1
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: What's up, guys. Alex Contrell's on the mic alongside Eli Sussman.

2
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of Marlin's Barbecue. Sadly our

3
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: fish have been eliminated from the postseason, but that's okay Man.

4
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: All the South Florida is proud of you. All the

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: Marlin's nations super proud of you guys. One more can

6
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: I say, Eli, Welcome to the Barbecue. It's not the

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: ending we expected, but we're happy with it. We could

8
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: live with it.

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: That's the buzzword that I think everybody's been passing around,

10
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 2: how proud everybody feels about what happened this year. Expectations

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: relatively low, especially a couple of days into the season

12
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 2: when everything went haywire. I mean, I'm the first one

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: that would tell you that I didn't see much of

14
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: all going right for the team after they got back

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: from their hiatus, right because of the outbreak, and what

16
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: they achieved is it's a past everybody's expectations, a lot

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: of fun, easy guys to root for, and they're set

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: up pretty well moving forward. That's what we're all especially

19
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 2: excited about is how many players they can bring back

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: for next year, how many guys who expect to be

21
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: even better over a full season of development than they

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: were in their rookie years or however they were in

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. That, yeah, things are pointing up, things are

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: moving in the right direction. How you doing, How are

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: you feeling?

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 3: I'm feeling amazing.

27
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: Man.

28
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: We're on a on express lane on this whole rebuild

29
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: like we were. I think we're like a year and

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: a half advanced. You know, the team is. It wasn't

31
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: the ideal situation at the beginning of the season. We

32
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: got hit with the COVID and all that. Everybody knows

33
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: the story, But how beautiful was it to see these

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: guys come together jump all these obstacles and show that

35
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: why not us? Man?

36
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: And they really did it? And like, for one second, dude, it.

37
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: Really started to feel like we were watching like the

38
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: movie Major League Dude.

39
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, can the Marlins really do this?

40
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: Like everybody's who the hell are these guys?

41
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: Right?

42
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: And like you all of a sudden, like you got

43
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: a guy that you can count on, like a James White.

44
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: We would never expected James Wait to be joining our team.

45
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: Richard Blair, you know what I'm saying, Richard Blair came over.

46
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: He's doing a great job from the left hand side,

47
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: a great option out of our bullpen. Donny Baseball pushed

48
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: all the buttons, you know, to a certain extent. Yeah,

49
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: the times there were times that we would get upset

50
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: with him as fans because eventually we all want to

51
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: win rights. That's the ultimate goal, to bring the championship

52
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: back home in South Florida where it belongs. But damn,

53
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: they brought so much joy to us, to this whole

54
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: fan base for the first time, what sixteen seventeen years.

55
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: Dude, I was in freaking middle school. Now I'm an adult.

56
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 3: I can really enjoy it. Have some bruise. It's like, yeah, man.

57
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what the whole sport is aiming for

58
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: kind of is to keep a kind of draft like this.

59
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: They don't want any team to go through this kind

60
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: of drought, no matter how bad the ownership is, no

61
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: matter how much bad luck is going against you. You know,

62
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: everybody should have a path to at least getting into

63
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: October if they do some things right. And that's gonna

64
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: be a big question for like the league moving forward,

65
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: is what the playoffs look like, because we know this

66
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 2: year they improvised. That wasn't the plan heading into the

67
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: spring training to have sixteen teams and eight for each

68
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: league getting in, and I wonder how that's going to

69
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: be moving forward. You know, you guys have been you

70
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: and Red and I include myself. We've been critical Rob

71
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: Manfred for a lot of the decisions he's made, a

72
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: lot of what he's done. But this decision to expand

73
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs just a little bit, I think it worked

74
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: out pretty well in terms of getting teams like the

75
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: Marlins in, but also as we get down to it,

76
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 2: as we're recording this, only four teams remaining left in

77
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: World Series contention, the Rays, the Dodgers, the Astros, the Braves,

78
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: and you know, with one exception there, you know, those

79
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: are four pretty elite, three pretty elite teams, and one

80
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: not so elite team, one that everybody's rooting against. I

81
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: think ultimately things are the expectations for the season and

82
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: how things could have gone wrong for the league as

83
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: a whole, you know, the doubt about even making it

84
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: through the year. We've put together a season as a

85
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: sport in general that I think is pretty representative of,

86
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: you know, what these teams are. It's pretty legit. I

87
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: think that's that's a big thing, a big milestone, being

88
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: able to put together a legit season in the middle

89
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: of the pandemic, when there was so much working against

90
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: everybody to get that done.

91
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: We paid, I mean, we played sixty games in the

92
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: season that was the regular season. This year, we adapted

93
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: to the reality of things, and like, you know what,

94
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: it was cool because right off the rep everybody was

95
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: excited for baseball. It was like, all right, we're in

96
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: a playoff race right out the gate, and you know,

97
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: like that's exciting as a baseball fan. I don't think

98
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna work for one hundred and sixty two game season.

99
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: I don't think we should have so many teams in it.

100
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: But if they do go that route, the one thing

101
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: I would like to see is, hey, you know, the

102
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: wildcard game, Let's make it a one game, you know,

103
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: and then the next round the division series, let's make

104
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: it the three game, and the next round is make

105
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: it a five and then a seven.

106
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. Something like that kind of

107
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: sounds cooler to me. We don't have to see so

108
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: many games.

109
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really complain about seeing many games

110
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: and I actually loved watching all these games.

111
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: The one who I didn't really dig was the extra

112
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: ending rule.

113
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: You know, like it was like it always came back

114
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: and bit you in the butt, dude, and it kind

115
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: of sucked.

116
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: It was cool.

117
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, the games ended a lot quicker, man, but I'm

118
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: old school mentality guy man free baseball, and you know

119
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. He at the end, they like, he's

120
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: not what it says, you know what I'm saying. So

121
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm all about that. And as far as the teams

122
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: that are left in World Series contention, I don't know

123
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: about you guys, but there's only two teams that I

124
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: don't want to see them win. I don't want to

125
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: see the Braves win, and I don't want to see

126
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: the Astros win.

127
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: All Right.

128
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: I know that I've been talking smack to the Braves,

129
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, because they're always talking that crap. All right,

130
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: But how funny is it that they got their ass

131
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: whooped the other day by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

132
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,559
Speaker 3: Right? It was eleven runs in the first inning, twelve

133
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: runs in the second. It was like, yo, it was crazy.

134
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: He was like twelve runs total.

135
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: And there was only second inning so you know what,

136
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: it felt good to see the Dodgers wake up and

137
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: punch him in the mouth, dude, because that game two,

138
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: those guys they woke up in the ninth inning, bro

139
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: they were shitting bricks on the mound and the nine

140
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: for two hours. The Max Munsey home run, the two

141
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: runs shot, then they hit a triple by Bellinger, Like, yo, dude.

142
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 3: That was fun. That was exciting. That's the type of

143
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: baseball that you'd like to see.

144
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: And it was fun to see even more because the Braves,

145
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: it was right, it was about to blow up in

146
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: their face, and I was like, you know what, they're

147
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: down to nothing, but the Dodger's gonna come out and

148
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna take these guys by storm. And by golly,

149
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: they did. They woke their ass up and they took

150
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: it to the Braves. And don't get me started on

151
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: the Raids, man, because the Rays woo the Rays, the

152
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Raiser. I can't believe I'm saying this, are

153
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: eternal in state rivals, the Citrus Champs. You know, they

154
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: took it to the fish this year. They've been taking

155
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: it to the fish the past couple of years. And

156
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: the only thing that Marlins fans can really say to

157
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: the Rais fans is, hey, we got two championships, but

158
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: you know what, it's fucking time for you guys to

159
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: get over the hump, bring a championship to Florida and

160
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: make everybody proud. It doesn't matter if the Rays face

161
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, if they face the Braves, I hope that

162
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: they could take it to them and punch them in

163
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: the freaking face.

164
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 2: Well, so this is where I'm coming from a little

165
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: bit with the Braves. That's a team. As someone that

166
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: we're following the Marlins, and we know that at this

167
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: moment in time, these things are kind of cyclical that

168
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: can depend on the individual players evolved and the drama involved.

169
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: But at this moment, you would have to say that

170
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: the number one rival for the Marlins is the Braves.

171
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: And so, on one hand, if the Braves really drive

172
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: you crazy, if especially Ronald Acuna Junior he drives you crazy,

173
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: you want to see them fall in their face. I

174
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: understand that stance of it. The other way is if

175
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: they're well one, they're the team that knocked out the Marlins,

176
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: and I guess it makes you feel a little bit

177
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: more justified about this season, if the Braves have success

178
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: in the later rounds to make you understand that the

179
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: Marlins just went through, you could tip your hat to

180
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: a team that is a more complete team and a

181
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: more experienced team. But the way I see it is,

182
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: I think it would be a great wrinkle in the rivalry.

183
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: The Braves went all the way and if they won

184
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: a World Series and if you head into next year,

185
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: you play them nineteen times next year, and they're the

186
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: reigning world champs, And the kind of way that motivates

187
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: the Marlins to keep getting better, motivates the players because

188
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: you're gonna play the Rays next year. They actually open

189
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 2: up opening Day twenty twenty one, that's Marlins and the Rays.

190
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,679
Speaker 2: So that'd be pretty cool too, to open up against

191
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: the reigning champs. But the Braves are the team that

192
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: you're gonna be going up against every single year, playing

193
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: them more than any other team. And what this Marlins

194
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: front office, I mean, they've they've done a lot of

195
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: good things, laying the foundation to a consistent, contenting team.

196
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 2: But when there's eventually gonna need to be that extra

197
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: kick that motivates them to really put together star players,

198
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: to put together a championship contending team because they're not

199
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: there yet. You know, you could be happy about what

200
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: they did this year, but they're not yet at that.

201
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: They haven't taken that step, and I don't know early signs.

202
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: I don't know how aggressive they're going to be to

203
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: put together a championship. If you have a rival in

204
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: your own division that's on the top of the mountain,

205
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: I feel like that'd be an important motivator. That'd be

206
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: a great intrigue all next year. If you're playing six

207
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: series against the reigning world champs, I'm kind of interested

208
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 2: in seeing that kind of drama. I don't think it's

209
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: gonna happen. I think the Rays got a better shot.

210
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: I think the Dodgers are probably gonna win the series

211
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: over the Braves, even though they fell behind two initially.

212
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: But I would not be upset if the Braves, you know,

213
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: go all the way. I think that'd be fun entertainment

214
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: moving forward.

215
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 4: Had a career year in many respects, albeit with a

216
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 4: sixty game schedule. Hits one in to write and this

217
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 4: one is gone. Freddy Framat shoots one out to right.

218
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 4: His family's excited, his dugouts excited in the Braves strike

219
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 4: first in the NLCS.

220
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: I think this is a win. This is perfect that

221
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: you're on the show right now, because you and me

222
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: are like day and night. And I would absolutely hate

223
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: for the Braves to finally get over the hump for

224
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: the first time since nineteen ninety five. Dude, Like, come on, man,

225
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: these guys are like, oh, we got so many pennance,

226
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: we got so many division titles, and then what dude,

227
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's all about the

228
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: championships you win. And you've only had three World Series

229
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: titles in praise history.

230
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 3: And I don't talk about the Boston Braves.

231
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: I'm talking about all of them and put together the

232
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: Boston Braves, Atlanta.

233
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 3: Praise all that. And I don't want to see these

234
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 3: guys win it because you know what.

235
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna The ego's gonna go through the roof. It's

236
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: gonna be ridiculous. It's gonna be ridonculous, you know what

237
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I feel like like the Gnats. Yeah, the

238
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: Gnats came out of nowhere and win it last year.

239
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: And you know, I'll admit it, I kind of low

240
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: key rooted for the Gnats because they finally they got

241
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: over the hump, right. I was happy because they got

242
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: over the hump, won the World Series. They got rid

243
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: of Lauria, just like we got rid of Lauria. So

244
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, they finally got the hump

245
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: out the back, and I'm happy for him. But like imagine,

246
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: like out of the teams in our division, dude, you

247
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: don't ever want to see the Braves win it. You

248
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: don't want to see the Mets win it. The Phillies.

249
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: Like you saw the Phillies when they won it. They

250
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: they were cool, you know what I'm saying.

251
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: They didn't.

252
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: They weren't so egocentric, they weren't so wild with it

253
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: and obnoxious. But you know what, dude, I just I'm

254
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: gonna stop the hate. Just go raise punch them in

255
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: the mouth. Punch them in the mouth for all the

256
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: souft floor, for all the Florida proud, make them proud, Rais,

257
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: go out there and win the whole damn thing.

258
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: There's no it's fun to have bragging rights over all

259
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: the other teams in the division, although their fan bases

260
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 2: in the division, because all those got to a different extent,

261
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: whether it's especially actually not so much the Nationals. See,

262
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 2: I can understand why people were on board with the

263
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: Nationals because their fan base isn't necessarily at that same

264
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: level of intensity as the Mets, as the Phillies, as

265
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: the Braves. So I can understand that from a certain standpoint.

266
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: How why this is a different situation than last year?

267
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: And you know what going I'm sorry to cut you off,

268
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: but going back to the series against the Braves, like

269
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: we had some unfortunate luck. Dude, we were going and

270
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: they're banged up, you know, like we lost a big

271
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: piece to this team. Sterling Marte, who's interesting enough, has

272
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: an option on the table. I think it's around twelve

273
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: million dollars, and the Marlins got to decide, how are

274
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: we gonna pick this up or are you gonna let

275
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: them go for a million dollars? And I know that

276
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: these guys aren't gonna let them go. You guys want

277
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: to resign a guy like Sterling Marte, who came into

278
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: this team made an immediate impact. Dude, with his bat,

279
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: with his glove, with his speed, with his presidence in

280
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: the clubhouse, Like this is a guy that you want

281
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: to help have around these younger cats and keep helping

282
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: them evolve as professionals, Dude, the way that they came together.

283
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: Michel Rojas is taking it to another level rightfully.

284
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: So, like he's earned every single like respect of everybody

285
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse outside the clubhouse. Like he's wearing that

286
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: Marlin pride and that's good to see.

287
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 3: Bro.

288
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: You want to see guys embrace that uniform and they're

289
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: proud to rock out that uniform.

290
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean the Marlins are in we already

291
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: mentioned at the top. They're in a good place because

292
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: they don't actually have that many big decisions in terms

293
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: of if they want to run back the team next year.

294
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,599
Speaker 2: Most of those guys are under team control, they're under contracts.

295
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: I mean, they got really fortunate with Rojas. Rojas, if

296
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: they hadn't extended him, he would be heading into the

297
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: free agency this year coming off a really great year.

298
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: But they were able to figure that out beforehand and

299
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: they got pretty lucky with that.

300
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 3: Mark a couple guys I'd like to see like extended

301
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 3: for sure.

302
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: And we've been talking about this all season. Hashtag PAYBA.

303
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: Brian Anderson miss a three run home run, three game

304
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: home run, I'm sorry, three game home run, all right,

305
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: Like Brian Anderson. Dude, he's really evolved into a leader

306
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: in this clubhouse as well. I love to see him.

307
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: I love to see Miguel Rojas. How they embraced this

308
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: whole thing.

309
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 3: Dude.

310
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: They really brought into Derek Jeter's plan, Bruce Sherman's plan,

311
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: the front office's plan, and a guy that we can't

312
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: forget about that needs an extension. Who's going to be

313
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: in charge of all these decisions? Is Mike freaking Hill Huh?

314
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: He finally he's finally been able to just work worry

315
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: about baseball. Now have to worry about out some dumb

316
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: ass making dumb, bone headed decisions because hey, I don't know,

317
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm just I want to be like joy Steinbrenner, and

318
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Laurier.

319
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 3: Take a hike, bum stay over there and France to

320
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 3: wherever you're at.

321
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it wasn't an easy year. Even with

322
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 2: Laurier out the way, This would have to be one

323
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: of the more stressful years in his career because of

324
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: what he had to deal with right after opening day,

325
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: you know, replace Rock.

326
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 3: But isn't it cool?

327
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: Isn't it cool for your for your your boss to

328
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: tell you Derek git to tell you, Hey, go ahead, Michael,

329
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: let's make these moves work with Gary Dembo, and you

330
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: guys can just worry about baseball operations like all of

331
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: a sudden, like oh, you know what, imagine Laurier just

332
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: just like, oh, I want to sign this guy.

333
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 3: Want to sign that guy, and has nothing to do

334
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 3: with our game plans.

335
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: You're spending money, just I just want I want him

336
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: because I want to have another case of a John Buck.

337
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: Right, And I mean if you look at the success

338
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: rate that he had on those guys, he added, like right,

339
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: you know, right at the last minute, he did a

340
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 2: pretty great job. There was players he called up that

341
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: they weren't expecting to call. They called up the Italian stallion,

342
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: Daniel Castano right when that happens, and Castano had a

343
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: great rookie year for them, totally off the map. The

344
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: trades that they made getting James Hoyt. James Hoyt, he

345
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: went like a month and a half without allowing a

346
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: run at a bullpen. He great like situational pitcher that

347
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: they now have him, you know, for a long time

348
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: if they want to hold on to him. Richard, they

349
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: made that Richard Blier trade, right, in that moment as well,

350
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 2: as he showed up some pretty good stuff. He's gonna

351
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: be around for a while and the yeah, they were

352
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: really impressive with that. So with Hill is his contract

353
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: is up at the end of this month. You know,

354
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: it's not even at the end of this year. It's

355
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: before the offseason really gets fully started. And I think

356
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: as we're recording this is just a couple of weeks,

357
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: you know, this information with front office executives, it's not

358
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 2: as publicly available as with the players, right and we

359
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: don't have all the specifics about exactly what his salary is.

360
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: But expectation is that he was paid pretty well by

361
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: Lauria and that if they're going to renegotiate his deal,

362
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: that maybe they want to hold on to him, of course,

363
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: but not necessarily at the same salary that he was

364
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: making beforehand. And I think that's what the hold up is.

365
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: But otherwise, there's not really much of a question that

366
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: he should be back, and he should be back for

367
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: the next few years because he's he knows the organization

368
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: inside and out, he seems to have respect of everybody,

369
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: seems to work really well with Jeter directly, So it's

370
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: not much of a question. I think that's what they're

371
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: waiting on with the Marlins, because you know, it's now

372
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: been a week since the season ended, and they haven't

373
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: yet had that cool down session, that full press conference

374
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: recapping the year, what went right? What wrong? With their

375
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: plans are My suspicion is that they're waiting to finalize

376
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: his contract before doing that, because as of this moment,

377
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: they haven't even scheduled anything from when they're going to

378
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: have that conversation. I imagine that's the first order of

379
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: business is working out that new deal for him.

380
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: That it sounds ideal to us, It sounds ideal to you,

381
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: to me, to all of maslation think maybe the exception

382
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: a few people that could say that they didn't like

383
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: Mike Hill's job. But I mean, would it be weird

384
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: or could it catch us off guard if maybe all

385
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the front office says, hey, you know what,

386
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: we're going a different round they get rid of Mike Hill.

387
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 3: I know that was a hell of a curveball I

388
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 3: threw at you.

389
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: It's definitely, I mean, it's a possibility. I just can't

390
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 2: think of an obvious If they do that, it's usually

391
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 2: when there are some obvious, real big shot future GM

392
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: candidates that are out there. So with these guys with

393
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: the current ownership group, you always look for Yankee connections

394
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: because they've done that before. One of their other big

395
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 2: execs right now, Gary Denbo. Gary Denbo who's now the

396
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 2: VP Scouting and player Development, he came from the Yankees

397
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 2: after many years. They had that other executive that his

398
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: name is escaping me right now, that just joined last

399
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: year and was pretty instrumental in making some of these

400
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 2: traits as well, really analytically heavy guy. I'll have his

401
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: name on the website when we put up this episode,

402
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: but it's it's even more than that. Of course, James Rowson,

403
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: who everyone was excited about he got the start of

404
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: his coaching career and the Yankees organization. Dave Dombrowski is

405
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 2: still out there, former Marlins GM way back in the day,

406
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 2: but he's pretty far along in his career and I

407
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 2: don't see him being, you know, an upgrade over what

408
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 2: Mike Hill does.

409
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: Actually, I believe David Debrowski, I'm sorry to cut you off.

410
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: I believed Dobrowski is being involved with the with the

411
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: group that's trying to bring Major League Baseball to Nashville, Nashville, Tennessee.

412
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: So whenever Major League Baseball is designing to try and

413
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: expand that, I don't know when that's going to happen,

414
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: But that's the last I heard of, mister Dobrowski.

415
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, at the top of my head. It's

416
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 2: something I'll have to look closer to the longer this

417
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: delay goes on. Like I said, I think that's really

418
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 2: what The only delay is in communication with the team

419
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 2: is that they want to, you know, actually settle the

420
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 2: Mike Hill's situation before you know, addressing us about what

421
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 2: the plan is for the organization. They actually have to

422
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: have everybody in place if they're going to talk about

423
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: what the future is looking like. And I expect him

424
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 2: to come back. But the longer we go on, the

425
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: more I gotta look at what some of the outside

426
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 2: candidates are. Because the one thing that Mike Hill doesn't

427
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 2: do quite as much as the typical GM is he's

428
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 2: not someone that is really like one hundred percent like

429
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: wedded to analytics and how exactly those are used to

430
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: make decisions. But he's brought in guys underneath him in

431
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: the front office that handle that they seem to be

432
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: collaborating well together. So that's that's always some interesting decision,

433
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: not just in baseball, but in a lot of companies.

434
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 2: When you look at one of the leaders in your

435
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 2: front office, what exactly you want from that guy, Whether

436
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: you want him to be someone that has expertise in

437
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: all these different areas or one that is just good

438
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 2: at working as a team, you know, one that's good

439
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 2: at collaborating with other people, and one that gets everybody

440
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: comfortable and gets everybody motivated. And clearly he knows baseball

441
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 2: inside and out, has a lot of scouting backgrounds, and

442
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 2: he played way back in the day, and the fact

443
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: that he's been with the Marlins for so long at

444
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: given what he accomplished, especially this year with some of

445
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 2: the deals that he pulled off. Yeah, I think the

446
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 2: expectation now is that he's going to be back, and

447
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: we expect Starling Marte to be back. Brandon Kinsler he

448
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: has a club option in his contract too. It's about

449
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: four million dollars. He had a pretty good year, seemed

450
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 2: to fit in really well, and Mattingly had a lot

451
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: of trust in him, which is probably the most important

452
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: part because matting Lee is still under contract. So if

453
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: Mattingley is going to be here, and I expect Kinseler

454
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 2: to stay here at the price that they got him at. Really,

455
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 2: the biggest free agent, in my opinion is brad Boxburger.

456
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 2: Brad Boxburger who was at times their second best reliever

457
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 2: in their pen, right up there with Gimme, and I'd

458
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,719
Speaker 2: say he pitched some really important endings, even ahead of

459
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 2: James Hoyt. Bocksburger was a guy that they got for.

460
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: They just took a flyer on him. He had a

461
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: long career and then his career kind of nosedive and

462
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: he re established himself this year. So he's if they're

463
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: going to bring him back, he's gonna be due for

464
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 2: a pretty decent raise over what he was earning, like

465
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 2: a million dollars this year, but he could probably get

466
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: more going back into free agency. But I mean, all

467
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 2: things considered, if you know a setup man is your

468
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 2: biggest free agent, then you're feeling pretty good about, you know,

469
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 2: bringing back the same caliber team that you had in

470
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty.

471
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: Real quick switching it up man talking about the great

472
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: job James Ross and our hitting coach is done for

473
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: the Miami Marlins. Same thing we can say about Mels

474
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 1: Sodemy or how how he got these young guys and

475
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: really got them to hit top levels right and continue

476
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: to evolve progress as professionals. On one guy that I

477
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: would love to see be brought in, we had Brian Schneider.

478
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: He was a catching coach for US a couple of

479
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: years back, and I know that he did marvels for JT.

480
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: Round mutto back in the day when he played it

481
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: as Marlin. And the catching coach right now is Eddie

482
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: Rodriguez and Koji Tanaka, and uh, you know what, I

483
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: believe Coagi is a bullpen catcher.

484
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: But what I'm trying to get at, man as we need.

485
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: To get somebody that's gonna get this into the head

486
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: of all Farrow to help his framing out better behind

487
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: the plate, because I'm a big Wally fan, rightfully. So

488
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: while he was gonna be the backup catcher coming into

489
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: this year, we signed Francisco sarah Velli.

490
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 3: Sarah Velli so our hearts, you guys know the whole story.

491
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: And now we're in the playoffs and we had a

492
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: Wally behind the plate because he does a great job framing,

493
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: he does a good job handling the pitching rotation and

494
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: the staff right, but why can't we push that out

495
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: at a whore heel Farrow, Like we need a mind.

496
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: We need somebody to grab young boy and be like, yo,

497
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: come on, Like he's got to take it to heart

498
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: this whole offseason. There's no way that you got to

499
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: be sitting out of the the You got to be

500
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: rocking the bench because you're not doing a good job framing,

501
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: Like we need that bat. And like when he did

502
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: step in, like he wasn't like he was thinking too much,

503
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: Like you know, like we just need him to be

504
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: whore hel Farrow and we can start channing hip hit

505
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: poor hey, and he started hitting fingers opposite field base hits.

506
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: You know, he can start producing and like he has

507
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: a cannon of amarm. He has a cannon of amarm,

508
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: and like he can do a great job behind that plate.

509
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: We just got to work on that framing. And Eddie,

510
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,239
Speaker 1: Eddie Rodriguez, my god, I don't want you to think

511
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm coming at you. I just want you to like

512
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: emphasize this on joorge bro because we need the best

513
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: out of Hooey. How far this team is going to

514
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: take the next step next year because.

515
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 3: We want more. We're going out for more. We're not done.

516
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 2: Well, I'll start with this that if I was to

517
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: make a bet, I would bet that Alfaro is not

518
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 2: the main catcher next year. I think they're gonna acquire

519
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 2: somebody new. Because you finished up on the right note,

520
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 2: you know, they gotta do more. They got to address

521
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 2: that position that was a weakness this year, and I

522
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: don't think Alfaro could be a lot better than it

523
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: was this year. Obviously the COVID knocked him off track.

524
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 2: That's something you got to taken into consideration. You know,

525
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: those consequences are very unpredictable still, even as we're so

526
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 2: far along in this pandemic. But that then said, I mean,

527
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 2: even from his first season with the Marlins, there's a

528
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: lot of inconsistency both sides of the ball, both offensively

529
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 2: and really especially offensively. And if someone who's ever catching

530
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 2: is gonna have to be in the lineup, and it's

531
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 2: gonna have to have a starring spot. And right now,

532
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 2: I don't trust the offense of either of those guys,

533
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: either Alfaro or Wallack. If I was to make a bed,

534
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: I think acquire somebody new. Alfarrow gets pushed to be

535
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 2: the backup. Wallack hangs around it in triple A as depth,

536
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 2: and you really like having three guys in that situation.

537
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 2: The one guy that I'm focused on that I think

538
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: is realistic for them to get in a trade is

539
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 2: probably Christian Vasquez or the Red Sox. I record a

540
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 2: separate pot episode on my own about this that you know,

541
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 2: so up here on the same podcast channel. If you

542
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 2: just scroll down on the feed, you can find that

543
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 2: episode where I finished off talking about Vasquez, who's quietly

544
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 2: been one of the best catchers in all baseball the

545
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 2: last few years. His salary is pretty reasonable. The Red

546
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 2: Sox are on a rebuild. They could really use some

547
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: of the pitching prospects that the Marlins have, and he's

548
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 2: a guy that's still right in the prime of his career,

549
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: and I think that's gonna be a target for them.

550
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 2: He can afford Real Mito. Honestly, I don't even know

551
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: if they can afford James McCann. James mccannon, who is

552
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: also going to be a big free agent catcher.

553
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 3: But I think they're.

554
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: Gonna do something. I don't think they're gonna get rid

555
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 2: of Eddie Rodriguez. You know, this is just his first

556
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 2: year with the organization in this particular capacity on the

557
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: major league staff, And I don't think they're gonna bend

558
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 2: over backwards to bring in a new catching coach just

559
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: to work with al Faro, because I don't think Alfaro

560
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 2: has made himself that big priority. Yet people love Alfaro

561
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 2: for reasons that are I guess that's fair, because he's

562
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 2: a really dynamic player when he when he squares up

563
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 2: the ball, it doesn't come down. You know, some of

564
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: his ball still haven't landed this year. He's fun to watch,

565
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 2: he's got a good style about him, and he's I mean,

566
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 2: I have nothing but positive things to say about who

567
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 2: he is as a person. I just I don't think

568
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: that's your main catcher on a team that you're really

569
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 2: determined to go to the playoffs with. So that's the

570
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: one area, more so than anything else, that I think

571
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 2: they're gonna be willing to make an investment on. I'm

572
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 2: not saying it's a guarantee. This is just if I

573
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 2: was to make a prediction that it's not going to

574
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: be him on opening Day, he could still be around

575
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 2: in some capacity. Sells a lot of potential, and we

576
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 2: saw this year was like the perfect example that even

577
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: guys that get pushed into the backgrounds that you're not

578
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 2: expecting much from that shit happens during the season and

579
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 2: you get pushed into duty. It's next man up. And

580
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 2: this year, if some of those depth pieces they didn't

581
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: step up, the Marlins don't have the season that they had.

582
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: So he still has a potential to be part of

583
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 2: the future of the organization, but you need to build

584
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: up that depth. You need to like really invest in

585
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 2: the major league team if you're expecting to go far,

586
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 2: bringing guys that have had experience, that had success. Christian Vasquez,

587
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: World Series champ just two years ago, worked with a

588
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 2: great pitching staff. He got screwed in twenty twenty. The

589
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: Red Sox made really the worst pitching staff in the

590
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 2: whole league. One of the worst pitching stats we've ever

591
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 2: seen with Red Sox this year, and there's nothing he

592
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: can do about That made him look at But I

593
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 2: think Marlins, if they're going to be committed to improving

594
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: this team and making this a watchable product right now,

595
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: they got opening day tickets on sale, they want to

596
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 2: sell those tickets that they want people to really invest

597
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 2: in this team, then they need to make that investment

598
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: themselves in the payroll.

599
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, some names looking into the free agent class

600
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: for the catchers. We got j t Rel Muttel obviously,

601
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: Robinson Reno's thirty six years old. He's a late bloomer.

602
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: He's been hitting a lot more lately. James McCann, you

603
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: said it yourself. I don't know if Yaddy had leaves

604
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: the cards at all into free agency, that'll be crazy.

605
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: We got robertel Perez, who had some highlight postseason heroics

606
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago with the Indians. He's about

607
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: thirty two years old. Maybe he's a guy that can

608
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: scoop away from the Indians. Who another name that could

609
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: possibly calling attention as a fan is a Jason Cashrow.

610
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 3: You know, but what the hell do I know? Man?

611
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: That's why they got Mike Hill and everybody, And that's

612
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: why they're finalizing negotiating that extension from Mike Hill so

613
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: he can go out there and he and I don't

614
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: have to worry about this, you know what I'm saying.

615
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's gonna be some trades this offseason. It's just

616
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 2: a numbers game. There's only so many guys you can

617
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 2: squeeze on a roster. You need to carry a certain

618
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 2: number of guys on the roster during the winter, otherwise

619
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 2: they're available to other teams and Marlins.

620
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 3: I mean.

621
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: The complication is that they acquired all those new guys

622
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: during the season and they're on the roster, but then

623
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 2: you have other guys coming off the injury list and

624
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: they need a spot, and those are where those decisions

625
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: will need to be made. And they got a surplus

626
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: of actual major league players. So what they do is

627
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: use some of those players in a trade. Some of

628
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 2: those guys that don't necessarily have defined roles on your team,

629
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 2: you send them another team really values them. And I

630
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: don't know whether that be for a catcher. I don't

631
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: know whether that's going to be for another bat, for

632
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 2: another outfield bat. Matt Joyce is out of here, and

633
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 2: you didn't necessarily give them a whole lot. Corey Dickerson

634
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: kind of disappointed this year. So they still have room

635
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: in those corner outfield spots to add if they want

636
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: to do it. In their bullpen too. With the bullpen

637
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 2: at times it was really solid, but it wouldn't hurt

638
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: to bring in someone else that has a lot of

639
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: strikeout potential. So there's gonna be places where they could

640
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: add and they got the ammunition. They have the depth

641
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 2: to trade from trade league rookie guys for veterans that

642
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: are more established, for guys that have more on the resume,

643
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 2: So I expect them to do that a little bit.

644
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: What I wanted to get into with you on the

645
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: pod is something that I wrote up on the site

646
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 2: a few days ago. Are twenty twenty Fishies Awards for

647
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 2: what happened with the team this year. All the individual

648
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: players that get a big shout out. I don't know

649
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: if any of them are going to get these national

650
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 2: awards this year, but we still got remembered the ones

651
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 2: that had that were really successful, that made this fun

652
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: ride possible that we're riding the wave all the way

653
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 2: to the playoffs, and make sure we remember them. So

654
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 2: I'm going to go through some of the picks that

655
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: I had and we're gonna hear what you got, and

656
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: we start with the big one, which is the Team MVP.

657
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 2: So from for this one, I went there was a

658
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 2: few choices that are really neck and neck and neck

659
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: for Team MVP, but I ultimately went with Pablo Lopez,

660
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: who's the one guy on the starting rotation the entire year,

661
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: from start to finish, he took that big step forward.

662
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 2: And you know, he struggled a lot in twenty nineteen.

663
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: He had a couple really rough individual games, and he

664
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 2: took a big step forward this year with just everything

665
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 2: like really controlling the game very consistent, with just a

666
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 2: couple of little exceptions, and he pitched a couple of

667
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 2: the most important games during the entire year. That first

668
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: came back from the COVID shutdown, He shut down the

669
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: Orioles and that was part of a shutout that put

670
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: them on that great winning streak that really put them

671
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: in playoff position, and they never left because as the

672
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 2: momentum they got from that game, and right as things

673
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: were starting to get away from them the final week

674
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 2: of the year, remember they were in Atlanta. They lost

675
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: three games in a row, a couple of them really ugly.

676
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: It looks like they might give away this playoff spot

677
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 2: that they were running out of. Steam sat through a

678
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 2: really long range delay in the final game of that

679
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 2: series and came up on the mounds and he was shoving,

680
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: and he led them to a close victory over the

681
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: Braves in that game, and that put them around the

682
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: doorstep of making the playoffs. That was one time that

683
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: it was a definite must win situation and he stepped

684
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: up for that. And I'm even wrapping it into the playoffs.

685
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 2: You know, he made his playoff debut during the NLDS

686
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: and he didn't get any run support in that game,

687
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 2: but he was really impressive his first time out on

688
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 2: that big stage. He's one of the leaders of this team.

689
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's necessarily the ace of this

690
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 2: team moving forward, but just his full year, what he

691
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: contributed this year, he gets my vote for Team MVP.

692
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 2: So this is where we go to you who comes

693
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: to minds if you were yet one player most.

694
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: Values, most valuable to me was Brian Anderson. Brian Anderson,

695
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: he was a staple, the number five hitter for the

696
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: majority of the year. I think it was like ninety

697
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: percent of the games. He was the number five hitter

698
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: for Don Mattinglee in the Miami Marlins, and he came

699
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: together his bat.

700
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 3: You know, he had eleven home runs thirty eight RBIs.

701
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 3: You know, the average.

702
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: Wasn't beautiful, but he was getting the job done. He

703
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: was pushing and runs across when this team really needed it.

704
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: So my vote goes down for Brian Anderson. Hashtag payba dammit,

705
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: hey could follow up with the cy Young. I'm gonna

706
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: follow up with the Cy Young. I'm going with Pablo.

707
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm going with your MVP. I'm going with Pablo Lopez.

708
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: Because Pablo Lopez, like you said he was, he was

709
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: the heart and soul this rotation, Like he really took

710
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: the ball. He was the guy with most innings pitched

711
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: out of his whole rotation, and by far, I think

712
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: he had maybe like twelve or sixteen more innings pitched

713
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: to the second guy behind him. I believe it was

714
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: Sandy al Contra. So it was cool to see Pablo

715
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: come together this year, mature more as a man, as

716
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: an individual and as a professional.

717
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 3: You know.

718
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: He he we sent out his condolences to his family.

719
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: His father passed away earlier this year, and he was

720
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: stuck in the whole hotel room during the whole COVID thing,

721
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: and like he would think about his pops. He would

722
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: talk about how he would go out there to the

723
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: mound and just feel right and that his pops was

724
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: with him, and he just wanted to make him proud,

725
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,479
Speaker 1: and like you should be proud Pablo, because your dad

726
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: left the hell of a man here on planet Earth,

727
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And like he's proud of you,

728
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: and all of Martin's Nation's proud of you, and all

729
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: the ven As will look proud of you, and like

730
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: he did a hell of a job. I know Don

731
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: Maddeley is proud of him, and like next year he's

732
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: going to take it to another level. He's going to

733
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: turn into a solid number two guy right behind Sandy

734
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: al Contra. One guy that I was disappointed that we

735
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: didn't get to really see be with us the entire

736
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: season because the injury bug caught him was Lelo Hernandez

737
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: Eliez or Hernanez, who was given a money He was

738
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: given a punch for punch, a run for his money

739
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: to Pablo Lopez before he went down to the injury.

740
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: I think Leelo Hernandez could have might possibly been our

741
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: team cy young winner.

742
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 2: That's a good one. I know you're you're on team

743
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 2: Lilo the entire year.

744
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: I remember that, and yeah we had that bet, damn it,

745
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: and the injury defaulted the bet. But Leelo, we wish

746
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: you a speedy recovery. Another guy we wish a speedy

747
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: recovery too. Is Jose Urina all right?

748
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 3: Yo? You pity braves fans that were celebrating that he

749
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 3: got hurt. That's pity, bro. You don't celebrate somebody getting hurt.

750
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, with Jose, I don't. That's another possible goodbye. I mean,

751
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: I mentioned on Twitter yesterday that it's official that Adam

752
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 2: Connelly is officially out of the organization. They designated him

753
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 2: for assignment at the trade deadline, but they still kept

754
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: him technically, you know, on paper, he was still in

755
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: Marlin in September, and then right at the end of

756
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 2: the season he elected free agency. He's gone, and they're

757
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: going to be in a similar situation with Urania because

758
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's one of the top five

759
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 2: starters on the team getting into next year, but yet

760
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 2: he's going to get a raised because he is arbitration eligible.

761
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 2: He's gonna be in the four million dollar range. And

762
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 2: even as someone that gets a lot of respect in

763
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 2: that clubhouse, and he really does. I don't know if

764
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: people know that, but I mean, the teammates really trusting him,

765
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 2: and he's a guy that you'll pew back, that tough layer,

766
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: that that mean face that you know, that attitude that

767
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 2: he's he's a good guy, and so for that reason

768
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 2: they I don't think it's a done deal that he's gone,

769
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 2: but that's gonna be a decision for them to make,

770
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 2: and one that I wouldn't be surprised he's gone after

771
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 2: this year. So we'll see where that goes.

772
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: I've said it before and I'll say it again. Man,

773
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: Jose Regno, he's been the bulldog for this team. You know,

774
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. I know where you're going

775
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: that there's a cert plus of pitching on this team.

776
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: He's a valuable guy other clubs. I know that you

777
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: guys listening to Marlin's barbecue. Other clubs are gonna need

778
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: a guy like Jose Regno. Okay, because if you need

779
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: a starter, jse Irange is a guy. If you need

780
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: a guy coming out of the bullpen, he's your guy

781
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: coming out of the pen. Like Jose Range is a

782
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: guy that, yeah, you talked about He's got a mean face.

783
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: He looks like a bulldog and everything, but you really

784
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: when I say bulldog, it's his work ethic.

785
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 3: Bro.

786
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: Just going to see him in spring training last year

787
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: before the whole Covid thing struck. It was cool to

788
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: see him talking to the guys, to the catchers, to

789
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: the Samuel Concerce, to the younger guys and telling him, Yo,

790
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: we gotta go out there, like, don't let these guys

791
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: punk us. We're gonna go out there and we're gonna

792
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: punk them. We're gonna shock them, and like, dude, that's

793
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. The fighting fish mentality and the

794
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: way that he's pumping these guys up.

795
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 3: If he's gone.

796
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: Jose Renya, thank you so much for everything that you

797
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,719

Speaker 1: I met people out in Washington, DC. I went to

847
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: the Capitol last weekend. It was pretty cool, checked it out.

848
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: I was really going over there because I was hoping

849
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: that the Marlins I could steal some of that magic

850
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 1: from the Nationals Park, so maybe send it out that way.

851
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,680

858
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:00,799

865
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: You're walking in some random city, like, oh, you're walking

873
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 2: somewhat of a bad experience with the merch that you ordered.

874
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 2: It was and not just ones that came from fanatics.

875
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 2: I think other people that went straight through the MLB

876
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 2: shop online really long delays. You know that the same

877
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 2: thing where right in the moment where you actually want

878
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 2: this stuff. Even if you are the first on board,

879
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 2: you know, you get ahead of this, you order it

880
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 2: that the delays just are unacceptable and that's yeah, that's

881
00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 2: too bad, something that they definitely got to fix moving forward.

882
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 2: And yeah, shout out to our friends at Breaking Tea

883
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 2: came up with some great T shirts for this year,

884
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 2: and we're gonna keep in partnership with them heading into

885
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 2: the off season. When the Marlins do anything good during

886
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 2: the off season, they make that big trade, they make

887
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: that big free agent signing, they extend BA maybe a

888
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: pay Va shirt, you know, anything that when these big

889
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 2: storylines come up during the off season, we're going to

890
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 2: stay on top of it because it's it's a lot

891
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 2: of fun. They do a great job over there and

892
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 2: really capturing the emotion that we're all feeling and the

893
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 2: energy around the different things going on in the Marlins

894
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 2: fan base. It's it's been a lot of fun. It's

895
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 2: been pretty lucky from my standpoint, from the people that

896
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 2: actually go into our website and interacting on our website,

897
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 2: that's been way up. We've been pretty lucky with that.

898
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 2: You know, some of it's out of your control.

899
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 3: We had some good.

900
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 2: Times in twenty nineteen twenty eighteen during the rebuilds. But

901
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 2: when the teams only winning, you know, thirty percent of

902
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: its games, forty percent of its games, there's only so

903
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 2: much to talk about, especially when we get later on

904
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 2: in the year. Someone you're lying on the team to

905
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 2: take that step up, there's no doubt about it. Then

906
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 2: when the team does better, gives us a lot more

907
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 2: material to go into, a lot more ideas on our minds.

908
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 2: It gives us, you know, the motivations to start extra podcasts.

909
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 2: And so I'm pretty thankful for that. We just got

910
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 2: in the middle of this fun year and able to

911

Speaker 2: ride the wave a little bit and whatever it is
