1 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: What's up, guys, Alex Contrez alongside Anthony red Garcia. Welcome 2 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,479 Speaker 1: back to another episode of Marlin's Barbecue. Red, talk to 3 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: me about last night. 4 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: How'd you feel the Marlins played the Braves last night? Guys? 5 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,799 Speaker 3: I'm sure if you're listening to this podcast you watched 6 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 3: the game. It was a heartbreaker, but I think we 7 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,159 Speaker 3: have to remind ourselves a little bit that it just 8 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 3: is an expedition, exhibition game. It's one of those things 9 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 3: that we've seen the story before. You know, Marlins have 10 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 3: a seven to one lead, six to two, seven to three, 11 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 3: and they blow it late in the innings. It's frustrating, 12 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 3: but we saw so much good yesterday and I think 13 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 3: we need to remind ourselves of that. The starters dominated, 14 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 3: and that's what's important because guess what, guys, those the 15 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 3: guys we were going to play. Some of the young 16 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,279 Speaker 3: guys flashed, and that's a guys because guess who's coming 17 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 3: up all that stuff in the middle that's not worried 18 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 3: about it too much. But without further to do, Alex 19 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 3: is jump right in. Tell me what you think and 20 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 3: tell me you know, what did you see last night? 21 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: Well man, first and foremost, I felt like a little 22 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: five year old kid waiting for Christmas. Like literally, I 23 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: was so excited, like the anticipation, I know, not only 24 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: for me, but like many other Marlins fans and baseball 25 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: fans around the world. Man, I know there was a 26 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: lot of joy felt seeing baseball come back to life 27 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: at being said, man, that third inning, the Marlins hit 28 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: back to back to back jacks. Holy cow, Marlin's Twitter 29 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: went crazy. Braves was awfully quiet. And I don't know, man, 30 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: I just though, I just went on Twitter and I 31 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: felt good, and I just started tweeting. I started, you know, saying, 32 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: tweeting the way he's saying, Hey the fish, you're out 33 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: and about baby, And it came back and haunted me. 34 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: You know, the bullpen imploded, just like you were talking 35 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: about the other day. You were worried about it. And 36 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: here we are now, man, talking about a ten to 37 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: nine lost in Atlanta. Man, we just got some bad 38 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: luck in the. 39 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 2: A yeah, man. 40 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 3: And again, like we'll get into the pitching in a 41 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 3: little bit, because I did see stuff last night that 42 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: I've never seen, you know, that I hadn't seen previous 43 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 3: from relievers. So it's a good and a bad thing. 44 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 3: And we'll touch up on some of my pet peeves 45 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 3: that I see. You know, a point of the show, guys, 46 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 3: has always been to not necessarily be statistical base and 47 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 3: more like the eye test, and which is also a 48 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 3: name that I thought we were gonna call the show 49 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 3: at one point, but Martin's barque just fit. So I'll 50 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 3: get into some of that stuff in a little bit. 51 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 3: But first, guys, Alex, I gotta ask who stood out 52 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: to you last night hitting? 53 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 2: Did you like the lineup? 54 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 3: I know Twitter kind of thinks my lineup's better, but 55 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 3: we'll talk about that next week when the boats done. 56 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 3: Did you like the lineup?

I think he 61 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: was checking out Marland's barbecue, be honest, man, and you 62 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: definitely won that pulling the landslide. I was most impressed 63 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: by the guy we were talking about, Jonathan VR. We 64 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: were talking about how does this guy steal a base man? 65 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: And it's all about the bass jumps. Man, he got 66 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: a good jump, a good read, and I'm excited that 67 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: the guy not only stole a base, but he also 68 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: he hit the last home run out of the back 69 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: to back to back. Man, how exciting was that? Man? 70 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: How did you feel ready when you saw those back 71 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: to back to backs And now back to the top 72 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: four VR who sends one deep up to stay and 73 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: CRT runs out of room. 74 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 3: In the morning, there was just feeding my my newborn 75 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 3: baby when it happened, and I told my wife, I 76 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 3: was like, I don't remember that last time I've ever. 77 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 2: I've seen this happen. 78 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: And then somebody tweeted right away that's the first time 79 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,839 Speaker 3: it's ever happen. It doesn't count for the morning's history 80 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 3: books because it doesn't count as a game, but man. 81 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 2: I was I'm impressed. 82 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 3: I mean, last where we I think we were last 83 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 3: in home runs, the last in launch angle, and all 84 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 3: of a sudden, you know, even if it's guys, it's 85 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 3: just a practice game. But still it was against major 86 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,679 Speaker 3: league pitcher pitching. It was against the braves number three starter. 87 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: Don't get that confused. 88 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 3: We weren't facing a minor leaguer. We weren't facing a 89 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 3: guy trying to make this rotation. No, this guy is 90 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 3: gonna be their number three. So and our regulars, by 91 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 3: all accounts, smacked the shit out of the Braves last night. 92 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 3: And that's what I loved. Aggie Aar was the one 93 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 3: that impressed me the most. Man I in spring training, 94 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 3: I was. I even told you episode one, I was like, man, 95 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 3: is this guy even gonna. 96 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: Make the team? 97 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 3: You know, I don't see you know, why not give 98 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 3: the spots to a young guy? 99 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 2: And man, when that guy comes up to. 100 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 3: Bat, he's a force and you could feel it, you know, 101 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 3: and he hits the ball, he smacks it. There's no 102 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 3: I haven't felt that way about somebody coming up since 103 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 3: maybe Stanton. So, man, this lineup is extended a far 104 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 3: hitting eighth. 105 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: Come on, man, yeah, man, I mean, you know, at 106 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: the end of the day, like I feel, the Marlins 107 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: lineup is pretty deaf, It's pretty deep, you know, Like 108 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: you gotta like this team compared to last year's team, 109 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: like the Vets that they brought in this year. Corey Dickerson, 110 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: you know, heyesus aguilar you touch based on him, Like 111 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: people don't talk about this enough, but Hazus Aguilar last season, 112 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: it was twenty nineteen. In the twenty eighteen to twenty 113 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: nineteen season, you wanted to go play winter ball, and 114 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: a lot of these guys like to go play winter 115 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: ball and go back to the home country and do 116 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: it for the home fans. 117 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 2: Right. 118 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Where you started everything in 119 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: your craft, and that takes a lot of energy out 120 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: of you. Like think about it, here's one hundred and 121 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: sixty two game season. Then you go to Venezuela or 122 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: wherever you go to play the Winner League and you 123 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: play the game certain of games there where it's forty, 124 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: whether it's sixty. You know it might be less, but 125 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: you still you're involved to travel and all that, and 126 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: that drains you. And that affected Hazus agui Lar in 127 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen season. That's why he put such low numbers. 128 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 1: When we saw him at the beginning of spring training, 129 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: one point, no man, I was very excited because this 130 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: guy he shed some pounds.

And she's like, 202 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 3: are they all lefty? And I was like, I was like, 203 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 3: I guess. Like the three of the four that we 204 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 3: saw last night hit from the left side. You know, 205 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 3: Chisholm had in that bad I believe he struck out. 206 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 3: Sanchez hit that bomb doing Dias, I believe struck out 207 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 3: as well. In the ninth Harrison hit a shot right back. 208 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 2: To the picture. 209 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 3: It was one of those do or die for the 210 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 3: picture and he got it. But don't don't be mistake it. 211 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 3: He got all of it. 212 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 2: But besides that, man, any final thoughts on the hitters. 213 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: Man, I'm just excited that we had one, two, three, four, 214 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: four multi hit games. You know, the Yard had a 215 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: multi He had three hits. Agg Yard had two. Bro 216 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: has had a couple, Alfaro had a couple. Like man, 217 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: like I'm telling you, Bro, we're talking about Alfaro telling 218 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: we were talking about Alfaro and Anderson Perennial All Stars 219 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: at during the CUSP like this is great because you 220 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: talked about Yeah, Alfaro's batting eighth. Ideally, like in my lineup, 221 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: I would have had him higher. But dude, if it's 222 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: not broke, don't fix it. If he's gonna bad two 223 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: eighty six, he's gonna be higher, batting higher. He's gonna 224 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: be batting like comfortable. He feels no pressure down there, 225 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: and so be it, dude. Some guys, it's like a 226 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: mental thing. I'm not saying that this is the situation 227 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: with al Farrow. I'm just saying some guys have a 228 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: mental chip in their head that they can't get it 229 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: to click because they have too much pressure that they're 230 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: the number four hitter or then the number three. Like 231 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: for me, when I used to play baseball, I couldn't 232 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: like I used to be like off the chain, good 233 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: batter when I was the number two hitter or the 234 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: number five hitter. Like if they moved me anywhere else, 235 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: I would like get out of my element. I'd be 236 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 1: trying to do too much. So like sometimes it's just 237 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: a matter of finding that comfort zone and like the 238 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: manager seeing it and like if this is it right now, 239 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: so be it, man, Let's do it. Let's see horror, 240 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,599 Speaker 1: Helfall will really turn it up. I don't know what 241 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: they're gonna do to hold them down in the future, though, 242 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: but it's. 243 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: Keeping the final thoughts on the hitters. Just a quick 244 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 2: thing I just saw here. 245 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 3: I don't know if this is correct, but the Martins 246 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 3: left seventeen people on base last night. 247 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 2: Now it wasn't for lack of trying. 248 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 3: We did have fourteen hits and three solo home runs, 249 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 3: but seventeen people left on basis. Still, I mean, guys 250 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 3: got on and you didn't see that last year. Guys, 251 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 3: you didn't see people getting on base. You didn't see 252 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 3: you know. I mean Anderson by himself left four people 253 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 3: on base. You know that's not gonna happen once he 254 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 3: gets going. You could tell he was frustrated last night. 255 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 3: He had ah, he was all over a pitch he 256 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 3: missed it. I think he grounded out to third and 257 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 3: walking back to the dougout he was. He told somebody 258 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 3: doug out like like, I don't know how I missed that. 259 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 3: So he's he's all right, guys, He'll figure it out. 260 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 3: Next to pictures Urania win three innings, two hits, no 261 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 3: one runs, two base on balls on one strikeout. I 262 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 3: think this is probably the ceiling for your in. You know, 263 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 3: this is the guy that's you know, Jacqueline Clyde. You know, 264 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 3: it's either this or you know, seven seven runs in 265 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 3: an inning. So I think he did great. What do 266 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 3: you see out of the starter? I mean, and tell 267 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 3: me a little bit about the Acuna pitch that got away? 268 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: Oh? Man, how how like I was? I was super 269 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: amped up to see Jose. He looked like he was 270 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: mid season form. Uh A couple of notes on Jose. 271 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: He changed up his his pitching mechanics a little bit. 272 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: He's not going from the full wind up now, he's 273 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: just pitching from the stretch. He's going with the foe. 274 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: That four seamen is straight, gassy, throwing ninety six ninety 275 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: seven like he was just downing it up. Man, he 276 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: had some good location. The umpire squeezed him a couple 277 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: of times on the on the on the walk. That 278 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 1: walk they gave a couna. They squeezed him because it 279 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: was a pitch before a couple of pitches before. Uh 280 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: Oreanya made a hell of a pitcher's pitch on the 281 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: outside corner of fastball on the blue. Didn't give it 282 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: to him, So, uh, he got squeezed, but hey, that's 283 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: part of the ball game. I loved what I saw 284 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: out of him, and and the best is just to come. 285 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: Like he's really the bulldog of this rotation. Even though 286 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: he didn't get the opening day nod, Sandy earned it. 287 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: Jose is a great number three hitter, like he's he's 288 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: he's been a great leader for this rotation for the 289 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: young guys. I mean, he's really the oldest cat in 290 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: the rotation, and he got to the point where he 291 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: was like, all right, now it's my turn to really 292 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: like show the next generation. And he's not even the 293 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: older guy like that. He's he's what a couple of 294 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: years older than the rest of the guys. So I 295 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 1: really like how he continues to blossom as a as 296 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: a pitcher, and like it's so funny how he's he's 297 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: grown like like he's, uh, he's much more bulkier now 298 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: than he was when we first saw him. Like when 299 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: he was when he made his debut in the Dodgers 300 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: B he was like a skinny Quampierre looking guy and 301 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: now he's like brolic like whoa. 302 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and his hair is longer. The wolfend looked at 303 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 2: last night. 304 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 3: By all accounts, guys, you know, Jimmy did his thing, 305 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 3: Kinsler did his thing, Brigham gave up a home run. 306 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 3: But man, I mean, but man like his stuff's electric. 307 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 3: This is actually the first time I ever seen Nither pitch. 308 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 3: I know he's a top prospect, but I just don't 309 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 3: go around to looking at you know, do. 310 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: You think about his wind up? 311 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 2: I liked the little twitch. 312 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: I liked that little deceptive. It's hard to pick up. 313 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: Like last second I noticed and something going. 314 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 3: This is going to throw into the comedy conversation. But 315 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: Neither and Connie Nither threw slower than Kanye. I believe 316 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 3: Neither was sitting aund ninety two where Conye was sitting 317 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 3: around ninety five, and neither was throwing the ball by 318 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 3: people and they couldn't. It was the most uncomfortable at 319 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 3: bats yet Connie, who's throwing harder, you know, he can't 320 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 3: fool anybody. And that goes back back to the secondary pitches. 321 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 3: You know, Douger had this issue too, and so the 322 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 3: Conye where they can't. They're not throwing the ball pass anybody. 323 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 3: Their secondary stuff wasn't working, and people are just sitting fastball, 324 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 3: and you throw a fastball down the middle to any 325 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 3: major leaguer, he's gonna hit it four hundred feet. So 326 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: now to Connley, we talked about this in previous episodes. 327 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 3: I just don't see a situation where he is around 328 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 3: much longer, especially guys like Vessia, who pitched last night. 329 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 3: He Vesia was that was also the first time I've 330 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 3: seen him pitch. I know you, I believe you said 331 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 3: he was gonna be your Rookie of the Year. 332 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: He's a candidate for sure. 333 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 3: Right, especially with him, and then you got your lefties already, 334 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 3: you got uh right, Vesia and then Kinseller actually pitches 335 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 3: great against lefties, so you have that those guys. How 336 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 3: do you put in a guy like Conny, I mean 337 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 3: in a regular game, guys, he would never have stayed 338 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 3: out there that long, but you still let him stay 339 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 3: out there. I believe Don was thinking, you know, Madamie 340 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 3: was saying, let's see if. 341 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 2: He could work his way out of this. Let's see 342 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 2: if he could work out of trouble. 343 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 3: But if you can't, put in Conley to face two 344 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 3: lefties in a row, and with one out face the 345 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 3: two lefties that are coming up. Yeah, there's runners on base, 346 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 3: but you're out of the bullpen. Chances are that, so 347 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 3: you're gonna that's the situation you're gonna come into. And 348 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 3: he can't get any of those lefties out, and not 349 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 3: only that, he walks them both. You know that can't happen. 350 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: Man. 351 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 2: Like we've said a million times, this is a sprint. 352 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 3: This isn't a marathon, This isn't a let's get hot, No, 353 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 3: this is you gotta come out hot. And losing a 354 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 3: game last night like that because one guy couldn't do 355 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 3: his job. That's not going to cut it this season. 356 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 3: That's my thoughts on that and another thing too. 357 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 2: You know, I'm more of the eye test type of guy. 358 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 2: Like I said, Conley. 359 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 3: Used to have something where he used to go at 360 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 3: the hitters. Now it looks like he's trying to pitch 361 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 3: around everybody. It's almost like that scene in your league 362 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 3: where they're like, you used to go out there and 363 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 3: just let it rip, and now you're now you're trying 364 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 3: to like hit the corners and stuff that doesn't work. 365 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 3: You know, I'm not saying Connie's secondary stuff is bad, 366 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 3: but it wasn't working. And yet he's then he decides, Hey, 367 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 3: let's just throw fast balls down the middle. I believe 368 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,959 Speaker 3: he had an old two count and he threw a 369 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 3: meatball right down the middle of ninety six miles per 370 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 3: hour and it was destroyed. So that's my thoughts on Connie. 371 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 3: I don't think he's here for the long haul. I 372 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 3: don't think he makes the team past Friday. 373 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: What do you think? And I mean, I don't know. 374 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: I didn't like what I saw last night, man, just 375 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 1: looking at it, I feel I feel a little bit 376 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: sad because Adam Conley has been part of this original 377 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 1: Marlins core that we were talking about on last episode, 378 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: involve with like Mickey Row and ba Urania, and a 379 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: lot of people forget that this was a guy that 380 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: had so much high potential, such such a high ceiling. 381 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: We talked about that no here he took deep into Milwaukee, 382 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: and we talk about people don't talk about when Jose 383 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: Fernandez passed away, that this was the guy that took 384 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: the ball. And then that night something will clicked in 385 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: him too, and he I feel like he did a 386 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: great job pitching. But I don't know, man, I just 387 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: feel like we just lost them somewhere along the way. 388 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: And sometimes like these are great guys that you wish 389 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: them best, and sometimes what they need is a change 390 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: of scenery, you know, like you don't want him to 391 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: be like, hey, he's not going to be a major 392 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: leaguer now. You know, maybe it's not working here in Miami. 393 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: Maybe we should we flip them somewhere and we send 394 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: them out to you know, Seattle or somewhere in the 395 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: West Coast or the central and you know, somewhere close 396 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: to home, and maybe that'll be more fitting for him. 397 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 2: Uh right. 398 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 3: I agree with you, and I understand the emotional connection. 399 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 3: I do, But at the same time, emotional connections is 400 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 3: with God in the morning's in trouble in the past. 401 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 3: You know, when we gave prod of that contract right 402 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 3: after Jose died, there's no way prod. I mean, he 403 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 3: was playing better back then and then he got hurt 404 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 3: all the injuries. But you know, those type of emotional 405 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 3: decisions are usually what lead to slowing down the team's progress. 406 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 3: I rather see somebody. I'd rather see Dougger, who by 407 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 3: all accounts got destroyed last night too. I rather see 408 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 3: him have that spot than Conley, because at least we've 409 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 3: never seen Dugger. You know to an extended point, Conley, 410 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 3: it's more of the same from last year. He's lost 411 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 3: whatever it was that he had. I hope him the best, 412 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 3: but I, like you said, I think it's time in 413 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 3: Miami's done, and I think he needs a change of scenery. 414 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 2: Would we be able to trade him, Probably not. 415 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 3: We probably have to release him from the sixty man, 416 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 3: he'd have to clear waivers. Would someone claim him, I 417 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 3: don't think. 418 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 1: I think so. I think somebody rolled the dice, Like 419 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you could. 420 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 3: Have made maybe someone who needs a lefty, maybe you know, 421 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 3: roll the dice. 422 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 2: See what happens. But remember then they got to add 423 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 2: him to the sixty. 424 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 3: They have to remove somebody. So this season's interesting. This 425 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 3: season is weird with all these the types of moves 426 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 3: you could do. 427 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: Are we jumping as fans? Are we jumping the trigger? 428 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: It's just gonna be like it's gonna be an emotional 429 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: roller coaster the whole season. Huh. It's gonna be like, 430 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: we're gonna praise the guys that did good and the 431 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: guys that didn't show out the day of We're you're 432 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: just gonna kill him the next day? 433 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 2: Is that? 434 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: How is that? What? Twitter? Is that how it's I. 435 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 3: Think with the sprint, Michael Hook coming out saying why 436 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 3: not us got everybody pumped? Man, you saw Marlin's twitter 437 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 3: last night and when we were winning. Bro, that's the 438 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 3: Marlins twitter that's been dormant for so long, you know, 439 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 3: and with all like with respect to Connley, it's not 440 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 3: like this is his first outing, you know, his spring 441 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 3: I'm not sure it was good. It wasn't great, but 442 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 3: it was okay. But last year was the same thing. 443 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 3: I'm surprised we didn't see second Rider last night. Is 444 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 3: he healthy? Is he pitching? We'll probably see him tonight. 445 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 3: Boksburger came out and did good and. 446 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 2: VESSI, what are your thoughts on Vesta's out? 447 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: Hey, man, Vessia finally gave up a run after so 448 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: many innings. I think he had like over forty innings together, 449 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: had included like independent balls, single A and minor leagues 450 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: and now spring training. Ultimately those SATs aren't going to 451 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: count for him. But you know, like you can't get 452 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: mad at the boy like he was eventually going to 453 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: give up a run. It just so happened to be 454 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 1: that it happened on this night where we imploded, you know, 455 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: Doug Connelly imploded, and you know Vezia had to take 456 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: the l at the end of the day. But I'm 457 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: not worried about it. Man, It's an exhibition games, the 458 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: first game back after almost what three four months locked 459 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: up at the house not doing anything and just warming 460 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: up training by themselves. I'm actually very content that these 461 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: guys man, that they looked like they were fit, like 462 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: they like what I said about a Rena, he was 463 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: mid season four. And to go back to the question 464 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: that I forgot to answer about the pitch of the 465 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: pitch to Acuna, how did I feel about it? I mean, 466 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: it's it's only fitting. It's so funny, like it was 467 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,239 Speaker 1: a breaking pitch. You saw Counya's reaction. He was cracking up, 468 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, Like Acuna like the 469 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: fans would have killed the red yet they would have 470 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: his ass out. But but it was just fun like 471 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: to see that the guys like the body nang whage. 472 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: You saw the body language between them like you know, 473 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: it's friendly and you know, like no harm, no foul. 474 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 3: So yeah, and Urania did say he said something like 475 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 3: when right after the bat and Akunya laughed so guys. 476 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 3: Most of these guys are friends off the field. I'm 477 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 3: sure I'm not saying Uranian and Aune your best friends, 478 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 3: but I'm sure they reached He reached out to him 479 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 3: and said, brother, I didn't do it on purpose, like 480 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 3: my bad. 481 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 2: But yeah. 482 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 3: And going back to Vesia, the home run he gave up, 483 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 3: it was against a professional hitter. 484 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: Another chance for mad Adams against a lefty. And I 485 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 1: remember when he was slugging all those home runs like that, 486 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: driven deep to right field and mad Adams walks us off. 487 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 2: There you go. 488 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 3: You know that guy's been doing that to everybody for 489 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 3: a long time. Man, let me tell you, I like Vesia. 490 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 3: He's twitchy, He's like he's hyper on the mound, and 491 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 3: I love that. I think that he let that get 492 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 3: away from him a little bit because he was going 493 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 3: right after guys. I think he threw someone three straight 494 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 3: fastballs and they didn't touch him. And then finally in 495 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 3: the against Adams, you know, he threw one too many fastballs. 496 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 2: And I got crushed. 497 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: But and he still got a one point three five 498 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: e all right at the end of the day. 499 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 3: I'm that was just you could tell he just even 500 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 3: like once the balls hit. He even said to himself, like, 501 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 3: damn it. Like, but besides that, you know, there wasn't 502 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 3: too much Besides Conley and Dougart, the bullpen looked fantastic. 503 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 3: There wasn't too much to complain about. I actually am 504 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 3: impressed by Jimmy. He went out there and he was like, 505 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 3: this is mia INNI. I would love to see him 506 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 3: in the eighth cans in the ninth, you get the 507 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 3: battle eighth the ninth and we're. 508 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 2: Looking We're looking pretty good, guys. 509 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,719 Speaker 1: Shout out to Don Mattingly. Dom Madley made that Jimmy, 510 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: that Jimmy Garcia signing happened, and he voiced, he voiced, 511 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: he voiced his expression and said, hey, Jimmy, like, I 512 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: got confidence in the guy. Let's bring him to Miami 513 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: and look at him. Broa, Like if you get that 514 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: confidence into a player, broll, I can't even tell you, 515 00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: Like that's clutch. 516 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 2: Right yeah, and just hey, this is my guy, Let's 517 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 2: go get them. That's for Jimmy. That's huge. And I 518 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 2: think Jimmy could be here for a while too. All right. 519 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 2: Alex's final game thoughts. 520 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 1: Final game thoughts, Man, I'm excited. I loved how the 521 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,479 Speaker 1: offense came out swinging. We connected for fourteen hits. At 522 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: the end of the day we were four for thirteen 523 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: with runners in scoring position. But yeah, there was a 524 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: lot of excitement and it ended up frustrating because we 525 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: blew it in the eighth. But hey, today is clean slate, baby, 526 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: don't worry about it. Remember, these guys are making tweaks. 527 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: Little stumbles are gonna happen, and you want those stumbles 528 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: to happen right now in the exhibition games that don't matter. 529 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: I remember the Miami Marlins are not going to go 530 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: sixty and oh, but they are going to go and 531 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: be competitive. And these are gonna be a lot of 532 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: fun games in this season. Man, and I can't wait 533 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,479 Speaker 1: for Exhibition two. 534 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, my final game thoughts have to do with the 535 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 3: young guys. And this might be the the old you know, 536 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 3: baseball approaching me. But some of these guys that I 537 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 3: some stuff I saw on the field yesterday. 538 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 2: And this goes on to this might be a little 539 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 2: bit of a rant about Sierra. Man. I understand he's 540 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 2: out of options. 541 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 3: I understand speed whatever, But yesterday that ball I was 542 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 3: hitting the gap. If your thing is speed, how do 543 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 3: you not cut off that ball. He ran a horrible 544 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 3: angle to it. The commentators said it immediately after it happened. 545 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 3: And then when he goes to throw it in, he 546 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 3: misses his cutoff and Jazz has to try to make 547 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 3: an acrobatic play. You know, you're trying to make a team. 548 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 3: You're you took a spot away technically from Harrison. I 549 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 3: understand that Harrison, they want him to hit every day. 550 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 3: I get it. They don't want him to be the 551 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 3: fourth outfielder. But at the end of the day, man, 552 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 3: you're a professional athlete and you're trying to make a team. 553 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 3: You have improved anything to anyone, and yet you're gonna 554 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 3: run the wrong You know you're gonna run a horrible 555 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 3: route to a ball, then you're not gonna hit your 556 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 3: cut off, man, and then you're gonna strike out looking 557 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:09,199 Speaker 3: to end any I'm over the Sierra train too. I 558 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,239 Speaker 3: prefer that's part go to someone else, even if it's 559 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 3: a vet. I don't care. I understand the Harrison thing, 560 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 3: but come on, man, your professional go out there and 561 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 3: perform like a profession I just. 562 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: Feel like I feel your rent. But why was he 563 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: out there in left field? He should have been out 564 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: there in center. To be honest with you, like it's 565 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: harder for him, Like, yeah, he took a bad route. 566 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: But I feel like maybe like not a left handed outfielder, 567 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: maybe a right handed Like if you'd have just had 568 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: maybe Monte there, you swapped them. I think Monte would 569 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 1: have made the play, like you know what I mean 570 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: with the bounce. 571 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 2: But he he would have ran the right right path, 572 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 2: you know. 573 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, But well, man, it's his first game. Let's not 574 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Let's let's give Magnarius some time. Uh, 575 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna get it. Maybe he'll steal a couple of 576 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: bases and get your attention. 577 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 3: We'll see, we'll see, all right, guys, before we wrap 578 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 3: this up, tonight's game, what's actually a few hours by 579 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 3: the time you listen to this four pm start, we're 580 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 3: back in Atlanta, Marlins and Braves. We got Nopez on 581 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 3: the bump versus right, what do you want to see 582 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 3: from Nopez and what do you want to see from 583 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 3: the team tonight? 584 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: I want Pablo to finish his little tune up. He Uh, 585 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: last time I saw my at Marlin's Park, he looked 586 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: pretty much ready to go. You know, he's gonna be 587 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: working on location, location, location, because that's what every picture does, 588 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: all right. It's not about being a throw it's about 589 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: being a pitcher. And Pablo Lopez is figuring it out. 590 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: He's finally figuring out the major league level. I'm excited 591 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: because the Atlanta Braves. You know, we're gonna take this 592 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: game from them, and we're gonna move on to Philadelphia. 593 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: We're one game closer to COVID season starting, man and 594 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: exhibitions out the door, and spring training two point zero 595 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: is over, Summer camp is over, and we're gonna see 596 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: our boys play.
