Speaker 2: and you're watching Fish on First Live. Fish on First Live,

13
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 2: one week to go in this Marlin season, and were

14
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 2: not even full screen for this one because we are

15
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: scoreboard watching in the final week of the twenty twenty

16
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: five regular season. It's not for draft position. It is

17
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: for the National League wild card spot. The third and

18
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: final spot is still a mathematical possibility for the Marlins.

19
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: They've completed a perfect week sweeps of the Rockies and

20
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: now the Texas Rangers, and we are breaking it down.

21
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: Presented by About the Fans. Promo code scrolling across the

22
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: bottom of the screen, I am Elissman with Isaaca Zoot,

23
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: Alex Kratchik, Kevin Burrall checking in on the heels of

24
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: another highly contested game that wasn't all that pretty, but

25
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: the Marlins pull it out, not getting a ton of

26
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: style points. But this is one of the hottest stretches

27
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: you have this franchise has ever had. They are ten

28
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: and one if you use them out a little bit,

29
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: ten and one in their last eleven games, and as

30
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: Kevin famously said a couple of years ago, the vibes

31
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: are high.

32
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: And that's the way I would put it.

33
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: They are playing with house money already this deep into

34
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 2: the season, but trying to chase that impossible dream of

35
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: making it into October. Isaac, how can you even wrap

36
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: your mind around the fact that this team is still

37
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: in it? Still in it with six games left in

38
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: the season.

39
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 4: It feels like it's been a tale of two different seasons.

40
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: That Martins got up to that dreadful start where rock

41
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 4: bottom hit probably in June when they were swept by

42
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 4: the Colorado Rockies, and then they go on this really

43
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 4: hot stretch leading into the deadline. They sweet the New

44
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 4: York Yankees coming out of the deadline and you're saying, oh,

45
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 4: holy shit, and then they really sort of level out

46
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: a little bit, and then we think, Okay, it's time

47
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 4: to start thinking about next year. The Marlins, even basically

48
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 4: the way they managed the games following that series, almost

49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 4: started saying making that clear. And then here we are

50
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 4: in early to mid September and the Marvels are four

51
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 4: games back of the third wildcard spot. Sweep the Rockies.

52
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 4: For a little payback, they swee the Texas Rangers, effectively

53
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 4: ending their season. So many things had to go right

54
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: form to be in this situation. They had a lot

55
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 4: of help in the New York Mets, who basically collapsed

56
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 4: them for the first sess since April fifth. They do

57
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 4: not control their own destiny, so it's been you got

58
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 4: to give credit to both sides there, and Miam's got

59
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 4: a really tough test here.

60
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: You could say that Phillies.

61
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: Don't really have much to play for, but they do

62
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 4: go to Philadelphia for three tough games at Citizens Bank Park,

63
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 4: and then the Mets, who really just feels like they

64
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 4: have their heels against the wall, they come to Miami

65
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: for the final three games of the regular season. It

66
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 4: should be a lot of fun, but no there's no

67
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: realistic way that I can wrap my head around how

68
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 4: the heck this is happening, because it's just surreal and now,

69
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 4: all of a suddenly, I think it was two days ago,

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: the Marins just had to start calling phisihes from the dugout.

71
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: It's a random time to do it. So they say, anyway, yeah,

72
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: that is a perfect transition, Crotchet, because I know you're

73
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: playing close attention to that development which started on Friday.

74
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: This is the first series where one hundred percent of

75
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: the pitches called from the dugout. As far as I

76
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: can tell, there was a little bit of a dress

77
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: rehearsal on Wednesday in Colorado, but this is when they

78
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: foldly made that change in a way that no other

79
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 2: major league team does. The way that was took a

80
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: lot of public criticism coming into it, and the way

81
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: that they are essentially delegating that responsibility to the coaches

82
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: instead of the catchers, but went pretty well about as

83
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: well as they could have expected. That first game, well,

84
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: just one run in the first nine innings, and then

85
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: today just two runs. Yesterday allowed just three runs against

86
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: a desperate Texas Rangers team. So like for people that

87
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: didn't know there was a difference. They probably wouldn't have

88
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: been aware that anything unusual was going on for a

89
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: team that needed to win every single game to even

90
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: stay in it. They throw this curveball, no pun intended,

91
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: into the mix and it worked out beautifully. They pitched

92
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 2: extremely well this weekend.

93
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, for the most part, it looks like a pretty

94
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,239
Speaker 3: smooth process. There is only really two things that stood

95
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: out to me in a negative way, which was, you know,

96
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 3: it happens even when even when coaches aren't calling pitches

97
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: from the dugout. In the ninth inning on Friday, Liam

98
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: Hicks was kind of like giving the signal to hurry

99
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: up to alone like men on the in the dugout,

100
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: and they almost got a pitch clock violation. And then

101
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 3: Jake Berger, the hitter, for some reason, called the time

102
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: out of his own with like five seconds left, and

103
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 3: if he had just waited, he would have been awarded

104
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: a free ball. And then today Yury Perez got hit

105
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: with a pitchclock violation in large part because they couldn't

106
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 3: get these signal and in time. Other than that, everything

107
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: else seem pretty smooth. I mean, you could nitpick certain things.

108
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: I mean the Michael Peterson home run to Rowdie Tieles.

109
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 3: On Friday night, some people were saying, you know, too

110
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 3: many cutters being called. I think that we I'm hesitant

111
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: to criticize that too much, just because you don't know

112
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: what the exact scatter reports say on these guys. Uh,

113
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 3: Usually Peterson throws it's like fifty five forty five between

114
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 3: the fastball and the cutter, and it was kind of

115
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: inverse on Friday. He was throwing a lot of cutters.

116
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 3: But again, you don't know what the scout of reports

117
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 3: says on these hitters that they're facing. Maybe they are

118
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: weaker against cutters typically, just just the possibility. I don't know,

119
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: but that was really like the only blemish from this

120
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: from this whole series. Everything else looked pretty good. Starting

121
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: pitching looked good, and relief pitching looked really good. The

122
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 3: game that I personally covered on Friday and wrote the

123
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 3: recap for Lake Boker and Kay Gibson delivered the game

124
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 3: to the tenth inning or to the to the tenth

125
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 3: in and everything everything looked pretty smooth and didn't notice,

126
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 3: at least on the cameras, a whole lot of shakeoffs

127
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 3: and second opinions.

128
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's an example right there of how this works,

129
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: where as soon as if previous pitch gets delivered, the

130
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 2: catcher looks over to the dug out for the signs,

131
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: and Liam Hicks had that one situation where he's like

132
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: the sign and they got bailed out of that. Then

133
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: today there was one pitch clock violation that they were

134
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: able to overcome and didn't ultimately make a difference. I

135
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: think Yuri had it while he was in the game

136
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: where it led to an automatic ball because they didn't

137
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: decide on a pitch in time. So that's just one

138
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: little consequence of it. But other than that, yeah, you

139
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: wouldn't really know.

140
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 4: One where the other regardless said about sorry regard what

141
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 4: you said about Peterson though that that pitch call for

142
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 4: FERRARIRII tiles he has. It's been like obviously his fastball

143
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 4: is incredible and it plays really well lately late in

144
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 4: the season now too. And there was a time where

145
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 4: I forgot which about it. I think it was against

146
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 4: Toronto in that series where he was just throwing fastballs

147
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 4: right by hitters and then for some reason it with

148
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 4: head O and two he wouldn't just go back to

149
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 4: the heater. He was throwing cutters in weird situations. So

150
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,559
Speaker 4: I wonder how different the coaches calling is from when

151
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: Hicks and Augustine were calling pitches anyway, because I assume

152
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 4: they're pretty aligned anyway, you know, I don't think there's

153
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 4: a huge difference or discrepancy with you know, the sort

154
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 4: of strategy they go pitch wise. But yeah, that was

155
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 4: when I looked at that, when I saw that pitch

156
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 4: go over the fence of the shit, Yeah, that's gonna

157
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 4: be one that we circle, I will say.

158
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: So.

159
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: Admittedly I haven't looked at the player breakdowns for Saturday

160
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: and Sunday, but I know that on Friday, Kaid Gibson

161
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 3: and Lake Boker and Chance and Junk they were throwing

162
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 3: their usual repertoires, their usual ratios of pitches. So at

163
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: least for those three guys, everything looked to be pretty

164
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: much the same.

165
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 5: M H.

166
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: And that is right in the middle of that picture.

167
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 2: That is Likeman the assistant pitching coach at the bottom

168
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: for those that don't recognize him. For a guy that

169
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: would be almost completely anonymous until just a couple of

170
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: days ago, which is funny that they kind of made

171
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: it a big point of emphasizing that he was the

172
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: one sending the signals in that situation. I wish Kevin

173
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 2: was still on with us because specifically shout out to

174
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: George Soriano and how he did in this particular series.

175
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: He ends up closing out this final game because of

176
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: how heavily used several other relievers were in this series,

177
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: and then on Friday, he's the one that pitched two

178
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 2: innings in extras to win that one as well, including

179
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: one where I think was tied heading into the bottom

180
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 2: of the tenth, bottom of the eleventh and he had

181
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: no margin for error and he got through it. I

182
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: also wanted to expose myself because it was right before

183
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: this series that I pointed out that I don't get

184
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: why he's on the roster. He's had a terrible season

185
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: and people are very much aware of that, and era

186
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: entering this series that was north of nine for a

187
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: guy that last year also similarly struggled with this team.

188
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: A couple of years removed from being that really interesting

189
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: wild card piece of that bullpen in twenty twenty three,

190
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: he's just been Isaac. He's been one of the worst

191
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: pitchers in baseball the last couple of years, and yet

192
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: at this stage of the season. There Marlin's giving him

193
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: yet another opportunity. And finally these last couple of games,

194
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: especially today, very smoothly. I don't know exactly what it

195
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: is that they're looking for. I don't. I feel like

196
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: it's too late for Soriano to change anybody's minds in

197
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: terms of what his place on the team looks like

198
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 2: beyond this season. But they've had some great relievers that

199
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: have been blocked in the upper miners so that somebody

200
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: like Srianna can say in here and at least these

201
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 2: last couple of games, he absolutely validated his spot on

202
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: the roster.

203
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's always been the slider that it's been

204
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 4: what Miami has liked about this young guy. It's what

205
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 4: made him really successful in twenty twenty three. But you

206
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 4: mentioned the last two years he has just been an

207
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 4: awful relief pitcher, however way you slice it. Even his

208
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 4: recent stretch of success that he has had over his

209
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 4: last four games pitched, he's thrown five in a third innings,

210
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 4: he'll allow winner and run, but his fit is five

211
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 4: point two one is Thera compared to his one point

212
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 4: six y nine E ray. I was very surprised that

213
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 4: they did let him go out and try and close

214
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 4: his game up. But I think they recently they've seen

215
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: something different with Soriano. I haven't been able to put

216
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 4: a finger on it, and I'll have to ask for

217
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 4: during the next home stand that the Mets coming town.

218
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 4: But I can't understand how George Soriano has still been

219
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 4: up here over guys like Josh White and Actings and

220
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 4: high leverage believers that could definitely help this Marlins team

221
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 4: finish across the finish line in the back end of

222
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 4: the bullpen.

223
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: So now a quick check in on this wild card

224
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 2: race and the scoreboard watching here. The Marlins today proved

225
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: to seventy six and eighty. They are four games back

226
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: of the Mets and now four games back of the

227
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: Reds as well. The Mets and Reds are equally ahead

228
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: of them as we head into the final week of

229
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: the season. They're now tied with the Cardinals, and I

230
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 2: think they own the tiebreaker against Oh we'll see. I

231
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: think that tiebreaker still to be determined. The Giants have

232
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: pulled ahead laid in their game. If they hold on

233
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: to win these final couple of innings, then they'll still

234
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: be a game ahead of Miami. And the Diamondbacks very

235
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: much in control of their game. If they win, they're

236
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: still gonna be three games ahead. It's not that the

237
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: four games in six days isn't already a big obstacle,

238
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 2: but the fact that all these teams are either even

239
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: or ahead of the Marlins. That is why their playoff

240
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: odds are as tiny as they were entering today at

241
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: zero point one percent, and I think even if you

242
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: account for the results of today, that is barely budged

243
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: at all. They need to realistically, they need to win

244
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: out and get a little bit of health even beyond that,

245
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: so if they went out, that would be taking the

246
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: Mets out of the equation themselves. But also they need

247
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: things to go. They need the Reds to slip up.

248
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: The Reds very improbably just pulled off a four game

249
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: sweep of the Cubs. It's impossible to know these matchups,

250
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 2: and in terms of trying to trying to guess what's

251
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 2: actually a hard series or an easy series at this

252
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: stage of the season is totally impossible. Because the Mets

253
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: just lost the series at home against the Nats, and

254
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: any way you slice it, that's kind of in these

255
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: small samples, absolutely anything can happen. But the thing is,

256
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: the Marlins need so many things to happen simultaneously for

257
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 2: them to actually pull this off.

258
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll have to see.

259
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 2: You know what's funny.

260
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 4: I was thinking about the fact that it was reported

261
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 4: by Misch earlier that, you know, Thomas White and Robbie

262
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 4: Snelling they're gonna stay with Triple A just to contribute

263
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 4: to their playoff front jacksonvill Jumble Shrimp's playoff un that

264
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 4: begins on Tuesday. The Marlin's going to use them right now.

265
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 4: They're having a playoff run of their own right now.

266
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 4: What the heck are we prioritizing the Triple A Jumbo

267
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 4: Shrimp right now? I think the Mars were a little

268
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 4: bit closer. Maybe they have a different thought process with

269
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 4: those two young studs. Maybe Snelling they would have called

270
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 4: them out to help them get across, But I think

271
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 4: things are too unlikely for to change any trajectory there.

272
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: Yes, and in both cases, just to be clear, those

273
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: are guys not even on the forty man roster. That's

274
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: one of those big factors that Joey White into consideration.

275
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: Josh White, shutdown reliever. I'm pretty high on him, but

276
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: it's yeah, same situation, not even on the forty man

277
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 2: yet as a look at who is on the forty

278
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 2: man heading down the stretch. And so yeah, they're getting

279
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: a couple of reinforcements for this final week of the season.

280
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: And we talked enough about Eddie on the previous stream

281
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 2: and the uncertainty about what's going to happen, But he's

282
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: going to try to throw pitches in Philadelphia on Tuesday

283
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 2: against the Phillies. He is being reinstated from the IL

284
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 2: after having this relatively smooth ramp up from that elbow scare.

285
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. The guy we didn't talk about

286
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: last time was Conine Griffin. Conine seems all but it

287
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 2: hasn't been officially announced, but the expectation is that he's

288
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: going to be rejoining the team in Philly on Tuesday.

289
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 2: That's pretty poetic because that's the same place where he

290
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: suffered the injury in the first place. Crutch It, I

291
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 2: think that is where he hurt himself on that slide

292
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: in second base five months ago. A guy that was

293
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: in those very first weeks of the season made such

294
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: a positive impression on everybody. Looks like he was emerging

295
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: as an everyday outfielder, and this team, they have a

296
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: lot of outfield options, so I don't it's might not

297
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: necessarily feel the difference on the field in such a

298
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: small sample, but for him to make it back with

299
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: this team still alive without him, that's gonna be regardless

300
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: of what else, whether chaos goes on in this wild

301
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 2: card chase, simply having him back for the final few games,

302
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: I think that's that's gotta be one of the more

303
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: uplifting storylines for this final week.

304
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really great across the board. They've been getting

305
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: guys back quicker than we thought they would. Connor Normy

306
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: came back a little quicker than we thought he would.

307
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: The fact that Ryan Weathers is out there pitching. We'll

308
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 3: see about Edward Cabrera this week, and it's just great

309
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 3: because even if he's not quite where he was back

310
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: in April, just the fact that you can go into

311
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 3: the offseason knowing, Okay, the last game that I played,

312
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 3: I was healthy and everything was feeling good, as opposed

313
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: to the last time I was on a baseball field,

314
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 3: I got hurt. The last time I was on a

315
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: baseball field, something was wrong with my body. And then

316
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: just sitting on that for the last four months plus

317
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: six months of the off season. That's the same with

318
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 3: Ryan Weathers, Like the last pitch that I threw was

319
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 3: the pitch that I got injured on, and then you

320
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 3: just have to sit with that for six months over

321
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 3: the winter. So just the fact that they'll be able

322
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 3: to get some reps in before they go to the

323
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 3: off season. Also just the physical part of just you

324
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 3: don't have to sit around for all that time. You

325
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: can come in and play baseball for two or three

326
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 3: weeks and then get your arrested. So I think just

327
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 3: coming back, even if it's just for a week, would

328
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: be incredible for him.

329
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 4: I'm curious to know who you guys think. With Derek

330
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 4: Hill also expected to come back, Griff and Conine as well,

331
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 4: who are the corresponding moves?

332
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 5: So great questions?

333
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: Well, my question is why they will feel the need

334
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: to even bring back Hill, That's.

335
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: What I say.

336
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 4: But let's assume that they Let's start with Conine only,

337
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 4: who would be the corresponding move, Let's.

338
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: The same.

339
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 4: To be Troy.

340
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: They have so many outfielders out there. Troy is basically

341
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: it's funny. He's hitting almost as well as Conine was

342
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: early in the season. Of course, is a better defender

343
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: as a very big element to it, and I think

344
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: I feel like I think Troy's played too well to

345
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,719
Speaker 2: be sent down. I understand why you bring it up

346
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 2: because both left handed hitting, corner outfielders and stuff. If

347
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 2: you just go on merit. I mean, although he has

348
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: had a couple nice offensive moments since coming back from

349
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: his own injury, I feel like Dane Meyers would be

350
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: the one that is a little lower on the priority

351
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: list at the moment, either him or it's both him

352
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 2: and Weimar in a very similar bucket where their defense

353
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 2: is important, but it's a little it can be redundant

354
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 2: to have both of them at the same time. Dane

355
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 2: certainly has been a better player overall if you go

356
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 2: back the last couple seasons, whereas Weimer wasn't even in

357
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: the big leagues until about a month and a half ago.

358
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: And I don't know how you split hairs between them.

359
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 4: I also thought maybe Navaretto, but I think they like

360
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 4: and I think they like having a third catching option,

361
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 4: I think, and he's been hitting a little bit.

362
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: Honestly.

363
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 4: You had a really productive sacrifice flyer here in the

364
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 4: seventh or eighth inning today's ball game, after having a

365
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 4: single or the earlier innings he's actually been hitting. So

366
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't think he's an option anymore.

367
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 2: For so much of the season, these decisions are taking

368
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: care of themselves because somebody else gets hurt right when

369
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: somebody is about to come back. And now there's been

370
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: some of that. But now you've had guys emerge where

371
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 2: we started with Troy, and he's played. He's played a

372
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: little too well for you to send him down, it

373
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: feels like. And you can make the similar case for

374
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 2: somebody like Wimur who they didn't really expect much at

375
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: all from when they brought him up. And yeah, man.

376
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 4: Maybe it depends on who they're like the matchups they

377
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 4: have coming up pitching wise, they fade facing a lot

378
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 4: of lefties.

379
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 2: The next couple of pictures will face and Philly are

380
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 2: gonna be a lefties. It's gonna be Christopher Sanchez and

381
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 2: Jesis Lizardo. So it would be a time where I

382
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: don't think it would be a time where you'd think

383
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 2: that those right handed hitters between Wimer and Dane would

384
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: be especially Yeah, continue less. So it could be that

385
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: that again would till the scales that get against Troy

386
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: a little bit, given that Troy has been very strictly platooned.

387
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 2: They just do not let him face lefties at all,

388
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 2: even though he's done very well against righty's. So maybe

389
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: that's that's still a possibility, but it's it's a very

390
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 2: good problem to have ultimately.

391
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is word for word. I I before Sunday,

392
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, before Thursday's day game in Colorado, I asked

393
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 4: Clayton off the bread. You know, you can have a

394
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 4: really tough decisions to make with Hill and Co. Nine,

395
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 4: assuming they do it reinstate. Hill like, that's a great

396
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 4: problem to have, Isaac's They love to have this, and

397
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 4: it's just hasn't been an issue, like you said anyway,

398
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 4: it's sort of resolves itself or over the last couple

399
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 4: of years, not even just this season.

400
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be.

401
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 4: It'd be really unfortunate thinking about it today because he

402
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 4: was having a little bit of a tough day. Offensively,

403
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 4: he has played so well, including that two home run

404
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 4: game with the walk off winner on Saturday and just

405
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 4: hitting a home run yesterday. He's been really hitting power now,

406
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 4: more confidence, he's hitting over four hundred over his last

407
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 4: seven games. It'd be really tough and it just show

408
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 4: you the death of this team. But it also be

409
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 4: really tough at how really unfair this business can be.

410
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 4: Where you don't know how Cornine's gonna be. You know,

411
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 4: you could argue that Trolley would be better than Coornin

412
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 4: for this next week, but you know, it's tough.

413
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: It's a tough business, and we should touch on this

414
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 2: for people curious about Sandy in particular. We didn't know

415
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: exactly how they were going to aligne this rotation. But

416
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 2: Edward coming back pushes everybody else back a day, which

417
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 2: means that Sandy is his start, is going to come

418
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: up against the Mets. Well, they gave him. This is

419
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: giving him at least an extra day of rest, in fact,

420
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: over a full week at rest. Sandy is getting in

421
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 2: this situation. But I think given the very loud possibility

422
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 2: of them at least listening to trade offers in the

423
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: off season, they were doing heading into the deadline. For

424
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 2: whatever it's worth, I think ultimately Crutch it makes sense

425
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: to have him make a start at home. So if

426
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: you really want to nitpick it, there's a scenario where

427
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 2: you could have squeezed in two starts with him on

428
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: Tuesday and then again on Sunday in the final game.

429
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: They kind of split the difference here where he still

430
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: starts at home when he starts a couple of days earlier,

431
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 2: so then Sunday, which means that I guess there's a

432
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: slightly better possibility that the final game he pitches at

433
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: home could still have playoff implications if you wait all

434
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: the way to Game one sixty two. The likelihood of

435
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: that mattering one way or the other is a lot

436
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: lower than you'd be bumping up a couple of days.

437
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,959
Speaker 2: But I'm sure we'll get an explanation as it gets closer.

438
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 2: But what do you make of where they landed on

439
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 2: here with him making that final start of the season

440
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 2: on his final start of the year on Friday at home.

441
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not really surprising.

442
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 3: I mean, that's it would certainly be fun and it's

443
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 3: probably something I would do, especially if they were actually

444
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 3: closer in the race. It doesn't surprise me though the

445
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 3: Marlins wouldn't do this. I mean, this is the same

446
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 3: group that a month ago didn't really want to pitch

447
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: Ronnie Enriquez when they were even closer, or at least

448
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 3: it felt a lot closer. In the wildcard race. They

449
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 3: were pitching him like once a week, or maybe twice

450
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 3: a week if they were feeling crazy about it, because

451
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 3: he'd already hit his innings limit and they wanted to

452
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 3: see what they had in other guys. And even though

453
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 3: they won't admit it, it reeked of feeling like the

454
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 3: season's already over, so let's just develop guys. So it

455
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 3: doesn't surprise me that the Marlins would say, let's just

456
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 3: stick to the script. Let's stick to having Sandy go

457
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 3: out there when he's supposed to go out there, not

458
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 3: trying to squeeze him in any more than we have to.

459
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 5: It's a very risk averse group.

460
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 3: So four games out, with six games to play, I

461
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: don't think it's close enough for them to feel risky.

462
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 5: M hm.

463
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 2: So with Eddie, we don't think he's going to be

464
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 2: fully stretched out for Tuesday. In his most recent SIM game,

465
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: he threw about fifty pitches, and usually the leap from

466
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: one outing to the next is an extra fifteen pitches

467
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: or so. Again, we'll get confirmation of that before that game,

468
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: but likely with Cabrera looking at sixty five ish pitches,

469
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 2: maybe seventy things go right, but they'll still need a

470
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 2: whole lot of bullpen involvement in that. And we mentioned

471
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 2: earlier on the show about Ryan Weathers recently coming back

472
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 2: from his injury, so that will be his final start

473
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: of the regular season to get into the offseason feeling

474
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 2: good about himself. And then Jansen Junk He was the

475
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 2: pioneer of the coach pitch calling method and that one

476
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 2: very well for him, So now we'll see what he

477
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: does in his encore from that. When final quick overview

478
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 2: of this series against the Rangers, this was I think

479
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: entering it only played once at this ballpark before, and

480
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: I believe they got swept when they were here a

481
00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: couple of years ago.

482
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: They were actually in a playoff race and it was

483
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 3: like the low point of that season where we were

484
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 3: wondering if they were gonna blow it.

485
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's funny, I actually remember a couple guys

486
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,479
Speaker 2: right in the middle of that sweep, including Ryan Weathers.

487
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: Ryan Weathers made his Marlins debut at this ballpark against

488
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 2: the Rangers and it went really poorly. And I also

489
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: remember I think George Soriano started a game there and

490
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: then Ryan Weathers came in relief of him, and they

491
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 2: both kind of screwed up, but especially Weathers, and yeah,

492
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 2: that was quite something's remained the same and something's completely

493
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: different this time around, where I think the Rangers, if

494
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 2: not officially, they're right on the verge of being eliminated

495
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: from officially from American League postseason contention. So that is

496
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 2: nobody would have seen that coming. The fact that the

497
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: Rangers are officially out of it before the Marlins are

498
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: officially out of it in their league.

499
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just crazy. I mean, a lot will be

500
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: said over the next couple of days, but it's very

501
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 3: impressive that this team has seventy six wins still with

502
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 3: a week to goo. They blew Vegas out of the water.

503
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 3: As Clayton McCullough pointed out to us, in terms of

504
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 3: their predicted win total, they blew us out of the water.

505
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 3: Was it Kevin that was the most optimistic in our

506
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 3: preseason predictions? He had the Marlins of like sixty eight

507
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 3: wins or something, and that was like the highest win

508
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 3: total that we had on our staff. So it's really impressive.

509
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 3: It's really crazy, and I mean it could be a

510
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 3: very very fun week in Philadelphia, knowing that you get

511
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 3: to come home and play probably your biggest rival. Especially

512
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 3: I feel like the Mets are also, at least for me,

513
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: more of a rivalry when it's in Miami, just because

514
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 3: you have the added annoyance of Mets fans at Loan Depot.

515
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 3: And then if you put yourself in the right situation,

516
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 3: speaking of Sandy being lined up a certain way, I mean,

517
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 3: what an electric way to come home if you do

518
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 3: take care of business this week that when you come

519
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 3: home it's Sandy on the mound on.

520
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 2: Friday, absolutely, and things as people are awhere, Sandy's been

521
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: going in a very positive direction, especially over these last

522
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 2: month and a half or so, so his overall it's

523
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 2: going to be fascinating to think about how people look

524
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: back on Sandy season years down the road, where they

525
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 2: see an era well over five and they see that

526
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 2: he allowed just the overall numbers are really underwhelming, but

527
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: when you're inside of it, we know that it's just

528
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 2: been such a roller coaster where it was as bad

529
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 2: as it could possibly be the first couple of months,

530
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 2: then there were signs of life, then he slipped back,

531
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: then he heat up right before the trade deadline, and

532
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: then he didn't get moved, and then another hot streak

533
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 2: towards towards the end of the season in a way

534
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 2: that I think, I don't want to speak for everybody,

535
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: but you feel a lot more encouraged about him as

536
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 2: a pitcher moving forward than the overall seas and numbers

537
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: would suggest, just because of all the tangible things that

538
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 2: have gone right as this year has progressed. Am I

539
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: making a trip for that final series? Probably not. I

540
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: can't imagine a scenario where the thing is. I remember

541
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: thinking two years ago that I would come down if

542
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 2: the Marlins had somehow gone through the Wildcard Series and

543
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 2: gotten to the Division Series, hosted a game at Loan Depot.

544
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: Probably the same mindset this time around, so that if

545
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 2: they ever were, if ever ever was playoff baseball in Miami,

546
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 2: I would make it a point to come down and

547
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: cover some of that. But we're still a bunch of

548
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 2: steps away from that even happening. We'll see, but as

549
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: of this moment, don't have any flights booked for that.

550
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, still a long way to go to that.

551
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 5: We got to get through.

552
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 3: Philadelphia, and remember last time the Marlins went to Philadelphia

553
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 3: with something to play for so let's get through that

554
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 3: and then and then we get discussed flight bookings. Seven

555
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 3: like seven different options for where to stay when you're

556
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 3: down here.

557
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that is not an issue, not an issue whatsoever,

558
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: thanks to you guys. Look at the remaining schedule for

559
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 2: this upcoming final week. Each of these teams pretty similar

560
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 2: set up. We're playing two series Marlins on the road

561
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: against the Phillies and at home against the Mets. The

562
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 2: thing is, yeah, they need to keep in mind, even

563
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 2: though they're at the top of those that wild card

564
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 2: three standings, it's the Mets and the Reds. They still

565
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 2: need to outplay the Diamondbacks and the Giants and the Cardinals.

566
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 2: The Giants and the Cardinals play against each other at

567
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: one point, and then of course that final series is

568
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 2: single handedly they'll be able to pull things back against

569
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 2: the Mets. But trying to size up these series pretty

570
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 2: impossible at this time of year. On paper, it looks

571
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: like the Reds are in a great spot. The Reds

572
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,959
Speaker 2: own the type record against the Mets in case they

573
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 2: finished with the same record, and in this next series,

574
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 2: the Reds are hosting the Pirates, who clearly have nothing

575
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 2: left to play for at this point, I think Pulse

576
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: Skeens is going to pitch during that series for one

577
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: variable that works in Pittsburgh's favor, and then that final series.

578
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 2: From the Reds perspective, they're on the road against the Brewers. Again.

579
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 2: On paper, that looks like promising from the Marlins perspective,

580
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: but the Brewers are not really gonna have anything else

581
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 2: to play for at that point. They officially clinched their

582
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: division today and I believe they're on the cusp of

583
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: clinching a bye through the wild Card series, which means

584
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: that it's just not really that imposing, even if they

585
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: have a roster that has done so well for most

586
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 2: of this season. And the Cubs are right in the

587
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 2: middle of this. And I'm bringing that up because the

588
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 2: Cubs were the ones that have allowed the Reds to

589
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: leapfrog everybody in that's raised. The Cubs just got swept

590
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 2: by the Reds in a four game series, and now

591
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 2: it's the Cubs against the Mets for these next few

592
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 2: It goes without saying the Marlins need the Cubs to

593
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: win that series against the Mets. The elimination number is

594
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: three for the Marlins. That's the combination of Mets wins,

595
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: Reds wins and Marlins losses that could officially end this.

596
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,479
Speaker 2: So they need the Pirates to win that Red Series,

597
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 2: they need the Cubs to win that Mets series, and

598
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: Marlins themselves, they absolutely need to win the Phillies Series

599
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: two Right here, I've mentioned it before that for those

600
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: dreaming of another perfect week to finish this off, that'd

601
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: be unprecedented in Marlin's history. They've never had a winning

602
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 2: streak of more than nine in a row. They're currently

603
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 2: riding a six game streak, Yes, six in a row,

604
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: and so if they tie that together with another six games,

605
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 2: that'd be twelve. It's just so far and beyond anything

606
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 2: that this franchise has given the marl their fans at

607
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,959
Speaker 2: any point, even on years where they've won the World Series,

608
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 2: even on years where they've had deeper rosters than they've

609
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: had right now, they haven't quite had that that Cinderella

610
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: run where things go perfectly over the span of a

611
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. That might be what it's going to take.

612
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 2: They'll need to do that and get a little bit

613
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: of help. So I've been putting out scenarios. I'll tweet

614
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 2: out another one heading into Tuesday. In terms of all

615
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 2: the records that each of these teams need to put

616
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 2: up in order for the Marlins to get in there.

617
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 2: The bottom line is they need to be pretty much

618
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 2: perfect and get a little bit of help so they've

619
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: gotten enough to stay in the race, and ultimately, it

620
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: just it speaks to the system that we're in the

621
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 2: fact that the team that is under five hundred is

622
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: even alive here that says more about the system than

623
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 2: it does about the Marlins being a true playoff contender

624
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 2: ahead of schedule. It's just it's ridiculous even compared to

625
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: last year. Last year it looks like eighty seven wins

626
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 2: to get in as the final wildcard spot in the

627
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: National League, and this year might only take eighty three,

628
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: eighty two or eighty three to do so, so that

629
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: it's just a few games, But that's a pretty big difference.

630
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 2: It's the difference between being an average team and being

631
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: a playoff team. Might not even be any difference. This

632
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 2: year might be one and the same that you can

633
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 2: get in as a totally average team.

634
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 3: It's weird because, yeah, they're definitely not ahead of schedule.

635
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 3: They're definitely an average team. Depending on the week they're

636
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 3: even a below average team, But like when they are

637
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 3: playing well, it's similar to twenty twenty three, where I

638
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 3: do feel like I don't know so they would right

639
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 3: now if they made it to the third wildcard spot,

640
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 3: they'd be playing Milwaukee. I mean, this is dangerous because

641
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: I said the same thing about Philly two years ago,

642
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 3: But like, do we not think the Marlins could win

643
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 3: two out of three against Milwaukee?

644
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess in those.

645
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 3: Three games sample size, you could easily get swept out

646
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 3: of Milwaukee as well.

647
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 5: But like I think the.

648
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 3: Marlins could do well against Milwaukee, I think you would

649
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 3: just have to somehow out hit that pitching that they have.

650
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 2: In terms of when an MLD history, there have been

651
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 2: teams like this silver lying on rookies and young guys

652
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 2: while still being competitive. It's well, in Marlin's history, it

653
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: hasn't really been quite like this, because the ninety seven

654
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 2: team was very experienced and very well compensated, and the

655
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 2: two thousand and three team was on the younger side,

656
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: but not as extreme as this particular team is. Yeah,

657
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: in terms of other I mean two thousand, the obvious

658
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 2: parallel is two thousand and six, a team that is

659
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 2: trending towards having basically an identical record to this team

660
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 2: in two thousand and six, the Marlins had zero expectations

661
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 2: that they were even more dependent on Brookies than this team.

662
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: Hanley and Ugla and Annibal Sanchez, I think Chris Bolstad

663
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 2: came up that year. It was overwhelmingly young in two

664
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 2: thousand and six, and that team ended up winning seventy

665
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 2: eight games, which is almost exactly what the Marlins are

666
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: in line for. And that was in an era where

667
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 2: there was two less wildcard spots. There's only one wildcard

668
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: spot in the National League that year, so they weren't

669
00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 2: really competing for anything in the final couple weeks of

670
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: the season. But that's the closest parallel if you take

671
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: all the other factors out of here. In terms of

672
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: whether can Stowars come back, No, No, Stowars is done

673
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 2: for at least the next week for this regular season,

674
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 2: if they were to I don't think he's doing any

675
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 2: baseball activities at all right now. So even if they

676
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 2: were to sneak into the postseason, it seems unlikely. They

677
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: have not said he's officially shut down. He's traveling with

678
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 2: the team. It seems to be in a good mood

679
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: and it is only an oblique strain. It's the type

680
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 2: of thing where I would think at this point he

681
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 2: is close to being recovered, but then it's just about

682
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 2: the ramp up period to get all the way back

683
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 2: to hitting again and being competitive against live pitching. That's

684
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 2: a long enough process where they won't even have the

685
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 2: opportunity to do rehab games. Because the Triple A regular

686
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 2: season just ended today. They start playoffs next week, so

687
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: Stours is he's definitely done for this final week stretch.

688
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 2: So then the question is whether he would actually be

689
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 2: if they somehow some way extend their season. As we

690
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 2: touched on, it's they have a whole lot of good

691
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: outfield options anyway where they have. I've seen other complaints

692
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 2: about woe is us, how unlucky we are that Stowers

693
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 2: went down when he did, and this as much time,

694
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 2: the outfield hasn't really been a problem. They have a

695
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 2: whole lot of contributions from Roberto Hernandez, of all people,

696
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 2: has become really reliable. Jacob Marci most of all, and

697
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: most obviously he has been He's been awesome. It's been

698
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 2: a different shape of production. But Jacob Marcy on a

699
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 2: perry game basis has been as valuable as Towars was

700
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 2: when Stowars was healthy. So as much as as greaty

701
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 2: as it would be to have everybody healthy at the

702
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 2: same time, that's not realistic and other teams aren't in

703
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 2: that situation as well. In case you missed it on Conine, Yeah,

704
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 2: we think he is back on Tuesday. We think he

705
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: is back for the next game. That he's played nine

706
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: rehab games, he's he crushed it in triple A both

707
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: in terms of the results and the underlying batted ball data.

708
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 2: He looks fully ready to go, So we have the

709
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 2: question is who goes down for him, and we're not

710
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 2: entirely sure. Thank you to Richard for keeping eyes on

711
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 2: the live scoreboard. So that means the Giants are still

712
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 2: a game ahead of the Marlins heading into this final

713
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 2: week of the season, and we do have the upcoming

714
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 2: schedule up right there. So the Giants again on paper,

715
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 2: they finish off the years as generously as they possibly

716
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 2: could against that Rockies team hosting the historically bad Rockies,

717
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: and then right before that playing against the Cardinals, So

718
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 2: essentially they're whoever wins that Cardinals Giant series is going

719
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 2: to take the other out of wild card consideration.

720
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and going back to the outfield conversation before, I

721
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 3: said this earlier in the year, and I wound up

722
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 3: being right about it. In spring training, I the first

723
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 3: thing I noticed was like, there's a lot of depth

724
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 3: in this lineup, especially in the outfield. I even said,

725
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 3: like the roster is full of fourth outfielders, which sounds

726
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 3: like an insult to not.

727
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 5: The reason they're still in it is.

728
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're obviously getting great contributions from guys like Augustine

729
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 3: Ramirez and some of the pitching that has come alive

730
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 3: like Jansen Junk and the season that Edward Cabrera had.

731
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 3: A lot of why they're still in it despite all

732
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 3: these injuries is because they're very deep right now.

733
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 5: Like they don't have a lot of stars.

734
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Augustine Ramirez had a great first month that was

735
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 3: getting a lot of national buzz. Kyle Stowers would have

736
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 3: been a star this year if he played in a

737
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 3: different market. But other than that, not really a lot

738
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 3: of stars. But they do have are a bunch of

739
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 3: guys that are You know, if we were playing MLB

740
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 3: the show, you would have a bunch of outfielders that

741
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 3: are like seventy eight or seventy nine overall, whereas in

742
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 3: the past you would have guys that were like eighty five,

743
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 3: but then coming off your bench was a guy who's

744
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 3: like a sixty. And now like it seems like to

745
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 3: an extent, like if someone gets hurt, it's obviously it's

746
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 3: an issue, but it's not a huge issue because whoever's

747
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 3: coming off your bench is going to be able to

748
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 3: deliver almost the same results. Like you were even saying

749
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 3: it before, you were alluding to you know, Troy is

750
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 3: doing it as good as Griffin Conine was before he

751
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 3: got hurt, and that's because Troy is another death piece,

752
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 3: Like is he an all star, No, not by any means,

753
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 3: but he's very good. And so when you are two

754
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 3: deep or three deep organizationally at each position, you stay

755
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 3: in the race even when you are decimated with injuries.

756
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 5: Like it's crazy.

757
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 3: If this was any other year, you would be saying

758
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 3: that we're decimated with injuries. But it just feels kind

759
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 3: of fine right now. Not ideal, but fine.

760
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 2: Other people have mentioned this, for in fact, a couple

761
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 2: back to back about all the lefties in the outfield.

762
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 2: So we'll see how that goes. Ultimately, the point is,

763
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 2: if you're the lefty guys can actually hit lefty pitching,

764
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 2: then it's fine. And one of the big storylines early

765
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 2: in the year was Stours doing surprisingly well against lefties.

766
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: Marcy to this point has been the same. That was

767
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 2: one of my big questions when Marcy got called up

768
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,479
Speaker 2: and why I was a little reluctant to say he's

769
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 2: definitely an everyday guy because he didn't really hit lefties

770
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: that well in the minors each of the last two years.

771
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 2: But then all of a sudden, in a small sample

772
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: in the big leagues, he's doing just fine. It's almost

773
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 2: identical regardless of what handedness he's facing. Ultimately, you need

774
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 2: a lot of time to find out whether a guy

775
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 2: can hit lefties or not. But so far, so good,

776
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 2: and then Conin is the one that I'm also pretty

777
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 2: concerned about how that looks against lefties over a big sample. Ultimately,

778
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 2: it's not that big a deal when, as you said,

779
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: they have all these other guys that you can platoon with.

780
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 2: It really is. It's not going to be a situation

781
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 2: realistically where they have these three guys playing every single

782
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 2: day and getting every at bad. They're going to continue

783
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 2: to under this coaching staff and with the expectation that

784
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 2: basically everybody on this coaching staff comes back. They love

785
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 2: mixing and matching, they love platooning. There were times when

786
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 2: Stours was in the middle of his hottest stretches and

787
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 2: they still sat him against the lefty and people were upset.

788
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 2: But then whoever was in place of him that day

789
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 2: did just fine. And I believe they set a franchise

790
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 2: record this year for pinch hit home runs. When they

791
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 2: push buttons laden games to get guys a platoon advantage,

792
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 2: it works a lot at the time. It doesn't work

793
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 2: every time, it works a lot more often than or

794
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 2: used to sing, And so some of that credit goes

795
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 2: to what they're willing to do. It goes to the

796
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 2: players that they don't have huge egos about this sort

797
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 2: of thing, where they're willing to sit understanding that the

798
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 2: guy playing in their spot is there for a reason

799
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 2: to take advantage of a certain matchup. That's going to

800
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 2: be part of what this team does moving forward, trying

801
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 2: to optimize all these matchups in a way that as

802
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 2: long as you get buy in from the players, and

803
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 2: it's easy to get buy in from the players, when

804
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 2: they're early in their careers, when they haven't had a

805
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 2: ton of experience before, and they're just grateful to be

806
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 2: in the big leagues. When that happens, you get good

807
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 2: results like this. And it's kind of similar to the

808
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 2: magical run that the Detroit Tigers went on last year,

809
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 2: where that they had a lot of hitters that nobody

810
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 2: knew about and a lot of those guys exceed the expectations.

811
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 2: So the Marlins have done a lot of the same

812
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 2: stuff this year in that regard. I need a lot

813
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 2: of guys again on the outfield front. Somebody brings up

814
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: Kemp Alderman, and he has as much power as any

815
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 2: of these guys. He's knocking on the door. He'll be

816
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 2: in Big league spring training. He's a right handed hitter. Yeah,

817
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 2: they're not going to keep Kemp Alderman and the miners

818
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 2: all year just because they have these lefties in front

819
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 2: of him. They're going to mix him into the equation.

820
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 2: They're going to blend him with those lefties in order

821
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 2: to have a more complete unit. It's yeah, it's the

822
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 2: depth they have is something that is totally different, even

823
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,479
Speaker 2: from a couple of years ago, even from twenty twenty three,

824
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 2: we looked at that organization. As much as people were

825
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 2: celebrating the playoff run, that team just did not have

826
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,919
Speaker 2: the kind of depth knocking on the door, and didn't

827
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 2: even have the depth on the active roster. There are

828
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 2: guys on that active roster who were dragging the team

829
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 2: down even as they were getting into the postseason. And

830
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 2: now it's a much brighter outlook, even if their record

831
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 2: this year is gonna be a little bit worse than

832
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 2: that year's team.

833
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a small one because home runs aren't everything, obviously,

834
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 3: but like this team also leads the majors and pinch

835
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 3: hit home runs. I know it's just one stats, so

836
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 3: I doesn't say everything, but like just the fact that

837
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 3: you can plug and play guys. I have this take

838
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 3: all the time, so people are probably bored of me

839
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 3: saying it, but like, there's just not a single rally

840
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 3: killer in this lane up usually. I mean there's weeks

841
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 3: where you do have enough injuries to where like certain

842
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,720
Speaker 3: guys that are getting at bas and maybe they should

843
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 3: be getting but for the most part, like everyone who

844
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 3: played today, for example, was great and I would trust

845
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 3: them in a rally. Really, no rally killers, No guys

846
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 3: that are dragging the team down. And that's a lot

847
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,919
Speaker 3: of people again think that you need stars to make

848
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 3: the playoffs. You might need stars to win a World Series,

849
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 3: but in order to make the playoffs, you just need

850
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 3: as many not terrible guys as possible.

851
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 2: It's a good way of putting it. Yeah, get rid

852
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 2: of them not terrible guys, and they've done so this year.

853
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 2: One final look at this serious predictions from this past

854
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 2: series that we made who was a mixed bag between

855
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 2: guys going with the Marlins and not surprisingly number of

856
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 2: people willing to foreseeing that the Marlins were going to

857
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 2: sweep yet another series right there, So we appreciate all

858
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 2: those series predictions. Let me just pull up just a

859
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 2: quick overview of the Phillies as entering this penultimate series

860
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 2: of the regular season in Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park,

861
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 2: final matchup between these division rivals, where the Phillies have

862
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 2: already officially clinched the division, not a whole lot to

863
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 2: play for at this point, but still playing relatively well,

864
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 2: and so we're we're anticipating that Co nine is going

865
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 2: to be on this list by the start of the series.

866
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 2: As for the Phillies, I think I feel like I

867
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 2: don't know if Harrison Bader was on the team the

868
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 2: last time these teams played, or maybe he was. I

869
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 2: think they actually he was when they met in Miami.

870
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 3: But yeah, he was the one that hit the home

871
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 3: run and the dad and the lady fought over the ball.

872
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 2: That's right, he was very middle of that good memory

873
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 2: on that. Yes. Otherwise, a lot of familiar phaces that

874
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,439
Speaker 2: have been with the Phillies for a long time. At

875
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 2: this point, they're just playing for playoff seedings, trying to

876
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 2: get that first round by into straight into the divisional series.

877
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 2: If they're able to do so, it's never easy against them.

878
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 2: They are missing Trade Turner, who will still be out.

879
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 2: I think he got hurt during that previous series against

880
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 2: the Marlins, if I do remember that correctly, and so

881
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 2: he has been out ever since then and expected to

882
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 2: miss the rest of their regular season. So that is

883
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 2: one guy out, But Harrison Bidder's done a pretty good

884
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 2: Trade Turner impression, even if they play different positions, so

885
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 2: it's gonna be again on paper that doesn't really mean

886
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 2: anything at this time of year, but they'll I've seen

887
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 2: most of the pitching matchups for this one, where the

888
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 2: Marlins are going to be putting out Eddie, Ryan Weathers,

889
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 2: Jansen Junk, the Phillies, Christopher Sanchez, Jesus Lozardo, and then

890
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 2: we'll see what they do on Thursday. So with that,

891
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 2: I just want to see if we have any other

892
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 2: interesting comments that I want to touch on. Yeah, that's well,

893
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 2: that's that's the best case scenario. That's essentially what they need.

894
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 2: At an absolute minimum, you need to say two out

895
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 2: of three to stay live. Who's the tiebreaker between the

896
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 2: Phillies and the Brewers that I do not actually know.

897
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 2: I can look it up really quickly between them, but

898
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 2: those are the two teams that between the Brewers have

899
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 2: that tiebreaker for anybody wondering, so.

900
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 3: Mathematically, are we rooting for the Mets to be one

901
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 3: game better than the Reds this week so that the

902
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 3: Marlins control their own destiny because ideally you want the

903
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 3: Mets to be the third wild card and for the

904
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 3: Marrows we within three games of them, so you can

905
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 3: control your own destiny going into the final weekend.

906
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that is that's what's you're hoping for, and

907
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 2: we'll see if they ail to get it. So the

908
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 2: Marlins do have the tiebreaker over the Reds for anybody

909
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: wondering based on the season series, and it's they're essentially

910
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 2: in the same spot because with the Mets, the Marlins

911
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,479
Speaker 2: are gonna have the typebreaker over them if they beat

912
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 2: them in this final series, that tiebreaker is gonna be

913
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 2: determined by whoever wins at least two out of three

914
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 2: in this final weekends. Between those two. It is still

915
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 2: just appalling. And we've seen it before. We've seen a

916
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 2: bunch of times with the Mets in particular, but I

917
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 2: can't believe they're doing it again again. They've done it

918
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 2: a handful of times just over the last twenty years,

919
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 2: where they're comfortably above five hundred in playoff position for

920
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 2: most of the year and then all falls apart at

921
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 2: the very end. It is inexplicable, it is in their DNA,

922
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 2: and that it is one of the more unique fan

923
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 2: experiences in baseball for both people to root for the Mets,

924
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 2: where they're like now almost forty years moved from a

925
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 2: World Series title, but they're rarely awful. I don't think

926
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 2: they've ever in that period lost one hundred games like

927
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 2: the Marlins did just last year. So they're always somewhere

928
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 2: in between being mediocre and then being just not good

929
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 2: enough to get where they ultimately want to go.

930
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 3: And now that makes it worse, That makes it so

931
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 3: much worse, Like if you know your team's gonna be bad,

932
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 3: that you can mentally prepare yourself for it. But they're good,

933
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 3: like they're usually a good team, and they just you know,

934
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 3: that's why last year too, when they went into that

935
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 3: final game, it was a doubleheader and they needed to

936
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 3: just win one of those games against Atlanta. Do you

937
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 3: remember that, I thought that them actually winning a game

938
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 3: was equivalent to the miracle on ice because I was

939
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 3: so certain because everyone'll say, oh, the Braves only have

940
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 3: to win one as well, both teams only have to

941
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 3: win one, so you don't really have to try. And

942
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 3: I thought, this is exactly the kind of day where

943
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 3: Atlanta just wins both games just for avle of it

944
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 3: and the Mets don't get anything. And they did it,

945
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 3: and I thought that meant that this was a different

946
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 3: franchise now with Steve Cohen at the helm.

947
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 5: But I guess we'll.

948
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 2: See simply what they did in October itself felt like

949
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 2: the turning of the page, where the fact that they

950
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 2: even if they fell short of even making the World Series.

951
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 2: That was such a likable postseason run, and I thought

952
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 2: that alone, it was suggesting that something was different this

953
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 2: time around. And nope, nope, they over the offseason, they

954
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 2: have a their winners of the offseason, and yet somehow

955
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 2: take a slight step back the Mets will Mets, as

956
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 2: ALMF says.

957
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 3: Ye say, well, that's why I was so frustrating to

958
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:38,919
Speaker 3: watch the Marlins just put in Josh Simpson a month

959
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 3: ago in Cleveland, and some people were saying, you know, well,

960
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 3: they're probably not going to make the playoffs anyway, and

961
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 3: it's like, have you seen who's in front of them

962
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 3: right now? You've seen who the third wild card team is. Like,

963
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,240
Speaker 3: you got to pitch every game like it's Game seven

964
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 3: because you could make up six games.

965
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 5: If you really want to.

966
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 2: Bring up that example, is that's also a reframe I've

967
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 2: seen from people just in the last few days kicking

968
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 2: themselves over the fact that there were those moments, several

969
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 2: of those type of moments where in high leverage situations,

970
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 2: underqualified players or at very at least inexperienced players would

971
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 2: put in those situations and ended up losing them a

972
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 2: bunch of games throughout the entire month of August. If

973
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 2: you get a few of those games back, then that's

974
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 2: an entirely different outlook. If you just switch a few

975
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 2: of those results, then they're essentially tied with the Reds

976
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,720
Speaker 2: and the Mets at this stage, not really chasing anybody.

977
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 2: Maybe they'd be controlling their own destiny at this point,

978
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 2: and I've kind of pushed back on that. That's part

979
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 2: of the reality of being a team in this situation,

980
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 2: of also of not having it's a relatively short list

981
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 2: of guys that you can unequivocally trust. There were times

982
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 2: earlier in the year. There have been times since then

983
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 2: where they've made unusual decisions that have actually worked out.

984
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 2: I referenced to George Soriano earlier in this show, the

985
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 2: fact that George Soroano pitched high leverage spots in two

986
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 2: of the three games of the series that worked out fine.

987
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 2: You don't really hear any chirping after that. But that's

988
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 2: kind of in the same vein of the kind of

989
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 2: move where even you remember the ones very vividly that

990
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 2: don't work out. But that is just it's part of

991
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 2: the reality of a team in this situation where realistic

992
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 2: that they have not put their best possible roster in

993
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 2: the big leagues this year. That's part of the longer

994
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 2: term plan. They're being patient with some of their other prospects.

995
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 2: Robbie Snelling could help this pitching staff right now, but

996
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 2: they need to have a longer term view because this

997
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 2: year is never the year that they were going to

998
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 2: push all their chips into the center of the table,

999
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 2: and they want to spread that around in the meantime.

1000
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 2: You take some lumps along the way. There were things

1001
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 2: that you could overcome some of those mistakes if you

1002
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 2: had better production from other facets of the roster. So

1003
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 2: I can't believe people are actually dwelling on that type

1004
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 2: of stuff in the season like this. The fact that

1005
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 2: they're in this situation is kind of a realistic best

1006
00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 2: case scenario. You could pick apart the most bloying losses

1007
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 2: all you want, but the aggregate, the fact that it's

1008
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 2: going this well, that is that continues to be top

1009
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 2: of mind for me. That the fact that they're in

1010
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 2: this situation kind of blows my mind. And I gotta

1011
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 2: give them credit to that. We picked them apart in

1012
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 2: the moment when they screwed up those games, But I

1013
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,280
Speaker 2: don't think it is something that people should still cling

1014
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 2: onto when they're actually still playing meaningful games in the

1015
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 2: final week of the season.

1016
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll give I'll give them credit.

1017
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 3: I remember, like a couple of weeks later, there were

1018
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 3: a few high leverage arms that were down against Atlanta

1019
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 3: back at home, and Clayton mccalluugh put out Tyler Zueber

1020
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 3: and Josh Simpson late, and I forget how many runs

1021
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 3: the Marvels were up. I think they were up by

1022
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 3: one because I think it was like the first time

1023
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 3: Tyler Zuber had pitched while up by one run since

1024
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 3: like twenty twenty one or something, and it worked out.

1025
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 3: So some of these moves work out. Yeah, we don't

1026
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 3: have to do the debate show, especially a month after

1027
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 3: the fact, But my opinion on it is, yes, stick

1028
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 3: with your development plan in terms of guys that are

1029
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 3: on the roster, like, you know, don't beat buyers at

1030
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 3: the deadline, don't call up robably smelling if he's not

1031
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 3: if you feel like he's not where you wanted him

1032
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 3: to be at the time of his call up. But

1033
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 3: for the guys that are on the roster, use them,

1034
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 3: you know. Ronnie Enriquez had only pitched one time that week,

1035
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 3: So it's just stuff like that. And I feel like

1036
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 3: over the course of the one hundred and sixty two

1037
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 3: game season there will be moments where Josh Simpson will

1038
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 3: naturally get development opportunities like that. It felt forced to

1039
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 3: do it in that moment, but again, we don't have

1040
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 3: to do the debate show a month later. They in

1041
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 3: the aggregate, like you said, still a very impressive season

1042
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 3: that they've had seventy six wins and they've still got

1043
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 3: six games left to go. They could finish over five

1044
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 3: hundred even if they missed the playoffs. That's crazy. And

1045
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 3: then one more thing on this partickelut of thought is

1046
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 3: it is crazy how over the course of one hundred

1047
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 3: and sixty two games, like game is gonna wind up

1048
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 3: mattering like some stupid game on a Tuesday night in

1049
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 3: April is probably gonna wind up mattering, if not for

1050
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 3: the Marlins, then for the Bets or for the Reds.

1051
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 3: Like every game matters even when it feels like it doesn't.

1052
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 2: With that said, we're gonna go to the final segment here.

1053
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 2: It is predictions.

1054
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: This is prediction time.

1055
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,320
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna win a lot of games, a

1056
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,439
Speaker 2: lot more games than you think we're gonna win this year.

1057
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 2: Good on you, Bruce. They are now thirteen games up,

1058
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,359
Speaker 2: thirteen fourteen wins up where they were last season, still

1059
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 2: with another week to go. Throughout the entire season, we've

1060
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 2: been making serious predictions. Our staff super subs last stream

1061
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 2: guess how many games of Marlins are going to win?

1062
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 2: Who will be the series MVP as determined by win

1063
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 2: probability added two series left and you referenced it with

1064
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 2: the one hundred and sixty two game schedule. I guess

1065
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 2: it translates to prediction time as well. This this fifty

1066
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 2: series into this season, and there's a tie for first

1067
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 2: place between our own staff for Hector Rodriguez, our super

1068
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 2: sub Alec Chow, who goes by rings. They're tied at

1069
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 2: sixty four points apiece. It's almost certainly gonna come down

1070
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 2: to them down the stretch and who they predict. But

1071
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 2: we keep the doors open to anybody that wants to

1072
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 2: share their takes with us. You can do it on ficial,

1073
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 2: on first dot com, you can do it in the

1074
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 2: Marlins discord server, and the rest of my staff has

1075
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 2: been given predictions as the year goes on. As well.

1076
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 2: So this is what it comes down to. We've laid

1077
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 2: out still two days ahead of the series open ourselves.

1078
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 2: There could be some surprises with the roster moves along

1079
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 2: the way, but switching up this live stream scheduling overall,

1080
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 2: I think has been a net win, and so we're

1081
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 2: gonna blindly make some predictions without entirely knowing all the

1082
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 2: info that's gonna go along here. If crutch it, you're ready,

1083
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,240
Speaker 2: I will queue you up and give us your thoughts

1084
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 2: for this Marlin's Philly series.

1085
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 3: Okay, I think going to Citizens Bank Park means that

1086
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to win with a long ball. I

1087
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 3: have the Marlins winning two out of three.

1088
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 5: I don't think they get the sweep done. I think

1089
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 5: they may next weekend very in percent. I think Augustly

1090
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 5: Ramirez is the series MBBA.

1091
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:21,919
Speaker 2: And I will be the Debbie Downer here. I'll say

1092
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 2: that the Marlins, all out of realistic you know, wild

1093
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 2: card contention over these next few days, end up losing

1094
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 2: the series. Enough things go wrong on the other end

1095
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 2: that they're out of it heading into the final weekend.

1096
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,720
Speaker 2: I'm doing this to obviously reverse jinks them into pulling

1097
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 2: it out and keeping this going. But I have them

1098
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:44,479
Speaker 2: losing two out of three through the Phillies. A whole

1099
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 2: lot of good talent on this roster, and they've done better.

1100
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 2: More often than not. They've been able to cobble things

1101
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 2: together to optimize it and pull out a lot of

1102
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 2: close games. I think this is when things catch up

1103
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 2: with them compared to where they had been the previous week.

1104
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 2: They end up winning one game in this series. Maybe

1105
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 2: it's the Ryan Weathers start right in the middle there,

1106
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 2: but the end up losing the opener in the series

1107
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 2: finale in Philly. Who's going to be the one mainly

1108
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 2: responsible for them losing the series? I will go with

1109
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 2: Ryce and Scott about him coming up with a couple

1110
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,439
Speaker 2: of key hits. He was the one that of course

1111
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 2: was right in the middle two years ago of knocking

1112
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 2: the Marlins out of the wild Card Series when he

1113
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 2: hit that Grand Slam in the postseason. I think he's

1114
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 2: going to have a couple surprising extra base hits over

1115
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 2: the course of the next few days that ultimately make

1116
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 2: the difference here. But I hope I'm wrong, and you know,

1117
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 2: we'll find out the fact that they're in this situation

1118
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 2: is ultimately a shock to me, and I've had a

1119
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 2: pretty bad year when it comes to making serious predictions,

1120
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 2: so that's any consolation, This is probably going to continue

1121
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 2: the trends of me misfiring on my picks. That's Facial

1122
