Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't go wrong.

34
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball City, like I said, to start tomorrow afternoon.

35
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: I think some games were postponed already due to inclement weather.

36
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: But Jemy, the first tame I'd ask you is, you know,

37
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 1: a month and a half ago, I think there was

38
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: almost no certainty that this season would start on time.

39
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: We had no idea that we're going to get any

40
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: sort of Major League baseball. So how great is it that, Hey,

41
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: we're finally here tomorrow, there's gonna be major League baseball happening.

42
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: I have been in such a good mood all day

43
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: because it finally does feel like that, like today specifically

44
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: as we're talking here on Wednesday, like it's been so

45
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 3: awesome to know, Okay, hey, baseball's coming along. It's going

46
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: to be a full season and we're just gonna experience

47
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: what I think we all were a little worried wouldn't

48
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: happen this year, which is just a full season of

49
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: Major League baseball, And from a Marlin's perspective, with what

50
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: the last few years have been, with sort of like

51
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 3: the up and downs, particularly the last two years in

52
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: the way that they've kind of gone differently and you

53
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 3: had pandemic based ball in the middle of all of it,

54
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: to sort of be like, all right, everything is sort

55
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 3: of back to normal from from that standpoint, from a

56
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: league perspective, you know, even from from the media side,

57
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: We're getting to be around the guys in a more

58
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 3: intimate way now, you know, just by being back in

59
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: the clubhouse, Like there's just so much more to look

60
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 3: forward to in a real baseball season. And so when

61
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: it was in jeopardy, it was awful. You know, nobody,

62
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 3: nobody wanted this season to be cut short and to

63
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 3: know that we're now going to get the full slate

64
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: after a shortened spring training, Like it's kind of snuck

65
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: up on us here, or at least for me, you know,

66
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: covering a couple of other sports as well, So it's

67
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: been really exciting, and I, yeah, I just can't wait

68
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: for baseball.

69
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 4: Yeah man, I mean, let's let's get into baseball with

70
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 4: the Marlins. I mean, they had an interesting offseason, definitely

71
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 4: the best one since Jeter and Sherman came in.

72
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: But Jeter dead leave.

73
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 4: So let's talk about the moves in general. Let's grade

74
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 4: this offseason in a way, you know, describe to us

75
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 4: what you're thoughts were on all the moves made, starting

76
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 4: with Lewis Head and ending it off with the most

77
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: recent new Marlin, Cole Solcer. So let's get right into that.

78
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 4: And then I think Isaac will give us great and

79
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 4: I will as well.

80
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, look, the Marlins made a number of moves,

81
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: and obviously, as we've sort of gone through, I'm sure

82
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 3: that I don't need to, you know, matriculate through every

83
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: single one of them, but I would say that in general,

84
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 3: their ability here and these last couple of moves in particular,

85
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: solidified this as a solid offseason, right like this was

86
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: this was a good offseason for the Miami Marlins, like

87
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: whether whether it was what everyone necessarily wanted it to

88
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: be in a particular way. Some people wanted one star

89
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: signed right as opposed to maybe a couple of you know,

90
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 3: solid players, a couple of you know plus players, guys

91
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: who elevate your roster in Jorge Soelaire and vs. L Garcia.

92
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: But I mean to me, when you look at just

93
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 3: the difference right now now from where the Marlins stood

94
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: last year and particularly at the end of last year,

95
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: to where they are right now, there's no way to

96
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: say it's anything worse than a bee right like it

97
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: was a I would probably say it's like a B

98
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 3: to a B plus of an off season. And depending

99
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: on what certain players do in terms of the way

100
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: that they perform, one guy who I really don't think,

101
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: you know, should be should be underestimated in terms of

102
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: what that move was was for Joey Wendell. I think

103
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: Joey Wendle is going to play a lot, and I

104
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 3: think he's going to make a huge impact on this team.

105
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 3: And the biggest thing that and I was thinking about

106
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: it earlier this morning, but the biggest thing that when

107
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: I look at their off season, that I can sit

108
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 3: here and think about and now that Brian de la Cruz,

109
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: at least, you know, according to reports, is going to

110
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: be on the opening day roster. We look at a

111
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: team with real depth. We look at a team that

112
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: can perform this season from positions of strength. They can

113
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: play guys who are playing well, and if they're not

114
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: playing well, they have other options. They can play guys

115
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: based off matchups, and those splits aren't so drastic to

116
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: where really, you know, putting in the right handed hitter

117
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: to replace a left handed hitter or vice versa in

118
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: a platoon sometimes for the Marlins, last year was really

119
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,799
Speaker 3: just about getting one guy a day off and playing

120
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 3: someone who was significantly worse. Now, when those things happen,

121
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: that's that's not going to be the drop off, right,

122
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: You're going to be playing guys who are actually in

123
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: the lineup for their strengths. One of the time, you

124
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: have a gold glove catcher behind the plate, which is

125
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 3: a giant upgrade from where you were last year defensively

126
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 3: behind the plate. And so to look at what this

127
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: team looks like now, it has me excited for the

128
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 3: season and do I think that they're going to win

129
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: the division. No, I think projecting that right now would

130
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: be you know, it would be too much, It would

131
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 3: be an overstatement, and it wouldn't be accurate to analyze

132
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 3: the team. But do I think that, like, if everything

133
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: goes right, this could be a team that's you know,

134
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: competing through September and at least, you know, making a

135
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 3: run at a playoff spot.

136
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: Sure?

137
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 3: Why not? Because there are enough pieces that are interchangeable

138
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: that that especially with what they've acquired this offseason, that

139
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: make you believe in the potential of this team. And

140
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 3: so again, a lot would need to go right for

141
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 3: that to happen, right, or rather an avoiding of so

142
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: many things going wrong. I think when we look at

143
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: the last two years, maybe you split the difference. In

144
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: twenty twenty, everything went right. I mean, of course, that's

145
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: after sixty percent of the team caught COVID in the

146
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: middle of a very scary time. So to say everything

147
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: went right maybe as revision as history. But from there

148
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: it felt like every bounce right that Baltimore series, everything

149
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: went right for the Marlins, and last year everything went wrong.

150
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 3: Nobody was healthy at the same time, trades needed to happen.

151
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: All of these things that ultimately went down for the Marlins.

152
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: It felt like everything that could have gone wrong went wrong.

153
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 3: And so now if you split the difference, even with

154
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 3: the the skill that's been acquired, you got to imagine

155
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: this is a much better Marlins team this season.

156
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 4: Definitely, this is and I and I was telling Isaac

157
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 4: and some of the other guys off camera that this

158
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: is probably the best team that we've seen in the past,

159
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 4: you know, five years with Jeter and Sherman taking over.

160
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 4: So going into the next question, Jorge Silaire signed with

161
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 4: a team three years, thirty six million, two opt outs

162
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 4: after the first season and the second season. This wasn't

163
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 4: the perfect fit at the time for the team. As

164
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 4: you know, we have a v Siljyeseus and then Brian

165
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 4: de la Cruz Noah's guy who you know who were.

166
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: Expected to see in center field.

167
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 4: But Horty Selaar can't play centerfield, a visl can't play

168
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 4: it correct well. And now we know he's Usanchiuz who's

169
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 4: going to be the center fielder after Okay, spring it

170
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 4: wasn't the greatest one. He will be in center field.

171
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 4: So what are your thoughts on the Selaire signing, and

172
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 4: how do you think, you know, him being Cuban will

173
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 4: help the community possibly even fill up the stands and

174
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 4: lone depot.

175
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, anytime, I'll start there first and

176
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 3: then work my way back toward his impact in the lineup.

177
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: That's always fun, right, And like the Marlins are really

178
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: focusing on and this is not from a roster state,

179
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 3: Like they didn't sign Jorge Hilaire because he's Cuban, right,

180
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 3: Like that's like, let's put that out there. Let's like

181
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: make that abundantly clear to begin with, right, But having

182
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 3: guys who can relate to people within the community is

183
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: only a good thing, and the Marlins are trying to essentially,

184
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: it feels like they're trying to be a team that

185
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 3: is hyper local. And I think that that's like in

186
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: just in the way that you look around, like you

187
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: look at the stadium, you look at the food and

188
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 3: the local options that exist within the stadium now that

189
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 3: aren't your traditional ballpark food. There's all sorts of Hispanic

190
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 3: twists on meals. You know that there's a ton of

191
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: different things that are making the Marlins want to feel

192
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 3: hyper local. And so the idea that you're bringing in

193
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: guys who can relate to the people within the commun

194
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 3: unity is is just an added bonus to the player

195
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 3: who you brought in. And so when you look at

196
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 3: the player who you brought in in Jorge Cilaire, the

197
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: guy can't mash, you know what I mean. And it's

198
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 3: particularly cool news given the fact that Solair power, given

199
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 3: the fact that I think he's going to be your

200
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 3: lead off hitter like and and I I think that

201
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: that's playing to a more modern lineup that the Marlins

202
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 3: really haven't been able to put together over the last

203
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 3: few years. When when you look at the sort of

204
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 3: traditional way in which they were laying out their order

205
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: in the last few years, because you didn't necessarily have

206
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 3: guys who could thrive at the top of the order

207
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 3: who were also full of power, like Jorgezilaire and so,

208
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: like you guys said, at the moment, I think when

209
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 3: Solaire signed, everyone was still in that mode of hay

210
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 3: trade for centerfielder sign as centerfielder. You know, there were

211
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 3: specific names that people were growing attached to. There were

212
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 3: also other power hitting options that people had been attached

213
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: to who had signed in the previous couple of days before,

214
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 3: and so it became, Oh, WHOA, what's gonna happen? Right

215
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: to me? Horaez Olaire is a fit in that Obviously,

216
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 3: given what the what the Marlins have shown us based

217
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 3: off their spring training and what they're going into the

218
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: season with, they view Jesus Sanchez's athleticism in center field

219
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 3: as enough to get by in playing center field that

220
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: it's not going to cost them games given what he

221
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: can give them at the plate. That's the decision they've

222
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 3: made there, especially considering and this is the part about

223
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 3: having Brian day Lacruze that that does actually like genuinely

224
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: excite me about him being on a roster is that

225
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 3: when he's a late inning replacement, I'm not afraid to

226
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: have him go up to hit right right, like like

227
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: he's a he's a legitimate hitter. He's a legitimate in

228
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 3: my view, he's a legitimate major league hitter. And coming

229
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: out of the last season, I was like, Hey, if

230
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 3: they don't do anything in the outfield, I'm cool he's

231
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 3: playing center field every day. I'd love to see it

232
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 3: for the first couple of months, right Like that was

233
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 3: the mood I was in when last season ended. So

234
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 3: to know that he's your true, like fourth outfielder, and

235
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: then Brian Anderson is gonna be used sort of all

236
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 3: over the place in this you know, Chris Bryant light

237
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 3: type of way. If we're gonna go based off Donnie's words, right,

238
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 3: based off the at least the description of athleticism, right like,

239
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 3: and that's fair, that's fair in terms of, you know,

240
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 3: if you want to go athleticism, but like, if Brian

241
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: de la Cruz is good like that, hey, hot, take

242
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 3: Brian dey la Cruz good at baseball, and so having

243
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: him as as your fourth outfielder where now, if if

244
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 3: for some reason Hayzus Sanchez is struggling, not significantly, but

245
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 3: it's just not a natural center fielder and you want

246
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 3: a laid ending replacement, there's the guy. And if for

247
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 3: some reason Jesus Sanchez cannot play center field and it

248
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: becomes abundantly clear, well then the Marlins have to then

249
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 3: figure out their platoons from there, and Brian dey la

250
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: Cruz becomes that guy on the every day at least,

251
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 3: I would imagine, and then they'll have to figure out

252
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: what they do with that DH spot and the corner

253
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 3: outfields between Garcia Solaire Aguilar and Cooper. But it's kind

254
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: of a good problem to have, right that that you

255
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 3: that you do have options after And I'm not saying

256
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 3: it's a good problem to have that that you don't

257
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: know for sure that your center fielder can man centerfield

258
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 3: the way that you would like, but it at least

259
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: is good that now, again because of the guys they've

260
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: brought in, And this goes back to the Solair signing, Right,

261
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 3: that's just a good baseball player. That's another good guy

262
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 3: that's gonna be in your lineup, So we'll figure out

263
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 3: how to get him in there later. And I think

264
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: it's almost like looking at at at some of these

265
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: teams that have have have done it before. You look

266
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 3: even at teams like the Rays, who they don't really

267
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 3: decide anybody's playing any specific position, and their benefit has

268
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:03,359
Speaker 3: been they've had certain cornerstones that have been gold glovers

269
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 3: and that's made up for any other deficiencies. But they've

270
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 3: just tried to bring the best out of the guys

271
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: that they already have, and that's that's what the Marlins

272
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: are trying to do here. So I don't know, I

273
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: think they're in a decent spot.

274
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what made it really peculiar that they had

275
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: originally originally sent DLC down because I think not only

276
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: the defensive replacement thing you've mentioned it offensively. Let's say

277
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: Pacy Sanders having a really tough day at the plate

278
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: over three or three k's and a top notch left

279
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: handed reliever comes in, Josh Hader. You can also just

280
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: plug in Brian Dayla Cruz, who you know is it

281
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: would give up a good at bat as well, and

282
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: you can hold his own in center. So I think

283
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: the way the roster ended up, coming out and travel

284
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: to San Francisco as we speak, I think it's perfect. Obviously,

285
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: it's not like the perfect fitting roster because you lack

286
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: that center field center fielder and you have a couple

287
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: of corner outfield first basement types, but the.

288
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 2: DH helps in a myriad of ways.

289
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: Another reason why the team's going to be I think

290
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: at least has a high four for this season as

291
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: a rotation. You obviously have a big three, and Luzardo

292
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: seems prime for a big breakout season. Max Meyer, I found,

293
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: I think you were watching last night, shoved a bunch

294
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: of Red Sox top prospects, including Jeter Downs Tristan Cossas,

295
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: and he looked phenomenal. The two runs he gave up

296
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: were sort of like, there's strange in the way he

297
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: was a hit bat, hit batter and a wild pitch.

298
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: Where would you like to see Max Meyer to begin?

299
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: Obviously gonna be in TRIBAA, but how soon would you

300
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: like him in the major league?

301
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 3: Oh? Man, that's such a that's such a tough question.

302
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 3: I I love that, dude. I'm obsessed with Max Meyer.

303
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 3: I think that he's going to be a terrific major

304
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 3: league pitcher. And you know, it's a it's a complicated

305
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 3: question that you ask when when you say when would

306
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: I like to see Max Meyer? Because I think it

307
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 3: it truly is dependent on the first month of the

308
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: season's results for the Marlins, right because if the Marlins

309
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 3: get off to, you know, a really slow start, then

310
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: there's no reason to to rush the kid. But at

311
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 3: the same time, like to me, my feeling almost always

312
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 3: is if someone's ready, if it's abundantly clear that a

313
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: person is ready to play at the major league level,

314
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: we should just be playing them at the major league level.

315
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: Like that's every team across Major League Baseball. But this

316
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: is all that mindset also operates in a bubble, right,

317
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: And when you do look at the Marlins, they have

318
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: a specific rotation, and the five guys that are supposed

319
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: to be there deserve to be there. You know, they're

320
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 3: major league pitchers, So there is a bit of a

321
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: log jam, right, Like, So if all is if all

322
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 3: is going according to plan from a health perspective, but

323
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 3: not from a record perspective, and you've got this healthy

324
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 3: starting rotation right of all of these guys, but you've

325
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: just sort of started slow. They're not going to rush

326
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 3: Max Meyer up. But say say the Marlins start kind

327
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: of hot, and say there's one or two starters you know,

328
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: who were just pitching. Okay, would I be shocked if

329
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 3: we saw Max Meyern?

330
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: May?

331
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 3: No? I mean I wouldn't like because he's that good,

332
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 3: and there's no reason why you don't just immediately like

333
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 3: to me, if the way I view it, if you're

334
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 3: the Marlins in particular, right, and you look at one

335
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty two game season and you look at

336
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: your rotation, if you get off to one of those

337
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 3: types of starts where it's like twenty and ten, right,

338
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 3: something like that, where you just get off to a

339
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,239
Speaker 3: blistering hot start, and that again, this is all hypothetical, right,

340
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: that's probably not how this is gonna go.

341
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 2: I wish it did, right, it.

342
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: Might, but I would hope that they're playing at least

343
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 3: five hundred ball, right, But say they're even five or

344
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 3: six games above five hundred at the end of a

345
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 3: month and they're sitting right near the top of the division. Essentially,

346
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: the game from there is, Okay, play about five hundred

347
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 3: baseball the rest of the season, and you're.

348
00:17:58,600 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: Gonna you're in.

349
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 3: We're going to make the playoffs. Yeah, So why not

350
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 3: now add something that's electric to your rotation and just

351
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 3: start rolling out as much talent as you can so

352
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 3: that that would go with the same deal. If you know,

353
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 3: if any hitters who were at that level, at the

354
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 3: Triple A level were just blistering hot, bring them up, man,

355
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 3: make them a part of it, because I think now

356
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 3: the Marlins have shown like, all right, they they have

357
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 3: spent some money here, so they want to no matter

358
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: how much money that is, they've spent money, and that

359
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 3: means they want to win more, right now, So go

360
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: ahead and start adding any talent. To me, why not

361
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 3: start adding talent that can help you win. To me,

362
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 3: the five guys that are there deserve to be there,

363
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: and so there's no reason that Max Meyer should be

364
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 3: in the opening day rotation, right, All five guys who

365
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 3: are in that starting rotation deserve to be there. And

366
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 3: I have no issue with starting Max Meyer and Triple A.

367
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 3: But if and when the time comes that it makes

368
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 3: sense to bring them up and you think it can

369
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 3: upgrade your team, you do it. Like that's my that's

370
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 3: my view.

371
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: I think the way that this team could have been

372
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: upgraded immensely was to have Max Meyer on that flight

373
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: and in the opening day bullpen. I thought that that

374
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: was just a slam dunk of a thing that would

375
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: make the team so much better.

376
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: Like you said, those five guys in the rotation, all

377
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: of them are more than deserving.

378
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: A lot of them would be third spat on the

379
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: rotation or higher on many other teams. But I imagine

380
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: having that right handed Josh Hater come out of the

381
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: bullpen in San Francisco when you need it. Let's say

382
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: Eliezer that fastball slader combination followed by Max Meyer's fastball

383
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: slader combination, And I agree with.

384
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 3: You, like his his fact. He you could call him

385
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 3: up right now, and he would be a legit great reliever.

386
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 3: I think, like that's that's how I feel. It's all

387
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 3: a question of how do you manage an arm like that?

388
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 3: And like not to like, but I don't believe Max

389
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 3: Meyer has had Tommy John yet in his career at

390
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 3: any point, and so like as messed up as this

391
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: is to say, everybody's a ticking clock, Like every single

392
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: picture it feels like, is gonna have Tommy John at

393
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 3: some point in their lives. And so like there's an

394
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: argument to be made, Hey, just bring him up as

395
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: a reliever, let him pitch until he blows out his arm,

396
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 3: and then bring him back as a starter later on.

397
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 3: Or you could say, hey, we need to be careful

398
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 3: here and we don't want to mess with this guy

399
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 3: too much. Who we believe And I think all three

400
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 3: of us on this Zoom believe, and I believe the

401
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 3: Marlins believe is going to be in like an ace someday.

402
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: And so maybe you see more of a David Price

403
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 3: situation happened right where again, if the Marlins are in it,

404
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 3: that's when you bring him up to be a reliever,

405
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 3: even if the starters are doing well. You bring him

406
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 3: up to be a part of that bullpen, even though

407
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: he's a future starter, because hey, we got to make

408
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 3: a push down the stretch, and rather than trading a

409
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 3: bat for a reliever, we're just gonna call up one

410
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: of our own and make our team better. Right, That's

411
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: something you could see, But again it's with Max Meyer.

412
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 3: It's all very dependent on what the team's record is

413
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 3: at different stages of the season where you could or

414
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 3: would see him.

415
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 4: And I think the biggest, the best example of this

416
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 4: was Shane Bobs. Not just he didn't come in the bullpen,

417
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 4: but I I'm correct, he was a starter. He started

418
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 4: for the Rais and he was a big part of

419
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 4: that playoff team that from correct out to the Alds

420
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 4: against the Red Sox and then lost. So that's a

421
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 4: great example there. And then Kyle Seeloff mentioned this on

422
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 4: the radio. You've probably heard it, Isaac. The Angels are

423
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 4: doing this the six men rotation. Is that something that

424
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 4: you would like to see. And then you add either

425
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 4: an Eddie Cabrera or a Max Meyer at some point

426
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 4: or Maxmyr and the bullpen. I think that's probably the

427
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 4: best way right now. But if you're going to the

428
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 4: trade deadline, Miami is five games over five hundred. Pablo's

429
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 4: just lights out, Aliezer's having a great season. Do you

430
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 4: think that's something that the Marlin should do? And let's say,

431
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 4: let's add another just sounded, another dominant arm of Max Meyer,

432
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 4: and let's and let's let's just do this. Let's go

433
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 4: for it.

434
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 3: Hey, you know, first of all, I'm loving these hypotheticals

435
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 3: because this is the best part about the day before

436
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 3: the baseball season, right, is that everybody can do this.

437
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 3: Every single team can have their like best case scenario

438
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: conversations and they're realistic because baseball is one of the

439
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 3: weirdest sports in the world. And you the Giants can

440
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: win one hundred games last year, you know what I mean? Like, like,

441
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 3: that's what's so wonderful about about all of this, And

442
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 3: so to me, I think that actually sounds like a

443
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 3: great idea, right, particularly when you do have Trevor Rodgers

444
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 3: in his second full season of a real workload, hopefully

445
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 3: working a little bit more. You got Pablo Lopez, who,

446
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 3: let's be realistic, has struggled to make it through a

447
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 3: number of seasons healthy. You got Sandy who's strong, a

448
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 3: lot of innings and plans to throw a lot more.

449
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 3: Eliezer's a guy who you know it. I don't imagine

450
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 3: that workload is really an issue for him because he's

451
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 3: he's he's not throwing as often. But I don't think

452
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 3: it's gonna hurt you if he's throwing a little bit less.

453
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 3: And then Jesus Lozardo another young guy who's never pitched

454
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 3: a full season. So adding a sixth starter simply to

455
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 3: reduce the innings of everybody else would be something that

456
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: would make sense for this team later in the season.

457
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 3: And I feel that way if they're competing, right like,

458
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 3: because that's that's the key part here, right where it's like,

459
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 3: if they're competing, and so it is, hey, all five

460
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 3: of you, you're pitching through the full season, and we

461
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 3: want you pitching, you know, into the playoffs. Possibly, then

462
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 3: adding that sixth starter would make sense, even if it

463
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 3: wasn't somebody as elite as Max s Meyer, like, it

464
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 3: would make sense even if it was just, hey, we're

465
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 3: gonna throw Dan Castano in here as another guy.

466
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: No Italian, no Italian stallion.

467
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 3: I don't mean that, I hold on, I like Dan Cassetti.

468
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 3: That was not meant as slander. That was just meant

469
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: that was not meant as slander. That was meant just

470
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 3: specifically not to use the name Max Meyer, the premise

471
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 3: being if it was him or Braxton Garrett or whoever, Like,

472
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 3: if the Marlins were to decide in July, hey, looks

473
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 3: like we're competing, let's let's let's trade for another arm

474
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 3: and Adams of the rotation, or let's bring up one

475
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 3: of our own guys. Either way, it would make sense

476
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 3: right to try to use that as a means to

477
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 3: reduce innings for your starters. Rather than doing the spots

478
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 3: start thing and having them skip starts. You just add

479
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 3: an extra day of rest to the rotation and automatically

480
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: there's probably one less start for each guy, if not more,

481
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 3: you know, depending on how long you do it. So yeah,

482
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 3: I think it would make a lot of sense. Like,

483
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 3: but it is simply dependent on how good the team

484
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 3: is because if and this is even if they're hanging

485
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 3: around right, because like, they don't have to be right

486
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 3: in the thick of a race. They've just got to

487
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 3: be within striking distance of getting back into a race.

488
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 3: Because I think this season the Marlins will operate that

489
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 3: way of like all right, We're like, we're trying to

490
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 3: get there period, right, So if we're near it, we're

491
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: not gonna now use that as a means to break

492
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 3: things down. We're gonna use that as a means to

493
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 3: build things up. And that's sort of the hope here.

494
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 3: That's what they started with this offseason, and you would

495
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,239
Speaker 3: think they're in position, particularly with what that farm system is,

496
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 3: to continue to upgrade if need be come the trade deadline.

497
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 3: So I think that's a wonderful idea. I mean, now,

498
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 3: let me, on principle say I hate the way that

499
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 3: we baby arms, and I think it's all dumb, and

500
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 3: everybody should be throwing one hundred innings every month and

501
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 3: just overthrowing, and every game a starter's coming out after

502
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: five innings drives me completely insane. But god, when it's

503
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: like four and a third and we act like that's

504
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 3: a good thing, Oh my god. But that said, yes,

505
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 3: in the way that we need to manage arms in

506
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 3: the concept of Major League Baseball, the Marlins would be

507
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: smart to do something like.

508
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 4: Especially since a guy like Alias is a little bit

509
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 4: injury prone. Pablo hasn't been able to pitch a full season,

510
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 4: and then the last hypothetical I want to, you know,

511
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 4: ask you here, is let's move Alason to the bullpen,

512
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 4: a guy who doesn't pitch too many innings, injury prone

513
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 4: ad Max Smeyer. Yeah, even if he's the fifth starter

514
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 4: on the team. Is that something that you would be

515
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 4: for because that's Aliazer. That's something that we've been I

516
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 4: think talking for about even since before the lockout, since

517
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 4: he had his second injury with Pittsburgh, like saying, let's

518
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 4: move him over to the bullpen so he doesn't risk injury. Although,

519
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 4: to be honest, that injury in Pittsburgh was you know,

520
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 4: he was running the base.

521
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean things things can be a little fluky.

522
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 3: But I would say I do think and I do

523
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 3: it myself because of all of the biases that I

524
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 3: literally just told you like a minute and a half ago.

525
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: I think sometimes we don't appreciate how good Eliezer actually is.

526
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 3: A he's a very good pitcher, and he's and he's

527
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 3: improved a lot every time he's either come back from

528
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 3: injury or just like gone into the next season. He

529
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 3: he's good and he continuously improves upon his game. And

530
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: so until I see him struggle or you know, not

531
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 3: prove that he can sort of play the role that

532
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 3: the Marlins have him, you know, pencil to play. I'm

533
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 3: not so quick to move him that said, of course

534
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 3: he would be. I mean, it would make a lot

535
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 3: of sense that he would be a good reliever, like it.

536
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 3: I know that. I don't believe the numbers in his

537
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 3: career so far as a reliever indicate that. But I

538
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 3: think if there was a legitimate move there. Oh hey,

539
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 3: is there any chance that I could pause with you

540
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: guys real quick and answer a phone call?

541
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

542
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: Is that okay? I'm sorry, You're give me one sec

543
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 3: one sec.

544
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: To just sort of throw out one more hypothetical at you,

545
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna get into some of the rule

546
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: changes really quick.

547
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: That's all right? Do it all right? I think we've

548
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 2: all sort of maybe grown even fonder of Max Meyer.

549
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: So Miami's in it? Is it like a slam dunk?

550
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 3: Hell?

551
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah?

552
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: Do it?

553
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 2: Or like you'd be a little.

554
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: Reserved about trading Max Meyer for Brian Reynolds. He'd be

555
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: the main part of the deal.

556
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 3: Let's see what type of year he has. I don't know, Uh,

557
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: both of them, like both of them? Yeah, because I mean, like.

558
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 2: Doing his thing Meyer's doing his thing.

559
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look right, but so the question would

560
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 3: be right, like if so, if the Marlins are in it,

561
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: why who's performing well? Who's keeping them in it? Is

562
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 3: center field? Still the detriment is the outfield, like, because

563
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 3: if they're performing well and they're winning a lot of games,

564
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: then I would have to think that maybe that is

565
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 3: looking like a big deal, right, And so why would

566
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 3: you give up your you know, young ace prospect to

567
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 3: upgrade at something you don't necessarily need In the same

568
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: way and more so now, like now what starts happening

569
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 3: is when you look at then other prospects and you

570
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 3: start going, okay, who can we add to the bullpen?

571
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,239
Speaker 3: So is it calling up our prospects or is it

572
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: trading some of those prospects for you know, those those

573
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 3: you know guns in the bullpen that the good teams

574
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 3: stack up on, right, Like, That's what ends up happening

575
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 3: every year, is that the trade deadline, like twenty five

576
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,719
Speaker 3: relievers get traded to four teams and you know that

577
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 3: those teams stack up and that's the end of it.

578
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 3: So I would say, look, I wouldn't be apprehensive to

579
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 3: doing it if it was the thing that was going

580
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 3: to put you over the top that yeah, hell yeah,

581
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 3: like one hundred percent. If you're in the position where

582
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 3: you're competing for a playoff spot and you believe the

583
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: trading for Brian Reynolds or Cedric Mullins or whoever, right,

584
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 3: a big upgrade, a big splashy move at the deadline

585
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 3: to get yourself that star center fielder that's gonna be

586
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 3: the piece, right, do it? Make the move? Because you

587
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,479
Speaker 3: only get so many shots at it, especially when you're

588
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 3: anchored by a young pitching staff. The argument, obviously on

589
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 3: the flip side, would be, there's so many of these

590
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 3: dudes that it's like you could do one thing right.

591
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 3: You could trade them to get the piece to try

592
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 3: to compete and do it right now, or you can

593
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 3: go there's so much of it that we're going to

594
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 3: be anchored by this young staff like the Braves were

595
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 3: for a decade and it's all gonna be fine and Sandy,

596
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 3: Pablo and Trevor forever and every supplementary piece from there,

597
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 3: and like sure you could like one hundred percent, could

598
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 3: you could think that and behave that way as well?

599
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 3: So there's like there's multiple schools of thought. I'm always

600
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 3: of the belief that you chase it when you got

601
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 3: a chance. So if the Marlins are in it and

602
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 3: that splashy move is the one to make, make it,

603
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 3: pull the trigger, why not, you know? And I guess

604
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 3: that's also that's operating from having grown up around you know.

605
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 3: The the one team that was winning very consistently in

606
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 3: this market was Miami Heat, and they were always the

607
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 3: aggressive types when it came to landing players. Now, most

608
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 3: of the time that was in free agency or other things,

609
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 3: but even with some of those role players that they

610
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 3: needed to acquire deadlines, they woud get aggresive about it.

611
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 3: They didn't care about giving up picks, they didn't care

612
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 3: about giving up the future. It was, hey, we can

613
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: win right now, so why not try to win right now?

614
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 3: No different than what they did this year and every

615
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 3: other year otherwise. So I think the Marlins are now

616
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 3: in that mode, right And so if it comes down

617
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 3: to the deadline and they think, hey, there's a move

618
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 3: we can make that would put us over the top

619
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 3: to make a run, I think they would do it.

620
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: No, I hope you're right, and I appreciate you know,

621
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: the great answer you gave, because it's not black or

622
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: white anymore. You know, I think Maximyer really in the

623
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: spring training, you know, performance, and obviously his opening day

624
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: start last night is really it's gonna be tough when

625
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: and if he ever does get dealt for that.

626
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: You know, supplement and operating in the gray is what

627
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 3: allows all of us to do our jobs. Right, That's

628
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 3: what's fun is that there's not necessarily right now, like

629
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 3: any move. Like what's fun about this job is that

630
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 3: if like, if they made that move tomorrow, I could

631
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 3: easily come on here and probably argue either side of it, like,

632
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 3: because that's that's and that also shows you that it's

633
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 3: probably like that's why it had some real smoke, right,

634
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 3: because it is pretty like it's a good move for

635
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 3: both teams theoretically, and so that's why, like, that's why

636
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 3: those things happen. That's why they get to certain points

637
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 3: on these conversations because everybody involved knows it would be

638
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 3: beneficial probably to both of us, but both teams get

639
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 3: scared of the repercussions on both of their players. Like

640
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 3: it's it's easy to get concerned on either side too.

641
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 3: So that's what's so fun about all this stuff.

642
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 4: Like and theoretically, if Meyer was on that rotation. If

643
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 4: if they made that move and Meyer goes to Pittsburgh,

644
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 4: he'd be in the Pittsburgh rotation right now. In my opinion,

645
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 4: at least, they don't have what he would be.

646
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 3: I mean like I don't mean to, I mean like,

647
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 3: isn't isn't like in one of my favorite pitchers last year.

648
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 3: But I'm pretty sure Zach Thompson's like they're one or

649
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 3: two right, he's their best picture Max My Max Meyer.

650
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 3: Max Meyer would instantly be like essentially their ace, like immediately,

651
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 3: which is why it's like so that's why like sometimes

652
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 3: I wanted everybody to kind of like take a deep

653
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 3: breath for a second, because I think we did all

654
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 3: get a little caught up in like move move move,

655
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 3: move move trade trade trade trade, trade, like it's so easy.

656
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 3: Because it's also like there was there was all this

657
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 3: pent up emotion of essentially like when Starling was traded,

658
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 3: it felt like it was now like, oh okay, so

659
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 3: the season's over, like right, like it went from like

660
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 3: a team that was playing okay and was out of

661
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 3: it and we all knew it, but it was like, now,

662
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 3: oh okay, so like they're out of it, like yeah,

663
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 3: no more, do all no more market Like that's it,

664
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 3: They're gone. So season's over, and so there was so

665
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 3: much anticipation for the off season, and then the lockout

666
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 3: happened in the middle of their off season. So we

667
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 3: we over analyzed half of the moves and got so

668
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 3: antsy and came up with all these different scenarios in

669
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 3: our heads as to what they should do or could

670
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 3: do or would do. And half the people went into

671
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 3: the lockout thinking they should trade for one guy and

672
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 3: came out of it totally sold they should trade for

673
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 3: another that they shouldn't trade at all, right, because we

674
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 3: just spent two months talking And so I am like,

675
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 3: I'm not grateful. I'm not gonna sit here and be like,

676
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 3: oh I'm grateful they didn't make the move because blank.

677
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 3: But I am like, I think what it is is

678
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 3: it has allowed us now in the last couple of

679
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 3: weeks to kind of remind ourselves, Oh, yeah, there's a

680
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 3: reason why Max Meyer was such a big deal. He's

681
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 3: no longer just like a oh a thing to get

682
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 3: me the fun shiny object of Brian Reynolds, Like, oh yeah,

683
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 3: that's what Max Meyer actually is, you know. And so

684
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 3: like I think, and that's what Khalil Watson actually is,

685
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 3: and that's what Edward Cabrera actually is. Like all these

686
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 3: guys that had been floated within it, it's real easy

687
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 3: when there's no baseball going on to kind of forget

688
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 3: what their ceilings are. And so it makes it more

689
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 3: fun now too, because there's this tea all year long,

690
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 3: the will they won't they of Brian Reynolds somewhere along

691
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 3: the way, right, it was kind of fun.

692
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 2: I like it. It's gonna be fun one. Obviously.

693
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: One of the reasons that we're in the lockout a

694
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 1: bunch of the CBA, and so we come out of it,

695
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: and there are three main rule changes we sort of

696
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 1: want to get your opinion now. We'll go over each

697
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: of them quite briefly. The first one is at the

698
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: Universal DH we no longer have to see Saniel Contra

699
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: swing a bat, thankfully, and we don't want to have

700
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: to see Twi Glass now just take pitches.

701
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 2: I personally, I think I'm.

702
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: A traditionalist in the most sense too, but I think

703
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: this one it needed to happen. I don't need to

704
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: see Eliezer breaks, you know, Tara Hamstring go in the

705
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: first base. I think this was you know, I think

706
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: this was the right time for it.

707
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 3: R I p the pictures hitting I saw one one

708
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 3: of my favorite conversation conversation. I was only there a

709
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 3: couple of times this spring. I wish I could have

710
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 3: been there more, but you know, heat panthers such make

711
00:35:55,600 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 3: an excuses. It's ridiculous stops. But AnyWho I was. It

712
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 3: was me and Daniel Albarez with I think it was

713
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 3: Daniel Avarice who was there with Trevor Rodgers, and he

714
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, man, at least I got my two hits,

715
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 3: you know. And I was like, yeah, you could have

716
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 3: been Moonlight Graham. You could have come up not gotten

717
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 3: a hit. And then imagine this is what I was

718
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 3: thinking about. Imagine being a National League pitcher who pitched

719
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 3: like one or two seasons in the last couple of

720
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 3: years and didn't get a hit, and so you had

721
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 3: a couple of years of opportunities to get a hit,

722
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 3: never thinking in any of those at bats, oh, this

723
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 3: might be the last time I have a chance to

724
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 3: get my first big league hit. And then they implement

725
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 3: the universal DH and you play another ten years and

726
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 3: forever you have to be in the Major League you

727
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 3: can have a great major league career, but you never

728
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 3: got the hit and you had a chance. You're not

729
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 3: one of the dudes who came up after the DH.

730
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 3: You had your chance before and forever, You're just gonna

731
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 3: have to sit there and go I'm never gonna get

732
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 3: a chance to step back into that batter's box. I've

733
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 3: been thinking about those guys. But other than that, it's

734
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 3: definitely the right move. I look, I'm like, I love

735
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 3: the National League style of play. To me, the benefit

736
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 3: of the extra level of strategy was something that to me,

737
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 3: like I I miss now. We've gotten to this stage

738
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 3: of baseball where pitchers are just so good and and

739
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 3: so dominant in their stuff is so nasty that like

740
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 3: there's no there's no like it can hurt the pitchers

741
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 3: who are hitting, like it's beyond now, just like a

742
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 3: conversation about the aesthetic of the game. This was more

743
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 3: a decision that I think they made because they were like,

744
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 3: we just can't afford to have these commodities who were

745
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 3: worth hundreds of millions of dollars sometimes going out there

746
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 3: and risking injury over something that the benefit is not enough, right,

747
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 3: Like they're not good enough. I don't like it from

748
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 3: a style of play perspective, because to me, baseball is

749
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 3: a game of chess, and like the idea that you

750
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 3: have to both offensively and defensively work around certain spots

751
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 3: of the order is fun for me. And I also, like,

752
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 3: I think it's selfish. As a pitcher, I think I'm

753
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 3: also I think of it everything. I think of this

754
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 3: from a picture perspective, but I'm like, man, the fact

755
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 3: that they don't get that break of just one hitter

756
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 3: that they can kind of just throw a few curveballs too,

757
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 3: and know it's going to be an out, Like I

758
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 3: like I and it like there's something about that that

759
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 3: that's kind of what baseball is. But at the same time,

760
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 3: from an entertainment perspective and from like wanting to grow

761
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 3: the game and make things more entertaining and also more

762
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 3: competitive and save your pit like all of those reasons

763
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 3: give you the reason to implement the DH And so

764
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 3: ultimately I am glad they did it, but I am

765
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,919
Speaker 3: going to miss the seventh inning double switch, Like I'm

766
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 3: just gonna miss it, and you know, it's it's a

767
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 3: part of of now a baseball lexicon that like we're

768
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 3: all gonna have We're all gonna remember it, but we're

769
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 3: like the last We're like the last group of people

770
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 3: who are gonna have like grown up with it. And

771
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 3: now the next generation of kids is gonna have no idea,

772
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 3: Like pitchers used to hit, pictures hit that's crazy? Why

773
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 3: would pitchers hit? That's nuts? You know, they're gonna think

774
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 3: of it as like a completely insane concept. So uh

775
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 3: to me, you know, I don't know, it's I'm glad

776
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 3: it happened, but I'm gonna miss it.

777
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 1: I've been such a fan of the National League style

778
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: of play. You know, it's such a different game. It's

779
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: such a different you know, strategy for a manager, and like,

780
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: like my dad likes to tell me, Shaquille O'Neil can

781
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 1: have someone else shoot his free throw. So why, yeah,

782
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: why shouldn't Pablo Lopis go up.

783
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 2: And have to hit? You know though he's ironically probably

784
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: he's probably good one.

785
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably not the best example there, Kevin, are you

786
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: on the same boat as as Jeremy and I?

787
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know we're gonna miss seeing trying to see

788
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 4: Pablo getting that first homer. Sandy probably you know, making

789
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 4: that happen. If we all remember you know, Adam Simber

790
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 4: with almost his RBI winner, he would have had a

791
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 4: walk off yea against the Mets. Yeah no, But I

792
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 4: think the happiest person right now should be Garrett Cooper,

793
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 4: who's gonna be able to finally play DH and not

794
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 4: have to go at first and risk and injury. Not

795
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 4: even that, he's going to be able to go back

796
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 4: to his twenty twenty self hopefully and have a dominant

797
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 4: season like he did. So I'm all for the DH.

798
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 4: You know, having Eliezer get injured was one of the

799
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 4: worst things that happened because he had such a good

800
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 4: starred in Pittsburgh and seeing them get injured because.

801
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 2: Of base running.

802
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 4: It's just it sucks, you know, I'll this pictures hitting.

803
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 4: You know, we got to see Jose friend and his

804
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 4: hit two bombs. Dontrell Willis was one of the good

805
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 4: hit bat pitchers.

806
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 3: He got a couple of the great ones in the

807
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 3: last like in the last decade, we did get.

808
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 4: A couple of the great in the Marlins itself. To

809
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 4: you remember, Jose came in as a designated hitter if

810
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 4: I'm correct, or a pinch hitter at some point, and

811
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 4: then he got the if it was a double. I

812
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 4: don't know if it was an RBI, but he did

813
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 4: have it, so I'll miss it, but I think we

814
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 4: should be pretty happy with it now having different options.

815
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 3: And that was a good point about from a Marlins perspective,

816
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 3: like this is great for the Marlins. Got they more

817
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 3: than more than I don't want to say more than

818
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 3: other teams, right because everybody gets the field. He's only

819
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 3: have dhs, So it's good for them that there's at

820
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 3: least one spot for those guys to go, right. But

821
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 3: I mean, seriously, like there's not a lot of teams,

822
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 3: based off of where their roster was going into the

823
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 3: off season that could have benefited more from just adding

824
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 3: the DH to give them that spot. So there wasn't

825
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 3: the redundancy of Jesus Agular and Garrett Cooper. Like being

826
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 3: able to put both of those guys in the lineup

827
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 3: every single day almost is something that is great for

828
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 3: the Marlins. And being a DH hopefully should help Coop's durability.

829
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 3: I mean, it's so funny, the whole Cooper durability thing,

830
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 3: because most of his injuries are like really freak injuries.

831
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 3: Like one of them, he was hit on the hand

832
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,959
Speaker 3: and it broke his hand, and it was like, there's

833
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 3: so many of these that have been kind of like

834
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 3: weird injuries, but when they happen consistently enough, then you

835
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 3: just have to start to kind of like view it

836
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 3: that way. And so hopefully he can just stay healthy

837
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 3: and have a really great year from that DH spot.

838
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 3: And obviously that would be hugely beneficial for the Marlins

839
00:41:58,280 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 3: to be able to add a guy like Gerret Cooper

840
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 3: for the full one sixty two.

841
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 4: And I say and I say, good, many options because

842
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 4: let's say you put Ba in left field for a

843
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 4: day in one of the oh yeah, because you know,

844
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 4: and you could put so Layer in there at DH,

845
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 4: and that would be a great option. He was the

846
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 4: DH for the absolutely brace for a good amount of

847
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 4: time as the first hitter, So that's another one there.

848
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 4: You could even put Aguilar in there, who's done well.

849
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 4: So you have a lot of options, especially in such

850
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 4: a such an upgraded bench from last season to this season.

851
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 4: Wendell could fit in that spot if you ever want

852
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 4: to play them there at some point or not in

853
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 4: the infield. So so you have a lot of options

854
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 4: to go. They're not just Cooper.

855
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 3: I mean, think about what you because because you've I mean,

856
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 3: you've mentioned it here. The depth of this team now

857
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 3: and the positional flexibility is better, it's a lot better.

858
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 3: Like it. The fact that Joey Wendall can play all

859
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 3: three infield positions, you know, second, short, third, You got

860
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 3: Miguel Rojas who can play all three of those positions.

861
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 3: You got Chisholm, right, yeah, I mean really all four

862
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 3: you got. You got Brian Anderson, who I believe could

863
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 3: play first base if needed. I don't think that they

864
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 3: would do it, but I believe that he could right

865
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 3: put in the center field, right, I mean, if they

866
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 3: put right do you see what I'm saying? Like I

867
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 3: like and again, if we're doing the Chris Bryant thing,

868
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 3: like I believe he could play like he's athletic enough

869
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 3: to do it. But that wasn't really the point. He's

870
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 3: playing third, and he's playing all three outfield positions. Dal

871
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 3: La Cruz is playing all three outfield positions. With the DH.

872
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,959
Speaker 3: You've now got a first basement in a DH who

873
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 3: are now interchangeable there. But you've got both corner outfielders

874
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 3: who can DH. They can also more so of sil

875
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 3: can play both corners more so than Solaire can play

876
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 3: both corners, but still you've got that versatility, and Hazus

877
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 3: Sanchez is playing all three outfield positions like or at

878
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 3: least is capable of it. We know we can play

879
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 3: right and left, and he's gonna play center. So you've

880
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 3: got all of these guys who can be maneuvered in

881
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 3: all of these different ways throughout your order, and it

882
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 3: can allow you to do a lot more matchup based stuff,

883
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 3: and it allows you to then come off the bench

884
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 3: with these other players earlier in the game as well,

885
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 3: just to be beneficial to your team, not as subs

886
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 3: because you now need a sub because somebody got hurt,

887
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 3: or because you know there's some that you know, whatever.

888
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 3: In the fifth inning, you can make the decision to

889
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 3: bring in Brian Anderson as a pinch hitter for just

890
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 3: about anybody because someone on the field is gonna be

891
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 3: able to shift around. Everybody's gonna be able to shift

892
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 3: around and play other positions, sort of like what we

893
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 3: initially saw years ago with Joe Madden and the Cubs

894
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 3: or obviously the Rays. So just the idea that now

895
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 3: the Marlins are in a position where when they bring

896
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 3: guys off the bench you know, on opening day, there's

897
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 3: alrighty on the mount, right, So if Joey Wendall starts

898
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 3: at third base, the Marlins can come off the bench

899
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 3: with Brian Anderson, John Birdie and Brian day La Cruz.

900
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,919
Speaker 3: That's so much better than it was. Those three guys

901
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 3: all started a lot of games like and and should

902
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 3: have like. But those are three good baseball players who

903
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 3: were just all on the bench and options for you,

904
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 3: and one of them can play both of them theoretically,

905
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 3: the multiple can play center field theoretically if anything, actually

906
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 3: kind of all three weirdly somehow are capable of playing

907
00:44:58,320 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 3: center field.

908
00:44:59,160 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 4: Uh.

909
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 3: And then you've got to couple that are playing corner

910
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 3: outfield positions, a couple that can play in the infield.

911
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 3: That's great, man, That's that's really wonderful to have and

912
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,919
Speaker 3: to have that flexibility is important. And I just think

913
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 3: that like, no, the Marlins didn't go get any specific

914
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 3: splashy bat, but now like there are eleven, right if

915
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 3: you go with all eight starters and then those three guys,

916
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 3: eleven solid major league baseball players in the Marlins lineup, like,

917
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,720
Speaker 3: that's that's great.

918
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,439
Speaker 2: And that's not even counting Peyton Henry, who I chose

919
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 2: as a break.

920
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 3: Hey, shout out Peyton Henry.

921
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 4: Huh you got a good spring.

922
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 3: Ye, he's good. I don't know, he might be good,

923
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 3: who knows. But a solid backup catcher, right, that's all

924
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 3: you need out of him. He just needs to be

925
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 3: a solid backup catcher for your gold glove catcher exactly.

926
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 2: And I should have known that.

927
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: The DH conversation maybe would have, you know, gone onto

928
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: a longer conversation, especially with this team.

929
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 2: Like Kevin mentioned, the.

930
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: Next one, the last one I want to sorry about. No, no,

931
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: it's a great one. And the last the last one

932
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 1: I do want to bring up is the X rating rule.

933
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't originally going to be there implemented for this year,

934
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: but you know, last second changes.

935
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 2: It is.

936
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: Starting the tenth inning, there will be a run on

937
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: a second base.

938
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 2: Personally, I hate it. I really don't like it. I

939
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: loathe it. I don't It's just so weird to me.

940
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: I would have been really okay with it it had

941
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: started maybe the twelfth inning. I think that would have

942
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: made a little more sense. But right away nine innings

943
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: are over, you will have a ghost on a second base.

944
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,720
Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't like it, Jeremy.

945
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 3: The twelfth th inning would be cool with me, right, Like,

946
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 3: play the tenth in the eleventh is extra innings, and

947
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 3: then if you need to kind of speed it up

948
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 3: from there, that's fine, throw a guy on second base,

949
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 3: but play baseball. And don't get me wrong, like, I'm

950
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 3: all for coming up with ways to make the game

951
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 3: more entertaining, and I actually think that weirdly, what would

952
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 3: be more almost more fun, would be if you put

953
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 3: a guy on first base, because then because then it's sacrificedies.

954
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 2: That's it.

955
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 3: Well, it's right because if you sat on freaking if

956
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 3: you if you put him on second, it's a couple

957
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 3: of sacrifice flies. Put him on. If you put him

958
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 3: on first, then there's is somebody bunting to get him

959
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 3: over to get the one out. And then there's also

960
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 3: or are you just going to is this going to

961
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 3: make extra innings a game of athleticism? Which is all right?

962
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 3: We got to extras. Who's the fastest guy on the bench,

963
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 3: go try to steal second? Like how fun is that?

964
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 3: That's the best there's there's I would argue that there

965
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 3: is nothing better in all of baseball entertainment than when

966
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,879
Speaker 3: everybody in the stadium knows a dude's going to try

967
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 3: to steal second and everybody's waiting to see that pitcher

968
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,240
Speaker 3: lift his front leg and watch the like five seconds

969
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 3: that's about to happen. That's one of to me, one

970
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 3: of the most electric times in baseball is when you

971
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 3: know in a big moment that dude is going to

972
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 3: try to steal a base. Remember when was it Gerrod

973
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 3: Dyson who was on Kansas City and bring him in

974
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 3: every game in the eighth inning and the ninth thing.

975
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,919
Speaker 3: Anytime somebody got on first base, he would still second,

976
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 3: he would still third. Right, How fun would it be

977
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 3: if that's what extra innings were, and it ultimately then

978
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 3: kind of influenced your roster as a result. You might

979
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 3: keep a guy who had some speed. Yeah, gosh, like Monteel. Yeah, man,

980
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 3: chat out Monte. But I just think that like, if

981
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 3: you're if you're doing it for entertainment sake, that would

982
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 3: be the more entertaining thing to do. If you're doing

983
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 3: it for we just got to get out of here sake,

984
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 3: then fine, throw a guy on second base. But yeah,

985
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 3: I would prefer if you did it in the twelfth.

986
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: It would be like the intentional Dave Roberts thing, you know, yeah, yeah,

987
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: steal off Mariano and get driven.

988
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 3: That's the most This is what I'm saying. Those are

989
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 3: We're talking about Jerrod Dyson and Dave Roberts as baseball player.

990
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 3: They were not good baseball I mean, Dave Roberts was

991
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,240
Speaker 3: a fine baseball player, but like, but like, those dudes

992
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 3: were a dominant baseball players, and they are memories of

993
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 3: those guys are seared in our heads forever. Yeah, because

994
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 3: those are the most exciting plays in baseball. So to me,

995
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 3: if you were trying to make it more entertaining in

996
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 3: extra innings as a means to stick around, right, as

997
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 3: a means to continue to watch it, because it's not about, hey,

998
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 3: let's get out of here, because that's that's not the point.

999
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 3: The point should be that the best team wins, right,

1000
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 3: And so if you want to make it more entertaining

1001
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 3: to give people a reason to stick around, that's what

1002
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 3: it is. Make it this ying and yang. It's always

1003
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 3: great when you don't know what's gonna happen. So a

1004
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 3: team could choose to lay it down a butt then

1005
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 3: pinch run. A team could pinch run and try to steal.

1006
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 3: There's so many different options. Or a team could just

1007
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 3: ground into a double play and now the next team

1008
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 3: has their advantage to go into the next inning. So anyway,

1009
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 3: that's my ram.

1010
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 2: Decides not to pinch run and the guy just hits

1011
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 2: a home run.

1012
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah it's over right, Like it doesn't matter, right, And.

1013
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna quote this podcast the tweet for it

1014
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: and say, like Jeremy Thatch best rule invention of all time.

1015
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 2: I think that's definitely the way to get So you

1016
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 2: love it.

1017
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 3: I'm glad we're in on it.

1018
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 2: I'm glad we're in on it.

1019
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 1: Based on your facial expressions, Kevin, I assume you you concur.

1020
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,720
Speaker 4: I hate the rule right now, twelfth inning sounds perfect

1021
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 4: to me, and I love Jeremy's rule. Rob Manford needs

1022
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 4: to call.

1023
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 3: You like right now to make I'm just I don't

1024
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 3: understand how nobody went. Hey, wait, we saw, we saw

1025
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 3: what it is on second, But what if we put

1026
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 3: them on first? Yeah, like nobody nobody would have a job,

1027
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 3: job somebody, ah, and we want to fire man. If

1028
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 3: you want fireworks, that's the way to do it.

1029
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 4: And when you look at the rule right now, I

1030
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 4: look at Miami versus Blue Jay's twenty twenty, that game

1031
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 4: wherever Survelli hit the homer right after the that was it.

1032
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 4: Marlon's lost perfect extra innings rul. Miami is really bad

1033
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 4: at extra innings too, when when they when the man

1034
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 4: was on second base, especially so bizarre, which is it's

1035
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 4: like an advantage the home team has the vantage and

1036
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 4: extra innings because you get the second chance for the

1037
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,479
Speaker 4: for the await team have a possible chance.

1038
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 2: I mean to at least scored two to three rounds

1039
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 2: to have a good chance.

1040
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 4: That wasn't gonna happen for the Marlins, and they didn't

1041
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 4: have got off the team.

1042
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 3: Which is why putting a guy on first it's more

1043
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 3: fun for everybody there we go.

1044
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 2: The heartbreaking one that sticks out to me was that

1045
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 2: I think Washington game that Miami did.

1046
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: They they go for the bunch to ask the road

1047
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 1: you remember the uh and just you know, first batter

1048
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: Swarber walks it off. It's like, that's not the way

1049
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: you lose a game like it was so going for

1050
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: one run when you're the road team, when you know

1051
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: Schwarber's leading off the next freakin' inning.

1052
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 3: Because I can't wait for baseball. Yeah, so great, Wow,

1053
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 3: this is great that they read I'm giddy.

1054
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 2: Well, I was soon.

1055
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: I guess the last question you know about baseball anyway

1056
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna ask you, is just any surprise major

1057
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 1: League teams that you see making the biggest jump you

1058
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: know for any last the first teams besides Miami.

1059
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 2: Of course, Yeah, other than the Miami teams that have

1060
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 2: you have your eye on.

1061
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 3: Man, that's it's a good question. If I'm being perfectly honest,

1062
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 3: I'm like proud of myself for even knowing what's going

1063
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 3: on with the Marlins right now. So I am doing

1064
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 3: a little catch up on everybody else. I'm gonna I'm

1065
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 3: not gonna pretend like I'm as informed as I will

1066
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,959
Speaker 3: be in probably forty eight hours from now, Like legit,

1067
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 3: I'm about to do a crash course. But I would say,

1068
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 3: what's most interesting to me, to be honest, and you

1069
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 3: actually just mentioned them. The team that I'm most interested

1070
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 3: to watch this year is the Toronto Blue Jays, Like

1071
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:33,439
Speaker 3: I cannot wait to see the encore to the sort

1072
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 3: of breakout seasons of a number of guys over there,

1073
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 3: and Vlad Junior is as fun of a hitter. I

1074
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 3: mean to me, he's like as as must watch of

1075
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 3: a right handed hitter as we've had, like since Miggy

1076
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 3: was in his prime. Like it's it's and and I

1077
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 3: know Mike Trout is obviously like a must watch hitter,

1078
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 3: but he's a robot who doesn't exist from this planet.

1079
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,879
Speaker 3: So when I'm talking about someone who like who, like, yeah,

1080
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 3: I have to watch my Trout every time because he's

1081
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 3: just gonna do the perfect thing every time. But when

1082
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 3: I'm when I'm talking about watching you know, this entertainment,

1083
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 3: I'm so into Vlad and what he's gonna do this year.

1084
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 3: And I just think the fact that they they clearly

1085
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 3: like it's always cool when there's a team in that

1086
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 3: division that decides, no, no, we're not going to back

1087
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 3: down to what it is that the Yankees and the

1088
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 3: Red Sox do and the Rays do that, but in

1089
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 3: a different way, right like the Rays do it. They're

1090
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 3: never gonna spend and they're just gonna do it in

1091
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,720
Speaker 3: their weird way where they're now like trading Austin Meadows

1092
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 3: as a salary dump, like they're gonna just they're gonna

1093
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 3: figure out their thing and it's gonna be its own dynamic, right,

1094
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 3: But when a team says, all right, we've got our core,

1095
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 3: we're now we're gonna make trades, we're gonna spend. They

1096
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 3: got George Springer last year, they're bringing in guys this year,

1097
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 3: like Matt Chapman this year. They're they're doing a lot

1098
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 3: to try to improve their team. And and that's always

1099
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 3: fun for me when someone kind of tries to to

1100
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 3: chat when either sently, the Orioles or the Blue Jays

1101
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 3: try to make a run at it, that's fun for me.

1102
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 3: And and I know maybe that's a little East Coast

1103
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 3: bias here, but I'm excited to see what happens over

1104
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 3: there in that division.

1105
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 2: Kevin, what's your team? Toronto is a good one.

1106
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 4: I was thinking Chicago at first. If they had gone

1107
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,879
Speaker 4: Carlos Korea, that would have been a very scary team.

1108
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 4: But man, I like the Minnesota Twins. They were one

1109
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 4: of the worst teams last season. You got Correa, you

1110
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 4: got Sunny Gray, you got some pitching, you got Chris Harchard.

1111
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 2: That's nothing crazy.

1112
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 4: But and you've resigned Byron bust into what was it,

1113
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,320
Speaker 4: a five or six year deal? If he stays a

1114
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,919
Speaker 4: Minnesota is going to be a scary team.

1115
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 3: I agree, I agree completely that they have the opportunity

1116
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 3: to be And I also am sitting here and I'm like, man,

1117
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 3: the way that all that was structured with Korea sure

1118
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 3: put sure puts them in a good position to be

1119
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 3: the twenty twelve Marlins. Oh if they don't get off

1120
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 3: to a good start them, Hey Miami, you interested in

1121
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 3: Byron Buxton? Hey, everybody else, are you interested in one

1122
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 3: year of Carlos Korea? Because he'll opt out after this

1123
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 3: year and go back on the market and rebuild from there.

1124
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 2: It's like what?

1125
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 3: And I guess that's actually the thing about Minnesota that

1126
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 3: is so intriguing to me is that they have an

1127
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 3: opportunity to be really, really really good and also have

1128
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 3: the easy outs. That contract that they signed with Korea

1129
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 3: is like the most movable thing in the world, and

1130
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 3: Byron Buxton it wasn't like earth shattering money. No, so again,

1131
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 3: a sort of movable contract of a guy like that,

1132
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 3: at least at this point if they wanted to move on,

1133
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 3: like they made their commitment so that they could keep him.

1134
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 3: But remember, I mean before that, everybody was just assuming

1135
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 3: that they were going to try to move on. He

1136
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 3: was one of the guys that had sort of been

1137
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 3: floated as a center field option possibly here. So like,

1138
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 3: i I'm just like, I'm fascinated by that too, I know,

1139
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 3: just like off the cuff. But it's just an interesting

1140
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 3: thing to keep an eye on Minnesota.

1141
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 4: You know, Buxton, if he wasn't gonna get a lot

1142
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,280
Speaker 4: of money, he was injured throughout most of his seasons

1143
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 4: in the MLB, and his one productive season where he

1144
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 4: played like one hundred and twenty something.

1145
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 3: Games, he was amazing.

1146
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 2: He was okay, he was okay. And that's the thing

1147
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 2: with Buckston. It's uncertain.

1148
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,760
Speaker 4: But you know, you made that trade with the Yankees.

1149
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 4: It was a pretty okay trade. I mean, you got

1150
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 4: Gary Sanchez a catcher.

1151
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1152
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 2: I like Mitchcarver a little more.

1153
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 3: Not about that, I think, Yeah, man, that was a

1154
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 3: great trade to.

1155
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 2: Trade.

1156
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 3: They're good.

1157
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're good.

1158
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 3: They're good.

1159
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,800
Speaker 4: One other team I'm gonna give a shout out to

1160
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 4: or the Los Angeles Angels. That team got really pretty bad.

1161
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 4: That thing got pretty good. You added cinder Guard, you

1162
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 4: added some good pitching depth in there, you resigned Seally Glacios.

1163
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:52,240
Speaker 4: That team looks pretty good and I'll say they addressed.

1164
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 2: What they needed to. Major League Baseball needs that team

1165
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 2: to do well.

1166
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: And just so so clear Byron Buckston got seven years,

1167
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars and what does you know, you're it.

1168
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 3: It's nothing, that's nothing change. Hey, I mean the AAV

1169
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 3: is not bad. Like That's all I'm saying, is like,

1170
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 3: if there's like the type of franchise that existed that

1171
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 3: would be interested in having a player like that for

1172
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 3: that type of length. It's not an unbelievable contract that

1173
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 3: puts anybody out of it, is the point.

1174
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: And what interesting is that that AL Central could be

1175
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: like a you know, potentially good division, and right Minnesota

1176
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: make a call like that to other teams that are.

1177
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying. Man, if I'm just, I'm just,

1178
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 3: I'm just. I'm just. I'm just saying things. Man, I'm

1179
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 3: not I have no We're over an hour into this.

1180
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 3: I'm just I have no services telling me anything about anything.

1181
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 3: I'm just having fun. We're just having a good time.

1182
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 2: Man. Just really, my team would definitely be the Detroit Tigers.

1183
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna take that great that Miami has lacked,

1184
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: that hasn't taken yet. So I definitely think the Detroit

1185
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: Tigers Riley Green, when he's healthy, he's gonna be a stud.

1186
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 2: Corkle Sin will be the starting for his basement.

1187
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: He's gonna hit fifty less offensive prospect I've seen since

1188
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: I've been following base fall besides Blad Junior, of course.

1189
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 2: So right, that's.

1190
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 4: Seattle is another one. They made some battle mariners get.

1191
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,919
Speaker 1: As well, switching gears really quick before we end things.

1192
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: I know Kevin's very happy that we're speaking about the

1193
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: Miami heat. I attend some games. I never thought this

1194
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 1: would happened in the.

1195
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 2: But we're gonna do it anyway and go heat. There

1196
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 2: you go.

1197
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 1: What Kevin was telling me was that there's no way

1198
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: that Miami faces Brooklyn in the first round.

1199
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 2: I wasn't too aware of.

1200
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 3: These play right, So it's possible that they It's possible,

1201
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 3: it's possible. The what the reality is right now is

1202
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 3: that currently Brooklyn is the eight and Cleveland is the seven,

1203
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 3: with Atlanta and Charlotte as the nine and ten. If

1204
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 3: things stay as as such, right if if that was

1205
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 3: the way things worked out and Brooklyn was the eight,

1206
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 3: the way that the play in tournament works is that

1207
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 3: the seven and the eight play against each other, and

1208
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 3: the nine in the play against each other. The winner

1209
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 3: of the seven and eight game is the seven seed

1210
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 3: for the playoffs. So if Brooklyn goes to Cleveland and

1211
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 3: beats them, which we all would expect they would, they

1212
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 3: would face the two seed. The Heat would then face

1213
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 3: the winner of a game between Cleveland, the loser of

1214
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 3: that first game, and the winner of Atlanta and Charlotte.

1215
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 3: So the winner of the nine to ten game plays

1216
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 3: the loser of the seven and eight game to be

1217
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 3: the eight seed.

1218
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 2: Wow.

1219
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's a little complicated. It's easier when you're

1220
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 3: looking at the standings in the bracket than what I'm

1221
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 3: doing here. I'm trying to lay it out for everyone.

1222
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 3: But essentially that's where the Heat are at. So I

1223
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 3: think we're all rooting for Brooklyn to win that playing game.

1224
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 3: I don't think. I think it's not for the faint

1225
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 3: of heart to go up against the Brooklyn Nets in

1226
00:59:58,160 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 3: the first round.

1227
00:59:58,800 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 2: Do I think that the Heat.

1228
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 3: Do I think that the Heat would beat them?

1229
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: Yes?

1230
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 3: I do. Do I want to have anxiety every day

1231
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 3: of that entire series? No, I don't. I'd rather that

1232
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 3: I would love to look it'd be fun, right, Like

1233
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 3: that's the part of it where it's like, if I

1234
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 3: know what the end of it, they're gonna win, then

1235
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 3: I'm like stoked to have the tension of the rest

1236
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 3: of it. But if I don't know that they're gonna win,

1237
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 3: and you know, and I believe that they would, like,

1238
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 3: the reality is is I believe that the Miami Heat.

1239
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 3: And I'm not just saying that, Like, I really do

1240
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 3: believe that the Miami Heat would beat Brooklyn in the

1241
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 3: seven game series. I just don't think Brooklyn plays enough defense, Like,

1242
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 3: I just don't think that they do. And Miami could

1243
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 3: do enough to slow down at least I can't say

1244
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 3: slow down, uh Kevin Durant or Kyrie Irving really mostly.

1245
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, they were losing those games on purpose.

1246
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 3: I don't think that that was the case. But I

1247
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 3: do think that, like they obviously had to make some changes.

1248
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 3: They've made those changes. Yeah, and it's I mean, I'll

1249
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 3: tell you there's a possibility here that if the Heat

1250
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 3: win their last two games, they are riding their longest

1251
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 3: winning streak the season into the playoffs, which is crazy

1252
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 3: to think about for a team that's been in first

1253
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 3: place for most of.

1254
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 2: The year, right, and they're you know, pretty much winnable ball.

1255
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 3: Games that they have, Oh yeah, yeah, and they just

1256
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 3: have to win one to clinch the one seed. So

1257
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 3: if they right, so if they win, that's just where

1258
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 3: it's at after after last night, so after tonight, I believe,

1259
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 3: actually I forget what the scenarios are, but there's a

1260
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 3: scenario where the Heat I believe their magic number is one. Like,

1261
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 3: so there's a possibility that they go into Friday and

1262
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 3: they've already clinched, which would obviously be great, but like,

1263
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 3: it'd be cool if if Friday night, even if Friday matters,

1264
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 3: they play against the Hawks, they win at home, that

1265
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 3: clinches them the one seed and then they can rest

1266
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 3: everybody in Orlando on Sunday.

1267
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 2: I think numbers just mean so much more to me

1268
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 2: in baseball settings.

1269
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for sure, for sure, because it's every day, right,

1270
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 3: it's every day. So so when I I say magic

1271
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 3: number is one, it's like, all right tonight, you know

1272
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 3: where with I'm saying the magic numbers one for Miami,

1273
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 3: they don't play for two days.

1274
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 2: I remember, Yeah, Oh, it was incredible, incredible, And one

1275
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 2: thing that I'm obviously not an Avid Avid avid basketball guy. Obviously,

1276
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 2: obviously it's you know, money incentivized. Just why there we go,

1277
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 2: isn't it?

1278
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: How many is too many playoff teams? I thought that sixteen, yeah,

1279
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 1: thirty was already too much. Obviously it's money money, but

1280
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: the yeah I play in I thought that was just.

1281
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 3: A combination of things. So there's there's two sides of

1282
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 3: the argument. One side is obviously like money, money, money, money, money,

1283
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 3: and they make money off playoff games and those games

1284
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 3: are going to be very highly viewed. On the flip side,

1285
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 3: I could also say that there's a lot more teams

1286
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 3: that have to play with integrity through the rest of

1287
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 3: the season past the trade deadline, because, for example, right Washington,

1288
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 3: who you see there is the eleven. Only in the

1289
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 3: last couple of weeks did they really drop off from

1290
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 3: having a chance to be in the tournament. And so

1291
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 3: once that happened, all right, Bradley Bial, you're out for

1292
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 3: the year. Right, But they didn't trade Bradley Bial at

1293
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 3: the trade deadline in part because I believe at the

1294
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 3: time they were the nine or the ten, so it

1295
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 3: would have been authentically trading your superstar out of a

1296
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 3: playoff spot, right, which is non competitive. In the Western Conference,

1297
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 3: you have teams like the Spurs. Spurs are like eight

1298
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 3: games under five hundred. They're not a playoff team, like

1299
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 3: they're not worthy of being a playoff team, but hey,

1300
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 3: they've had to play their hardest for the entire season.

1301
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 3: And so there's an argument to be made that it

1302
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 3: keeps the integrity of the league intact more with less

1303
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 3: teams tanking the rest of the way through the season,

1304
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 3: and with more spots, there might be more teams that

1305
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 3: go into a season and say, hey, you know what,

1306
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 3: we could be a playoff team, you know, And so

1307
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 3: look you look at what the expanded playoffs have been

1308
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 3: like in Major League Baseball. I love it, Like, I

1309
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 3: think it's great because more teams that can get in

1310
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 3: the better. The reality is here, seven, eight, nine, ten.

1311
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 3: There's also an argument to be made in some ways

1312
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 3: you're you're by adding a ten like it's bad, right,

1313
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 3: Like some of these ten seeds are horrible and they

1314
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 3: don't really deserve a chance. But at the same time,

1315
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 3: seven and eight were already like ninety nine percent of

1316
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 3: the time the one in the two seeds are winning.

1317
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 3: So the idea that there's a chance that they're knocked

1318
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:30,439
Speaker 3: out immediately. Like you're not rewarding being the eighth best

1319
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 3: team in the conference. You're just creating something that's really

1320
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 3: entertaining for the fans and skimming a little bit off

1321
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 3: the top and bringing something up from the bottom. I

1322
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 3: don't mind it. So yeah, I mean it's made the

1323
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 3: season more entertaining for all those teams right there in

1324
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 3: the middle. That's that's for sure, right, you know. And

1325
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 3: even for example, the Heat we're playing like this week,

1326
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 3: the Heat we're playing for the one seed. They played

1327
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 3: against Charlotte. In other scenarios, Charlotte might not be in.

1328
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess it's pretty close in this play

1329
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:59,479
Speaker 3: in scenario. But you're getting an authentic performance from these teams.

1330
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the plane is what a one game?

1331
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 3: Just one game? Yeah, it's so like you're looking at

1332
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 3: it now, seven and eight will play each other, Nine

1333
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 3: and ten will play each other, right, winner of well,

1334
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 3: and then one more game because the loser and the

1335
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 3: winner of those and that's it. So it's three total games.

1336
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 2: Another seven games, No, that'd be crazy.

1337
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, these aren't authentic playoff teams. Like if you don't get,

1338
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 3: if you don't get it's just like I think, I mean,

1339
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 3: I guess it's a little different. But like to me,

1340
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 3: if you don't get to the sixty four in March Madness,

1341
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 3: I don't care that you were in that playing game,

1342
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 3: you're not a tournament team. This is kind of the

1343
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 3: same way if you're even if you're the s it's hard,

1344
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 3: I guess if you're the seven seed, But like if

1345
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 3: you're the seven or the eight seed and you lose

1346
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 3: that first game to these teams, like you want, a

1347
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 3: playoff team wouldn't view that as a playoff season. It

1348
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 3: was one game. So that's at least how I look

1349
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 3: at it at this and.

1350
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 4: I think the best example is the Western Conference. All

1351
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 4: those playing teams at the moment, they're a good amount

1352
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 4: of games under five.

1353
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 3: Oh they're bad, Yeah they're bad. Seven games under Yeah,

1354
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 3: they're bad. Like those teams are bad at least East.

1355
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 2: Yesterday, Yeah at the Lakers. Weren't it just yesterday? The

1356
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 2: Lakers weren't it? And there were like twelve games under five? Yeah,

1357
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 2: there have horrific bad Yeah.

1358
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's it's really not good like out there,

1359
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 3: it's it's rough, but at the same time, right like

1360
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 3: man if but also like think about like, like Lebron

1361
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 3: James probably ended up playing maybe twenty more games this

1362
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 3: season then he might have. Otherwise he might have been

1363
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 3: hurt for the might have had a bad ankle or something.

1364
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 3: And so all these fans all across the country got

1365
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 3: to see Lebron James playing. Person got to see him

1366
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 3: play against their team. Like I know that that, but

1367
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 3: like that's part of this, right, is making sure that

1368
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 3: the stars are actually playing through the whole season. And

1369
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 3: because it's become so incentivized to tank, it's it's a

1370
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 3: way to keep teams playing sort of authentically.

1371
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes total sense that here we are a

1372
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 1: day before the Major League Baseball season, we're talking about something.

1373
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 2: They talk about tanking nine seeds in the NBA.

1374
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 1: I love it that on on fish starts on field,

1375
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 1: we'd be discussing Lebron's you know, trip around America again

1376
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 1: and what is what is this here?

1377
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 2: Twenty you're eighteen.

1378
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 3: For Lebron your five hundred feels like he's been here.

1379
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 3: I mean, he has been there my whole life. Two three,

1380
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 3: two thousand.

1381
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 1: And three was his first year, nineteen or nineteen years holy,

1382
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 1: and he's still like good.

1383
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 3: He's amazing, He's gonna win. He could he could win

1384
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 3: the scoring type win. Any yeah, oh, this is a

1385
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 3: fun wait last thing I promised, and because I know,

1386
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 3: but and and and then I really also really wanted,

1387
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 3: you know whatever. But the the way that it's set up.

1388
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 3: I was listening to a podcast Basketball Illuminati, and they

1389
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 3: basically throw out all these like fun little conspiracy theories

1390
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 3: about things with basketball, And what they talked about is

1391
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 3: that the way that the schedule works out for Sunday

1392
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 3: night is there are three guys in competition for the

1393
01:07:56,320 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 3: scoring title, Jannie, Joel Embiid, and Lebron. Joel Embiid is

1394
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 3: thirty point three points per game. Lebron is thirty point two.

1395
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 3: So it's like that close, right. Joel Embiid plays at

1396
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 3: seven o'clock Eastern time Lebron. Lebron doesn't play until nine

1397
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 3: to thirty Eastern time, And so if he plays one

1398
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 3: of the next two games in the next couple of days,

1399
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 3: he can go into that night, or if you play, rather,

1400
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 3: if he plays both games in the next two days,

1401
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 3: he needs two of the next three games to be

1402
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,680
Speaker 3: able to qualify for the scoring title. He needs to

1403
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 3: play two more games and there's three to play for him.

1404
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 3: So if he plays in the next two games, goes

1405
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 3: into Sunday Night, Joel Embiid has a bad game and

1406
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 3: goes below him in points per game, He'll just sit

1407
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 3: out Sunday Night's game and win the scoring title, sort

1408
01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 3: of like the the Jose Reyes bunt to win the

1409
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,200
Speaker 3: to win the National League batting title.

1410
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 1: That the d Gordon one where he d was, Yeah,

1411
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 1: he homered in the freaking game. Yeah, I already went

1412
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:09,640
Speaker 1: through for four and he ended up winning. I think

1413
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 1: you'd beat Bryce Harper in the Bryce Harper's Yes see.

1414
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:13,600
Speaker 3: His was the opposite of the Jose Rais thing. The

1415
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:15,880
Speaker 3: Jose Reys thing was that he laid down a bunt

1416
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:17,600
Speaker 3: for a base hit to take the lead, and then

1417
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 3: they took him out of the game, and I was like,

1418
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 3: come on, he can't play the I got it. But

1419
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 3: that's what the Lebron thing would be, because he would

1420
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 3: he would decide now I'm good, or he would at

1421
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,599
Speaker 3: least know, all right, if I'm gonna go out there,

1422
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 3: I got to score this many points to be able

1423
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 3: to win the scoring title, which would be really cool

1424
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:36,680
Speaker 3: entertainment on TV. Imagine it's like the fourth quarter and

1425
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 3: he needs There's five minutes left and he needs. It

1426
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:41,840
Speaker 3: doesn't matter the score of the game. Lebron James needs

1427
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 3: ten more points to be the scoring champion of the

1428
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:45,479
Speaker 3: league through the year. Would be really cool.

1429
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 4: AnyWho quick question, Jeremy, who is your Miami Heat MVP

1430
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:52,759
Speaker 4: this season? And there's a lot of options.

1431
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 3: Oh man, so it has to be. This is tough.

1432
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 3: I would say, Actually, I'll give you a fun answer, PJ.

1433
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 2: Tucker.

1434
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 3: The reason and the reason I say it is, Wow,

1435
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 3: He's just played a ton of games and he's been

1436
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 3: there and played his role, and I'm assessing value as

1437
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:22,600
Speaker 3: as contributing consistently on every single night. And obviously, like

1438
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 3: the MVP when we do it in the in the

1439
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 3: more you know, rhetorical ways, it would probably be Jimmy

1440
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 3: just because obviously what his impact is on every part

1441
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 3: of the game. There's an argument to be made for

1442
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:38,600
Speaker 3: Tyler and his contributions off the bench, and you know, realistically,

1443
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 3: he's playing starters minutes and he's scoring nearly as much

1444
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 3: as Jimmy is. But Jimmy Butler would be Jimmy Butler

1445
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 3: would be the MVP in the traditional sense of the term.

1446
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 3: But I think that that PJ is the glue guy.

1447
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 3: I just wanted to be able to give him love

1448
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 3: because I don't know how his body look. He got

1449
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 3: hurt last night. I don't know how he's going to

1450
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 3: be in this postseason. But what he did for Miami

1451
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:02,759
Speaker 3: during this regular season cannot be It cannot be stated

1452
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,640
Speaker 3: enough how valuable he was to the team and how

1453
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 3: important he was so and yeah, exactly see that's that's

1454
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 3: my sentiment right here.

1455
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 1: Uh.

1456
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 3: A tweet that has been put on the screen says,

1457
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 3: I would imagine pat Riley would build a statue for PJ.

1458
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 3: Tucker outside the arena tomorrow if he could. That was

1459
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 3: back in February. He's done even more stuff cool like

1460
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 3: that since SoJ.

1461
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,599
Speaker 4: PJ Tucker in the playoffs. He's gonna be a big

1462
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:29,959
Speaker 4: time piece because he was a big piece from Milwaukee

1463
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 4: last season and they won it all.

1464
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:33,759
Speaker 3: You just gotta hope he can hit those corner threes.

1465
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 2: I have a pretty fun answer.

1466
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 4: The struce is loose Max, my guy, my guy, Boston.

1467
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:42,560
Speaker 4: We wouldn't have won that game if it wasn't for

1468
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 4: strus And and his efforts.

1469
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 2: I like being given out that game he's no, No, he's.

1470
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 4: Played better than Duncan in my opinion this season, he's

1471
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 4: definitely earned starter minutes. He's taking the starting role and

1472
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,599
Speaker 4: and I guess that's a good waypoint too. What are

1473
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 4: your thoughts on Robinson? You know, this gave this man

1474
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 4: five years ninety mil and he's earning. He's earning. You know,

1475
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 4: he's acceptable numbers in other teams. He would be a

1476
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 4: good player. You know, he's putting up I think eleven, right, yeah,

1477
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 4: super nice.

1478
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 3: He First of all, First of all, I do think

1479
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 3: that the move to Max Struce was needed. It was

1480
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 3: the move that that ultimately here in the way that

1481
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 3: they've re tinkered with their rotation has made a big difference,

1482
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 3: and I think in the playoffs it's going to remain

1483
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:33,880
Speaker 3: the same. That said, like Duncan actually hasn't had like

1484
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 3: a bad season. He hasn't been quite the level of

1485
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:41,920
Speaker 3: elite that you would like him to be. He has

1486
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 3: also had a number of like bad games, and so

1487
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:49,519
Speaker 3: those memories stand out more than the fact that he

1488
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 3: hit seven of eight threes last night.

1489
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 2: Just last night, I was about to say that, like

1490
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, like.

1491
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 3: In a game that the heat kind of did have

1492
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 3: to have that. They didn't have their whole team that, like,

1493
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 3: you know, so to be in the position that Duncan

1494
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 3: is in, it's almost this kind of this is all

1495
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 3: working out, Like if you want to do the narrative thing,

1496
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 3: this is all working out perfectly right because Max Struce

1497
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 3: is an ultra confident guy. But the idea that you're

1498
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 3: throwing him in here late in the season to be

1499
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:18,920
Speaker 3: a part of the starting lineup, he's still got to

1500
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 3: play with that like level of like, all right, I'm here,

1501
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 3: I gotta bring it. Like he's not comfortable in the

1502
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 3: starting position, yet he knows he's got to play his

1503
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:30,840
Speaker 3: best basketball to maintain it. Duncan gets to now play

1504
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 3: with that like chip on his shoulder again of like

1505
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 3: nobody thinks I can do it. And that's half the

1506
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 3: thing that kind of got him to be the five year,

1507
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 3: ninety million dollar guy. And the way that it's tinkered

1508
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:43,599
Speaker 3: with the rotation the guys who they're playing alongside make

1509
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 3: more sense and that Duncan is able to just sort

1510
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 3: of do his thing as a shooter and they don't

1511
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:51,679
Speaker 3: need his defense and extra you know, Max Strews's ability

1512
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 3: to take the ball off the dribble and make extra

1513
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 3: passes and things like that work with the units that

1514
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 3: they have him in. So to me, it just made

1515
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 3: to make the switch. I don't think that it's a

1516
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:05,640
Speaker 3: referendum on Duncan Robinson the basketball player. I think that

1517
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 3: that he's still very good. I do think that five years,

1518
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 3: ninety million dollars for a guy that's coming off your

1519
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 3: bench and might not play that many minutes is obviously

1520
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:16,439
Speaker 3: something that would make you know, fans or whatever feel

1521
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 3: a certain way. The way I always look at it is, look, man,

1522
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:21,519
Speaker 3: everybody's playing to about the salary cap and in the NBA,

1523
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 3: everybody's doing the same thing. You got your roster for

1524
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 3: the year, worry about next year next year, Like this

1525
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 3: is what the roster is, Max Streuce could be. Pretend

1526
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 3: in your head, Max Streuce is the guy making ninety

1527
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 3: million over five years, You'll feel a lot better, right,

1528
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,560
Speaker 3: Like It's just it's one of those things where to me,

1529
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 3: I'm just analyzing this team based off of who's on

1530
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:42,160
Speaker 3: the roster, not based off their salaries, you know, And

1531
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 3: so ultimately like he's gonna make the contribution that they need,

1532
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 3: and they're gonna need probably every series. They're gonna need

1533
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:50,639
Speaker 3: a night like what they had last night from Duncan

1534
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,800
Speaker 3: Robinson coming off the bench shooting the lights out for

1535
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 3: at least a span of about twelve minutes. So to me,

1536
01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:00,679
Speaker 3: you know, that's I'm excited to see what this team

1537
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 3: does in the postseason. I think they're they're nine or

1538
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 3: rotation is is is about solidified, and it's gonna be

1539
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:08,720
Speaker 3: really fun.

1540
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:10,800
Speaker 4: Ladipo isn't there because he had a pretty good game

1541
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:13,679
Speaker 4: against Toronto. It was like twenty one or twenty seven.

1542
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:15,679
Speaker 4: But that's a threat off the bench.

1543
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 2: Though.

1544
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 4: Let's say someone gets injured, you put him in there

1545
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 4: and he could give you twenty a night.

1546
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 3: We're talking about positional depth. Baby, that's what they got.

1547
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:23,720
Speaker 3: That's what the Marlins got.

1548
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:27,040
Speaker 1: Feeling good even even I'm excited to watch some Miami

1549
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: Heat playoff basketball, but I will be giving all my

1550
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 1: focus to the Miami Marlins. Who don't be confused, this

1551
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:35,639
Speaker 1: is in my podcast. We got a little segued because hey,

1552
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 1: my Heat are playing phenomenal basketball. Even tho I've been

1553
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 1: paying attention. I do attend some of the games, but

1554
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:43,519
Speaker 1: I think I was gonna wrap it up Kevin any

1555
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 1: last tidbits or notes.

1556
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 2: This was awesome.

1557
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 4: This is probably one of my favorite episodes we filmed.

1558
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,320
Speaker 4: I don't care if we went over an hour and twenty,

1559
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 4: which is currently where we're about to hit.
