1 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: Fish Stripes Unfiltered, Episode twenty six. Fresh off the Marlins 2 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: losing three out of four against the Dodgers, Sandy went 3 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: all nine, which was probably the story of the series, 4 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: but we won't get into that. Just about before spring 5 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: training started, all right, when it started, we made a 6 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: podcast doing five bold predictions for the MLB season, for 7 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: the Miami Marlins season, and we're gonna go back to 8 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: those and take a peek at what we said. Some 9 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: of them may have been really bad, some of them 10 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: could be really good. So we'll look at them. And 11 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: as always I have my co host, Isaac Zooit. We 12 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: have Eli Susman here, managing editor of Fish Stripes. Isaac, 13 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: what's up. I'm kind of excited to the back in these. 14 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: We were looking at them just prior to starting the 15 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: light the podcast. But and some of these are really 16 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: bad the way they ended up being. 17 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun to go 18 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 2: over them, to see how naive we were six seven 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: months ago before the season spring training hopes were high. 20 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: And you know, you'll see how you know, even experts like. 21 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 2: Us, we can be we can be wrong sometimes. But 22 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: I see this is episode twenty six, so what. We've 23 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: been doing this for exactly a year now, so that's 24 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 2: something too to acknowledge. It's been a pleasure doing this 25 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: with mainly you, Kevin Eli for you know, doing all 26 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,919 Speaker 2: the behind the scenes work for a whole fifty two weeks. 27 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 3: So I'm very excited to get into the show. 28 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and all of our guests, thank you for two 29 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: all of them who may be watching, So Eli, what's up? 30 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: H d Eli? We have h d Eli in the house. 31 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: You could see him perfectly. What's up? Eli? And I'm 32 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: excited to look back at these. 33 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 3: Well at least you are. 34 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I understand, I understand what you guys are. Not 35 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 4: my finest year when it comes to ber predictions and 36 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 4: all that stuff. But as echoing with Isaac said, yeah, 37 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 4: it's been right around one calendar year since we started 38 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 4: Unfiltered doing every other week, and I'm very proud of 39 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 4: the way that you guys have set up the show 40 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 4: and coordinated things and started discussions. Everything that you guys 41 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 4: have done, keep it. 42 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: Up, yep. So I think it's just time to go 43 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: right into them, take a peek at what we said 44 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: and what we may not have done. Well already, he's 45 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: this Lozardo will rank second on the Marlins and innings pitched. Unfortunately, 46 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: Lozardo did go on the sixty day il SO. But 47 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: he has been good and he's currently pitching right now. 48 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: So if you want to get into your prediction why 49 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: he made it and how that just turned out, not 50 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: yet today. 51 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: On August thirtieth, he struck out Randya Rose Arena. He's 52 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: looked very good for while he's been on the mound. 53 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: He did have that rough start when he was pitching 54 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: through that injury that placed him on the ale that 55 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: was originally a forearm strain. He was pitching really well 56 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 2: until that point he got roughed up in Arizona. And 57 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 2: ever since he's been bad, he's had some really special performances. 58 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: He had a really great game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. 59 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: He pitched well against his former team. And you know, 60 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: it's always hindsight is always twenty twenty. But you know, 61 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: if he's healthy, he I think he easily pitches those 62 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: second most sittings on this team. Maybe him and Pablo 63 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: would be close, but so far over one in my 64 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: old predictions, but at least that one was somewhat maybe 65 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: a little bit feasible. 66 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: All right, So I think we just go right into 67 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: the second one, which once again Eli's notw er and 68 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: to one jas Chishom will lead the MLB and stolen bases. 69 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: John Birdie leads it. So yeah, we were onto something 70 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: when a Marlin would lead there, so you like, if 71 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: you want to get into that one quickly there, Yeah, not. 72 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 4: Just a Marlins to the fact that I believe the 73 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 4: Marlins is a team, are also laying the mangers and steels. 74 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 3: I was on it. 75 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 4: Maybe I get a quarter of a point for that 76 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 4: either way, even if she has had been completely healthy 77 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 4: this year. Doesn't run as often as Bertie does, and 78 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 4: that's a lot because he was sitting so many extra 79 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 4: base hits this year, so it wasn't even in position 80 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 4: to steal bases because he was moving himself into a 81 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 4: scoring position Individually, he had to obviously an outstanding first half. 82 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 4: As of recording this, there's still a shred of hope 83 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 4: they could be back at the end of the year. 84 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 4: They're still waiting for clearance for him to begin based activities, 85 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 4: so any chance of that went up and smoke. With 86 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 4: the back injuries, he had a couple of nagging injuries 87 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 4: early in the season, and then while rehabbing that back 88 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 4: right around the All Star break, diagnosed with a stress fracture, 89 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 4: and that is what has kept them out ever since 90 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 4: the first half of the season. Unfortunately. Either way, I 91 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 4: mean from what we saw when he was healthy this year, 92 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 4: he was he took a nice step forward as a player, 93 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 4: a deserving All Star. So he is one of the 94 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 4: brightest of the bright spots on this Marlins team. And 95 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 4: when you look around the Marlins community and people are 96 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,239 Speaker 4: kind of negative about what's happening right now, I feel 97 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 4: like just Jazz getting back healthy one hundred percent, whether 98 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 4: it's at the end of this year or just being 99 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 4: certain heading into next year. He all by himself, he 100 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 4: makes a big difference on how this team performs, especially offensively. 101 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, so we were on some you were onto something there. 102 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: Unfortunately it wasn't Jazz, but the Marriums do lead. It 103 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: was John Berdie So. 104 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 2: It was Old Screw there because I remember asking Jazz 105 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: and spring training. 106 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 3: I don't know if you was there, if someone was 107 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 3: there and I. 108 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: Asked Jazz, like you and Marte Starling maren't taking to 109 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: be competing there. He's like yo, I'm not gonna be 110 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: seeing as much basis as many bases this year. 111 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: I don't. 112 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 2: I don't know why he said that he gave it 113 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: a reason. 114 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 3: I just yeah, well, I mean Twayne on that. 115 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 4: I also I spoke with Jazz separately, not in person, 116 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 4: but I spoke with them over Zoom during spring training 117 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 4: as well. And this was after this the show that 118 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 4: the live predictions that we did where he kind of 119 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 4: echoed that feeling that he had a lot of confidence. 120 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 4: As it turns out, didn't age very well, but he 121 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 4: said he had a lot of confidence in the rest 122 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 4: of this Marlins lineup to drive him in and he 123 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 4: was very conscious of not making unnecessary outs on the bases. 124 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 4: For most guys, Bertie's kind of an exception where I mean, 125 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 4: if you go all the time, usually your success rate 126 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 4: is not super great. So with him that that take 127 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 4: age very badly, almost immediately even before the season started, 128 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 4: as as Isaac pointed out, like Jazz had been mentioning 129 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 4: that he wasn't really all that obsessed with stolen bases 130 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 4: as he may have been earlier in his professional career. 131 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, so with him, and of course with the Marlins 132 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: ups moving forward, Jazz it's more about. 133 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 4: The bat than it is with the legs. If his 134 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 4: bat is what it was while playing up the middle, 135 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 4: he's an im mentally valuable player. 136 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, so next one was mine. Sandy will have a 137 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: winning percentage and received nlcy Young votes. That is correct, 138 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: So I mean one, ever, that was the least bold one. 139 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: I had to get a safe one in there, and 140 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: I think this was my safe one. So yeah, Sandy, 141 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: I think is ten and I want to say six, 142 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: ten and four, ten and six or eleven and six. Yes, yes, 143 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: and he will win the sy Young. That's that's a fact. 144 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: And now it's just a matter of if it'll be 145 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: unanimous or not. So if anyone has anything to say 146 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: on Sandy, you guys probably spoke about it earlier today. 147 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: We're again filming this after Fish Strips Live for the 148 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: Raised Series. So this guy's incredible. He's the best picture 149 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: in baseball and it's by a wide margin at this 150 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: point because his runner up would have been Tony Gonsolon 151 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: just got injured, went onto al he didn't make a 152 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: start in Miami, and the Syng Award will be his 153 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: and it'll be unanimous. In my opinion, I think unless 154 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: that one or two people will vote either Tony Gonsolin 155 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: or someone else who they think should be the SIAM winner. 156 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 4: I've enjoyed Kevin having this very strong stance about Sandy 157 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 4: and the cy Young. You've been on this for a 158 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 4: few weeks now, like not even taking any conversation about it, 159 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 4: knowing how obviously it is. I agree with you. I 160 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 4: just pulled up the earlier today. I pulled up the 161 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 4: betting odds on him, and he is like the implied 162 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,239 Speaker 4: chances of him winning the si Young. 163 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 3: Are like eighty percent. 164 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 4: At this point, he's far and away the front runner. 165 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 4: The season's not over yet, so we just hope that 166 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 4: he stays healthy. At the very least, your bold prediction 167 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 4: is almost a lack because that will be there, and 168 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 4: even if his arm fell off tomorrow, he's still going 169 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 4: to receive some votes for what he did this year. 170 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 4: At the combination of working deep insive games and preventing 171 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 4: runs and just being so consistent started after start after 172 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 4: start against almost every single opponent, it's been such a 173 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 4: blessing a lot. It's in the conversation of maybe the 174 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 4: best individual pitching season we've seen in Marlin's history, and 175 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 4: as we all expect it will be the first one 176 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 4: in Marlin's history for someone to actually win the cy Young. Yeah, 177 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 4: let's just there's still some games to be played in 178 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 4: order to solidify himself, and regardless, he feels so confident 179 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 4: in him moving forward. That's one of the best contracts 180 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 4: in baseball that any player is signed to. This is 181 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 4: just the beginning of another half decade beyond this. 182 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: So let's go to your prediction. This is I guess 183 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: the first bad one record thirty plus saves this season, Isaac. 184 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: The four is yours. 185 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I sort of ignored his second half struggles. 186 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: I ignored the fact that, you. 187 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: Know, the crackdown on sticky stuff affect him this much. 188 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 2: Opening Day blows the first opportunity he gets, and he 189 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 2: loses his closer's role almost instantly. I don't know who 190 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 2: lost it, quicker Anthony Bass last year or then he 191 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 2: Bender this year. I don't know what it is with 192 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 2: Anthony's pitching the ninth, but they've struggled. Bender underwent Tommy 193 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 2: John surgery today on August thirtieth. So yeah, just I 194 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: don't know how many saves he ended up recording, if any, 195 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 2: in this single, So you know, what even if he 196 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 2: was the closer all year long. I don't think he 197 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 2: even gets a thirty, So I will stand by that one. 198 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 3: That's a loss on my part. 199 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're zero in two. I mean, there's not 200 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: much more to say. As well, he did get injured, 201 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: so that kind of did a ruin your chance more so, Eli, 202 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: if you have anything on Bender, if not, we can 203 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: move on. 204 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 3: Well Bender, I like to release on a very small sample. 205 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 4: Once he came back from the initial injury, back injury, 206 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 4: he looks much better there than he did during the 207 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 4: start of the season. Now you just don't know exactly 208 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 4: what to expect him out With Tommy John, Yeah, it's 209 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 4: really unfortunate, and there have been a handful of pitchers 210 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 4: in this organization that have all torn their elbows and 211 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 4: need to have Tommy John this year. 212 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 3: It's Yeah, it's. 213 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 4: Very frustrating for him, but he'll be back eventually and 214 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 4: I trust him to be a decent contributor to this 215 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 4: bullpen whenever he does get back healthy. 216 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Eli mentioned another Tommy John guys, so they 217 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: have I think four. Paul Campbell was very early in 218 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: the year. We remember that when Max Meyer got it 219 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: in the you know, second start taking out Bender pote 220 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: T he I think that those are the four guys 221 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: in the same missing one more. 222 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 4: You're missing one obscure one, Sean Gunther Sean he got 223 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 4: hurt even before the season started. 224 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: Before the season. Yeah, it was during the lockout of 225 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: from CRRACK right around that time. I don't know if 226 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: it was reported around that time, but when we got 227 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: into the season, right, that was the thing. Yeah, So 228 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: your prediction, like I said, Brian Anderson will be dealt 229 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: before the end of the season. He did not get dealt. 230 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: His name was probably fit on out there a couple 231 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: of times. But uh, just your thoughts on that prediction 232 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: and how it's turned out, which he's still on the Marlins. 233 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 4: I think it was a fine prediction. It got foiled 234 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 4: by injuries plural. He missed a lot of time and 235 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 4: he's been inconsistent both offensively and defensively this year when 236 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 4: he was around. But it was really that latest injury 237 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 4: I don't even recall exactly what it was that kept 238 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 4: him out for a few weeks between June and a 239 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 4: lot of July. But he's back now, and with him 240 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 4: it had a lot to do with his contract status. 241 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 4: The fact that next year is going to be his 242 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 4: final year under club control, and we've talked about that. 243 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 4: They just they have a lot of these veterans in 244 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 4: similar situations, between him and Miguel Rojas and Joey Wendel, 245 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 4: that all of them are nearing free agency and there's 246 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 4: probably not a single one of them that's indispensable, so 247 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 4: he looked for opportunities to deal them in order to 248 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 4: address a different need and shed a little bit of 249 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 4: money off the payroll. So I feel like he would 250 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 4: have been a good candidate to move at the deadline. 251 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 4: The team, as we found out, they were sellers for 252 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 4: the most part at the deadline, but they didn't do 253 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 4: very much selling a lot just because of guys that 254 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 4: they wanted to move who were injured were underperforming a lot. 255 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 4: And I think he would have had some value to 256 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 4: a contending team if he was totally healthy in July. 257 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 4: As somebody that plays both third base and the corner 258 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 4: outfields bats. He's a really useful ballplayer, and I still 259 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 4: think he's a trade candidate entering this offseason, So we'll 260 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 4: see about that. 261 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where I wanted to go with Isaac. Here. 262 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: Do you think they trade Brian Anderson, and what type 263 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: of value would he bring back unless you would attach 264 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: him with another player, which would be the ideal situation. 265 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: With a guy like Brian Anderson injury prone, you really 266 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: don't know where he's gonna end up playing permanently, because 267 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: we know he's been playing a lot of right this 268 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: now since coming back from the injury to not reinjure 269 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: that shoulder again. So what would his value look like? 270 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: And do you think they it's better just to attach 271 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: him with another player. 272 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 3: It's a very very good question. 273 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 2: I don't know what they will do if I were 274 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 2: gonna If I were to guess, I think they trade 275 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 2: him now. Whether that's the right move, it's a very 276 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 2: tough one. You don't have someone with as much offensive upside, 277 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 2: you know. I think he still has a lot of 278 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 2: that you guys mentioned it with on defense, he's been 279 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: inconsistent that shoulder. I think he's whether he's afraid to 280 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 2: dive to his left right. 281 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 3: It's it's weird. 282 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: I like him in right. 283 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 2: Field a lot, but then they have all these young 284 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 2: guys playing the outfield playing you know, right and left, 285 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: Berdi Blede and Carnasciolia to play some right field, obvious, solare. 286 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 3: They have a lot of guys in the outfield, so 287 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 3: I just don't know if there's room for him. 288 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 2: But at the same time, they don't have a lot 289 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 2: of you know, five tool players like Brian Anderson. He's 290 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 2: a five tool major League. You know, he hits, he 291 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 2: hits for power. He's got a cannon of an arm 292 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 2: field wherever you put him. I know this year is 293 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 2: different at third and he can run, so I think 294 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 2: it would be a little bit of a mistake to 295 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 2: trade him. We've got to see what his value is 296 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 2: at this point. He's had a pretty decent time since 297 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 2: returning from the injured list, but he is one of 298 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 2: those really strange ones. You know, the GM was never 299 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 2: very high on him. You know, she said she wanted 300 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 2: to see more. Well, he hasn't been able to. I'm 301 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: just it' very It's a very interesting one with Brian Anderson. 302 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 2: I don't know what they will do, nor what they 303 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 2: should do. 304 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: They should trade an infielder, I don't know if he 305 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 1: should be Brian Anderson, but we'll see where they go there. 306 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's a weird situation to due 307 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: to his injuries mainly, and there's times where he's just 308 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: on the high he's playing very well. Then there's moments 309 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: on the lows where, especially in that serious in New York, 310 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: where he basically cost the team the game there. So 311 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: let's look at the next prediction. This was mine. Isaac 312 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: loved this prediction when I mentioned it. Joey Wendall will 313 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: lead the Marlins and hits. This is wrong. He is fifth, 314 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: he has sixty nine hits, nice and the leader is 315 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: Jesus Aguilar, who's not even on the team with ninety eight. 316 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: So if anyone wants to get into this one, I 317 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: mean it made sense at the time the type of 318 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: player Joey Wendle was and we were going to get 319 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: from him, just the guy who's gonna get on base 320 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: at a high percentage, and that's what he's done. But 321 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: injuries have really derailed him here twice. He had the 322 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: first one and that the day he got back from 323 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: his injury once again going on the injured list. So, Isaac, 324 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: do you think this was something that could have been 325 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: possible if injuries really didn't derail him here? Yeah, for 326 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. 327 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 2: One, you know, Aguilar being DFAED and Avi getting hurt 328 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 2: and Cooper being hurt a little bit and really struggling. 329 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 2: This could have easily happened if Weddall had stayed healthy. 330 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 2: And the fact that they're giving Wendell so much playing time. 331 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 2: He's already closing on three hundred plate appearances. I think 332 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 2: going into the season they didn't expect that. They didn't 333 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: expect to work him so hard, but he's had to 334 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 2: have a necessity. So yeah, you know, I would even say, man, 335 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 2: there's a chance, you know, Miguel Rojas, the one guy 336 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: who's probably gonna end up leading the team, but you know, 337 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 2: Rojas really struggles and Wendell is really hot. 338 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: It could happen. 339 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: So you know, I wouldn't say you're over or one 340 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 2: for three yet or whatever it is. 341 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: So the good, good, very good prediction. Yeah. 342 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 4: Well, something that's gonna be worth examining after the year 343 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 4: is what happened to Wendell even after returning from his injuries. 344 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 4: It's been kind of under the radar, but he hasn't 345 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 4: just he hasn't really hit very well during the second 346 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 4: half of the year, or even dating that to June. 347 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 4: You know, he got off to a great start. He 348 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 4: can to make a lot of contact and he comes 349 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 4: up in some signature moments, but overall offensively, he just 350 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 4: has not been very productive for this later portion of 351 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 4: the year. So I'll be interested in diving into what 352 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 4: specifics changed about him this. As you said, this looked 353 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 4: very good early on in the year, but not just 354 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 4: because of the injury, just when he even returned from 355 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 4: the injury, he hasn't been as valuable as they wanted 356 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 4: down the stretch, and that has played a little bit 357 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 4: of a role. And why offensively this team has been 358 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 4: in such an extended ruts because not even Joey Wendell 359 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 4: has been reliable. 360 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 3: For them lately. 361 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, looking at his post All Star stats, he's hitting 362 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: two thirty five, two fifty seven, three eleven five sixty eight. 363 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's not been good for Wendo. On the 364 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: last question I'll ask here to Elia is what is 365 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: the best case scenario entering twenty twenty three with Joey 366 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: Wendall as a starter or would that be worst case 367 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: scenario having him as the start? Because when we go 368 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: for when the team first acquired him, we we expected 369 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: super utility type guy that John Birdie asked player just 370 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: an upgrade from that or would the best case scenario 371 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,239 Speaker 1: be him starting or being the utility guy. We all 372 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: expected him to be playing around that one hundred and 373 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: ten one hundred and twenty game range. 374 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 3: For this season. 375 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 4: What I thought we'd see eventually this year is that 376 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 4: they would move into like a platoon with him and 377 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 4: Maggie Row at shortstop, and they'd find more powerful bats 378 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 4: that well Jazz at second, and they'll be able to 379 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 4: figure something out at third base. And they never really 380 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 4: got into that arrangement. When Meggi has been healthy, he's 381 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 4: been starting at shortstop almost every single day. It's only 382 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 4: been a handful of games that Wendell has played at 383 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 4: short I'm curious to see how they use him. I 384 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 4: think it is more because you say utility, but also 385 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 4: John Birdie is kind of a utility guy, and then 386 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 4: Luke Williams is a poor man's utility guy who I 387 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 4: guess when both Wendell and Birdie are healthy, then Williams 388 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 4: is the one that gets squeezed off the roster as well. 389 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 4: I still like him as a player, and I still 390 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 4: think he can help him win and he's but at 391 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 4: the same time, he might be somebody that has considerable 392 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 4: trade value despite his offensive slump, just because of how 393 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 4: versatile he is, how fundamentally sound he is, and how 394 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 4: good he was for a lot of twenty twenty one. 395 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 4: As with a lot of these veterans, you know, it 396 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 4: wouldn't really shock me if they made some sort of 397 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 4: trade this offseason with him. But I would lean towards 398 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 4: the fact that he's going to be around next year 399 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 4: and he's, if not every day starter, he's gonna get 400 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 4: pretty considerable playing time at those different infield spots. 401 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's move on to the next one. This 402 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: is Isaac's prediction. Sandy and Pablo will finish top five 403 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: in the NL say Young voting. Pablo maybe not anymore. 404 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: But Sandy, yes, we already covered that part. Pablo just 405 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: went kind of on a downwards spire and then up 406 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: again and down again. He had his moments that pretty 407 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: much kept him out of the Syng cy Young race 408 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: because if he kept playing April the way he was 409 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: playing in April, or pitching in April, I'm sorry, and 410 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: kind of in May, he would definitely be a top 411 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: five cy Young candidate opinion. But Isaac, if you want 412 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: to get into your prediction year. 413 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, you we were looking at this in May, it 414 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 2: would have been a slam dunk. But you know, yeah, 415 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 2: probably did go into a tiny bit of a slump 416 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: for his standards. 417 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 3: You know, he's still one of the better pitchers in 418 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 3: Major League Baseball. 419 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 2: But yeah, I think this whole season looks a lot different, 420 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 2: not too different, but you know, it's a little bit 421 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 2: better for Miami if both of those guys would be 422 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: at their best and in the top five in the 423 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 2: cy Young Hoding. So there's a optimistic of me to 424 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 2: say they would both finish there. Sandy one for two, 425 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 2: So I guess I get a half point for that one. 426 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, And so let's move on to Eli's prediction, another 427 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: one that did not aged well at all. After getting 428 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: off to a good start against the Braves, they won 429 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: the first series, I believe that was when they were 430 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,959 Speaker 1: on their lowest and then Eli said Marlins will win 431 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: their season series against the Braves. I don't know if 432 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: you have the record for Marlins and brazy Eli, but 433 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: if you do, if you could share that one talk 434 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,479 Speaker 1: a little bit about your prediction. 435 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 4: I will delay for a few seconds as I try 436 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 4: to pull that up. I believe at the moment the 437 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 4: Brain haven't clinched the season series yet, so there's still 438 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 4: there still a pulse in this. They could still pull 439 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 4: off a miracle. They would have to go undefeated against 440 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 4: the Braves in the last six games. They'd have to 441 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 4: win six straight against the Braves in order to make 442 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 4: this come true. So it's not looking good at the moment. 443 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 4: As the season has gone on, Yeah, those games have 444 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 4: been lopsided as they were for in recent years. The 445 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 4: Braves have been better than I thought. I mean, they 446 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 4: are performing better in the regular season than they did 447 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 4: last year. They are still in might win one hundred games, 448 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 4: if not very close to that, and they are still 449 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 4: sticking around behind the Mets in that division race longer 450 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 4: than I think most people thought that they have as 451 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 4: they continue. The story this year has been seeing how 452 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 4: they get amazing contributions from their rookies, from Spencer Strider, 453 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 4: from Michael Harris, the seconds from this new guy that 454 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 4: they just called up, this other infielder who has hit 455 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 4: the ground running, Vaughn Grissom as well, and the ability 456 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 4: that they're able to integrate these guys so seamlessly and 457 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 4: to have them turn out to be sometimes better than 458 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 4: the players that they're replacing. It's hard to really wrap 459 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 4: your mind around like how they do it. They are 460 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 4: a pretty model organization and that has shown up in 461 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 4: the headshad matchups between these teams. It hasn't always been 462 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 4: the usual suspects, you know, it's been a little bit 463 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 4: of a kunya. But obviously Freddy Freeman is gone. 464 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 3: It's just the rest of the team. 465 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 4: It's I guess that starts with I could go all 466 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 4: day just naming all the star power that they have. 467 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 3: But this brave organization is. 468 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 4: In an amazing spot and the Marlins should be pretty 469 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 4: envious of them. 470 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: Yep, So I think we can move on to the 471 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: next one. Marlins will have the best intra division record 472 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: in the NOW East, posting the highest winning percentage in 473 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: the NL East head to head matchups. So yeah, no, 474 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: this is horrible. On my end, at the time, I 475 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,959 Speaker 1: was on a high. I thought Miami usually played well 476 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,719 Speaker 1: against the division. They did against Washington. They've beat them 477 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: every single time except once, which was that extra innings 478 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: game in Miami. But Phillies, after getting off a pretty 479 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: good start against them, they couldn't get it going. Mets, 480 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: they've never had their They've never had anything good against 481 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: the Mets. I think we've lost every series against the 482 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: Mets fone correct, unless he split one four game set, 483 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: which I don't think they did at all. And the 484 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: Braves are the Braves. We just spoke about that one. 485 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: It was good last year. Last year they definitely had 486 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: some of these teams numbers, except even the Braves at 487 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: one point in the season. But no, this was a 488 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: bad one on my end, and hopefully next year it 489 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: comes to fluition and it's correct. So we'll move on 490 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: to Isaac's prediction. This was another one that at the 491 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: time it looked pretty good. It looked like it could happen. 492 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: But yeah, I know the guy's out for the year. 493 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: You're pres making his MLB debut, Isaac flows yours to 494 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about this one end. He's out 495 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: for the season, by the way, but he'll start in 496 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: Triple A. I believe he should start in Triple A 497 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. And you're muted, and you're muted, Yes, 498 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. 499 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 2: If it looked good at the time, you know, I 500 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 2: think it was a pretty It was one of my 501 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 2: bolder ones, for sure. But you know, if you just 502 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 2: thought that if he did this well at Double A. 503 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 2: Why would they just give him a start in September. 504 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 2: It wasn't so much making his debut and having a 505 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: couple of stars. It was more like giving him one 506 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: major league start at the end of the year. Obviously 507 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 2: he's you know, arm Fatigu. They're gonna be extremely cautious 508 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 2: with this, with this young guy still just nineteen years old. 509 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 2: All the way in Double A pitch very well. It 510 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 2: might have one or two outings. So I think next 511 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 2: year he will definitely make his major league debut. I 512 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 2: don't know that'll be bold enough for next spring training. 513 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: This episode, I do agree with that he will make 514 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: his debut next year. So this was by far the 515 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: funniest prediction. Eli's prediction here six Sanchez will make will 516 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: return and stick with Martin starting rotation throughout the second 517 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: half of the season. Prediction made before six to Sanchez 518 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: addressed the media and shared troubling details about his rehab 519 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: from shoulder surgery. Eli, I'll just let you talk about 520 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: this one. 521 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 4: Why. 522 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: I thought it was a good one and he was 523 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: making progress until now, which he stepped back, get some 524 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: discomfort there, and he's back throwing sixty feet now. 525 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 4: The reason why it's written out like this. This is 526 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 4: from the article page of the predictions that I put out. 527 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 4: It was within days of the Bold Prediction Show where 528 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 4: he showed up to his spring training and like the 529 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 4: vibe was pretty apparent that he just was not close 530 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 4: to baseball activity. It was clear to me from the 531 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 4: beginning that they just couldn't expect anything from him this year. 532 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 4: But I should say it wasn't clear to me when 533 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 4: we did the predictions, but it was clear to me 534 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 4: as of opening day before the season started. Once that 535 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 4: came around, and it was clear that they were taking 536 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 4: it as slow as possible with his rehab and the 537 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 4: vibes around it, and what I was able to gather 538 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 4: from people close to the situation is that his shoulders 539 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 4: cooked and it is unclear if he'll ever be a 540 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 4: major league picture again. Like it's it is very much 541 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 4: up in the air. It's a rare situation where somebody 542 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 4: so young is already doubtful to make it back to 543 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 4: where he was before his injury, but that's the nature 544 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 4: of the injury and the way that his body has. 545 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 3: Responded to it. 546 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 4: So it's it's pretty devastating at this point and there 547 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 4: are some people still hunt hanging out to hope back 548 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 4: that even not as a starter, then at least as 549 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 4: a shutdown reliever, and that that ship has sailed in 550 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 4: my opinion. Unfortunately with him, there's really no overstating how 551 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 4: exciting he was just a year and a half ago 552 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 4: entering the twenty twenty one season, and now this injury 553 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 4: has totally changed everything and it's going to be up 554 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 4: to the rest of the pitching in this Marlins organization 555 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 4: to step up and cover for his absence. 556 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it sucks to see a got like six So 557 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: because this you know, when the team was that it's 558 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: highs twenty twenty, the scot was pitching in the rotation 559 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: and he had some good starts. He pitched against Tampa coincidentally, 560 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: that seems they're currently playing today. So yeah, it sucks 561 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 1: to see Eli or Isaac whoever wants to answer this one. 562 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: What would if you said six to would throw another 563 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: pitch in the major leagues? Would it be in twenty 564 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: twenty four? 565 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know, nor are pretty low 566 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 3: from one pitch. 567 00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 4: There are a lot of guys who throw one pitch 568 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 4: in the majors and don't matter whatsoever. I mean, you 569 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,959 Speaker 4: see them every single year. I don't think he's ever 570 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 4: going to be even the picture that he was in 571 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 4: twenty twenty. I think that's the way that this injury 572 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 4: has impacted him, and it's going to take just really 573 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 4: it's going to take. It's kind of out of his 574 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 4: control at this point. Well, it's out of it's hard 575 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 4: to really see the path for him to get back. 576 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 4: He needs to find like the right remedy in order 577 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 4: to rehab this properly. The indications from when he was 578 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 4: on the mound even this summer were just not good, 579 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 4: that this stuff was not the same as it was. So, 580 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 4: if I had to pick whether he'll pitch in the 581 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 4: majors again, I think he will pitch in the majors again. 582 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 3: I just don't think he's. 583 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 4: Going to be a positive, impactful player And that entire 584 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 4: career that we dreamed about him has totally been derailed 585 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 4: by this. So focus your hopes and dreams on other 586 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 4: pictures in this organization. Fortunately, there are a lot of 587 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 4: ones with great potential that could do something similar to 588 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 4: what he was originally forecasted to do. 589 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: Vac's Fulton's Erge Eater is going to come back. So 590 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: those are two names. We'll go into my prediction, which 591 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: once again another wrong one. Maxim I will make ten 592 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: plus MLB starts at the time when he made two, 593 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: so two and like one of them was like an 594 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: inning and a half. But he was projected iron to 595 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: make around that many starts when he did come up 596 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: if I'm correct, So I guess that would have been 597 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: that would have been a slam dunk at the time, 598 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: not anymore, not much more to say. Max mart pitched 599 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: won one game against Philly than half an inning against 600 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: the Pirates which he was pitching with Tommy john With. Yeah, 601 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: some issues there. So Isaac's prediction, which I'm which still 602 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: holds some hope, Migul Roe host will win the NL 603 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: Gold Glove at shortstop. This one could happen. This one 604 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: definitely could happen. He's had a really good defensive season, Isaac. 605 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: So if you want to get into that. 606 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 2: One and did I say win, I would have said 607 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 2: a final, But yeah, no, he has well, it hasn't 608 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 2: really come around with the bat as one as he 609 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 2: would have liked. 610 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 3: He has been. 611 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 2: As expected shortstop, playing there almost every single day. 612 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 3: Like we were talked. 613 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 2: About earlier, and yeah, he has been one of the 614 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 2: top three best short defensive shortstops in all the baseball 615 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 2: even you know, with not an incredible arm, he's still 616 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 2: able to make fantastic plays of speed in which he 617 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 2: just gets rid of the ball. He's a great defender 618 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 2: at short and I think he's what plus nine or 619 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 2: ten defensive runs saved. So yeah, usually the gold Gloves 620 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 2: go to more sexy names, you know, but I think 621 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 2: there's a chance that he could win it. 622 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 3: So that one is TBD. 623 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: And then Eli's final prediction, which was to wrap it 624 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: all up here for him a Visail Garcia, well all 625 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,959 Speaker 1: Marlins players and wins above replacement. Eli, I'll just let 626 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: you talk about this one because yeah, this probably was 627 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: the worst one predicted here, or the worst outcome out 628 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: of all of them, if we could say. 629 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, as it turns out, all of us have hired 630 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 4: more this season than Avi Garcia. 631 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 3: Guys, he's been the negative coming off. 632 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 4: Obviously, they gave him the contract that they did last 633 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 4: offseason because he was coming off a very good year 634 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 4: as an all around player with the Brewers as an 635 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 4: everyday right fielder, not quite a thirty home run hitter 636 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 4: as some would lead you believe, but close to that 637 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 4: good power and good athleticism in right fields and up 638 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 4: and down, relatively good durability for somebody that's still supposed 639 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 4: to be in the prime of his career, and everything 640 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 4: just went wrong kind of right out of the gate. 641 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 4: You could see it really in the spring training. He 642 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 4: maybe some of it starts with the fact that his 643 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 4: conditioning was not what you would have hoped for. I mean, 644 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 4: you could visibly see the difference in him physically compared 645 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 4: to twenty twenty one, and I wonder how much the 646 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 4: lockout may have impacted him in that way, or for 647 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 4: whatever reason, he just physically a little bit different this year. 648 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 4: It was also probably more so just about the swing 649 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 4: decisions that he was making, just terribly undisciplined, perhaps pressing 650 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 4: too hard to validate that contract, just putting himselves in 651 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 4: terrible calend and. 652 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 3: Not hitting for power. 653 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 4: And even the injury is a little bit of a 654 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 4: setback as well. So he still has I'll have a 655 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,959 Speaker 4: little bit over a month to pull off the impossible 656 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 4: because he is chasing in the war department. Sandy obviously 657 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 4: leads a team, So by my calculations, if he hits 658 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 4: about eight hundred in September and with twenty home runs 659 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 4: in that month, is that too much to ask hit 660 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 4: eight hundred with twenty home runs, then maybe he can 661 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 4: prove me right. Anything short of that and it's not 662 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 4: going to work out. All the Marlins can hope for 663 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 4: is that. 664 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 3: He plays solidly down the stretch. So let's lower the bar. 665 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 3: As long as he looks at least. 666 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 4: Like an average everyday player and somebody that can help 667 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 4: them win games next year, then that's what matters, because 668 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 4: right now his contract is way underwater. It's historically he's 669 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,719 Speaker 4: had up years and down years. If you look at 670 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 4: his track record, the odd number of years tend to 671 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 4: be the better ones, and that's really the only hope 672 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 4: you can pin yourself to at the moment. 673 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 3: This was just the disastrous start to his big contract. 674 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, So we'll go to the final prediction here, which 675 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: was Jorg Hilaire will be an n Gold Glove finalist. 676 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: He made some nice plays, he started off pretty well, 677 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: and he will not be a left fielder or a 678 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: right fielder or a centerfielder next season. He will be 679 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: a d h irita in twenty twenty three. So Oen 680 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: one here, another wrong prediction here on my end. So 681 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: I think that's where, well, where we will wrap it up. 682 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: If anyone has any last words to say, and what 683 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: type of predictions we shall make for next season. Hopefully 684 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: those are a lot better than these, But some of 685 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: these were good. I'll say that Joey Wendel was a 686 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: good one. The Uri one could have been a good one. 687 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: Maximick could have been a good one if he had 688 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: made starts. Mickey Roast will holds hope. 689 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 3: What else? 690 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 2: I'll give it a very way too early bowl prediction 691 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 2: for nection for it, go for it, and that will 692 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 2: be that Avid Garcia leads all position players in war 693 00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 2: next season. 694 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: Okay, that's the next one there, Isaac's. 695 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 2: And I use position players, Sandy Pablo, Trevor loard of 696 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 2: no position players. 697 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 4: So not quite as bold as fine, but still bold. Nonetheless, 698 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 4: if that does come to fruition, yeah, for anybody listening, 699 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 4: it'd be if you guys can go back into your 700 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 4: memory banks and call out some of your own bad 701 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 4: bold predictions. That would make us feel better. So just 702 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 4: let us know some things that you felt with a 703 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 4: loud conviction. This is Remember these were from the middle 704 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 4: of spring training. If you can put yourself back into 705 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 4: that mindset. 706 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 3: It's hard to do. It's hard to Believeally hailed some of. 707 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 4: These opinions back when we did because of how poorly 708 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 4: they've aged. 709 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:39,479 Speaker 3: It's hard to do. 710 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 4: But that's what makes some fun in the first place, 711 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 4: and that's why I remember. I encourage people to go 712 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 4: very bold entering the year. We all have some baseline 713 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 4: agreement about what players are capable of doing, but it's 714 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 4: always fun to push yourself a little bit more. I mean, 715 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 4: the best case, of course, is Sandy winning the cy Young. 716 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 4: I don't think that was that was a safe opinion 717 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 4: entering the year, but there are situations where players do 718 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 4: go above and beyond what do you think that they're 719 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 4: capable of. So this is a fun exercise every year. 720 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 4: Probably not quite as fun this year since some other years. 721 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 4: But the way that the season is gone and the 722 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 4: way that me individually have performed this year, I wouldn't question. 723 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 4: I wouldn't, but I wouldn't really If people lose their 724 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 4: trust in me based on some of these picks, I 725 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 4: wouldn't blame them whatsoever. 726 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 3: We'll do better in twenty twenty three. 727 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: We will I do believe we will do a lot 728 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: better in twenty twenty three and that is where we 729 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: will wrap up this episode. As always, Isaac, thank you 730 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: for always being here. Eli always behind the scenes today 731 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: with us here as well.
