1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,880 Speaker 1: They're attempting to be the Rays. You want to know 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: what the Marlins have that the Rays don't have two 3 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: World Series Craig, So why do they want to be 4 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 1: the Rays? Why can't they just be the Marlins? 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 2: Here we go, Craig Mish joining us, always making us 6 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 2: look bad with the background there, Craig. Great to have 7 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 2: you on. You can follow Craig at Craig Mish if 8 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 2: you're listening later it's m I s h. You can 9 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 2: hear him on sports Grid, also part of Harold Sports Craig. 10 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 2: Great to Greg. 11 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: And where is that is that Lauderdale? That's not Miami, 12 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: you're not. 13 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 3: That's clearly Miami, right, Yeah, good call. So I live 14 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 3: in Hollywood, which is in between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. 15 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: I did. 16 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 3: I did spend a lot of time in Miami more 17 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 3: or less grew up there. But yeah, now I'm like 18 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 3: in in between there, so that I think that I 19 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 3: think that is like in the Aventura area. 20 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, he's living that Hollywood lifestyle, near the scene. 21 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: Him and Mike Napoli, him and Mike Napoli, or near 22 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: the horses right in Hallan. Yeah, that's right. 23 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: All right. 24 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: So Craig. 25 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: We're gonna have some fun here. We're gonna try to 26 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: obviously spin a little bit of positivity into what it's 27 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: about to begin here for the Marlins, let's hit the storylines. 28 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 2: Fancy little front end, all right, ten minutes, four topics, 29 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 2: perpetual rebuilds, they tore it down again. New manager who 30 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: is Clayton McCullough. Coming from a very very winning atmosphere. 31 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: So that's a good sign. Can the Marlins turn themselves 32 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 2: into the race? Huge, huge question mark, but also massive goal, right. 33 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: That is why Peter Bendix is here. They said, can 34 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 2: you do that here? It's very close Tampa to Miami, 35 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 2: and that includes a little Norby and Stours conversation and 36 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: then pitching Haven Marlin's, you know, looking for some starting pitching. 37 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: We had Lancelin on the show yesterday who said they 38 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: haven't called, so it'd be cool if they call called 39 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: him or other veterans for a little depth for that 40 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: starting rotation. Okay, so let's start with the overall outlook here. 41 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: Sandille Contrey's coming back. But since he's pitched Craig, he's 42 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 2: missing some friends. What happened? 43 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 3: Well, they started off the season the worst start I 44 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 3: can ever remember in the history of the Marlins franchise, 45 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 3: and you know, Peter Bendix, the president of the Marlins 46 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 3: at that time, who was hired, recognized that very early 47 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 3: on in the season and decided at that point he 48 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 3: didn't believe they would make the playoffs. Traded Luis Raia, 49 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 3: as everybody else got traded in July, and then everybody 50 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 3: who was you know, sort of left over from a veterans' 51 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: point of view, was traded this offseason. So, as you said, Scott, 52 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 3: the goal is to do things very differently, and as 53 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 3: we've seen in the off season, you can hear a 54 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: pin drop. Has been very, very quiet, quietest offseason I 55 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 3: can ever remember, and I go back to nineteen ninety 56 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 3: three because I've lived here for a long time. So yeah, 57 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 3: their goal is to draft, to develop internal structure, infrastructure, 58 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,399 Speaker 3: data analytics, all of the things that some people love 59 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 3: and some people hate that we love to debate about. 60 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 3: That's the direction the Marlins are going. And so Sandy 61 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 3: will start opening Day, He'll start against Paul Skeens. I 62 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 3: think it's the best pitching matchup in baseball that day. 63 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 3: What happens after that, I don't know. 64 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: Scott. 65 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 3: But that'll be a great day. 66 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 4: I mean, they put in Clayton McCullough. He's done nothing 67 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 4: but winning in LA. But is there a chance is 68 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 4: there an opportunity for a manager to help an offense 69 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 4: that lost Jake Berger and was already in the bottom 70 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 4: of the league in stats, Because normally a manager comes in, 71 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 4: you're like, ah, the way he used the bullpen when 72 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 4: he was over at this team, it could really help. 73 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 4: But and Clayton McCullough helped the offense. 74 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: Well, Eric, look, I mean their offense was dreadful last year. 75 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 3: I mean, I honestly don't know how much worse it 76 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 3: could possibly be. I mean, people forget that even with 77 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 3: Jake Berger and with Jazz Chisholm, and with Luis Rias 78 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 3: for a couple of months and Jesus Sanchez and all 79 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: of the names that they don't have anymore, they were 80 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 3: still one of the worst offenses in baseball. And that 81 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 3: even goes back to their playoff season two. So yes, 82 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 3: he's got a very tall task ahead of him with 83 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: this new hidden group that is there. You know, a 84 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 3: lot of data analytics and new ways to view things 85 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 3: in terms of course statistical analysis and war and expected war. 86 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: I mean this is just a new day, So I 87 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 3: mean McCullough from all indications, is very much online Eric 88 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 3: with the way that the organization sees data and wants 89 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 3: to implement it in the future from the major league 90 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: to the minor league levels. They've basically wiped out all 91 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: of their minor league coaches too, So this is going 92 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 3: to be integrated from the bottom all the way to 93 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 3: the top. And whether or not it works remains to 94 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 3: be seen. But that's the attempt. 95 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: Speaking of the attempt, they're attempting to be the Raise. 96 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: Peter Bendix came over and he wants to make him 97 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: the Raise. You want to know what the Marlins have 98 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: that the Rays don't have two World Series Craig, So 99 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: why do they want to be the Rais? Why can't 100 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: they just be the Marlins? Why does every smallish market, 101 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: even though Miami's a big market, want to be the Raise? 102 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: Why can't they just why can't Peter Bendix come over 103 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: from the Rays and I know he's going to put 104 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: his own spin on it, but again, Marlins, every team 105 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: wants to be the Let's be the Raise. Let's be 106 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: the Raise. Let's be the Raise. Marlins have won twice. 107 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: The Marlins have never or the race. The Rays have 108 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: never won any times. So how about we just continue 109 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: to do what we were doing building because they had 110 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: skipstre Marker, they had a nice team. Why do they 111 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: want to start completely over from scratch and become the 112 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: Rays from the start? 113 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 4: Yeah? 114 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 3: AJ, Look, that's the question that I think a lot 115 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: of fans in South Florida have. They look back and 116 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 3: they see they won the World Series in nineteen ninety seven, 117 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 3: They see they wanted it in two thousand and three, 118 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 3: made the postseason in the twenty twenty season, and then 119 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 3: you remember a couple of years ago with Skip there 120 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 3: at the Helm, they made it too. But generally, AJ, 121 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 3: all of those seasons in between were pretty horrible and 122 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 3: they would like to have it a little bit more 123 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 3: consistent now. Whether or not that leads to another World Series, 124 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 3: I think remains to be seen. But it is going 125 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 3: to be extremely tough for the Marlins to continue to 126 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 3: go about the way that they have been doing it, 127 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 3: even with those World Series seasons and compete in that 128 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 3: division with the talent that is around in that division, 129 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 3: money that's being spent there. So I think trying something 130 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 3: different and seeing if it works is definitely the way 131 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 3: that they're going to go by the way they tried 132 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 3: this several years ago when they bought the team and 133 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,239 Speaker 3: Derek Jeter took over and traded everybody that they had 134 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 3: in Stanton and Yelich and Zuna, all these players got 135 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 3: a lot of young players back in return. Really outside 136 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 3: of Sandi al contrad at the time, Zach Allen didn't 137 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 3: really get anything back in return for those players. So 138 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 3: here we go again. They're going to try it one 139 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: more time, but doing it in a different way again, 140 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 3: the way that the Rays have done it, you know. 141 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 3: Again remains to be seen if it'll work or not, 142 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 3: but that's the attempt. 143 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 4: Two best ways to improve the young pitching that you 144 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 4: have in a mire, in a you know, even in 145 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 4: a Yuri Perez type of way is to keep them healthy, 146 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 4: but also not overexpose them and put them around veterans. 147 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 4: So do they have a good recruiting chip in the 148 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 4: sense that they can tell a veteran, hey, come here, 149 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 4: recoup your value, gain value in this huge pitchers park, 150 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 4: or is it something that they're just gonna say, all right, 151 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 4: young guys, go ahead, play your game. 152 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 3: As far as pictures are concerned, I think they still 153 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 3: could potentially be in the market for one. It still 154 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 3: remains to be seen if they're going to pull the 155 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 3: trigger there. I don't know the answer to that. Maybe 156 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 3: a fifty to fifty shot, but I know that they 157 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 3: really like the first three pictures in that rotation with Sandy, 158 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 3: Ryan Weathers and as you see there, and Edward Caberra too. 159 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 3: Beyond that, as you said, Eric gets very much a 160 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 3: mystery so from behind the plate, as you guys know, yes, 161 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 3: I do think that they could use, as we would say, 162 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 3: a one year mercenary innings eat or someone along those lines. 163 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 3: They still have time, you know, spring training, even though 164 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 3: pictures and catchers are reporting. This is not unusual for 165 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 3: baseball at this time where guys do sign late February 166 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 3: and even into March. So I'm sure as the spring 167 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 3: goes on they'll sort of determine which direction they end 168 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 3: up going from there. But they're very content with the 169 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 3: first three that they have. And let's also not forget 170 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: at some point this season and by the way, I 171 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 3: know he said July, but I could see Yuri Perez 172 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 3: coming back sooner than that, and he's a superstar in 173 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 3: the making, So maybe June for him as well. But yeah, 174 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 3: I mean, that's not a lot of innings from the 175 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 3: previous season going into this season, and so they're gonna 176 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 3: have to figure out one way or the other. They 177 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 3: were starting anybody and everybody last year. 178 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: At the end, all right, Craig, last thing for you 179 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: to let you go. I don't know if you can 180 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,559 Speaker 1: see your background when we go to a one shot 181 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: of you, do you see the background of yourself? I 182 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: don't know if we can we kick his one shot 183 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: around your little square? Can you see that? What it is? No? 184 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: What am I missing? No? It's the statue? Can we 185 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: bring back the statue? The pleas and left you? I 186 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: know it's outside, but can we bring act I know 187 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: outside in the ballpark it was like the most Miami 188 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: thing ever. If you go to Miami, expect dart Deco. 189 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: They went. They had the green walls, the aquarium. It 190 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: was cool. Now they have the dark blue walls, no statue, 191 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: and they have I don't know what they have exactly, 192 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: have a roof that works forks. 193 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 3: It's a beautiful stadium. But yeah, a j I don't 194 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 3: think that's coming back. You know, they spent millions of 195 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,119 Speaker 3: dollars to move that thing out, by the way, millions dollars. 196 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: Right, they could have bought her like a quality starting pitcher. 197 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 3: For that could have got blow. 198 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 2: I think that, you know, that's right, that's right. 199 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 3: Uh But but look, I mean some people loved it, 200 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 3: some people hated it, and you know, a lot a 201 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 3: lot has happened in between then and now. But I 202 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 3: don't see them moving at a second time. By the way, 203 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: every day at three oh five pm, the thing goes off. 204 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 3: I don't know if you know that. Three oh five, Yeah, 205 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 3: every day. 206 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,599 Speaker 2: Wow, makes sense. Three oh five that's the air for 207 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: anyone wonder. I do know well, and I do think 208 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 2: it was super petty, okay, because I know Derek wanted to, 209 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 2: you know, kind of had his little battle with David 210 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 2: Sampson and took it out. But not worth the money. 211 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: That money could have gone elsewhere, and it certainly did 212 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: not affect wins and losses on the field. I am 213 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 2: with aj. I liked it. Derek's tenure was a failure. 214 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 2: So anyway, Craig, great to have you on. Appreciate the time. 215 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 2: Everyone go give Craig a follow. He is the guy 216 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 2: dialed in on the Marlins at Craig Mish. Good to 217 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 2: see you, Craig, Great to see you guys, Thanks for 218 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 2: having me. All right, here we go. This is actually 219 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: a good point in our chat from Mark. Behind the 220 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,239 Speaker 2: scenes here. Miami Metro Area's second largest in the Southeast, 221 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 2: ninth largest in the US, Miami Metro Area largest economy, 222 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 2: urban economy in Florida. Not a small market, just small minded. 223 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 2: You know. It actually makes Miami feel small with the 224 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: way that the Marlins operate. I think they're bad pr 225 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 2: for the city because you look at them if you 226 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: live somewhere else and you're like, oh, Miami must be 227 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 2: like this tiny little nothing with not much of a 228 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 2: booming economy. I mean, they can't even afford to sign 229 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: a player for the entire offseason and they have to 230 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: rebuild after one year of the playoffs. Poverty, poverty franchise. Man, 231 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 2: only there was more action in that area to be 232 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 2: able to support the team. Oh wait, there's so much 233 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: money in that area. They just can't figure out the 234 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 2: game plan. The game plan is obviously they need someone 235 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 2: else to run it. But you can't control that in sports. 236 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: So poor Marlins fans have to keep suffering. I watched 237 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 2: many Marlins games during my time living in Miami. Anyway, 238 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 2: quick quote from kode I Senga while we have a minute. 239 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 2: He did not talk to Roki Sasaki during his recruitment process, 240 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 2: already was decided where he was going. He said he 241 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 2: thinks the weather in LA is a big factor for 242 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: Japanese players and the reason why the Mets haven't added 243 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: another top Japanese free agent. This is a great quote. 244 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 2: We need to build a roof. He's right, guys, especially 245 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 2: if you're Rokie aj Roki was going to sign for 246 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 2: about the same money anywhere. He already wanted to join 247 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: his friends in LA and then he does a little 248 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 2: weather check with La versus New York. He's like, wait, 249 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to pitch in rain outs and get 250 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: all screwed up and rain delays. 251 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: No thanks, most as my kids would say, boomer thing 252 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: I've ever heard. Okay, because are you kidding me? Haroki, 253 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: Kroota or not? Coroda? Sorry. Tanaka had no problem signing 254 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: in New York and did great. Matsuzaka went to Boston. 255 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: He did fine. No mo, when you got to Boston 256 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: he did fine. I just think this is a cop out. 257 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: This is a this is this is a terrible take 258 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: by code. I singa. You play in cityfield, which is new. 259 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: They're not putting a roof on it anytime soon because 260 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: Steve Cohen doesn't have another billion to spend. I don't 261 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 1: think after you spend almost a billion on one soda 262 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: and all the players he's brought in. But this is 263 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: just this is just a bad take. Like, you play 264 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: in the field, you play in and you deal with it. 265 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: That's it. I mean, yeah, of course every team would 266 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: like to play in a don't, but you know what, 267 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: you don't because baseball's meant to play outside and in 268 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: New York, they want their summers. They want to enjoy 269 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: their summers, so you got to put up with a 270 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: bad month here and there. I don't think this has 271 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: effected anything. I just think this is a bad take.
