So I'm trying to think because 121 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: I honestly so. 122 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: Here's what I did. As a little. 123 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 3: Backstory once I knew I got the job, I would 124 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 3: basically every day I would go back on MLB dot 125 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 3: TV and I would find a random game from the 126 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 3: middle of last year. Random, I'm telling you Red's Rockies 127 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 3: in the middle of June for a Thursday twelve o'clock game, 128 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 3: and I would scroll, I would fast forward and it 129 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: would be in the sixth inning and I would just watch. 130 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 3: I didn't care what the score was, I didn't care 131 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 3: who was playing, but I would just watch. Now, I 132 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 3: probably So that's a little bit how I feel like 133 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 3: I've tried to kind of get the hang of some 134 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 3: of this. I'm very close with a lot of people 135 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 3: in the National Leagueese. I watched a ton of Atlanta 136 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 3: Braves broadcast because I think very highly of Brandon Godon. 137 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 3: I think Tom McCarthy is one of the very best 138 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 3: in this business. His effortless, li like ability to broadcast 139 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 3: and chill and hang out with Krucky is unbelievable. Obviously, 140 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: Gary and Keith and Ron are just another class of 141 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: their own. Boot Shambi has been amazing to me. I 142 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: love the way he broadcasts Let's see Chip carry as 143 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 3: somebody I think very very highly of. I watched a 144 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 3: lot of Cardinals broadcasts, would go back and at the 145 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 3: time last year under the Bally umbrella. I would watch 146 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 3: a lot of those broadcasts to try to get the 147 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: look in the feel of the shows because everything is 148 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 3: a little bit different. I watched a ton of Marlins 149 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 3: broadcasts from last year, so I really did try to 150 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 3: underneath the you know then Bally now FanDuel umbrella watch 151 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 3: a lot of those broadcasts. Watched a lot of people 152 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 3: within the division. I think DONNIEO and Mark rant Out 153 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 3: in San Diego are outrageously good. Just had an opportunity 154 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 3: last week to sit down with Joe Davis for a 155 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 3: few minutes too, honestly, like. 156 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: For a guy that. 157 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 3: Does what he does, like he is the like most 158 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 3: genuine kind human being in the world, and hey, if 159 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 3: you ever need anything, let me know, Like, no, you 160 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 3: don't need to tell me that, you know. 161 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: I'm just in awe of some of these people, as 162 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: like I guess any other fan would be. 163 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 3: I think Joe is unbelievable. There's a reason he broadcasts 164 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 3: the World Series. There is a reason he's televising and 165 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 3: doing the lead broadcasting. Stephen Nelson is here also, somebody 166 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 3: I've gotten to get to know a little bit. 167 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: He's amazing. But I watched a ton of Joe and 168 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: I told him as much. I said, I can't thank 169 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: you enough. 170 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 3: You don't even know this, but like, I watched so 171 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 3: many of your broadcasts in the off season because the 172 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,119 Speaker 3: one thing I love about Joe is it's so short, 173 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 3: sweetened to the point, but his ability to like convey 174 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 3: and like meet every moment, it's like insanely good to me. 175 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 3: So I've tried to take a little bit of everything 176 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 3: from everyone and then try to make it my own. 177 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 4: So yeah, Well, before we go into the twenty twenty 178 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 4: five Morelands, I want to ask you. 179 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: I guess you mentioned Boo Shamby. What are your main goals? 180 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 4: Obviously you're doing this, it is probably was one of 181 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,679 Speaker 4: your goals when you were in college, but what about 182 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 4: even long term? Seanby is now the voice of it 183 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 4: will be the show, the video game, Joe Davis doing 184 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 4: the World Series? 185 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: Is there a step higher that you're looking forward. 186 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 3: To I have no idea. I'm I'm not like a 187 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 3: huge goal setter person. Like I've told people, if I 188 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 3: never got another opportunity in my life and I got 189 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: the broadcast one major league game, I'd already fulfilled the 190 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 3: goal I had when I was a kid. Like I 191 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 3: don't think about what's next now. The one thing I 192 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 3: would love to do is in the offseason, when there's 193 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,479 Speaker 3: no baseball conflict, is continue to do more sports on television, 194 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 3: just to try to get better, Like I think it's 195 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 3: super important to and a lot. 196 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: Of those guys do that. You know, Joe's football. I'm not. 197 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 3: I'm a huge football fan. I don't broadcast hope, you know, 198 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 3: some hoops and stuff. I would love to cont need 199 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 3: to do that because I think, honestly, like being being 200 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 3: an athlete, the more versatilely you are and the more 201 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 3: sports you kind of play growing up, I think you 202 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 3: honestly just get better. So I would love to find 203 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 3: a way to do that if that's possible. If it's not, 204 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 3: it's okay. I don't think about anything outside of here, 205 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 3: Like I'm as happy as can be, Like I still 206 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 3: feel like, you know, I'm just living a Charmed Life. 207 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 3: There's hundreds of thousands of people out there that could 208 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 3: do this job. Yeah, I think I do a decent job, 209 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 3: But like i'd like, I don't. I don't come here 210 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 3: thinking about what's next. I don't know what's next, you know, 211 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 3: I don't. 212 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: I don't. 213 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 3: I don't think of like you know, yeah, I just 214 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 3: don't think about it. I'm just super happy every single 215 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 3: time the door opens up up there and they let 216 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 3: me in the building again, you know, Like that's seriously Like, 217 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think about what could possibly be 218 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 3: down the road now. I would like if you continue 219 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 3: to the people I have the and I come back 220 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 3: to Joe. 221 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: But but there's others too. 222 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 3: I love the guys that do their reach team that 223 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 3: fans fall in love with, that also do stuff on 224 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 3: a national scale. I think if you ultimately get yourself there, 225 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 3: you're doing something right, right, So like if that's a 226 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: I don't know if you'd say that's a goal for me, 227 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 3: But like, if I ever find myself when it doesn't 228 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 3: interfere with the Marlins doing something else on a different scale, 229 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 3: like I think that would be awesome because then you 230 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 3: kind of feel like, you know, you're doing something right. 231 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't. I'm not a goal setter, man, 232 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 3: I just I love doing this. In goodness, I'm thirty 233 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 3: three games into doing this. You know, maybe if I'm 234 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 3: three thousand and thirty games into doing this, I could 235 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 3: give you a different answer about what I think is 236 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 3: down the road, but I have no idea. 237 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: I love it here. Well. 238 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 4: That leads me to my next question, because obviously the Marlins. 239 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 4: You're not employed by the Marlins, but they are sort 240 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 4: of watching every single game I assume. Yeah, how do 241 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 4: you balance sort of like that Homer mentality when calling 242 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 4: these games? Obviously you want them to do well, we 243 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 4: all want them to do well, yeah, but also being 244 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 4: able to call them out when you see something wrong, 245 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 4: where you see something that shouldn't happen. How do you 246 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 4: sort of balance that act when you you know, you 247 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 4: also don't want to. 248 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: Get in trouble. Yeah. 249 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 3: No, it's a great question, and I would tell you 250 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 3: that There's already been some instances this year where I've 251 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 3: said something, So I think the one thing I'm really 252 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 3: good at is being cognizant. When I say something, like 253 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 3: my brain immediately is like dang, like like my brain 254 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 3: was thinking one thing. 255 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: It probably came out in a way. 256 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 3: If I ever say something, I'll know immediately that I 257 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 3: said something that can be conveyed or interpreted in a 258 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 3: different manner that could upset somebody. I'm super cognizant of that. 259 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: But I guess I'll get to your question. It's hard 260 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 3: for me because I care so much about this place, 261 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 3: like I really I don't want to just be a homer, 262 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 3: But I love the Marlins. I love the people that 263 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 3: have treated me so well here for so many years, 264 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 3: whether it's mister Sherman or Caroline O'Connor or John Eric Alvarez, 265 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 3: people that have had my back for a really long time. 266 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 3: I have their best interest at heart. I never want 267 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 3: to upset anybody, like I Like, I'm a human. If 268 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 3: I know that I've done something, and even if it's 269 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 3: if there's no bad intention behind it, but making a 270 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 3: comment about something that's not going well on the field 271 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 3: that somebody didn't like, that'll eat at me, like just 272 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 3: as a human, because I don't but I don't want 273 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 3: that to happen, Like I don't ever want anybody to. 274 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: Be upset with anything, now, you know. 275 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 3: With that being said, yeah, am I I'm not an employee, 276 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 3: but like I still want to see this organization to succeed. 277 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 3: I have literally zero interest in coming to this ballpark 278 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 3: every day and saying something about a member of this team, 279 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 3: the member of the coaching staff, a member of the 280 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 3: front office for them to be upset with me. 281 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: Now. 282 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 3: I but with that being said, I think I do 283 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 3: a fairly decent job of when things are not going 284 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 3: well saying that they're not going well. Right, Like, if 285 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 3: you're seeing something in color but it's really in black 286 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 3: and white, I'll tell you if it's in black and white, 287 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 3: you know, if you know, I'm sure we can get 288 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 3: into some of it with the team stuff. But like 289 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 3: you know, the stolen bases have been an issue this year. 290 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 3: I don't sugarcoat it, right, like that's the fourth or 291 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 3: fifth one allowed tonight. I try very very hard not 292 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 3: to let my opinion, like we all have one, get 293 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 3: in the way of just broadcasting the facts. I will 294 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 3: say there's been times this year whereas like Kyle's shut up, 295 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 3: like just just call it as you see it and 296 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 3: then move on, you know, whether it was getting on 297 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 3: an umpire about something or you know, as a fan 298 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 3: being frustrated that they stole another base or walk somebody. 299 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 3: You know, that's that's to me as a part of 300 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 3: my learning and growing. I think I can do a 301 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 3: better job about some of that sometimes, but I'm trying, 302 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 3: you know, I really do just want to make everybody happy. 303 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 3: I know you're not always going to please people. But 304 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 3: if I don't know if i'd answer your question, but 305 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. I mean, that's just kind 306 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 3: of how I feel. How I feel about it. I 307 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 3: just I just want to see them succeed, like we 308 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 3: all do. Whether you cover the team, you know, and 309 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 3: you guys growing up down here, you're fans of the Marlins, 310 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 3: you want to know you also have a job and 311 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 3: an obligation to cover the team in a fair and 312 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 3: honest manner. 313 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: That's the same approach I take. 314 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 3: There will absolutely be times I hope I get to 315 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 3: do this forever that you know, people are not going 316 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 3: to be happy with stuff that you say. I understand that, 317 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 3: but I just want everybody, if you don't like something, 318 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 3: come right to me. 319 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: I am what is the word I'm looking for? Give 320 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: me a second. 321 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 3: I am so open to constructive criticism in the least 322 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 3: sensitive person. Ever, when it comes to that stuff, if 323 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 3: there's anything that I ever say or do that makes 324 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 3: anybody upset, just come to me. 325 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: Let's knock it out. I'll never do it again, and 326 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: that helps me. Like that helps me long we'll grow 327 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: and learn too. So that's that's how I feel about that. 328 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Marlins's twenty five going into this 329 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 2: series against the Dodgers. A couple of games under five 330 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 2: hundred still, but not a bad start. I think better 331 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 2: than people expected just going into the years and team 332 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 2: on paper. A couple of guys really stood out, Kyle Stauers, 333 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 2: A lot of guys have been really good. Just what 334 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 2: are your thoughts on the team? 335 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 3: Well, before we get to the team, I was actually 336 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 3: thinking about this earlier today driving down. I think you 337 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 3: have to look at it and even are like a 338 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 3: big ten thousand foot view right now. And I know 339 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 3: we talked about this last year. I give a ton 340 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 3: of credit to Marlin's principle, Bruce Sherman, for spending a 341 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 3: ton of money on the resources on the back end 342 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 3: of this. And where I'm getting with this is the 343 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 3: money that they've spent on the back end of this 344 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 3: and the people they've employed, and the money that they've 345 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 3: spent is helping this team this year on that field. 346 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 3: Whether it's money that all this money they've spent on 347 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 3: these traject machines, the infrastructure, literal personnel people to staff 348 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 3: this thing, it's helping these guys. Whether you want to 349 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 3: hear that or not, it's helping those guys in that 350 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 3: clubhouse win games to be scrappy. 351 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: To your point about. 352 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 3: Kyle Stowers, so so, first and foremost, I give Bruce 353 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 3: a ton of credit for putting money forth, the money 354 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 3: that Peter needed. When they had that conversation what can 355 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 3: we do to make this better? And Peter says, this 356 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 3: is what we need and this is what we can 357 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 3: do to be successful. The answer is yes, here's what 358 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 3: you need, here's the amount of money. 359 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: You need to do it now. 360 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 3: We're going to do it now before we get to 361 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 3: this team. I give Peter Bendix a ton of credit 362 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 3: if you go back and look at the moves he's 363 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 3: made in the. 364 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: Last two years. 365 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 3: As critical as we were and people were at the time, 366 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 3: not trading Luisa rise in Jazz Chisholm Junr, there is 367 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 3: it is undisputable that those trades to date have been 368 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 3: very good deals. You see already with Augustine Ramirez and 369 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 3: you guys fill in the blanks for me, but Tanner 370 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 3: Scott and Brian how Tanner signs a huge deal with 371 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 3: the division rivals, but Robbie Snelling and Adam Major both 372 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 3: having unbelievable years. To me, that comes back to the 373 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 3: infrastructure and the people that am put in place to 374 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 3: kickstart those kids' careers and put them in a position 375 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 3: to succeed. So this all comes together, like before you 376 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 3: talk about the twenty twenty five team, you better give 377 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 3: credit to the people that are running the team and 378 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 3: owning the team for putting them in a position to 379 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 3: be successful. So Peter has made to me unbelievable deals. 380 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 3: I thought some of the waiver claims atto Lopez in 381 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: the last couple of years have been really, really good. 382 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 3: And you know what, I guess as we kind of 383 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 3: funnel down to this team, unless there's trades that you 384 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 3: wanted to. 385 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: Talk about, But I thought about that the other day, Like. 386 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 3: I know we call them this, but like the Jazz deal, 387 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 3: getting Augustine Ramirez and potentially Jared Cerna, two major leaguers 388 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 3: with twelve years of service, is ridiculous. 389 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: That's a great deal. Louisa Arrives haweing Puck. 390 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 3: What if Davis and de Los Santos is a big 391 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 3: leader for six years? Come on, like, those are unbelievable 392 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 3: deals that may be unpopular at the time, but they've 393 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 3: pulled the trigger on that stuff. 394 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: Peter knows what he's doing. 395 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 3: He saw this in this manner be very successful for 396 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 3: a really long time on the other side of the state. 397 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: These people know what they're doing. 398 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 3: I know it's not translating to a twenty and thirteen 399 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 3: record right now, but you have to be patient with it, 400 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 3: and I understand people don't want to be as it 401 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 3: pertains to this team this year, I think Peter and 402 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 3: Bruce hired an unbelievable manager, and Clayton McCullen knew exactly 403 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 3: what he was getting himself into in a good way. 404 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: That it's all about development. From day want to spring training. 405 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 3: They were out there doing drills like it's high school baseball, 406 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 3: but it was taking it down to the studs. 407 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: It really was. 408 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 3: They would like what they were doing was stuff that 409 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 3: you would see on a high school field, but that's 410 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 3: okay because they're implementing and doing things their way. I 411 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 3: think he's a great manager and a coach because he's 412 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 3: a baseball guy at heart. I think there's a lot 413 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 3: of super interesting members of his coaching. 414 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 1: Staff, like. 415 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 3: Kyle Stowers and some of these other guys that are 416 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 3: off the really nice starts. Eric Wagerman credit the front 417 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 3: office for grabbing him. He's done a nice job. He's 418 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 3: done a really nice job. Stours is not in this position. 419 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 3: If the new coaching staff and all their ways and 420 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 3: what they want to implement and these traject machines, like 421 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 3: like they're. 422 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: All on the same page. 423 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 3: Like the kid did not wake up and just become 424 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 3: a three hundred hitter in the big leagues. He was 425 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 3: helped to get here. There's a process that they've gone 426 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 3: through to get him here. 427 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 4: That's a trade too, Tryer Rodgers for Norby n Stars. 428 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: Unbelievable. 429 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 3: Like that's another one right, right, And again I understand 430 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 3: that that that that's all in its own bucket because 431 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 3: all people care about. 432 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: His wins and losses at the big league. 433 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 3: But there has been progress made after everything that we 434 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 3: just discussed. Progress is being made. It doesn't happen overnight. 435 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 3: But now in Peter Bendix's first two years. To me, 436 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 3: it's indisputable that progress has not been made right like 437 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 3: it has you, you can't say progress is not being made. 438 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 3: So and where else do you want to go with 439 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five teams? 440 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you. 441 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 4: I think it was a cool tweet the other day 442 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 4: that showed the twenty twenty three Marlins that playoff team 443 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 4: and where a lot of those core guys are now 444 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 4: negative war players, a lot of them on the injured list. 445 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 4: So I think objectively you can say that Peter Beggings 446 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 4: done an outstanding job, Sowe. It hasn't really gone well 447 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 4: for the Marls this year. Ironically, is pitching starting, pitching struggling, 448 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 4: Saniel Contra so weird to see him with an el 449 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 4: over eight. Hopefully that ends tonight to start against the Dodgers. Yeah, 450 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 4: no more melse Otomyer Junior. Yeah, just what are your 451 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 4: thoughts on the pitching? What can be done to improve it? 452 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 4: And just what's going on? 453 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 3: So number one, I don't know what can be done 454 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 3: to improve it because that's not my line on but 455 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 3: I understand your question. 456 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 5: Fish On First has partnered with about the Fans to 457 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 5: launch a merchandise collection, rep the fof logo and more 458 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 5: Marlins inspired apparel.

I tried to say this on 465 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 3: the broadcast the other day the best way that I could, 466 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 3: and we can talk about other guys. He is coming 467 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 3: off major reconstructive injury surgery to his elbow. It is 468 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 3: very unicornish for guys to snap out of that and 469 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 3: immediately pick up where they left off. And obviously you 470 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 3: can see the issues in twenty twenty three after undergoing 471 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 3: surgery that ended his entire twenty twenty four season that 472 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 3: he works very hard to come back from. And I 473 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 3: do think if they were in any position last September, 474 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 3: you have seen him pitch. 475 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: Now, He's gonna be okay. He's healthy. Number one on 476 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: his stuff is there. He will be fine. 477 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 3: Max Meyer was up and down last year as they 478 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 3: protected the young man. Did he have a great season? 479 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 3: It was okay, got off to a great start, went 480 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 3: to Trip Lake, came back and it wasn't that good. 481 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 3: But he's finding his footing in the big leagues coming 482 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 3: off of major reconstructive surgery to his elbow two years ago. 483 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 3: Big picture about the pitching staff, I really don't have 484 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 3: a great answer for you. What I do know is, 485 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 3: obviously this is a very different pitching staff than what 486 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 3: the Marlins are accustomed to. They're obviously analytically driven. They're 487 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 3: very very heavy in that, which it's hard to also 488 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 3: dispute the analytics and the numbers in today's game, because 489 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 3: there's some unbelievable teams that rely heavily on analytics, the 490 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 3: Red Sox being one of them that pitched very very well. 491 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 3: That's short exactly, So again, a lot of that stuff 492 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 3: I think, I don't know. I think a lot of 493 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 3: that is still so foreign to some of these guys 494 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 3: that didn't have that before that they're they're also learning 495 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 3: on the fly. They are I guess what you want 496 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 3: to call it, readjusting to what they're trying to do here. 497 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 3: But I do think you're going to see once Sandy 498 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 3: really figures it out and Max is having a great 499 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 3: start to a season. Ryan Weathers comes back. I thought 500 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 3: Cabrera was a little bit better last night, and Uri 501 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 3: comes back. That's a better and no disrespect to anybody 502 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 3: else on the pitching staff right now, that's a better 503 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 3: five man rotation in the next four to six weeks 504 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 3: than the one that you started the season with. 505 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: Those other guys will absolutely be a part of this thing. 506 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 3: Those five guys are not going to be in the 507 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 3: rotation starting on June and fifteenth through the rest of 508 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 3: the way. 509 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: People get hurt, they need to miss time. They're going 510 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: to be careful with some of these guys. I don't know. 511 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 3: Maybe they go to a six man when Uri comes. 512 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe they will. It might not be 513 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 3: the worst idea in the. 514 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: World that maybe they'll do that. 515 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 3: So the pitching, it's obviously been obscure because for so 516 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 3: long we've seen really good pitching and the frustration was, Gosh, 517 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 3: they can't score enough runs to win games. Now they're 518 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 3: scoring the runs, but they're not pitching well. I know 519 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 3: they're working tirelessly on the stolen base situation. That has 520 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 3: been maybe the biggest issue because it's putting so much 521 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 3: stress on guys when you walk her allow a single, 522 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 3: it feels like they're immediately on second. 523 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: That's stressful. 524 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 3: Now you're working out of the stretch, you're worried about 525 00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 3: a run or you're missing you know, location on a hit. 526 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: It's getting hit all of a sudden, they score a run. 527 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 3: Then you're dealing with the guy on first who tries this. 528 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 3: It feels to me like, just in my own bubble, 529 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 3: you could see where the stress is and if they 530 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 3: can start to limit some of that the walks, obviously 531 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 3: they've walked too many guys. 532 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: This is not rocket science. 533 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 3: I mean, you feel like if they could limit the walks, 534 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 3: figure out a way to limit some of the stolen bases, 535 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 3: which is going to require some of these guys to 536 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 3: be quicker to the plate and the catchers to be 537 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 3: a little better, that the pitching will be better. 538 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 1: It's been a big. 539 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 3: Issue for Sandy right he was working tirelessly the other 540 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 3: day in his live bullpen with runners on base. That's 541 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 3: that's totally foreign in Major League Baseball. But that's also 542 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 3: what makes this coaching staff a little different. The one 543 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 3: thing that I will say it doesn't frustrate me, but 544 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 3: the irony in it as I promise you, if the 545 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 3: Dodgers were implementing some of the same processes the Marlins were, 546 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 3: and they were doing these live bullpens before games with 547 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 3: runners on base and doing it on the game mound, 548 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 3: it would be seen as revolutionary throughout baseball and unbelievable. 549 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: They've done it again. 550 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 3: But the Marlins do it, and it's like, well, what 551 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 3: are they doing down there? 552 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 1: Time out? 553 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 3: If any other big market, big money team was doing it, 554 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 3: and the article would. 555 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: Be look at what they're doing, Look at what they're 556 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: doing to make them so. 557 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 4: Good, Like it's free training. They're doing live VP on 558 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 4: the first day of camp. 559 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,479 Speaker 3: If anybody else was doing that, I promise you, the 560 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 3: article is look at them go. 561 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: Here they go again, this hang on tight, here we go. 562 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 4: Well, the ydows something we don't get. 563 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: I thought it was. 564 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 4: Kevin and I both thought it was interesting. They won 565 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 4: live VP action and then they would only throw seven 566 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 4: pigeons their gratefully gave yous. It's just a strange. 567 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I don't if this is not 568 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: in a bad way. 569 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 3: I don't understand all of it. But they're also way 570 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 3: smarter than I am when it comes to this stuff. 571 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 3: They're not, so I think they're trying different things which 572 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 3: might be unique throughout baseball, but there is a reason 573 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 3: behind all of it. They're not just throwing darts at 574 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 3: a dartboard in a dark room like there is a reason. 575 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 3: There is metrics and data to back up everything that 576 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 3: they're trying to do, whether it's the vault lead or whatever. 577 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 3: This other stuff is right, but there's a reason for that. 578 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 4: So the last thing I lost before Kevin has this 579 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 4: last one is there's your baseball guy, right. Traditionally, is 580 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 4: there such thing as too much analytics? 581 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 3: So to answer your question, no, I think there's too 582 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 3: much in how you just use it, right, So I 583 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 3: think I don't. I think you can never have too 584 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 3: much information. I think that's fair to say information is great, 585 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 3: More information the marrier. If you just have more information 586 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 3: just in your life, you're just probably gonna be better off. 587 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: I think this is just how I feel about it. 588 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 3: I think there's a perfect blend somewhere between managing and 589 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 3: coaching with your gut and your feel and instinct and 590 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 3: blending the analytics. And I do think Clayton has done 591 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 3: some of that, I really really do. But I think 592 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 3: to answer your question, like, I don't think you can 593 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 3: ever have too much information. I think how you use 594 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 3: it sometimes can maybe be too much. But this coaching staff, 595 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 3: and I've talked to them about this, they're very cognizant 596 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 3: of trying not to overwhelm these guys that have never. 597 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: Been privy to a lot of this before. It's not 598 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: like they're just putting a binder and it's like schoolwork 599 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: every day. Hey, you have homework tonight. 600 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 3: No, Like the information is like picked apart and it's digestible. 601 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 3: But again, a lot of this stuff is new to 602 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 3: a lot of these guys. So so no, I think 603 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 3: to answer your question, no, but there's so much information. 604 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 3: I think you need to be very careful with how 605 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 3: you use it, which I think is fair. 606 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 2: I want to ask you to go back to the pitching. 607 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: How much do you think it's mental with a couple 608 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 2: guys like Sandy maybe on a pitch limit, I don't know, 609 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 2: do you think it's that? And even with Edward with 610 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 2: the bases, you know, guys on bas like, how much 611 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 2: do you think they're thinking about that? Maybe Sandy even saying, 612 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 2: oh man, I got a couple pitches left. 613 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. It's a good question. 614 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 3: Like from the physical side of it, I think it's 615 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 3: pretty reasonable and rational to suggest, like, hey, if you 616 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 3: walk somebody or allow a base hit, it's not the 617 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 3: end of the world. But what's happening is they're immediately 618 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 3: taking second I just think that just becomes stressful. I 619 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 3: can only imagine that constantly pitching when you're in trouble 620 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 3: in your back is against the wall. 621 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: That's stressful. 622 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 3: It's something that edber Cabrera has dealt with his entire career. 623 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 3: He gets in these huge jams. It feels like, in 624 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 3: the last couple of years is slowly starting to figure 625 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 3: out how to extricate himself from those situations without having 626 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 3: to be removed after allowing seven runs. But it's a 627 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 3: fair question. I don't have an answer. 628 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. 629 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 3: I can't pretend to know that if it's more mental 630 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 3: than physical, I don't know. I mean, I think they're 631 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 3: going to be fined, Like I thought. The big thing 632 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,959 Speaker 3: that Clayton mccullis that really registered me in spring training, 633 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 3: and I think it applies to veterans and young kids. 634 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 3: What they're looking to do with every single one of 635 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 3: these players. This year is make them five percent better. 636 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 3: I remember he said that. I remember I think from 637 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 3: the start of spring training to now, I think a 638 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 3: lot of those guys have made progress. Again, you can 639 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 3: nit pick certain areas of their game where you could 640 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 3: say they've regressed, but I promise you can go nit 641 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 3: pick certain areas of all these guys games where they've progressed, 642 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 3: which is like, Okay, we're all getting a little bit better. 643 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 3: If you find and I think you're going to see 644 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,479 Speaker 3: by the end of the season, whether it's Sandy as 645 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 3: a veteran or a young kid and a rookie like 646 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 3: August Tine Ramirez, you'll be able to look back at 647 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 3: the beginning of May the end of April and say, dang, 648 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 3: like that player is better now than they were. And 649 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 3: that's not just because they're showing up to the ballpark 650 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 3: every day and just because they're better after thirty games 651 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 3: or one hundred and twenty games than they were after thirty. 652 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 3: It's collectively the front office and this staff and this 653 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 3: manager working tirelessly every day to try to put these 654 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 3: guys in the right position to succeed. The one other 655 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 3: thing I love that this coaching staff does it's generally 656 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 3: not opinion based. In fact, I would say it's never 657 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 3: opinion based. And what they've said is what we do 658 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 3: is present facts. This is where this has gone wrong 659 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 3: in your career. This is just a fact. We can't 660 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 3: argue that this is where you've had problems. But what 661 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 3: we're going to do now is we're going to try 662 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 3: to help you fix that. So if they can do 663 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 3: that a little bit with everybody and say factually, this 664 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 3: is where you've had problems in your career. Like I'm 665 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 3: sure they went to Kyle Stowers and said you were 666 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 3: susceptible to high fastballs. We all saw last year a 667 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 3: ton of swinging miss. Well what has he done this year? 668 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 3: Game one of the season, he goes up and gets 669 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 3: a high fastball, gangs it down the right field line 670 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 3: for a game winning walk off. 671 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: Mason Miller right like that, there's progress, there's tangible progress, 672 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: right all right? 673 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 2: Well, last one before you wrap up, who's one name 674 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 2: on this scene that not many people are talking about 675 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 2: that you think deserves a little more recognition. Could be reliever, 676 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 2: position player, a starter, and we'll wrap it up there. 677 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 3: First guy that immediately just came to mind is Anthony Veneziana. 678 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 3: There's only one lefty in the bullpen. It feels like 679 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 3: he's using every game and I don't know how they're 680 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 3: doing it. Yeah, and they can. He continues to get 681 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 3: guys out. So tip of the cap to Anthony Veneziana. 682 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 3: I think he's spent great. I'm trying to think another 683 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 3: guy that I would shot out immediately be Nick Fourtys. 684 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 3: It's stunk when he got hurt because he is whacking 685 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 3: the tar out of the baseball and every time he 686 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 3: swings the bat like he barrels it up. 687 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: He's hitting it hard. 688 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,479 Speaker 3: Yesterday he was one for three or something in his 689 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 3: return or whatever it was. Yeah, Liam Hicks has been 690 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 3: a nice surprise. I really don't want to do every player, 691 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 3: but I'm honestly thinking about it now as I just 692 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 3: think about on the diamond. Liam Hicks, for a kid 693 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 3: that's never played above double A, has held his own 694 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 3: in the major leagues. Eric Wagman, I think has been 695 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 3: a nice surprise. He was riding a twelve game hitting streak. 696 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 3: He seemingly finds a way to get a hit, and 697 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 3: he's a platoon guy that can play left or first. 698 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 4: Let's see here and one of the guys you mentioned 699 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 4: a lot of kel Stauers. 700 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: You just won nationally Player of the Week. Yeah. 701 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I feel like you don't even need 702 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 3: to bring him up because it's like that's a totally 703 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 3: different player player on the team. He has been the 704 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 3: best player on the team. Is it Max Meyer the 705 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 3: best per war But he's been a great surprise by 706 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 3: the way I'm trying to think, you know who. I've 707 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 3: been so pleased by just the growth and development as 708 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 3: a human being as Dane Meers. 709 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: Oh, we talked about the other when I shouted you out. 710 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 3: That was that was that was that was that To 711 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 3: see that kid end his season last year with a 712 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 3: lifetime of opportunity in front of him because he got 713 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 3: ticked off and kicked a can or whatever he did 714 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 3: in Cincinnati when he was going to be the everyday 715 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 3: center fielder to have the recognition to be like, man, 716 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 3: I just made a really dumbss state because I have 717 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 3: no idea if I'm gonna get this chance again in 718 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 3: the major leagues to see him do that and to 719 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 3: tell him, tell you what he did, Like, I just 720 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 3: want to help this team win. 721 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: He's in a really good place, so I don't know. 722 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's more players. 723 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 4: But before you wrap it up, Kevin, we have the 724 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 4: fans want to notice.
