20
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:15,840

Speaker 3: So I'm excited to talk about it.

Speaker 1: it a five star review and just share it to

30
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 1: everyone you can. You know, we we dive in from

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: the DSL all the way up to Triple A and

32
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: as well the major league team. But you know we

33
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: specify today on only prospects here. So let's start with

34
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: low A Jupiter Hammerheads. They went off, They got off

35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: till five to zero lead and ended up blowing at

36
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: six to five. But I think the main story of

37
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: the night will be mister Thomas White, who himself a

38
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: very nice start for the most part, had a little

39
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: bit of control issues. Goes three and two thirds, three hits,

40
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: zero runs, four walks, six strikeouts, seventy one pitches thrown.

41
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: Really relied on that fastball for the most part, then

42
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: with a little bit of that slider change of combo.

43
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: A lot to like there, Alex from Thomas. But you know,

44
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: I think towards the back end of his start is

45
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: where we really started seeing the control and command issues.

46
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really don't think he had his best pitch here,

47
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: and the fact that he was still able to go

48
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: out and do what he did was fantastic. So I

49
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 2: really don't think he had his best control and command

50
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: of his I mean, curveball, slider, whatever you want to

51
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: call it. He calls it kind of a mix, like

52
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: a slurry curveball. So yeah, I don't think he had

53
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: the best command of that pitch. If you look at

54
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: the map, the pitch map, it will show you that

55
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: that he really didn't have the command of what I

56
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: think is his best pitch. He will tell you that

57
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: his best pitch is his fastball, which, like you said

58
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: today just.

59
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: Now, Kevin, I mean it was okay. Command of that

60
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 3: was okay.

61
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: I think his best secondary at least and probably I

62
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 2: think his best pitches.

63
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 3: Is that that slider curveball.

64
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: If he has that pitch man from that that high,

65
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: that high left hand arm slot, that's a really really

66
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: hard pitch for guys to pick up on. So I

67
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: think that's going to be his best pitch if it

68
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: is not already, And he really didn't have the full

69
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: command of that pitch today.

70
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: But other than that, he didn't rely on the fastball.

71
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: Like you said, probably what led to the four walks

72
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: is just the you know, just the need to rely

73
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: on a singular pitch. Did try to mix it everything else,

74
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: a little bit of the change up he saw, but

75
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: really that that main pitch for him is that uh,

76
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: that breaker that's going to really cool guys and get

77
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: them off balanced. So I don't think he had the

78
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: best command to control of that pitch today.

79
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: Probably won't led.

80
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: To the four walks, but still even though he didn't

81
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: have his best stuff, got six strikeouts.

82
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's it was.

83
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: It was a decent night for him. First first outing

84
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: of the season. I think it was pretty good. But

85
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: I think this is a guy that it's going to

86
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: get even better as a season goes along when he

87
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: gets that pitch fully rained in that that's the slider,

88
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: curveball fully rained in, it's going to be even better.

89
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 3: So really encouraging first start.

90
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: Even though he didn't have his best I don't think,

91
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: still got six strikeouts, So yeah, super cool. I think

92
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: this guy's gonna the top prospect in the organization in

93
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: our next rankings that we do. We've all agreed on

94
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: that already. I think, yep, behind the scenes, so this

95
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: guy's really good. No knock on Noble, he's gonna go tomorrow.

96
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: But but yeah, super super cool good night for Thomas.

97
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: Even though he didn't have his best, still very good.

98
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: So nothing to worry about with this guy exactly.

99
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: And I think that's what really stands up the most.

100
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: Even if it wasn't the sharpest night, it was still

101
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: really really good stuff. I mean, the guy topped out

102
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: at ninety seven point six on that fastball, and you know,

103
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: a little surprises he didn't go much much more to

104
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: his breaking stuff. Maybe it was just more to get

105
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: a feel of, you know, game one opening day. But again,

106
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if he could have had a chance to

107
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: really cement himself and have a very very good start,

108
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we're gonna talk about a pitcher

109
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: in the next level who probably had a better strength

110
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: than him in Carson mill Brandt. But with White, you know,

111
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: it was really just to Walks and he only gave

112
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: up what three heads on to night, Like it was

113
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: a really good start. But let's look at this on

114
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: the offensive side of things all and let's talk about

115
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: Jordan McCann's it's the first home run for the Jupiter

116
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: Hammerheads of the season. It was on a on the

117
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: It was on the fifth PIF of the battait to

118
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: count Quinn Matthews of the of the Palm Beach Cardinals

119
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: goes with the changeup and mister Jordan mckans hits at

120
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: one hundred miles off the bat he goes three hundred

121
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: and eighty feet deep, and I mean, couldn't invest much

122
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: more from him on the day. I think he also

123
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: he had a very good day for himself too. You know,

124
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: how to get a base hit, how to walk, got

125
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: on base due to a I believe in error. So

126
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: Jordan McCann's already off to a good start, Alex.

127
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

128
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: Probably one of the most productive nights across from the

129
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: Marylands minor league levels tonight. For mister mccant's four bats,

130
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: he gets two hits, scores three runs, five total bases hits,

131
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: the home run, gets a walk, like you said, Kevin,

132
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: so and this guy was on base regularly throughout the

133
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: night in a hard to hit an environment, as you know,

134
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: and then of course gets a home run, which is

135
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: which is fantastic for this guy, you know, not really

136
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: known as a home run hitter. Uh, you know, just

137
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: just two home runs before tonight already is halfway to

138
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: his twenty twenty three total and gets.

139
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 3: Went out in hard to hit in Jupiter Roger Deine

140
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 3: Chevrolet Stadium. So super cool for Jordan.

141
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: We talked to him a lot actually during spring training,

142
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: and really what he said last year was the problem

143
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 2: is that he was just kept trying to get not

144
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: trying to but what he did was got away from him,

145
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: like what got him here, right, got away from the

146
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: player that he was as a high scorer, maybe trying

147
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: to do a little bit too much, especially offensively. Was

148
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: learning a new position as well, or pretty much new

149
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: position at third base, especially regularly, so that probably added

150
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: into it as well. So yeah, just the guy that

151
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: that needed to get back to his roots did it

152
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: during spring training. You see it payoff immediately, and that's

153
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: awesome for Jordan McCants. So yeah, I still I.

154
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: Still have a lot of hope for for Jordan.

155
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: Super cool guy, lots of tools, lots of talent, you know,

156
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: just to get back to that swing he had during

157
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: high school is so encouraging rather than trying to be

158
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: this uppercut power guy, which is really not in his makeup.

159
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, really really cool to see Jordan succeed immediately.

160
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: Still just twenty one and still just tons of time,

161
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: so awesome for Jordan. We're glad to see him get

162
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: off to a really, really good start tonight. Like I said,

163
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: probably one of the most productive nights across the minor

164
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: leagues for Jordan and super cool for him. I'm happy

165
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: for him, and we'll see what he does the rest

166
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: of the way, but this is this is a great

167
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: start for McCants.

168
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 3: I think this is a guy. If he continues to succeed,

169
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: I think you'll see him pushed up pretty quickly to beloit.

170
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: I don't think this guy will will hang around long

171
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: if he continues to succeed, but that's going to be

172
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: up to more than one game, right, We got to

173
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: continue to see it. But it looked good tonight, and

174
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: it looked good in spring. So I'm happy to see

175
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: mccant's starting to succeed and get back to that player

176
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: that he was in high school and just starting to

177
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: be himself a little bit more.

178
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then you know, the interesting part is too

179
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: that he mentioned this. I think he was either in

180
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: spring training or is actually no those during the fish

181
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: Fest for the walls. He was mentioning how much he

182
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: was mentioning a third base, and today he goes into

183
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: second base, So definitely interesting there. I think that's definitely

184
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: something to monitor because still one of the biggest issues

185
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: with McCants is where will he find his home defensively,

186
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: and that's hopefully second base, but really would be nice

187
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: to have him at third or some sort of versatility

188
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: there where he could play you both. I mean, fortunately

189
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: he's just not a shortstop anymore, what you know. It's

190
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: just definitely tough for him there, but again, very productive

191
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: night for Jordan McCants. I think the other guy, and

192
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: I know you shout it, you wanted to shout at

193
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: him and shout him out, because I know you did

194
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: on Twitter, is Sam Prader, who also hit a home run.

195
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: I know you've been dealing with a lot of injuries

196
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: through these past couple of years, Alex. Just to see

197
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: Parader do what he did tonight.

198
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a lot of miss time overall. Right,

199
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 2: So over the course of twenty twenty two and twenty

200
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: twenty three.

201
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 3: This guy missed a ton of time.

202
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: So to just see him back and in this kind

203
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: of shape to be able to hit this pretty damn

204
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 2: for our home run and then do this pretty monstrous

205
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: bat flip.

206
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: Super cool for this guy.

207
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: He's got to feel really good. It's just tons and

208
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 2: tons and tons of miss time, you know, injuries. I

209
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: think some other stuff was mixed in there as well.

210
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 3: Not gonna go into detail what that was, but I

211
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 3: think there was a couple of other things mixed in

212
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: there as well for this guy.

213
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 2: But just super cool to see him back and successful

214
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: is the is the main thing for Sam pray Tour.

215
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 3: Pretty cool man. Just a racous last two years for

216
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: this guy.

217
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 2: Just nothing connected, didn't really sync up, wasn't really healthy

218
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: all the way. It wasn't really able to be all

219
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: the way there. And then to see him back tonight

220
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 2: in his first game to hit the home run, I

221
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: know this had.

222
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: To feel good for this guy. So pretty cool. A

223
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 3: lot of turbulent times for this guy in the last

224
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: two years.

225
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: Just to see him back and to do this in

226
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: his first game is is awesome and I'm happy for him.

227
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, really limited time, but again, high

228
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: strikeout rates this past season in forty five games, which

229
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: is one undred and fifty eight play appearances, twenty six

230
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: point six strikeout percentage at the low A level, So

231
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he's really gonna have to get it going.

232
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: But in such a and it's such a depleted system

233
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: specifically and catching, he's gonna have a good chance to

234
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: move up really quick and you know, start like that.

235
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: It's really gonna help him out, Alex. Let's take a

236
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: look quickly just at the at the roster in general.

237
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean, this is probably gonna be one of the

238
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: more fun teams we're gonna watch or cover this season.

239
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: Obviously highlighted by Thomas Swite and Noble Meyer. Who else

240
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: stands out to you in this in this roster for

241
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: the Jumbo Shrip, I mean Hammerheads, Yeah.

242
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: For sure, so definitely want John Cruise is kind of

243
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: the main guy you kind of look at, one of

244
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: the main guys that you look at that came.

245
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 3: Over to the Marlins in a trade.

246
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: This guy is still in his teenage years and has

247
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: all the potential in the world. It's super super cool

248
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 2: to see this guy at a full season level. We're

249
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: gonna see how it plays over the course of a

250
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 2: full season, so we're gonna see this guy regularly.

251
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be out there every day.

252
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: I know he can play pretty much all over in

253
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: the outfield, So I think this guy's gonna be pretty

254
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: much out there.

255
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: Every day, and you're gonna see what this guy can.

256
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: Do on a full season basis, which is gonna be

257
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: for the first time in his career.

258
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 3: So really excited about John Cruise.

259
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,599
Speaker 2: That guy is definitely a guy who can do a

260
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: lot of things if he's at his full potential. So

261
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 2: I am excited about John Cruise, especially with how developed

262
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: his swing already is, but the power potential that he

263
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: already has, that guy could be very, very good. And

264
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: he's a very exciting prospect that we're just now getting

265
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: to know in the Marlins organization. But from the things

266
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: that we see in historical output that we've seen from

267
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 2: this guy, this guy could be really really good. So

268
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: I'm excited for for John Cruise. Another guy, of course,

269
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 2: I mean, of course you see Noble and Thomas. We'll

270
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: see Noble tomorrow, like I said, But another guy that

271
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: I want to mention is Mark Coley. This guy's kind

272
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: of under the radar, gets the attention that he need

273
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 2: that he should get.

274
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: It was drafted the last year. He's back in Jupiter.

275
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: Now. I thought he could have gone up to single advanced,

276
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 2: but they keep him back in Jupiter, which is okay.

277
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: Gains a double tonight. Like you said, Kevin, this guy's

278
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 2: got a a a pretty sweet power swing. I think

279
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: the swing could promote a lot of power for this guy.

280
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: It's huge uppercut. There's a lot of uppercuts to it.

281
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna need to rein it in, gonna need to

282
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: not try to do too much like we said last

283
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: year for McCants, I don't want this guy to follow

284
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: into the same trap which we sometimes see from guys

285
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: that are that are permeating to the major league level

286
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: or a pro level, I guess I should say.

287
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 3: But yeah, Mark Coley is definitely a guy to watch

288
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 3: for sure.

289
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 2: I know he was doing some light work in spring training,

290
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: so I'm doing a lot of light work along with McCants,

291
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 2: So I think it was dealing with hamstring. But these

292
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 2: guys seem to be one hundred percent. They seem to

293
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 2: be ready to go. And yeah, you saw me can tonight,

294
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: you saw Coley tonight. I think this team's really exciting. Man.

295
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: It's a lot of under the radar prospects it's not

296
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: really guys that you would think that are like these

297
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: top one hundred MiLB prospects. But these guys got some talent, man,

298
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 2: and I'm excited to see some of these guys come

299
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 2: back and maybe pop back into that top one hundred

300
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: or you know, at least organizational top thirty here.

301
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 3: Over the course of this year. I never lost hope McCants.

302
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 3: I like Mark Coley a lot. Raydenburg. We're gonna have

303
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: to see see what he does with raining in his levers.

304
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: I think there's a little bit that he needs to

305
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: do with, you know, just just managing his size.

306
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: I think that's the main thing for Raydenburg. But yeah,

307
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 3: there's there's tons of talent on this team.

308
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: I really do think that this is probably I mean,

309
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: all these teams are are there's something to watch, but

310
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 2: I think this team has the most to watch in

311
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: the Morn's organization.

312
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: Is this low a level. I really like the Shammarhadz roster.

313
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a fun, huge watch.

314
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent agree with you. And I'm glad

315
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: you mentioned John Cruse because's funny enough. We really haven't

316
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: recorded in such a long time that you know that

317
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: John Cruise trade went down a lots alike with the

318
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: guy too. I mean, I think you mentioned the swing,

319
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: and we were trying to find out where we're going

320
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 1: to rank this guy, and you kind of wanted to

321
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: put him urgently like in the twenties. I said, I

322
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: think it's a little more advanced than that man, you know,

323
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: and we wanted to put him over of a lower

324
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: under the lore. We won't say where we ended up

325
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: putting him, but we put him up pretty high at

326
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: the end. I think we came to a pretty good

327
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: agreement just looking at the balance and opposite field percentage

328
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: and that full power. It's not so much pull as

329
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: it is, you know. You see if, for example, like

330
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: a Rock Vandenberger, someone like his age, he's just I

331
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: think he's just six, eighteen or nineteen years old. He's

332
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: still very young, I mean, and to be doing what

333
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: he's doing at this level is very, very impressive. I

334
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: know he had a struggled tonight. I mean he went

335
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: oh for four with with one walk and two strikeouts,

336
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: So not not a great Jupiter Hammerhead's debut, or even

337
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: Marlin's organizational debut. You quickly mentioned Mark Collia you know,

338
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: he had that RBI double today two strikeouts unfortunately though,

339
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: and then Brock Raidenberg had went one for three with

340
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: two walks one hit, so not too shabby for Brock

341
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: uh the bullpen. I'm very excited to see what e

342
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: Xaber Meatrim does. This is someone who really stood out

343
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: to me during spring training. I think it did to

344
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: you as well as Carver. And this is a guy

345
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: who I'm very very excited to watch pitch today. Actually

346
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: he went one to one third, struck out one didn't

347
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: give up a hit, so Kim and relief for Thomas

348
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: White when he got into a little bit of a trouble.

349
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: There only other two guys that I kind of want

350
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: to shout out here. Well, first of all, I think

351
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: it's worth noting Victim Mason Junior ONNYE rehab assignment. That's

352
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: why he is shown on the opening day roster dealing

353
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: with a little ankle injury. So I think he had

354
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: a couple hits andnight he went one for four with

355
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: one hit and two walks one strikeout, So not too

356
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: bad for mister Mason Junior. He should be back in

357
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: trip life soon. Ryan mcgnoffel making that transition fully to

358
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: catch her. He now starts at low A. He was

359
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: at single A last year. Carmen Lane new guy as well,

360
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: he was the FCL. He should be going up pretty

361
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: soon as well. Just aged wise, and you're all Martinez,

362
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: this is a guy I'm very excited to see Alex.

363
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with him there. But anything else

364
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: you want to highlight on this roster or even that

365
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: first game before we move on to single A.

366
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: I guess the only other thing we could call out

367
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: real quick. Again, like I said, we'll see Noble tomorrow.

368
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 3: We all know about him. We saw Thomas tonight, we

369
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 3: talked about him. You'll see Jake Brooks on Sunday, by

370
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: the way, that's gonna be their starter on Sunday.

371
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: But the only other guy I wanted to call it

372
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: is Kolbe's shade. This guy he was drafted last year

373
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: and didn't play at all. I think he was dealing

374
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: with a hand or wrist injury or something like that,

375
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: so didn't play at all.

376
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 3: But saw him in spring training.

377
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: And this guy's got some really good batspeed and can

378
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: play all three outfield spots, So keep an eye on him.

379
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: Another under the radar guy that nobody's talking about. And

380
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: then Jake de Leo, who had an amazing spring training.

381
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: He got into a big league game and hit a

382
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: home run, and then the day after he hit two

383
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: on a backfields game.

384
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 3: So we talked to him in spring. You can see

385
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: that interview on Twitter and stuff like that. So yeah,

386
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 3: that guy as well as another guy to kind of

387
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 3: look at. Really exciting outfield overall.

388
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: And then you get Victor Mason Junior in the mix,

389
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: like what just a really cool outfield for Jupiter.

390
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: A lot of talent there, a lot of talent all over.

391
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: So I'm really excited for the Hammerheads and how they

392
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: go about things this year. I think.

393
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: Overall, though, what I would say for that team and

394
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: from where the Marlins are as an organization, is you

395
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: don't see a lot of challenge. Only one one member

396
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty three draft class that they challenge

397
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 2: to a new level. So they're gonna have to challenge

398
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 2: guys eventually. You see a out of that talent still

399
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: sticking back at the lower levels. They're gonna have to

400
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: challenge guys eventually to new levels. So we'll see how

401
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 2: they do that throughout the year. Obviously they're cultivating talent

402
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: and trying to get the most out of these guys,

403
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: which I understand, but at some point you got to

404
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 2: try to challenge older guys like Shade is twenty two.

405
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: Of course, you're not going to put him up in

406
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: you know, double A to start his to start his

407
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: pro career, but they probably could have put him in

408
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 2: single advanced right and make them form another guy, but

409
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: they don't do it.

410
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,239
Speaker 3: Maybe Paguanto or somebody like that. They don't do it.

411
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 3: They stick.

412
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: They stick with him to make his debut in in

413
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: a low A. But like I said, they're gonna be

414
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 2: moving parts at that level throughout the year. So even

415
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: though it's an exciting roster to start the year, I

416
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: think there will be a lot of movement, especially at

417
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: that level as we go throughout twenty twenty four.

418
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: Alrighty, let's move on to how a bloit. They won

419
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: their game in pretty much dramatic fashion. They wanted to

420
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: a final score of I want to say, three to zero,

421
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: three to one, Joe mcket a solo home run, and

422
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: then you have my boy Torn Montgomery hitting a two

423
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: run bomb right after him Cape got on base. So

424
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: good to see that EDI ended up going two for

425
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: four with two hits only one strikeout. So good start

426
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: of the season for him. But I think the story

427
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: of the day, or the story of minor league baseball

428
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: for the Marlins, was really Carson Melburnt. Five innings, two hits,

429
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: no runs, no earned, one walk, five strikeouts. He looked

430
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: really damn good, Alex. I mean what you like about

431
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: mister Carson Milburn. I think this is a guy who

432
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: soon enough and there are in our mid season rankings,

433
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: may see a quick rise if he continues to pitch

434
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: the way he did tonight.

435
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the walkout that's most encouraging. This guy's main

436
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: issue in years past has been his controlling command.

437
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: Uh.

438
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 2: And to see him rein it in like he did

439
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 2: tonight and go five innings with what did you say,

440
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 2: like two I think it was just two otch or

441
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: something like that. One or one walk there he got

442
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 2: even better. It was very, very very good. So yeah, awesome, awesome,

443
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: awesome controlling command. That was his main focus. I'm gonna

444
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 2: need to see how he does it with all of

445
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 2: his pitches. I know he was throwing mostly fastball, fastball,

446
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: breaking ball. I think it was slider in spring training,

447
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 2: but we're gonna need to see how he rains it

448
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: in fully with the rest of his arsenal because he's

449
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: got like four pitches at least, so.

450
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 3: We'll see how he rains it in.

451
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 2: We didn't have stack cast tonight, so I don't know

452
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 2: exactly what he was throwing, so I can't tell you that.

453
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, just to see that this guy had the

454
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 2: controlling command that he did through five innings, hopefully with

455
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: all of his pitches, or at least the most of

456
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: his pitches that he could have, it's really really awesome.

457
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: Got a really good fastball, it's probably his best pitch.

458
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: He's got slider, curveball, and change up as well, So

459
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: really really good to see this guy just work through

460
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: five innings and start right out of the gate and

461
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: not walk a lot of guys.

462
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 3: That was his main issue.

463
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 2: That's been his main issue too, and to see it

464
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: really come together for him tonight, it kind of just

465
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: shows that, hey, what I was doing in spring training,

466
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: the work I did in spring training is gonna pay off.

467
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 2: It looked good in spring training as well, so from

468
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: what I saw, So that's gonna be the main thing

469
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: to watch for Carson. But this guy's got good stuff.

470
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: It's it's really good, and we'll see how he kind

471
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 2: of goes throughout the rest of the year. But I

472
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: was really encouraged to see just controlling command numbers permeate

473
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: for Carson tonight, for.

474
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 3: What he was on spring. It was really cool.

475
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: Yep, another guy. I think we'll keep it on the

476
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: pitching side for a little bit, Hoult Jones. I know

477
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: we've had our highs and lows with him, but got

478
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: to give him props tonight two innings, doesn't allow single hit,

479
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: no runs, two strikeouts. Then you have Edgard Sanchez. You

480
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: may know a little bit more about him than I do.

481
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: Only give up one hit, one strikeout, and then you

482
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: had I think it's Josh White. I want to say, yes,

483
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: Josh White. He was draft I think he was in

484
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: that twenty twenty. He was that draft with I want

485
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: to say Barry and or Watson. And he goes one inning,

486
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: two hits, one run, one earned, one walk, no strikeouts,

487
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: but gets the job done, gets to save. But let's

488
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: quickly go on the hitting side. Talk about Joe Mack.

489
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,479
Speaker 1: This is a guy who we actually removed from our

490
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: top thirty. We just weren't very high on him. We

491
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: know the one guy who wanted to keep him was

492
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: he But you know, I think us three, you know, you,

493
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: Isaac and I were all pretty convinced that he should

494
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: be gone from the list. But as a home run

495
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,239
Speaker 1: tonight has a double two goes to for four. What

496
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: do you think about, mister Joe mac Alex.

497
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looked a little bit better in spring training.

498
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: I'm definitely just making a little bit more contact.

499
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 3: You know.

500
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: The monicam of being like a lefty hitting, righty throwing

501
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 2: catcher is always interesting to me, and that's what this

502
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 2: guy is. But like we said about other players, still

503
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 2: just twenty one, so there's still tons of time as

504
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 2: a high school catcher, and if you know anything about

505
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: high school catchers, they take a long time sometimes to

506
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: develop offensively.

507
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 3: It happened with Bill Banfield and look where he is now.

508
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 3: So to see Joe come out of the gate and

509
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 3: have two extra race hits, super cool man, awesome for him.

510
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 3: Glad to see it.

511
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not out on Joe Mac and never

512
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: have been, just because he's a high school catcher and

513
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: like I said, it sometimes takes him a long time

514
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 2: to develop offensively.

515
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 3: But today was cool.

516
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 2: He's repeating a level that he spent all year last

517
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 2: year at, though, so keep that in mind.

518
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: So he knows this level pretty well.

519
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 2: Will it happen long term, We're gonna have to see,

520
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 2: but glad to see it start tonight.

521
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 3: I think he's pretty.

522
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 2: Damn good defensively, and we'll see how he continues to

523
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: develop throughout the year. I think he'll probably spend most

524
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 2: of the first half with Bloy and then if it

525
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,239
Speaker 2: permeates for him, they're gonna have to do something with

526
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 2: Paul McIntosh at Double A because Joe mcneed's regular playing time,

527
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 2: so there's a lot of traffic there with catchers, especially

528
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 2: with Banfield back in Triple A. So we're gonna have

529
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 2: to see what happens with the traffic that they do

530
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 2: with catchers. But I would expect mac to spend most

531
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: of this year, at least at least the first half,

532
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: maybe even more in the single A advanced level. No

533
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 2: reason to early rush. I'm still just twenty one. Get

534
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: this guy comfortable, make sure his offense is going to permeate.

535
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. I think Tomorrowins will be smart

536
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: to keep this guy at single advance for a full

537
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 2: second year and just see how the bat can fully develop.

538
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: But I think the interesting case with Mac is that

539
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: maybe you can look at what happened with Bennet hosteler

540
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: Line and I know it's a different type of defensive look,

541
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: but offensively, I mean hostetler Man, he was really bad

542
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: at the high A level and and it looks like

543
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: this is the case with a lot of guys. Maybe

544
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: maybe you could back me up here, but a lot

545
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: of guys struggle at beloit and a big reason of

546
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: that is obviously is the weather. And then you go

547
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: to Pensacola and all of a sudden, you know which

548
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: double A expected to be arguably one of the hardest

549
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: levels to hit in. Is you know where they really

550
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: find the success. Barry. I know we'll talk about him

551
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: as soon, because he had his moment today. You know,

552
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: he he kind of looked a little bit better going

553
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: from hyad to the beloit I mean to double A.

554
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: But then you have Benet Hosteller and he looked like

555
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: a completely different offensive player. So maybe it helps out

556
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: Mac a little bit making that transition. But again, just

557
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 1: twenty one, I know you're not out of him. I'm

558
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: kind of I don't know if he really gets to go,

559
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: and I may jump back on the on the Mac

560
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: on the Mac Drue Mac train. But aside from that,

561
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: good for him, you know, really well deserved. That guy

562
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: has been working hard. He caught a great game too

563
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: with with Carson Milbrant talking about tornn gummer Man. I

564
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: think it has to happen. You know, he's your boy.

565
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: Two run Shot. He was the only only only Bullet

566
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: Skycrop to not strike out. And I'm gonna look back. Yeah,

567
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: he was the only one who didn't strike out. I

568
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: think if I struck out once, all right, that might

569
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: have been.

570
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 3: Very late in the game.

571
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: But either way, Tuang two run Shot lost a lot

572
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: of weighting the off season, but never lost that power maker,

573
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: made a lot of adjustments. We spoke to him a

574
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: couple of times during the spring Alex big, big, big

575
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: opening day for him.

576
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, super cool, Like this guy showed up first

577
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 2: day of camp. He was actually there kind of early,

578
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 2: like a couple of days before spring camp started, and

579
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 2: I was like, who the heck is this guy did

580
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 2: not does does not look anything the way that he.

581
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 3: Looked in twenty twenty three.

582
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 2: Slim down a lot but like you said, Kevin, uh,

583
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 2: obviously didn't lose the power because look what he did tonight.

584
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 2: So what he also said is trying not to force

585
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 2: power and just trying to get to his lower body

586
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 2: a little bit more and make it work for him

587
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: while taking what he can get and just let the

588
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 2: power come naturally. So super cool to see touring off

589
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: to a really good start as well. One of the

590
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: nicest guys that you'll ever meet. Awesome, awesome dude. I

591
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: hope he's dealing with the cold weather as best as

592
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 2: he can. I know he was there in January for

593
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: their skycarp Fest or whatever it is for fans for

594
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: he was signing autographs and stuff, and he was like, man,

595
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 2: I had to bring like like seven winner coats and

596
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: I you know, when when he got assigned back to Belloyd,

597
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 2: I was like, dude, you got those coats back.

598
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 3: He's like yep, so he's he's bumbled up, but uh yeah, no,

599
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 3: it's it's it's going to work, man.

600
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: As long as he's staying warm, he's doing good, and

601
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 2: it seems like that's that's what's happening.

602
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 3: So super cool to see Torn succeed first day of

603
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:37,479
Speaker 3: the season.

604
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 2: Still has that power, even though he's lost thirty pounds,

605
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: still's got that power. Defensively limited, it's first base only

606
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 2: or DH, so he's gonna have to make the offense

607
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 2: go to work for him to fully make it. But

608
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: to come out first day of the season and and

609
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: get a bomb pretty cool for him, man, and glad

610
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 2: to see it.

611
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: One guy who really needed to step it up this season,

612
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: and he's already off to a great start as Ye Decape,

613
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: who went two for four with two singles, two base hits,

614
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: and he had to pop out in a strikeout, but

615
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: again looked really good at third base tonight. Alex this

616
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: is a guy who I spoke to during the spring

617
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: breakout game said he refeels really good where he's at

618
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: right now. But again, just not too much physique change.

619
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: It's really a lot of the same. But we saw

620
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: him out of a pretty good spring for the most part,

621
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: nothing really standing out. He was one of those guys

622
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: where we were kind of neutral, and he's right now

623
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: our number oh he's our number nine prospects, so he

624
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: really went down in our rankings. But once again, I

625
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: mean a good start for him in a good maybe

626
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: mid season transition. Over to Pensacola could help him out

627
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: a little bit, especially with already a full season at

628
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: the high level. I mean, this is a guy who

629
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,959
Speaker 1: I think they may have pushed a little bit too

630
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: aggressively to that Beloit level. Really struggled in Jupiter, never

631
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: really got to go in and then still you make

632
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: it go to Beloit. Didn't look too good there now

633
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: gets I guess a revenge opportunity here or second ans.

634
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's another guy who you know, like you said,

635
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 2: they challenged pretty quickly last year.

636
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 3: Probably could have gone back to Jupiter last year.

637
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 2: But of course, you know, there's changes that have been

638
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: made in the front office and player development department this

639
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 2: year now, so maybe they do this guy a little

640
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: bit differently, which is why he's repeating like you said,

641
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 2: Like we said before, they're not really pushing guys very

642
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 2: very hard. I don't think this guy deserves to be

643
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 2: pushed very hard, just because, like you said, last year

644
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 2: was a real struggle in his full full season, first

645
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 2: full season at the full season level. So yeah, before that,

646
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 2: only played sixty seven games in twenty twenty two, So yeah,

647
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: this guy needed a full season under his belt. Now

648
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 2: he has it, so what's gonna happen now that he

649
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 2: has that full season cold weather climate made it happen

650
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 2: pretty much right away, which is great.

651
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: Let's see how that permeates over the course of the

652
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 3: full season.

653
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 2: Again, another guy who is twenty one, so still tons

654
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: and tons of time making I think probably full time

655
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: transition or almost full time transition, probably to third base.

656
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 3: From what we've heard.

657
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: That the Mardins want him to play more third base,

658
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 2: which I think it's fair. But if you play second

659
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 2: base too, that's also fine. But what we expect to

660
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 2: see time from from.

661
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: Cape at surveys as well, so to see this guy

662
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 3: get right to it.

663
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: Like you said, Kevin, you know, get two hits in tonight,

664
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: also had a couple of hits in the prospect breakout game.

665
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 2: But I think what you said is is also very true.

666
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 2: There's just no physical development, or really very little. We

667
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 2: thought this guy was a guy who had a young

668
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: physique that could build onto the young physique and become

669
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 2: larger and build into more size and power. Really from

670
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 2: our looks at him, that hasn't really happened.

671
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 3: So when is when does that happen?

672
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: Right? When does that become a thing for for this

673
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: player is kind of my main question for for YETI

674
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 2: I think if that happened and he got, you know,

675
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: built into more power, built into more physique, you'd solve

676
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: things like the length and the swing. You'd sell things

677
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 2: like being able to go to all of your fields,

678
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: which I think he struggles with. So there's a few

679
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 2: things there for Cape. Mostly the size projection hasn't really

680
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 2: come to fruition, so we'll see how he does with that.

681
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 2: But again, still time not out at all. We talked

682
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: to JJ Cooper he's not out either, so there's a

683
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 2: lot of time and I'm excited for this guy. I

684
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: think he also will spend most of the year in

685
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 2: Beloit repeating, but we'll see what happens with him. Don't

686
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: think he's eligible for the push to double A yet.

687
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 2: I don't think he will be unless he really pops off.

688
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 2: I don't think he will be over the course of

689
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 2: the season.

690
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 3: But we'll see.

691
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 2: I think the Marlins will be smart to just fully

692
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: cultivate this guy, kind of like we said with with

693
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 2: others that we've already talked about. So fine with seeing

694
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 2: him back with Beloit. We'll see how it happens for him.

695
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: Throughout the year. But yeah, really size projection is the.

696
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 3: Main thing we scot.

697
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: I'll just quickly touch on myself. Cam Barstad's the only

698
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: other Beloit skycarpboarded to hit Gay. Good for him to

699
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: multi hit games came from Joe mcguni cap and Cam Barsat,

700
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: so good for the We'll move quickly to the roster.

701
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: There's no actual graphics, so we're just gonna have to

702
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: pull it up like this where you cannot see our faces.

703
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: But uh, I think the big ones Ike Buxton on

704
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: the pitching side, Alex I did not expect to see

705
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: Ike Buxton back in Beloit. After you know, a lot

706
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 1: of success there, goes up, makes one start in Pensacola

707
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: and really succeeded. He was there at the fish vest

708
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: and everything it looked like everything lined up for him

709
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: to go back to Pensacola. Doesn't go back. Aside from that,

710
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: really everything looks kind of norm wana. Ian Lewis is

711
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: dealing with some stuff, so he's not yet in Beloyd

712
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: and Jordan mccamp's I think was the one that surprised

713
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: you a little bit. But aside from that, anything else

714
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: it stands out to you.

715
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's just a room thing for Buxton.

716
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 2: He did go up to shoot Pensacola at end of

717
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: year last year, you know, and did did did make

718
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: an outing there, but did really well with with the

719
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 2: skycarp So I was pretty surprised by this one man.

720
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 3: You know, seven starts last year in thirty four.

721
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 2: Innings, you know, hell guys down to a third two

722
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 2: thirty five batting average with a three point seventy one era.

723
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 3: I thought that guy did enough to maybe.

724
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: Get the push up to the upper miners this year

725
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 2: and get that challenge at age twenty three.

726
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 3: I think it's just kind of a room thing.

727
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 2: You know, when you have guys like Jeff Lindgren that

728
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 2: are taking spots at Double A, it's kind of like, okay,

729
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 2: you know what's And that's also surprising. I didn't inspect

730
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: that guy at double either, but you got to get

731
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 2: guys in things right, and you want to see this

732
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: guy pitch regularly. So I think it's more of a

733
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: more of a just a roster just a roster crunch thing.

734
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you saw have him with day Myers with

735
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: the Marlins, right. That guy's done everything he needs to

736
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 2: do to get to the major leagues. He can't be

737
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 2: there right now because a roster crunch. The same thing here,

738
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 2: there's more guys in his way. He's still twenty three.

739
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: There's older guys in his way. I get it, older

740
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 2: guys that you want to see more from that may

741
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 2: be able to help the Marlins, especially with where they're

742
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 2: aut with pitching.

743
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 3: I get it.

744
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: You want to keep pitching depth around, so I understand,

745
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: but it always, it always hurts me to see younger

746
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 2: guys get held back because I think that guy does

747
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 2: belong in Double A. And like you said, I'm pretty

748
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 2: sure he was at least near or around the fish

749
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: fest that they had so really interesting.

750
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, we spoke to him and everything.

751
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, we talked to him, and you know he

752
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: was there, and you know he was mentioned in the

753
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 2: blue while Who's media day that we did. Hey, I

754
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: like he was supposed to be there. Like I think

755
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 2: it was one of those like last minute things. But

756
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: really tough to see him get held back. Also, same

757
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,959
Speaker 2: thing we're going to talk about Double A, but same

758
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 2: thing in Double A with Bermudez.

759
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 3: I think they got along as to Triple A. So

760
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 3: it's it's a room thing.

761
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 2: It's a roster crunch, so you know, it sucks for him,

762
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 2: but yeah, a little weird. I think that guy's gonna

763
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 2: be fine though, and hopefully he gets the push up

764
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 2: to to higher levels here soon to Double A, at

765
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 2: least Double A, maybe even Triple A, because I think

766
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 2: Buxton is a guy that's gonna come on pretty strong.

767
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 2: I think he's pretty good out of the bullpen, so

768
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: I like I Buston. He was the prospect game too,

769
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, a little weird, but more of just probably

770
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 2: a roster cruncher than anything else.

771
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 3: But I think he's gonna be fine.

772
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot to like with Buckston's profile, and

773
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: I think maybe not now going to the bullpen, maybe

774
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: when he goes up to Triple A or maybe towards

775
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: the back end of his time in Double A, he

776
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 1: could really make the case to throw him in the bullpen.

777
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: See how that goes. Give him one inning spurts, because

778
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, for some of these guys,

779
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: going to the bullpen is really gonna be what's gonna

780
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: help them really get to that next level, gets to

781
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: the major league level. Because the mominos are.

782
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 3: Kind of set.

783
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm starting pitching, I know Gary Press went down to

784
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: Tommy John. But you still have Lozardo, you still have Bracks.

785
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: You still We'll see with Edward because Jeeves did. He

786
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: not looked very good today in Triple A Jacksonville. But

787
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: you know they have a lot of starting pitching Aside

788
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: from that Alex, They're not much more to touch on

789
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: with hy Let's go to Double A. That was a

790
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: very fun game, eight to six win for the Wahoos.

791
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: Spoke to Tanner Allen post game. We'll probably play some

792
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: part of the clip of his post game on this podcast,

793
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: but big day for him. But let's talk about Jacob Barry.

794
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: He first first at bat for the guy goes out

795
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: there and hits an absolute nuke into the Pensacola Bay Carver.

796
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: Anything to be excited about with Jacob Barry. I know

797
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: this is the guy who were not very high on

798
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: in her prospect list. He is our number fourteen prospect.

799
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: But I mean, I think Barry really has a chance

800
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: to take off here with pensee cool on his first

801
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: full season at the Double A level.

802
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 3: Yeah for sure.

803
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: And I guess the most encouraging thing about Jacob Barry,

804
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 2: on top of the home run that you mentioned tonight,

805
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 2: Kevin is that on his minor league Baseball player profile

806
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 2: he's listed as a first baseman.

807
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 3: Most encouraging thing about Jacob Berry that I.

808
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 2: Could say is that he's listed as the first basement

809
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 2: on his minor league baseball player profile.

810
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 3: Put the guy at first base.

811
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 2: We've been screaming about it. Put the guy at first base.

812
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 2: I don't understand why this guy's still playing third base.

813
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 2: Needs to be a first baseman. Take some pressure off

814
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 2: the bat, play an easier position. Doesn't really have the

815
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 2: arm for third base. Honestly, in my opinion, we've seen

816
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 2: that permeate a bit. So man, Put the guy at

817
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 2: first base. Take the pressure off the bat and you'll

818
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 2: see more things like this home run that we saw

819
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 2: to I honestly do believe that. So a good first

820
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 2: at bat for Jacob. Barry did speak to him as

821
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 2: part of the wahho's media day. Really didn't say that

822
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 2: he's made any real adjustments, but just trying to be

823
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: more of a pure hitter that came to Fruition today.

824
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 3: This was a pure hit.

825
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 2: It was like us dead Kevin into the Pensacola Bay there,

826
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 2: which was great, awesome first impression for Barry, But how

827
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 2: is it going to perme it? This is one game

828
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 2: on top of a pretty subparwer performance last year, so

829
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 2: we'll see what he does. I also didn't really see

830
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 2: anything that stood out about Jacob Barry in this spring.

831
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 2: There was a lot of groundouts, a lot of strikeouts

832
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 2: against lesser competition or lower down competition, I guess I

833
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 2: should say, But to see him come out and get

834
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 2: a home run in his first game off of a starter,

835
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: that's pretty awesome.

836
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 3: So congratulations to Barry.

837
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 2: But man, I would just really really like to see

838
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 2: some pressure taken off of this guy by moving him

839
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 2: to first baseball time.

840
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, with him, I think there's I mean,

841
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: this guy's still young and there's still time. I think

842
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to call it quits on Barry. I know,

843
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, with the prospect ranking it may look like fourteen.

844
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: You're telling us all geezu, Like, you know, this was

845
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: a first round pick. This guy was chosen before some

846
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: really good players in the draft. But again it's just

847
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: one of those cases where he's gone off to a

848
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: slow start. And I mean, this is an experienced hitter man.

849
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: This was a college starter at one point for a

850
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: really good team, you know, I know the defense is

851
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: really what's holding him back right now and really quickly.

852
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. We won't talk about this a little

853
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: a lot, but Pensacola may have had the best opening

854
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: day show up in term for fans. They had a

855
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: full sellout. Look at that you can kind of see

856
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: the background there with the crowd. So shout out to Pensacola,

857
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: Carver and I will be there at some point this year.

858
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: That's a very fun ballpark to go to. But let's

859
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: keep it going. Have your Sonoha. If there is one.

860
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 3: Player who got really really.

861
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: Pushed up, it was Sonoha and he proved it. He

862
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: had a hit, first double, a hit, look really good

863
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: for the most part playing shortstop, which really stood out

864
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: to me. Your thoughts on mister Soanelja Carver.

865
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, guy plays all over the place. You know, it's

866
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 2: it's it's crazy, just the versatility of this player and

867
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 2: then the simplicity in the bat like you see today.

868
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 3: It gets a simple hit.

869
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 2: That's what this guy is. That's what this guy does. Uh,

870
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 2: he just gets simple hits. Man, And he goes out

871
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 2: today and actually gets two. So two hits for this

872
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 2: guy today two singles. They're pretty simple. Just just poking

873
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 2: the ball, just just just getting the bat on the

874
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 2: ball and and and getting on bass is what this

875
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 2: guy does.

876
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: There.

877
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 2: You go right to the opposite field, just reaching out,

878
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 2: going to the opposite field. As you can see if

879
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 2: you're watching us on on YouTube, that this is is awesome.

880
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 2: It's just a a really really cool uh kind of

881
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 2: guy that is unheralded because he doesn't hit home runs.

882
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 2: But what this guy does for you is he plays

883
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 2: basically every position on the baseball field and then just

884
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 2: gets on bass. So this is a guy who could

885
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 2: be a top of the order bat. Doesn't strike out

886
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 2: basically at all, just gets on base, gets these simple

887
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 2: easy hits, and it's just a pure scrappy player. I

888
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 2: really like guys like this. We've seen players like this

889
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 2: come through the.

890
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 3: Marlins organization in the past.

891
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 2: You see it now with guys like you know, I'm

892
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: not saying that this guy is Luisa Rias, but you

893
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 2: see guys like Luisa Rias, Jose L two day guys

894
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 2: like that. That's kind of the profile that Hobby or

895
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 2: Sona could could potentially get to one day if he

896
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 2: reaches a extremely high ceiling At the very least, this

897
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 2: guy's just going to basically give you a super high OBP,

898
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 2: especially at the minor league level.

899
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 3: We'll see how it translates to the majors one day.

900
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 3: But to see him make.

901
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: His double A debut today, get on base twice by

902
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 2: these simple, easy hits pushed as a twenty one year

903
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 2: old that was in spring training with the Marlins the

904
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 2: whole way was one of actually the last cuts. We

905
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 2: expect him to be one of the first. He was

906
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,439
Speaker 2: actually one of the last to go out of Marlins camp.

907
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: So super cool to see the one guy that they

908
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 2: pushed Kevin. Like you said, the one guy I think

909
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 2: that they pushed the most is Jabier sooha, and to

910
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 2: see it pay off for them is awesome. So this

911
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 2: guy definitely made an impression on the Marlins the spring.

912
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 2: Twenty one year old at double A having success, can't

913
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 2: say enough.

914
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 3: Pretty great. I think you're gonna see him in the

915
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 3: lineup very regularly.

916
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 2: Because of how many positions he plays, and I'm super

917
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 2: proud of this kid.

918
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 3: It's really cool for him. I'm glad to see this,

919
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 3: and what.

920
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: I really look about to know is the fact that

921
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: he's going to take advantage of this ballpark. For those

922
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: that don't know, Pensacle is a very picture friendly ballpark,

923
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 1: very difficult to get the ball out of there. I mean,

924
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, a post to Triple A Jacksonville, which is

925
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: very hitter friendly. Maybe not a little bit more pitcher friendly.

926
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll have to wait. But again, this is

927
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: a guy who's gonna use those gaps. He's gonna make

928
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 1: the best out of every single part of that field

929
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: opposite field out. We just saw it with that last

930
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: clip there for the on YouTube. This is a guy

931
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: who I'm very high on Alex. Very surprised to put

932
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: him at shortstop. We really saw him at second in

933
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: center field. Excited to see maybe they push him a

934
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: little bit a shortstop. If he succeeds there, you have

935
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: yourself a very nice shortstop prospect which could maybe make

936
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: the pushover to Triple A next year. We'll see. But

937
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: the one guy I want to talk to and I

938
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: think I'm very very happy about is Cody Morris set

939
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: hits an absolute new for the jump for the for

940
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: the law, who's very happy for this guy, had a

941
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 1: lot of injuries, ended up having a seventeen homer season

942
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: between the High and the Double A level, Alex, I

943
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 1: think this is a guy who I'm still very high

944
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: on despite not being in our top thirty. I think

945
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: has a lot of power potential and you know, keep

946
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: him at third or second base and Cody Morrissett is

947
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 1: really going to succeed.

948
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:34,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.

949
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And to hit this home run in a high

950
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,919
Speaker 2: game too, is was awesome, so really cool to see

951
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 2: from from morrise at which was was super cool. The

952
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 2: home run that you can see, hits a solo home

953
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 2: run in a tie baseball game to break it, which

954
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 2: is great, awesome for him, awesome to see it. But

955
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 2: just like you said, Kevin, this guy has had a

956
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 2: little bit of a journey kind of like you just

957
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 2: said as well. The ankle thing that he went through

958
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 2: basically shattered his ankle and required a very very serious

959
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 2: surgery which took him basically two years to come back from.

960
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 2: So to see him come back to Pensacola and hit

961
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 2: this home run in their opening day game to break

962
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 2: a high I know that he was very very happy

963
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 2: about that, I am sure. But all of his teammates

964
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 2: and all of his his managers and coaches describe him

965
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 2: as a leader which is great and I'm really really

966
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 2: happy to see that the leader of Pensacola teams in

967
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 2: the past and other teams in the past and the

968
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 2: Marlin system, Belloyd as well, get this kind of moment

969
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 2: for himself after going through what he's went through on

970
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: opening days.

971
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 3: Is awesome.

972
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 2: So super cool to see this plays both middleum field positions,

973
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 2: can even do some third base I think as well,

974
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: so some versatility to him as well. Like to see

975
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 2: this from Cody Morrissett, who we think could be pretty

976
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 2: good if he comes all the way back from some

977
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 2: miss time. So glad to see this from worse. Maybe

978
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 2: it was the last thing I'll say about Sona go ahead,

979
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 2: go for it. Yeah, the last thing I'll say about

980
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 2: Sonoa real quick before we move on, is a stolen

981
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 2: base potential, because I love how your Sonoa base thirty

982
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 2: seven steals last year.

983
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 3: So that guy can get on basic du damage. It's

984
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 3: gonna be great.

985
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 2: And then in front of guys like maybe, or even

986
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 2: in front of guys like Morisett or behind guys like Morrissett.

987
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 3: You're gonna do pretty well.

988
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 2: I think this Pencacola team's pretty pretty fun in a

989
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 2: scrappy kind of way.

990
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. And the one thing I like

991
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: about Morisseet is really that power potential. I mean, you

992
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: don't see many Marlin's prospect infielders that have the potential

993
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 1: that he does with his power. I think that's really

994
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: one of the things that's really that really just stands

995
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: out for me with Morisseet. Maybe he'll spend the full

996
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: season at Double A Pencacola, but there's a good chance

997
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: that he really gets to go in he will see

998
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 1: himself in Treble A Jacksonville. But we'll talk about that

999
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: level soon. I want to talk about Evan Fitter. You

1000
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: spoke to him on media day. What stood out really

1001
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: just to really not not the greatest start for him,

1002
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: almost almost hit one hundred pitches, but as going four

1003
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: and a third, ten hits, five runs, four earned a

1004
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: two walks, two strikeouts. Just doesn't look like that Evan

1005
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 1: Fitter we saw in Beloyd or even at the start

1006
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: of his Pencacola career.

1007
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, so you see a fairly as of variety.

1008
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 2: You know, at six three, you know, he's he's decent size,

1009
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 2: He's not like the biggest guy in the world, but

1010
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 2: he's the decent size high school pitcher who's missed a

1011
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 2: bit of time. I think he went through Tommy John

1012
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 2: early in his career and now he's back. I asked

1013
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 2: him actually how he thought his health stood up last year,

1014
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 2: and he said he actually, even though he never wound

1015
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 2: up on the injured list, he did kind of feel

1016
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 2: it kind of wearing down.

1017
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 3: He did go through a little bit where he was

1018
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 3: kind of limited with the arm.

1019
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 2: So you kind of worry about how the health permeates

1020
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 2: with this guy and how how advanced he is because

1021
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 2: of the miss time, and is he going to miss

1022
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 2: more time. I think as long as this guy's healthy,

1023
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: he's gonna be Okay. It's three good pitches, I think

1024
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 2: he's gonna be fine. But man, honestly, from what I've

1025
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 2: seen so far from Fitter, I do think he has

1026
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 2: a major some major league potential. But you know, it's

1027
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 2: just like you said, it's a lot of it's a

1028
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 2: lot of straight stuff. It's not a ton of like

1029
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 2: plus plus stuff that you see to this player. And

1030
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 2: that's why you see him get barreled up for like

1031
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 2: ten hits tonight. Right, So I really don't think his

1032
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: stuff is playing plus right now. I think that's kind

1033
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 2: of what he has to figure out, is getting back

1034
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 2: the full potential of his stuff, which I think he

1035
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 2: does have potential for it. I just don't think it's

1036
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 2: all the way there yet for this player coming out

1037
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 2: of spring training. I really didn't see it in spring

1038
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 2: training either. From what I saw of him was only

1039
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 2: a little bit that I saw in spring training.

1040
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 3: But I really didn't see a ton So can you

1041
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 3: get it back?

1042
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely can still twenty three, There's still there's still

1043
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 2: time playing at the Double A level for the first time.

1044
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 2: Maybe you give up ten hits, you know, maybe you

1045
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 2: can you can Readjust so there's time and there's there's

1046
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 2: there's a ways to go. Does have three four pitches

1047
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 2: to him? Like I said, So there's time, But just

1048
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 2: really haven't seen it really come to fruition for this

1049
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 2: picture yet.

1050
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens. Is he a starter, is

1051
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 3: he a bullpen pitcher? We'll see.

1052
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 2: I don't think you have to make that decision right now.

1053
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 2: I think we'll see him start most of the year

1054
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 2: this year. So, you know, only two strikeouts tonight, Like

1055
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 2: I said, stuff's not.

1056
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 3: Really playing up. We'll see. But there's potential, so I'm

1057
00:44:58,680 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 3: not all the way out yet, but we'll see what

1058
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 3: I think.

1059
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: The one guy we really need to talk about here

1060
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: is mister Tanner Allen. What a night for him? Plays

1061
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: very close to home here in Pensacolias, from Mobile, Alabama,

1062
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: very close to Pensacola. He ends up having a big

1063
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: day going I'm gonna look for a stat line, goes

1064
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: three for four with a double four RBIs what a

1065
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: night for mister Tanner Allen. We spoke to in post game.

1066
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: Very humble guy, very very well spoken, Alex. What stood

1067
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: out to you about Tanner Allen? He had a great

1068
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: season with Beloit last year and gets up to the

1069
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 1: double A level. Looks all right, but now really gonna

1070
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 1: play every day. No Victor Mason Junior, No Griffin Kna,

1071
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: I know Troy Johnson back in the outfield. Not even

1072
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: Paul McIntosh played a couple of games in the outfield

1073
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: there for the Wahoo's, but really quickly before Tanner Allen.

1074
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:48,959
Speaker 1: The one guy do want to mention it very quickly

1075
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: because I don't think it deserves a whole section is

1076
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: Shane Sasaki had his I believe a two hit night

1077
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: for the Wahoo's so good to see him get it

1078
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: going there his first career double a game. But let's

1079
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:00,720
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about Tanner Alan Alex.

1080
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so three for four awesome, awesome to see three

1081
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 2: hits for This guy did make it up to Pensacola

1082
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 2: for just for a small cup of coffee. I think

1083
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 2: he made it up there for like we were last

1084
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 2: like twenty games or something like that.

1085
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 3: Last year. It wasn't very very long.

1086
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 2: You have to check this out on that about how

1087
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 2: many games it actually was. I think it was like

1088
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 2: twenty games or something, maybe even less. But awesome, awesome, awesome,

1089
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 2: awesome to see this guy back in double A lefty hitter.

1090
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 2: I'm a lefty myself, so I always kind of take

1091
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 2: cadence to lefties.

1092
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 3: Super super cool. This guy was really really acting like

1093
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:32,760
Speaker 3: a true.

1094
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 2: Team mad in spring training, so I kind of asked

1095
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 2: him tonight, like the connections that he made in spring

1096
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 2: training and the fixes that he made.

1097
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 3: Had a great answer to that question. We'll probably have that.

1098
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 2: A little bit later on, but just mostly fixes to

1099
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 2: the lower half is kind of what he said in

1100
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 2: getting back to what worked for him in college.

1101
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 3: So super super cool.

1102
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 2: Another guy I kind of like McCants that we mentioned before,

1103
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 2: that's getting back to what worked for him before, trying

1104
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 2: not to do too much and just just making those

1105
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 2: fixes with the lower half, the hips and the legs

1106
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 2: that will allow him to kind of cover more plate

1107
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 2: and just get we're bad on the ball as you

1108
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 2: can see her here going the opposite field if you're

1109
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 2: watching on YouTube. So super super cool to see him

1110
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 2: get three hits, just kind of be a little bit

1111
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 2: more simple at the play and come up in a

1112
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 2: big spot for the wives tonight, which was really cool.

1113
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 2: As you said, Kevin, super cool guy, super nice, great

1114
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 2: answers tonight, and it's great to see this from from Tanner.

1115
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 3: Tons of time still. I mean, he's twenty five, so

1116
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 3: he's kind of on the older end, a little bit

1117
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 3: on the older end for double A. So maybe the

1118
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 3: Marlins challenge him a bit, Maybe he can get up

1119
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:29,439
Speaker 3: to triple A this year.

1120
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 2: Maybe, you know, if if they really truly need him

1121
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 2: just because he can play, I'm pretty sure at least

1122
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: both corner spots, so the.

1123
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 3: Marlins may need him this year. Maybe not, but I.

1124
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 2: Think this is a guy that may come to next

1125
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 2: spring training with a chance to really impress so super cool.

1126
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,439
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna get a real shot to play

1127
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 2: every day with Pensacola, and even if he gets called

1128
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: up the Triple A, he'll get a regular shot to

1129
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 2: play there as well. So yeah, to see him come

1130
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 2: out immediately and show kind of these fixes that he

1131
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 2: made and he told us about tonight is super awesome.

1132
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 2: And it's great the Marlins getting something a little bit

1133
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 2: more out of that twenty twenty one.

1134
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 3: Draft, which is cool to see. So yeah, great to

1135
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 3: see from Tanner Allen.

1136
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one thing I really liked about Alan was

1137
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: that opposite field power a lot. I mean opposite field hit,

1138
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: but he does it in the nine spot. You know,

1139
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: usually the nine hole guy is really a guy who

1140
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: doesn't hit too much, really just gonna be a more

1141
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: of a slap guy. But Tanner Allen really got to

1142
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: go in and I think little by little we're going

1143
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: to see a bit more from him. But the one

1144
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: thing I think this goes back to what we said

1145
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 1: with Banfield a couple times, is just consistency. But Lloyd

1146
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: was his real first the true first time he had

1147
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 1: shown any sort of offensive production, like positive offensive production.

1148
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: Hoping to see it here with Pensacola, and he has

1149
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: a good chance to do and he's already off to

1150
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: a great start. Let's take a quick look at their roster.

1151
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 2: That's a big spot. That's a big spot. By the way,

1152
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 2: before we get too far up, that's a big spot.

1153
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 2: Tie game basis loaded.

1154
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: I think.

1155
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 3: And he comes up with the two runs single, let's

1156
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 3: go start of the game for sure, and I think

1157
00:48:58,400 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 3: that was the game winning hit.

1158
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,879
Speaker 2: Up being the game winning hit for so cool man

1159
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 2: and glad to see that from Tanner.

1160
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 3: I have hope for him.

1161
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 2: I think that he he could do well even though

1162
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 2: he's on the other side.

1163
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 3: I think he could still do well and have a

1164
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 3: major league sailing.

1165
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: So that's cool. Yep, all right, quick look at the

1166
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: preliminary opening day roster. This ended up being the actual

1167
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: opening day roster. I think the biggest one on the

1168
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: pitching side for me, alex is first of all, jeff Linggren.

1169
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: I think you should be in triple A. No need

1170
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: to have him in double A. Very surprised. I think

1171
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: he started the year in triple A, funny enough, and

1172
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: he demoted him to double A. So that's one that

1173
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: stood out to me. Same thing with your boy Lincoln Hensman,

1174
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 1: who's now in triple who's in Double A. But the

1175
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 1: biggest one of them all, the one actually has some

1176
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: prospect pedigree left is Zach mccambley. Had no need to

1177
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:45,720
Speaker 1: be back.

1178
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 3: In Double A.

1179
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: I thought he was ready to go to Triple A.

1180
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 1: This is a guy who really made a name for himself,

1181
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: not only at Double A when he came back and

1182
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: started being a reliever, but as well in the Arizona

1183
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 1: Fall League. Had a really good impression. So something there

1184
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,320
Speaker 1: to keep an eye out on. Aside from that, everything

1185
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: looks kind of the same. Surprise You're gonna have to

1186
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: correct me to Harrison's phone, go to Hya if so.

1187
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: Very interesting to have that jump so quickly. But maybe

1188
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: at some point they do seem demode. I mean we

1189
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: see that.

1190
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 3: A lot with Double A.

1191
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: They bring a lot of guys onto that roster and

1192
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: then you kind of see some movement. Aside from that,

1193
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: I like every other assigned for the most part. Tough

1194
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: to see Paul Macintosh back in Double A, but again

1195
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: gives them an opportunity to really just play every day

1196
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 1: or split time with Ben and Hostetler.

1197
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Spawn is still there for now, I'm

1198
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 2: not sure if they're gonna send him back. I'm not

1199
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 2: really sure, but I think he's still there for now.

1200
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think you pretty much covered it.

1201
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 2: Another guy that I'm kind of surprised is back in

1202
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 2: double as Bermudez. I think he kind of deserved the

1203
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 2: push to to Triple A as well, with more of

1204
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 2: a room thing than anything else.

1205
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 3: They definitely want these guys to get innings. So where

1206
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 3: are you going to be able to get innings? Right?

1207
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 2: Definitely with Lynd Grain as well, where is he going

1208
00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 2: to be able to get innings?

1209
00:50:58,560 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 3: Do they have guys over him?

1210
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 1: Uh?

1211
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 2: Maybe now with the claim of Gutierres, maybe he gets

1212
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 2: pushed up.

1213
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 3: Who knows.

1214
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 2: Uh, there's there's there's some room to go there. But yeah,

1215
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 2: some of these guys on this, on this roster definitely

1216
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,359
Speaker 2: should be I think up in in Triple A. Even

1217
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 2: Paul Campbell, I think, I mean that guy's made his

1218
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 2: major league deive you, I either he's been out for

1219
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: a while with the suspension, but I think that guy

1220
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 2: could be up in Triple A as well. So, yeah,

1221
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 2: there's there's some moving parts here. I think a lot

1222
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 2: of this will be moving throughout the year. It's just

1223
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 2: the opening day roster. It doesn't mean that it's going

1224
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 2: to be permanent. So yeah, uh, there's definitely going to

1225
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 2: be moving parts here. And we talked about a couple

1226
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,240
Speaker 2: of them. They're going to go up probably pretty quickly

1227
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 2: if Triple A needs help. So Marle, let's call somebody up.

1228
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 2: You're gonna see one of these guys go up.

1229
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 3: So h it's gonna be part of it.

1230
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, overall with this roster pretty much like we expected. Honestly,

1231
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 2: Kevin p Mac being back in Double A sucks, but

1232
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 2: we'll be on field.

1233
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 3: It's gonna catch every day.

1234
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 2: And then he got the other guy that they just

1235
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 2: claimed as well, Parata, so they got him as well,

1236
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 2: So you know.

1237
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 3: There's part of it. It's that's all part of it.

1238
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 3: So it's a numbers game.

1239
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 2: P Mac, I know understands that he said that to

1240
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 2: us in media day that you know, I understand it.

1241
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 3: So and he's happy to be back in Pensacola to

1242
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 3: because I know he likes it there. It's familiar area

1243
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 3: for him. So cool man. It's it's it's really a

1244
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 3: decent roster, not as star studded. I don't think as

1245
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 3: years passed. But I think there's definitely talent on this team.

1246
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 2: But there will be moving parts of the year goes along,

1247
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 2: probably pretty quickly actually too.

1248
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's wrap it up here with Triple at Jacksonville.

1249
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 1: Not too much to get into with this team. They

1250
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: already started their season. Actually they're like a week in,

1251
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 1: but I think it's worth mentioning Tristan gray Man. So

1252
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: we're recording this after the first late of games for

1253
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: every team obviously except Jacksonville. But Tristan gray Man, what

1254
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: a start to this season. This guy has gotten off

1255
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: to alex I mean four straight games with the home

1256
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 1: run hits, another one today and Edward Cober's rehab start.

1257
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: This is a guy who really deserved to make the roster,

1258
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: just like gang My, he really has nothing else to

1259
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 1: prove at this Triple A level. And you know, we'll

1260
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,280
Speaker 1: get into a couple of those guys as well. You know, Dane,

1261
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: you have Tristan gray you have Troy Johnson, all guys

1262
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 1: who just have nothing to prove at this level. But

1263
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: Tristan gray feels like he's if it's not Dane, it's

1264
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 1: him as the number one guy, you'd probably get the

1265
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: call up soon also forty man guy.

1266
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tristan Gray, like you said, lefty hitter who's hitting

1267
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 2: three forty five, three eighty seven eight twenty eight so

1268
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 2: far this year for Jacksonville in seven games.

1269
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 3: I know it's only seven games. I get it.

1270
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 2: Has four home runs in four games, including this one

1271
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,919
Speaker 2: tonight if you're watching on YouTube. Nothing left to prove

1272
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 2: in in Triple A. Neither does Dan Myers, just like

1273
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 2: you said. But like you said, the Marlins are going

1274
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 2: to need help during the season and these guys were

1275
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 2: probably going to be first in line. Skip Schumacher ha

1276
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 2: said that Dane will be first in line. I think

1277
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 2: if they need an infielder that Tristan will be first

1278
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:56,839
Speaker 2: in line. Because, yeah, these guys are are hitting.

1279
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 3: They're hitting immediately. They hit all throughout spring.

1280
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 2: Tristan Gray was hit home runs and spring training with

1281
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 2: the Marlins against the major league stuff. This guy's got nothing

1282
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 2: left to prove, so yeah, I think he had the

1283
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 2: first home run of spring for the Marlins, which just

1284
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 2: and Gray.

1285
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1286
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,839
Speaker 2: Pretty pretty uh, pretty cool to see that they have

1287
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 2: some help there if they need it, and these guys

1288
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 2: deserve their shot. So I don't really have that much

1289
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 2: else to say about Triple A, just that there's guys

1290
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 2: there that are much deserving of their of their chance

1291
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 2: in the major leagues. And we don't even mention Troy,

1292
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 2: but you know how I feel about him as well.

1293
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 2: That's all I'll say about about Triple A pitching a

1294
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 2: little thin. They have some hitting that can help out

1295
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,800
Speaker 2: if they need it. I think they will need it eventually,

1296
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 2: and if they do, they have they have they have

1297
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 2: some guys that they can call on that that are

1298
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 2: much deserving of their shot.

1299
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, Darren mcackin's gotten off to a very

1300
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: nice start recently, had to call up Matt A and

1301
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: juries they called it Manuel as well. Just some guys.

1302
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 1: Vladimir Gutier started the year in Jacksonville, didn't really even

1303
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 1: touch a game, gets called up right away, So you know,

1304
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,439
Speaker 1: it just goes to show that, yuh, right now, Triple

1305
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: A Jacksonville for the Marrs is really just that spot

1306
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: for kind of no no offense quadrupule guys and then

1307
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: the Triple A guys who really do deserve their shot.

1308
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with Jake May he was on

1309
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,720
Speaker 1: that roster to start this season, ends up getting DFA

1310
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: for the Emmanuel Rivera move there, but uh, Carver, anything

1311
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: else to wrap up the show. I think we've we've

1312
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: gone through every single level. H f C, L, DSL

1313
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: is not yet starting. I think those don't start. I

1314
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: want to say May, so we still have a long

1315
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: way to go, or May or June for them, But

1316
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: any other level, any other guy that's worth touching on

1317
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: before you we wrap up?

1318
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 2: No, I think we pretty much. We pretty much called

1319
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 2: it out. You know, FCL, like you said, starting a

1320
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 2: little sooner this year. I think they wrap up like

1321
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 2: just after the draft actually, So it's going to be

1322
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 2: interesting to see how the Marlins, uh, and how every

1323
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,879
Speaker 2: team kind of manages guys that they draft, because there's

1324
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 2: not going to be an FCL to send them to

1325
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 2: anymore really unless it's for a few games maybe. So

1326
00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 2: it's going to be interesting to see with the FCL

1327
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 2: starting up. I think very shortly actually not not very

1328
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 2: long from now that the FCL should be starting. You

1329
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 2: know that that they that they it's a half season

1330
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 2: as we know, so I think it starts at pretty

1331
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 2: shortly here. It runs through August, and there's not gonna

1332
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 2: be anywhere to put draft guys. So it's gonna be

1333
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 2: interesting to see how they manage that as well. On

1334
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 2: the short season level, we'll see how they do with that.

1335
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 2: But we'll talk about that, I'm sure, on a future show.

1336
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 2: But yeah, overall, state of the system I would say

1337
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 2: is middling in my opinion.

1338
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 3: There's guys that they've brought in that I think will

1339
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 3: will do well for them. I like Sasaki, I like

1340
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,439
Speaker 3: John Cruise, I like these longer term guys that they've

1341
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 3: brought in, the guys that can help. Right now, we

1342
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,399
Speaker 3: called out a few, but on the pitching side, it's

1343
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 3: wearing thin, you know. It's It's just a an interesting

1344
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 3: spot for the Marlins to be in. I don't think

1345
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 3: that the major league team really has a true identity

1346
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 3: right now.

1347
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 2: Are they going to compete or are they going to rebuild.

1348
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 2: I think that decision is going to be need to

1349
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 2: be made very quickly. And if they do need to rebuild, well,

1350
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 2: we'll be talking about more guys, I'm sure.

1351
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 3: It at a future date.

1352
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:05,320
Speaker 2: I think they do need to rebuild in my opinion,

1353
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 2: but we'll see what happens with them. But yeah, no,

1354
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 2: a good opening day, a good first game, we got,

1355
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 2: we got many more to go, over one hundred more

1356
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 2: to go, so we'll see what happens at each level

1357
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 2: and then of course the short season as well, so

1358
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 2: we'll continue to talk about minor leaguers. Pleasure to be

1359
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 2: on with you, keV. This was great right at the

1360
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 2: hour mark two, so awesome, really cool show. Our first

1361
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 2: and many we'll be back this year. We're planning to

1362
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 2: do I think weekly Monday articles on the site as well,

1363
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 2: about just to catch up from the week Mondays of

1364
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 2: minor league off day, so we'll probably catch them up

1365
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 2: on the site.

1366
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 3: Me and Kevin will probably split them up, so stay

1367

Speaker 3: tuned for that off phish on first.

1368
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 2: But other than that, I think I think it was

1369
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 2: a good day overall, and I'm excited for what the

1370
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 2: future of twenty twenty four holds for.
