Speaker 1: We are joined today with Isaac Zood as always and

3
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: Eli Susman, our boss, Isaac, how are you man? And

4
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: we have a good podcast today, a very interesting one.

5
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and doing great.

6
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 3: We're recording this on March twenty. Third spring training games

7
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 3: have commenced. We're here waiting for game number five. Samuel

8
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 3: Contra should be pitching today. It's great to be talking

9
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 3: about major League Baseball games.

10
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: I guess, Eli, how are you? We're excited to have

11
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: you back on you for sure? They guess we will

12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: have on the most because it's awesome always to have

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: in then.

14
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, by my unofficial can this is either three or

15
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 4: four episodes of three. It must be something like that.

16
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 4: It's yeah recording this. As you said on Wednesday, it's

17
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 4: my last day before flying down to see you guys

18
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 4: uh in Florida, So predictably, I left all my packing

19
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 4: to the last minute, and I think today I have

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 4: three separate recording things going on, but more than happy

21
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 4: to make time for you guys. I love making bold

22
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 4: predictions as long as people forget about them later if

23
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 4: I'm wrong, you know, remember them when I'm right, for

24
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 4: them when I'm wrong. That's the hope. And so I

25
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 4: got some good stuff, and I'm sure you guys got

26
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 4: some great takes coming along too.

27
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: As always, like in subscribe to YouTube follows wherever you're

28
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast. And yes, next time you see Eli,

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: maybe on a nice Instagram picture on Isaac's Instagram with

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: a group Marlin's Twitter picture or something like that. But

31
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: let's just get right into it, Eli explain a little

32
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: bit how the rules of this works, and then well,

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: I guess we'll just go around the table and go

34
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: into these uh crazy predictions.

35
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 4: Then we I think just about every year we have

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 4: some sort of bold predictions content on here. This this

37
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 4: is the perfect point to do it, in the middle

38
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 4: of spring training, but yet far enough ahead of the

39
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: regular season where things aren't totally crazy yet a mix

40
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 4: of I guess what we've seen so far in camp,

41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 4: but more so than knowledge that we have about these

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 4: players entering the year. The ideal bold prediction is you

43
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 4: know something that is based in your observations and in

44
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 4: the stats, and you know something that you do like

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 4: see as a real possibility, but nothing that is obvious, right,

46
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 4: you want to be something, you can't be afraid to

47
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 4: get it wrong. And honestly, if you're putting out if

48
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: all your bold predictions are right, that probably means that

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 4: you're doing it wrong. You want to leave yourself. You

50
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: need to use your imagination a little bit to make

51
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: it fun. And that's that's what I do. I probably

52
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 4: lean a little too hard into that, going with stuff

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 4: that are relatively unlikely to happen. Everybody does it a

54
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 4: little bit differently, but we want this to be fun,

55
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 4: and we wanted to, you know, set standards that are

56
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 4: kind of, you know, outside of realistic expectations, and that

57
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 4: will it shows you exactly the crazy directions that the

58
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 4: season could go, because there's always a lot of surprises

59
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 4: that happened during the year. So we try to pick

60
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 4: out a few of those in advance, just based on

61
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 4: following the team as closely as we do.

62
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: All Right, So I think the way to start this,

63
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: We'll just start with I will just go to Elon,

64
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: then I'll go last. So Isaac, pretty bold prediction number one.

65
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: Now keep in mind, when it's bold, it's bold. So

66
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: you could either go, you know, the realistic route, or

67
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,839
Speaker 1: you could go bold you know, and just make one

68
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: out like no one's gonna expect this to happen, but

69
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: if it does, you predicted a bold prediction, you're muted.

70
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry about that.

71
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: Before I go into the first time, I think I'm

72
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: gonna really quickly mention an honorable mention, which would have

73
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: been that Leywin Diaz hit thirty home runs. I think,

74
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: just the way the roster is constructed at present, I

75
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: don't think it's gonna be, you know, very feasible for him,

76
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: but that would have been for sure bold prediction number one.

77
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: But so to start it off, I think mine is

78
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: gonna be the one I reset on stream, just you know,

79
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: just to make sure. I'm gonna be really adamant about

80
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: that one, because he looked good in the spring, in

81
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: the spring debut, and it's gonna be that Hayes whose

82
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: artist gonna be possibly the second best pitch on the team,

83
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 3: and he will for sure be second on the team

84
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: in innings pitched. He might be even second in strikeouts

85
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: if all goes well, I think he's gonna be in

86
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 3: the rotation all year long. And I I'm being cautiously

87
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: optimistic with a young.

88
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: Left hander for sure, all right, Ela up next door.

89
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: How should you do that?

90
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, just go get a little more into that. It's yeah,

91
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 4: I think everybody is on the same page that he's

92
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 4: gonna be better than he was last year. For people

93
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 4: that weren't following along closely three perfect innings in his

94
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: first Spring appearance, his velocity was really as high as

95
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 4: we've ever seen it. So that's that's pretty awesome. That

96
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 4: wasn't really his issue to begin with, though, you know,

97
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 4: his issue was his command. His issue was a lot

98
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 4: of things. Is questions about his sequencing, just a whole

99
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 4: lot of things that went wrong in order for you

100
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 4: to put up what six e er over a example.

101
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 4: And also, you know, early in his career he did

102
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 4: have some injury issues. Like I don't I just don't

103
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 4: see him as like a super safe bet to be

104
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: durable compared to some of the other guys that we

105
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 4: already have injury questions about in terms of actually having

106
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 4: you know, a rotation spot locked down though, that seems

107
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,119
Speaker 4: to be pretty clear that he'll get every opportunity to start.

108
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 4: And from that standpoint, I see what Isaac is saying

109
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 4: is saying about it for sure.

110
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 1: I will go I agree with Isaac's prediction because Pablo's

111
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: is a very injury prone player. You never know if

112
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: Rogers is gonna go down at some point, so Rizardo's

113
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: gonna rack up innings, and Eliezer is another injury prone guy,

114
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: so I could definitely see Lozardo rack up innings and

115
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: end up being second in Marlin's innings pitched. So let's

116
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: just move on right to the next one. ELI, you're

117
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: up next.

118
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 4: Well, I had to snipe a jazz Chishem junior one

119
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 4: because I had a feeling potentially you guys might have

120
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: some of those. I think he's gonna lead the Major

121
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: in stolen bases, or at least I see that as

122
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 4: a real possibility. He was not that far behind that

123
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: pace if you look at his rookie season, but of

124
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 4: course had a few nagging injuries, didn't get on base

125
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: very much in the first place. But you know, if

126
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: you factor in him improving as an offensive player overall

127
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 4: getting on base more. What he's shown in spring training

128
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 4: is a willingness to drop down bunts and run those out,

129
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 4: so those are more opportunities. Will he'll get on base,

130
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 4: but'll also be on first base, so those are just

131
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 4: extra stolen based opportunities. He's gonna have you look around

132
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 4: baseball who led the majors and steals last year. You

133
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 4: guys probably know this.

134
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: I think Marte was up there, that's right, that was him.

135
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: That was him.

136
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: But he's dealing with an injury himself early in spring.

137
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 4: He's thirty three years old. Him with Meryfield, those are

138
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 4: the guys that were on top of the majors last

139
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: year at forty plus. But those guys are getting older,

140
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 4: and across baseball is just not as much of an

141
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 4: emphasis to steal bases. Jazz, for whatever reason, is really

142
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 4: hooked on this. You know, every time he gets a chance,

143
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 4: I'll tell you that he's a thirty thirty, forty forty

144
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 4: player in an era where people only usually care about

145
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 4: the home runs. He's a rare exception that actually seems

146
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: determined to do this, and he's on a team where

147
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 4: he's I think he's gonna have the green light to

148
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 4: do it. So that's why I'm going with him.

149
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: That's that's a very good prediction. Actually, when you when

150
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: you think of it, my time to shine, my first one.

151
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: There are many I could show, but I'll go with

152
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: I guess a safer prediction here, Sandy will finish with

153
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: a five hundred record and he'll earn cy Young votes.

154
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: So he's and many people have made him a syng

155
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: dark horse contender.

156
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: I'm with that.

157
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: I think he could finish top five this season in

158
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: the NL. But surezers in there you have the groum.

159
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: Who else is it?

160
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: I mean Strasburgervie comes back, Sandy Corbyn Burns who was

161
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: a reigning champ at the moment. If I'm correct, I

162
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: think Sandy could be that guy. I mean, you have

163
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: a better offense this year, You're gonna getruns, You're gonna

164
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: get that run support. It's just it's time to make

165
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: it happen. And I think Sandy will finish with the

166
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: five hundred record as well and get the get those

167
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: young votes that he deserves. So I guess now we

168
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: go right back to Isaac or if anyone wants to

169
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: get into that one.

170
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 4: It's a trendy pick. There's a lot of people, even

171
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: outside of Marlin's coverage, that feel that I've noticed what

172
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 4: we've noticed, and that he gets better every single year.

173
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 4: You get you always find something to work on, whether

174
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 4: it's something really little or something as simple as just

175
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 4: getting stronger and throwing harder than basically anybody else the

176
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: side of Jacob de Gram. So yeah, that's on the

177
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 4: low end of bold. I wouldn't I wouldn't be particular

178
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 4: at all if that happens. Yeah, sure, that's that's a safe,

179
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 4: bold prediction.

180
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,599
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, we got to start safe, and

181
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: then I have some crazy ones towards the end that

182
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: will never happen. But yeah, Isaac gre.

183
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 3: Up, uh, you know, staying on the well, how about

184
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 3: de Gram yesterday never left, but yeah, we'll stay on

185
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 3: the On the subject of pitching, I'm a big proponent that,

186
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 3: you know, Bender should not open the year as closer,

187
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: but I will say that he finishes with thirty saves

188
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: for the Marlins this year, I think last Okay, yeah,

189
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: well he's I think they're gonna have a lot more

190
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: save opportunities this year. I think Flora will open up

191
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: at the closer you know, at the time, at the moment.

192
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think Bender has a strong opportunity to

193
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 3: not only just be in that closers role by you know,

194
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 3: mid season, probably maybe even before in May or June,

195
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: and he can get a lot of save opportunities and

196
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: he'll I think he'll succeed.

197
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. We had the same prediction. I

198
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: had that one written down as well, differently written, but

199
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: it was very similar. It's okay, I don't really care,

200
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: but yeah.

201
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 4: That's that's why we come up with with That's why

202
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 4: we come up with bonus or backup predictions exactly.

203
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 2: Yeah.

204
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: I have like ten of them written down. But Bender

205
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,599
Speaker 1: Bender is gonna be really good this year man, and

206
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: he impressed in that last spring training.

207
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: Gave me pitched.

208
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: If he keeps it up, I think you can get

209
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: that closure role. Personally, I want a more experienced closer

210
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: at the moment, like a Dylan Flora, who, although that

211
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: was last year's first year doing it, he was pretty

212
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: reliable when he when he did close. And you know,

213
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: I've been always looking at trade targets. There's not much

214
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: in the free agent market. Ser Jio Rome would just

215
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: got signed to the Mariner, So that's another option that

216
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: we could have had, you know gone.

217
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 2: There's Richard Rodriguez.

218
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: I don't really like that one. He used a lot

219
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: of the sticky stuff and that's affected him. And there's

220
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: Tony Watson. I don't really know what to think about

221
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: him as a closer. Really, when you look at the

222
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: reliever market, that's not much so Bender. It's to me,

223
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: it's either Bendo flor Bender Floro or Trevino from the

224
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: Oakland A's who was just a good option the team's selling.

225
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: So it makes a lot of sense to make that move.

226
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 4: I will say on Bender people that haven't followed super closely,

227
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 4: he's he's got this change up that he feels more

228
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 4: confident in than he had last year, and so what frankly,

229
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 4: when he goes wrong, when things go bad for him,

230
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter lefty righty or is that pitch type.

231
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 4: I just feel it was a little inconsistent as Ear

232
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 4: went on. I don't know if this totally changes things,

233
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 4: but definitely kind of raises the floor on him. If

234
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 4: he has three pitches that he trusts, I mean, that's

235
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 4: gonna prevent that's gonna make sure that he definitely sticks

236
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 4: in the majors and probably sticks in like high leverage opportunities.

237
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: I wish you were right. Yeah, I wouldn't go quite

238
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 4: in that direction, but I see where you're coming from

239
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 4: in that. So this one is you did mention transactions

240
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: a little bit in mine is related to that one.

241
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 4: I have my guy Brian Anderson getting traded before the

242
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 4: end of the season, and so the timing of this

243
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 4: pot is pretty good because I think there is an

244
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 4: outside chance of a deal happening before Opening Day. I

245
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 4: see this more as a trade deadline situation with BA

246
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 4: his contract situation. Obviously, he has not been extended. After

247
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty three season, he'll be eligible for free agency.

248
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 4: They were able to negotiate a salary for him this

249
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 4: year at like four and a half million dollars, But

250
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 4: entering this year, I mean, he's in a really weird role,

251
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 4: Like it's not totally clear exactly how he fits on

252
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 4: this current roster. He's gonna be like the primary third baseman,

253
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 4: but he's also getting reps in left field this spring

254
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 4: despite no experience there. And there's the question with his

255
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 4: shoulder coming back from shoulder surgery, how that may impact him,

256
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 4: especially at the plate. So if he's only gonna have

257
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 4: one more year of club control beyond this year, and

258
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 4: if they went out and got guys like Joey Wendall

259
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 4: and got out these corner outfield bats like so Lare

260
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 4: and Avash, there's only so many spots, you know, to

261
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: plan your lineup around. It seems to me, that's my

262
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 4: reading of the situation that regardless of how the season goes,

263
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 4: you know, especially if it goes badly and if they're

264
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 4: in last place at the deadline, then I think it's

265
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 4: a more clear cut situation where they give him to

266
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 4: a contending team, But I also see like some more

267
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 4: unconventional situations where if it just turns out that some

268
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 4: of these other bats in the lineup are producing better

269
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 4: than he does, or if if there's just there's just

270
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 4: a last scenarios where they could actually be in the

271
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 4: mix in contending at middle of the year. But also

272
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 4: see a scenario where the roster would make more sense

273
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 4: without him, you know, flipping him to address another position

274
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 4: or another type of player. It seems like they made

275
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 4: that they kind of tip their hand on how they

276
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 4: feel about him last year as soon as Kim Nang arrived,

277
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 4: and as much as it'd be cool to have him

278
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 4: around this organization for a long time, there are other

279
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 4: moves that they made, especially this offseason, kind of hint

280
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 4: to me that he's not exactly a cornerstone player in

281
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 4: their eyes and would probably benefit from a change of

282
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 4: scenery at some point, very very soon.

283
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that.

284
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 3: I wasn't like because I was wondering, does this mean

285
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: that they're not in contention when at the time of

286
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 3: the trip.

287
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: But you know, either way, you think that they're.

288
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think either way it's a very obvious one.

289
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 4: If they're out of the race. It's just that you

290
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 4: look at this. I was going through the exercise of

291
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 4: pet projecting how this roster will play out, and it

292
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 4: makes a little more sense at the start of the

293
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 4: year where they're going to have the extra roster spots

294
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 4: a twenty eight man group, but once the season gets

295
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 4: normal again and down at twenty six, there are going

296
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 4: to be injuries along the way. Really, the only thing

297
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,479
Speaker 4: that I see, the main thing that I see disrupting

298
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 4: this idea is if he gets injured, of course, and

299
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 4: if he's if he's not healthy, there's not going to

300
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 4: be a trade appetite in him. This is just something

301
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: very specific that was already on my mind. And then

302
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 4: of course the latest reporting from Craigmish on what that

303
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 4: came out yesterday was about how him in particular was

304
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 4: some a name that was included in trade talks with

305
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 4: the Blue Jays this offseason, so I see this more

306
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 4: likely as happening in the middle of the year. Yet

307
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: he also just at this moment it's his role is

308
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 4: changing and not for the better.

309
00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: From his perspective.

310
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that. I mean, you mentioned it.

311
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: They tried to trade the guy. Kim Mang really hasn't

312
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: shown much, you know, to want to extend a guy

313
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: like Brian Anderson. You know, you know, Isaac like likes

314
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: to say, I love the quote from Kim Mang. I

315
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: won't mention it now, but we know what the quote

316
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: is that. You know, it just makes sense at some point.

317
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: And if I'm correct, Eli with no more than this

318
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: than me. But Joey Wendell has another year of control

319
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: after twenty twenty two. If I'm correct, he has an

320
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: arbitration here, So yeah, makes a little more sense. And

321
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: that's where I'm gonna go with my next prediction with

322
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: Joey Wendall, which is Joey wenda will lead the Miami

323
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: Marlins and hits this season. Brian Anderson is an injury

324
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: prone player. I think Joey one was gonna get a

325
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: lot of time at third, and they really have played

326
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: Brian Anderson in the outfield as well. And I told

327
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: you I would go bold, and I think this is

328
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: pretty bold to see Wendell leading the Marlins and hits.

329
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts on that one? And then

330
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: we'll move on right to Isaac.

331
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: I love that one.

332
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: Wow, that was my favorite one so far. I think

333
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 3: it's it's the perfect you know, coming of bold and realistic.

334
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: It's extremely possible that if Wendell is starting one hundred

335
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: and forty games, whether it's at third, short or second,

336
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 3: you can you can rock.

337
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: Up some hits.

338
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 3: And that's possible just because of one of the defensive

339
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: versatility as well as his ability to hit. And you

340
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 3: would assume, you know, he's gonna get most of those

341
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 3: starts against right hand and pitching, maybe even some against lefties.

342
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 2: So I love that one. Kevin well done.

343
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a very interesting one, just because you know,

344
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 4: even with the Rays, even when he was an All

345
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 4: Star last year, he wasn't exactly an everyday starter. So

346
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: this would be it definitely falls under the bold category.

347
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 4: But of course when he was in the line of abuse,

348
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 4: it was really good and he does a lot of

349
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 4: things that even at this stage of his career. He

350
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: is going to be what thirty two for most of

351
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 4: this year, that you think he could age gracefully and

352
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 4: continue doing what he has done, if not half his

353
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 4: best season yet. That's a really interesting one. Good job.

354
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and not only that, Isaac mentioned that the guy

355
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: could play almost a whole infield, so you would be

356
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: placed in different spots and you would get a lot

357
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: of opportunities to play. And especially you know, we have

358
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: so many log jams and make a couple of trades,

359
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: you know, for example, Ba gets traded, Aguilar gets traded.

360
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: Your infield is a lot more solidified with Wendel, and

361
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: then you have Rojas, a shore jazz at second, and

362
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: then you have Leoan at first, So then that would

363
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: be the definite infield, and you would have Birdie who

364
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: you could just platoon, you know, when there's an off

365
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: DA for one of these guys. So I think Wendo's

366
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: definitely gonna get a chance. He's an All Star too,

367
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: he was an All Star last season, so it makes

368
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. And Isaac, let's move on.

369
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 3: This one will be sort of similar to your Samuel

370
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 3: contro one, but I'm going to add one more person

371
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 3: to it. I think both Sanuel Contra and Pablo Lopez

372
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 3: finished top five and say Young voting at the end

373
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: of the year.

374
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 2: He got mine too.

375
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, Yeah, I think Sandy will have another you know,

376
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 3: knock on what a two hundred two hundred season, Pablo,

377
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 3: if you just pitches one sixty in one hundred sixty innings,

378
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 3: that is, he's gonna be there right there for the

379
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: Saw Young Award.

380
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 2: So I think both of them finish in the top five.

381
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: It looks like great minds think of like I hadn't

382
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: finishing top three for my prediction, but I mean still

383
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: pretty bold in general.

384
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, with Wheeler, with Birds, with Woodruff, with the Graham,

385
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 3: with Schurezer, there's just too many guys where it would

386
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 3: be top three. I think top five is a little

387
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: bit more real. I was gonna say top seven, but

388
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: this is bold prediction. Let's go top five.

389
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's efficiently bold for sure. When we the version

390
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 4: of bold predictions we did last year was me and Arum,

391
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 4: and both of us had very similar ones about Pablo

392
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 4: as well. We both thought, actually Pablo could leap frog

393
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 4: Sandy in the rotation, and it was kind of sword

394
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 4: on the cusp of that before his injury, but that

395
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 4: obviously changed things. So yeah, that's it's pretty bold. I'll

396
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 4: give you that one for sure. With Pablo, ultimately, aside

397
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 4: from his health, there's still the potential leap that he

398
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 4: can make kind of right on how his breaking ball

399
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 4: is coming along, because it just has never been a

400
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 4: really great pitch for him, that curveball, and he's thrown

401
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 4: it a little bit more as he's gone along than

402
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 4: he used to. But unless it's something that gets him

403
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 4: swings and misses at at some point, I think his

404
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 4: ceiling is a little bit limited. With Sandy, I love

405
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 4: his breaking ball, and that's what makes him a complete

406
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 4: pitcher on top of what he has with his with

407
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 4: his change up and his sinker and all that stuff.

408
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 4: And with Pablo as when you face especially not just

409
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 4: multiple times in the game, but when you face opponents

410
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 4: several times during the course of the season, I think

411
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 4: his he could prove us wrong. He'll have to prove

412
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 4: me wrong. As a guy that will he'll have to

413
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 4: be more. They'll just have to be a better pitch

414
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 4: for him and a pitch that uses more often if

415
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 4: he's going to sustain being like a top of the

416
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 4: rotation guy for a whole year.

417
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, not only that, it's I would say it's bold

418
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: because Pablo barely I mean pitched what half a season,

419
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: we could say, and then the final game of the season,

420
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: so he was out for a good amount of time, saying,

421
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, this guy's injury prone. So for Pablo to

422
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: you know, finished top five in the SI Young if

423
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: it happened, that is a huge, huge leap frog season

424
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: and it's a comeback Player of the Year type season

425
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: when you know he had a great first half, he

426
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: had to start in Wrigley, he had the ninth strikeout

427
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: game with Atlanta, he had a lot more starts. It

428
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense to make that prediction. And

429
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: then now we move on to mister Eli Sussman with

430
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: the next prediction here, which I'm excited to hear.

431
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 2: So this is the third one for Eli.

432
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, number three. So my first two were Jazz to

433
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 4: lead the majors and stolen bases and Brian Anderson to

434
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 4: get traded before the ends of the twenty twenty two season.

435
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 4: So going in a much different direction here, I have

436
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 4: the Marlins winning their season series against the Braves, and

437
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 4: I think that's bold because they have not been the

438
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 4: Braves in eight years. The last time they did this

439
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 4: was in twenty fourteen, when they had more wins and

440
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 4: losses against the Braves. It's been a super lapsided rivalry,

441
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 4: but more so in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteenth than it

442
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 4: has been the last two years. Kind of like trending

443
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 4: a little bit in the right direction. Braves, of course,

444
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 4: reigning World Series champs. There's just a few little things

445
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 4: that are kind of falling in their laps. One of

446
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 4: them just being the schedule, because they were supposed to

447
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 4: open up against the Braves and now instead they tucked

448
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 4: that series at the very end of the year. So

449
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 4: even if you're the opinion that the Braves are going

450
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 4: to be a lot better than the Marlins overall that

451
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 4: series at the end, in that case, if the Braves

452
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 4: already have like a postseason spot clinched UF, it matters

453
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 4: a lot less to them than it might to the

454
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 4: Marlins at that point. Little things like that, But just

455
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 4: simply about the Marlins, of course, just being a better

456
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 4: team now than they have been in any of the

457
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 4: four previous seasons. Just a lot of little things going

458
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 4: in their direction. Freddy Freeman, of course, no longer being

459
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 4: a Brave, and you can say that their new first baseman,

460
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 4: Matt Olsen, is actually a better all around player than Freeman,

461
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 4: but he's not a Marlins killer, at least not yet.

462
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 2: So I will.

463
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, So in my mind's that's that's something that I'll

464
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 4: It's hard to be any better in against the Marlins

465
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 4: than Freddy Freeman was in recent years. So even if

466
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 4: Olsen is just as talented, I think that's some a

467
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 4: place where all of a sudden, the gap between these

468
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 4: teams is a little bit closer. I think the Marlins can.

469
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 4: They played nineteen times this year, so this is for

470
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 4: the Marlins to beat the Braves at least ten times

471
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 4: this season.

472
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: Now that's a great prediction because over the last two years,

473
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we look at twenty twenty one, the Marlins

474
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: actually won a series against the Braves. That was at

475
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: the very start of the four game series. If I'm correct,

476
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: they took three out of the four. In twenty twenty,

477
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: they put up a good fight against the Braves overall.

478
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: I mean the Chad Walla kitt that pretty much helped

479
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: the Marlins playoff chances if we remember that, and then

480
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: although they got swept in the playoffs against the Braves,

481
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: they put up a pretty good fight in Game one,

482
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: if I'm correct, I mean they put up five runs

483
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: and then they blew that lead. Miami's been a team

484
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: that's been able to put up a pretty good fight

485
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: against the Braves. And then in twenty twenty one again

486
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: the Pablo game where he hit Akunya by accident, by accident,

487
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: I'll repeat, and they lost to with zero. That was

488
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: definitely a heartbreaker. But Miami's been able to put a

489
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: pretty good fight up against the Braids. And I don't

490
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: know if Isaac has anything to say about that.

491
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think also that's something that's one of

492
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 3: the little things that goes in their favor. I don't

493
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 3: know if Miami how much Miami plays them until he returns,

494
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 3: but a Kunya is obviously going to start the season

495
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 3: on the il Oh. That's another thing that the Braves

496
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 3: will have to to navigate through, is his presence not

497
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 3: being there in the lineup. And yeah, like you I said, Braves,

498
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 3: more than like we will already have a playoff spot

499
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 3: secured by that last series and hopefully Miami will be

500
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 3: playing for something, and you know, the Braids are just

501
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 3: gonna roll over.

502
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: So that is bold.

503
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 3: I don't see that happening, but that'd be good. If

504
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 3: it does happen, then Miami had a great.

505
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 4: Season for people that want the specifics on the schedule.

506
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 4: First series against the Braves is April twenty second to

507
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 4: the twenty fourth. Then what else do we get? Then

508
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 4: it's May twentieth to the twenty second, four or more

509
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 4: than I'm looking for here. All the others are after

510
00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 4: the All Star break.

511
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 3: It looks like there's an outside chance that Akunya could

512
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 3: be back for that second series in late May.

513
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead, getting yeah, I may go on. I'm

514
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: going in the same lines as Eli here. So the

515
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: Miami Marlins will have the best record with it against

516
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: the division this season. So there's the Mets, there's the Braves.

517
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: Eli said they would beat the bold predictions beating the Brave.

518
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: The Phillies bullpen isn't that good at all this year yet,

519
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean, all they've done is ad years Familia. The

520
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: Nationals are building. Besides one Soto Nelson Cruz, they don't

521
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: really scare me whatsoever. I mean, Miami really has a

522
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: chance to beat up on the Nationals. They have a

523
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: chance to beat up on the Phillies because Nampoor his Stilaire,

524
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: you're going to a hit a friendly ballpark with Citizens

525
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: Bank Park. You have a visile there too. Jesus Sanchez,

526
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: you have like nice slugging powers and Phillies pitching. Besides

527
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: what Zach Wheeler and a okay Aaron Nola. He had

528
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: an okay season last year. I could see Miami beating

529
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: up on those teams. I think the Mets will be

530
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: a tougher challenge actually the Mets this season. I mean

531
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: Marte Kanna, Sures or Wheelers on that no Wheelers on

532
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: the Phillies' it's a very good team. But if Miami

533
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: could get a couple wins against the Mets this season,

534
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: because we all know the Mets, they're gonna do what

535
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: they usually do best, which is just crash and burn

536
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: towards the end of the year. We've seen that a lot,

537
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: and then the Braves. The Miami Marlins usually in the

538
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: past couple of years have put up a good fight.

539
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: So I believe the Marlins will have the best record

540
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: against the division this season. And something we reiterated in

541
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one was that they usually played pretty well

542
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: against the division. So that's my third one.

543
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure, right, Yeah, it's hard to narrow it

544
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 4: down to enough characters to put on the screen. But

545
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 4: you're saying they're going to do better against NLA'ST teams

546
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 4: than any of the other nleast teams are going to

547
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 4: do in the division.

548
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 2: So I got it.

549
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 4: I get it, which I mean you could go Boulder

550
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 4: and actually expect them to win the division, but that

551
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 4: there's separate things. So in saying that, well insane that

552
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 4: this is almost half the schedule is their games in

553
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 4: the division. It's seventy six games, they play eighty six

554
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 4: becaust everybody else. So you're kind of implying that they're

555
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 4: going to do really well in the division and they're

556
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 4: going to Yeah, they're going to crash against all the

557
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 4: other teams, and there are other matchups no, no, no go.

558
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: Over All this season, I've around a good record prediction,

559
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: but when it comes to this vision, it's a weird one.

560
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 4: But I mean, yeah, I just want to make sure

561
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 4: you understand the math behind this. If you think they're

562
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 4: going to have the best record in their division compared

563
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 4: to any other and at least team in their division,

564
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 4: then you're expecting the team to have a really good

565
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 4: season overall. It's hard to go one way or the other.

566
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 4: It's hard to be great in the division and not

567
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 4: be at least pretty good overall.

568
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 2: Right, especially, I'm just saying they'll play.

569
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: They'll they'll do better this year in the division that

570
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: they've done in past years when you really look at it,

571
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 1: because this this division is probably the hardest one besides

572
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: what the n L. The NL West with the Dodgers

573
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: and the and the Giants and the Padres, the Marlins

574
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: are going to do pretty good in the nlast this season.

575
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: I have a feeling, and they usually beat up on

576
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: the scenes on these teams pretty well, especially the bottom

577
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: teams like the Phillies in the Nationals, which they've done

578
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: a pretty good job at at easily winning those games

579
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: except the one where ross att Wiler started last season

580
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: and the Nationals absolutely destroyed us. But I think they'll

581
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: do get into division this season. Isaac grew for the

582
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: fourth one.

583
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: Al Right, guys, I don't want my head to be

584
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 3: you know, showed off.

585
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 2: Ury press Ury Prez makes at least one pitching appearance

586
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 2: in the big leagues this year.

587
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 3: Now there's a different There's like different scenarios where that

588
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 3: may happen, whether Miami is like going for a playoff

589
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 3: spot late in the year or they're just out of it.

590
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 3: And Ury had a dominant season which made it all

591
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 3: the way up to Double A. It's not entirely far

592
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 3: fetches far back, but it's not entirely you know, out

593
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 3: the window that he could possibly conceivably, potentially hypothetically make

594
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 3: one one start. I would assume in September perhaps, and

595
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 3: it Mimy does make it into October, that would be

596
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 3: someone that they could use, you know, to imagine him

597
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 3: and Sandy the twin towers of starting right hand and

598
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 3: starting pitching in the marlinsation.

599
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 4: I love this.

600
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: It's very unlikely, but but I love it. I mean,

601
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: the guy's gonna have a huge jump this year. I

602
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: think he'll make it the double eight. He's untouchable. They're

603
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: not gonna move him. So we we know we have

604
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: a young, young pitching prospect, and he probably would be

605
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: the youngest guy to make his debut. Right he's what now,

606
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: he's eighteen. He would be nineteen when he makes his debut,

607
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: So probably the youngest guy to make his debut on

608
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: on the Marlins. If I'm correct, Eli would probably know,

609
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: but you are direct.

610
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 4: And currently the only teenager to play major league games

611
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 4: for the Marlins was Edgar Renteria.

612
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: That was way deck and yes, first year.

613
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 4: Six or something, so Uri would be a few weeks

614
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 4: I think younger than he was at the time. We

615
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 4: know that they absolutely love him, as you mentioned, but

616
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 4: I think that means about loving him long term, not

617
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 4: loving them as an option for them this year. So

618
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 4: he finished last year at Hya and he did pretty

619
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 4: well after absolutely dominating at Lowa. It's yeah, this is

620
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 4: this is really bold. This is about as bold as

621
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 4: Alex car I guess your previous one about the anlast records.

622
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 4: It's it's hard for me to imagine this, no matter

623
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 4: how well he pitches. But we'll see.

624
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 3: Remember in a twenty thirteen season, a young kid, Jose Fernandez,

625
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 3: he had finished his season just like URRII did at Hya,

626
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 3: and he completely skipped the double entripl a level and

627
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 3: made the open day rotation. That was sort of about

628
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 3: a necessity because Henderson and Nathan Valde went down with

629
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 3: injuries right before the season started, so they needed to

630
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: do that. But you know, it's like I said, it's

631
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 3: a possible if someone goes down, I think Yuri would

632
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 3: be one of the obviously just had from Meyer, he'd

633
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:04,479
Speaker 3: be one of the guys up.

634
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: And not only that, Fernandez da Woin Rokie of the

635
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: Year that season, so that's year he.

636
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 2: Was twenty years old.

637
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 3: I know URI's a little bit younger, but Jose fernend

638
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 3: is not pitch a single inning a double A.

639
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: And if you look at Krik Sweet when he said untouchable,

640
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: he put him in the lights of Josh Johnson and

641
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: Jose Fernandez. He put him in the same paragraph as

642
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,479
Speaker 1: those two guys, which is which says how much how

643
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,719
Speaker 1: highly the Marlins think of a guy like Eerie Perez.

644
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: So that was prediction number four from Isaac. Let's go

645
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: to number four from Eli.

646
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 4: This is my boldest one. It's very timely because we're

647
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 4: recording this just an hour or so after some news

648
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 4: about him. I am six doh Sanchez re emerging right

649
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 4: around the All Star break and sticking in the Marlins

650
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 4: rotation the entire second half of the season. I think

651
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 4: we get a full half season of good six too,

652
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 4: starting roughly kind of on par with what we saw

653
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty where he's like a legit mid rotation starter,

654
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 4: if not even better even on this Marlin seam, and

655
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 4: he's going to be a critical piece to whatever they

656
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 4: do the rest of the season. I think realistically, there's

657
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 4: not much of a path for him to come up

658
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 4: to majors anytime before June. He's not throwing at all

659
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 4: right now, so he used to do a full throwing progression,

660
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 4: and the news today was actually that he had been

661
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 4: formally optioned down to the Miners. That's kind of just

662
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 4: a formality because we knew it wasn't gonna be ready

663
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 4: for the start of the season. He's probably gonna go

664
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 4: on the il for a long time. But I think

665
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 4: when he comes back, he's going to come back right,

666
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 4: and he's going to come back as one of the

667
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 4: better pitchers in the entire organization, which he was before

668
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 4: this injury. It's a shoulder injury. It's very tricky. There

669
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 4: are some cases of guys being totally derailed by this

670
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 4: and every coming back. But for the people writing him

671
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,239
Speaker 4: off entirely in regards to this season, I don't think

672
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 4: that's accurate. I don't think that's reasonable. Just as this

673
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 4: might be a little unreasonable on the positive side, with

674
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 4: him as a starter, with him truly sticking for an

675
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 4: extended period of time, That's what I'm going with because

676
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 4: I am I just can't speak highly enough about this

677
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 4: kind of talent that he has, specifically as a starter.

678
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 4: Even if you're concerned about his durability, he is. He

679
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 4: is a starter. He's not a reliever. He is going

680
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 4: to be a good starter whenever he's healthy again. So

681
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 4: I'm just betting on him being healthy again for the

682
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 4: second half of the season, so being full half season

683
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 4: of him in the Marvelins rotation second half.

684
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 2: Of course, let's hope Craigmish doesn't doesn't hear that one.

685
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 3: I'm sure he'd be disagreeing with you there, but no,

686
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 3: I like, I think you're right.

687
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,479
Speaker 2: I agree with one hundred percent of the starter thing.

688
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 3: He's definitely he's got the capability, he's got the command,

689
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 3: he's got everything that a young starter needs.

690
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 2: I'm not never been too worried about the durabilities, just

691
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 2: the health.

692
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 3: So if he does come back, and if he sticks

693
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 3: in that rotation with the whole second half, that would.

694
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 2: Be that'd be mighty awesome.

695
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: That shows a lot and that shows how well his

696
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: development this time went around or his recovery that went

697
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: and especially if he puts up night numbers too, like

698
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: he did in twenty twenty when he first started.

699
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: Because he was pretty cute.

700
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: He showed a lot of nice flashes in twenty twenty,

701
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: especially in that playoff game.

702
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 2: I mean, he was pretty good.

703
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: Besides, you know, just one a couple of mishaps there.

704
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: But moving on to my prediction, I think I'm gonna

705
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: go minor leagues as well. I think in a way

706
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: we all did. I say Max Meyer gets to call

707
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: up at some point in the season and makes ten

708
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: starts for the Miami Marlins.

709
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 2: It's a little bit.

710
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: It's it's a little bit of the safe man, not bold,

711
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: but it's it's a it's a it's one that I

712
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,719
Speaker 1: think happened by the ten starts he showed ten starts.

713
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: That's depending how Eddie, Addie Cabrera, Lozardo and Alias are.

714
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: Because one of them, I think we'll left get will

715
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: be left out from correct, Yeah, because you have Sandy Pablo, Trevor,

716
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: Aliezer and LOZARDA one of them is going to get

717
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: injured and Maximier is gonna come up for Eddie Caberra,

718
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: so it makes sense for Maximit to make make those

719
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: ten stars. And I think he's gonna do pretty damn

720
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: good because from what Craig Mish said on the podcast,

721
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: the guy's ready to go. I mean, he wants to

722
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: be in the major leagues and he wants to.

723
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 2: Get on that mound.

724
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: Pitch seven innings, get twelve plus strikeouts, is what Craig said.

725
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm not going to quoe him exactly, but that was

726
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: around the lines of what he said. I'm really excited

727
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: about this guy, and he pitched another perfect spring training

728
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: game two days ago. Hopefully I get to see him

729
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: soon on Saturday when you guys are listening to this

730
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: on audio. I don't know if this is coming out

731
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: early on YouTube, but Maximar is gonna make ten starts

732
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be really damn good. So any comments,

733
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: and then we'll move on to Isaac for his fifth

734
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: final prediction.

735
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 4: I think that that's bold. It's on the lower end

736
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 4: of both, but it is bold. That's certainly the over

737
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 4: on what people would expect right now. It's extremely likely

738
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 4: they're going to pitch in the majors this year, and

739
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 4: it's probably better than fifty to fifty that's going to

740
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 4: start at some point. In terms of reaching ten plus,

741
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 4: it speaks to the number of innings that he'll has

742
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 4: the green light to pitch over the course of the season.

743
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,479
Speaker 4: We don't know exactly what his enning's limit is. There's

744
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 4: probably some number in their mind that the Marlins don't

745
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 4: want him to go past this year. And this also

746
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 4: is just kind of in line with six oz, where

747
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 4: if you're going to reach that number, it probably means

748
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 4: that you're there for an extended period of time. You're

749
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 4: one of the top five guys on the team for

750
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 4: a period of time. So either that accounts for several

751
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 4: injuries going on or him just being awesome from the

752
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 4: very beginning. It's it's an interesting one.

753
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 2: There is.

754
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 4: I like it. I think it's fine. I think it's fine.

755
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: Kevin, all right, Isaac, you have any comments and then

756
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: you could go no, no comments like Eli just you know,

757
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: he described it perfectly.

758
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 3: My last prediction, it's not going to be that bold

759
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 3: is probably highly unlikely. Miguel Roe has wins the Gold

760
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 3: Glove for shortstops. I think that's a he's number one one.

761
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 3: He's been a finalist one time I believe. I think

762
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 3: that was in twenty twenty. The short season. I think

763
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 3: he's got the chances of how much he's going to play.

764
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if that.

765
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 3: Will translate to much Team six if he plays every

766
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 3: single day a short but I think he'll play enough

767
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 3: games he'll be the Storry shortstop for you know, majority

768
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 3: of the season, and it.

769
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: Mimi has any you know, resemblance of a relevant season.

770
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 3: I think that he'll be a finalist and he could

771
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 3: possibly win the Google Love for Shorts for nationally shortstops.

772
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: That's a good one because he I think he could

773
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: do it. But there's some damn good shortstops this year,

774
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: and I'll there's Trey Turner if if I'm correct, if

775
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: he's playing shortstop.

776
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 2: He's not that much trade Turner. I don't love his

777
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 2: shortstop so well. I like the prediction.

778
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 4: One can know well two contenders that are no longer

779
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 4: in his way, Javier Bias going to Detroit and Trevor

780
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 4: Story going to the Red Sox. Trevor Story is a

781
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 4: very good defensive shortstop as.

782
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 2: Well with the Rockies.

783
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, who else is even in his that's that's less

784
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 4: old than than breand was Brandon Crawford, Right, we.

785
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: Could consider Tatis if if when he.

786
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 4: Comes back he's gonna miss too much time, he's gonna

787
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 4: even if he does great, he.

788
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: Is he the second base?

789
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say Lindor is probably his biggest competition,

790
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 4: with Crawford right behind. Crawford's even older than Mickey rowe Is.

791
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 2: This is I like.

792
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I like it. So I think it's in

793
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 4: a good spot because he's been close before. He's also

794
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 4: at a point of his career where short stuff usually

795
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 4: don't get better deep into their thirties, but he has

796
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 4: that work ethic and he's gonna have that opportunity. I

797
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 4: think we'll see how deep we get into the year.

798
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 4: If maybe there's some decisions made about like platooning him

799
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 4: with Joey Wendell something, I wouldn't rule that out, but

800
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 4: I think I think this is still in a good

801
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 4: spot where he's gonna play enough to certainly qualify, and

802
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 4: we know his he pretty much is on a very

803
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 4: similar level to the other guys in the NL. All right, Eli,

804
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 4: your last prediction, Okay, So I think this is raining

805
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 4: back the boldness from my previous one. I have avisl

806
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 4: Garcia being the most valuable player on the team going

807
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 4: by like wins above replacement, I think he's going to

808
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 4: lead the team in war this year, which would basically

809
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 4: mean him being kind of a similar guy to what

810
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 4: he was in his career year at the pull up

811
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 4: exactly what year that was where he hit like three

812
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 4: point fifty.

813
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 2: For the White Sox.

814
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 4: Don't I wouldn't necessarily put him on with that expectation

815
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 4: of like raking this year. Yeah, so it was all story.

816
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 4: He was twenty seventeen with the White Sox when he

817
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 4: had that eight to eighty five ops, and that wasn't

818
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 4: he wasn't even playing every day, but he was. He

819
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 4: put to what four and a half wins above replacement

820
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 4: that year. So if he puts up that same number

821
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 4: and everything is the same with Marlins as it was

822
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 4: last year, then that'd be good enough to like make

823
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 4: this right. What this is kind of saying is as

824
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 4: much as we like love Sandy and love Trevor and

825
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 4: those guys are capable and probably Sandy's even more likely

826
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 4: to get this honor than obviously Ail, is that, no

827
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 4: matter how confident we feel about a guy's durability at

828
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 4: any given time, pitching is really difficult to predict. I

829
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 4: don't think it's a lock that Sandy makes thirty three starts. Again,

830
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 4: it's just really hard to do. And sometimes pitchers are

831
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 4: handled more carefully than ever before. So and just looking

832
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 4: up and down the lineup as well. You know, it's

833
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 4: a lot of good players. I don't know if any

834
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 4: of them realistically have like the all around ceiling that

835
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 4: AFI has, except for maybe Jazz if he like puts

836
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 4: it all together. So like Jazz, Sandy are probably the

837
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 4: biggest contenders here over obvious hil Garcia, but I think

838
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 4: he's This is one of the least popular moves the

839
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 4: whole offseason, I'd say, I mean, it was their biggest

840
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 4: free agent investment for a guy that was good last year.

841
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,240
Speaker 4: But I've said, you know, several years removed from actually

842
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 4: being an All Star.

843
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 2: This is.

844
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 4: But this also accounts for the fact that he won't

845
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 4: have to play center field because that's not going to

846
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 4: serve him well, it's not going to serve the team well.

847
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 4: It seems like at this point in spring training that

848
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 4: Haesu Sanchez is gonna get allot of those reps. And

849
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 4: I'm also the minds that they would still make a

850
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 4: trade for centerfield during the year, so they put av

851
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 4: in right now, right field, it seems to be the plan,

852
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 4: and that's a position he played really well last year,

853
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 4: so he put all together, I think he's gonna be

854
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 4: a good defender if they keep him in right and

855
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 4: that he can be even a better hitter than he

856
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 4: was last year. Like he's a unique guy. He has

857
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 4: some bad habits as a hitter, but I think more

858
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 4: often than not, his talent outweighs that. So as long

859
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 4: as he's durable, I think this is within reach for him.

860
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 3: I think one of the guys that would you know,

861
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 3: compete with that title would be Brian Anderson if he

862
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 3: plays every day, because Brian Nanson just accumulates so much

863
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 3: you know, war statistic and always you know, last year

864
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 3: and is really bad, you know, not good season. He

865
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 3: didn't play a lot. He accumulated one point three war

866
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 3: wins above replacement. So I think he would be the

867
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 3: guy because yeah, I think he would be the guy

868
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 3: that would compete with Avi for a team of MVB.

869
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 3: And I guess that Pablo also and Sandy the pitches

870
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 3: that you mentioned, but I think, yeah, the safe bet

871
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 3: would be either BA if he plays every day.

872
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,959
Speaker 2: Or obviously I like the I like the bull predict.

873
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: I like it, and I'm very scared to get my

874
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: last one. I ask so many of them I could give,

875
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: you know, I'll give the honorable mention to a Visael

876
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: I said he would hit thirty five bombs fifteen in Miami.

877
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: I think I've said down before, but I'm gonna go

878
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: with this one. I'm gonna get my head chopped off

879
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: on Twitter for sure for this one because it's never

880
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: gonna happen in a million years. And I'm gonna put

881
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: horror h Selaire is gonna be a Gold Glove candidate.

882
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: Kill me right now, say whatever you want. Horseelaire will

883
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: be a Gold Glove finalist for the Marlins this season.

884
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 2: That's not bold. That just doesn't even make sense how.

885
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 3: Because he's not gonna play a lot of outfield and

886
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 3: he's the horrible exactly all right, Okay, that's it's bold

887
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 3: a tech Yeah.

888
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is really cool. So the plan right now,

889
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 4: this is based on who was reported damn on NLB

890
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 4: dot com. That would so Avi and right, it seems

891
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 4: like Solaria is going to play left, which is you

892
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 4: know it's an easier position. It's also one that he

893
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 4: hasn't played in a bunch of years too, Like he's

894
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 4: been exclusively fielder sixty career.

895
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: Times in left field, sixty career games in left field. Yeah,

896
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: I find that extremely bold that he will be an

897
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: animal gold Glove fund.

898
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's bold. It's it's probably the boldest that

899
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 4: we had so far. This might be bolder than Yuri

900
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 4: pitching in the big leagues because like, I don't think

901
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 4: he has this, Like it's like it's not him, like

902
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 4: he would have to just he doesn't have the ability

903
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,479
Speaker 4: to be like a gold Glove caliber fielder. I don't

904
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 4: think unless you know something or unless you're just putting

905
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 4: your trust in him because of Cuban pride.

906
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm just putting all my trust in him. I'm putting

907
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: all my trust in him at the moment. And I

908
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: was watching Danny Alvarez extra ocvideo and he said he's

909
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: been practicing playing in all the outfield spots. So I'm confident.

910
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm confident it's not gonna happen. But I'm pulling for

911
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: this guy to hopefully have a good defensive season. Improvemny

912
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: wrong because it would be definitely bold prediction.

913
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,280
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, sorry about.

914
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 4: The composition of this team and the Marlins achieving their goals,

915
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 4: it would help a lot with the center field situation

916
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 4: if you had a good defensive left fielder exactly. Again,

917
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 4: the play does seem to be, of course, for him

918
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 4: to d h quite a bit this year regardless, So

919
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 4: even if he plays great when he isn't left field,

920
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 4: I'm not one hundred percent sure he'll even be eligible

921
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 4: for the goal Glove.

922
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: Interesting, we'll see, interesting, We'll see. Well.

923
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 2: Hey, that other prediction, the only other prediction to share.

924
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you did, you know, win that award, you

925
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 3: would be competing with Aviy for for Winter bub replacement

926
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 3: title on the team.

927
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 2: So that's how I keep in mind.

928
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: The only other prediction I think it's fair enough to

929
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: share here is another trade one, and it's that I

930
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: think before opening Day Aguilar will be dealt either to

931
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: Cleveland or to the Seattle Mariners.

932
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 2: I don't know why.

933
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: I like the fit of the Mariners regular. That's another

934
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: good one. I think at this point we could just

935
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: shout out both predictions here because why not. But I

936
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: think that's another good one. I mean, that's gonna solve

937
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: so many log gems. If you trade one of the

938
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: first basemen AGA's on the expiring contract. I love agi Man,

939
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a hard install of the team. He's

940
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: a great captain, and everyone loves him in the locker room.

941
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: He's great to the media. But if you trade Aggie,

942
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: you can finally put lay when at first consistently Cooper

943
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: will be your DH, and then you will have a

944
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 1: definite outfield, which is why you could put Johan left field.

945
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: You could put Jesus Sanchez in the center, and then

946
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: you have a Visayo in right field. So and then

947
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 1: when you look at the fits for Aguilar Seattle, he

948
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: could get some DH time, some first base time, and

949
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 1: then when you if you throw him in the Cleveland

950
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: same situation, he's gonna be probably one of their better

951
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: hitters on that team. For your Cleveland team, that's kind

952
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: of trying to rebuild, but that's the same time they're

953
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: trying to stay decently competitive stuff Shane bie Or. They

954
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: still have a pretty good rotation, so some things to

955
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: get in there.

956
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 4: I it's a tough seale at this stage of the offseason,

957
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 4: Like I was some and I thought it was pretty

958
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 4: obvious that they should trade Aggie before the lockout, but

959
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,720
Speaker 4: based on the other moves they made in the direction

960
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 4: that they're heading, and you know, it's hard to justify

961
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 4: trading a really good hitter if you're trying to contend,

962
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 4: even if it's a weird fit based on what they're

963
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 4: building at the moment, which it definitely is, to take

964
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 4: any sort of step back without getting another major league

965
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 4: player in return at a position that makes more sense,

966
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 4: I'd be really surprised.

967
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 2: That is bold, for sure.

968
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, if any of you guys have any other bold predictions,

969
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 1: to shoot them out, because now is the time these

970
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 1: were still recorded and then we can talk about these later.

971
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 4: Yeah.

972
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 3: The last one that I'll mention it sort of contradicts

973
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 3: one of my earlier bold predictions in July. On July

974
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 3: twenty nine, the Marlins will trade for Frek Kimbrol. I

975
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 3: think they're gonna be in it. They're gonna be in

976
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 3: just enough. They're gonna be third in the division. At

977
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 3: that point there's that extbanded playoffs. You're gonna say, you

978
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 3: know what, we need a legitimate back end bullpen guy

979
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 3: to be the closer at least, and they're gonna trade

980
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 3: for Cray.

981
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: Kimberl, especially especially if the closing it's not working out

982
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: as we expected. You know, it's more of a closer

983
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: by committee. You could get that deaf from the closure

984
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: with Kimberl and you.

985
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 2: Immediately have him already.

986
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 1: You could put Bender as the setup guy or even

987
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: the seventh inning guy. You have Flora as your eighth

988
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: and then you can maybe have some short and long

989
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: relievers with Okred and Lewis Head.

990
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was my backup. One I guess was about

991
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 4: Hayesus Sanchez and him being an All Star selection this year.

992
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 2: That's a great one. That's a great one.

993
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, as an overall player, I don't like him as

994
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 4: much as right now as Avid Garcia or some of

995
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 4: the others. I've been pretty critical of his defense as well,

996
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 4: even when it was before that was putting him in

997
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 4: the center field. But when he gets hot at the plate.

998
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 4: We saw it in tripa A last year when everybody

999
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 4: was going crazy, but we saw it in the majors

1000
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 4: last year. It was from a lot of August and

1001
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 4: into September. Like, when he gets hot, he's one of

1002
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 4: the hottest hitters in the league. If he does that,

1003
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 4: just happens to be at the start of the year,

1004
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 4: then that really tilts the scales in his favorit in

1005
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 4: terms of actually getting All Star recognition. It also just

1006
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 4: like goes back to my idea that I really love

1007
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 4: the depth of this team right now at the major

1008
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 4: league level, but in terms of the individual star power,

1009
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 4: especially on the hitting side, like he could be a

1010
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 4: guy that actually like separates himself from the pack because

1011
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 4: of the batted ball skills that he has. It's both

1012
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 4: the power and just a whole lot of other hitting

1013
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 4: intangibles that he made some really good growth on since

1014
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 4: he's been in the Marlins organization. So I like him

1015
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 4: having a pretty big year. Even though I am kind

1016
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 4: of harsh on him. I wanted to see him make

1017
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 4: some other adjustments as an all round player, but he is.

1018
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 4: He's a fun guy and the Marlins are pretty lucky

1019
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 4: to have him.

1020
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 3: One of my bold predictions was going to be that

1021
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 3: Haysus hits forty home runs. That's a good I think

1022
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 3: he's got it in on. Like you said, I just

1023
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 3: wrote this season preview on him.

1024
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: He can do it.

1025
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 3: He's got that type of raw power where he can

1026
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 3: get it too all fields and he can catch up

1027
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 3: the velocity, he can wait and hits him off speed.

1028
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,240
Speaker 3: I think he has the capabilities of having a huge season,

1029
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 3: and if not this year, he has a bright future.

1030
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 3: And if I'm correct, I think he's almost everyone's breakout kenned,

1031
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,439
Speaker 3: at least from our side. You know, Hazus is gonna

1032
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 3: break out this year. He's gonna have a really good season.

1033
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: But now that you start thinking of it, another good

1034
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: bold prediction beat the Martins are gonna have more than

1035
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: two All Stars this season because these past couple of

1036
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: years it's been they've had to choose an All Star.

1037
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: You know, the Marnins have never gotten one through votes.

1038
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: They've had because they've gotten one through the MLB. Because

1039
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,720
Speaker 1: you need to have a team representing a player representing

1040
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 1: your team. Man, if it could be maybe you mention it.

1041
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 1: Let's say Jesus Sandy and avisile Garcia has just an

1042
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: incredible first half, that could be an option Jazz choosh

1043
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: them all of a sudden just explodes.

1044
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 4: Going back to Jazz, I don't think people even in

1045
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 4: Miami realize how much star power Jazz has nationally. By

1046
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 4: the time if he gets off to a similar start

1047
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 4: this year, as he had last year. He's gonna rise

1048
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 4: up really quickly in terms of the most popular players

1049
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 4: in baseball. He has that type of that enthusiasm and

1050
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 4: the swag that he has. It really is not just national,

1051
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 4: but like international. He's somebody that would even if the

1052
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 4: performance doesn't totally deserve it, he's going to get a

1053
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 4: whole lot of All Star votes from fans, even outside

1054
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,879
Speaker 4: of the Marlins organization. This is one thing you'll cover

1055
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 4: the Marlins, how frustrating it is even in years where

1056
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 4: they've had deserving All Stars. Rio Muto is a great

1057
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 4: example in twenty eighteen where he didn't get voted as

1058
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 4: a starter in the National League in a year where

1059
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 4: he's been pretty clearly that he was the best catcher

1060
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 4: in the league. And it's been a frustration for a

1061
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 4: while because they've had so few of these guys, especially

1062
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 4: on the hitting side, that commands any sort of interest

1063
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 4: outside of Miami and Jazz is the exception to that.

1064
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 4: So I would not be surprised if he gets actually

1065
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 4: voted in as a starter at second base. This year.

1066
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you guys.

1067
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,280
Speaker 1: Maybe give out a record prediction or is that another

1068
00:49:58,360 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: one for another day?

1069
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 4: No, that's we'll say that probably for we'll probably say

1070
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 4: it for live stream, probably the one right before opening day, okay,

1071
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 4: so that we get more perspectives on that, and it's

1072
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 4: to cheat a little bit more and just see how

1073
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 4: the rest of the spring plays out. We covered a

1074
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 4: lot of grounds on this one already.

1075
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. And that's I think where we will

1076
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 2: end it.

1077
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 1: Eli always, thank you for being here on the screen

1078
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,280
Speaker 1: this time present because you're usually the ones into is. Isaac,

1079
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: thank you for doing this as always. Bro. You know

1080
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: you've always been consistent with the time, whatever time it is,

1081
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: because I know I have a complicated schedule. We all do.

1082
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:32,239
