1
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: Live from Lone Depot Park, Fish Unfiltered. My name is

2
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: as a Gazouite. As always, I'm joined by the great

3
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: Kevin Burraw, and we have a very special guest this

4
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: evening the radio played by a playman of the Marlins

5
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: and the man behind some of the most electric calls

6
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: in all of Major League Baseball, Kyle Seloff.

7
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 2: Kyle, thanks for day in the time. Well, thank you.

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: You're buttering me up, but thank you. I like that.

9
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: I like the way this is going so far.

10
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: Let's get started the last twenty four hours, Kyle. Before

11
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: yesterday's game, Samuel Contro, Horiy Siller, arguably your best pitcher

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: and your best hitter go on the shelf.

13
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: Twenty four games left.

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: How about yesterday's ball game?

15
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think it's great to see the

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: way that they were able to bounce back. I mean, look,

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: I've said this pregame yesterday. They're not in a position where,

18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: you know, by the way, I mean, like you know,

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: all of us on the media find out at a

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 2: certain time. They probably knew a little bit beforehand, right

21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: that something was going on. They still Nelly and I

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: were talking about this last night. They cannot feel sorry

23
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 2: for themselves. This team has played really good baseball all

24
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: season long. You can't let that, no matter what it

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: ends up being, for the both of them, derail what's

26
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: been a great season.

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: This is an incredibly resilient group, you know, and that's

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 3: evidenced by their performance, you know, at different times of

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 3: the year. So you know, I could definitely see them

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: rallying together and knowing that they've got to pick up

31
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: some of the slock.

32
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 2: It puts you in a pinch. You're losing a starting pitcher,

33
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,919
Speaker 2: You're losing a guy that was the cy young last season.

34
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: But it's a terrible day. But you know, I think personally,

35
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: the Marlins within reason, have not suffered to date, like

36
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: a catastrophic injury this season. Right Like you've kind of

37
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: forgot about Trevor Rodgers because he just hasn't been around.

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: You know, Equato obviously did in pitch, but other than that,

39
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: they've stayed really healthy. Luisa Rise has not missed time,

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: some of these other guys have not missed time. And

41
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 2: you know, in large part they stayed really healthy this season,

42
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: and injuries are gonna happen. The Marlins, the front office

43
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: and the players in that clubhouse have got to find

44
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: a way to respond, and I thought they did a

45
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: great job responding last night. I really did.

46
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 4: Obviously we look, you know, this series thus far, they've

47
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 4: taken two. Going for the sweet tonight as we're recording,

48
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 4: just would have been your thoughts overall?

49
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I I said this last night too,

50
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: like I think sometimes people get sick of that stupid

51
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: cliche like go one to oh today. But you know

52
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 2: it's true if you look at this stretch where it's

53
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, the Phillies, the Brewers, and the Braves. Again,

54
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: those guys are wired a lot differently than us. But

55
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: that would seem daunting, right, like, oh, my goodness, how

56
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: do we get through a fourteen game stretch? Well, play

57
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 2: nine really good inning tonight, and if you start stacking

58
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: up wins, you know, look for what it's worth this

59
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: fourteen game stretch. For me, if they go seven and seven,

60
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: they're going to have a great opportunity down the stretch.

61
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: Playing a Mets team that doesn't have a whole lot

62
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: of pitching, they can still hit the ball. Playing the Pirates,

63
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: they're gonna have a really good opportunity to get their

64
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: way into the postseason and It's funny. We've talked about

65
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: this for a month now on the air. At some

66
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: point in every single season, somebody gets hot and we

67
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: talk about, you know, is it gonna be the Reds

68
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 2: that get hot? Of the Giants? What's the Marlins that

69
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: are getting hot? Right now? They have an opportunity tonight

70
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: to do something they haven't done all season long. It's

71
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: win seven games in a row, right so, you know

72
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: they're getting hot at the right time, and you hope

73
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: they can stay hot. I really do think if they

74
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 2: can go five hundred or maybe a touch better over

75
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: this stretch, they're gonna be in a great position to

76
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: have an opportunity to make the postseason, regardless of whether

77
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: or not they have three starting pitchers and they're gonna

78
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: utilize two bullpen guys or utilize the opener two out

79
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: of every five days, and you kind of use Edward

80
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: Cabrera and that mix is like that hybrid swing guy.

81
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like, I'm enjoying the hell out of

82
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: watching these guys, man, Like they're fun to watch. They're

83
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: winning games. They're five over again when they are just

84
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: a game under last week, Like keep on playing roll

85
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: the dice every night, try to put nine good innings together,

86
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: and you just don't know what's gonna happen.

87
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: You mentioned last week on August thirtieth, Miami just finished

88
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: getting swept by the Raising two games. At that point,

89
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: their playoff percentage, according to Fangress, went down to eleven percent.

90
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: It's currently at thirty four percent. At eleven percent over

91
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: down there, did you maybe lose a little bit of

92
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: hope that this could get done.

93
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 2: I don't know if you lose hope, but like it

94
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: just it wasn't going well, Like they weren't pitching well enough,

95
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: they weren't getting big hits, and they could not hit

96
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: with runners in scoring position. So I mean, if the

97
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: Zach constitute is losing hope, I guess at some point

98
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: you're like you. If they don't do that, they're not

99
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 2: going to get where they want to go. Now, all

100
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 2: of a sudden, I wish I had my notebook that

101
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: I wrote this down earlier. Since August eighteenth, I think

102
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 2: they hit twenty seven homers and played in seventy four runs.

103
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 2: I should go calculate how many of the runs have

104
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: been scored via the homer. But like all of a sudden,

105
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 2: a team that we did not really see to start

106
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: the season. Outside of Jorge Hilaire, they're winning via homers,

107
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: and whether it's Sanchez or Dala Cruz or chiz Him

108
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 2: or Arise has gotten into the mix a little bit.

109
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: And the moves that Kim made for me at the deadline,

110
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: it's put them in a position where they can weather

111
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: some of this storm without Solaire because you add Berger,

112
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: who I think is going to display more power in September.

113
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: And even if he doesn't, he's been really good. He

114
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: might not have to hit the ball out of the

115
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 2: yard to be a productiut of, I think that's proven,

116
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 2: that's true. But then Josh Bell kind of slides in

117
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: there as the guy that can kind of carry some

118
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: of the load. And you know what, to me, the

119
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: biggest X factor and we say this a lot is Jazz.

120
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: He got spoken to in Washington, DC because he wasn't hustling. Okay,

121
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 2: like it is what it is and you gotta call

122
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: it how you see it. He got spoken to. That

123
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: kid has been electric the last couple of days, whether

124
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: it's hitting the ball out of the yard or dropping

125
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 2: down a bunt and gliding the first Because nobody's gonna

126
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: get him stealing bases, playing terrific defense. He could do

127
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 2: something really special in September. He's not gonna do it

128
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: all by himself, but he has a chance to really

129
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: carry this team.

130
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 4: Do you think what they're doing is sustainable? I mean

131
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: the way they're scoring runs right now, obviously just via

132
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 4: the homer, mainly.

133
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 2: I do because I think that it's a product of

134
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: good at bats. Like a home run is not lucky, right, Like,

135
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: there's a plan, there's an approach that leads to that. Now,

136
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: is it always going to be a homer. Sometimes it's

137
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: gonna be a double. You know, you get on top

138
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 2: of one a little bit, it's a single into center field.

139
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 4: You know.

140
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,119
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're gonna hit thirty home runs

141
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: this month, But to me, homers are a product of

142
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: good at bats, and that is a product Brent Brown

143
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,559
Speaker 2: and John Mabray and Jason Hart and their team down there,

144
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: and something that they've preached all season long about putting

145
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: a plan together. Remember when we were in San Diego

146
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks back, Skip had mentioned something like

147
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: like they're not following the game plan. Well, like, you know,

148
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: there's no there's no bs. I'm not saying there ever

149
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: was before, but with this staff in particular, we're gonna

150
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 2: call you out if you're not doing something right, if

151
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: we're not doing the little things right, we're gonna talk

152
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: about it. We're gonna give it out front, we're gonna

153
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: have a conversation, and we're gonna fix it because if

154
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: you don't, you're gonna start losing. And guys don't want

155
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: to have hard conversations or whatever you want to see.

156
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 2: But it's really no nonsense, and it's funny to me.

157
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: It's like they took an approach back in spring training, like,

158
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: if people are gonna pay money to watch you, put

159
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: your best foot forward and try to win for this

160
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: fan base. And like, in a roundabout way, that means

161
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: coming to the ballpark, showing up on time, going to

162
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: every single meeting, game planning, taking care of your body,

163
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: putting yourself in a position to win, which ultimately makes

164
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: the fan base happy. But like, I love this staff.

165
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: I love what they're doing, and I do to your question,

166
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: think what they're doing within reason is sustainable.

167
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: A big part of yesterday's comeback win, obviously, the two

168
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: run home run by Joey Wendall. This man, a bonafie professional,

169
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: has really struggled this year on the offensive side of

170
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: the ball, displayed great defense at short How big is

171
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: it for this team if he came to get going

172
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: a little.

173
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: Bit, Yeah, I mean I think he helps. You know,

174
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: it's been an awful year. There was like the six

175
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: week stretcher. He's sitting over three hundred and he just

176
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: fell back into the funk until what felt like last night.

177
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: The one thing about Joey Wendall is he is a

178
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: consummate pro. It does not matter or if he's zero

179
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: for forty or thirty for forty. He's gonna show up

180
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: to the ballpark and prepare the same way every single night.

181
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: And he leads by example and to me, ultimately that

182
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: filters down to his teammates when you learn to conduct

183
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: yourself like a professional, I guess.

184
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 4: Looking forward, obviously you mentioned a Philly Milwaukee. These are

185
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 4: teams that are very close in that playoff contention. You

186
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 4: know they're in the race as well. Just what do

187
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 4: you think is the key to take those teams? Obviously

188
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: with Milwaukee, which no, Philly is the team coming up

189
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 4: you Nola. You have Wheeler that's a team that's kind

190
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 4: of gotten hot in that second half of the year.

191
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 2: I want me to hold this thing now. Yeah, sure,

192
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: you know. To me, the biggest key is don't worry

193
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: about other teams. Worry about yourself like you do. You know,

194
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: they had a real the Marlins were really bad coming

195
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: out of the gates in the second half, which you know,

196
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: in hindsight, it's fun to scoreboard Walk. It's like everybody

197
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: else around him was losing. You know, there was a

198
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: point just recently when they were under one game under

199
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: that they were fifteen games under five hundred and the

200
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: second half. Obviously that's turned a little bit now, right,

201
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 2: and now they're what they're five over, so they're nine

202
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: to under in the second half. If you handle your business,

203
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about other teams losing around you.

204
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 2: I mean, in theory, the Marlins currently as we're doing this,

205
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: hold the third and final wildcards out in the National League.

206
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: If they handle their business and they have what seventy

207
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 2: two wins, Okay, so we have twenty three games left

208
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: to player, twenty two to me if they go twenty

209
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: three games left. So if they go twelve and eleven, no,

210
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: we're screwing something up. They all right, they have seventy

211
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 2: two wins. If they get to eighty, I'm sorry. If

212
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: they go thirteen and ten the rest of the way,

213
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: I think they're in at eighty five. Don't worry within

214
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: reason about the other teams. I think they're in with

215
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: eighty five. I think if they go thirteen and ten

216
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: to me, after you start against the Dodgers two and zero,

217
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 2: and I think if you go seven and seven over

218
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: the stretch, that leaves you having to win six games

219
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: in the final two weeks. I think this team gets

220
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: in with eighty five wins, and I don't like. I

221
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 2: don't think that's false hope. I don't think that's selling

222
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 2: a bill of goods. Those other teams now below the

223
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: Mallins are gonna beat up on each other. I think

224
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 2: eighty five wins gets them in. I really do.

225
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: Well, you know what we when going into this Dodgers series,

226
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: there's twenty five games left, and I said that they

227
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: need to go at least thirteen to twelve to one,

228
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: get to above five hundred, finish a year and maybe

229
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: sneak in. Of the three teams that the Mallins are

230
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: competing with for that final wildcard spot, Cincinnati, Arizona, and

231
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: I believe Chicago. Which one do you think is the

232
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: biggest threat to.

233
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 5: Miami, Cincinnati, Arizona or Chicago Francisco. I'm sorry, San Francisco, Cincinnati,

234
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 5: Arizona or San Francisco. I don't think San Francisco hits enough. Cincinnati,

235
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 5: I don't think they pitched well enough. And Arizona, I

236
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 5: don't know. I just don't know if they have enough

237
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 5: yet to get to the postseason. I don't know how

238
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 5: to answer that, because I think the Marllins are the

239
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 5: best team of those four, I really do. Like, I

240
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 5: know you guys are covering the team, but if you go,

241
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 5: if you stack up those teams, can San Francisco pitch

242
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 5: a little better because they're more healthy? Maybe I don't

243
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 5: think they can hold the candle to the Marlins offense.

244
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 5: If they're gonna keep doing this, and by doing this,

245
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 5: if they score five or six runs a night, the

246
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 5: Marlin's is gonna win a lot of games.

247
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: You don't have to score ten or eleven every night. Arizona,

248
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 2: I just don't think they have enough. Like, I think

249
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: they're a piece or two away from like actually threatening

250
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 2: the Dodgers in coming years, and who's in Cincinnati. They

251
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: don't I don't know. I don't think they pitch enough.

252
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: I really don't. Gallan struggling too. Yeah in Arizona, that's

253
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: a really only real good pitcher there. Yeah, But I

254
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: don't know, I don't. I don't know. I think that

255
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 2: that team is a piece or two. I saw they

256
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: brought up Jordan Lawler or whatever. To me, in the

257
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: coming years, that team is gonna be a wagon in

258
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: the nationalgu They're gonna be great. But as it currently stands,

259
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: those four teams, I think the Marlins are those are

260
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: the best of those four teams. I think they're more

261
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: well rounded and set up for success.

262
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: And we go back to this team, in particular, Hori Celariously,

263
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: they're gonna be without him for a little bit. Such

264
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: an interesting stat I don't know. It's just a statistical anomaly.

265
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: Fifteen and one, now.

266
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: Sixteen and one.

267
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: How do you explain that?

268
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, because it's not like the team is

269
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: better off without him in the lineup.

270
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: The team is better. So you're saying there's sixteen and

271
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: one when he's not in the lineup. I don't know.

272
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: I mean he makes the team better. I don't know.

273
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't I'd have to go look

274
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 2: at every single one of the games and who they're playing.

275
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not sure though, I'm really not sure.

276
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: And I guess we can go sort of into you

277
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: a little bit because you know it's your first season

278
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: doing a full time play by play. I've been listening

279
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: to you since you're doing spring training with both Dave

280
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: and Glenn doing the regular season great times. What do

281
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: you think you still have to improve on the most

282
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: as a play by play announcer.

283
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: That's a good question. I go the hardest thing for

284
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: a broadcaster, and I was always told this growing up,

285
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: and I still find it to be true, is I

286
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: go back and listen to myself and I'm so critical,

287
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 2: Like like I always tell myself, if I'm listening, do

288
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: people know what the ending is, what the score is,

289
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 2: who's on base, how many outs are? Because you know

290
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: it is radio right, you need to let people know

291
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: more often than not that you know, we're in the

292
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: bottom of the fifth and it's one nothing, and there's

293
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 2: two one and there's one out, And I think there's

294
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: probably a million things I can improve on. And I

295
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 2: tell people this all the time, Like I told myself

296
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: when I did this, I'm gonna be me. I'm not

297
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: gonna try to be anybody else. You know. I grew

298
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 2: up in New York, and I just I absolutely loved

299
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: Howie Rose and Gary Cohen and Ron Darley and Keith

300
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: Hernandez growing up in New York. Right, I was watching

301
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 2: New York sports television, Like, to me, those people are

302
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 2: my idols, and to me, like their ability to broadcast

303
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 2: for me is unattainable. And I'm gonna work my butt

304
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: off to get there. And I hope that one day,

305
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 2: fifty years down the road, if I'm so fortunate enough

306
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 2: to do this as somebody's gonna say the same thing

307
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 2: about me. But like, there's so much I can work on,

308
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 2: Like I pick out little things every morning. I'll go

309
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 2: back and listen to an inning or two of the

310
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: broadcast the night before, whether it's you know, I shut

311
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 2: up for a second. Nelly was saying something you don't

312
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: have to step on his toes. There was a foul ball,

313
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 2: like you can get to it in a second. I

314
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm really hard on myself. There's a million

315
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 2: things I could probably work on. I am totally open

316
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: into constructive criticism all the time, whether it's on Twitter

317
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: from another professional in the business. I will listen to anybody.

318
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 2: I am so fortunate that I've been given this opportunity,

319
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: and I do not think I know it all. I

320
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: just know that I'm a fan like everybody else. I

321
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: love the Marlins. I think it probably shows I get

322
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: excited when something good happens, like it's not fake, it's genuine.

323
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: I love rooting for the team.

324
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 6: This why go to the second decad? She does a

325
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 6: bob for Jesus Wow, his twelfth of the season. The

326
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 6: Marlins have scored six runs here in the bottom of

327
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 6: the fifth inning. They've done it on three homers.

328
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 2: And you know the other thing that I think about

329
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: this often, and I think subconsciously, those guys in that

330
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: clubhouse are the easiest group of guys to work for.

331
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to root for they are so nice, They're

332
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: so nice, Like I root so hard for them, and yeah,

333
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: like I know I'm a professional broadcaster, but I'm a fan,

334
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: Like I feel like I want to be the voice

335
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: of the fans of this community and the people that

336
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: root for this team and not like somebody that sees

337
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: himself is better than everybody else, because I don't like

338
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: I love broadcasting. I love the Marlins. I love those

339
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: guys in the clubhouse. They're so easy and fun to

340
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: root for, and I genuinely just want to see him

341
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 2: have success and like play past October first, I really do. Okay,

342
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: he's good. That was a great answer.

343
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: I guess the last thing we took about it a

344
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: little bit before we turn on the mic. Just the

345
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: data you get from you know, whether people listening through

346
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: MLB dot com, whether people listening through Game Bay, iHeartRadio

347
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: or AM radio. What are the sort of the statistics

348
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: that you get from for those.

349
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we average one point two million listeners a night. No,

350
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. We don't see

351
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 2: a ton of data what MLB can provide us as

352
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: like average listenership on the app. But what we do

353
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: know is that a majority of our listenership comes from

354
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: the MLB app, MLB dot tv, and a lot of

355
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: times what people can do is if you know, if

356
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: they're if they're watching Paul and whoever he's working with,

357
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: and vice versa, you can actually do the audio radio

358
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 2: overlay feature, and we listen to a lot of people

359
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: that tell us that they love switching back between the

360
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: TV broadcasts and radio, and you know, I guess getting

361
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: different insights and opinions, although I probably not a whole

362
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: lot different than what they're saying on TV. But I

363
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 2: think that's the trend in the industry though a majority

364
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 2: of people. I think there's a good chunk of people

365
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 2: in their vehicles that have accessed to serious XM and

366
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 2: it must be like a premium subscription to get the

367
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: home and road. It's it's not that terrestrial radio necessarily

368
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: is dying, but like there's just other platforms and means

369
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: to disseminate it. So we truly the listenership comes off

370
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: MLB dot TV, whether it's audio only, the radio only feature,

371
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: or radio overlay. You know that we get some folks

372
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: in their car listening on nine to four. It if

373
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: you crank the dial. You know, there's not many you

374
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: remember a dial. You have no idea, he has no idea?

375
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: What but right? I mean like that that was just

376
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: you know, you used to just put on nine. You

377
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: would turn the dial. I'm not a fossil, but like

378
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: there's just other easy ways to do that, Right, you

379
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: get in your car, you're doing what you're getting your phone. Okay,

380
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: you're you're putting on your phone. So there's only so

381
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: much we can see, but we do know the majority

382
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 2: of our listenership is on the app. There's someone serious XM.

383
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 2: The really cool thing. If you live in Miami or Broward,

384
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 2: Miami Data Broward County, you can listen on the iHeartRadio

385
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 2: app because it's geo fence, so as soon as you

386
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: go out into like you know, Orlando, you're not gonna

387
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 2: be able to get it. But if you're listening locally

388
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: on your phone, you can go to iHeartRadio dot com

389
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: you get the broadcast. So yeah, is that answer?

390
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: Know that that's interesting because every time I listen to

391
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: the radio is definitely in the car or you know,

392
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: the the hen I don't use MLB, Yeah you go, yeah,

393
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: because it's it's so laid if you use the app.

394
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: So that makes it a bit of a pin in

395
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: the butt about that too.

396
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: I don't we hear that a lot. It's interesting if

397
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 2: you watch the game on MLB dot tv and you

398
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 2: do the radio overlay, it's SYNCD up perfectly. But for

399
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 2: some reason. The radio only portion of the app is

400
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: forty five seconds too late, and that's probably within reason

401
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 2: because it has to go from here to the station

402
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: to MLB and then it gets disseminated. So I can understand,

403
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 2: but yeah, I don't.

404
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 4: It is a little bit Stephen, who's now took over

405
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 4: your former role there Just what have you seen from him?

406
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 4: Obviously he's been doing a great job with the YouTube.

407
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 2: He puts you up to this, Didney No, he puts

408
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 2: you up or checks in the mail? Isn't he?

409
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: No?

410
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 2: Show me your Venmo? He Venmo? They spoke. The elevator

411
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: has been great, he really has. He has a passion

412
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: for it. He loves similarly, he grew up in New

413
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 2: Jersey but listening to like Mike and the Mad Dog

414
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: Girl and you guy should have mine. I'm sure he

415
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: used to be a caller on Mike Francesca Sell so

416
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 2: he could he. I'll probably show you the clips. He's

417
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: been great though, he really has. He's done a great job.

418
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 2: There's a lot that he can still learn, and he will,

419
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 2: but he's he really has done a great job. And

420
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: it'll be really nice too. I tell people this all

421
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: the time. There's a really big leap. And I'm sure

422
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 2: I'll feel this too in the booth from your first

423
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: to second year. Right, So, like now Steve and I

424
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 2: can sit down in the off season and we can

425
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: go over things we need to take care of internally,

426
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: we can map things out better. Because he was hired

427
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: on opening day, he was here on opening day. It's

428
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 2: the first time I had met him. So yeah, So

429
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: like we can chat in the off season, we can

430
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 2: plan for what we want to do down the road,

431
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: and just inherently, as you get a little bit older

432
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: and you do it a little bit longer, you just

433
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: get a little bit more comfortable. Like the offseason, you

434
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 2: can just take a deep breath. You can look at

435
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 2: how the season went, and what an unbelievab year to

436
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 2: start teams five more I started than thirteen. There was

437
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: sixty two and one hundred exactly right, and thirteen with

438
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: Placido Polanco and Juan Pierre stole a six hundred based

439
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia with a five hundred. He stole third. He

440
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: stole third. You know what's funny, though I look back

441
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: on that all the time, I was like, what a

442
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: cool group of guys, though they like they were not good,

443
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: but they were older guys that found a way to

444
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: come back and make it like a one run game

445
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 2: of the eighth inning every night. But anyway, I tell Steve,

446
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 2: I'm like, you're so lucky, dude. They're five over and

447
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 2: a legitimate chance to go to the postseason in your

448
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: first year. Is a full time employee of the broadcast,

449
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: So he really has. He's done a great job and

450
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: it'll be fun to work with him.

451
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: And he saw Yelich come up that year, he saw

452
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: Jake Marisny come up there.

453
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 2: Real Muto debuted in Tampa. The next year, Yelich came

454
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: up in Colorado. Well, I think they changed one of

455
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 2: those hits. Actually, yeah they did. Was it was it

456
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 2: him and Ozuna that came up in Colorado a little

457
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 2: bit before, and then Ozuna was he Tampa as well

458
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 2: as the Mets at home? Is that right? I'll never

459
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 2: forget that throw he made late in the game in

460
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 2: New York, like the sixteenth inning. Oh that one was here.

461
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 2: But you remember the great play made at City Field.

462
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, I remember that one he threw out Kirk

463
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: newenheist at the play.

464
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: We could do this all day, but yeah, anyway, last

465
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: thing for me least and we spoke Kyle. I believe

466
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: it was the end of April and Louisa Rise is

467
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: just snubbed. I guess for the American National League Player

468
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: of the Month to Ronald Acunya.

469
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 2: And now Ronald Kunya and.

470
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: The guy who's playing right field tonight, Mookie Betts are

471
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: in are fighting for that nationally MVP award.

472
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 2: Who is your NLMVP?

473
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: Really?

474
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, he's a monster. He ably stolen bases you

475
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 2: have now if he finished, he's gonna finish forty and seventy,

476
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 2: which is ridiculous.

477
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: But Mookie Betts is.

478
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: Still more valuable. Ronald the Conia Junior is more valuable

479
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: this season. You can show me whatever statistic you want.

480
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 2: If I told you, if I put a blind resume

481
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 2: up for those two guys, I promise that both of

482
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 2: you would pick a Kunya one hundred times out of

483
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: one hundred. If I gave you guy in right field

484
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: that's gonna play that defense, hit forty bombs and swipe

485
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,959
Speaker 2: seventy bags if you would be you would be prosecuted

486
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 2: if you did not take that defense. Right is phenomenal

487
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: defense and right okay, but the game is predicated on offense.

488
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 2: Forty homers and seventy stolen bags, how many does Mookie have?

489
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: Mooki is an unbelievable player. The guy's worth a half

490
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: billion dollars. Okay, there's no I'm just saying, if I

491
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: put those two guys on paper and you turn away

492
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 2: a guy with forty homers and seventy yard seventy stolen bases,

493
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 2: you should be put in person and field.

494
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 5: Fair enough.

495
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 2: Canon unbelievable, and he's a spark plug. That's a guy

496
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 2: that's matured in Atlanta. You know, he was a little

497
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: immature a couple of years ago. He's really matured. Dude.

498
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: That's a great that's a great player. I enjoy watching him.

499
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we'll get to see him pretty soon when

500
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: they come to Miami. Yeah, it's gonna be tough, but anyway,

501
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: that'll be it for Kyle, for Kevin. Thank you so

502
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: much again, man, and good luck tonight on the in
