. I'll just end it with that.

368
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Fishtrikesmever is not new, but they're they're new to

369
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 3: the show because they weren't in here at the beginning.

370
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 3: We got Alex Carver, We've got Kevin Eli and I

371
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 3: have been.

372
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 2: Discussing the top of the FA can. We had this

373
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 2: conversation amongst ourselves yesterday. But we'll give it to the people.

374
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: Whoever wants to go first. Who is your one DFA

375
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 2: candidate this year that you'll be keeping an eye on

376
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: the possibly get the boot at some point during this

377
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two.

378
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 4: I guess I can go my sorry, Kevin, mine would

379
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 4: be I'll say Johnny Quato.

380
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 3: I mean, this is this guy.

381
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 4: I know they just signed him as a two and.

382
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 3: A half million dollar guy, thirty seven year old player.

383
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 4: They have pictures that are going to get called up

384
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 4: at some point to young pictures that are going to

385
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 4: contribute to the team.

386
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 3: You can look at Yuri Perez.

387
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 4: I know Kay Heater apparently is now injured again with

388
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 4: a foot injury, apparently because he's in a walking boot

389
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 4: per Christina today, but maybe him at some point you

390
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 4: could look at some deeper down guys as well. Haven't

391
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 4: really impressed with what I saw from Johnny Queto in

392
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 4: the in the preseason and spring training. So I mean

393
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 4: this signing was I guess, okay, to shore up the

394
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 4: back end of the rotation, but it's a thirty seven

395
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 4: year old player, and they're gonna have guys that are

396
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 4: that are coming up to you know, be ready to

397
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 4: contribute at the major league level.

398
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: So Johnny Quoto will be my top guy to to

399
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 3: get defat. Not a bad pick.

400
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: I personally don't think Johnnyquato is going to beyond the

401
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 2: roster in August. Uri Perez, I think he'll My personal

402
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: prediction is he'll be up by Memorial Day. Knowing coming

403
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: into this, knowing John e Quato's deal, He's probably not

404
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 2: gonna stick around too long. He's just a back end

405
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 2: guy and uh someone they give is tomorrow and some

406
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: room in case the starter does get injured, so that

407
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 2: we are not reaching deep in the triple A to.

408
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 3: Go get another starter. Yeah.

409
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: Uh, and that allowed them to get that the Pablo

410
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: deal done, which worked so far, worked out just from

411
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 2: the early returns in World Baseball Classic stuff like.

412
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 3: That may be a win win trade. But we'll go

413
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 3: to Kenvin. So far we've got Jilli Gariel, Johnny Quato.

414
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 5: I'll get my pick after Kevin's How much just Quato

415
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 5: making I think eight point five million?

416
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the total value of the contract. I think

417
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: the salary this year was six either six or six

418
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: point five and then there's the option for twenty twenty four.

419
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 3: That's right right. They're not going to eat up a

420
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 3: contract like that. Miami is not known to do that.

421
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 3: They will try to trade him. Yeah, I mean it.

422
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 2: And a half here, But yeah, Alex is all this.

423
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: I don't think Johnny Quada is gonna be on the

424
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 2: roster for the entire year. I don't know, FA, but

425
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: I don't think Johnny Quato is gonna be a Miami

426
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 2: Ma Harling come July thirty first or whatever the deadline

427
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 2: is this year.

428
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 3: They're moving it all of a sudden for some Reasonically,

429
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: if he's in effective, if he's ineffective. Who are you

430
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 3: moving in too? Who's gonna want him? That would be

431
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 3: my question. Like him out in post to five e

432
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 3: r A, who you gonna trade him to?

433
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 5: Like this, that's gonna there's gonna be a team that's

434
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 5: gonna take him and they'll make him look great.

435
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: All right, Well that's but I think during the off

436
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 2: season you can have a homecoming there.

437
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 3: Or candidate, and this one's gonna be maybe. I don't

438
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 3: know how many people are gonna get shocked by it.

439
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 5: This one was one that Isaac mentioned on Fish Ups

440
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 5: and Filter that I'm gonna say here, I'm gonna go

441
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 5: with Jacob Solins.

442
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 3: This is someone who has been completely ineffective.

443
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 5: Offensively. He was horrible last year both not horrible defensively,

444
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 5: but he was not good. But I wouldn't say horrid.

445
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 5: I mean he made Sanuel contrast Cy young winner. He's

446
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 5: part of that at least. But offensively, this guy sucked.

447
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 5: I mean, there's no other way to say it. And

448
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 5: they have some guys in the farm system that are

449
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 5: pretty good. Will Banfield is a great defensive catcher and

450
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 5: he's been catching Uri and Dak. So if you're looking

451
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 5: to the future, maybe we'll see that one.

452
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 3: So we'll see. I think Stallings is a name, very

453
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 3: cheap contract. You already got dfaded once by the pirates

454
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago. So this is a guy

455
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: who I could see.

456
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 5: I just really don't know who else. I guess if

457
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 5: Julie Grill sucks, he could be the pick.

458
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: But that's also a very strong handed I would say

459
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 2: Guryl was in my top three for sure.

460
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really only between those two guys who I

461
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 3: see it. Besides that, I don't know. I don't know.

462
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 4: Will Banfield would have to do a lot with the

463
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 4: bat to be the guy to replace him.

464
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but that that's true.

465
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 4: Has Yeah, if I would look at McIntosh, I would

466
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 4: McIntosh over Banfield in that sense.

467
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 3: But I think the next new catcher the Marns will

468
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 3: have will.

469
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 2: Probably be Paul McIntosh. But I don't know if that

470
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 2: happens this year. I think Songs probably makes the end

471
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: of the year and then maybe the marriage ends after

472
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: that if he can't get back to his his Pittsburgh ways.

473
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: But he played really well in like July of August

474
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 2: last year. There there were moments where he did play well.

475
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 5: I believe May was one of those where he played

476
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,239
Speaker 5: well because I remember when I did the thing May

477
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 5: he had like.

478
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 2: A Nisa stretch. Juni was terrible. First half of July

479
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: was bad. Then they went to Pittsburgh right after the

480
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 2: All Star break. He ended up hitting the ball really well.

481
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: I think that in those Pittsburgh and Cincinnati series right

482
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 2: after the All Star break, he was like he was

483
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 2: literally the best hitter on the team.

484
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 4: Hit one of the first home runs of last season,

485
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 4: and we were all like super hyped.

486
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 3: And then he hit the very first home run of

487
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 3: last year.

488
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: I think you score the first run for the Marrows

489
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 2: last year. And that opener against San Francisco.

490
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 3: I remember I was I remember where I was at

491
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 3: when he hit that was like, wow, we already want

492
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 3: to falling home that the Jazz won that game too.

493
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 3: That that first series, that first road trip was was

494
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 3: a roller coaster of emotions.

495
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: They left that road trip one and five, I think,

496
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 2: or something like that one and four maybe, yeah, but

497
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: they were in every single game and it's so fun

498
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 2: to see that, to see.

499
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 4: That bias like let's be like, watched third game of

500
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 4: the season, yually Guri all comes out and hits like

501
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 4: the first home run of the season, and then Kim

502
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 4: is gonna be a genius? What like it's this is

503
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 4: a recency bias is so like it was the same

504
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 4: thing with Sallings, so it's gonna be It's probably gonna

505
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 4: be the same.

506
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: Way like he hits his first Rome reactions just take

507
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 2: over every single year. They're they're always crazy.

508
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 3: And then twenty twenty one, everyone wanted Bass gone for

509
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 3: that blown up save against Campa Bay.

510
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: Granted, he didn't really have a good year that year,

511
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: but he also netted the Marlins Jordan Grossens, who is

512
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 2: gonna be a very big key piece in the future.

513
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: At some point.

514
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: I'll give my pick here. He's not he probably won't

515
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 2: make the major league roster, but he's someone that I

516
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 2: think shouldn't really be and talks to be anywhere near

517
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 2: the forty man rosters. Tommy Nance, he gets the fade

518
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 2: at some point.

519
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 3: That's my guy. I'm picking.

520
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: He's just he's not good. There's so many younger, better

521
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 2: bullpen options. I really hope Andrew Gardy makes the team

522
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,719
Speaker 2: over him, or well, you know, he's injured right now,

523
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 2: right Dance is injured right now. Even when he comes

524
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 2: back from injury. I don't see him staying that long.

525
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 2: He was pretty bad last year, and if he gets

526
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 2: another shot at the bullpen, I don't think.

527
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 3: He's gonna last all that long.

528
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, I would much rather see someone like Nardis

529
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 2: someone like e didn't if they want to, maybe experiment

530
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: with Brian Hunging in that in that role, I don'tkay.

531
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 2: There's younger, better, more viable options in the Marlins organization.

532
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: I'll give Alex Harmer the roundable plaus Here is some

533
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 2: of some of those minor league bullpen guys I think

534
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: could really be big players for the Marlins.

535
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 3: In the future.

536
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: We've been saying that for a while, and a lot

537
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: of the spaces and shows that we've done that, a

538
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: lot of the Marlins answers for the bullpen are in

539
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: the organization, and they made some sneaky good moves throughout

540
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 2: the off season the bolster the bull and I'm really

541
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: excited Forrey J.

542
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 3: Puck. I think he's gonna be good.

543
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: And Matt Barnes could also have a rebound season two.

544
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: Although I think maybe Isaac said that that was his

545
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 2: the FA candidate. Someone said maybe Matt Barnes. I think

546
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 2: he's gonna have a good season.

547
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 3: He looked like he looked like in spring training Matt Barnes.

548
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, these minor league guys are are gonna, are gonna,

549
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 4: are gonna be okay, like I have the.

550
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: Cassano today, Like I know he gave up two runs.

551
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he faced that the Mets a lineup five

552
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 4: five pretty effective innings, you know, like many more strikeouts

553
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 4: than watch in his limited showing in preseason. That that

554
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 4: guy's gonna contribute at some point. How he's gonna contribute

555
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 4: at some point. Nardi's gonna probably make the team after

556
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 4: spring training.

557
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 6: Rosmon is gonna be there, Simps and the Lobos, like,

558
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 6: these guys are gonna be there, like these guys intends

559
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 6: to Cole last year, Simpson b a Lobos. They're they're,

560
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 6: they're gonna You're gonna see these guys at some point

561
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 6: they're gonna need innings and they're gonna go.

562
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 3: This is the guy who are gonna go to.

563
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 4: In the bullpen, especially if guys like Barnes and maybe

564
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 4: Shargois who's been injured and I get like a stiff

565
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 4: neck or something like that, and he hasn't been that

566
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 4: fantastic either. So you know, there's there's question marks around

567
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 4: these newcomers, but these minor leagu guys are still solid.

568
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 4: So these guys are gonna contribute at some point.

569
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 3: Just a matter of when I think, yeah, I couldn't

570
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 3: agree more and.

571
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: Not go ahead.

572
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 3: Heavn my bad, No, you're good.

573
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 5: I was just just to kind of like fortify the

574
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 5: point with with Stallings last year, the only two pictures

575
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 5: he caught were Sandy and Pablo.

576
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: The rest of all Nick Fortas.

577
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 5: So you know, not not just because Nick Forts came

578
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 5: up with a lot of these young guys, maybe besides Lozardo,

579
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 5: but you kind of start to realize that Fortas is

580
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 5: really the only taken over and he he had some

581
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 5: really nice outings, you know, during during the season that

582
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 5: then Castano game was Philly caught him very.

583
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: Caught Guistano very well.

584
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 5: And you know, there's some other guys that I think

585
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 5: in the system itself that have improved a lot of Defensively,

586
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 5: he back looks a lot better defensively.

587
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 3: Well.

588
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 5: Will Banfield is one of the better ones defensively. Saw

589
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 5: I mean, it's just a matter of time of you know,

590
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 5: if stalling skills get.

591
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 3: The I think they have guys that could possibly help

592
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 3: out on both ends.

593
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't agree, Mare, I think you're too Marls

594
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 2: Catchers opening day twenty twenty four hour looking ahead here,

597
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:06,520

00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,200

626
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 3: Every This is just so long that I'm starting to

627
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: forget at this point.

628
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: Before every single game we've been doing in spring training

629
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,080

Speaker 2: I've got baseball fever man, I'm ready. March Man has

672
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: hurt me. I'm ready to bring it back.

673
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: You got any questions for us, any thoughts into the season.

674
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 7: Uh, I was gonna say, I don't think Jazz is

675
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 7: making one hundred and fifty five games this year. And

676
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 7: do you how serious do you think that this injury is?

677
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 7: I know he's hurt, right, He's finished like two games

678
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 7: because of muscle cramps and.

679
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 3: His right arm. He should be Yeah, that's correct. He

680
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 3: did this back to back games. But they're saying it's precautionary. Yeah.

681
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 7: Good, sure, Yeah, do you want to know someone who

682
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 7: I think is gonna get the I was just gonna answer, yeah,

683
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 7: can go ahead and go ahead. I think, in my opinion,

684
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 7: I think they call up who's a Glaciers for some

685
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 7: for like a like if Wendell gets a knock and

686
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 7: he gets the athlete as well, that's that's one that's.

687
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 3: Gonna be happy that. I know you're a bigger glacious guy.

688
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: Why why, I don't know he even preaching it since

689
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: the severer we all told you to shut up and

690
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 2: then they ended up signing the last bot.

691
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 3: I cannot prefer that, not in the capacity. I thought

692
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 3: they was minor league deal. But he'll be playing for

693
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 3: the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp presumably. I don't know. I don't know.

694
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 5: I mean there's not many lefties in the lineup, only

695
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 5: have well you only have one two four right now.

696
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 3: Rise Chisholm and Sanchez and Wendell. You need that lefty balance.

697
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 3: I don't know if the place is a lefting. He's

698
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 3: a righty. Uh you know, Wendell. Oh No, the Glaciers

699
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 3: doesn't contact hitting bro. I mean the guy hit it's

700
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 3: a perfect This is why I don't know. If we've

701
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 3: spoken about this before I joined.

702
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 5: But this is why I kind of wanted the Glaciers

703
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 5: on the roster over Juli, because the platoon with Wendell

704
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 5: and and any Glaciers would be perfect when you look

705
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 5: at what you got Verdie in there too. Yeah, but

706
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 5: you could play him everywhere though, That's the thing. I'd

707
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 5: rather have Birdie play everywhere, and then you have a

708
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 5: platoon between the Glaces and Wendell, which and you know,

709
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 5: I guess the goals.

710
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 2: Should also be for these utility guys. These two guys

711
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 2: are not have to play that much tomorrow. Joey Weddle

712
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,959
Speaker 2: and he played like, I think, maybe one hundred games

713
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 2: for the Rays that year before they got him, and

714
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 2: Joey Wendall got over worked last year he got hurt.

715
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 3: And John Birdie got on the team last year and

716
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 3: started making it starts, he got hurt.

717
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 2: A lot of these guys aren't built to sustain one

718
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 2: hundred and forty hundred and fifty games. So the hope

719
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: is for these guys and not have to do it.

720
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 2: But now presumably every other day or every day, you're.

721
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 3: Gonna have either one of Wendell or Jean Birdie is

722
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 3: a starting shortstop. That's not what you want. The reason

723
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 3: that hard Wendell was to be your.

724
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 5: Super utility, not to start every day shortstop, especially short stop,

725
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 5: where that's not I wouldn't say that's his many positions.

726
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 3: It's been positions third base. But he's a utilities so

727
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 3: you can put up in the nfields out of the position.

728
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 3: I I've been saying this for months now.

729
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: You've got a DH playing first base, first basement playing

730
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 2: second base. You've got a second basement playing center field.

731
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 3: I know that's on the end field. I still want

732
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 3: to say it.

733
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 2: You've got two any man playing shortstop, aging second basement,

734
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 2: playing third base of position he's not all that familiar

735
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 2: with Yeah, guys everywhere, And you know, I will see

736
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: how long that experiment lasts. But I also I guess

737
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: I'll give another prediction at some play. I think Jacob

738
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 2: and Maya will be every.

739
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 3: Day shortstop by the end of the season.

740
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I know, I hate to side with Isaac on

741
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 2: this one, but I actually did watch the A Maya

742
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: Hate like maybe a couple of nights ago because I

743
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 2: was really bored, and from his time with the Dodgers

744
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 2: Triple A team he's good. I like this guy, and

745
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 2: I didn't really watch a lot of spring training because

746
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: not a lot of the games were televised.

747
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 3: I had other stuff going on the top point. The

748
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 3: point is Jacob Maya is a good baseball player, and injuries.

749
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 2: Are going to happen. They happen to Marlins every year.

750
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 2: They happened to every team every year. I think Jacob

751
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: wyt get some significant playing time at some point and

752
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: earns himself spot.

753
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 3: Grocians could too. I mean Groans played really well when

754
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 3: he got called up last year.

755
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 2: I think the Marlins have a good depth problem, but

756
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 2: they have a bad problem where they don't really have

757
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 2: like a guy right now.

758
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 3: And any of the positions in the enfield who's before

759
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 3: I'm sorry for someone who's playing left field. Can it

760
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 3: be DC? It's going to be a split between Sanchez

761
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 3: and el sees what.

762
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: We are well. Solaire is going to be spending quite

763
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: a bit of time there, and we've seen in the

764
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: spring quietly Avid Garcia has been almost fifty to fifty

765
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: between left field starts and right field starts. That's been

766
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: a bit of a strange one for me because I

767
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: thought he was decent in right field last year, and

768
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: so uh, that has surprised me to see him there,

769
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: just because he hasn't played left in a meaningful game

770
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: in many years. He's been pretty exclusively right field. He's

771
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 1: played more center field than left fields in recent years

772
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: before the Marlins acquired him, so that's been a little strange.

773
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: What this spring has suggested, though, is that Solaire is

774
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: going to play more outfield than originally anticipated. I think

775
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: Alta slotted him in as the main DH this year,

776
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: especially this move to put Guriel on the team. That

777
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: makes it pretty clear that they're kind of on Solair

778
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: to play defense. Gurriel is, I mean, he's an old man.

779
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: Even if things go perfectly for him, he's going to

780
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: be dhing a lot of the time just to save

781
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: his the wear and tear on him at age thirty

782
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: eight going into thirty nine. I think that reflects how

783
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: they feel about so Lair as a defender as well.

784
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: So it's going to be a weird situation. I talked

785
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: at the top of the show about del la Cruz,

786
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: like that's a place where he could get playing time

787
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: as the season goes on, if depending on how these

788
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: things shuffle around, But that is definitely the least defined

789
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: position at the moment, left field, because it could I

790
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: don't I don't know exactly how they're gonna decide who

791
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: starts there on what days.

792
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 3: It's gonna be like a four way at this one

793
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 3: or three or four.

794
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 8: You no clue?

795
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, I mean I thought that we would

796
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 3: see more Claire at d H.

797
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 9: That that was so that was caught up.

798
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 3: But I mean, good to here you can see four a.

799
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 4: D you can see her at d H, maybe Sanchez

800
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 4: or either or wishful if you'll have obviously.

801
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 3: Layer Julian Coop mainly and then forgot means an off day,

802
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 3: you know, you just throw one of them there. You know.

803
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 3: It's worse thing.

804
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 2: They have a lot of guys that can play in

805
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 2: many different spots, but no one that really excels at

806
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 2: one spot, which I think it's going to be more

807
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 2: of a curse.

808
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 3: And a blessing for them this season. Yeah. One more thing,

809
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 3: I know, I can't say one more thing, but Stallings

810
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 3: last year day it was.

811
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 2: I think his first start of the year was Stallings

812
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 2: and stall and Lozardo.

813
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 3: Got hurt and then when he came back, I think

814
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 3: it was four test oh, you can correct me if

815
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 3: I'm wrong, But had a lot of guys early.

816
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 5: On in this season. That that's for sure, I believe.

817
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 5: I know Stallings basically caught the whole rotation once. Now

818
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 5: did they did he catch him after?

819
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 3: That is the question.

820
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 2: Let's I think he caught almost everyone for the first

821
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 2: month Denny started the sock okay and.

822
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 5: More playing time fourt has caught him eight times, Stalling

823
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 5: seven and Payton Henry caught him three times.

824
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,760
Speaker 3: We did have a Payton Henry face last year. Then

825
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 3: in the Marlins. It feels like a lifetime ago at

826
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 3: this point, did.

827
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: You know at this time one year ago, Alex Jackson

828
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: was still in the organization. It's still at Alex Jackson

829
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: on their roster less than a year ago.

830
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 3: Like a couple of days he he got he got

831
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 3: traded Milwaukee, right, yes, yea for for haveing care control.

832
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, feels like a lifetime ago at

833
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 2: this point. So much has happened since then. Yeah, geez, yeah,

834
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 2: I mean it's nice in tomorrow's have two set guys

835
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 2: now songs of fourth Test. There's just so much back

836
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 2: and forth, so much Certay Catcher and yeah, I mean

837
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 2: it's it's still not great, but it's nice knowing you

838
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 2: have a good number two guy. With the fourth test,

839
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 2: I think it's just finding a number one guy. Now's

840
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 2: there is a thing yet, Henry. It was played major

841
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 2: League baseball games for the Marls last year. That's crazy, like.

842
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 3: Twenty five or something like that. And his first show

843
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 3: was an RBI to walk it off to No. No,

844
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 3: his only RBI was a sacrifly and like random game.

845
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 3: He won't like a hit or two. He did not

846
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 3: play well at all. Oh, there's only one catcher had

847
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 3: to walk off for the Morrows last year. That was

848
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 3: Nick Portes and that Peacock game against the Mets. Yeah,

849
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 3: I think it was another anyone else, Sean, I take

850
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 3: take a look at it. Sean's in the area.

851
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,399

Speaker 2: cautious now for who joins, because and it's to happen.

857
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 3: I think about a month ago.

858
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 2: Not not funny, didn't laugh, but yeah, I look at

859
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 2: your profile and I can tell you your barb scan.

860
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 3: We'll let you speak, of course, just that that incident

861
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 3: was not funny. You know that was kind of funny.

862
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 3: That was pretty funny. It was kind of funny.

863
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 2: Anyone who has questions, Yoe ahead, I'm I'm excited that

864
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:14,799

00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:24,560

869
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 7: All right, if you're a super follower, you get to

871
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 3: Kidding, I didn't me.

872
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out on a limb. I think Sharif

873
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: is legit. He follows us, he hosts his own spaces.

874
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna apologize.

875
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 3: I apologize.

876
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna take it. I'm gonna go out on

877
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: the limb and say he's not trolling us and that

878
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: he actually thinks.

879
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 3: I take a little trolling. I apologies. I didn't see

880
00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 3: that we had a request or is yours Sharik? Hey,

881
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 3: good evening? Can everyone hear me? Yes? Yes, great man.

882
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 3: I was waiting for this.

883
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 8: I saw it in the YouTube notification and I this

884
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 8: is my first time ever calling into a Marlin Show.

885
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 8: I've been to Marlins fans from ninety two, ninety three,

886
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 8: ninety seven. Oh man, I love First of all, I

887
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,879
Speaker 8: want to say, I love what miss Kim is doing.

888
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 8: I don't know what happened with Jeter, but I would

889
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 8: say she is proactive and she gets rid of the problem.

890
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 3: Faster.

891
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: Now.

892
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 8: I say that to say I wasn't dependent on Aesus

893
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 8: to do better. I've seen enough of him. Maybe maybe

894
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 8: guys still have some dependency in him. I think I've

895
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 8: seen enough of Cooper. But Cooper has an eye at

896
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 8: the plate that we need. But if if those two

897
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 8: guys are to break out, I don't know what we

898
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 8: would do, because you're not going to trade the youngsters,

899
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 8: but because heyes who has a great back opposite field.

900
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 8: As far as the offense, I think Kim has done

901
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 8: a fantastic job to balance the offense. I'm tired of

902
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 8: seeing the one one games for all pitchers, not just

903
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 8: Sandy Uh. Once again, from the prospects that we have coming,

904
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 8: I think we were once again, she sees the problem,

905
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 8: she fixes it, and we would have never known of Braxton,

906
00:45:54,840 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 8: Lozardo or the other young young man Cabrera, h and

907
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 8: It doesn't really matter if six still comes back because

908
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 8: we have.

909
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 3: Some great talent. I don't know what happened with JJ Bleda, but.

910
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 8: I was hoping for him to crack our roster this year.

911
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 8: I know we traded the other guy who we got

912
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 8: in the first round, but any thoughts on who can

913
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 8: be a boat coming up three months in from from

914
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 8: Double A or.

915
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: Triple A, I'll start at the end the bat that

916
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: I still have hope for that we saw last year

917
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: who didn't impress. His first opportunity was Peyden Verdict. He

918
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: was looking good in spring until he had this toe injury,

919
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: and now he's put that behind him. So he's going

920
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: into the Triple A season fully healthy. And even though

921
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: it seems like they have now a lot of these

922
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: outfielder outfielder types that already battling for limited time, like

923
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to give up on him. I think

924
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: he has a really interesting combination of power and play,

925
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: discipline and the ability to even play center field in

926
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: emergencies by the middle of the season. I think even

927
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: at this point, like Burdick doesn't have anything to develop

928
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: at this point, Like I think he's basically at this

929
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: stage where it's sink or swim that as soon as

930
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: there's going to be a spot open on the roster

931
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: for him, that it'd be good to just see what

932
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 1: he's got. And he's kind of what he is ultimately

933
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 1: going to be at this point, nothing left to learn

934
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: in the minds.

935
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 3: Young What about the young man in Karnacion.

936
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 8: Had he had a stint where for a month he

937
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 8: was like the hardest thing right, and then all of

938
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 8: a sudden he struck out a lot.

939
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 3: What do you think about him?

940
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: I mean, with him, there was just one particular issue

941
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,360
Speaker 1: that's a red flag, and it's how much he swings

942
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: and misses at fastballs just major league caliber velocity. As

943
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: soon as he got called up, the strikeout rate exploded,

944
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: and that's one thing that you just can't simulate at

945
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: lower levels of baseball. It's such a big jump, even

946
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: from Triple A to the majors. Catching up to that,

947
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: even if he can adjust the different types of pitches,

948
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if the numbers in the miners really

949
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: give me much faith in him moving forward. And they

950
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: tried that interesting experiment these off and on the last

951
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: couple of years, having him played first base, even though

952
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: he used to be an outfielder, to have him be

953
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: versatile in that aspect, and it hasn't really clicked for

954
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: him defensively either, So there's so much pressure on him

955
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: on his bat to carry him and make him a

956
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: useful player. He's just he's not as well rounded even

957
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: as somebody like Burdick is. So I wouldn't be shocked

958
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:45,280
Speaker 1: if he turns into something. But even during the spring

959
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 1: he looked to me like the same player that he

960
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: was last year. It's a crucial year for him too,

961
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: so if he performs amazingly in Triple A, he's going

962
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: to get another opportunity. I personally would have Verdick ahead

963
00:48:58,400 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: of Ancarnacion, though.

964
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 8: Right I'm one more because I know some other people

965
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 8: want to come up. I like the catcher who's backing up.

966
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,919
Speaker 8: I like his opposite field hitting.

967
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 3: I think he has a great eye. I won't be now.

968
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 3: The thing is Stallings.

969
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 8: He would like him to carry the five Minds starting

970
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 8: rotation at least one and ten games with all of them, right,

971
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 8: because Stallings is it's just a great play caller, but

972
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 8: he can't hit. But front his name is Fontes for

973
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 8: I really, I don't think he's going to get this starting.

974
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 8: But when he plays, he's gonna have enough. I think

975
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:51,720
Speaker 8: he's gonna hit three hundred and one more thing Jazz,

976
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 8: first of all, I'm I'm a Bahamian and myself so

977
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 8: but I see his.

978
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this right now.

979
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 8: If while we lose, if we lose, everything is going

980
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 8: to depend on his attitude. I think if he has

981
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 8: a graceful attitude and he he doesn't, he doesn't, I

982
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 8: think he's not a veteran, so I think he will

983
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 8: ask more questions and become a youngster.

984
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 3: I think if he does that, people will follow suit and.

985
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,439
Speaker 8: Ask more questions to the veterans. I think Skip will

986
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 8: Skip is a youngster. Skip will be able to translate.

987
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 3: That with him. But if that does not happen, guys,

988
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 3: this can go real bad.

989
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 8: We've had some hidden complaints about Jazz and his you

990
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:49,919
Speaker 8: know outbursting with the plate empire and taking that into

991
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 8: the locker room and taking that into moving onto you know,

992
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,919
Speaker 8: road trips and sort of thing. But you know, he's

993
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 8: such a talent. But I will say everything depends on

994
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 8: his attitude for one hundred and sixty two games.

995
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 3: But thank you, guys, You guys are doing a great

996
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 3: job and take care you too.

997
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to acknowledge that about Jazz is for

998
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: whatever reason, whether it's his faults or not. There was

999
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: just some friction between him and the veterans last year,

1000
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: occasionally him and Don Mattingly last year, and those are

1001
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: things that just take away from the talent of the team.

1002
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 1: But you know, so far, so good with him with

1003
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: both Skip and with John Jay and other members of

1004
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: the new coaching staff. So that is, yeah, that is

1005
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: going to be important for a guy that I mean.

1006
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: Obviously the performance has helped raise his profile, but even

1007
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 1: things like the MLB of the show cover all that

1008
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,879
Speaker 1: does is feed into your ego and what you think

1009
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: you can do and how important you think you are.

1010
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: And it's when you're a young player and you have

1011
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: that individual success and the team around you isn't performing

1012
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:02,240
Speaker 1: at the same level. It is a really complicated psychological

1013
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: state to be in. So he's as talented as he is.

1014
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: That is a big question this year is how exactly

1015
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,800
Speaker 1: if he's mature enough and if he is selflessness selfless,

1016
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: selfless enough to to like bring the team up with

1017
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 1: him and be as good a teammate as he possibly can.

1018
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't agree more. We got Sean in here,

1019
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,240
Speaker 2: super follower. Sean he played.

1020
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,399
Speaker 3: Fantasy football with this last year. That's another great part.

1021
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 2: Believe he's in the baseball league that we're doing for

1022
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 2: super followers.

1023
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:37,760
Speaker 3: I'm not in charge of some him. I really never's

1024
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 3: in it. That's how are we doing a nice Sean good?

1025
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 10: That was Yeah, fun drafting with you guys. Yeah to

1026
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 10: night during my last baseball draft. Now, but you mentioned

1027
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 10: me by name, so I figured I gotta jump in

1028
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 10: here are regular and indies at this point.

1029
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 2: I love it. Oh, happy to do it to just

1030
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:58,760
Speaker 2: a few quick things.

1031
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 3: One, yeah, I mean anyone's listening to this.

1032
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 10: And on defense about subscribing, I mean three dollars, it's

1033
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 10: just one big freaking bargain. So you've really got to

1034
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 10: go ahead and support these guys. And it was also

1035
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 10: a great meeting all of you that I did at

1036
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 10: spring training, went up there. I was able to meet

1037
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:18,359
Speaker 10: a bunch of on the regulars here on Marlins Twitter,

1038
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 10: so that was a lot of fun. This spring went

1039
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 10: to one of our seven wins, So I guess I

1040
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 10: guess I'm somewhat lucky even living out here in Texas.

1041
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 10: But my actual question would be, since I'm actually doing

1042
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 10: a fantasy draft, I'll just I'll get some I'll look

1043
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 10: for some Edward Cabrera predictions for the season from you guys,

1044
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 10: and possibly, if you want to be really specific, where

1045
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 10: you draft him in a deep head to head categories draft.

1046
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 10: But I'm more just for everyone else's benefit. How you

1047
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 10: what kind of year you're expecting from Cabrera. Well, for

1048
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,800
Speaker 10: the fantasy part, I have believe that Eli and Alex corversase.

1049
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,839
Speaker 10: I've only known one Fantasy Baseball league ever. We're doing

1050
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 10: our staff on Tomorrow night. I've only known one ever.

1051
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 3: It was during the sixty game season because it's a

1052
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 3: lot to keep up with.

1053
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 2: But I had to do the staff one because it's

1054
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 2: the voice of course. But ever Cabrera, I think he's

1055
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 2: gonna have a breakout season. We've been saying that for

1056
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 2: a while, and then he'll have like a little nagging setback.

1057
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 2: But I think all four or five guys are gonna

1058
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 2: have like a really good season. Sandy may regrets just

1059
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 2: a little bit, just because what he did last year

1060
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 2: was unprecedented. If he tops that, you're talking about the

1061
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 2: best picture in the world. Status if he's not already there,

1062
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 2: lozarda is gonna have a really good year. I think

1063
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 2: Trevor Rodgers is gonna have the best year of his

1064
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 2: career ever. Cabrera, if he stays healthy, this will be

1065
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 2: the best season of.

1066
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 3: His career in terms of fantasy production.

1067
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 2: Again, I can't really help you with that one because

1068
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 2: I don't I don't even know enough about it. I

1069
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 2: might be screwed tomorrow for our draft. But he's gonna

1070
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 2: have a really good season. I'm pumped for him.

1071
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 7: I'm not much into the fantasy league, but I know

1072
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 7: you always do this turn at least get one through

1073
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 7: four day starters. At least at least try and mix

1074
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 7: them in with your bullpen guys. And he might be

1075
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 7: a sneaky little fourth fourth day starter, him and Lizardo.

1076
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 7: But I thought Lozardo would be the third man in

1077
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 7: the rotation, but he's second. So now I'm rethinking my

1078
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 7: draft pick at that point.

1079
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 2: I guess that's that's not really a huge difference, though,

1080
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 2: too three and it was like two or four five,

1081
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 2: Maybe that would be an attle different for you. Well, again,

1082
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,880
Speaker 2: I don't know how it is, so maybe I'm entirely

1083
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 2: wrong right now.

1084
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: Well, I have to admit that I am. I'm a

1085
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: little unsure exactly what to think of Carberra. I have

1086
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 1: a pod coming out tomorrow on our podcast feed right

1087
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,720
Speaker 1: after this one, going through my X factors of the season,

1088
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 1: and he's to me an X factor of this team.

1089
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: What I mean by that is he's all he is

1090
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 1: one of these volatile players who I guess on the

1091
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: down side, he could get hurt. That's most obviously for

1092
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: somebody that has already had a biceps nerve issue, who

1093
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: has had blister issues, who has most recently was elbow tendonitis,

1094
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: and you fear that maybe there's finally a significant injury

1095
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,959
Speaker 1: that could pop up at some point and really limit

1096
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: how often he's on the field. And then the other

1097
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: thing is goes down to his fastball and his overall control.

1098
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 1: This is a guy that occasionally dominates in his outings,

1099
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: even the spring gets had a dominant outing recently, But overall,

1100
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: there's just way too many free passes and there's too

1101
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 1: much inefficiency, too many falling behind him. Counts because he

1102
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: doesn't like to throw his fastball for whatever well not

1103
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,479
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, for a pretty clear reason. He doesn't

1104
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,439
Speaker 1: throw his fastball because he doesn't really know where it's going,

1105
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: and it limits his options in terms of getting a

1106
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: heading counts and getting back into counseling falls behind, which

1107
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,359
Speaker 1: is why I don't think it's a lock for him

1108
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: to improve on what he did last year. And he

1109
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: could just from what I've seen though, So you know,

1110
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: it looks like the same guy in spring training, and

1111
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good with that, but there's going

1112
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 1: to be those limitations where he's just not putting the

1113
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,720
Speaker 1: ball in the right spots where I think we fairly

1114
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: have pointed out that he's not in pristine physical shape

1115
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 1: right now. He is a little heavier than you'd like

1116
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 1: him to be, pitching at a weight that's heavier than

1117
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: he has been in the past, and I always worried

1118
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: about that when comes to pitchers and being potentially off

1119
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 1: mechanically when it is that you're not in the shape

1120
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: that you're accustomed to being in and how that affects

1121
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: the rest of your delivery.

1122
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1123
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, still being a pretty obvious example of it. He's

1124
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: just a really volatile player. So I think he's definitely

1125
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: draftable in most fantasy formats this year. For one, because

1126
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 1: even with all the starting pitching depth that the Marlins have,

1127
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: I think there's a very good chance that he is

1128
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: in the rotation throughout the year, health permitting. I don't

1129
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: think they're going to with the exception of Yuri, They're

1130
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: not really going to have anybody leapfrog him in the

1131
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: rotation until potentially very late in the year. If it's

1132
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: like a Trevor Rodgers situation and he's struggling for a

1133
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: big portion of the year. He's a complicated player. So

1134
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: I think that's just my thought on it. I feel

1135
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: like the more popular opinion is that he is a

1136
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 1: breakout candidate, and he could be a breakout candidate. I

1137
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 1: just think he is a very risky player, even this year.

1138
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: I think he could go in a bunch of different

1139
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 1: directions with him. Health is such an imprecise thing to approximate.

1140
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: For me, the bigger thing is going to be the control,

1141
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 1: and it's going to be getting in favorable counts for

1142
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: him to use his really deep pitch mix. That's what

1143
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: draws me in more than anything, is that the variety

1144
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: of different secondary pitches that he can use. It's the

1145
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: key is going to be that fastball being a bigger

1146
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: part of his mix and getting him in those favorable counts,

1147
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: and once he does, then he's somebody that has a

1148
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: lot of strikeout potential and that times can work really

1149
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: deep into games as well. I don't have a great

1150
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: feel on him, honestly, so I'm probably a little bit

1151
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: lower than him on than the general industry is just

1152
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: because I see a lot of downside potentially.

1153
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 2: It's all good points, but if you're really looking for

1154
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 2: this open ended to anyone, if you're looking for a

1155
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 2: middle rotation Marlins the guy that you really want or

1156
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 2: back end guy, I guess he will be back. And

1157
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 2: if you were listening to the top of the show,

1158
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 2: Trevor Rodgers, I like ridiculously high on him. I think

1159
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 2: he's my number one breakout candidate this year. I think

1160
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 2: we see his best season yet. A lot of the

1161
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 2: people I've talked to and some of our own guys

1162
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 2: and said, he just looks like a different player this

1163
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 2: year looks a lot more like twenty twenty one self.

1164
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 3: It's like exuding that confidence that he had.

1165
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 2: And I talked to him the day after one of

1166
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 2: his worst starts last year, maybe his worst start when

1167
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 2: he got slack, and since Daddy and he just he's

1168
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 2: always got a good positive attitude regardless of what's happening.

1169
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 2: And I think he took a lot of time to

1170
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 2: himself the sauce. He's worked on some more technical things.

1171
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 2: And I've only watched like two games during spring training,

1172
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 2: and I think there were both Trevor.

1173
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 3: Appearances, and he looks really, really good. So I'm pumped

1174
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 3: for him. If you're looking for a.

1175
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 2: Guy to really bank on this year, if you're doing

1176
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 2: fantasy or whatever, daily fantasy sports, whatever.

1177
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 3: I'm really big on Trevor Rodgers this year for sure.

1178
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 2: I'm I've already said it, I'm big on Gee Rodgers

1179
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 2: this year.

1180
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 7: As no one has requested. I think she gets this

1181
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 7: part of the stream. What's that, mister Boble or the

1182
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 7: poky ball himself. I have not heard of him since

1183
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 7: I started the WBC.

1184
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 3: Did he gets shut down or sent the minor league camp?

1185
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 1: Who he's saying about six though, saying about six though,

1186
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: oh yeah, six.

1187
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 3: No. I haven't heard much from him and he's still

1188
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 3: working back. We got a lot of.

1189
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 2: Positive updates from him. At the beginning of the year,

1190
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 2: people were thinking he would be in the bullpen at

1191
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 2: some point this year. That's that's not at all true.

1192
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 3: You know, he could maybe make an appearance this year.

1193
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 3: But I'd say a big victory for six Sanchez this

1194
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 3: year would be to play in an organize the baseball

1195
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 3: game at any of the my league level.

1196
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if it's Jacksonville, Pensacola, Beloit, Jupiter, the

1197
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 2: sl whatever, it doesn't matter.

1198
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 3: If six can get into.

1199
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 2: An organized baseball game in the twenty twenty three calendar year,

1200
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 2: that's a victory. And to really answer your question, we

1201
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 2: haven't heard much. I don't know what he's thrown from,

1202
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 2: what is what, what his workout routine is right now,

1203
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 2: But I think a big victory for six Sanchez this

1204
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 2: year will be to play in a baseball game.

1205
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: Yeah right, let me stall for a second to see

1206
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: I find the sixth ZO update from today. Apparently there

1207
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: was like a half update from the team about him.

1208
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 1: Let's see what a lot of updates today? A six

1209
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 1: Let's see from Kim Ang. Yeah. Jordan McPherson of the

1210
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 1: Miami Herald quoted Kim Ang saying that he's still throwing

1211
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 1: bullpen sessions. So he threw his first one a month

1212
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: ago something like that, and there have been several of

1213
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 1: them since then. It was very notable because you could

1214
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: when we got the video, it was clear that he

1215
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 1: was not throwing at full intensity. These weren't real bullpen sessions.

1216
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: These were like throwing off a mound for the first

1217
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 1: time in a while and just getting familiar with it.

1218
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: But from Kim Ang today, her quote was just looking

1219
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 1: for him to get stronger and keep going with his

1220
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: progress so awfully vague. He's already been optioned to Triple

1221
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 1: A Jacksonville instead of they could have kept him with

1222
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 1: the big league team and placed them on the major

1223
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: league IL, but they did option him a couple of

1224
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 1: weeks ago, so all indications are that he'll begin the

1225
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 1: season on the minor league injured list for a period

1226
01:02:55,840 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: of time, still not facing live batters, and at least

1227
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: at the start of camp, their messaging was they still

1228
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: envisioned him as a starter the path, So going from

1229
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 1: bullpen sessions, it's actually starting full games. That's a month,

1230
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: maybe even a little bit more than that, until he's

1231
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 1: even pitching in Triple A games in best case scenario.

1232
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I'm just not counting on anything from

1233
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 1: him whatsoever. We've seen no evidence to this point that

1234
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 1: his stuff has come back. Even though his conditioning is

1235
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 1: better than ever, I just fear that's his shoulder is

1236
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: too far gone and that the stuff is not going

1237
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: to be the same on the other side of this rehab.

1238
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 1: If he ever gets to the other side of this rehab,

1239
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: he's in good spirits and he is throwing baseballs. That's

1240
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 1: That's kind of all we know. Yeah, don't count on

1241
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 1: anything from him for the first half of the season,

1242
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 1: for sure. I think then we can reevaluate things as

1243
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 1: we get towards the middle of the year, and hopefully

1244
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: by that point he's at least I don't know, maybe

1245
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 1: maybe he's pitching in Triple A games by the middle

1246
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: of the season. That is kind of my general theory

1247
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: where this is going.

1248
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 2: The best thing possible he is pitching a game for

1249
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 2: Jacksonville at any point this year. I think that would

1250
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 2: be as good as it gets for six though I'm

1251
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 2: entirely sold down on him pitching for the Miami Marril

1252
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 2: it's this year. I don't think it's gonna happen. I

1253
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 2: wouldn't expect him happen whatsoever. If he wears a Jacksonville

1254
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 2: Jumbo Shrimp uniform for anything other than picture.

1255
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 3: Day this year. I think that would be his biggest

1256
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 3: victory possible. It's a sad story. I still remember that.

1257
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 2: Postseason series, his postseason starting gets the Cubs like it

1258
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 2: was yesterday.

1259
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 3: His stuff was good. He had potential to be the

1260
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 3: best picture in the rotation at one point.

1261
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 2: It's it's sad to see his fall. This the guy

1262
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 2: I'm always gonna be rooting for. I have his jersey,

1263
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 2: have the forty five jersey. May Or made out a

1264
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 2: bit of financial mistake.

1265
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 3: We'll see, but I'm always gonna be rooting for him.

1266
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 3: But I just don't think he's gonna play for the

1267
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 3: Miami Marls this year.

1268
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have a request, I mean, chief, answer a

1269
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 2: few more questions here and we'll wrap it up. It's

1270
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 2: been one of our longer ones, probably our longest one

1271
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 2: since the Boodet news dropped in the middle of our shell.

1272
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 2: That was a fun day, all right. The Miami Sports

1273
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 2: Poster floor is yours, my man. Ask any questions that

1274
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 2: you may have, can you guys hear me?

1275
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 3: Yes, this is Steve.

1276
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 9: My question enlarges about the direction of the organization because

1277
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 9: I feel that, like from the outside, that's not really clear.

1278
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 9: I feel like a lot of the outfield prospects in

1279
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 9: recent years, like Brinson and the.

1280
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 3: Mason brothers and JJ Bdey who.

1281
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 9: Just went to the Athletics and stuff, have failed. Our

1282
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 9: free agent signings have been questionable with like Solaire and

1283
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 9: Garcia and Wendel and some veteran guys. And you know,

1284
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 9: the team is likely to win between sixty seven and

1285
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 9: eighty games this year, and I don't feel like we

1286
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 9: have a core foundation of players right now that really

1287
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 9: shows me any sort of direction of the organization.

1288
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 3: With the acceptance of of Sandy and I feel like

1289
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 3: Jazz thinks he's a starbuck, He's really not. Like he

1290
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 3: has a clear aitage of two.

1291
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:18,919
Speaker 9: Forty with twenty four home runs he got the show

1292
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 9: of that won't be the cover book.

1293
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 3: My question to you guys, because looking inside, is.

1294
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 9: What do you think is the direction the organization is

1295
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 9: trying to go in or does it seem as unclear

1296
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 9: as I'm talking about, because doesn't.

1297
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 2: Well, I understand why we think it may be unclear,

1298
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 2: but I think with the inside of the organization, I

1299
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 2: think they know exactly what they're doing, is what they're

1300
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 2: thinking I think that they.

1301
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 3: Are really trying to compete right now.

1302
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 2: Kim ag has one year left on our contract, is

1303
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 2: presumed that she will get an extension of some kind.

1304
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,440
Speaker 2: But at the same time, he is still playing for

1305
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 2: her job right now, and MLBGM.

1306
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 3: Jobs don't exactly come and go every single day, thirty

1307
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 3: of them in the world, so she kind of has

1308
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 3: to fight for her job this year. And that's why

1309
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 3: the Marlins are pretty aggressive this offseason have been for

1310
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 3: the last few offseasons.

1311
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 2: If they if their direction was to blow it up

1312
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 2: and sell, they would have made more trades to get

1313
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 2: prospects this past offseason. But I think it's pretty clear

1314
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 2: to the organization themselves if they want to compete. We

1315
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,840
Speaker 2: think that they're going to compete. As fans and journals,

1316
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 2: that's up to you what they may do this year,

1317
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 2: but you're right, the general consentus is they will probably win.

1318
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 3: Between sixty seven and eighty games this year.

1319
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 2: Because Alex Strush at the eighty two, the absolute ceiling

1320
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 2: is you maybe finish a couple of games above five

1321
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 2: hundred to fight for a playoff spot. Just with how

1322
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 2: good the National League is this year, I don't think

1323
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 2: they're gonna make the playoffs even if they do somehow

1324
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 2: win eighty games, or they could completely implode this year

1325
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 2: like they did last year and having a ninety last season.

1326
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 3: So you're right there. But I think to the organization itself,

1327
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:00,080
Speaker 3: it's pretty clear.

1328
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 2: That they are doing what they can to win games.

1329
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 2: But if you're a fan, I can totally understand why

1330
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 2: you might not think that because they're getting all these

1331
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 2: mid tier players and they don't exactly have a guy

1332
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 2: that's not Danielle Cutra. And you have a good point

1333
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 2: about Jazz. This is gonna be a big proven season

1334
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 2: for him.

1335
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 3: He's got a lot to play for, has a lot

1336
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:21,800
Speaker 3: of talk to back up, So we'll see how that

1337
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 3: goes for sure.

1338
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 1: It's a good question, Rights, And as you mentioned with

1339
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 1: kim Bing in the final year of her deal, I

1340
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: mean most of this direction changes just like that if

1341
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 1: she's gone, and until we get like some confirmation about

1342
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 1: her contract thing extended, it is something that still needs

1343
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 1: to be in the back of our minds. She made them.

1344
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 1: It's curious at this point, I think you have to

1345
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 1: say that this is kind of her call to mostly

1346
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: push the chips in at this stage of it. Jeter.

1347
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 1: I know Jeter was somebody that was a big proponent

1348
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,480
Speaker 1: of that as well, dating back to the previous offseason,

1349
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 1: But at this point, this was per opportunity I think

1350
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 1: between I don't think it was Bruce Sherman necessarily that

1351
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 1: was demanding that they do this at a time when

1352
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 1: they this is it was a flawed major league roster

1353
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: and kind of a middling farm system as well, and

1354
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 1: considering just where they were last year, it is a

1355
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,600
Speaker 1: pretty substantial leap to go from where they were to

1356
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 1: even being on the fringes of postseason contention. When you

1357
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:31,599
Speaker 1: consider what the National League is looking like, it does

1358
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 1: seem that there are at least six, maybe seven teams

1359
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:37,920
Speaker 1: in the National League that are a lot better than

1360
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 1: they are right now. So you're counting on multiple of

1361
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 1: those teams underperforming in some way in order to even

1362
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,680
Speaker 1: make it realistic that you could sneak in as a

1363
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: wild card. This is a questionable call. And I mean

1364
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,679
Speaker 1: they were able to improve the team by actually getting

1365
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 1: Sherman to invest more than he has in any of

1366
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:02,839
Speaker 1: the previous frosters up them like sure up this offense,

1367
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 1: and to make some incremental improvements to the bullpen as well.

1368
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 1: There is this multi year window, it seems so if

1369
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 1: we are going to assume that there is some sort

1370
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: of extension worked out and that there's at least one

1371
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: more year beyond this year, almost all these key players

1372
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 1: are under contract next year. I mean, who isn't so

1373
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 1: Laer can opt out of his deal if he does

1374
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: extremely well. If he does extremely well this year, then

1375
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 1: that bows well for the team and how they performed

1376
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: as a whole. Besides him, Dylan, Floro and Cooper and Wendel,

1377
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 1: I guess you have like these role players that could leave,

1378
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:41,719
Speaker 1: and they're counting on some of these hand picked players

1379
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 1: that they traded for, like Grossian's and Edwards and Demaya,

1380
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: not all of them, but like one of them hopefully

1381
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: emerging as an actual starting caliber player at this point

1382
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 1: this year or next year. So this this to me,

1383
01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: is like a two year window before Sandy starts getting

1384
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,720
Speaker 1: kind of expensive, before Jazz starts getting kind of expensive,

1385
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,639
Speaker 1: and before some of these veterans that they just brought

1386
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 1: in have the opportunity to be free agents.

1387
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 3: Again.

1388
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of pressure on this year, but

1389
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 1: it's really this next two year window where success is

1390
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 1: going to be probably making the postseason in one of

1391
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 1: those two years, and if they don't, then you see,

1392
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:31,120
Speaker 1: like potentially you see them go into another rebuild again

1393
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:35,440
Speaker 1: just because of all the questions about their player developments

1394
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:38,719
Speaker 1: on the offensive side. So one of the big offseason

1395
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 1: additions aside from the players was Ozo Campo as the

1396
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 1: assistant GM, somebody who was very highly regarded with how

1397
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 1: we developed international players with the Astros through the years

1398
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 1: and how we found international players early in their careers.

1399
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:59,639
Speaker 1: He's somebody that will presumably have a pretty big impact

1400
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: on their future at some point, but he's the guy

1401
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:04,599
Speaker 1: that deals with the long term future, not the short

1402
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: term future. Like he's the guy you bring in when

1403
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 1: you wonder, hey, maybe maybe we're four or five years

1404
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 1: away and may maybe we got to focus on developing

1405
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 1: these international players internally who signed as teenagers, and maybe

1406
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 1: we need to start looking at them as our hope.

1407
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 3: So it is.

1408
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:28,759
Speaker 1: They made this really questionable choice. It is a questionable

1409
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 1: choice when you just consider what they're going up against

1410
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: in the National League East and in the National League

1411
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:35,640
Speaker 1: as a whole, where they're counting on some of these

1412
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 1: teams to underperform, and they're counting on this emphasis, this

1413
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 1: new emphasis on contact, hitting and all, and finally hoping

1414
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 1: that the starting pitching depth that they've been gathering finally

1415
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 1: puts it all together and that they have an elite rotation,

1416
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 1: Like there is a path where this all works out.

1417
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: It's just that I think moving forward there, they're going

1418
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 1: to need to get a lot better from the player

1419
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 1: development side, or they're going to have Bruce Sherman investing

1420
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 1: more and more money than he has in the past.

1421
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,880
Speaker 1: He needs to keep increasing payroll. They just keep up

1422
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:15,720
Speaker 1: with where major League Baseball is these days. Otherwise, I

1423
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 1: just don't think that they're going to be able to

1424
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:20,599
Speaker 1: catch up with these other organizations that have so many

1425
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:21,480
Speaker 1: more resources.

1426
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:26,720
Speaker 3: Sean's got his hand up.

1427
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:32,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I guess just freaking just do a

1428
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 11: little looking ahead if we're gonna you know, if you

1429
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 11: think positive they are contending, and they swing a tray

1430
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 11: and it was looking at one team that might be

1431
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 11: likely to.

1432
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:46,919
Speaker 3: Do that if the Yankees made either one of Torres,

1433
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,680
Speaker 3: and let's say it's Parazza, because Torres.

1434
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 10: I think we have enough second basement this year. But

1435
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 10: if they make Parazza available, what do you think would

1436
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 10: be a good trade package Marlin should consider.

1437
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 3: For that question.

1438
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 2: We had Pablo and a lot of the discussions last

1439
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 2: year when Broz's name came up, along with Labatrus. I

1440
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 2: don't know what they would do this year because there's

1441
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 2: not really any starting pitchers you want the trade right

1442
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 2: now that would actually be able to get him. Of course,

1443
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 2: you could trade Johnnyquaito, but he's not gonna meet that.

1444
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:25,760
Speaker 3: I don't think they're in.

1445
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 2: A position where they would want the trade either of Vetteburg, Cabarretes,

1446
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:33,160
Speaker 2: Wizardo or Trevor Rodgers right now. And unless Fury Perez

1447
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 2: is as advertising try will be and another guy from

1448
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:41,200
Speaker 2: the or League system comes out of nowhere and forms

1449
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 2: at a high level, I don't see them trading a

1450
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:45,360
Speaker 2: hitter for him, And why would they or why would

1451
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 2: the Yankees take that?

1452
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 3: Neil, So it's tough. I don't really know what the

1453
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 3: Marlins are going to do trade.

1454
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 2: Device, but I do think it will be allowed the

1455
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:55,600
Speaker 2: deadline of some kind because of Kim's contract situation and

1456
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:56,519
Speaker 2: just the nature.

1457
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 3: Of the team in general. What s the record is?

1458
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 2: I think a lot of it's just depending on the

1459
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,720
Speaker 2: first half of the season goes. Are the Marlins a

1460
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 2: few games over five hundred?

1461
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:07,040
Speaker 3: Are they right there? And you know, are maybe a

1462
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 3: bat and.

1463
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:10,760
Speaker 2: An open guy away from competing just like they were

1464
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 2: last year and they didn't really do that much.

1465
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:18,639
Speaker 3: Maybe, But are are they going to be six seven

1466
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:20,880
Speaker 3: games other five hundred kind of out of it? And

1467
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 3: they've lost as all their division games you can see

1468
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:25,720
Speaker 3: that as well.

1469
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 2: So I don't know right now. It's tough for help

1470
01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 2: for me if they could find a package for him

1471
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 2: or who they would even trade right now. I think

1472
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 2: we just got to see what did they do the

1473
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 2: first month or two of the season, how the team looks.

1474
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen those suggestions about potential starting pitcher for

1475
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 1: top prospect hitting trades that they can make right now,

1476
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 1: and I'm puzzled why anybody would even think about that.

1477
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:00,559
Speaker 1: Trade ideas are sexy like twelve months out of the year,

1478
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:04,639
Speaker 1: but it's totally inappropriate for this part of the season.

1479
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:07,680
Speaker 1: Like their rotation is as good as it is, and

1480
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 1: they just invested a lot of time and roster spots

1481
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 1: towards getting both the veteran hitters and also the trades

1482
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:20,639
Speaker 1: for these other prospects infielders such as Amaya and Xavier Edwards.

1483
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 1: Why did they trade for them if they're immediately going

1484
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 1: to be leapfrogged by another unproven but talented prospect in

1485
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:31,679
Speaker 1: the same stage of their developments, like they're just going

1486
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:35,479
Speaker 1: to be that's not going to be putting those guys

1487
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 1: in a position to be successful if they're immediately pushed

1488
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:41,519
Speaker 1: down the depth charts despite being on the verge of

1489
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 1: debuting or sticking in the big leagues at the timing

1490
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense to me at all. Like they've built

1491
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,600
Speaker 1: this very particular team and they're going to let it

1492
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:51,639
Speaker 1: play out, as Grant said, for a little bit before

1493
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 1: doing anything dramatic like that.

1494
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 3: They've got to get through April.

1495
01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 2: And then maybe we can the maybe any more time

1496
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 2: than acause the Marlins for four games above five hundred

1497
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 2: at the end of the Dayril last year, and it

1498
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 2: all came crashing and burning in May. I would just

1499
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 2: waiting a couple of months, and we'll just have to

1500
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 2: wait and see. I have to wait and see. Any

1501
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 2: other final questions, We'll wrap this up here. It's been

1502
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 2: one of our longer ones.

1503
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:20,880
Speaker 3: It's good questions. This is gonna become a weekly thing

1504
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 3: out of the season.

1505
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 2: On their way because I feel like if we try

1506
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 2: and talk about two weeks worth of games and.

1507
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 3: In one show, we're gonna be here for three hours.

1508
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:36,439
Speaker 2: Any final questions, any final thoughts before close this one

1509
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 2: out and look.

1510
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:39,840
Speaker 3: Towards the season, woman's breaking looking in.

1511
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 2: I had Yukon beating Ohio State and that didn't happen.

1512
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 2: I had Tennessee being Virginia Tech. That didn't happen. So

1513
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:51,000
Speaker 2: it's kind of done. I hope Miami wins at all,

1514
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 2: I really do. But it's a good time to be

1515
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:56,599
Speaker 2: a basketball fan in South.

1516
01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 3: Border right now. Hopefully that he can get it together.

1517
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 2: That's the only South Florida back wealthy my rootport, so

1518
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:04,840
Speaker 2: hopefully they get it together. Playoffs are coming up. Maybe

1519
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 2: the Heat aren't competitive in the playoffs. Who they get

1520
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 2: first round, the more people will put their eyes on

1521
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:12,680
Speaker 2: the Marvels early on. Counna be a big opportunity for them,

1522
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 2: we'll see.

1523
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:15,639
Speaker 3: And the Panthers probably won't make the playoffs either.

1524
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,839
Speaker 2: So the Marlins got out in the month of April

1525
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 2: all of themselves potentially will have to see.

1526
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 3: If that's all we got. Thank you guys all for

1527
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 3: coming out. This will be a weekly thing now. So

1528
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 3: I then we've been doing a bye with good but we.

1529
01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 2: Will be back here next Sunday about seven o'clock. We're

1530
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 2: gonna probably make our set time because odds are the

1531
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 2: Marlins will not be playing Sunday night baseball at any

1532
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 2: point this year.

1533
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:42,439
Speaker 3: That's just the way you can rolls. I hate it.

1534
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:44,360
Speaker 3: I want a Sunday night baseball game.

1535
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 2: But thanks again. Opening days Thursday some of the best

1536
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 2: words that you can hear right now. Marlins Baseball is

1537
01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 2: about to meetingfully be back, So thank you guys all

1538
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 2: for coming out. We will see you here next week,

1539
01:18:58,120 --> 01:18:59,840
Speaker 2: hopefully to talk about a four to zho start.

1540
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 3: Magy
