1
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another exciting episode of earning their stripes.

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: As always, Danny Ian and Ethan here to liven up

3
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: your day. We also have a special guest for you

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: as Esan Diaz will be calling in in just a

5
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: few but before that, the Fellaws and I will discuss

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: Jordan Yamamoto getting promoted. We're gonna take a look some

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: of the trending prospects within the system and just have

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: a good conversation. Because the AMS is pitching while we're

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: recording this, so if you get any emotion, that's where

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: it's coming from.

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: I'm excited to get Esan. Fellows, how are you doing?

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 3: Good? Man? Doing pretty great man, Glad to be here

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 3: with you, guys night.

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is gonna be fun. I mean it could

15
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 2: go really well, it could come Yeah.

16
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: It was like if we had done if it was

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: like if we had done an episode during the draft,

18
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 3: like right, it could have either.

19
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 4: Gone really well or really poorly.

20
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, the draft, cool stuff.

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: So far.

22
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: Awhere he went eight pitch inning in the first it

23
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: was okay, you know, good stuff. Let's just even jump

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: into that conversation.

25
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: Right.

26
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: If you're listening and you're a Marm's fan by now

27
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, Jordan Yamamoto got promoted right straight from Jacksonville.

28
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: He's making a start today in place of Jose Urinia

29
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: that was put on the ten day IL for a

30
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: myriad of reasons. We'll see which one really comes out

31
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: is true and which one doesn't. But there's a lot

32
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: of places we can go with this. Whether we think

33
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: this is premature, whether it's because of the forty man

34
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: roster construction, which you know I'll hit on, whether we

35
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: think it's a spot starter. Could it be a Pablo

36
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: Lopez situation. But I'll let Ethan go and take it

37
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: wherever you want.

38
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: Brother. As we see yams finally make that debut.

39
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, first of all, I just want to send,

40
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: you know, congratulations again out to Jordan. This is such

41
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: a huge moment for him and his family, and it's

42
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: always exciting to see guys get their first shot in

43
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: the BIGS. So I just want to send congratulations out

44
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 3: to him, a former earning their Stripes alumni, but.

45
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: The first one to get the call, I love it.

46
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: The first one to get the call. Yeah, that was

47
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: one of the first things I thought about was how exciting.

48
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: So it's just so cool to see him you know,

49
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: instead of just his name popping up on a box score,

50
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: see him actually live and pitching, and so that's really cool.

51
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: But I think what you're looking at here, and I

52
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: tweeted out yesterday is basically one of two things, and

53
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: I guess one of them now is not happening because

54
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 3: Raina is going on the ile. He's not being traded.

55
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 3: So it's either the Marlins are more concerned with Caleb

56
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: Smith's injury than they originally thought, and so he's gonna

57
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: come in and fill the role, and then Eliezer's gonna

58
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: move to the pen. But it also seems like it's

59
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: not that because of Urina's going to the Ale. So

60
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: what it is is Urina going to the Ale. And

61
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: then I think it was Louis Davila who said this

62
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 3: that Gallen wasn't ready to make the start now, so

63
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 3: Yams makes the spot this start while we need him.

64
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 3: Could he last longer, yes, could Gallon come up maybe?

65
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 3: But what it seems like is, like you talked about

66
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: Danny with the forty construction, it seems like this isn't

67
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: serious enough for them to make a forty man move.

68
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 3: And you know, either put somebody on the sixty day

69
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 3: or make a move somewhere else on the forty man

70
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: to the point where they would be able to ask

71
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: Gallen to the forty man to bring him up. So

72
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: because of that, I can see Yams lasting more than

73
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 3: just one start in the majors. It all obviously depends

74
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 3: on how long Uranya is out, how long Ian, I'm

75
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: looking at your name on my computer. Ian. I don't

76
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: know why I said Ian, how long Caleb is out?

77
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm it's just exciting for Jordan, And you know,

78
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: it was a little random, but he is the most

79
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: ready guy. You know, when you look at the forty

80
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: man and the guys that are in the minors, he's

81
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 3: probably the most MLB ready. And because of that, he's

82
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: the guy gets the call over Gallon right now, because

83
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: to Marlins still just don't seem willing to be making

84
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: that forty man move to bring Gallon up.

85
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's just a couple of things there with that

86
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: forty men and with the Gallon. So you touched on

87
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: it to answer the conversation of why, at least I

88
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: think it's just not it was not Zach Gallen, right,

89
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: the individual who's the skeptic or the conspiracy theory, so say, well,

90
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: it's service time manipulation.

91
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: Whatever the case is. What I see is.

92
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: Zach Gallen again, was on two days rest. He wasn't

93
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: gonna come up and have this spot start. Zach Gallen,

94
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, not on the forty man roster, which

95
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: I means someone has to lose their position on that

96
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: roster for Zach Gallen to come on up.

97
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: Now.

98
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: Do I think that we could see Zach Gallon maybe

99
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: next week? If Smith's and Urania's injuries are a little

100
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: bit more serious than they've been led on to be,

101
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: you might really have the completion of the baby faced

102
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: Aces if they were to call up Zach Gallen, even

103
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: though it's possible Eliser Hernandez might just stay in that role.

104
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: He played very pitch, very good yesterday, by the way,

105
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: so it's not just like we can't just throw him

106
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: to the pen right away. But it will be interesting

107
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: to see how they handle this.

108
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: Ian. What are your thoughts.

109
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 5: I've had some mixed thoughts on this whole situation the

110
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 5: last day and a half, but overall I'm pretty excited

111
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 5: about it. I mean, obviously I'm extremely excited for Jordan.

112
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 5: He was one of my first interviews working for Fish Stripes,

113
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 5: So I'm really excited to see him make it to

114
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 5: the show at this time. I mean, it was surprising

115
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 5: to see it, but I'm so stoked it happened. But

116
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 5: the reason I'm indifferent behind it is how they're going

117
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 5: to use them in this role. As you guys both

118
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 5: touched on, there is some injuries and they're not serious

119
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 5: enough to make a move for the forty man, and

120
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 5: he was on the forty man roster already, so it

121
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 5: was an easy move. But if it's just one start

122
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 5: and sending him back down, I didn't I don't see

123
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 5: the need for it right now.

124
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: Today could have been a bullput game.

125
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 5: Or Ellie I or or so or so forth with

126
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 5: Jeff Brickham starting, I would imagine, But that was just

127
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 5: my thoughts. But granted, if we see Jordan for the

128
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 5: next two or three stars, I'm stoked for it. I mean,

129
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 5: the kids got the stuff to play. I mean, he's

130
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 5: looked good in Double A the last two years. He

131
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 5: dominated early and he's just suddenly gotten better as the

132
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 5: years went on. So I'm happy to see him pitch.

133
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 5: I'm gonna see how this plays out overall. The next

134
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 5: week or two. But right now I'm pretty happy about it.

135
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Danny, like you said, sorry, like you said,

136
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 3: you know, with the Pablo thing last year, this could

137
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 3: be very similar because if he does end up making

138
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: two or three more starts, and those starts look really

139
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: good like Pablo's first few starts did, then all of

140
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: a sudden, you know, we've all talked about all year

141
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 3: how Urania and Smith could be trade pieces. So if

142
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: one of those guys comes back, we could be looking

143
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 3: at the Marlins making a move here quickly to open

144
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: up you know, another bullpen uh sorry, a rotation spot

145
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 3: four Yams or for Gallon eventually. So it could be

146
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: a Pablo like thing. But I'm just glad it's not

147
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: just Bulkan hell, which I think was one of the

148
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: things that we all feared right away, was just getting

149
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 3: somebody up from them.

150
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

151
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not a bullpen arm. I don't think Yams

152
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: plays as a bullpen arm down the road. I think

153
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: he lines up as a starter in this organization down

154
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: the road. So because of that, I'm glad that they

155
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: didn't call him up just to get some extra help

156
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: in the bullpen. And I don't think it's just one start,

157
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: because like the eraneous thing, we don't know and the

158
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: Smith thing I saw recently that there's no timetable for

159
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,119
Speaker 3: his return, which means that it could last a little

160
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 3: longer than we initially thought.

161
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think to touch on something that Ian said,

162
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: like the draft Brigham, we spoke about that if it

163
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: was going to be a one spot start, they could

164
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: have gone Brigham, they could have gone Chen and that

165
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: would have made up the five innings that we would

166
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: be happy to get from Yamamoto today. So that speaks

167
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: to it possibly being a little bit more. And then

168
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: I'll agree with what you said Ethan. When it first

169
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: originally came out and we did not know what the

170
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: corresponding move was, I said, this would be really interesting

171
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: if it was off of a trade, right, if jose

172
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: Urania had been traded, which is something we've discussed before

173
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: possibly happening this year, it would be really interesting. Then

174
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: I said, it would be somewhat interesting if this was

175
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: for a one start to start kind of a thing.

176
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: And then I said, but I would hate it if

177
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: it's to go to the pen. So I'm with you

178
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: on that. This isn't an arm that you bring up,

179
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: especially not from Jacksonville and put in the pen. And

180
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: they didn't do that. So I guess, you know, we

181
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: can't really grow them too much for not doing that.

182
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: But I do agree.

183
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: I think we were all a little a little surprised maybe,

184
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: or not even surprise. We just I didn't think I

185
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: was going to see Yams this early on. I'm happy

186
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: for it, but I didn't think I would see it

187
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: this early on. I wonder if either of you two

188
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: kind of disagree with that.

189
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 3: I also didn't think we would see Pablo this early,

190
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: you know, as early as we did last year, right,

191
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 3: we saw him around maybe like a month later than

192
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 3: this last year. I think I came up sometime in July, right,

193
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 3: So we didn't expect to see him at this time

194
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: last year, and we didn't. Definitely, you know, the Jordan

195
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 3: Yamamota thing caught me off guard, but it does make

196
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 3: sense when you, like I said, when you look at

197
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: the Rochster construction. Now, obviously the skeptic, you know, the

198
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 3: skeptic thing to say is he's having a good year,

199
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: but Gallen's having a much better year. And and yes, Gallen,

200
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 3: I believe it. I know you guys believe it too.

201
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: That Gallon should be up and the only reason he's

202
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: not up, and we all know that is because there's

203
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 3: not a rotation spot and there's not a forty spot

204
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: up for him right now. But I think that's actually

205
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 3: kind of good because I would rather Yams make two

206
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: or three spots starts than Gallen because it's just easier

207
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 3: because we because we didn't expect Yams to, you know,

208
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: be here already. We expect Gallen to be here. So

209
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 3: if if we call him up for two or three

210
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 3: starts and then send him right back down, everybody will

211
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 3: be mad. But at this point, if we do Yams

212
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 3: for two or three starts, even if it really, you know,

213
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: he succeeds, I think people will understand him going back

214
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 3: down more than they would Gallon. So there, you know,

215
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 3: obviously right away it was well, Yam's not Gallon. But

216
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: I think when you kind of break it down like

217
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 3: it does make a lot of sense.

218
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 2: I agree.

219
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: And I appreciate that perspective too, that if they would

220
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: have brought up Gallon and then there's an issue there,

221
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: you know, then it's, oh, we're just manipulating service time

222
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: or whatever the case is.

223
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: But this is he's like you said.

224
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: Already on the forty easy to send back down if

225
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: it is just for a few starts, all right, So

226
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: then we could keep talking on that. Is there anything

227
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: more that you guys want to uncover with with the

228
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: Yams conversation.

229
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: I think we just really got to see how it

230
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 3: plays out the next week or two. So it's an

231
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 3: exciting week. I mean, I think we've hit on all points.

232
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 5: Like you said, even that last point really made a

233
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 5: lot of sense, and it speaks to what a lot

234
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 5: of people aren't thinking at this time right now. If

235
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 5: we did bring up Gallen and send him back down

236
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 5: two stars, people would be a lot more upset. And

237
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 5: it's just it's a very it's a very tricky and

238
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 5: difficult situation right now with these guys that are playing

239
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 5: well on the miners and getting moved up and not

240
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 5: with Gallen. It's just it's really hard to look at that.

241
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 5: But I think when he does come up, it'll be

242
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 5: sometime soon before the end of the next month and.

243
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 3: He'll be here for good. Yeah, And I think we

244
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 3: have to get Gallon into a permanent rotation spot, like

245
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 3: we've all We've said, miss said it all along that

246
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 3: Gallant isn't coming up until one of these two guys,

247
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 3: Smith or Urania is gone, and so we just, you know,

248
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: should they be gone, that's a topic for another time,

249
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 3: but we have to be patient and we have to

250
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: wait until these guys are no longer on the forty?

251
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 3: Could there is there another forty move that could be

252
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 3: made for Gallant? Absolutely I wouldn't mind that being made

253
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 3: at all. But where does he slot into the rotation

254
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 3: right now? I'm not sure. The only place he could

255
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 3: is if you move Eliezer to the bullpen, but then

256
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 3: he's still only in Urano or a Smith's spot and

257
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 3: just waiting until one of them comes back. So I

258
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 3: don't know. You know, there's so many, so many factors

259
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 3: here that it's a tough decision. You know, you're never

260
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: going to be one hundred percent right whichever decision you make.

261
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yams, I mean Gallin rather, there has to be

262
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: a vacancy in that rotation for him to come up.

263
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 3: I agree.

264
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: It has to be something where he could come up

265
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: and not look back, and that's you know, that's that's

266
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: his spot moving forward.

267
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: I actually do have one baseball question.

268
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: I'm going to start off with Ian, but I'd like

269
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: both of y'all's perspective on this. When a prospect gets

270
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: called up, we're always looking for something in their craft,

271
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: right of how it generalizes or how it plays up

272
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: at the big league level. For instance, with Sandy, it's

273
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: always going to be about the control of his velo

274
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: and his secondaries. You know, what is it that we

275
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: might be looking at with Yams that we want to

276
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: see if it generalizes over to the big leagues.

277
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: And I'll let Ian go first.

278
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 5: Just the main thing of his pitches. The kid can

279
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 5: throw four pitches for strikes all game long. He works

280
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 5: at a high tempo, and it's just I want to

281
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 5: see if he can bring this into he excuse me.

282
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 5: The one thing I really really want to see Jordan

283
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 5: do is work out of trouble. It's what he's done

284
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 5: his whole career is unfortunately get himself into trouble but

285
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 5: somehow makes his way out of it. Every time that

286
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 5: I've seen it, seen him live, and it's it's been

287
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 5: a sight to see. He's throwing greats. He's got his

288
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 5: first strikeout at night right now as I talk about him. Yeah, yeah,

289
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 5: he's through too. So I mean, exactly what I'm saying

290
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 5: is I want to see the tempo from him, and

291
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 5: I want to see him battle when he gets behind.

292
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think one thing I want to see is

293
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: we talked to him about this actually, which is he's

294
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 3: been effective at limiting damage without having to use the

295
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 3: strikeout so much. You know, we saw so many strikeouts

296
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: from him last year, like some huge strikeout numbers night

297
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 3: in and night out, it seemed like. But he talked

298
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 3: about how he kind of realized that he's not a

299
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: strikeout picture anymore. So I want to see, you know,

300
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 3: can he if he can? First of all, obviously you

301
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 3: want to see can he rack up? Can he miss

302
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 3: bats at a major league level? He just missed his

303
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: first one now, But can he be effective without using

304
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 3: the strikeout? Can?

305
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 4: You know?

306
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 3: And like Ian said, can he work out of tough

307
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 3: situations against major league hitters. So there are things we

308
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: want to see, you know, see from him, the stuff.

309
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 3: You know, I'd like to see a little more velocity,

310
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: but you know, that's not who he is. So it's

311
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: just gonna be about the way he reacts to certain

312
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 3: situations in the big leagues and his demeanor and how

313
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: he handles, you know, getting into sticky situations against a

314
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 3: major league lineup rather than a double A lineup.

315
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: Gotcha, Well, he's off to a good start so far.

316
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: To score, and the Marlins gave him some run support.

317
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: The other pictures must be like, man, he you're new

318
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: around here, already getting more RUSI than we are.

319
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, yeah, six up, six up, six downs. So

320
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: and he struck him out with a with a per

321
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 3: bulk struck out Colton Monks. So I mean, you know,

322
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 3: if we see five solid innings from him tonight, you know,

323
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 3: as long as the rails don't, you know, the train

324
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: doesn't come completely off the rails, I'll be happy with

325
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 3: his start tonight because I don't have very high expectations

326
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 3: considering he was on a bus in double A yesterday. Yep.

327
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: All right, so we have about ten twelve minutes before

328
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: Isan comes on. Let's go ahead and talk about some

329
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: of the trending guys. If we're being honest, this week,

330
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of hitting that happened in this

331
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: in this farm system. I mean, outside of guys like

332
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: Isan Diaz and a Brian Miller, there wasn't a lot

333
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: to really talk about on the pitching side.

334
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: There's more than enough to.

335
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: Talk about, so I'll let you guys decide where you

336
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: want to go on that. The only thing that I'm

337
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: going to point out really quickly before you guys jump

338
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: in is I can't let you guys take away my

339
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: little bonus lasso Alonso nugget that I have here. Okay,

340
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, my guy over the last month, he's hitting

341
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: three oh one, three seventy nine four fifty six as

342
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: his slash. He has three homers, seven doubles, forty one

343
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: hits throughout that time, and he still has around twenty

344
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: eight you know, he's struck out twenty eight times, but

345
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: he's also walked twelve times. So we're always going to

346
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: be highlighting the first base prospects that per form. And

347
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: I just want to say that my fellow Cuban has

348
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: really come forward and this last month has has done

349
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: really well. But with that being said, Ethan, go ahead

350
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: and take it away.

351
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 3: One guy I want to talk about that I don't

352
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 3: think we've really talked about too much is six though

353
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: not the greatest number so far, you know, not exactly

354
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 3: what we were expecting from him. But what has been

355
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: a big positive from him so far is the strikeout

356
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 3: and walks. He's not really walking a ton of guys

357
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 3: at all. He has eight walks so far in eight games,

358
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 3: so you know, one walk per game, and he's striking out.

359
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 3: He's had six strikeouts his last two games both he

360
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 3: went five and two thirds the other day and five

361
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 3: innings in his second to last star or his the

362
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 3: previous start before that. So he's just doing his thing,

363
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 3: you know, and he's working his way back. I think,

364
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 3: you know, everybody's going to be concerned about the fact

365
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 3: that he's getting hit around a lot. He's given up

366
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 3: a ton of hits this year. He gave up six

367
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 3: in his last start and four runs. But everybody's going

368
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 3: to be concerned about that. But what you really, what

369
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 3: we really should be looking at is the command stats,

370
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 3: and he's not walking a ton of guys, and he's

371
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: able to get strikeouts in the strike zone. Peppers, peppers, peppers.

372
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,959
Speaker 3: The strike zone. He's always working around and inside it,

373
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: and so I think it's good to see him be

374
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: able to get strike outs inside the strike zone. Now

375
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 3: is the chance for him to start working and using

376
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 3: his stuff more deceptively to get more mispats and to

377
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: you know, stop giving up as many hits as he has,

378
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 3: but he's been really solid. He's just kind of doing

379
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: his thing, and I think we're going to continue to

380
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 3: see him get better. And another thing I want to

381
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 3: talk about just mentioned quickly is Banfield went two had

382
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 3: two hits the other night, a double, one a home run.

383
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 3: His numbers still don't really still aren't really that great,

384
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 3: but he's been able to flash power this year. I've

385
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 3: seen there's been a lot of power out of him

386
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 3: this year, and I just think that's exciting because you know,

387
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 3: the catcher obviously catcher isn't the most valuable offensive position,

388
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 3: but if he's going to be able to provide some

389
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,959
Speaker 3: pop from that spot with the defense that he plays,

390
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 3: that'll be really good and will help him move up

391
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: through the system really quickly. So it's nice to see

392
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,479
Speaker 3: him showing some power and hopefully six though, you know,

393
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 3: can put one of together, one of these starts that

394
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: we were expecting from him. But he'll get there, you know,

395
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 3: he'll work his way there.

396
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm excited about him, and at least when it comes

397
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: to six though, if this is what a bad six

398
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: still looks like, please sign me up. Yeah, exactly, this

399
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: is this is his first his first time at this level. Okay,

400
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: he is working all around the strike zone, which is

401
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: also likely why he's getting hit. I mean, you mentioned it,

402
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: he's Peppers' strike zone. Individuals at that level are going

403
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: to make contact. It's still not even overly hard contact.

404
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 1: When you look at some of the film. It's not

405
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: like he's getting homeward to death here. But if this

406
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: is really the worst that we're going to get of

407
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: a six of Sanchez, goodness, gracious, wait until this super

408
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: young pitching arm is actually entering and knows how to

409
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: pitch out of the zone and get people out of

410
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: the zone. And I mean, I'm excited for you know,

411
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: I know Marlin's Twitter. I think you kind of responded

412
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: to this. Marlon Twitter said something to the extent of,

413
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: are we worried about six of Sanchez?

414
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

415
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: The answers no, I mean, the answers just know he's

416
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: been as advertised with the stuff.

417
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 3: Though too.

418
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,719
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, I'll be the hardest guy on him,

419
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 5: and I think the toughest. I mean, the biggest thing

420
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 5: he's got going for right now is he throws too

421
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 5: many strikes, and that's the heart. Like, like you guys,

422
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 5: both just said like his control is so elite that

423
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 5: he just knows nothing else but to put the ball

424
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 5: on the strike zone. And he starts to start putting

425
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 5: something in the dirt every now and then and work

426
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 5: inside and outside. He's going to be striking guys out

427
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 5: right and left. Like his stuff is so gross that

428
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 5: he's giving up weak, weak grounders and slap singles.

429
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 3: But I think he's.

430
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 5: Got nothing to worry about going forward if he starts

431
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 5: missing best for missing bats wise, I agree.

432
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 3: That I've said that that problem, that's his problem, just

433
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: throwing too many strikes, because if you leave it in

434
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 3: the strike zone, guys are going to hit it, you know.

435
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 3: But guys, he's still able to be effective and limit

436
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 3: damage and get a bunch of strikeouts. So you know,

437
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 3: everybody's gonna look at the hits and the runs and

438
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 3: be like, oh my god, he's terrible, But he's not.

439
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 3: He's a very good picture. He is great stuff and

440
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 3: great command of his stuff, and he's going to learn

441
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: how to use that.

442
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 2: And he's twenty in double A yeah, I mean, I.

443
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: Don't realize he's only twenty.

444
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: And and the and the stuff that people might point

445
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: out isn't even that bad, like the hits and the it's, it's, it's,

446
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: we could still see why this is a consensus top

447
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: you know, twenty five prospect in baseball, and we can

448
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: see why the Marlin should be really excited about his

449
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: development and where he's at.

450
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 3: All.

451
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: Right, how about Easton Dia.

452
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: Someone take Easton Diaz away, because if he's going to

453
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: be on here, we got to give him some love.

454
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: He's continued his hot streak. Whoever wants to speak about it,

455
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: we always fight for him.

456
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 2: Go for it, go for it.

457
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 5: I'll talk about a son a little bit here. He's

458
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 5: continuing to just put some power into the baseball. And

459
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 5: now the last ten days he's hitting three thirty three,

460
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 5: three eighty nine and seventy eighty eight. He's had some

461
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 5: Instagram worth. He plays on defense as well, with that

462
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 5: backhand that was night That was insanely easy looking, which

463
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 5: makes me sad, but I just can't imagine how hard

464
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 5: that could be in real time. But he's playing great baseball.

465
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm so stoked we have him on the

466
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 5: show today. I obviously have to go to work, but

467
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 5: I have to miss out on this. But you guys

468
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 5: are gonna kill it for it. But I'm just I've

469
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 5: been so high on a son since our first episode.

470
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: He's been my guy.

471
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 5: He's who I think is gonna be the minor league

472
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 5: player of the year, and he's proven it right now.

473
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 5: He's got fourteen homers and I forget how many games,

474
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 5: but it's not too many. He's got more homers than

475
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 5: he had all last year already in the year, and

476
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 5: he's just looking like a polished prospect.

477
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 3: Finally.

478
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 5: This guy had a couple of rough seasons the last

479
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 5: couple of years, but he's starting to find a stroke.

480
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 5: He's in a system where you know he's gonna be

481
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 5: for a little while. He's been on three teams already

482
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 5: in his young career. He really just needs to be

483
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 5: comfortable in a situation. I finally feel like he's in

484
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 5: a situation that he's comfortable and the results are there.

485
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 5: I'm excited to see what he can do finishing this out,

486
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 5: and I really hope we see him in Miami come

487
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 5: come August.

488
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's gonna he's gonna demolish his career high

489
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: for homers.

490
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: If if he's right now, yeah, if.

491
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: They don't, if they don't call him up, I mean,

492
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: it's not even gonna be close. It's nice to see

493
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: that isolated power with him. Uh, and just his approach.

494
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: You know, we've we've spoken that the last few year years. Yeah,

495
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: maybe he did take a dip, but we also remember

496
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: he had hand injuries. Maybe there was something that his

497
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: approach had changed or something was still happening there with

498
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: his hand. But it is the player that we're seeing

499
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: right now is a bona fide prospect and I can't

500
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: wait to see him in Marlins Park.

501
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to jump in here with some numbers.

502
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 3: Like you said, Danny, he's going to crush his if

503
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 3: he stays down, he's going to crush his home run total.

504
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 3: He's got four career home run total. He's got fourteen

505
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 3: this year in sixty two games. The most he ever

506
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 3: hit was twenty in his first season with the Brewers

507
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 3: when he and that was in one hundred and thirty

508
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 3: five games. And then if you want to take a

509
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 3: look at some of the numbers, his slash line is

510
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 3: so impressive. He's been so hot recently that he's gotten

511
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 3: to his slash line to a point where you don't

512
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 3: even realize that he had a really rough start to

513
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: the year his OPS was under five, you know, under

514
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: six hundred at one point. So his his slash line

515
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: now is two eighty four three seventy one OVP five

516
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: twenty nine slugging. His OPS is up at an even

517
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 3: nine hundred. His strikeout rate, it's the lowest it's ever

518
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 3: been except for one year with the with the DVAS

519
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: only twenty two only twenty two point one strikeout percentage.

520
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 3: And you talked about his isolated power, Danny, uh, two

521
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 3: forty four is his isolated power right now? For those

522
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: of you that don't know what it is, it's I

523
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 3: think it's just slugging percentage minus batting average. It basically

524
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 3: just shows how well a guy hits for power, Like

525
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 3: one hundred is is good or average. So right now

526
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 3: his is two forty four, So that shows how much

527
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 3: power he's hitting for. And he's got a one twenty

528
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 3: one way to run straight to plus right now. So

529
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: some analytics just to back up how well he's performing.

530
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 3: And like I said, like it's really impressive that with

531
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 3: that kind of start, like he really got out of

532
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 3: the gates core. I mean, he was under the Mendoza line,

533
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 3: his OPS was under card and now yeah, and now

534
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 3: he's up to a nine hundred ops and his numbers

535
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 3: are just tremendous. And you know, now, can.

536
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: I just say something very quickly, If Yams goes five,

537
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna win this game because Cooper just hit a

538
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: grand slam.

539
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 2: Oh god, ohdrop.

540
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 3: Ohe is breaking.

541
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 2: It was it was almost an identical swing, and he

542
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: went to where that you used.

543
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 3: To be went a month. He went into the into

544
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 3: the automation alley stairs. Oh my god, michaelas cub killer.

545
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I just had to say that.

546
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 3: I just know that it's good. And you know what,

547
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 3: it's good for Yams because now he's that some of

548
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 3: the nerves are off.

549
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: You know, he's smiling.

550
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 3: Also in my fantasy league on fish Stripes, guys, no

551
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 3: like like you know, now, this is great for Jordan's

552
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 3: because now he can really settle in and takes some

553
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 3: It takes a lot of the pressure off of him.

554
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: And with two really good innings under his belt, hopefully

555
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 3: we see him start cruising here. But I'm gonna knock

556
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: on wood and take that back because you know how

557
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 3: the Bodowski James works. So we'll see how We'll see how.

558
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 2: That goes and it's on the air, so now we

559
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 2: can't even do that. It goes back.

560
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 3: Now everybody will know if I takes Jordan's first starter

561
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 3: or not. But but yeah, just that the now what

562
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 3: he saw on the one thing is it's just a

563
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: waiting game. You know, when is Castro when? When when

564
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 3: do we trade him for even if it's just if

565
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 3: a money or draft pool money or something, when do

566
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 3: we open up that spot to get he saw in there?

567
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: Because he's ready, He's more than ready. We all you

568
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 3: can tell he's ready to go. And he sounded like it.

569
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 3: You know, he sounds like it. So uh, I can't

570
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 3: wait to have him up at the big leagues.

571
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to get just one more player in here,

572
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: and and this is going to be your guy. Okay,

573
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: at some point we're going to have to do a

574
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: special on Edward Cabrera.

575
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 2: We really are like, yeah, we have here will not

576
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 2: be enough.

577
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: Now, Ian's writing a really good piece that I'm sure

578
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: will be on Fits Stripes eventually on Edward Carbert. I

579
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: want you to just give a tease, all right, and

580
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: I don't want us to go to in depth. Ethan's

581
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: about to call in and I want him to have

582
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: I want Edward Carbret to have his time whenever we

583
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: talk about him, but just talk a little bit about

584
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: Cabrera because it's just ridiculous what he's doing. He deserves

585
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: to be spoken about, even if it's just on our podcast.

586
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 3: He's been incredible so far this year.

587
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 5: It's been the biggest jump of any of our prospects

588
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 5: probably and that's including Zach Gallen.

589
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 3: I mean, he's looked phenomenal.

590
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 5: His velocities up the secondaries are showing, sup showing plus

591
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 5: it's it's been phenomenal. He's currently on eleven inning scoreless

592
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 5: streak right now, and earlier in the year he had

593
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 5: a twenty one and I think third ending scoreless streak.

594
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 5: He's he's dominating Jupiter Jupiter right now. He's only two

595
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 5: months older than six though, with extremely better stats so

596
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 5: far this year in the Florida State League. I mean,

597
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 5: that's it's not saying a lot, We're just going to

598
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 5: count stats. But the kid has been balling. I mean

599
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 5: last year, I mean the highest highest strikeout rate of

600
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 5: his career. So far this year, he's sitting at ninety

601
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 5: nine on the gun most of his starts. He was

602
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 5: out for about a week with a little blister injury

603
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 5: and came back and looked even better than before the injury.

604
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 5: He's a Florida State League All Star. But as I

605
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 5: say that, this weekend is the he can't wait to

606
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 5: see him across our game in Jupiter. So I hope

607
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 5: everybody comes out to that. It's gonna be a great weekend.

608
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 5: But yeah, back back to Edward. I think he's gonna

609
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 5: be in Jacksonville a lot sooner than we think. He's

610
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 5: really done all he needs to do so far this

611
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 5: year in single A pitching. He threw one hundred innings

612
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 5: last year and in high I mean in regular A,

613
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 5: and he's through seventy innings in high this year and

614
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 5: he's just looked better. I think they're going to challenge him.

615
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 5: I think he's got the body type to be challenged.

616
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 5: He's shown the type of pitches to be an elite pitcher,

617
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 5: be a starting pitcher in the majors. So I think

618
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 5: they're going to push this guy, and I think we'll

619
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 5: see him in Jacksonville probably the next two to three weeks.

620
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's an easy one. If he am stays up

621
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 3: at the major league level. I think that's a very

622
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 3: easy promotion for the Marlins to make. He should be

623
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 3: the first guy from this Jupiter rotation right up to

624
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 3: Jacksonville two point out four ERA two point two three

625
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,479
Speaker 3: feeling independent pitching, which suggests that his era is legit.

626
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 3: That low of an era is very legit. His K

627
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 3: for nine, like you mentioned, it's levels above anything he's

628
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 3: ever had before. Eleven point four right now is highest

629
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 3: before that was eight point three four k rates up

630
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 3: in the thirties. His walk percentage is under eight. He's

631
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 3: just been so good this year. Yeah, I've been Yeah,

632
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 3: only let up one home run. It was in his

633
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,239
Speaker 3: first start. You know, every time I tweet about him,

634
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 3: I usually finish the tweet with Jacksonville. He should be there.

635
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 3: He's proven enough in the Florida State League right now,

636
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 3: it's time to get him up, challenge him, like you said,

637
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 3: I and see what he can do in Jacksonville. It's

638
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 3: very you know, speaking of Yams, it's eerily similar to

639
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 3: what Yams did last year, where he just dominated in

640
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 3: Jupiter and went right up to Jacksonville very quickly. They

641
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 3: made a move for him to Jacksonville very quickly, and

642
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 3: I think they should do the same thing with Edward.

643
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'll just add this little nugget. Cabrera, Rogers, Holloway, Devers.

644
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: All four are further Florida State League All Stars, which

645
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: tells you something about the system. They're all all four

646
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: of them are also worthy. And I want Ian to

647
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: just give in a little plug really quickly again, because

648
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: I know you did it, but in a very modest

649
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: fashion about the All Star Game, about what you've done

650
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: for the All Star Game and how individuals can get

651
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: out there.

652
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 5: Oh yes, there's actually a few giveaways we're doing on

653
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 5: fish Tricks right now. I was able to donate fifty

654
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,400

Speaker 5: follows us, and I thought this would be the easiest

659
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,840

00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: coming from that same swing, someone who many scouts identify

685
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: It's always it's always a pleasure to have you guys

686
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: on and quite frankly, if we're being honest, if you

687
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: even go back just a few episodes, you're going to

688
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: hear how much myself and Ethan just love the player

689
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: that you are.

690
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: So we're excited for this today.

691
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: We're excited to you know, have a quick conversation with you,

692
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: and I actually want to start off with something that

693
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: I would assume just made you incredibly proud. You had

694
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: the opportunity to play for Puerto Rico in the Under

695
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: twenty three Baseball World Cup, and I just wonder what

696
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: it meant for you to be able to put on

697
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: that Puerto Rican flag and have a good showing the way.

698
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 2: That you did.

699
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 4: Absolutely no, man, tell you, I think, uh, I think

700
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 4: I had maybe a few flashbacks when uh, when I

701
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 4: had gotten a call from uh from Yadi. Yadi or

702
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 4: Millino was actually our manager both years, and uh, you

703
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 4: know he uh you know, gave me a call and

704
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 4: obviously didn't recognize the number, and you know I'm here,

705
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 4: you know, obviously I picked up, and you know, he

706
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 4: just asked me a few questions about how my season

707
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 4: was going and and you know, what were my thoughts

708
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 4: about the off season and what was I looking into.

709
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 4: And he presented the uh, you know, the tournament and

710
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 4: what he was organizing and putting together and trying to

711
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 4: you know, put it back uh Puerto Rico on the

712
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 4: map and stuff like that. So you know, I couldn't

713
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 4: I couldn't resist and I had to accept, uh, you know,

714
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 4: the offer. But you know, when I was a kid,

715
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 4: my dad used to play in this Puerto Rico Dominican

716
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 4: sophomore tournament every year, and the uniforms they were so

717
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 4: they were so nice. But I obviously really didn't have

718
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 4: a clue about you know, where I was from yet

719
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 4: or you know, I was very young at I mean,

720
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 4: I was living in Massachusetts. So I always had a

721
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 4: dream of wearing the uniform and wearing the colors, and

722
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 4: it just so happened to be that I had gotten

723
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 4: opportunity thirteen years later to actually be able to represent

724
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 4: our country in that way with those kind of people

725
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 4: as our coaches, that it was kind of an amazing experience.

726
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely you mentioned it.

727
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you were born in Puerto Rico and then

728
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: you came over at an early age, you were in

729
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: Massachusetts in that area. You know, we all expect you

730
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: to become that player that eventually will get the call,

731
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: hopefully for like a World Baseball Classic. Have you ever

732
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: considered if you had don the Puerto Rico or if

733
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: you would consider the US. What are your thoughts on that,

734
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: because that's always an exciting question when the player has

735
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: two nationalities that they could really identify with.

736
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I would. You know, obviously I live here

737
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 4: and I I was practically raised here in the US,

738
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 4: born in PR, you know. But obviously I have a

739
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 4: lot of family that's out in Puerto Rico, and you know,

740
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 4: for everything that they've gone through and what that what

741
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 4: that place has gone through, you know, I think that

742
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,919
Speaker 4: about to make a decision, it have to be Puerto

743
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 4: Rico obviously, but you know, but you know, you never know.

744
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 4: Obviously things changed through time. But I think as of

745
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 4: right now, I would pay Puerto Rico. It's my number

746
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 4: one choice.

747
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, you can't go wrong with that.

748
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 3: Speaking of speaking of number one, he Son, You've had

749
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 3: a few different numbers throughout your career, I've noticed, but

750
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 3: the one you're rocking right now happens to be my

751
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 3: favorite numbers as well. Number one. Is there one number

752
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 3: that you've always kind of gone to when you have

753
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 3: the opportunity to play baseball and is there one number

754
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 3: that you feel you would want to stick with for

755
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 3: the rest of your career.

756
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, my my favorite number is eleven. My dad wore,

757
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 4: I wore when I was a kid. I wore my

758
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 4: first two years in pro ball, and then I kind

759
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 4: of jumped over to six. Then now is one. But

760
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 4: I would say if there was one number I'd have

761
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 4: to wear for the rest of my career, it would

762
00:35:59,360 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 4: be number one.

763
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 3: Uh.

764
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 4: My grand my grandfather won number one when he played

765
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 4: back in the day. So and now he's he's actually

766
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 4: back home. You know, he's going through a lot and

767
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 4: stuff like that. You know, he's kind of in that

768
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 4: stage where you know he's very old and such, but

769
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 4: you know he's hanging in there. He's doing well. Uh,

770
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 4: you know, and right now I'm just you know, representing

771
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 4: him and then kind of really just taking on. You know,

772
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 4: his name in my mind every day and every day

773
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 4: I go to the field, his name is always in

774
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 4: my mind. And you know, that's kind of reason why

775
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 4: this year I took on the road of warning number one.

776
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: He's not really quickly because we asked Monte this, and

777
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: I want to get your impression on it too. I

778
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 1: don't even know if you're going to remember, but during

779
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: spring training, the Marlins marketing and media campaigns, it's something called,

780
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: I think like the Miami Ink Madness, right, So they

781
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 1: asked you to take pictures of like your arm sleeve,

782
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: your tattooed, the ink work you have done, and they

783
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 1: put you all up against each other, and of course,

784
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, Monte ends up winning it at the end.

785
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: Obviously you have really good work done on you. Is

786
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: there any particular piece that is the most important to

787
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: you that you just hold dearest to you?

788
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 4: Absolutely? I would. I would say the one on my

789
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 4: right shoulder has Jesus hands and my family's names all over.

790
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 4: My dad's name, my mom is, my brother, my sister,

791
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 4: and uh, you know that kind of was. It was

792
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 4: my first tattoo when I got it. I was like eighteen,

793
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 4: I think, and it has to be probably my favorite one.

794
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 4: And I told Monte right after that when I saw that,

795
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 4: he went on Twitter, Monte, if you you're looking that

796
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 4: I didn't show the rest of my tattoos. I don't

797
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 4: know my arm because I have farms. But if I

798
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 4: had showed the red, people probably would have lost. I

799
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 4: told him that. I was like, he probably would have lost,

800
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 4: but you know, he's like, nah, I would have never lost.

801
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 4: We got the best tattoos in the world.

802
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 3: Speaking of Monte, right now, you're in New Orleans and

803
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 3: you're with him, sadly down on the IL right now,

804
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 3: and you're also with Lewis and Jordan Yamamoto just got

805
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 3: a big call and you guys are of course part

806
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 3: of one of the biggest traits that really started this rebuild.

807
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 3: What's the relationship with those guys like having been together

808
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 3: in an organization before and is there a little extra

809
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 3: added motivation from you guys to to show what you

810
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 3: guys have based on where you guys came from and

811
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 3: how you got to this organization.

812
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 4: Absolutely, you know, we we talk about it constantly. You know,

813
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 4: we have our own our own group chat, and we

814
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 4: know we have conversations and stuff, and you know, we

815
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 4: we tood chat every now and then, you know about

816
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 4: you know, things that are going on, and uh, but

817
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 4: we're we're I was very excited and happy to just

818
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 4: hear that, you know, young Moto was getting the opportunity

819
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 4: to go up and playing the big league. Finally. I

820
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 4: believe I believe that, you know, we we've all kind

821
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 4: of created this bond and this kind of relationship where

822
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 4: we know each other to a certain extent, to where

823
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 4: you know, we know how each other feels, you know,

824
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 4: toward a certain situations and we kind of know how

825
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 4: to play with each other, you know, on the field,

826
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 4: there's a lot of good communication that's involved and and

827
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 4: there's a lot of good things that happen when we're

828
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 4: all on the field at the same time, you know,

829
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 4: which is obviously a good feeling to have as a player.

830
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 4: To know that, you know, you can go out and

831
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 4: and play with someone that you already know, you know,

832
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 4: it's always a plus, you know, rather than to playing

833
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 4: with someone that you know it's you know, you don't

834
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 4: really know very well. You know, it's kind of the

835
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 4: first time and you're just kind of getting used to

836
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 4: him and really just trying to get to know him

837
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 4: while the season is going on. But just to have

838
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 4: Brenton and Monte on the same team, you know, it

839
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 4: means a lot, and it helps out a lot as well,

840
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 4: you know, because they keep me on my toes well

841
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 4: and they pick me up, you know, when things are

842
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 4: not going well, and we just kind of we kind

843
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 4: of just feed off each other. So it's always it's

844
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 4: always a plus to play with them.

845
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 3: You've mentioned Jordan getting the call and you're right on

846
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 3: the doorstep be Sawn and you've been dominating all year

847
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 3: down in Triple A on another one too.

848
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 6: And now when it's troub right field, going back track,

849
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 6: whoa that is God? These pets give it the CAGs

850
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 6: up right along way on a row. He sends it

851
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 6: over and outs are right.

852
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 3: Just a general question, is it hard when you're right

853
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 3: there on the doorstep to stay patient as you wait

854
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 3: for that call up to the bigs, especially with the

855
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 3: way you've been performing this year.

856
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 4: Oh that's a great question.

857
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 3: You know.

858
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 4: I try not to put too much mind towards it.

859
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 4: You know, I've been kind of just letting, uh, letting

860
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 4: things happen on their own, and and uh, just kind

861
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 4: of taking it each day, you know, one day at

862
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 4: a time, not really rushing through the process and really

863
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 4: just kind of let the days come. Uh obviously, you know,

864
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 4: if the day happens this year, you know, then it

865
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 4: happens this year. If it doesn't, then you know, we

866
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 4: continue to work, you know, and I believe you know,

867
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 4: we have lots of conversations here, you know. Uh, you

868
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 4: can't stop working, you know, and and we can't. We

869
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 4: can't stop continuing to believe in ourselves and and trying

870
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 4: to focus on other things that are really not important

871
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 4: at the time. But besides playing that day at seven

872
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 4: o'clock and getting the job done, you know, and that's

873
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 4: kind of been my main focus since I got here,

874
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 4: is you know, to continue to go out and perform

875
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 4: each day, day in and day out, and continue to

876
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 4: just be Myselfesan.

877
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sneak in a baseball question, but before I

878
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 1: do that, we just got this sent in from Twitter

879
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: because they know that we're interviewing you.

880
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:31,439
Speaker 2: A really soft question.

881
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,439
Speaker 1: I promise when you get to the majors, you already

882
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: spoke about possibly, you know, keeping onto that number one

883
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: jersey for your grandfather.

884
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 2: High or rather high knee pants or down to the cleats.

885
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, ah, man, I'm really I'm undecided. I pick and

886
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 4: choose every now and then.

887
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could change it up, right, It has to

888
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 2: be one consistent.

889
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I like the high socks, man, I like

890
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 4: the high socks that you know, when things are good,

891
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 4: you know, and you're wearing pants down, you kind of

892
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 4: try and keep the same routine. So you know, it's

893
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 4: been good with the pants downs.

894
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: But I think we're even down for that, all right,

895
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: So my baseball question, I promise, isn't too hard either.

896
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: You know, you've always been able to hit wherever you've gone.

897
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: You've had success on the field too. I mean, we

898
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: actually just saw I think it was your brother who

899
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: sent it out a video of you getting a ground

900
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: or the momentum was kind of taking you the other

901
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 1: way so you went behind the back to switch hands.

902
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we can't wait to see this up at

903
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: Marlin's Park. But from the outside looking in, something that's

904
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 1: been really different this year. Again, just from the outside

905
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: looking in, is that K percentage?

906
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 3: Right?

907
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: You were around high eighties or high twenties my bad

908
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 1: last year. You're down to the low twenties this year

909
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: at Triple A. What is there anything specific that you

910
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: went into the season targeting. Is it just so you

911
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: feel more comfortable with your approach just seeing the ball?

912
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: Where do you think that comes from?

913
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 4: You know, be honest, it's true. I really I've really

914
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 4: been just trying to just be ready to hit at

915
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 4: all times. It's kind of been my biggest things this

916
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 4: year is really taking each at bad and and and

917
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 4: each pitch as in that bad, because every pitch is

918
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 4: in that bad. You know, not every at bad that bad.

919
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 4: Every pitch is in that bad. And I think the

920
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 4: most important thing and a lot of us kind of

921
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 4: tend to forget every now and then is to just

922
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 4: make sure you're ready to hit, you know, and and

923
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 4: not really you know, be you know, in just lolly

924
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 4: gag mode and then kind of just let a few

925
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 4: kitches go by. You're always on the attack, you know,

926
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 4: we're on a mission and that to do the job,

927
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 4: get the job done. And and I think when you

928
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 4: have that mindset, everything kind of just takes the life

929
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 4: on his own, you know, and you start to do

930
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 4: things that you know you might have thought you never

931
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 4: were able to do just because of the mindset, you know.

932
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 4: And I think that kind of helps me out to

933
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 4: just go out and perform as well on the defensive

934
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 4: side of well, you know, I think it's been it's

935
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 4: been great so far. And and you know, we're just

936
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 4: trying to continue to stay consistent with that mindset, you know,

937
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 4: day in and day out.

938
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 3: Uh you Saan our boy Ian who helped the show

939
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 3: couldn't be here today, but he had one question that

940
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 3: he really wanted to ask you. And it's how important

941
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 3: and how special is it to you to have your

942
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 3: brother there watching you every day?

943
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 4: Oh man? It's uh, it's special, man. I think, uh,

944
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 4: you know, when I was a kid, I always had

945
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 4: my dad look, you know, come out and kind of,

946
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 4: you know, give me the scoop on, you know, things

947
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 4: that I did wrong. And now it's kind of my

948
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 4: brother to kind of really see things. And you know,

949
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 4: he's young, but he's learning as well, and he knows

950
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 4: a lot of things as well for a young age.

951
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 4: But I think it's good to to have him, you know,

952
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 4: kind of just watch and just learn, because I feel

953
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 4: like the fact that he can learn, then you know,

954
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 4: the don't the better he can get, you know. And

955
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 4: you know, he's obviously trying to make his way to

956
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 4: to to make his being come true as well, and

957
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 4: I think it's very possible. So you know, I told

958
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 4: him just to continue to work hard. And I told

959
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 4: him too to do something wrong. If you see me

960
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 4: do something wrong, please don't hesitation on me, you know.

961
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 4: So he's got that confidence with me, and we've always

962
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 4: you know, we always talked about the game, and he's

963
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 4: in love of the game just as much as I

964
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 4: and so it's always good to have that that person

965
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 4: with you as well.

966
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 3: All Right, we're going to get you out of here

967
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 3: on this hen I've been asking everybody that comes on

968
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 3: with us this question. I I think the minor league

969
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 3: life is crazy and what you guys go through is

970
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 3: just so interesting to me. So I want to know

971
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 3: you've played in some some crazy places. What's one story

972
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 3: of just either the worst experience you've had on the

973
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 3: road or a place that you were just like, this

974
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 3: is really where I'm at trying to accomplish my dream.

975
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 3: But you know, is there one place really that stands

976
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 3: out to you that was just an awful minor league experience?

977
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 3: I guess is the question. I don't.

978
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 4: I think I've been very fortunate to be able to

979
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 4: be a part of you know, obviously you know three organizations,

980
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 4: uh you know the league that I've played in that

981
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 4: feel like they've all been great. You know, come from

982
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 4: a place where you know, the fields are not that

983
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 4: great and the backstop is not great and the dugouts

984
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 4: are not always that good looking, you know, So I

985
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 4: feel like every part that I played in to this

986
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 4: day has been great. You know, I really have nothing

987
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 4: bad to say about any field that I've been on

988
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 4: or played on. Uh. You know, I think maybe if

989
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 4: there was one place I'd had to say something, was

990
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,479
Speaker 4: I think it was Clinton. I think of my low

991
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 4: a year back in twenty sixteen. Clinton. They just had

992
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,080

Speaker 4: like dog food around the whole city.

994
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 3: It was just.

995
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 4: Terrible and we can like smell it in the hotel too,

996
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 4: and it was just it was bad. That was bad.

997
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 4: That was It was hard to sleep at night too

998

Speaker 4: with that. It was brutal. Oh, there was one place
