00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,280

00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: for that particular day, all season long and what a

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: weekend it was for Miami and as recording this, let's

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: start off with a little news that broke from the

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: Marlins in terms of signing contract extensions. One player that

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: did sign a contract contensive with Miami over the week

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: was Richard Blyir. It came out on Monday that Richard

11
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 2: Blyer signed a two year, six million dollars deal, reported

12
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: by our friend Danny Alvarez from an extra base. Richard

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: Blyder is coming off a great twenty twenty one. He

14
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: finished three to two two nine five ERA, played in

15
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: sixty eight games and through fifty eight innings with a

16
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: whip just shy under one two point nine to eight whip.

17
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: They all pitch from Blyer.

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: Is called strike three outside corner.

19
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: Blyer does a great job. He is also one of

20
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: the best in baseball when the terms being a groundball pitcher,

21
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 2: hitting up bringing pitches that turn out to be ground

22
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: balls get out at Ever since coming to Miami in

23
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, he has performed very well two eight nine

24
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: ERA seventy one innings pitch. Just getting him for two

25
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: more years and six million dollars, I don't think it's

26
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: gonna break the bank, and it's good signing keeping a

27
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: guy at the that the front office likes, the coaches like,

28
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: the fan base likes, and also in the in the clubhouse,

29
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,919
Speaker 2: in the locker room, looks like he's a world respected,

30
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,919
Speaker 2: a great guy to being around it and keeping someone

31
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: like that just for two more years on three million

32
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: dollars a year, that's perfect. I love the deal for Miami,

33
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: and I also love the deal for Richard Blikers. He

34
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: is a great guy. Don't give me money, I'll spend it.

35
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: I'm the only if there is one downside is that

36
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: he's currently thirty four, about to turn thirty five pretty soon,

37
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 2: so that means he'll probably be thirty seven, maybe turning

38
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: thirty seven when the contract ends, And that could be

39
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: a little if when you have three million dollars in

40
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: a guy who's about to closer to forty than he

41
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: is to thirty. But you know, if he continues to

42
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 2: pitch like the way he does, being you know, fifty

43
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: innings eira under three. I think that's an A plus

44
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: deal for Miami, and I think this is I'll stop

45
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 2: in really in the right direction for keeping that bullpen

46
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: because New Moorlands du need help in the bullpen anyway

47
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: they can get it, and getting someone like Rich Buyer

48
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: keeping him in the bullpen is great for Miami and

49
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: also great for Miami. Wow, none other than Max Smyer.

50
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: What a pitching performance he had for Miami on Monday.

51
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: It was incredible just to go Hiss sat four innings, pitched,

52
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: zero hits, zero ones, zero walks, and five strikeouts. Yes

53
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: you heard that, five strikeouts in four innings. He was amazing.

54
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: It was just really incredible to see what Max Smyer did.

55
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: And spring training and going up against the guys who

56
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: have major league service time veterans, he has been improving

57
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: almost seemlessly in terms of each time he goes up

58
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: a league. I should say, because when he went up

59
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: to the Ballet almost instantly he performed amazing and got

60
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: a nod to the All Star Features Games. Now he's

61
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: in spring training for Miami and he's striking out guys

62
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: with major league experience.

63
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: It just fun to get out there and play with

64
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: all the big league guys. I was a little nervous

65
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: going out, but you know, I feel like it was

66
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: good butterflies for me.

67
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: I always want to have those I can. I can

68
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: never get too comfortable.

69
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: So it was fun getting out there in.

70
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: His last It's really incredible to see what he's been doing.

71
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: I love it. I love to see this from Max Meyer.

72
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: And you know, just to go a little bit in

73
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: terms of that game, you know, the only pitcher that

74
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: pitched more than two innings, Max Schmeyer, just really crazy

75
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: to see about just how he performed. He only faced

76
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: twelve batters, He threw only forty three pitches in twenty

77
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 2: eight where then were strikes. That really levels out to

78
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: just ten pitches per inning, multiple one two, three innings

79
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 2: for for Max Meyer. Just really great to see what

80
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: he did. And then even on the offensive side, Miami

81
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: played pretty good. Miami was not in the wrong in

82
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 2: almost any sense. You know, they did get five hits,

83
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: they did win the game against the Mets three nothing.

84
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: They got run off Max Scherzer, which is always good

85
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: to see. But for Miami, I think this is a

86
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: performance that they should be proud of a team and

87
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: Max Meyer should look at this as But if you're

88
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: around the middle of the summer and he's in Triple A,

89
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: pitching under to e, a whip under one, multiple strikeout games,

90
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 2: not giving up pitts, not giving up major runs, I

91
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 2: think the guy is bringing him almost you know, sooner

92
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: rather than later. And also this can also benefit Miami

93
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,799
Speaker 2: in terms of trading. Maybe just boots his trade value.

94
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,679
Speaker 2: They seen him performing against spring training. I don't spring training,

95
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: but it's something to look, uh, to look fondly over,

96
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: especially four ding there's a lot of innings and just

97
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,119
Speaker 2: for Miami trading. Maybe I don't know, someone like Brian

98
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: Redlves like that would be great. But and honestly, who knows,

99
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: maybe somewhat sees maybe they want to trade maybe a

100
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: center field right now fielder. Maybe they want to in

101
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: terms of trading for someone like a Brian Redolves. Maybe

102
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 2: they see Max Meyer as a big part of that trade. Peach.

103
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: Maybe they don't need as much as as they would

104
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: want before the lockout. Maybe before the lockout was Max

105
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 2: Meyer and four more guys. Now maybe Max Meyron, two

106
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: more guys, three more guys, I think this really helps Miami.

107
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,559
Speaker 2: I know it's one start, but I think it's gonna

108
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: be one of many great start to received from Max Meyer.

109
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: And I think he has all the potential in the

110
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: world to be an ace for them Morlands. So that

111
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: that does it for me. Two great things have opening

112
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 2: this week. We had Max Meyer getting four innings, four

113
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: really great innings, four no hit innings, and then resigning

114
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: Richard Blyer on a two year, six million dollar deal,

115
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: which I think is really great for Miami. But that

116
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: does it for me. Make sure to go like just
