1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Kyle Stowers and you're listening to Fish

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: on First.

3
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: Welcome into Fish On First Live, part of the Foul

4
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: Territory Network. Happy Opening Day, everybody, Eli Sussman, Nate Krsmer,

5
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: I'm Jeremiah Geiger.

6
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: Guys, how are we feeling?

7
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: Marlin's Baseball is back, this show counting down just a

8
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: couple hours away till first pitch.

9
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 3: I'm excited.

10
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 4: The vibes are high, and that's the way I would

11
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 4: put it.

12
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 5: It's the official opening day sound bite that we have

13
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 5: from Kevin going back a few years. Yeah, vibes are

14
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 5: very high, as always on Opening Day, even despite this

15
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 5: team's history overall and Opening Day, which is a lot

16
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 5: more bad than good. People have been circling this though

17
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 5: for what like since the schedule came out maybe eight

18
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 5: months ago. This was about as easy a soft opening

19
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 5: strip of games that they could have this one and

20
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 5: the following series as you could want. So I think

21
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 5: that adds to the excitement too. It's kind of feeling

22
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 5: like there's there's really not no more favorable matchup you

23
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,639
Speaker 5: could get then going against the one hundred and nineteen

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 5: lost Rockies. So Marrows will seek to take advantage of that.

25
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the best time of the year. Simply you're

26
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: gonna see those banners around the stadium. The fireworks roof

27
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: is open for about a good month or two months

28
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: at the start of the year. It's a good time.

29
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: This team had an amazing twenty twenty five. Obviously, this

30
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: surprise all of us. So just a fact you're gonna

31
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: be out there love Deepot Park, playing meaningful baseball. Like

32
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: I said, it is the best time in the year.

33
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: Und it's going to be the fastest two hours of

34
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: my life. I have to not wait for Marlins baseball.

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 6: Way back.

36
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at yesterday's scoreboard around the league,

37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: because it's kind of strange. There was Opening Day, but

38
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 2: the Marlins are playing a day later than most teams.

39
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: A lot of teams are off today. But there was

40
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: some surprising results going back to yesterday. I want to

41
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: start by talking about the Pirates and the Mets. I

42
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: don't think anybody expected Paul Skins to get bounced out

43
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: of the game in the first inning. Didn't even complete

44
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 2: an inning in his first start. Of course, schemes started

45
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: a lot for Team USA, so maybe that had a factor.

46
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: But I would say, of all the other Opening Day games,

47
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: that result really shocked me.

48
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 5: Being an overview right there, of all these games that

49
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 5: happened around the league where Skins had no help from

50
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 5: his defense from mister O'Neal Cruz who is still in

51
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 5: center field, believe it or not, in kind of misplaying

52
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 5: what should have been a sack fly into a triple.

53
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 5: That can tributed to that as well. It was kind

54
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 5: of on the individual player front. I just saw some

55
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 5: crazy performances with Mike Trout having almost a perfect day.

56
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 5: I think he drew three walks and hit a homer

57
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 5: after looking somewhat washed last year. Especially at the Rays

58
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 5: and Cardinals game was kind of insane. I think the

59
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 5: Rays were up six runs at one point in the

60
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 5: middle of that and then blew it all at a

61
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 5: single inning for the Cardinals rally against that. And I

62
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 5: was watching the Cubs and Nats game as well. I mean,

63
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 5: the Nationals are kind of right down towards They're in

64
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 5: that select group of teams that feel like they have

65
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 5: zero aspirations of competing this year. So whenever they win

66
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 5: against a much better team, especially when it's on the road,

67
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 5: I think that really jumps out as well, so there

68
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 5: was some things that were unexpected, and with the Brewers,

69
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 5: I think the Brewers won't caught my attention to just

70
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 5: because of how reminiscent it was a twenty twenty five

71
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 5: like that. They were the right up there as one

72
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 5: of the teams that overachieved the most last year. It

73
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 5: just didn't make sense that they could have such a

74
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 5: good offense with the individual players that they have, And

75
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 5: yet you blink and they put up fourteen runs through

76
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 5: a lot of like really well placed bloopers and in

77
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 5: bunts that turn into extra bases somehow. And that was

78
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 5: the kind of game that they had against the White

79
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 5: Sox too. So it's a good combination of things. Continuation

80
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 5: of what we thought we knew from last season, and

81
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 5: then a bunch on the other side totally attempting to

82
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 5: flip the narratives already in terms of what we what

83
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 5: it is that last season brought us.

84
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, great Rundow, but I think you missed the most

85
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: important detail, which was that Tyler o'neils I want to say,

86
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: six opening day streak in a row, hitting a bomb

87
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: that finally came to an end against Minnesota. But yeah,

88
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: you pretty much touched everything else, I guess for the

89
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: broadcast nerves out there. The first two MLB games on

90
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: NBC first time in a long time. I believe it

91
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: was the Pittsford game and the Dodgers game late both

92
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: did broadcast for any let does care about that. Big

93
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: day for the prospects as well. Weather hold from Saint

94
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: Louis and died from Cleveland's his name is apro May.

95
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: But big dates for those guys. And uh jesus, what

96
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: else I had the see here? Uh no, not much.

97
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean Angel went out there and beat the Astros

98
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: its opening day, so I don't want to put too

99
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: much stock. And for old friends Step and him so

100
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: his damn Phillies unfortunately fell up short. But uh now

101
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: it is obviously I don't want to put too much

102
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: stock into this, just like the twenty twenty four Marlins.

103
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: Uh you know they fell short to the Pirates and

104
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: that they ended up to be a pretty good team.

105
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm just kidding. So uh yeah, just the

106
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: rest of this weekend should be a lot of stuff

107
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: to look forward to. It's a guy you're thinking of, Yes,

108
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: it's a lotterer. My apologies.

109
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trevor Rodgers goes seven shutout on opening week against

110
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 2: the Ways. That was pretty cool, fantastic start.

111
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 5: Everybody in the Chad would love to hear from you

112
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 5: coming down to the start of this game. And this

113
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 5: is always an interesting time to stream because of course

114
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 5: more people go to the ballpark for this game than

115
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 5: just about any other during the course of the season.

116
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 5: But if you're not, I hope you're here with us,

117
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 5: especially if you're outside of South Florida itself, the way

118
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 5: that I am in the northeast and that Jeremiah is

119
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 5: on the West coast. This is better time than ever

120
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 5: for us to connect from great distances in a moment

121
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 5: like this. Yeah, the Trevor thing we should talk about

122
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 5: a little bit more, just because of how many different

123
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 5: twists and turns that trade has taken now in a

124
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 5: year and a half since then, because Trevor wasn't at

125
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 5: this point last year. Trevor was still hurt. He like

126
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 5: hurt his knee or something last spring and then came

127
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 5: off the aisle for the Orioles and he was still

128
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 5: in Triple A. It just opted him down because they

129
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 5: didn't think he was on their five best guys. And

130
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 5: to go from that within a year to go, being

131
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 5: their opening day starter and doing it on the back

132
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 5: of having a sub too Era and the Majors last

133
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 5: year and then having really things going about as well

134
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 5: as they possibly could in this first outing of the

135
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 5: year for him to validate that, Yeah, I mean at

136
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 5: this particular moment, you also have Kyle Stowers. It's now

137
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 5: been reversed on that aspect. For now Stours is missing

138
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 5: opening to day for the Marlins, and at least Norby

139
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 5: is in the lineup tonight and we'll get into that,

140
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 5: but not really an everyday role for him. So, Jeremiah,

141
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 5: what is at this moment, having constantly and constantly re

142
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 5: evaluated and regraded and reframed that trade, that one is

143
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 5: now probably skewing towards the Orioles in terms of getting

144
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 5: a better value for it.

145
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it would be hard to argue against the

146
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: Orioles currently winning the trade, just because right now Kyle

147
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: Stowers is having trouble staying on the field and the

148
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: best ability is availability and unfortunately, I mean, he had

149
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: a great season last year, but he missed the last

150
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: six weeks or so, and he's gonna miss the first

151
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: two or three weeks of this season. At least and

152
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: Trevor Rodgers. I mean, last season I kinda was expecting

153
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: him to fall back down to earth. I mean, I

154
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: wasn't used to seeing this version of Trevor Rodgers, and

155
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: he was just dominant. And then against the Twins it's

156
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: the first start. I know, the Twins don't have a

157
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: particularly good or great lineup, but you got to give

158
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: credit where credits due. He's pitching like an ace. He's

159
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: the opening day starter for an Orioles team that I

160
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: think can maybe compete for a wild card spot in.

161
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: The Al East.

162
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: It's a it's a really tough division up there, but yeah,

163
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: I'm happy for him and for the Marlins perspective. It's

164
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: important to get Stours back. And I mean, we can

165
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: talk about this this whole Kyle Stowers. Is he going

166
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: to regress back to the mean?

167
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 3: Is there?

168
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: Did he outperform what he really is as a player

169
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: last season? So that's another storyline in of itself and

170
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: Connor Norby's development. But at least all three guys involved

171
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: in the trade or major leaguers and have contributed in

172
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 2: some meaningful fashion.

173
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 5: I want to look back at the roundtable now and

174
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 5: put up the roundtable on yesterday morning on the site,

175
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 5: and I thought be kind of helpful to use that

176
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 5: as a bit of an overview in terms of what

177
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 5: we're feeling and to give a better contrast in terms

178
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 5: of what individual people on our staff are feeling. So

179
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 5: we'll have a Nate kind of answer this in real

180
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 5: time as we go through what you and I put

181
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 5: in here. It was a five question round table. I

182
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 5: was zooming a lot, so everybody can get a good

183
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 5: peek at it. But we made Stours and Marcy the

184
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 5: poster boys for this one. So I started off by

185
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 5: talking about what do you think the most interesting move

186
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 5: that the Marlins made during the twenty five to twenty

187
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 5: six off season was? So, Jeremiah, take us through what

188
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 5: your thought process was here.

189
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, my thought process was just Christopher Morell because he

190
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: hasn't had a good season since twenty twenty three. In

191
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 2: first base is a position that going into the off

192
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: season we all knew the Marlins needed to address and

193
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 2: address it and Morrell seemed to be the answer. He's

194
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 2: gonna get the lion's share of the reps at first base.

195
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: It's interesting to me because it's a very boom or

196
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 2: bust signing. It's either gonna work out or it's not.

197
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: And the Marlins are paying him two million dollars. It's

198
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: not an expensive contract by any means, so if it

199
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: doesn't work out, they can easily cut ties. But if

200
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: it does, you're looking at a guy that has twenty

201
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 2: five to thirty home run power and suddenly you feel

202
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: really good about the signing. Had a rough spring training though,

203
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 2: and I know a lot of fans are gonna look

204
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: at the numbers. I tend to kind of throw out

205
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 2: spring training numbers just completely.

206
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 3: It is what it is.

207
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: You don't know if guys are working on certain things

208
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 2: in the box or whatnot. It's just I don't like

209
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: overreacting to spring training numbers. But again, I don't think

210
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: he's gonna have a very long leash at first base.

211
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: If he struggles, then this could be a maybe a

212
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: Matt Murvis kind of situation last season, even with the

213
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: two million dollars they're paying him.

214
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 5: I covered one game as media during spring training that

215
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 5: was exactly a week ago, and it was a game

216
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 5: where he was at first base, and that was a

217
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 5: game where two outs in the ending, there's a single

218
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 5: hits the right fields and they're waving home a runner

219
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 5: from second. I think they're playing the Nationals, and the

220
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 5: Nationals are trying to score a run on the space hit,

221
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 5: and Casey unlosses this great throw to home plate that

222
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 5: seems to be on target, and in time and out

223
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 5: of nowhere, Morell just steps in front and cuts the

224
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 5: ball off at first base, and he doesn't even try

225
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 5: to go home. He just holds onto the ball. And

226
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 5: it was a moment like that that kind of crystallized

227
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 5: my doubts when it comes to him as a first baseman,

228
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 5: where it's not only like the actual skills aren't really there,

229
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 5: but even the instincts and the communication are kind of

230
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 5: lacking there. As you said, if he just hits, if

231
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 5: he rakes the way that he has in the not

232
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 5: too distant past, then that kind of solves all the

233
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 5: problems here. If he just hits twenty something home runs

234
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 5: in three hundred and fifty played appearances, something very similar

235
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 5: to his twenty twenty three season, then that's fine. Then

236
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 5: that's something where they may even run it back with him.

237
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 5: He's arbitration old, so that could turn into a multi year,

238
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 5: good value signing as long as he slugs so that

239
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 5: will overcome it. But man defensively, you can understand why

240
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 5: the Marlins thought to move him down the defensive spectrum

241
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 5: because he's making these same kind of issues at more

242
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 5: important positions than the impicks the game even more in

243
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 5: a negative way. So yeah, I understood that. For me personally,

244
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 5: went I highlighted the Fairbanks one. Even though they were

245
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 5: linked to having going after like high leverage relievers throughout

246
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 5: the off season. It wasn't a surprise all that much

247
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 5: that they wanted to improve the bullpen, especially when it

248
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 5: came out that Ronnie had blown out his elbow and

249
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 5: he was going to miss the year. I just didn't

250
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 5: think they would spend at this amount for it, especially

251
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 5: if they weren't going to spend in other areas. Because

252
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 5: Fairbanks got more money himself than all the other free

253
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 5: agent signings got combined. If you add together morel and

254
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 5: Chris Paddock and John King and Austin Slater at the ends,

255
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 5: I mean, Fairbanks at thirteen million was the vast majority

256
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 5: of their total spending as a team. For a guy

257
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 5: that if everything goes well, he pitches sixty five innings

258
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 5: total for you this year, these like that's usually the

259
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 5: last place that a low revenue team is going to

260
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 5: spend in free agency because they have to be so

261
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 5: amazing to turn into a good value proposition for the team.

262
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 5: That's so I found that was pretty interesting. Even though

263
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 5: he's from a media perspective, we might be biased towards

264
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 5: him just because he's such an interesting guy to talk to,

265
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 5: But in terms of actual performance, I can kind of

266
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 5: I can kind of separate the two and see that

267
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 5: this is just a strange way to make your the

268
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 5: second highest paid player on the entire team being somebody

269
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 5: that is a specialist in the same way that any

270
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 5: reliever is. So yeah, I'm I was curious behind that,

271
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 5: and we'll see exactly how that. I feel like that's

272
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 5: going to be a bit of an anomaly that we're

273
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 5: not going to see this team make that kind of

274
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 5: big avestment in a reliever every single year, that maybe

275
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 5: the star is just aligned in this case to get

276
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 5: it done. We'll put you on the spot, Nate, when

277
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 5: I'm talking about the most interesting offseason move to you,

278
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 5: is it one of those two or just something else

279
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 5: come to mind.

280
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 6: It's not.

281
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: I suppose I'm preaching the choir after reading some of

282
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: the other ones, but I'm going to go with the

283
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Weathers trade, especially not even was it a week

284
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: or not even a week after the adult Cabrera to Chicago.

285
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: They deal a guy that they just got two years ago,

286
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: and that plenty of upsiders never really got the chance

287
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: to show who he was. We've seen bits and pieces,

288
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: but whether it's almost getting his head taken off in

289
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: Tampa or a little just injuries here and there, and

290
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: never got to see him progress over an entire full

291
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: season with Marlin. So I believe it was good value.

292
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm not really mad at the trade or what they

293
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: got in return, and it's just tough, especially with the

294
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: team like the Marlins. You know, they're known for their

295
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: starting pitching death, but we've seen it every year almost

296
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: since the brushermrasme, which is what they're known for, has

297
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: been they're starting pitching death. Guys go down, and it

298
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: happens every year. Guy's arms are gonna They're not gonna

299
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: go through one hundred and sixty two games. It's just

300
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: not how at work. So I've been FanDuel and Lewis.

301
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: I think by the end of the series is going

302
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: to be a top two guy in this Marlin system,

303
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: probably with his names just skipped me the entire day.

304
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: It's great, but yeah, definitely the time into the Weathers deal.

305
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: But I think the Brons will be okay. But you

306
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: just never know, especially with the sixth man vitation that

307
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: kind of have going right now. You know, it would

308
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: not hurt to have a guy like Weathers, even though

309
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: he has struggled in the spring with the Yankees'll.

310
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 5: Move on to the second one from the round table.

311
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 5: Any players are turning from the twenty twenty five Marlins

312
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 5: who you believe will be significantly improved this season, who

313
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 5: did you go with? Jeremiah?

314
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 3: I went with Sandy.

315
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: It's probably an obvious choice, just because it really couldn't

316
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: have gotten worse than the first half of last season.

317
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: I mean, his ERA was over eight at one point,

318
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: but if you look at the numbers post All Star Break,

319
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: he was quietly pretty good. I mean, low three ERA,

320
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 2: pitched a couple games going into the seventh inning, completing

321
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: seven innings, and it looked more like the Sandy were

322
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: used to seeing. I would temper expectations. I don't think

323
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: Sandy is a cy young contender, you know, I think

324
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: we're past that part of his career, because when we

325
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: look at it, at his best, Sandy is an innings

326
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: eater who's gonna keep the ball on the ground and

327
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: get out and work deep into games. Not really flashy

328
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: with the strikeouts, not gonna have two hundred and forty

329
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: strikeouts or something like that. But if he can just

330
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: get back to that version of himself that we saw

331
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: in the second half of last season or somewhere in between,

332
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: I think we'll all agree that that's a much improved

333
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: version of Sandy Alcontra his second season removed now from

334
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: Tommy John m.

335
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. And this is a case where anybody

336
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 5: that was following him at all the second half of

337
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 5: the year knew that he kind of got his season

338
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 5: turned around and back to a lot of these at

339
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 5: least career level performances down the stretch in a way

340
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 5: that wouldn't really think that that's all that bold. But yeah,

341
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 5: given the overall numbers, if you just look at the

342
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 5: overall run prevention, I dug up this stat on him,

343
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 5: it was the most runs allowed by any Marlins pitcher

344
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 5: total total runs, one hundred and seven runs in fourteen years.

345
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 5: That combination. Usually guys do not pitch that many innings

346
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 5: if they suck that much, and he did, because the

347
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 5: underlying number said, well, he doesn't actually suck as much

348
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 5: as he seems, of course his track record, and that

349
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 5: ultimately this was the most important thing. He's getting him

350
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 5: as many reps as he could coming off of this

351
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 5: surgery to get back to normal. I'd mentioned Yuri as well.

352
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 5: I know he is a very trendy breakout pick all

353
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 5: across baseball, even outside of the Marlins universe, because he's

354
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 5: the talent is so obvious. He throws as hard as

355
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 5: any starting pitcher, but with fastball characteristics that actually make

356
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 5: it miss bats as well, and the way that he's

357
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 5: able to locate most of his stuff at that size

358
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 5: is so unusual that some improvement from where he was

359
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 5: last year seems obvious. The other guy I mentioned was

360
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 5: Augustine Ramirez, who by the end of last year, it

361
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 5: was hard to feel good about where we were with Ramirez,

362
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 5: considering that when the dust settles he's a below average

363
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 5: hitter overall, to say nothing of how awful the defense

364
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 5: was behind the plate, and that if he looked at

365
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 5: all the all encompassing winds above replacement numbers, he was

366
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 5: a replacement level player. But when I putting into perspective

367
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 5: just how much guys can improve from their rookie year

368
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 5: moving forward. From watching him on a daily basis, I

369
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 5: think he's going to be a great hitter. That the

370
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 5: numbers overall don't scare me. There's going to be some

371
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 5: changes I think he needs to make with his approach.

372
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 5: Scott Sick some more walks than he did last year.

373
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 5: Even if he doesn't, the slugging is going to be

374
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 5: up even from where it was last year, and I

375
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 5: think the luck is going to improve too. He was

376
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 5: another guy that just from you look at the batted

377
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 5: ball metrics he had overall, that he should have gotten

378
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 5: a lot more hits than he actually did if he

379
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 5: were to play it out over an even larger sample.

380
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 5: So I think that's going to turn around two and

381
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 5: that he's going to be at the very at least

382
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 5: a good offensive player. I've been totally out of him

383
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 5: as a catcher for ever since the Marlins acquired him,

384
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 5: and I think over the course of the year, the

385
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 5: Marlins are going to be mostly out on him that

386
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 5: by the second half of the year he's gonna be

387
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 5: playing catching a catcher very sparingly if at all, and

388
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 5: in that standpoint, that will obviously help his overall value

389
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 5: as a player too, So that goes into my thinking

390
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 5: there once again to U Nate. Yeah, we've talked enough

391
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 5: about Sandy. So anybody aside from Sandy that falls into

392
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 5: this boocket for you?

393
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, First, I do have news or report one player

394
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: has been stretched from today's linefere I have any destines

395
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: from either of you who it was?

396
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: Oh, oh Norby?

397
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: No, Norby is still in there, but he did move.

398
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: That gives it away.

399
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 5: No, I have not checked, So let me think about it.

400
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 5: Give my guess. Hmm is it? Is it? Gus?

401
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: I just talked about Christopher Morrell has been scratched with

402
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: the left of Leach strain and Connor Norby will start

403
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: it from first base today.

404
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 5: Okay, change our programming quite a bit here for real,

405
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 5: because if it's Marlins, fans are used to this. If

406
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 5: it's an oblique strain, you know what that means. That

407
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 5: means it's an eel stance. Yeah, so we're gonna need

408
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 5: just a moment to uh to process.

409
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: Will be making his debut batting eighth.

410
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 5: And d agent, So I see that now, alrighty, okay,

411
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 5: quite a twist, masters, Yeah, all right, so the season right.

412
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: Uh, they moved Norby to first and yeah, snow hostile

413
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: at third.

414
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 5: Also the updated line up to everybody. When we get

415
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 5: to that part of the program, there's gonna be plenty

416
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 5: to talk about with that. So Nate, let me get

417
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 5: your answer to this, and then we'll throw to our

418
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 5: first break here player that he's a returning player that

419
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 5: you think is gonna be significantly improved in twenty twenty six.

420
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously echoes Sandy and Eerie, but I love that

421
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: you brought up Augusty and Eli uh in the same case.

422
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,959
Speaker 1: I remember talking to Jordanno back to the stadium at

423
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: the end of last year and he brought up how

424
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: really different Augustine is. His splits when he is catching

425
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: and his splits when he's theaching, world's apart, Like completely

426
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: different player and similar to like you, I said, I

427
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: believe may maybe maybe at the latest Joe Maxon maybe

428
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: up and Audustin or Mires will not be catching any

429
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: more games to Marlins, he'll be daching. I can just

430
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: focus on the bat folks, on getting ready to hit

431
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: every day and really just changes flow up. I don't

432
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: know if it's the stress of playing defense or just

433
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: the flow of taking swings throughout the game at DH

434
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: like you do. But I believe when Joe Max is

435
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: called up, Audustine will rotate the DH and he'll really

436
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: establish himself as the premiere three to four hole on

437
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: this team. So I think that's if I had to

438
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: pick one guy outside of Sandy and Eray I love.

439
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm buying a lot of Augustine stock this year. I

440
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: think Connan Norby will improve, but just not at the

441
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: level that I think Augustine's gonna takeoff. Similar to like

442
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: that first month he had obviously not hitting, not going

443
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: deep in his first whatever four games whatever it was

444
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: between Home and in C. Yeah, but artists and your

445
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: mirror stock, I'm all in twenty twenty six.

446
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 5: Mm hmm. So we'll take a moment now to pitvot

447
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 5: to this moral analysis. But first a word from our

Speaker 5: Let's talk about this, Yeah, Jeremiah, just go right into it.

470
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 5: Christ Morel always going to be the primary Marlins first

471
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 5: baseman this season and now not only scratch from the lineup,

472
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 5: but needless to say, he's going to be out for

473
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 5: a while with this openleague strain.

474
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's not good. That's disappointing. That's for sure.

475
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 2: The something with the oblique muscles and Marlin's hitters. I mean,

476
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 2: this has been a problem now for the last couple

477
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 2: of seasons in spring trading.

478
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but there's a hole

479
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 3: at first base. Now.

480
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 2: I'm curious as to how they're going to fix it,

481
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: because I'm assuming Morell goes on the IL for at

482
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: least a couple of weeks. I mean, this could be,

483
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 2: depending how serious it is, up to a month. Norby

484
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: at first doesn't feel like the fit, and I don't

485
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: think he's gonna play first base the entire time. I

486
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: know they've talked about con nine as as snack Wrap

487
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 2: says maybe Delo Santo's. I don't think you call it

488
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 2: del Santo's right now. I feel like he needs more

489
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 2: seasoning in triple A. Guys like this is a tough

490
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 2: blow though, because again you were projecting Morell to be

491
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: the first baseman and kind of take that now it's

492
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: what first baseman by committee all over again.

493
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 5: Funny.

494
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Marlins were in first base Linda all of

495
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five after Matt and Murvis tooled down, and

496
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: here we are again. It's gonna be Toroner and Roby's

497
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: first start at first base. I'm not sure how much

498
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 1: work he's got there at all in the spread, and

499
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't really know how Morell messes up. I don't

500
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: know how this oblique injury happens hours before first pitch.

501
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: It's very Marlin's already, but uh yeah, I'm really unsure.

502
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: Uh De Losantles would be cool, But like Jeremia said,

503
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how likely that is, especially with how

504
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: he kind of slumped. Obviously he had a good winter

505
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: and his spring was up and down, but I don't

506
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: think that's the play right now, So we're gonna have

507
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: to wait and see. It's definitely a shame. Uh brings

508
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: a lot of power. I know I bought a lot

509
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: of Audis team stock this year, but you need more

510
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: pop in your line up, and Marle I was supposed

511
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: to bring a lot of that. So definitely not the

512
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: wrench you want thrown. But it's going to be Corticio

513
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: in case you his first start, uh Marn's opening day

514
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: and we got the man, Kevin. I'll thrown over to

515
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: Kevin and talk about this moral stuff.

516
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, we just got this, like not even ten minutes ago.

517
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 9: I like my thought like, oh, good to know. First

518
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 9: of all, happy opening day. Fortunately that's a little sour.

519
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 4: I know.

520
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 10: World didn't have a great spring, but still, I mean, that's.

521
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 6: That's a piece you needed.

522
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 10: That's a piece were counting off for the season.

523
00:25:55,040 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 9: Uh yeah, connin Orby is making the unexpected data. You're

524
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 9: gonna have Owen Casey as the designated hitter.

525
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 10: Can any play first? I hope not, but yeah, no,

526
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 10: definitely tough.

527
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 9: Something even worth noting is if this does land morale

528
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 9: in the fifteen day, our ten day.

529
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 10: I'm sorry, which most likely will.

530
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 9: The only forty man guys we have in Triple A

531
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 9: are Sarna Davison and Joe Mack. So unless they put

532
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 9: someone on the sixty or they make a signing, it's

533
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 9: gonna be an interesting looking lineup or first base, it's

534
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 9: gonna look really weird in the nest a couple of days.

535
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 10: I don't know what they would do.

536
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 9: I don't think Davison's ready, but they really have to

537
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 9: know their option, they really have to do something.

538
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 10: I'm sure they would love.

539
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 9: To have Troy Johnson right about now, who's now in

540
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 9: the rockies.

541
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: I guess Liam Hits is probably the easiest answer, right,

542
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean, unless you're.

543
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 9: Facing Yeah, I go to first, I think, right, and

544
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 9: I guess you call it mac like.

545
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 10: I don't like that. No, I don't like that.

546
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 6: I agree.

547
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 11: I'm not really any I'm not really I'm not really

548
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 11: confident in many of the three forty nine guys that

549
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 11: they have right now, not that they're back layers, just

550
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 11: they're not ready, you know.

551
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 10: So that's kind of all I see it a little

552
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 10: bit mm.

553
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 5: Hmm with It really does start with Norby, though, I

554
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 5: think Norby is going to be the main one that

555
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 5: is going to gain playing time here. For those of

556
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 5: you that haven't listened to already on the sit wherever

557
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 5: you're listening to this pod, you'll be able to find

558
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 5: Fish Unfiltered, recorded just the day before with Clayton McCullough,

559
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 5: and Clayton said that Norby that first base is going

560
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 5: to be his primary position for the time being, that

561
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 5: he said very politely that they like Pauline and Snowha

562
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 5: defensively at third base, a lot more those guys are

563
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 5: gonna essentially platoon there, and that Norby is still he's

564
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 5: excited to play the outfield. But it's such a small

565
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 5: sample it's been kind of rough so far, and they

566
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 5: feel like they have solid outfield depth, especially with the

567
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 5: Slater pickup that Norby is. He is a right handed

568
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 5: hitter just like Morel does. He has a lot of

569
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 5: the same strengths and same concerns as Morel does, and

570
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 5: that's why it felt a little bit awkward that both

571
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 5: of them were on the roster at the same time.

572
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 5: But now Norby has the chance to really pick up

573
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 5: a lot of playing time here, they will have to

574
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 5: call off somebody to fill out the roster in the meantime.

575
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 5: Kevin kind of went over the forty men options where

576
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 5: Davison is the natural first baseman down there, but he

577
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 5: was optioned for a reason that he really needs to prove.

578
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 5: They need him feel like he's in a good space

579
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 5: as an offensive player before moving forward, just because of

580
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 5: how much last year was a bit of a head

581
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 5: scratcher from him. So I don't think they're going to

582
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 5: rush him up. They're not going to rush up Joe

583
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 5: Mack just because of an injury like this. They're going

584
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 5: to be very they They're reasoning for him is very

585
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 5: particular as well, and they certainly want to gain in

586
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 5: both of their cases, you want, service time is going

587
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 5: to be a factor there. They're not going to rush

588
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 5: them up if they can gain a whole extra year

589
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 5: of service time by waiting a few more weeks. So

590
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 5: you just go to the non forty men options that

591
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 5: are in a triple A. And I thought we were

592
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 5: going to talk about this later, but might as well

593
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 5: because that their season is starting tonight as well, so

594
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 5: we had their roster too, so a variety guys down

595
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 5: there that they can because they have versatility among this group,

596
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 5: you can go in a few different directions. I mean,

597
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 5: there might be a way that they find that they

598
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 5: squeeze Andrew Pintar up here is in a reserve role

599
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 5: and play Slater like Slater is not really going to

600
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 5: play center. Somebody mentioned that Slater has some first base experience,

601
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 5: but I think last year it was literally one ending.

602
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 5: It's it's minimal as well. So that's that's the weird

603
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 5: situation that the Marlins are in where they've tried to

604
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 5: turn all these non first basement into first basemen. So

605
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 5: I don't think you could totally rule it out doing

606
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 5: it yet again with somebody else, Yeah, whoever, that corresponding

607
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 5: move is to fill for morel I don't think it's

608
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 5: going to be a big name. I think it's more

609
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 5: so going to be somebody just to fill out the bench.

610
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 5: But certainly the first reaction is that this is good

611
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 5: for Norby, who finished Spring on a pretty high note,

612
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 5: at least offensively.

613
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 9: Slater has a lot of games. Slater has a lot

614
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 9: of games at first base. I just noticed, Oh my god.

615
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 9: I hope that doesn't happen, because that time why they

616
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 9: signed him. But that's the only option that they have

617
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 9: that they feel good enough about. And I don't know,

618
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 9: maybe he could Maybe they feel like Ruise has a polo,

619
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 9: they're gonna come back in time and they could play

620
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 9: some on the sixty which went up in that forty

621
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 9: nine spot that I could see as an option.

622
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 6: I don't know if he'll.

623
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 9: Because they could have just gone from the start right

624
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 9: not to retro. It could have been like a retro

625
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 9: thing to March twenty seven or whatever they placed him.

626
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 10: But no, I don't know.

627
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 9: It's gonna be a weird, weird twenty four hours and

628
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 9: definitely have to check out that Jacksonville lineup. Whatever does

629
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 9: come out, does if one of those three forty nine

630
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 9: guys are not there.

631
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 10: I think it speaks for himself wise.

632
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 5: M just looking for the record on Slater's history. It's

633
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 5: thirty career games at first base. The last time he

634
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 5: played it on any regular basis. Twenty nineteen is the

635
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 5: last time he actually started the game at first base,

636
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 5: So I don't know what to do with that. Where

637
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 5: he does have some experience last decade, literally last decade

638
00:30:54,360 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 5: is when he last made some starts there for the Giants.

639
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 5: Other than that, I think we know that well. Might

640
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,719
Speaker 5: as well do a press Fox report with Kevin now

641
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 5: that he's here early. I mean, Jeremiah, what do you

642
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 5: want to know from a man on the scene about

643
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 5: what it's like there under these circumstances. Yeah, first off,

644
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 5: beautiful site, like roofs open, that's awesome. Did you talk

645
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 5: to Clayton about the lineup construction at all?

646
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 3: Because that surprised me.

647
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 5: I think we've Kevin frozen there. Could we could zoom

648
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 5: him in looking good, smirking at.

649
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: It's not intentional, he was trying to project, you're.

650
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 5: Just oh yeah, so yeah, are you all set again?

651
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 5: Talk to us about the lineup? Then? Before the pre

652
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 5: Morell getting scratched lineup.

653
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 9: It was a weird lineup, not something I expected. I

654
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 9: saw someone that put it on Twitter about Slater leading off.

655
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 9: I was like, no way, Like it's gonna be X

656
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 9: and X goes down to X goes down eighth in

657
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 9: the lineup, SLAF. I mean, it's the guys that we

658
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 9: thought would be in the right It's just I think

659
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 9: the oria was a little bit weird.

660
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 10: Not a lot changes. Now. It kind of sucks for Casey.

661
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 10: I feel that for him because I know it's in

662
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 10: the dh ROL.

663
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 9: But now you have to against setting them up not

664
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 9: to fail, but setting them up in a pretty tough situation.

665
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 9: But no, I mean, lineup is not unexpected, but you

666
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 9: know it's what you expect against the left handed pitcher, right,

667
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 9: and you're probably gonna see something very somewhere on Sunday Tomorrow's.

668
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 10: You'll see your your regulars.

669
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 5: What I'll say on that is that even I understands

670
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 5: that platooning is gonna be a big factor here, it's

671
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 5: just a it's an odd approach for the Marlins to take,

672
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 5: and they took it a lot of last season, even

673
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 5: though they had all these guys with reverse splits like

674
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 5: they would add auto in the heart of their lineup

675
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 5: against left even though he was doing terribly against lefties,

676
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 5: and they would do the same way both respects. I

677
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 5: remember Kyle Stowers when Stowers would sit occasionally against lefties

678
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 5: even though he was hitting lefties really well early in

679
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 5: the season. Things like that, where they believe in the

680
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,719
Speaker 5: larger sample size, the larger trends when it comes to that,

681
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 5: and that's why, as mentioned, that's why Casey was sitting initially,

682
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 5: because they don't want him to face that many lefties

683
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 5: and they'd rather start a player with lesser true talent

684
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 5: just to get that advantage. It spressed me. I wasn't surprised,

685
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 5: as a big word. I would have started Griffin Conine

686
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 5: instead of whether it was Slater or like one of

687
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 5: those right rights that are in the lineup. I would

688
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 5: have just played who I think is the better offensive

689
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 5: player all round in CO nine. And so me personally,

690
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 5: I think they're leaning a bit too much into that

691
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 5: side of it, just considering that the results last year

692
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 5: weren't really great, Like the team overall performed well offensively,

693
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 5: but it wasn't because necessarily all that Manu rink going on.

694
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 5: So we'll see how it plays out. But I think

695
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,479
Speaker 5: this kind of set the tone for how they're going

696
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 5: to do things this season, where the lineup is just

697
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 5: going to look way different against right e's than against lefties.

698
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 5: They're not going to have a consistent lineup. It took

699
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 5: them how many months last season to repeat a lineup?

700
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 5: I swear they did not repeat a lineup using more

701
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 5: than once until July something like that. So I think

702
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 5: we're in for a very similar thing uh this year.

703
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 5: That's something that fans will warm up to if it works,

704
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 5: and then if it doesn't work, that's naturally going to

705
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 5: be the first place that they complain.

706
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: Kevin, I'm not sure if you've checked out the team

707
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: store yet, but obviously in the moral Uns released the

708
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: new throwback alternate teal jerseys today in team store. Just

709
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen it yet. How's the

710
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: inventory looking. I heard that it might be all completely rinse.

711
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: And how many Teal jers that you've seen, erhaps I

712
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: let your mindset on just walking around the park so far.

713
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 9: A lot of jerseys stand, a lot of field jerseys

714
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 9: on the field for batting practice. I have gone into

715
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 9: the team store that I know, mister Rever Marlin's is

716
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 9: rocking the Javier Son no hub deeal jersey of all

717
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 9: the players they could have chosen. About it's okay, but yes,

718
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 9: the Deal jerseys are out and about.

719
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 10: They're going quick and I think there's a reason why.

720
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 9: And it's a lot of custom names on the back,

721
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 9: so it's like, you know, people had their own last

722
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 9: name on there or like certain things that they want

723
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 9: to put in the back of the jersey. So that's cool.

724
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 9: But yeah, a lot of Deal jerseys. And the ballpark

725
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 9: is I know Isaac posted the photo, but there's a

726
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 9: pretty long line outside two hours before first pitch, so

727
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 9: it's filling it nicely. There's already people up in the

728
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 9: final deck of the ballpark upper deck, so that's a

729
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 9: good thing to know. So yeah, it should be an

730
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 9: exciting night. They didn't I didn't think they sent sellout

731
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 9: at least in terms of parking. All parking is gonna

732
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 9: sell out, so that that would indicate that it's gonna

733
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 9: be a very full opening day or opening night at

734
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 9: the ballpark.

735
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,720
Speaker 5: It seems like we're in a good place with tours,

736
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 5: all things considered, because he spoke to you guys just

737
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 5: yesterday where he had that update about how he's already

738
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 5: running a bit and then just give us the latest.

739
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 5: You saw him again doing some jogging, right.

740
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 9: He was doing some jogging like jogging, but he says

741
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 9: he's been doing a lot more baseball activities, which is

742
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 9: good to fit to see. And he didn't say specifically

743
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 9: if three to four weeks meant three to four weeks

744
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 9: until he's reassessed, with three to four weeks until he's

745
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 9: get to go, that's still not known exactly yet.

746
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 10: I would assume within those three to four.

747
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 9: Weeks he does indeed go on a rehab assignment to

748
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 9: Chapsville and we'll see where he goes from them, or

749
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 9: who knows, maybe he doesn't in Jupiter, just you know,

750
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 9: get some at bats.

751
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 10: And but it needs me noticed Star Wars was out

752
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 10: for a lot of springs.

753
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 9: So these games that he plays wherever, maybe if it's

754
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 9: a Triple A or Jupiter or wherever it is, it's

755
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 9: it's gonna be very valuable for him, just given the

756
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 9: lack of games that he didn't play during spring training

757
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 9: with the injury that he did have. So this is

758
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 9: huge for him. And I mean maybe you're looking like

759
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 9: and in April for his return mid to late April. Honestly,

760
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 9: maybe that's a little too late for it, but it

761
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 9: s be at some point that's time.

762
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 5: To answer Ryan's question about teal Jersey prices, I know

763
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 5: that online through Fanatics it was one fifty plus tax

764
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 5: on top of that. I imagine it's similar at the ballpark,

765
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 5: But yeah, I think that's kind of the neighborhood is

766
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 5: in the mid one hundreds when it comes to those,

767
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 5: maybe a little bit more if you're gonna customize it

768
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 5: and the there's an authentic version. I'm trying to see

769
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 5: what exactly they're calling it online. There's this super deluxe

770
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 5: four hundred dollars version that the only difference is it

771
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 5: has like the ADT patch on it. I've always rolled

772
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 5: my eyes at that they charge more just to have

773
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 5: an ad on it, because that makes it completely a

774
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 5: more genuine replica in terms of what the players use.

775
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 5: So we really want to totally shell out to get

776
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 5: the best I don't know best to get the the

777
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 5: highest end version of that. There's that one as well

778
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 5: that actually has the Jersey patch add on it.

779
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: I know that's a deal breaker for Somemming if they

780
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: can't rock the adt Patch. They're not getting the jersey,

781
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: so I'm happy they're you know, hearing out every fan

782
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: out there. Where did you go?

783
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 5: Mm hm, We'll be talking about Troy Troy Johnston, I

784
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 5: think later on a way with a Rockies guest Patrick

785
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 5: Lyons from the Rockies Insider. But Kevin, have you seen

786
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 5: a glimpse of him? I have communicated with him via

787
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 5: social media just earlier today, and he's even though he's

788
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 5: not starting in this game, you know there's a good

789
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,479
Speaker 5: chance that he plays to night and that he plays

790
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 5: quite a bit in this series. So what is what

791
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 5: can you tell us about Troy in his first major

792
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 5: league opening day as an opposing player.

793
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 9: I'm pretty sure he's actually stepping into the box round

794
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 9: now to take VP. But yeah, Troy's here.

795
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 10: I got to see Hm.

796
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 9: They strakers the Rockies at the morning practice, and I

797
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 9: guess I got here right as they were leaving. So yeah,

798
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 9: spoke to Bits. He's obviously excited. I think he missed

799
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 9: with Miami just a little bit. I think he would

800
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 9: have been pretty useful right about now with the whole

801
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 9: first base situation and his versatility.

802
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 10: But yeah, no, he's here, that's wrong.

803
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 9: He will do something. I can promise you that. And yeah,

804
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 9: he's excited to be a Rocky. He's gonna get a

805
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 9: lot of opportunity here. I know he barely made the

806
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 9: roster to begin with, but uh, yeah, no, he's here

807
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 9: in Miami, and I know we spoke to Clayton about

808
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 9: it during a darn.

809
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 10: Our season preview episode on Fish and Filter.

810
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 5: Mm hmm, anything else we went from Kevin while he's

811
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 5: on here, we have his prediction that will play at

812
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 5: the end of the show. Both him and Alex Krutchick

813
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 5: on site for us in the press, Fox Isacazoud is

814
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 5: in the stands. We've crutch It sliding in right now.

815
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 5: Thank you for your service. Yeah, I guess we've already

816
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 5: posted the videos.

817
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 2: But uh.

818
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 5: To listening on this answer a question. I know that

819
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 5: you guys spoke with Chris Paddock and you spoke with

820
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 5: Griffin Conine game. Any interesting takeaways from those conversations And also, oh,

821
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 5: that reminds me that didn't they make some big renovations

822
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 5: to the clubhouse since the last time that we saw

823
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 5: it last season.

824
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: I think every time he brings on trut it can't

825
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 1: contain the sets and freezes.

826
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 5: I think we got to give him a few seconds.

827
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 5: Those are both posted already on both the YouTube channel

828
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 5: and on our website, with Griffin Conine entering in the

829
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 5: second opening day and Paddock coming making a bit of

830
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 5: a full circle moment finally pitching for the team that

831
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 5: drafted him. He's slaved to start on Monday. If we

832
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,959
Speaker 5: have you guys back connected again, Uh, let's hear it

833
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 5: for you. Just conversations with them. Yeah, we can hear

834
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 5: you now, your conversations with them pregame and this here

835
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 5: the last season.

836
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 12: The clubhouse looks great, looks clean, looks bright. Yeah, Griffin

837
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 12: co nine, He's literally just one of the fans. Sometimes

838
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 12: you're really reminded that he did, in fact grow up

839
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 12: in South Florida watching baseball, obviously.

840
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 10: Because he is available in because.

841
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 12: Then we asked him what his favorite memory was, and

842
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 12: just like a lot of people on Twitter, his favorite

843
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 12: memory was.

844
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 10: In two thousand and nine new scorecards are available.

845
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 2: In the.

846
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 5: I think that jumps out to everybody seeing that moment. Well, yeah,

847
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 5: we'll let you guys go from here. Then crutch It

848
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 5: and Kevin be sure to follow them along. I'm sure

849
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 5: they're gonna have more to say after the game as

850
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 5: well on our site. So enjoy fellows. The first of

851
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 5: one sixty two, the first of eighty one home games,

852
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 5: and we're hoping as a group FF to cover as

853
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 5: many of those home games as we can, so off

854
00:41:54,520 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 5: to a good start. I think from there we should

855
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 5: we can get back to what we were previously doing

856
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 5: about this roundtable and some of the questions that I

857
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 5: thought were kind of interesting and people's responses varied a

858
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 5: little bit, let me return to that. It was just

859
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 5: a five question thing, and we talked about the first

860
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 5: two about how the most interesting offseason move and guys

861
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 5: that we thought would be proved this season. So this is,

862
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 5: I know, always a hot topic. And for the third

863
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 5: one in this roundtable that I had was if you

864
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 5: ran the Marlins front office, which player would you be

865
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 5: most focused on signing to a long term extension? Jeremia,

866
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 5: I do remember what you put down and what your

867
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 5: thoughts were on this.

868
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would try to extend Jacob Marcy because I

869
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 2: truly view him as a five tool type player.

870
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 3: He does it all.

871
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 2: Can play defense, he's fast, can hit for some power,

872
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 2: good contact, I mean, the best plate discipline in the organization.

873
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 2: Everybody's gonna say Yuri, and I understand that is a

874
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 2: popular choice. Here's why didn't choose URI's because I don't

875
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 2: think they can sign Yuri to a contract extension. I

876
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 2: think that window is closed, and to at least a

877
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 2: team friendly extension. Yuri is too talented. He's gonna make

878
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 2: a ton of money, and I think if you wanted

879
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 2: to sign Uri Perez to a team friendly extension, it

880
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 2: just doesn't make sense for his party.

881
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:28,720
Speaker 3: So that's why I picked Marcy.

882
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,959
Speaker 5: I want to a little bit off the map here

883
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 5: in terms of what people would expect. I went with

884
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 5: Joe Mack first and foremost, considering that my skepticism about

885
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 5: Augustine as a catcher means that there's gonna be a

886
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 5: whole lot of playing time available back there, and that

887
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 5: Mac I just couldn't say more positive things about where

888
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 5: he is defensively and intangibly as a player. I think

889
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 5: he's a guy that is going to add a lot

890
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 5: of value to this team, almost regardless of whether he

891
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 5: gets on base as a player, but he's a guy

892
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 5: that is gonna hit for power, and to pile that

893
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 5: on top of it, everything he does defensively in the

894
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 5: fact that he is just turning twenty three years old,

895
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 5: so he's even a little bit younger than Marcie. That

896
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 5: also the fact that catchers usually don't get extended at

897
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 5: this stage of their careers, and I think that works

898
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 5: in the Marlins favor in terms of a guy that

899
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 5: I would expect to be quite a bit cheaper than

900
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 5: some of the other logical extension candidates, even cheaper than

901
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 5: Marcie at this point, given that Marcie has now done

902
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 5: at the big league level and somebody that probably is

903
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 5: a higher ceiling. Offensively, I like Mac as a guy

904
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 5: that would be really creative, one that I think is

905
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 5: highly unlikely to happen, just given the fact that catchers

906
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 5: themselves have shorter careers. That's part of the reason why

907
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 5: you don't get these extensions. There are guys that are

908
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 5: amazing in their mid twenties, and then by the time

909
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 5: they get to twenty nine, they're essentially out of the

910
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 5: league or barely staying on in the first place. That

911
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 5: position is pretty unforgiving to you physically, so I understand

912
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 5: like the risk involved with that, but overall, I think

913
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 5: that's one that it's relatively low risk and still a

914
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 5: really high reward given that what he's done to especial

915
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 5: really two seasons in a row in the upper miners,

916
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,240
Speaker 5: just checking so many boxes as an all around player,

917
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 5: the way that he compliments this pitching staff in particular too,

918
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 5: regardless of how long he plays with Sandy, being with

919
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 5: Uri in particular, those are guys that really struggle to

920
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 5: control the running game and to have somebody that specializes

921
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 5: in doing that, I feel like that's going to be

922
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 5: such a complimentary piece that allows them to the classic

923
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 5: teammate that makes your teammates better because of the skill

924
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 5: set that he has. That would be I'd be looking

925
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 5: at something that covers all of his pre rbers, all

926
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 5: his r beers, and then a couple of club options

927
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 5: at the end, so that you're essentially getting him for

928
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 5: what you would expect to be the overwhelming majority of

929
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 5: his career at a price that I think would be

930
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 5: lower than some of these others. But I did Uri

931
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 5: is a guy that I do feel pretty positively about

932
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 5: as well, even though this is kind of that window

933
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 5: is really closing, if it is perhaps a right closed

934
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 5: when it comes to getting him at a price that

935
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 5: makes any sort of sense for the Marlins just because

936
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 5: his talent is so obvious and he's a lot closer

937
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 5: to get into free agency. He's only four years away

938
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 5: at this point from testing the market, and as long

939
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 5: as if he if they let him throw any number

940
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 5: of pitches in regular season games. I just think that

941
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 5: he's that the temptation of seeing at the end of

942
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 5: the line, seeing a contract worth hundreds and hundreds of

943
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 5: millions of dollars potentially is going to make him a

944
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 5: really tough guy to lock up there. Where do you

945
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 5: lean Nate, who comes to mind first when it comes

946
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 5: to extension, Guys who'd put at the top of your list.

947
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 1: Well to answered the question itself most focused on as

948
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: one hundred percent year, I mean that Drive could easily

949
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: have an amazing season. He has the best forcing fastball

950
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: in all of baseball. He'd easily go out there and

951
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,439
Speaker 1: be a feed on by the All Star rate. People

952
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: want to talk about how quick Jacob Nzarawski was last

953
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: year to get that attention from the media. People forget

954
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: man like Euripro's still super young. His stuff is his stuff, sonreal.

955
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: He had two bad outings last year that took away

956
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: from what would have been just a really good bounce

957
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: back from Tom and John. Yeah, that guess going to

958
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: be a said. I think that, like you guys have

959
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: both said, I echo both of you, that time is ticking. Man,

960
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: if they wanted to do it, twenty twenty three was there. Obviously,

961
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four was not good. But if you just

962
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: saw his stuff last year when he returned to the Bitch,

963
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: I think that was the perfect time. Perfect is I

964
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,959
Speaker 1: guess hyperbole because they could have done it, like I said,

965
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: multiple years ago. I don't think that's even realistic at

966
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: this point anymore. Unfortunately, because like you guys have also mentioned,

967
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: the time's ticking, he's going to be a free agent

968
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: in four years because he debuted already three years ago. Now,

969
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna goe with Jeremiah Lean Jacob Marcy pretty

970
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: much exactly what he said, man, I mean this, the

971
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: discipline at the plate enough is spectacular. I probably want

972
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: to just see one more month of production, maybe you know,

973
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, man, just you can compare it

974
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,720
Speaker 1: to Roman Anthony obviously not the same prospect of pedigree,

975
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: but he came up red Soft saw him at the

976
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: big league level. They guess they both really have great

977
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,399
Speaker 1: play discipline, so something in Colin there, But don't waste

978
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: your time with this guy. You can do it on

979
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: the outfield to hit for power. You know he's a

980
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: five told ride. There's no need to waste time. I

981
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: think they missed the window on Eurie, but now you've

982
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,760
Speaker 1: got to get it done for a guy like Jacob Marcy.

983
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 5: Going on to number four on this round table that

984
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 5: we've had on the site entering the twenty twenty sixth season,

985
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 5: what is this team's biggest strength and biggest weakness? Jeremiah.

986
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 2: I think the biggest strength is the young core the

987
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,800
Speaker 2: offensive course. Specifically, you look at a guy like Augustine Ramirez,

988
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 2: who I know you're super high on eli as being

989
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 2: possibly the best offensive player on the team this season.

990
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 3: You're gonna have Owen.

991
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 2: Casey, who's a top prospect that he was the Cub's

992
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 2: best prospect. The front off has coveted him for months.

993
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 2: I mean going back to last offseason. You have Kyle Stowers,

994
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 2: who isn't really super young. I think he's twenty. This

995
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: is his age twenty eight season, if I'm not mistaken,

996
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 2: but still fairly young in terms of major league experience.

997
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 2: Xavier edwards you can count. I just think if everybody

998
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 2: takes a step forward, this lineup is going to be

999
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 2: pretty good. I don't think it's going to be akin

1000
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 2: to the lineups of old, where there's zero power and

1001
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 2: zero runs and we're seen just drought after drought of scoring.

1002
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 2: It just depends if everybody continues taking positive steps forward

1003
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 2: and don't they don't go back in their development, right

1004
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 2: like Kyle Stowers. First, get on the field, get healthy,

1005
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 2: and then how are you going to, you know, perform

1006
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 2: in your sophomore season kind of like third season, but

1007
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 2: really a sophomore season in terms of full playing time.

1008
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 2: The weakness I picked is the back end of the rotation.

1009
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 2: I just have no confidence behind Yuri and Sandy. I

1010
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 2: was surprised that they optioned Brax and Garrett.

1011
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 3: I really was. I did not expect that Jansen Junk

1012
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 3: is fine as a four to five, but Chris Paddock's.

1013
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 2: Coming off of an awful season. And then you have

1014
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 2: Max Meyer, who, you guys know, I am not a

1015
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 2: believer in Max Meyer as a starting pitcher.

1016
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 3: I'm just not. And I think they're running this experiment

1017
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 3: way too long.

1018
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 2: The caveat to this, I'll conclude with this is when

1019
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: Snelling comes up, and maybe Thomas White comes up later

1020
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,479
Speaker 2: this season, the back end of the rotation could become

1021
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 2: a strength. I just think as it is constructed right now,

1022
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 2: it's clearly a weakness.

1023
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 5: So with me, I went with the biggest strength being

1024
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 5: their played discipline as a team, and it really starts

1025
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 5: with Marsie most of all. He's a wizard when it

1026
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 5: comes to that and already showed it. That was a

1027
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 5: big reason why he had so much success in the

1028
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 5: upper miners, and it translated immediately. I still remember his

1029
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 5: debut so immediately, not just because it was a crazy,

1030
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 5: crazy win against the Yankees that night when he was

1031
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 5: called a bright after the trade headline, but because he

1032
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 5: worked several really close walks against left handed pitching too

1033
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:00,359
Speaker 5: as a left handed hitter. And that is one thing

1034
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 5: where I've noticed the same sort of development with other

1035
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 5: players on this team. There's a lot of credit that

1036
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 5: goes to player development with the Marlins, where it seems

1037
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 5: like they've kind of cracked a code in terms of

1038
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 5: how to help their hitters better, either identify the pitch

1039
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 5: types out of the hand or hunting for certain pitches

1040
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 5: in locations and not trying to understanding what where hitters

1041
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 5: best see the ball, so that putting them in a

1042
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 5: position where they're more patient overall and working themselves into

1043
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 5: better accounts, it does lead itself to more walks overall.

1044
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 5: I think that is one of the main goals here

1045
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 5: as a team for I looked it up that the

1046
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 5: Marlins were dead last in Baseball in chase rate just

1047
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 5: a couple of years ago. In twenty twenty four they

1048
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 5: chased the most often, and then last year they were

1049
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 5: tied for eighth in all Major League Baseball and chase rate.

1050
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 5: And to make that kind of improvement with some continuity

1051
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 5: on their roster too between now and then, but a

1052
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,439
Speaker 5: lot of the differences in the roster coming from guys

1053
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 5: that were rookies last year too, I think that is

1054
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 5: a really encouraging sign because that is something that typically

1055
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 5: only gets better as you have more experience in the league.

1056
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 5: So now that there's going to be more playing time

1057
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 5: this season, we expect from co nine compared to last year,

1058
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,240
Speaker 5: from Grand Pauli compared to last year, and from Marcia

1059
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 5: of course that Marcia was only up two months last

1060
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 5: year and now should get six months of him. Those

1061
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 5: guys alone just getting more played appearances and affecting the

1062
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 5: team as a whole in a more substantial way. That

1063
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 5: this team is going to be really high up there

1064
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,879
Speaker 5: in terms of their walk rate, in terms of how

1065
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 5: often they get into hit or friendly counts, and I

1066
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 5: think that overall is going to That's one of the

1067
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 5: when you look at how teams overachieve offensively, part of

1068
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 5: it is getting into just better counts overall, then all

1069
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 5: hitters improve. You're a much better version of yourself if

1070
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 5: you are ahead in the count compared to when you're not.

1071
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 5: And I was really encouraged by what I saw last

1072
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 5: year from just an overall team approach when it comes

1073
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 5: to that. But that seems kind of sustainable for me.

1074
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 5: So to you U Nate on this and this is

1075
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 5: a this is a more difficult one to do on

1076
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 5: short notice, but biggest strength and biggest weakness as you

1077
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 5: see it, I.

1078
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: Have a different one. I'm gonna go with the speed

1079
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: of this team. Not so much firsatility, but the speed

1080
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 1: and the youthfulness. It's something I've talked to Playton about

1081
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: in Jupiter. A couple of weeks sow and I got

1082
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:10,919
Speaker 1: the chance to Trevor game there they stole I believe

1083
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 1: five bases that game, and he talked about how much

1084
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: of an emphasis. He also mentioned this on the Fisher

1085
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: and Field to be with Kevin and Isaac about how

1086
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: much emphasis they'd put on stealing bases. Obviously was a

1087
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 1: huge scene last year because you know, you obviously had

1088
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 1: a former first base coach to be your manager, and

1089
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: I think to go, wow, you got to Xavier Edwards

1090
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: and steal a lot of bases. Not so much for

1091
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: this offseason. They've really put a huge, huge emphasis on it.

1092
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 1: Even guys audust in your mirrors, he stole what sixteen

1093
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: bases last year at stole twenty seven. Jacob Marcy always

1094
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: fourteen obviously in what two months sample size and audit was. Well,

1095
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: maybe Connor Rby when he's healthy, can steal using bases

1096
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: as well. Obviously Estriva Reids would have been perfect for

1097
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: this this hypothesis ideas, but unfortunately he's gonna be on

1098
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: the ILF for a little bit. It seems outside of that. Obviously,

1099
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 1: your front two in the rotation. I think it's definitely

1100
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: a strong suit, but I guess so the weaknesses like

1101
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: share similar to what Jemiah said, just not enough. You know,

1102
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,720
Speaker 1: reliable guys in the back end of your rotation, especially

1103
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: with Matt's I'm a bit of a chance and junk

1104
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:09,879
Speaker 1: guys you could ever find. Trust me, I love the guy,

1105
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: I just don't know how reliable he's going to be

1106
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: for an entire season. Outside of that, it brings me

1107
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,720
Speaker 1: to the scene of Moneyball when Ron Washington is talking

1108
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: to Scott Habibart about playing first base. It is not

1109
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: that easy. In his own words, it's incredibly hard. You

1110
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: can't just throw a baseball player and go play first base.

1111
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: It's not as easy as it seems. They're going to

1112
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 1: try the Connan Roby experiment. They've heard about Griffin Tonin

1113
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: obviously christ Fromrell, who's already down with an injury today,

1114
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:36,919
Speaker 1: So I think that's going to be a whole circus there.

1115
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned earlier, the Marlins have kind of been

1116
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: in first basement limbo after Matt Murvis is lynd Sandy

1117
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: stretch team doing end in last April, so it's going

1118
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: to be interesting to see what they do. Obviously, if

1119
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: Davison was more consistent at the plate, you probably bring

1120
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 1: him up, and if the Marlins decided to keep Troy

1121
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: johnsonrounding to be a different story. But you never know,

1122
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: Maybe one of these guys can figure it out. But

1123
00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: just like the small things, like you said, you like

1124
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,439
Speaker 1: cutting the ball off from right and that to lose

1125
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: your body and that can give up a run. So

1126
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 1: a lot ins and outs of a position like first base,

1127
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting to see how these marlins and

1128
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: how to beat it.

1129
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 5: I skipped it over, but first base was also the

1130
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 5: one that I picked for my weakness as well. Maybe

1131
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 5: morell is you hate to say, but somewhat of an

1132
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 5: addition by subtraction, just given what we'd seen so far,

1133
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 5: don't want to overreact, and even the most severe oblique strain,

1134
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 5: he should be back for the vast majority of the season,

1135
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 5: we would think, so I just wanted to give a

1136
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 5: nod to that that. One of the reasons for my

1137
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,879
Speaker 5: pessimism is because I felt that it would be too

1138
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,879
Speaker 5: much moral in that position. So at least we'll get

1139
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 5: to see a wider variety of players try first for

1140
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 5: the foreseeable future, and maybe one of them clicks. Ultimately,

1141
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 5: that's kind of the spot that would be the best

1142
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:50,280
Speaker 5: case scenario is that if even one of these candidates

1143
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 5: that have that ability really take the opportunity and run

1144
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 5: with it, and so that you have some stability at

1145
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 5: that spot that on its own would help raise standard

1146
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 5: compared to where it was last year. The final question

1147
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 5: that was in the roundtable was just predicting the Marlins

1148
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 5: win loss record and team MVP. What was yours, Jeremiah?

1149
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 2: I had the Marlins going eighty two and eighty and

1150
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 2: stours as MVP. If he stays healthy, I think he's

1151
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 2: gonna replicate what he did last year.

1152
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 5: As usual, I was a bit more pessimistic than the consensus,

1153
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 5: but only by a bit. In this case, I went

1154
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 5: with seventy eight and eighty four for their team record,

1155
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 5: specifying that I think they're going to have under the hood.

1156
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 5: I think they'll be a better team than they were

1157
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 5: last year, and as reflected in their run differential, they

1158
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 5: should score a few more runs and I think they

1159
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 5: should also allow a few less runs. Their starting rotation

1160
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 5: was so bad at the start of last season that

1161
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 5: I think, even with the understandable concerns that you guys

1162
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 5: are aised about, that's it'll be hard not to improve

1163
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 5: a little bit compared to that. So that I think

1164
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,439
Speaker 5: overall they're going to I wouldn't call it a step forward,

1165
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 5: but I wouldn't call it a step back either in

1166
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 5: this case. But I think they do end up in

1167
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 5: a situation where it's not quite as dramatic down the stretch.

1168
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 5: I don't think they'll be in postseason contention into the

1169
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 5: final leak of the season. Last year got a little

1170
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 5: fortunate with the fact that the whole National League Wild

1171
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 5: Card race was a total train wreck, the fact that

1172
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 5: they even had a chance to get in by being

1173
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 5: slightly over five hundred. Usually the threshold is higher than that,

1174
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 5: and I think it will be this year. My team MVP,

1175
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 5: I went with Eerie being it for this year. As

1176
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 5: long as he stays mostly healthy, that's going to be

1177
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 5: the key when it comes to it, because I think

1178
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 5: the talent is so obvious with him, and as long

1179
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 5: as he's on the field, he's going to dial up

1180
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 5: a ton of strikeouts and I think the run prevention

1181
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 5: is going to be significantly better than it was last

1182
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:47,959
Speaker 5: year with him. So what would you go with Nate

1183
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 5: for both of these?

1184
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Marlins are gaining a little and losing a little,

1185
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 1: So with that being said, I have him going seventy

1186
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 1: nine and eighty three for the second straight year. I

1187
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 1: remember my first year doing this round table back in

1188
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. I was a little bit too and

1189
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: mister I had the Marlin Stone and I think eighty

1190
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: two and eighty and made me the playoffs. And we

1191
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 1: all know what happened in twenty twenty four. So I'm

1192
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: gonna just stay even keel this year. And for Team MVP,

1193
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: I think you gonna have a huge year. Like I said,

1194
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: I think he could easily be an All Star this year.

1195
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: But I talked about it earlier. Man, I think this

1196
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: is the year August Senior mires when Joe matt Is

1197
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: brought up, he is gonna I think he's gonna have

1198
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: thirty armors this year. This is here to take off

1199
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: at the plate that a little porch and left field

1200
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: gen Carlos Stanton left to go to from twenty twelve

1201
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: all the way to twenty seventeen, I think our senior

1202
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: mare is gonna start making the name for himself over

1203
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 1: there in that alley this season.

1204
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 5: Right at the midpoint of our stream, we at mister

1205
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 5: FLF prospects Alex Carver joining us. I think that's gonna

1206
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 5: be a great cue for us to talk some prospects stuff,

1207
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 5: because there is news, quite a bit of news today

1208
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 5: on that front, some of it from Carver directly, So

1209
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:51,360

Speaker 5: Thanks again to jet Ski Rentals of South Florida for

1228
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 5: sponsoring our program. Where do we want to start, Carter,

1229
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 5: It's been a busy day. I guess we'll start with

1230
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 5: the easiest place. Is that coming up in an hour,

1231
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 5: Triple A Jacksonville is taking the field, so I imagine

1232
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 5: that Robbie Snelling would be the place to start there.

1233
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 5: This is a guy that we thought might break camp

1234
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 5: with the Marlins initially, and he ends up he's maybe

1235
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 5: the first guy out when it comes to this rotation picture.

1236
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 5: How much more do we need to see from Snelling tonight,

1237
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 5: in the next few weeks until you think that he

1238
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 5: breaks through to the big leagues.

1239
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 3: Not much.

1240
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 6: I thought that he was in a prime position to

1241
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 6: potentially break camp with the Marlins, but you also understand

1242
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 6: the business side when it comes to service time manipulation.

1243
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 6: This is a guy that's going to be around for

1244
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 6: a bit with the Marlins. Definitely a piece that they

1245
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 6: can have long term if they wish. It's great control,

1246
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 6: it's good stuff, it's a deep arsenal. It's kind of

1247
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 6: their their prototypical picture that they really like. So he's

1248
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 6: going to get I guess what you would call like

1249
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 6: final tune up, I guess in TRIPAA to start the year,

1250
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 6: but I would expect him to be the first picture

1251
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 6: up as soon as the Marlins seen an arm, whether

1252
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 6: that be Junk goes back to the bullpen or that

1253
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 6: would probably be my most likely scenarios that John goes

1254
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 6: back to the bullpen as a long guy and Snelling

1255
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 6: steps into his position, but or Meyer struggles and maybe

1256
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 6: they make the move of him to the bullpen. Whatever.

1257
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 6: Maybe Snelling is is ready now. So I just think

1258
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 6: it's it's going to be prime, prime area for him

1259
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:21,959
Speaker 6: to come up as soon as the mornins to picture.

1260
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 5: I'm gonna pull up the lineup in just one second

1261
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 5: here for Triple A Jacksonville. Yeah, looking at all the

1262
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 5: usual suspects, you know me yeah yeah, let me just

1263
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 5: pulling up in a moment. But Nate, what do you

1264
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 5: think about the aspect that they're reigning Triple A national

1265
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 5: champions That's yeah, that's a it's an interesting they get

1266
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 5: rings to go along with it. They uh, there's you know,

1267
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 5: it's it's something right that uh, they allowed the same

1268
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 5: guys are part of that championship team now gets to

1269
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 5: defend their championship, but at the same time they kind

1270
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 5: of don't want to defend their championship because they'd rather

1271
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 5: be playing in the Big League. It's one of those

1272
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 5: interesting dichotomies where you it's an achievement, but at the

1273
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 5: same time it's only it's a step away from doing

1274
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 5: something a whole lot bigger with your career.

1275
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's cool. It's definitely cool to as a group

1276
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: those guys that you know are come up together and

1277
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: win together. I'm not sure if you know. When I

1278
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 1: talked to Christian Gellwich last year, we talked about how

1279
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: fun it was playing with JT. Real Milton, all those

1280
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 1: guys especially. But winning the Triple A Nashville Championship is

1281
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 1: something that, like you said, even though it is Triple A,

1282
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: it's still same that can never take away from you,

1283
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 1: and it's it's stood for the organization that a lot

1284
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: of guys are coming up together and winning for defers,

1285
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: asked toddlife, I don't know, if you're a freshman on

1286
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: a college football team and they win, you don't really

1287
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 1: do much, but it still counts for something. So, uh,

1288
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: it's different way to look at it. But guys like

1289
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: Joe Mack. Obviously it's funny, like you say, like he

1290
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: doesn't want to defend his Triple A title, but I

1291
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: guess by the time he is there, they don't want

1292
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 1: to win. And Jacksonall is a great fan base.

1293
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 6: Of course.

1294
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: I remember when I visited there last year. There's always

1295
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people around the stadium. Today. Should be

1296
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 1: a nice day at Vistar Ballpark. I hope are still

1297
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: calling it. That would be embarrassing if they're not. Okay,

1298
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: sweet they cut the sponsorship. Yeah, it should be a

1299
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: fun day at the part for them and a lot

1300
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: of the guys like you said that are still in

1301
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 1: that lineup defending their title, even National Championship Game hero

1302
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: Jacob Barry, they're in the sixth holes. So yeah, it's

1303
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: it's a weird situation, but those guys didn't range.

1304
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 7: Should be fun.

1305
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: Hopefully can get another one at the highest level in

1306
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: a few years.

1307
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 5: To read the full line up, just for those that

1308
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 5: are audio only on this, Andrew Pintar leading off playing

1309
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 5: center field. Davison Dalla Santos. We already talked quite a

1310
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 5: bit about him banting second, playing first base, Jill Mack

1311
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 5: batting third. He's catching Camp, Alderman clean up playing right field,

1312
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 5: Matthew Etzel betting fifth and playing left, Jacob Barry somehow

1313
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 5: still getting reps at third base and betting six, Nathan

1314
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 5: Martarella d hing betting seventh, and Jared Cerna and betting

1315
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 5: eighth playing second base, and then Hasu's besides, he's the

1316
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 5: one guy here that's not a conventional prospect. He signed

1317
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 5: as a minor league free agent, and he's their shortstop

1318
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 5: betting ninth. Just your gut reaction, Jeremiah, what sticks out

1319
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 5: to you about the way they ordered this lineup in

1320
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 5: the positions these guys are playing.

1321
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 6: Well.

1322
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 2: I like the top five Pintar through Etzel and then

1323
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 2: six through nine. I'm not six through eight Pastidas is.

1324
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 2: I think you'll see him at some point playing for

1325
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 2: the Marlins this year in some capacity. Serna. It's a

1326
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 2: it's make or break time for Jared Cerna, Martarella. I'm

1327
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 2: out on Martarella, Barry.

1328
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 3: Same thing.

1329
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 2: But that top five guys like Pintar's fast Dayla Seno's power,

1330
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 2: mac power, Alderman power, Etzel, he has power too, and

1331
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 2: a really good eye at the plate. Like that's a

1332
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 2: dangerous top five, certainly a big year for Dealo Santos

1333
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 2: and a lot of aspects to prove himself again.

1334
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 5: It's still just twenty two years old. For the moment

1335
01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 5: he turns twenty three in June, it's almost impossible for

1336
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 5: me to wrap my mind around exactly how young he is.

1337
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 5: I didn't mean to be two rude to mister Martarella,

1338
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 5: but he just has not hit outside this really brief

1339
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 5: stretch in late twenty twenty four, just has not hit

1340
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 5: the way that they thought he would, as a guy

1341
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 5: that had almost as much prospect hype as Marcy when

1342
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 5: they made that trade a couple of years ago, and

1343
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 5: just hasn't translated the way they thought it would. Sarna

1344
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 5: is a guy that I'm still relatively high on, despite

1345
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 5: high on just relative to how much he struggled last

1346
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 5: year that I still have some hope for him bouncing back.

1347
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 5: We should get to the news on some other guys

1348
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 5: Carver that we reported today, a few getting released from

1349
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 5: the organization as well. I know you had a rehab

1350
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 5: update on Emmitt Olsen as well, but I guess we

1351
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 5: should start with the biggest name among the departures, with

1352
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 5: Yiddi Cape. How it's been now over five years since

1353
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 5: they signed him, so you know, they did give him

1354
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 5: quite a long leash, but still interesting timing coming off again,

1355
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 5: it was competing in the WBC just a few weeks

1356
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 5: ago and kind of acclimated himself pretty well there. But

1357
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 5: this is ultimately this is a three point five million

1358
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 5: dollar failure for the Marlins. They made a big comitment

1359
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 5: to him and never really came close to contributing at

1360
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 5: the big league level.

1361
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, unfortunate. A lot of tools that they thought he

1362
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 6: had coming out of that signing period in twenty twenty one.

1363
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 6: I guess it was just never developed. Physically, the tools

1364
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 6: never developed past the level of very raw defensively and offensively.

1365
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 6: Just just didn't really really live up to the hype.

1366
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 6: And unfortunately that happens sometimes with international prospects. You get

1367
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 6: them at a very young age. Scouting reports are pretty limited.

1368
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 6: You can have all the hype in the world, and

1369
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 6: unfortunately sometimes it doesn't work out. So unfortunate for the

1370
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 6: Marlins from the standpoint of money spent. I mean, you

1371
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 6: look at some of the big money guys. They've had

1372
01:06:55,600 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 6: an international free agency between Yudi and Victor Mesa, who

1373
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 6: of course is still technically a contracted player with the Marlins,

1374
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 6: but is not playing baseball. And it's been rough when

1375
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 6: they've gone after the big names in terms of how

1376
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 6: they panned out. So it's at least in terms of

1377
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 6: these two players. So yeah, it's it's unfortunate. I mean,

1378
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 6: hopefully he maybe winds up somewhere else and and Ken

1379
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 6: put it together with with some of those were all

1380
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 6: tools that he has. It just didn't really really pin

1381
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 6: out with with Miami. And I really point to the

1382
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 6: physical projection. I mean, he just never put on weight,

1383
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 6: the swing remained really long, didn't really do much defensively

1384
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 6: for you either. There was questions about even if he

1385
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 6: would stick at third base. He be signed as a shortstop,

1386
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 6: which a lot of these guys are, but could even

1387
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 6: play third base. He was injured a lot. I remember

1388
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 6: him breaking his wrist. You know, it hit a little

1389
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 6: bit last year while he was healthy, but was on

1390
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 6: and off the I l so their ability going into

1391
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 6: the question as well, just just a lot of of

1392
01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 6: of of of steps backwards rather than full for Yiddy

1393
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 6: so far in a young career but still twenty three.

1394
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 6: Maybe he winds up somewhere else and put something together.

1395
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 5: You know what is a Nate. What is your kind

1396
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 5: of history on on Yiddi? When did you start to

1397
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 5: have some doubts that he was actually gonna turn into

1398
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 5: a short stop of the future the way that he

1399
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 5: looked like, the way that they hoped that he would

1400
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 5: be when they originally signed him.

1401
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, trying of like what Carver, So, you can't really

1402
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: be too sure thing on a lot of these guys.

1403
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,600
Speaker 1: I remember when I first started following international scouting and

1404
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: what twenty nineteen, I thought Ean Louis was going to

1405
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 1: be the subdimazment of this team for a decade. So

1406
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 1: it happens, you know, It's just you can't really put

1407
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 1: too much socc into these guys. Unfortunately, when Yiddi did,

1408
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: he did look good. But just like Carver said, the

1409
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 1: body never really got there. Like you'd like to see

1410
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 1: some of these guys come Stateside and they're really just

1411
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 1: completely transform in addition to their skills. That just never

1412
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 1: happened for a guy like Yddy wasn't Jupiter for a

1413
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 1: very long time. I got to watch him in what

1414
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: twenty two I believe it was, I want to say,

1415
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 1: so just never really developed as a player. Unfortunately, defense

1416
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: was all right, But if you can't swing the stitch,

1417
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: you're not going to be rising through the range too fast.

1418
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 1: So wish him the best wherever he does end up.

1419
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: But that's international science.

1420
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:17,719
Speaker 5: For you, and only twenty three years old. It seems

1421
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 5: like a high likelihood that another minor league organization picks

1422
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 5: him up at some point, But in terms of the

1423
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 5: likelihood of him producing pretty low. You guys touched on

1424
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 5: it that it's just it's it shouldn't be taken for

1425
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 5: granted that just because the guy has this frame that

1426
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 5: you can dream on, that they're necessarily going to put

1427
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:35,799
Speaker 5: on weight and put it on in the right places

1428
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:39,560
Speaker 5: in order to actually change their yeah, to reach that

1429
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 5: ceiling that they had. And with him, it's I would

1430
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 5: see occasional updates on Instagram of him working out and

1431
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 5: him being very proud of what he was going through,

1432
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 5: but just it's sometimes more complicated than that in the

1433
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 5: way that it actually translates to what do you do

1434
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 5: as a as a baseball player? So, yeah, it's a

1435
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 5: tough break. Unfortunately, it's not an isolated incident. There are

1436
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 5: plenty examples of guys getting these seven figure signing bonuses

1437
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 5: and just not anmounting to anything, because whenever you're taking

1438
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 5: a chance on guys they're so young and have played

1439
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 5: so few organized games of any kind than the error

1440
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 5: bars are naturally very wide. Well let's talk about Dale

1441
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 5: Stanovich too, because this is a guy that was in

1442
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 5: I don't know if he was in Big Lee camp

1443
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 5: this year. I think he was this year and last year,

1444
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 5: and he pitched at Triple A a lot last season.

1445
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 5: I remember last season just hoping he'd put together a

1446
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 5: couple of good weeks in order to get called up

1447
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 5: because Marlin needed to left to your relief so badly

1448
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 5: last season. But yeah, Carver ultimately just not throwing enough

1449
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:42,719
Speaker 5: pitches in the zone to let his stuff like actually

1450
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 5: play up and actually have results. Too much control issues,

1451
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 5: especially last year.

1452
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he had that prime chance, like you said,

1453
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 6: when they were desperate for lefties, he had like a

1454
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 6: prime chance to get called up and just didn't thrown

1455
01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:57,640
Speaker 6: off strikes. I mean, that's what it comes down to

1456
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,760
Speaker 6: for him. It sucks. I had him to call a

1457
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:04,719
Speaker 6: contests already lost the guy. But I think Isaac Isac

1458
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:07,719
Speaker 6: Haddam last year. So the guy that we've been thinking

1459
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 6: could get the chance if he would just live in

1460
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 6: the strikes on more but not overpowering stuff. Has left

1461
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 6: handedness going for him, not a lot of pitches that

1462
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:15,639
Speaker 6: I think. It's just like a two pitch guy mostly.

1463
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:20,560
Speaker 6: So yeah, just just not enough strikes control problems. And

1464
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:23,960
Speaker 6: even when the Marlins desperately needed lefties, he wasn't called upon.

1465
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 6: So I guess Marlins thought he was expendable. I mean

1466
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 6: there's there's other lefties, I mean with signings of King

1467
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 6: and other guys that they now have a Nardi coming back,

1468
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 6: it's this guy that that's probably a bit more expendable

1469
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 6: now than he was last year. So yeah, uh, it's

1470
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 6: it's unfortunate for him. He was in the organization for

1471
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:45,680
Speaker 6: a while, but not anymore. So yeah, I think there

1472
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 6: was a chance, an open window for him that he missed,

1473
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 6: and he'll try to get it done somewhere else.

1474
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 5: Is a name that I heard of, maybe a little

1475
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 5: bit too much, just because on our My longtime staffer

1476
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:01,879
Speaker 5: at FLF is Hector Rodriguez, who also covers Rutgers baseball,

1477
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:04,559
Speaker 5: and Stanovich went to Rutgers. I think he's the only

1478
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 5: Rutgers guy that the Marlins have drafted in quite a

1479
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:10,599
Speaker 5: number of years he's pitching high leverage ennings over there,

1480
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 5: and even though though the expectations were pretty modest at

1481
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 5: the start of his pro career, somebody that paid kind

1482
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:19,439
Speaker 5: of close attention to just as a fun fact, he's

1483
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 5: a really incredible athlete overall for a guy that is undersized.

1484
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:26,640
Speaker 5: I remember seeing a lot of videos of him not

1485
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 5: just dunking of basketball, but doing it with style and

1486
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 5: doing he's able to generate a lot more velow than

1487
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 5: he would expect from a guy that is maybe five

1488
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 5: t ten or five eleven, just because of his overall

1489
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 5: athleticism just hasn't translated yet. And with him a little

1490
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 5: bit older at this point twenty six years old or so,

1491
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 5: maybe twenty seven, so fewer chances left to make that

1492
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 5: final leap to the big leagues overall. But yeah, but

1493
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 5: still Marlins are in pretty good shape when it comes

1494
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 5: to pitching depth. I think there's a good chance just

1495
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 5: to pull up some questions that we have in the

1496
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:04,599
Speaker 5: chat overall, we kind of touched on the extension part

1497
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 5: of it. I think this is right before Carver came

1498
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:09,759
Speaker 5: up as well, but just on the terms of contract extensions,

1499
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 5: we know the Marlins have gone more than four years

1500
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:14,760
Speaker 5: since signing anybody to any sort of extension. What do

1501
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 5: you think is the most likely one for them to

1502
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 5: get done?

1503
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 3: Carver?

1504
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 5: We kind of spoke before he came on about ones

1505
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 5: that we would prioritize if we were in the front office.

1506
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 5: But what do you think is the most realistic in

1507
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 5: terms of a guy that might actually be open and

1508
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 5: affordable to what the Marlins want to.

1509
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:30,280
Speaker 3: Do with that?

1510
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I put in the roundtable. I think

1511
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 6: I saw you guys going over that. But I think

1512
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 6: mine's got to be Marcie, just in terms of how

1513
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 6: well rounded that player is that plays all three outfield positions,

1514
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:47,640
Speaker 6: that doesn't swing when pitchers are very very close to

1515
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 6: the strikes on. I really like his patients and plate

1516
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:52,560
Speaker 6: presence which he's had, and the Marlins just made it

1517
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 6: better as he's grown through the miners and got to

1518
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:57,599
Speaker 6: the majors. The Marlins are now getting known for developing

1519
01:13:57,680 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 6: these left handed hitters. You know, they did it with Stours,

1520
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 6: they did it with Marci co nine even they've started

1521
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 6: to get more out of So Yeah, I mean, I

1522
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 6: think with how the Marlins have developed lefties and with

1523
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 6: what this player has already shown and with how young

1524
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 6: he is kind of cut from that same cloth as

1525
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 6: Stours while being younger than Stours. I think that that

1526
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:19,719
Speaker 6: Jacob Marcy is my guy. Plays all three outfield spots.

1527
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 6: You can put him in center field. He's gonna steal

1528
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 6: some bases, gonna hit some home runs, gonna get some doubles,

1529
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 6: really good play presence, really good athlete. Jacob Marcy, that

1530
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 6: that would be my main guy. With Yuri, yeah, you

1531
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 6: would love it, But I think the ship may have

1532
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 6: already sailed on that. I think the Marlins spent too

1533
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 6: much time trying to do that. I think he's gonna

1534
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 6: be out of the price range, honestly, especially with another

1535
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,720
Speaker 6: good year this year. You know, there's people even saying, oh,

1536
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 6: he could win the Soy Young this year, which isn't

1537
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:46,280
Speaker 6: out of his wheelhouse. I mean, I'm not gonna say

1538
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:47,640
Speaker 6: he's going to. I think it would be more of

1539
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 6: a bold prediction with what the National League hats pitching wise,

1540
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,200
Speaker 6: but not out of the question. And if that happens,

1541
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 6: if he stays healthy this year and does what he's

1542
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,680
Speaker 6: very capable of doing, then he's definitely out of the

1543
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:00,599
Speaker 6: Marlins price range. So I think they waited too long

1544
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:03,560
Speaker 6: on that. So Marcia would be my most realistic and

1545
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:05,920
Speaker 6: it wouldn't be a bad way to do it either,

1546
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 6: So I would like to see Marci stick around.

1547
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 5: I think we've done enough big picture stuff that we

1548
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:15,759
Speaker 5: can get into the actual meat of this opening series

1549
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 5: coming up in a moment before. If we got one

1550
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:22,599
Speaker 5: last advertiser to highlight here, Seek Geek.

1551
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 7: This is it Kratz opening weekend of the season. And

1552
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:29,280
Speaker 7: if you're looking for tickets for an MLB game and

1553
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 7: they're either sold out or you're just a little bit

1554
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 7: lost and you need some help, Sea Geek.

1555
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:35,600
Speaker 3: Is there for you.

1556
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,759
Speaker 7: It's not just a spot where you buy the tickets,

1557
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 7: is where you feel good about buying the tickets because

1558
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 7: they have your back with their features and you.

1559
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 8: Know you're gonna get a good price. That's that's the

1560
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 8: deal that everybody's looking for. But especially early in the

1561
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 8: season up here in the Northeast, you kind of want

1562
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 8: to go to a day game where you're still gonna

1563
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 8: be in the sun. It might shift during the summer,

1564
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 8: but hey, you know what, Seek will let you know

1565
01:15:57,040 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 8: exactly where you're sitting and if it's a good spot

1566
01:15:59,200 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 8: to watch the game.

1567
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:00,720
Speaker 6: That's right.

1568
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:02,920
Speaker 7: Each ticket is rated on a scale of one to ten,

1569
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 7: so you know you're getting a good deal. So look

1570
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 7: for the green dots. Green means good, red means bad.

1571
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 7: And of course we have a code for you. You

1572
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 7: can use code Territory ten for ten percent off your

1573
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 7: next set of tickets at Sea Geek. That's ten percent

1574
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,680
Speaker 7: off any tickets with promo code Territory one zero. Make

1575
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 7: sure you click the link in the description to download

1576
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:21,760
Speaker 7: the app and have the code automatically added to your

1577
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 7: account so you can use it later.

1578
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:29,600
Speaker 5: I think I pressed the wrong button that made the

1579
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:32,840
Speaker 5: ad stop playing a little bit early there. My apologies

1580
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 5: to Sea Geek. They have my unconditional support. But I

1581
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 5: guess we'll get into the lineups right here. Hold on, Yeah,

1582
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 5: I had to make a small adjustment here because, as

1583
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 5: we covered before with this Marlins team, they made a

1584
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 5: slight change at the last moment. Morell is out, Owen

1585
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 5: Casey is in, So we're going to see his Marlin

1586
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 5: say you, not as major league debut because he's already

1587
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 5: played a few games with the Cubs, but he will

1588
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,519
Speaker 5: be betting eight for the Marlins tonight as the d

1589
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 5: h of all things. So we talked a little bit

1590
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:08,880
Speaker 5: about this Jeremiah earlier on with Kevin when he was

1591
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:13,000
Speaker 5: on for his segment. Any other Yeah, takeaways from the

1592
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 5: way that they've constructed this lineup for the very first

1593
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 5: game of the season.

1594
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, personally, I would have moved Xavier Edwards up in

1595
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,800
Speaker 2: the order to hit leadoff. I know the lefty lefty

1596
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 2: matchup against Freeland, but I just think x is a

1597
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 2: really good table setter, even against the lefty. Slater batting

1598
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:38,559
Speaker 2: leadoff kind of surprised me. I like Marcia batting third,

1599
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 2: and I like Auto batting fourth.

1600
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 3: I think those guys are gonna have a good, good series.

1601
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 2: Casey excited to see him get a start against the lefty.

1602
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:52,679
Speaker 2: See how he fares Norby at first. It's it's interesting.

1603
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 2: It's interesting because he did not expect Christopher Morell to

1604
01:17:56,960 --> 01:18:01,960
Speaker 2: suddenly get hurt. Ye Norby slides over to first, and

1605
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:05,160
Speaker 2: I think it's a competitive lineup against a veteran pitcher,

1606
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:06,920
Speaker 2: and the middle of the order is going to have

1607
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 2: to do the heavy lifting with Gus Marcy and Auto.

1608
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 2: What I'll say about Slater because he is a very

1609
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 2: unconventional leadoff hitter in this case, and perhaps surprise some

1610
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 2: people that was in the lineup at all, just because

1611
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 2: of how late he assigned, how much he struggled at

1612
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:24,759
Speaker 2: the very end of last season, et cetera, et cetera.

1613
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 2: The reason why he's sitting first is because they want

1614
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 2: to get him as many played appearance is while the

1615
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 2: left handed starter Freeland is in the game, I think

1616
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 2: there's a very low likelihood that he plays the whole game.

1617
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 2: If he plays the whole game, it means that they're

1618
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 2: winning very comfortably early on and kind of skating to

1619
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 2: a comfortable win where there's no for Clayton just wants

1620
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 2: to keep it pretty simple moving forward. The more likely

1621
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 2: outcome is that once we get into the later endings,

1622
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 2: either for offense or for even defense, but especially offensively,

1623
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:54,479
Speaker 2: they bring in any sort of right handed pitcher that

1624
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 2: that's when they go to the bench. They go to

1625
01:18:56,360 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 2: Griffin Conine, or they go to Liam Hicks or that

1626
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 2: kind of situations. That's one thing that I wanted to

1627
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 2: point out there that I think has become more socially

1628
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 2: acceptable and would have been totally a foreign concept, even

1629
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 2: like a decade ago, to have somebody like Slater Toad

1630
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 2: the oldest player on your team batting lead off when

1631
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 2: he doesn't have the traditional speed that you would expect

1632
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 2: or even the traditional on base skills overall for a

1633
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:24,640
Speaker 2: leadoff guy, I think it's more so about maximizing his

1634
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 2: exposure to a particular picture that he's matched up against,

1635
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 2: and then being willing to politely have him take a

1636
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 2: seat and bring in somebody else once as soon as

1637
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:36,840
Speaker 2: a right handed pictures in the game.

1638
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 5: That's kind of where I'm leaning on that anything else

1639
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:43,560
Speaker 5: Nate that jumps out at you compared to what he

1640
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,280
Speaker 5: may have expected this to be entering today.

1641
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 1: You guys can probably aspect what I'm going to say here.

1642
01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:51,560
Speaker 1: But at David Edwards batting simonth I know exactly what

1643
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 1: you said. You lie about maximizing Slayers at that against Left,

1644
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 1: you liked Freeland, but I don't still that. I pretty

1645
01:19:57,120 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 1: much shall lead off all of spring Train. Pretty much

1646
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:01,599
Speaker 1: sh'll lead off all of last year, even though when

1647
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:03,760
Speaker 1: he did slump. But I remember we talked about it. Hey,

1648
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:06,040
Speaker 1: maybe one thing about dropping next to eight or nine again,

1649
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,479
Speaker 1: but I don't know. To open the season, maybe put

1650
01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 1: him first and then go Slater second with everyone down

1651
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:14,240
Speaker 1: probably be my only Gripe. I do like Airbirch and Torneada,

1652
01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:15,880
Speaker 1: so I feel like we don't really talk about enough here.

1653
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 1: Guy ops almost eight hundred last year as a rookie

1654
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 1: one really wasn't expected to come up and do much

1655
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 1: of anything. I know Isaac has him going deep once,

1656
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:25,599
Speaker 1: if not twice today.

1657
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:26,280
Speaker 6: I'm not sure.

1658
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:30,000
Speaker 1: Isaac is a very big ariberto guy, so I'm excited

1659
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 1: to see what he does in his second year. And

1660
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 1: just I mentioned it twice the Maple masher Owen Casey,

1661
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:37,800
Speaker 1: who had a great WBC for Team Canada. I know

1662
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 1: he's facing a lefty which might not be favorable for him,

1663
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:42,759
Speaker 1: but guy's still a top fifty prospects in all baseball,

1664
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 1: so seeing him under the lights in his first rounds,

1665
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 1: team will be very excited.

1666
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 5: I had this little sound bite queued up from Pete

1667
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 5: Fairbanks just earlier today. He was on Foul Territory and

1668
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 5: he had a prediction. I think he had an idea

1669
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 5: of what the lineup would look like and he's foreseeing

1670
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 5: some good things from Connor Norby tonight.

1671
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:04,479
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put it out there.

1672
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 13: I'm gonna put my I'm throwing my hat early I'm

1673
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 13: going to give We're gonna go Connor Norby pump today,

1674
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 13: all right, We're gonna put it out in the world,

1675
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 13: and if he lets me down, he'll never hear the

1676
01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 13: end of it.

1677
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 5: We know that last year Norby went into last season

1678
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 5: being a bit too bullish on his own power hitting capabilities.

1679
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:26,720
Speaker 5: He's the one that predicted that he was gonna hit

1680
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 5: thirty homers and ended up with in single digits. So

1681
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 5: in order to give himself a chance to reach out

1682
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 5: this year, I think getting on an opening day one

1683
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 5: would be a good start from that standpoint. Maybe Fairbanks

1684
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,519
Speaker 5: is encouraging him that way, but that's a lot of

1685
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 5: pressure to put on a guy for just one game,

1686
01:21:42,200 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 5: maybe for a series, saying that we think in this

1687
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 5: series he's gonna hit one, but for just one game,

1688
01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 5: that's tough odds for Norby there, Although he was swinging

1689
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:52,840
Speaker 5: it really well at the end of spring training in

1690
01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 5: terms of just the quality of contact that he was making. Yeah,

1691
01:21:57,240 --> 01:21:59,720
Speaker 5: other than that, so noh we kind of got a

1692
01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:02,680
Speaker 5: tip from Clayton McCullough on fish on filter the day

1693
01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 5: before that's Nohaw would be at third base and it's

1694
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:08,680
Speaker 5: it's looking like a platoon between him and Paulie at

1695
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 5: that position moving forward, So we'll see Polly on Saturday,

1696
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 5: presumably in the lineup. But as reference before, this is

1697
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:19,080
Speaker 5: a team that's going to be very rigid in terms

1698
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 5: of platooning, feeling that the best possible version of production

1699
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:24,640
Speaker 5: they could get from a position is going to be

1700
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:28,679
Speaker 5: pairing two guys for the most part at that particular spot.

1701
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:31,439
Speaker 5: Otto is going to be an interesting one just because

1702
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 5: he did not hit lefties last year. Even though they

1703
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 5: batted him in the middle of the lineup against them,

1704
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:39,479
Speaker 5: his production was so much better against same handed pitching

1705
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 5: than it was against when he'd actually have a presumed

1706
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:47,639
Speaker 5: advantage there. So I let's see that count again. Fish

1707
01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:54,599
Speaker 5: Head forever so far back from the camera that somebody's kids.

1708
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 5: Nate is the tallest of all of us, believed or not,

1709
01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 5: but sitting in a way that I guess kind of

1710
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 5: is deceptive from that regard. So yeah, that'll be an

1711
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:10,000
Speaker 5: interesting matchup to follow. They are facing off against Kyle Freeland,

1712
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 5: who has almost as much opening day experience as Sandy does.

1713
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:14,599
Speaker 5: This will be Sanding the sixth career opening day start,

1714
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 5: and I believe freelance fifth that he's had. Let us

1715
01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:20,240
Speaker 5: scroll over though to the Rocky side of this then

1716
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:23,679
Speaker 5: to see their particular lineup. They have some new faces

1717
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 5: compared to last year, and I think their fans are

1718
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 5: taking a sigh of relief because things went so poorly

1719
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 5: last year, even when, especially if you adjust for the altitude,

1720
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:34,960
Speaker 5: that their offense was so bad. They scored as few

1721
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 5: runs as any team in baseball, even with being in

1722
01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:40,639
Speaker 5: such an offensive friendly environment for half of their games.

1723
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 5: So they brought in Jake McCarthy via trade. They brought

1724
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:47,120
Speaker 5: in Willie Castro and free agency, t J. Runfield, a

1725
01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 5: minor league free agent, and Edward Julian. They traded for

1726
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 5: all those guys in the lineup that weren't even on

1727
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 5: the team last year. But Carver, from your perspective, whether

1728
01:23:57,200 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 5: it's one of the new guys, we'll talk about Troy

1729
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 5: in a moment, of the non Troy position players that

1730
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:06,400
Speaker 5: this Rockey team had, you know, which of these guys

1731
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:09,240
Speaker 5: do you think is can be most dangerous to the

1732
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 5: Marlins this weekend.

1733
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 6: I really like to find of TJ. Rumfield from the Yankees.

1734
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 6: That guy had a great spring outright won that job

1735
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:21,160
Speaker 6: at first base, And to find a guy that had

1736
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:23,519
Speaker 6: an eight twenty five ops last year. I mean, yeah,

1737
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 6: it's the International League and everybody hits, but still that's

1738
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 6: a that could be a good young player for them,

1739
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 6: especially as you know delay in Colorado. So I like

1740
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 6: that guy. I think that he could be a bat

1741
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 6: that the Marlins really need to be careful with. That's

1742
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:40,639
Speaker 6: that's a a guy that I guess butted a little

1743
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 6: bit late, which is the reason that he was available

1744
01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 6: in minor league free agency. But if what he did

1745
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:47,880
Speaker 6: in spring training and with the stats he put up

1746
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:49,400
Speaker 6: in spring training and the power that he showed in

1747
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 6: spring training, all from the left side or for real,

1748
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:55,040
Speaker 6: then that's that's a good bat. And yeah, I think

1749
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:57,760
Speaker 6: that he could be could be really good. So I

1750
01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 6: like him definitely a guy that I had eyes on

1751
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,880
Speaker 6: in spring training looking at what this Rocket team wound

1752
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:06,600
Speaker 6: up being, so that that would be the one that

1753
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 6: I would point out to you as as somebody that

1754
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 6: I would I would really.

1755
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 5: Like anybody stick out to you, Jeremiah.

1756
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:19,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna start with Jake McCarthy just because he's

1757
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:22,800
Speaker 2: really really fast. He's a good defender, but if he

1758
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 2: gets on bass, then I expect him to run and

1759
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:30,920
Speaker 2: immediately start testing Marlin's catchers. Hunter Goodman. Also, if you

1760
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:32,760
Speaker 2: if you leave the fastball over the middle of the play,

1761
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 2: he's not gonna miss it. Crushes fastballs and just a

1762
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:39,080
Speaker 2: lot of power there. You gotta be careful. I think

1763
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:41,639
Speaker 2: he might he may have homed against the Marlins last year,

1764
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:43,519
Speaker 2: and I may be wrong, but it's got a lot

1765
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:48,920
Speaker 2: of pop. Brenton Doyle, veteran guy, another speedy guy. You

1766
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:52,679
Speaker 2: gotta be careful if if you're sandy with free passes,

1767
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:56,280
Speaker 2: that's gonna be the key in this series for starters

1768
01:25:56,320 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 2: and bullpen. I think you gotta eliminate free pass is

1769
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:01,519
Speaker 2: not let these guys get on base.

1770
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:05,559
Speaker 5: We were talking about this before recording. I'm pretty sure

1771
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 5: Nate about how the last time that the Rockies were

1772
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:12,599
Speaker 5: in town last year in early June, that was perhaps

1773
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 5: the lowest point of the Marlins season, where the Rockies

1774
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 5: were well on their way to having an awful, awful year,

1775
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:20,360
Speaker 5: perhaps the worst in their franchise is history. Even at

1776
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:22,559
Speaker 5: that point, and then the Marlins are kind of slumping

1777
01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:25,800
Speaker 5: themselves only for the Rockies to come in and sweep them.

1778
01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 5: So just take us back to where things were then

1779
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:31,240
Speaker 5: and how things They really didn't change very much for

1780
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 5: the Rockies overall, but James quite a bit from the

1781
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:35,960
Speaker 5: Marlins from that point forward to where they were the

1782
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:36,719
Speaker 5: rest of the season.

1783
01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe the Rockies entered that series having nine

1784
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:43,720
Speaker 1: wins in early June, which ended of itself is incredible.

1785
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,439
Speaker 1: But then they came in the Marlins believed the first game,

1786
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:49,719
Speaker 1: it was on a Monday, they stored what three runs

1787
01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:51,200
Speaker 1: in the first I mean the Rockies would barely throw

1788
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:53,560
Speaker 1: the ball around the infield. It was like watching a

1789
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:55,679
Speaker 1: little league game, like the Bad News Bears or something.

1790
01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 1: And then Matt s Meyer against Dana and the entire

1791
01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:00,920
Speaker 1: rest of the series, the Rockies tipped Marlins's ass. I

1792
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 1: was at that Wednesday game with probably about I don't know,

1793
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 1: fifty people on Wednesday afternoon against the Rockies. The only

1794
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:09,240
Speaker 1: thing I remember from that game is that a hobby er,

1795
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 1: Sanoha slam is bat and that the number two die

1796
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:14,920
Speaker 1: in this order. Hunter Goodman continued to kill the Marlins,

1797
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:18,439
Speaker 1: and his career against the Miami Marlins eight games. Hunter

1798
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:22,120
Speaker 1: Goodman is opsaying at thirteen hundred. He's averaging four to

1799
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 1: fourteen with three homers and five rubiis, I don't know

1800
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:26,920
Speaker 1: what it is. When he plays the Marns, either at

1801
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,759
Speaker 1: home or at corps, he kills them, especially that series,

1802
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 1: So I might be spoiled my series MVP. Pity here now.

1803
01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:36,040
Speaker 1: But if on the Marlins, I'm staying far away from

1804
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:37,560
Speaker 1: Hunter Goodman. He can put one in the gap, he

1805
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:39,720
Speaker 1: can put one over the fence. He's probably the best

1806
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:41,559
Speaker 1: player on this rush. I believe he was their All

1807
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 1: Star last year. And I just speaking of Sanoha, his

1808
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:48,479
Speaker 1: WBC teammate from Team Venezuela Ezekiel Tovar starting at short

1809
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:51,560
Speaker 1: today for the Rockies, So not too much outside of

1810
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 1: those two guys. Obviously got great speed at the top

1811
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:57,640
Speaker 1: with Jake McCarthy and Brenton Doyle. But again, not too

1812
01:27:57,720 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 1: much going on with this Rockies order. This is the

1813
01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:02,160
Speaker 1: perfect chance, like you said last June, for the Marlins

1814
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 1: to really picked it up out of the gate. So

1815
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:06,920
Speaker 1: let's hope this time it's a little bit different than

1816
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:10,080
Speaker 1: will be witnessed from early June and twenty twenty five.

1817
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 6: I'd say one other thing you live in terms of

1818
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 6: where the team is right now during the season, and

1819
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:18,080
Speaker 6: I think the only reason that Troy Johnston made the team.

1820
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,160
Speaker 6: Is the fact that Tyler Freeman, who's arguably their best

1821
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:24,960
Speaker 6: player last year, is injured, so the Marlins also miss him.

1822
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 6: A very patient hitter, really good bat to ball guy.

1823
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 6: I like Tyler Freeman, so the Marlins will miss him.

1824
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:33,000
Speaker 6: He's on the aisle with like a back issue, some

1825
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:35,760
Speaker 6: nagging back issue or something like that. So yeah, I

1826
01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:37,439
Speaker 6: agree with Nate, especially if you can get to the

1827
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:40,559
Speaker 6: bullpen like Chase Freeland early. This bullpen is not good.

1828
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:42,600
Speaker 6: They will give up a lot of runs. If you

1829
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:44,240
Speaker 6: can chase Freeland early and get him out of there,

1830
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:46,519
Speaker 6: the Marlins can do a lot of damage against the

1831
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 6: Rockies bullpen, which in spring training and even with how

1832
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 6: it lines up, they don't have too much in terms

1833
01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:57,040
Speaker 6: of solid relief pitching help. So yeah, if you can

1834
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:59,040
Speaker 6: get past their starters, you can do a lot of

1835
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:01,880
Speaker 6: damage against their bullpens. So the Marlins on paper should

1836
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:03,160
Speaker 6: score a lot of runs in this series.

1837
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 1: But we'll see what happens.

1838
01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:09,000
Speaker 2: Uh, Carl, I will say, I like their closer Vodnik.

1839
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:12,639
Speaker 2: Victor Vodnik. He's not bad, throws gas, so just don't

1840
01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 2: get to the ninth in the deficit because he's actually

1841
01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:15,880
Speaker 2: pretty good.

1842
01:29:18,160 --> 01:29:21,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, he had an interesting journey with their bullpen last

1843
01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:23,000
Speaker 5: year because there was a part of the year where

1844
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 5: they had The guy that really jumped out to me

1845
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:29,439
Speaker 5: was Seth Halverson, who was sitting like one hundred, and

1846
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:32,200
Speaker 5: I think he got plenty of high leverage opportunities and

1847
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:33,880
Speaker 5: he struggled enough late in the year and then I

1848
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:35,439
Speaker 5: guess over the course of spring training that he's not

1849
01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 5: even on the club right now, didn't even make the team.

1850
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:40,479
Speaker 5: But I remember, just from the portion of Rockies games

1851
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:42,240
Speaker 5: I watched last year, which wasn't a huge portion, but

1852
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:44,559
Speaker 5: the ones that I did see, a guy that jumped

1853
01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:46,720
Speaker 5: out was someone that's not even in their bullpen right now.

1854
01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 5: And Carver reminded me by talking about Freeman that they're

1855
01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 5: also missing Mickey Moniac just one on the IL today

1856
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:55,680
Speaker 5: out of nowhere. The former number one overall draft pick

1857
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:59,800
Speaker 5: who flamed out with the Phillies, had an interesting journey

1858
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 5: with the Angels, and then most recently, the Rockies played

1859
01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:05,760
Speaker 5: very well with them last season. It's kind of a

1860
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:08,360
Speaker 5: complicated case where it didn't look very sustainable. He hit

1861
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:10,320
Speaker 5: for a ton of power. He at twenty four homers

1862
01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:15,280
Speaker 5: last year without even being an everyday player, and I mean, yeah,

1863
01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:18,800
Speaker 5: just being in his opportunity. He did really well, but

1864
01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:20,840
Speaker 5: it did it with a very aggressive approach in a

1865
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:22,479
Speaker 5: way that you know, he was still had a lot

1866
01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:24,120
Speaker 5: to prove this year, and at least for now he's

1867
01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:28,800
Speaker 5: starting on the al due to a sprained right ring finger,

1868
01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:31,439
Speaker 5: and that's another left handed debt. If you're thinking about

1869
01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:34,479
Speaker 5: it from a Troy perspective, that this is something that

1870
01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:37,120
Speaker 5: also would help Troy's case of having a longer leash,

1871
01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:41,120
Speaker 5: just because this is another bat that place as an

1872
01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:44,840
Speaker 5: outfielder place, there's some overlap in where they would fit

1873
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:47,400
Speaker 5: on the club, and with him being unavailable, that will help.

1874
01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:50,240
Speaker 5: Presumably they'll help Troy stick around longer at the big

1875
01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:52,960
Speaker 5: league level. We should just touch on him quickly for

1876
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:55,800
Speaker 5: anybody that is possibly unfamiliar. Troy Johnson was drafted by

1877
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:57,360
Speaker 5: the Marlins in twenty nineteen and he was in the

1878
01:30:57,479 --> 01:31:01,759
Speaker 5: organization ever since. It seemed that he was productive almost

1879
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:03,640
Speaker 5: from the get go as an offensive player. He was

1880
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:06,439
Speaker 5: their Marlins Minor League Player of the Year in twenty

1881
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 5: twenty three, and then from there he had to wait

1882
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:12,760
Speaker 5: almost two more fold years before getting called up to

1883
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:15,360
Speaker 5: the big leagues when he was already twenty eight years old.

1884
01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:18,000
Speaker 5: Feels like a typo, but he has wayed all the

1885
01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:19,880
Speaker 5: way to twenty eight to debut just bye, being so

1886
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:23,240
Speaker 5: productive and the miners, despite the Marlins having at times

1887
01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:25,920
Speaker 5: a very urgent need for production at his positions being

1888
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:28,679
Speaker 5: first based in the corner of retlefield spots, played pretty

1889
01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:30,519
Speaker 5: well for the Marlins all things considered, the last two

1890
01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:32,880
Speaker 5: months of last year in a platoon role, but then

1891
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:35,840
Speaker 5: right after the season ends, gets waived, gets claimed by

1892
01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:40,519
Speaker 5: the Rockies, and had a good spring overall. But yeah,

1893
01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:43,880
Speaker 5: he just gives the latest on Troy Carver because I

1894
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 5: know that you've known him very well during his time

1895
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:49,559
Speaker 5: with the Marlins organization. This is his first career opening

1896
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:52,760
Speaker 5: day roster and it comes against a team that he

1897
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 5: had known his entire career up to this point. So yeah,

1898
01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:59,639
Speaker 5: what is his outlook looking like now for twenty twenty

1899
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:02,920
Speaker 5: six with an organization that has so many holes to

1900
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:04,439
Speaker 5: fill on the team moving forward?

1901
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:06,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, it just sucks that he had to like sweat

1902
01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 6: it out. I mean, like I said, I think the

1903
01:32:08,439 --> 01:32:11,479
Speaker 6: only reason that he's on the team is because of

1904
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:13,599
Speaker 6: the freeman is not and he's on the injured list,

1905
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:16,120
Speaker 6: So I thought that there was room for him to

1906
01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:18,880
Speaker 6: make this team despite whatever Freeman was going to do,

1907
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:22,280
Speaker 6: but he had had to wait. It wasn't just I mean,

1908
01:32:22,640 --> 01:32:25,040
Speaker 6: just just found out that he was basically going to

1909
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:27,320
Speaker 6: make it like the other day. So this wasn't just

1910
01:32:27,400 --> 01:32:28,960
Speaker 6: a you're getting signed and you're going to be on

1911
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:31,479
Speaker 6: our team kind of thing, even though it's the Rockies

1912
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:34,240
Speaker 6: who have still a ways to go in terms of,

1913
01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:39,120
Speaker 6: you know, having any kind of competitiveness. So it sucks

1914
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:40,760
Speaker 6: that he had to wait. But he does make his

1915
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:44,360
Speaker 6: first opening day roster, not in this game, but I

1916
01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:47,240
Speaker 6: would guess we would see him probably tomorrow against Uri.

1917
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:50,519
Speaker 6: I think it is so or is here tomorrow. I

1918
01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:52,040
Speaker 6: don't know. I don't know how the Marlins are doing things,

1919
01:32:52,040 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 6: but if there, if we'll get to that moment, yeah,

1920
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:57,679
Speaker 6: if it's a writing, which I'm guessing at your praz,

1921
01:32:57,760 --> 01:33:01,479
Speaker 6: then I think we would see Troy tomorrow. But yeah, yeah,

1922
01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:04,320
Speaker 6: I mean I think the how he's approaching it to

1923
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:06,960
Speaker 6: answer that question is just kind of how he always

1924
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:09,639
Speaker 6: has to go with it. Just just try to help

1925
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:11,759
Speaker 6: wherever you're at. That's kind of what this guy's attitude

1926
01:33:11,800 --> 01:33:15,600
Speaker 6: has always been is control what you can control, you know,

1927
01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:18,320
Speaker 6: not really get phased by the fact that you know

1928
01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:22,000
Speaker 6: eyes aren't on you when they should be, that you're

1929
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:24,680
Speaker 6: not getting chances when you should get chances, and just

1930
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:27,240
Speaker 6: trying to stay within yourself and stay humble, which is

1931
01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:29,920
Speaker 6: hard to do. Because I think that this player has

1932
01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:33,519
Speaker 6: shown more than enough to warrant attention, not only from

1933
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:35,280
Speaker 6: the Marlins, but from other teams, either in the Rule

1934
01:33:35,360 --> 01:33:37,840
Speaker 6: five or free agency or whatever it did. So whatever

1935
01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:39,920
Speaker 6: it was, I'm glad that the Rockies finally paid him

1936
01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 6: the attention that he deserved and gave him the chance.

1937
01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:44,560
Speaker 6: I think you could do really well, especially in quarnsfield.

1938
01:33:45,400 --> 01:33:47,160
Speaker 6: I think he could could really do well. It's a

1939
01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:50,720
Speaker 6: patient hitter, some pop in the stick. Defense is a

1940
01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:54,599
Speaker 6: question which you know, Yes, he wasn't very good as

1941
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:58,080
Speaker 6: an outfielder or defensively, but as a first basement which

1942
01:33:58,080 --> 01:33:59,599
Speaker 6: he started to learn just a couple of years ago,

1943
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:01,800
Speaker 6: kind of made his way with that and letting the

1944
01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:04,479
Speaker 6: bats speak for itself. So really good Spring, as you know,

1945
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:06,720
Speaker 6: to Eli, I mean hit a homer in They're one

1946
01:34:06,760 --> 01:34:10,400
Speaker 6: of their last games, So yeah, I mean, I think

1947
01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:13,760
Speaker 6: that this player deserves this chance. I'm glad that he's

1948
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:17,479
Speaker 6: in major league baseball versus minor league baseball. It's it's

1949
01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:19,640
Speaker 6: just a really cool guy, really cool story, just kind

1950
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:22,519
Speaker 6: of the underdog story that you really like, and I'm

1951
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:23,439
Speaker 6: glad that he's getting the shot.

1952
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:28,479
Speaker 5: We could pull up the starting pitchers here. Of course,

1953
01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:32,280
Speaker 5: it is Sandy tonight against Freeland's. The Marlins also tasted

1954
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:34,519
Speaker 5: the Rockies on opening Day in twenty nineteen, but that

1955
01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:38,080
Speaker 5: was right before Sandy's run of opening day starts the Marlins.

1956
01:34:38,120 --> 01:34:40,880
Speaker 5: Do you remember who remembers who the Marlins Opening Day

1957
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:42,040
Speaker 5: started was in twenty nineteen.

1958
01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:43,519
Speaker 1: I was there right, Yeah.

1959
01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:47,479
Speaker 5: Of course, second year of Jose Urania that had the

1960
01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:50,880
Speaker 5: same results as the first one. I don't it wasn't

1961
01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:52,800
Speaker 5: quite as bad, I don't think as his Cubs start

1962
01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:55,160
Speaker 5: the year before, But Marlins did not win that game.

1963
01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:59,600
Speaker 5: And now it's a rematch between these two organizations, with

1964
01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:02,360
Speaker 5: Marlins this time seemingly to have much of an up edge.

1965
01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:05,640
Speaker 5: We talked about Sandy before, why I think all of

1966
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:08,240
Speaker 5: us are optimistic that he's going to be a better

1967
01:35:08,280 --> 01:35:10,040
Speaker 5: pitcher early in the season this year than he was

1968
01:35:10,160 --> 01:35:13,600
Speaker 5: last year, as he's further removed from TJ. Than On

1969
01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:17,040
Speaker 5: Saturday for Game two, it is Yuri against Michael Lorenzen

1970
01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:21,000
Speaker 5: of Team Italy fame from the WBC, but also a

1971
01:35:21,160 --> 01:35:25,280
Speaker 5: very well traveled a major league right hander. And then

1972
01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:29,680
Speaker 5: on Sunday it's Max Meyer against Jose Kintana Cantona being

1973
01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 5: another free agent acquisition by the by the Rockies this

1974
01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:37,160
Speaker 5: offseason is just a one year deal and another lefty.

1975
01:35:37,439 --> 01:35:39,559
Speaker 5: So that is going to mean that we don't think

1976
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:41,559
Speaker 5: the lineup for tonight is going to be the same

1977
01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:43,760
Speaker 5: as on Sunday because Tonight had to make that last

1978
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:47,559
Speaker 5: second change given the news with Christopher Morrell. But we're

1979
01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:50,240
Speaker 5: gonna see very different lineups between Saturday and Sunday given

1980
01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 5: the handedness of the pictures overall. Why don't we talk

1981
01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:57,519
Speaker 5: a little bit more about Max because Jeremiah brought it

1982
01:35:57,600 --> 01:36:00,840
Speaker 5: up about your skepticism about him as a star. I

1983
01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:03,040
Speaker 5: think some of us, I think you know, it's a

1984
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:05,400
Speaker 5: very degrees all of us have had some concerns about

1985
01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:09,200
Speaker 5: him as well. Part of the offseason approach by trading

1986
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:11,640
Speaker 5: Ryan Weathers, by trading Edward Cabrera put them in a

1987
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:14,880
Speaker 5: position where they were making a very conscious bet. It

1988
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:18,679
Speaker 5: seems on Max to do something with this opportunity. Doesn't

1989
01:36:18,680 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 5: mean it's a commitment all year long, but you know,

1990
01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:23,240
Speaker 5: he as things are currently set up, he's gonna have

1991
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:25,760
Speaker 5: a pretty long leash, don't you think, to actually prove

1992
01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:30,080
Speaker 5: himself as a starter this time. Maybe it's his last opportunity,

1993
01:36:30,200 --> 01:36:32,400
Speaker 5: but for the time being, the runway seems to be

1994
01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:34,559
Speaker 5: pretty clear for him to do that, don't you think.

1995
01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they're going to give him well plenty

1996
01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:41,439
Speaker 2: of starts, like he's not in danger of one or

1997
01:36:41,439 --> 01:36:42,240
Speaker 2: two bad starts.

1998
01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:43,880
Speaker 3: His spot in rotation is gone.

1999
01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:47,960
Speaker 2: I do think though, like you said, this is probably

2000
01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:50,880
Speaker 2: the last season in which they're gonna experiment with this.

2001
01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:53,400
Speaker 2: If it works out, it works out, and that's great.

2002
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:55,720
Speaker 2: In order for it to work out, he's going to

2003
01:36:55,800 --> 01:36:59,200
Speaker 2: have to figure out something other than the slider. I mean,

2004
01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:03,200
Speaker 2: the fastball is just so bad by the metrics, It

2005
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:06,559
Speaker 2: just very flat and hitters are gonna crush it, even

2006
01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:07,840
Speaker 2: at ninety five ninety six.

2007
01:37:09,479 --> 01:37:09,679
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2008
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:13,280
Speaker 2: Interested interested to see if he mixes in the pitches

2009
01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:15,679
Speaker 2: he was working on last year. I know last spring

2010
01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:19,120
Speaker 2: training he was adding a sweeper to his arsenal, throwing

2011
01:37:19,160 --> 01:37:20,880
Speaker 2: a sinker a little bit more and then we got

2012
01:37:20,920 --> 01:37:23,880
Speaker 2: to in game action and it was mainly just slighter

2013
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:26,439
Speaker 2: slider slider and then mixing the fast balls, throw in

2014
01:37:26,560 --> 01:37:30,160
Speaker 2: the change, but didn't really do much. So good opportunity

2015
01:37:30,240 --> 01:37:32,200
Speaker 2: for his first start of the season. The Rockies lineup

2016
01:37:32,280 --> 01:37:35,920
Speaker 2: isn't very strong, but Meyer's gonna have to, you know,

2017
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:39,560
Speaker 2: just just go out and be himself and try to

2018
01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:42,560
Speaker 2: try to give some productive innings. I expect him to

2019
01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:46,040
Speaker 2: go at least five innings, i'd hope against this Rockies lineup.

2020
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:53,000
Speaker 5: Aside from that, with these other starters, they're kind of

2021
01:37:53,080 --> 01:37:55,720
Speaker 5: known quantities of both Lorenzo and Kantana and all three

2022
01:37:55,720 --> 01:37:58,720
Speaker 5: of them combined. It's not a whole lot of overpowering

2023
01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:01,519
Speaker 5: going on here where you think that the Marlins are

2024
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:02,679
Speaker 5: going to be able to put a lot of balls

2025
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:05,800
Speaker 5: and play over the course of this series, at least

2026
01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:08,439
Speaker 5: better their side of the matchup, more likely to do

2027
01:38:08,520 --> 01:38:11,200
Speaker 5: it than the Rockies hitters against these Marlins pitchers as well,

2028
01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:16,760
Speaker 5: So that'll be the interesting thing to follow overall. Even

2029
01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:19,080
Speaker 5: though it's just one series, Nate, these first few games

2030
01:38:19,120 --> 01:38:22,559
Speaker 5: of the season, like, there's quite a bit of pressure

2031
01:38:22,640 --> 01:38:24,840
Speaker 5: the Marlins to take care of business. But both this series,

2032
01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:26,960
Speaker 5: and then with the White Sox come to town right

2033
01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:29,639
Speaker 5: after that. For a team that if they have legitimate

2034
01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:34,240
Speaker 5: playoff aspirations, then there's there's gonna be a lot tougher

2035
01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:36,240
Speaker 5: matchups as the season goes along. Even though we don't

2036
01:38:36,280 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 5: want to overreact to like these small samples like this,

2037
01:38:41,320 --> 01:38:44,639
Speaker 5: the signes up so well for them, and you would

2038
01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 5: think that there's that the standard that for them, that

2039
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:50,240
Speaker 5: they have to say for themselves is that they need

2040
01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:52,880
Speaker 5: to take this pretty seriously, even given that there's so

2041
01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:54,519
Speaker 5: much of the season still to go after it.

2042
01:38:55,360 --> 01:38:57,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially what mean you just talked about it, you lar,

2043
01:38:57,960 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 1: with how this series run against to the Rockies last year.

2044
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:03,920
Speaker 1: Obviously no one said publicly you know that they're probably

2045
01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:06,040
Speaker 1: gonna give the classic cancher that every team in the

2046
01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:07,719
Speaker 1: league is good and they don't want to lose anyone.

2047
01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:10,479
Speaker 1: But I assume last year that getting swept by that

2048
01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:12,639
Speaker 1: nine win team at the time in your own stadium,

2049
01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:15,080
Speaker 1: it can feel good, and they're gonna it's obviously the

2050
01:39:15,120 --> 01:39:18,040
Speaker 1: opening day they want to start out twenty twenty six hot.

2051
01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:21,040
Speaker 1: After pretty much after that Rocky series, it's sort of

2052
01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:22,400
Speaker 1: a you know, maybe a week or two then they

2053
01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:24,920
Speaker 1: flipped it all around and then went on that run

2054
01:39:24,960 --> 01:39:27,320
Speaker 1: pretty much in the end of the season. So hopefully

2055
01:39:27,560 --> 01:39:29,160
Speaker 1: like this, this is it if you guys want to

2056
01:39:29,160 --> 01:39:31,320
Speaker 1: start out, if this team is serious about competing for

2057
01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: a playoff spot in twenty twenty six, which I believe

2058
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:35,240
Speaker 1: they can be. I don't think they will, but I

2059
01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:37,639
Speaker 1: believe that this is good of a shot they've had

2060
01:39:38,120 --> 01:39:40,439
Speaker 1: on paper started season in a couple of years, obviously

2061
01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:44,240
Speaker 1: since twenty three, so it's right, it's right for the taking. Obviously,

2062
01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:47,200
Speaker 1: the White Sox, who are gonna play next, first step

2063
01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:49,120
Speaker 1: out of the game hit a homer and then I

2064
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:51,920
Speaker 1: believe they got outscored fourteen to one the rest of

2065
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:54,800
Speaker 1: the game against Milwaukee yesterday, So this is it. Like

2066
01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:56,200
Speaker 1: I said, this is time to go. And I guess

2067
01:39:56,240 --> 01:39:58,960
Speaker 1: one more note on Sandy, You're right he did not

2068
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:01,439
Speaker 1: open out on the mound for the Marlins, but he

2069
01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:04,280
Speaker 1: did pitch that Sunday and he threw eh shutty against

2070
01:40:04,280 --> 01:40:06,960
Speaker 1: the Rockies to punch a series victory in twenty nineteen,

2071
01:40:07,040 --> 01:40:09,080
Speaker 1: So I'm not so nast and for all that for

2072
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:13,120
Speaker 1: Sandy's return to the opening day mound, but I'm hoping

2073
01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:17,840
Speaker 1: for these sets out of Alchhabios that it should be like,

2074
01:40:18,120 --> 01:40:19,880
Speaker 1: like I said, it's time to go, so let's get

2075
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 1: your race back out there and put his team in

2076
01:40:22,520 --> 01:40:24,120
Speaker 1: a position in the end went number one.

2077
01:40:24,160 --> 01:40:24,400
Speaker 13: Early.

2078
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:31,360
Speaker 5: We were expecting the lineups based on the schedule that

2079
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:33,720
Speaker 5: I was given. They should be just now starting to

2080
01:40:33,760 --> 01:40:38,360
Speaker 5: introduce everybody on both teams across both foul lines, and

2081
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:41,120
Speaker 5: we'll get footage of that ceremony after the fact to

2082
01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:44,840
Speaker 5: share as well for people. But the first opening day

2083
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:47,120
Speaker 5: under the lights in a while, and the Marlins have

2084
01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:49,760
Speaker 5: done and on a Friday night, no less, the only

2085
01:40:49,880 --> 01:40:52,479
Speaker 5: Friday opener that they've had in this ballpark since they

2086
01:40:52,560 --> 01:40:55,639
Speaker 5: opened it as well, a very special occasion. A lot

2087
01:40:55,720 --> 01:41:00,800
Speaker 5: of Kyle Stowers bobbleheads, passed out, magnet schedules, all that

2088
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:04,439
Speaker 5: postgame fireworks coming up afterwards, win or lose, So it

2089
01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:07,880
Speaker 5: should be a pretty big occasion. And you kind of

2090
01:41:07,920 --> 01:41:10,599
Speaker 5: referenced it before as well that well that Rocky's coming

2091
01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:12,600
Speaker 5: into town. Any other time of year, it would be

2092
01:41:12,600 --> 01:41:15,400
Speaker 5: one of their smallest audiences of the entire season, and

2093
01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:18,799
Speaker 5: by happing to having them at the very first weekend

2094
01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:20,920
Speaker 5: of the season, it's gonna be reversal of that just

2095
01:41:20,960 --> 01:41:25,040
Speaker 5: based on those circumstances. So we're gonna be closing this

2096
01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 5: out a little bit early, I think, and going right

2097
01:41:28,439 --> 01:41:32,080
Speaker 5: to our favorite segment, Prediction Time. And the thing is,

2098
01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:35,080
Speaker 5: we had an old intro that I've used last year,

2099
01:41:35,320 --> 01:41:37,040
Speaker 5: and there's a new one that I just remembered that

2100
01:41:37,160 --> 01:41:39,920
Speaker 5: I had created as well, and we can decide now

2101
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:41,960
Speaker 5: which one we actually want to use moving forwards, I'm

2102
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:45,080
Speaker 5: gonna play them both back to back. First, the previous

2103
01:41:45,160 --> 01:41:50,280
Speaker 5: one that we use featuring Bruce Sherman. This is prodiction Time.

2104
01:41:51,320 --> 01:41:52,720
Speaker 10: I think We're gonna win a lot of games, a

2105
01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:54,800
Speaker 10: lot more games than you think we're gonna win this year.

2106
01:41:56,479 --> 01:41:58,040
Speaker 5: And this is the new one that i'd made with

2107
01:41:58,160 --> 01:42:01,120
Speaker 5: Tommy Huddon in honor of this being Tommy's final season

2108
01:42:01,160 --> 01:42:05,080
Speaker 5: as a Marlins analyst. This is prediction Time.

2109
01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:06,679
Speaker 3: That's my prediction.

2110
01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:10,680
Speaker 5: But who knows this a little is you know, it's

2111
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:12,639
Speaker 5: a little quicker, but he actually uses prediction in there.

2112
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:15,200
Speaker 5: What's our vote, Jeremiah, what what is.

2113
01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:15,880
Speaker 3: Your vote for?

2114
01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:16,439
Speaker 5: Which one?

2115
01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:18,040
Speaker 3: Vote? I vote for? Tommy?

2116
01:42:18,600 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 1: I like it, I contur Tommy.

2117
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:24,439
Speaker 5: Okay, are we unanimous?

2118
01:42:24,479 --> 01:42:24,679
Speaker 8: Carver?

2119
01:42:27,439 --> 01:42:30,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, of course we want as much Tommy this year

2120
01:42:30,200 --> 01:42:31,040
Speaker 6: as possible, So.

2121
01:42:31,439 --> 01:42:36,640
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, just making sure before uh move forward with that.

2122
01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:39,639
Speaker 5: This is prediction Time, as the final segment of every

2123
01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:42,680
Speaker 5: show that we've done pretty much since we've started doing

2124
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:46,360
Speaker 5: these streams, and it's something that we combine as well

2125
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:49,880
Speaker 5: with a special contest for our super subs of fish

2126
01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:52,479
Speaker 5: On First predicting how many games Marlins are going to

2127
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:54,439
Speaker 5: win in the upcoming series and who is going to

2128
01:42:54,479 --> 01:42:58,439
Speaker 5: be the series MVP. We keep track of these predictions

2129
01:42:58,479 --> 01:43:01,200
Speaker 5: all season long from our staffers, our livestream guests in

2130
01:43:01,280 --> 01:43:03,439
Speaker 5: case they're not on our staff and as and of

2131
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:06,439
Speaker 5: course are super subs as well. The reigning champ of

2132
01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:08,840
Speaker 5: this contest from last year was one of our super subs.

2133
01:43:09,240 --> 01:43:11,800
Speaker 5: This is a look at some of the predictions I've

2134
01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:13,800
Speaker 5: received so far. This is just a partial list of

2135
01:43:13,920 --> 01:43:15,800
Speaker 5: the ones that I received, because this was made a

2136
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:19,120
Speaker 5: couple hours ago. There's always I noticed this every year,

2137
01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:23,400
Speaker 5: ridiculous over optimism about the Marlins at the start of

2138
01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:26,600
Speaker 5: every season. Now, this matchup, as we've covered extensively, is

2139
01:43:26,640 --> 01:43:29,680
Speaker 5: pretty favorable to them. But yet all but one of

2140
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:32,719
Speaker 5: these twenty or so predictions that I jotted down already

2141
01:43:33,160 --> 01:43:35,400
Speaker 5: were for the Marlins to win. At least two out

2142
01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:37,000
Speaker 5: of three, almost half of them were for the Marlins

2143
01:43:37,040 --> 01:43:38,960
Speaker 5: to sweep. The names you see right next to them,

2144
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:41,920
Speaker 5: those are the series MVPs. We have a Javier Snoha pick,

2145
01:43:42,040 --> 01:43:46,280
Speaker 5: Jacob Marcy, Griffin, Conin Aroberto, Hernandez Otto Lopez, Augustine Ramirez,

2146
01:43:46,320 --> 01:43:51,679
Speaker 5: Owen Casey, Ury Perez, Sandy al Contra, and Connor Norby

2147
01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:54,919
Speaker 5: in there even in Austin Slater and the one Rockies

2148
01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:58,360
Speaker 5: pick is probably in the same wavelength as Carver, who

2149
01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:02,720
Speaker 5: went with TJ. Rumfield as his series MVP pick. As

2150
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:05,920
Speaker 5: a reminder, it does not have to align between your

2151
01:44:06,080 --> 01:44:08,679
Speaker 5: team that you picked to win the series and your MVP.

2152
01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:11,639
Speaker 5: It could go it could kind of split the difference,

2153
01:44:11,880 --> 01:44:15,720
Speaker 5: and there is some precedent for both of those simultaneously

2154
01:44:15,840 --> 01:44:19,280
Speaker 5: being true. We base the MVP winner on win probability

2155
01:44:19,320 --> 01:44:23,040
Speaker 5: added as calculated by Fangrafts, so we keep it transparent.

2156
01:44:23,080 --> 01:44:24,640
Speaker 5: You can look it up after the fact if you

2157
01:44:24,680 --> 01:44:27,759
Speaker 5: want to be sure about which player between these teams

2158
01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:30,720
Speaker 5: was the most valuable. Overall, It's not a perfect thing,

2159
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:32,160
Speaker 5: but I think it's the best that we have in

2160
01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:35,120
Speaker 5: terms of putting both hitters and pitchers on a similar

2161
01:44:35,360 --> 01:44:37,160
Speaker 5: scale right there. So it could go with a hitter

2162
01:44:37,720 --> 01:44:40,479
Speaker 5: or a pitcher, but from experience, more likely than not

2163
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:42,880
Speaker 5: it's a hitter. That's why the vast majority of these

2164
01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:47,400
Speaker 5: picks that we've received so far from veteran prediction time contestants,

2165
01:44:47,479 --> 01:44:49,559
Speaker 5: a lot of them went with hitters. It was also

2166
01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:51,400
Speaker 5: pretty hard for a catcher because over the course of

2167
01:44:51,439 --> 01:44:54,800
Speaker 5: any series, catchers usually have one game where they don't start,

2168
01:44:54,880 --> 01:44:56,920
Speaker 5: even if they're the primary catcher for their team. Those

2169
01:44:56,960 --> 01:44:59,120
Speaker 5: are just a couple of things to keep in mind.

2170
01:44:59,240 --> 01:45:01,160
Speaker 5: We keep this open up to first pitch of the

2171
01:45:01,240 --> 01:45:03,960
Speaker 5: game itself, so in another twenty five minutes or so,

2172
01:45:04,120 --> 01:45:06,479
Speaker 5: as of this moment, for people that haven't submitted already,

2173
01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:08,880
Speaker 5: they can do so at fish on first dot com.

2174
01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:11,920
Speaker 5: There's gonna be a separate article page to submit every

2175
01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:14,519
Speaker 5: single time. I've taken some predictions down from our staff

2176
01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:17,719
Speaker 5: already as well, and the ones covering from the ballpark tonight,

2177
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:21,360
Speaker 5: Alex Krutcheck and Kevin Barrall. They recorded a video as usual,

2178
01:45:21,479 --> 01:45:24,720
Speaker 5: So whenever we have usually when the Marlins are at home,

2179
01:45:24,760 --> 01:45:27,360
Speaker 5: whenever we have somebody credentialed covering that series in person.

2180
01:45:27,400 --> 01:45:30,439
Speaker 5: We have them record a little video about their picks

2181
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:32,800
Speaker 5: to give you a better idea of how this all works.

2182
01:45:33,120 --> 01:45:35,040
Speaker 5: So let's go to our guys in the field for

2183
01:45:35,160 --> 01:45:36,360
Speaker 5: their insights.

2184
01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:38,719
Speaker 4: On this all, right, Marlins Opening Day means the season

2185
01:45:38,800 --> 01:45:41,160
Speaker 4: debut of the serious predictions. I'm gonna go with the

2186
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:45,000
Speaker 4: Marlins sweeping the Colorado Rockies, and my series MVP is

2187
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:47,360
Speaker 4: gonna be Jacob Marcy and I will go.

2188
01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:49,559
Speaker 12: With the Marlins taking it two games out of three,

2189
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:51,719
Speaker 12: and my series MVP will.

2190
01:45:51,600 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 10: Be Connor Normy for the first time this season.

2191
01:45:54,120 --> 01:45:59,880
Speaker 5: Back to you, Eli, Thank you, Kevin, Well further Ado.

2192
01:46:00,040 --> 01:46:01,519
Speaker 5: Let make sure I have this setup. I'm a little

2193
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:03,960
Speaker 5: bit rusty with the actual presentation aspects of it, but

2194
01:46:04,439 --> 01:46:07,280
Speaker 5: putting on that element to have the FLF live thing,

2195
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:10,280
Speaker 5: and then got to have our music. We've been using

2196
01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:12,200
Speaker 5: the same music for this for a few different years,

2197
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:16,479
Speaker 5: very subtle in the background. So then I just go

2198
01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:18,519
Speaker 5: one at a time with each of you, how many

2199
01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:20,880
Speaker 5: games the Marlins will win? Who will be your series MVP.

2200
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:24,280
Speaker 5: We'll start off with Nate Karsmer.

2201
01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:28,679
Speaker 1: You also going to be back Opening Day twenty twenty six,

2202
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:30,719
Speaker 1: last time in the Marlins and Rockies played to Miami.

2203
01:46:30,800 --> 01:46:32,880
Speaker 1: I took the Marlins to sweep. I was very, very

2204
01:46:32,960 --> 01:46:35,280
Speaker 1: impressive with that. I learned my lesson though this time

2205
01:46:35,360 --> 01:46:38,400
Speaker 1: I was leaning maybe Rocky's upset, but you got to

2206
01:46:38,479 --> 01:46:40,240
Speaker 1: keep the ophibusm off. I got the moments taken two

2207
01:46:40,280 --> 01:46:42,200
Speaker 1: out of three, but I mentioned it earlier. I don't

2208
01:46:42,240 --> 01:46:44,760
Speaker 1: care what goes on in these games one hundred, but

2209
01:46:45,280 --> 01:46:47,720
Speaker 1: just going it till the Morlans. I think I'm mollinsultated,

2210
01:46:47,800 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 1: but he might hit multiple homes this weekend. A lot

2211
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:51,760
Speaker 1: of Astrabay said, so he's my series MVP.

2212
01:46:53,120 --> 01:46:55,640
Speaker 5: Jeremiah Geiger, your prediction.

2213
01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:59,200
Speaker 2: Sir, There's no way I'm picking against the Marlins to

2214
01:46:59,360 --> 01:47:02,439
Speaker 2: start this season. I think the Marlins take two out

2215
01:47:02,479 --> 01:47:05,360
Speaker 2: of three and Augustine Ramirez is going to be the

2216
01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:08,040
Speaker 2: MVP facing two left handed pitchers.

2217
01:47:09,560 --> 01:47:12,599
Speaker 5: Nice and succinct. Alex Carver your prediction, sir?

2218
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:15,439
Speaker 6: Do you think that the Marlins will win two out

2219
01:47:15,439 --> 01:47:18,759
Speaker 6: of three in this series? As way out about Rockies pitching,

2220
01:47:18,800 --> 01:47:21,479
Speaker 6: particularly their bullpen. The Marlins have I think more than

2221
01:47:21,520 --> 01:47:24,240
Speaker 6: a enough offensively to get it done against this team.

2222
01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:26,160
Speaker 6: But it wouldn't be me if I didn't pick this guy.

2223
01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:28,280
Speaker 6: As the MVP. He's gonna get in there tomorrow. I

2224
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:30,960
Speaker 6: think he'll get in there as well against Max Meyer.

2225
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:33,479
Speaker 6: For Johnson's gonna get some big heads to be the MVP.

2226
01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:39,960
Speaker 5: History is what history is. The Marlins usually do not

2227
01:47:40,080 --> 01:47:42,400
Speaker 5: get off to a particularly fast start at the beginning

2228
01:47:42,439 --> 01:47:45,000
Speaker 5: of the season. We know how bottle tile these things

2229
01:47:45,040 --> 01:47:47,880
Speaker 5: can be in small samples. Both these teams are not

2230
01:47:48,040 --> 01:47:49,920
Speaker 5: quite at full strength as of this moment, and the

2231
01:47:49,960 --> 01:47:53,920
Speaker 5: Marlins at the very last possible moment losing one of

2232
01:47:54,040 --> 01:47:57,320
Speaker 5: their potential power hitters to an injury in Christopher Morrell.

2233
01:47:57,920 --> 01:48:01,200
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna have the Rockies surprisingly people and perhaps

2234
01:48:01,360 --> 01:48:05,080
Speaker 5: upsetting Marlins fans a little irrationally by winning the series

2235
01:48:05,120 --> 01:48:08,960
Speaker 5: two out of three, and yeah doing so in pretty

2236
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:12,120
Speaker 5: close fashion. I think even when this Rockies team has success,

2237
01:48:12,439 --> 01:48:14,560
Speaker 5: it's usually not gonna be pretty. They're gonna give the

2238
01:48:14,600 --> 01:48:17,959
Speaker 5: Marlins some chances to get back into it and ultimately

2239
01:48:18,439 --> 01:48:21,400
Speaker 5: do just enough to hold off Miami over the course

2240
01:48:21,439 --> 01:48:23,720
Speaker 5: of these next three games. For my series, MVP, a

2241
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,479
Speaker 5: guy that we barely touched on at all, I had

2242
01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:28,200
Speaker 5: to force them into the conversation when we read the lineups.

2243
01:48:28,520 --> 01:48:32,200
Speaker 5: Willie Castro Willie Castro, not that long ago, was looking

2244
01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:35,960
Speaker 5: like a very useful utility guy for the Minnesota Twins.

2245
01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:38,240
Speaker 5: I know that his bat really faded down the stretch

2246
01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:42,519
Speaker 5: last season in spring training. This year, Willi Castro hit

2247
01:48:42,760 --> 01:48:46,160
Speaker 5: five twenty and as silly as spring training stats can be,

2248
01:48:47,200 --> 01:48:50,080
Speaker 5: he's clearly in some kind of amazing.

2249
01:48:49,640 --> 01:48:51,000
Speaker 3: Groove entering this Yearies.

2250
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:52,639
Speaker 5: I don't know if he's gonna start all three games,

2251
01:48:52,720 --> 01:48:54,800
Speaker 5: but I think it's very likely he plays in all

2252
01:48:54,840 --> 01:48:57,240
Speaker 5: three games, so he'll get plenty of opportunities at the

2253
01:48:57,280 --> 01:49:00,800
Speaker 5: dish in order to do something impactful over the course

2254
01:49:00,880 --> 01:49:03,160
Speaker 5: of this series. So that's going to be the first,

2255
01:49:03,200 --> 01:49:05,479
Speaker 5: and I imagine the very last time that Willie Castro

2256
01:49:05,640 --> 01:49:08,800
Speaker 5: will be an MVP pick on FF Live this season.

2257
01:49:13,600 --> 01:49:17,120
Speaker 5: That's our show about one hour and fifty minutes into

2258
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:20,120
Speaker 5: this live stream, counting down to opening day of the

2259
01:49:20,200 --> 01:49:23,840
Speaker 5: Marvelin season. Thanks everybody for sticking around with us over

2260
01:49:23,880 --> 01:49:26,640
Speaker 5: the course of this show, and there's we just know

2261
01:49:26,720 --> 01:49:28,880
Speaker 5: that the next one's going to be even busier given

2262
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:32,160
Speaker 5: that interesting roster decisions that the Marls want to make

2263
01:49:32,280 --> 01:49:33,920
Speaker 5: over the course of these next few days. Just in

2264
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:37,760
Speaker 5: response to the Christopher Morel injury, and we know, as

2265
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:39,760
Speaker 5: I alluded to, that there's going to be some overreactions

2266
01:49:39,800 --> 01:49:42,479
Speaker 5: one way or another depending on how these next three

2267
01:49:42,600 --> 01:49:46,040
Speaker 5: games go. There's going tentatively we have scheduled more than

2268
01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 5: fifty of these streams over the course of the season.

2269
01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:49,880
Speaker 5: This is a rare one where it was a pre

2270
01:49:50,240 --> 01:49:52,840
Speaker 5: series discussion, but almost all the other ones are going

2271
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:56,080
Speaker 5: to be reacting very closely to the final game of

2272
01:49:56,160 --> 01:49:57,720
Speaker 5: the series. So the next stream is going to be

2273
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:00,920
Speaker 5: just two days from now, even two full days away

2274
01:50:00,960 --> 01:50:03,840
Speaker 5: from that. We'll be on mad to Sunday afternoon after

2275
01:50:03,920 --> 01:50:06,120
Speaker 5: the series finale of this one, they'll be able to

2276
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:08,559
Speaker 5: listen to wherever you get your podcast, wherever you're listening

2277
01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:11,400
Speaker 5: to it right now, and that'll be a more regular

2278
01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:13,760
Speaker 5: length show that's not going to stretch quite someng that'll

2279
01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:16,880
Speaker 5: be probably less than an hour fortyish minutes. We'll see

2280
01:50:16,920 --> 01:50:18,840
Speaker 5: once we get there and get into a groove of this,

2281
01:50:19,200 --> 01:50:20,840
Speaker 5: but really excited to be doing that over the course

2282
01:50:20,880 --> 01:50:24,000
Speaker 5: of the season. With the power of the Foul Territory Network,

2283
01:50:24,040 --> 01:50:25,240
Speaker 5: we feel like we're going to reach a lot more

2284
01:50:25,280 --> 01:50:27,640
Speaker 5: Marlins fans than we ever had before, and we're going

2285
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:29,680
Speaker 5: to bring you even a better quality show so that

2286
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:33,599
Speaker 5: you guys stick around, are impressed with us, and maybe

2287
01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:35,519
Speaker 5: find ways to support what we're doing because we cover

2288
01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:39,519
