Welcome back to another episode of Marlin's Barbecue. Unfortunately, 3 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: we ran out of budget last week. We spent all 4 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: the money on Marlin's Macho Man, so Red you had 5 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: to take a little bit of an l this week 6 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: and sit on the sidelines.

Welcome to the show, 8 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: good old friend. 9 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 2: It's good to be on this side of the conversation 10 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 2: rather than editing on the back ends. You guys have 11 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 2: been doing a great job. And yeah, I'll try to 12 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 2: bring Red's filling for Red as best I can and 13 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 2: bring the energy for our first place team that beginning 14 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: their first real home games of the season. And we 15 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: finally made it at least this far into the season, 16 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: and things are going about as well as you could 17 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: possibly hope for considering all the craft they've been through. 18 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: Hell yeah, man, I mean coming into Friday today, we're 19 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: gonna welcome Pablo Lopez. Pablo Lopez is officially gonna take 20 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: the ball for the Fish in the Marlins home opener. 21 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: And believe it or not, this is the second time 22 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: Pablo has been scheduled to take the ball on the 23 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: home opener in Miami. You guys know what happened before 24 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: the Martins got struck by the COVID and eighteen of 25 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: us went down and the rest is history. But long 26 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: story short that Marlins are eight and four entering today 27 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna face the Atlanta Praise. The Atlanta Praise are 28 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: gonna send out right. He is zero and two with 29 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: a six point seventy five R. Pablo Lopez is one 30 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: and one with a one point eight zero ER looking 31 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: awfully sharp. Eli, what are your thoughts? What have you 32 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: seen so far? 33 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: Well, I'm not surprised by Pablo. I mean I was 34 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: on the Pablo hype train dating back to January. I 35 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: have receipts. You could check the article on fish tricks. 36 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: One of my bold predictions this year was that he 37 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: was going to be the most valuable pitcher on the 38 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: Marlins team. And it took while to get here. Obviously, 39 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 2: that was back before spring training started, back before the 40 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 2: shutdown and comeback, and in between he had to overcome 41 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,399 Speaker 2: some personal tragedy. I mean, his father just passed away 42 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 2: less than a month ago in the middle of camp, 43 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 2: and he didn't know how he was going to response 44 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 2: to that, but I think right now is a good 45 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: opportunity to mention that he was on the Clubhouse, the 46 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: YouTube show that he does with Miguel Rojas on YouTube, 47 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 2: and they just came up with an episode today as 48 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: we're recording this entering this home opener, and he was 49 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: very candid about his relationship with his dad, and I 50 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 2: think the one detail that struck out to me is 51 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 2: how he felt an obligation to his dad to return 52 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 2: to the mound as soon as possible. Right, Like everybody 53 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 2: grieves differently, it's a different situation for every person when 54 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 2: they go through that kind of thing, but he felt 55 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: it was some important to his relationship to reconnect with 56 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: his dad on the field. 57 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 3: Every time I just step on the field or any 58 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 3: field step on I'm ound. I just feel like this 59 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 3: really strong connections with him. He's at one that I 60 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 3: was ever like, I was always there for me. He 61 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 3: trained me, like he prepared me, like for my tryouts 62 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 3: when I was sixteen before signing professional baseball. So just 63 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 3: like I just feel this amazing connection with you know, 64 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 3: with him. So even after a few days after it happened, 65 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 3: like I knew I had to come to the field, 66 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: like I knew I had to be here, and not 67 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 3: only to distract myself from him, but also to like 68 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 3: reconnect with him, because obviously those very first forty eight 69 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: hours are tough. So like, obviously, you know, you know 70 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: there's still something missing, but coming here to the field 71 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: just allowing me to like gain that in a whole 72 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 3: different level, a whole different aspect, you know. 73 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 2: And he's been able to do that. He's made everybody 74 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 2: proud with the way that he's performed the first two starts, 75 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: lights out against the Orioles, and honestly, I thought he 76 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: was about just as good in his last start against 77 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 2: the Mets. You know, he got some bad luck, some 78 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: rough defense behind him, some tough calls from the umpires. 79 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: We're going to get into that. How this past week 80 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: was a total wreck in terms of how it was 81 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: officiated by these object active umpires. But he now is 82 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: heading into start number three against the new opponent. The 83 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: Braves are missing some critical players. We're going to get 84 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: into that too. So things are set up pretty well 85 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: at least for the first game of this series, and 86 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: then everything after that is a big question mark because 87 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 2: this rotation and the bullpen are in a pretty messy shape, 88 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 2: and it all depends on how much you trust these 89 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 2: guys that we barely know. How close the those sick 90 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: players are to finally returning to the roster. It's a 91 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 2: big unknown right now, but so far things are shaping 92 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 2: up pretty promising hitting into Friday. 93 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: Let me running back real quick to what you were 94 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: talking about with Pablo Lopez being a Venezuela myself. I 95 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: think it's such a beautiful, heart touching, heartwarming story to 96 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: listen to Pablo Lopez talk to Miguel Rojas and talk 97 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: to the Marlins media team about what happened to him 98 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: in that hotel room and talk about his dad first 99 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: and foremost, like if you're Venezuelan, if you're Latino, you 100 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: know you guys know what I'm talking about. The reason 101 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: why we love this sport so much is because of 102 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: the past generation. I wouldn't be loving the sport of 103 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: baseball if it weren't for my parents, if it weren't 104 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: for my dad, if it weren't for my grandparents. And 105 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: I think it's so beautiful for him. Pablo Lobs to 106 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: have said, Yo, I needed to go back out to 107 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: the field and pitch for my pops, because I know 108 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: he was in heaven watching me. Bro, if a tear 109 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: didn't come out of your hot, if you're out of 110 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: your eye after you heard that and after that pitching performance, 111 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,799 Speaker 1: you have no heart, all right. But that is the reason, 112 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, why I am a Miami Marlins fan. 113 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: I'm so proud to say, like yo, Pablo Lopez, what 114 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: a freaking representation, not only not only as a Marlin, 115 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: but as a freaking Venezuelan like heat. He went out 116 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,559 Speaker 1: there and pitched his heart out and what a time, 117 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: all right? This is his calling to be the Marlins ace, 118 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: all right. No disrespect to Sandy Contra, who got the 119 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: opening day nod this year, and he deserved it rightfully so, 120 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: but he went down to the COVID nineteen like many 121 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: other Marlins. And you know, this season, this tragedy, this 122 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: pandemic that we're going through, has been a calling for 123 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: many people, many people to open their eyes, to connect 124 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: with themselves, to see to face the truth, face the reality, 125 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: see one on one who you are, look at yourself 126 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: in the mirror and say, hey, am I happy with 127 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: who I am? Am? I not happy with who I am. 128 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: And Pablo Lopez took all this like he was in 129 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: the eye of a hurricane, okay, so to speak, and 130 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: he just he just sat there and he pitched his 131 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: heart out. He thought about all the great times that 132 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: he lived, and he fell in love with the sport 133 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: of baseball, and he's thankful for his dad. So rip 134 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: to Senior Lopez, and thank you for leaving a talented kid, 135 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: a kid that he is leaving his mark here in 136 00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: Martlin's Nation and all across Major League Baseball. With that 137 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: being said, enough of the sad stories. I'm super happy 138 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: with these Miami Marlins. Huh, look at these Miami Marlins. 139 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: Bro We're eight and four and we're gonna face these 140 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: freaking Atlanta Braves. And if this is the year, this 141 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: is the year, guys. The Atlanta Braves lost their freaking 142 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: starting pitcher, their rotation ace. He went down. Recently, the 143 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: Mets pitcher showman said he was going to respectfully decline, 144 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: he was gonna step away, all right because of the pandemic. 145 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: And you got to understand him. Just like Eastan Dias, 146 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: we took a player that stepped out and said, hey, 147 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not gonna play this season. But guys, 148 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: if we've been talking about this all Twitter Nation has 149 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: been talking about this, why not now? Right now is 150 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: the year we got reinforcements coming in. We got breaking news. 151 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: We got to miss the Sandi al Chandra has got 152 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: two negative tests for the COVID nineteen and he's set 153 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: to join the roster in Miami. Eli, Please give me 154 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: some more information, tell us what the hell is going on? 155 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: Well, this is breaking news from Hector Rodriguez, who is 156 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: one of our riders here at Fish Stripes. Been doing 157 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 2: a lot of prospect coverage the last couple of years. 158 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: He's going to be at the ballpark later this homestand 159 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: as well. And yeah, this is from sources very close 160 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: to the situation. So there's no doubt about it that 161 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: Sandy has tested negative for the virus two consecutive times. 162 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 2: That's the key, right because we've had a handful of 163 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: players already on the Marlins that have tested negative ones. 164 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 2: But there can be a lot of volatility to this 165 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 2: technology that they're using. You need to test negatively two 166 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 2: times and at least separated by a full day in between, 167 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 2: just to make sure they got it right. So he's 168 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 2: finally clear to return. He pitched on opening Day and 169 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 2: that was I mean, that was three weeks ago. So 170 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 2: it's now three weeks removed from the last time he 171 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 2: pitched in the game, and he's on the mens. He's 172 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 2: not said to return to the roster quite yet. The 173 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 2: hope is that now he's going to report to Jupiter 174 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: in the next few days and get into some game 175 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: settings where in the alternate side in Jupiter, that's where 176 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: all the players in the pool who are not on 177 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: the active roster, that's where they've been training against one another, 178 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 2: playing a lot of scrimmages against one another. So presumably 179 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 2: that's a step for him is to throw a bullpen 180 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 2: session over there, get himself worked up to go into 181 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 2: one of those scrimmage games against his own teammates in 182 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: the player pool. And I mean, that's the big complication 183 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: from there, I'll get I want to get your perspective 184 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 2: on it. How quickly do you think they want to 185 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 2: bring them back, because it's been like three weeks since 186 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 2: they last pitch in the game, No doubt about it. 187 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 2: When you're a starter, you need to get stretched out 188 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 2: a little bit during all that downtime. In terms to 189 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: get back into the kind of shape you were in before, 190 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 2: to get conditioned the right way to pitch deep into 191 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 2: the game. So the difficult choice that the Marlins will 192 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 2: have with him, along with Jose Ourna, along with Caleb Smith, 193 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 2: those are the other starters that tested positive for COVID 194 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: during the outbreak, is to bring them back as soon 195 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 2: as possible, knowing that they're not stretched out to go 196 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 2: deep into games, you know, just add them to the 197 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: pitching staff as soon as you can, or do you 198 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 2: let them get a couple of those like rehab starts 199 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 2: going and to stretch themselves out to be exactly how 200 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: they used to be entering the season and then wait them. 201 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 2: So it's that difficult bouncing act right between bring them 202 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 2: in as reinforcements to your team or waiting until they're 203 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 2: fully back to being their normal self. I'm wondering how 204 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 2: would you approach it if you were making the decisions here. 205 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: Well, man, I'm just thankful right now with the baseball 206 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: guys that were getting Sandy alk Contra back, and I'm 207 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: just thinking it's a taking time bomb until we get 208 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: a Jose Reina back and we get Caleb Smith back 209 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: and The reason why I say it taking time bomb 210 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: is because that's gonna be a problem. It's gonna blow 211 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: up a good problem for Marlin's Nation and Don Manley, 212 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: you have. I realistically think that we can see Sandy 213 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: alk Contra back in the mound within a week for 214 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay series. There's gonna be a couple series 215 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: gonna go by. We're gonna see Atlanta go by in 216 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: Miami and see New York go by, and then we 217 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: might see the Mornings Welcome back to Sandy al Contra. 218 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: There's no reason for you not to expect Handy to 219 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: be up back on the mound this season as soon 220 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: as possible. But at the same time, you got to 221 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: be a little bit cautious, right. You can't risk your 222 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: whole freaking this guy's career for one season. Listen. I 223 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: said it myself, this is the opportunity, this is the 224 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: year for the Months to win it all, but we 225 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: also got to take care of our arms. With that 226 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: being said, I'm looking forward to another start from Mumbertumhia. 227 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: He did a hell of a job on his first start. 228 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: He got a slap on the ass from Francisco Sarah Velly, 229 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: San Francisco Sarah Velly. That passion, that drive and enthusiasm 230 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: that he brings to the whole pitching rotation is what 231 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: we need from a veteran catcher. And speaking of reinforcements, 232 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: I cannot wait to hoor hey al Faro comes back, 233 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: and I hope he comes back with his hair dyed. 234 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: And I don't care what Lewis Princeton says, or hey, 235 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: beat that pied on my mono, and that got Lewis 236 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: Prince's He's here that beat the bday. So Jay, Bob 237 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: and Coo and Bill. 238 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 2: Oh yo, gotta be true to yourself. That's that's when 239 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 2: Jorge is at his best, is when he's really leaning 240 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 2: into his personality. 241 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: If he's got if he's got purple hair. But if 242 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: he's got purple hair and he's batting three hundred yo, 243 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: rock and roll, baby, give him the purple hair. I 244 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: ain't worried about it. 245 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 2: It was the first guy. If people remember, he's the 246 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: one that says it positive right on the eve of 247 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 2: open not even the eve, in the lead up, in 248 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 2: the pregame to opening day, he didn't even get on 249 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 2: the field he was supposed to be in that opening 250 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 2: day lineup didn't even get to play, so frustrating for him. 251 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 2: With Sandy, as far as we know, he was asymptomatic 252 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 2: the entire time. He didn't have any symptoms from COVID, 253 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: and I think based on there was another other conversation 254 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 2: on the clubhouse a week prior where Jorge was there, 255 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 2: it sounded like the same thing from him that he 256 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 2: never had symptoms. He was a fortunate one, and I 257 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: mean that gives you some hope that they can get 258 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 2: back to being exactly who they were once they were 259 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 2: able to actually get these reps and recover from all 260 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 2: the downtime that they had, and with everybody else, it's 261 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 2: still like a big waiting game. But the question in 262 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 2: between is how much you trust the guys on the 263 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 2: roster right now to keep performing, because we should rewind 264 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 2: a little bit to this Blue Jays series. This Blue 265 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: Jays series was a historic series for a number of reasons. 266 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 2: Is the first time that we saw the new extra 267 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 2: ending rule in a Marrons game in the major leagues, 268 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,359 Speaker 2: where they started with the guys on second base automatically 269 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 2: and both games went into extra ennings, the first one 270 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 2: tied at four heading into extras on Tuesday, and then yes, 271 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 2: and then on Wednesday tied at eleven heading into extra 272 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 2: innings after big meltdown, So it was notable from like 273 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 2: that standpoint. It's seeing the different rules in play and 274 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 2: the different strategies that both times brought the game to 275 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: an end pretty quickly after just ten innings, and they 276 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 2: played that whole series. What do you think of that 277 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 2: fact that they were playing the series in a minor 278 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 2: league field in Salem Fields in Buffalo, New York instead 279 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 2: of not being allowed to play in Toronto due to 280 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 2: the government's opinions on how to control the virus in Canada. 281 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 2: The Blue is being relocated and this was the first 282 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 2: time since nineteen oh five that they played major league 283 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 2: games in Buffalo. From what you saw of the fields 284 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 2: and the conditions, did it pass the smell tests? You 285 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 2: thought it was a legitimate game and a legitimate series 286 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 2: to take place in western New York. 287 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: Well, first and foremost, man, let me slow you down 288 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: a little bit, because this is Marlin's barbecue and you 289 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: go way too fast for me. So hey, let's do it, 290 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: and my man read you know, my man Red's name. 291 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: Let me get a couple of loggers out, Eli slow 292 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: your role.

All right, let me answer the triple A 300 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: stadium question. First, man, it was the first time and 301 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: I don't know how many freaking years and major League 302 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: Baseball was played in Buffalo, and it felt so good 303 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: and only right that it had to be twenty twenty 304 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: when the world was going upside down and this whole 305 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: COVID struck the world that the Miami Martins would go 306 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: to Buffalo and play the Toronto Blue Jays of Buffalo 307 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: in Buffalo split the series. I was proud of the 308 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: Marlins in the way that, yeah, we were able to 309 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: get a game out of the series, but holy cal Bro, 310 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: we had no pitching.

Wow, and let me sidetrack for 314 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: a second. I think it's so cool that the Toronto 315 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: Blue Jays have Boba Schett, they got Vigio, they got Guerrero, 316 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, Yo, you know what, the only thing 317 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: they're really missing here is a co nine and they 318 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: have a Conine in the minor leagues. How cool would 319 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: it be for that Conine to make it the major leagues? 320 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: And how even cooler would it be for mister Marlin 321 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: to become mister Jay if he turned out to be 322 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: the manager?

Brian Anderson, what are coincidence 332 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: that the Marlins have had a different lineup every single 333 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: game this season, But the only coincidence out of all 334 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: those lineups is that Ba has batted in the fifth 335 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: hole all year and he's been producing left and right. 336 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: Can somebody explain to me how we got the best 337 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: hitter in our team batting fifth and we don't move him? 338 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: Like Jesus, I love Hazeu's aguilar, he's doing a great job, 339 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 1: he's raking. He's a part time groundskeeper alongside Brian Addison 340 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: and Coley Dickinson. But Jesus, man, can we give him 341 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 1: an opportunity? And what was question number three? Eli three 342 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: or four? 343 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 2: Well, well, let's stick on this for a second about Anderson, 344 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 2: because I agree with you, we're totally on the same 345 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 2: page there that he was a good player each of 346 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 2: the past two years for this team, and we saw 347 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 2: it heading into the season that it looked like he 348 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 2: was going to take another step forward, at least offensively. 349 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 2: You know, there was no place for him to go 350 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 2: forward as a defender. I mean, he's already that gold 351 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 2: Glove caliber defender at boll third base, right field. The 352 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 2: question is could he play to more power in games settings? 353 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 2: And we saw some of that right before he got injured. 354 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 2: In twenty nineteen, he picked up exactly where he left off. 355 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 2: He's one of the best. He's one of the best 356 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 2: offensive players in baseball right now, you know, through the 357 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 2: first twelve games of their season, and he's hitting the power. 358 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 2: He's hitting it to all fields, a lot of hard contact. 359 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 2: He's a guy that he could say he's the best 360 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 2: offensive player on the team. And so he shouldn't be 361 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 2: on the like below the heart of the order, he 362 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 2: shouldn't be in that number five spot. 363 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 4: And he just rolled it through the right side and 364 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 4: he sends one high in the air to deep left field. 365 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 4: Goryel turns around, looks at a three run blast for 366 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 4: Brian Anderson. Marlins jump out to the yearly lead. 367 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 2: What Mattingley likes to do. And Mattingley was grilled about 368 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 2: this on one of the conference calls that we had 369 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: on Zoom about why Anderson's number five, And you know, 370 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: it's not a really satisfying answer. He points to the obvious. 371 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 2: He says that Andy is doing great. Let's leave him 372 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 2: in a spot where he's performing well. You know, things 373 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 2: are going well for him, and why change it? But 374 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 2: I mean My counter to him is, like, would he 375 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 2: be less comfortable if he's batting fourth, if he's batting third, 376 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 2: if he's batting the seconds, Like, how would that possibly 377 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 2: have a negative impact on him just by giving him 378 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 2: more opportunities to get to the plate. I agree with you, 379 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 2: it's a little head scratching. It's gonna change before the 380 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 2: end of the year if he keeps us up, I 381 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 2: mean right now, if he keeps us up, he's gonna 382 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 2: be It's gonna be one of the great offensive seasons 383 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: that any third baseman for the Marlins has ever had. 384 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 2: You know, this is peak Mike Lowell type of stuff. 385 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 2: If not even a little bit more power than that's. 386 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: Hey, you know what I was thinking about Brian listen 387 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: today and I was thinking about man, I can't wait 388 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: to have him on the show. And one of the 389 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: things I want to say to him is like, yo, ba, 390 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: what does it feel like to be one of the 391 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: superstars on this team? Like, bro, this guy is not 392 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: a superstar on the sense of like you're thinking John 393 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: Carlo Christian Yelich, but you're thinking superstar on the sense 394 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: of like a chip of Jones. And if you're thinking 395 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: superstar on the sense of chipp of Jones. Chipp of 396 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: Jones is a Hall of Famer and Christian Yelich and 397 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: John Carlo Stanton got a long way to go. So 398 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: if they're telling you that you're a chipp of Jones 399 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: for this Miami Monins organization, I think that shit goes 400 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: a long way. 401 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 2: Brother. I'm not gonna say that yet. I was like, 402 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 2: he's on a great pace. You know, he is on 403 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 2: the pace to have like a Chip for Jones type 404 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 2: of season. 405 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: He's on that pace. If they would not thrown that 406 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: that ball on the inside last season, it broke his hand. 407 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: I think we can see Chip and Jones type numbers 408 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: he was. He was on a crazy home run pace 409 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: last year too. He is second on the team with two. 410 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: I think he's been in two eighty. He's leading the 411 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: team in RBIs. I mean, Brian Anderson, bro he's the 412 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: type of guy that you want around. Like, I don't 413 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: know why, I too did this the other day and 414 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: I said, Francisco Saravelli, he's been doing one hell of 415 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: a job, okay, leading this young Miami Marlins team during 416 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: these past few days. That three run shot he hit 417 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, that three run shot he hit in Toronto, 418 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: Francco Deamo meng damn. 419 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 2: And it was amazing. And I don't know exactly how 420 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 2: much we're gonna remember because. 421 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: Double fiz pump. He did the double fist pump. 422 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 5: Yo. 423 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: He looked like Sammy Sosa. Top ninth, two outs, he 424 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: got the three to oh green light blasted it. They 425 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: were talking about fish strip Eli. I know you tweeted it. 426 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: I saw you to it. He was like, well, Francisco 427 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: be the hero again tonight. And I was like, I so, 428 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: I so fucking wish. So he does and he really 429 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: did it. Bro. When he hit that ball, he connected, 430 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 1: he knew it. He did the double fist pump, he 431 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: did the little jump in the air. He was like 432 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: Sammy Sosa. Man, life is good Miami. Where you at. 433 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 4: Threol Survelli with a drive out to left. 434 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: And gone run the tiet two outs in the night. 435 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 4: Servelle even stings. 436 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: Up no way. 437 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 5: Paul I said, three two con you walk a hitter 438 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 5: on a slide to get to the tying run and 439 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 5: Cervelli swings out a three to zero pitch and goes 440 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 5: yard green light. 441 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna remember it for sure, because of that 442 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 2: sweet it was two outs, I mean, just to set 443 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 2: the scene for people. They're down four to one, down 444 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 2: to their final out, top of the ninth. He had 445 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 2: the two runners on base, so he's at the plate. 446 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 2: He was representing the tying run. And he's a guy 447 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 2: that we've mentioned this, you know, the numbers inn't fully 448 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 2: reflected the first couple of weeks. But he's consistently hammering 449 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 2: the ball like he is hitting the ball as hard 450 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 2: right now and as consistently as any other time in 451 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 2: his career. And that's saying a lot, because this is 452 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 2: a guy now in his thirteenth major league season. He's 453 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 2: been around a while. A lot of people would suspect 454 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 2: that he's on the decline as best stays are behind him. Yep, 455 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 2: but you don't know exactly what it is. For whatever reason, 456 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 2: he's he's totally locked in entering this year, you know, 457 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 2: and now that he's had this opportunity, this opportunity that 458 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 2: he probably honestly didn't expect to have as the primary catcher, 459 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 2: he's catching almost every single day, and they're trusting him 460 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 2: to do it, to work with the hit, to work 461 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 2: with the young pitchers, and also to hit himself and 462 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 2: like that didn't it didn't win them the game, it 463 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 2: almost did, And I just had a feeling, you know, 464 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 2: I since had that little teaser, that clip of him. 465 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 2: He's a guy that, I mean, beyond anything he could 466 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 2: do on the field, He's just so likable off the 467 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 2: field and enthusiastic and clever, and we have that one 468 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 2: clip of him saying that it's gonna be me. It's 469 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 2: gonna be me, and that was like the perfect time 470 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 2: to put that out there. 471 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: I'm very humble and I can tell you there's gonna. 472 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 2: Be me, and yeah, he delivered in that moment. He's incredible. 473 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 2: He's absolutely incredible for a guy on a one year deal, 474 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: you know, late in his career that under these circumstances, 475 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 2: they didn't know exactly what to expect of him, whether 476 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 2: coming off a really bad year in twenty nineteen he 477 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 2: was on the braves. 478 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: For Yeah, they were just trying to find out if 479 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: he had something left in the tank. And like, to 480 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: be honest with you, like I think when Marlin's fans 481 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: signed a Martine Prato during the whole traggy, the whole 482 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: tragedy to Jose Fernandez, like we got the downside to 483 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: a Martine Prato. And I hate to compare this right now, 484 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: and I hate to compare a Martine Prato to a 485 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: Francisco Saravelli, but literally, like, we sign a Francisco Saravelli 486 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: this offseason, and I was like, why do we sign 487 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: a Francisco Saravelli, Like this guy, like he's been trying 488 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: to prove he's got something left in the tank. And 489 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: for this guy to come to Miami except the one 490 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: year contract as a backup to freaking johel Faro. You 491 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: no disrespect to Jorge Hore. You're a monster and you're 492 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: the next best catcher in all a Major League baseball. 493 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: But what a compliment, what a compliment to have Francisco 494 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: Saravelli as the backup catcher the Jogel Faro and to 495 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: see him perform the way he's performed for the Miami Marlins. 496 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: Bro I'm so proud. I'm so proud in the sense 497 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: he's great Marlon, He's a great Venezuelan and he's a 498 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: great clubhouse leader. In going back to the Martine Prado 499 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: and comparing him to Francisco Saravelli, when he hit that 500 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: game time three run home run in the ninth with 501 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: two outs. That Nike emblem looked like a C on 502 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: his chest, like a captain that this Miami Marlins team 503 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: very much desperately needed during these times. Francisco, chef, Francisco 504 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,959 Speaker 1: sank you. And you know what I'm saying, like Dean Martin, 505 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: for all your all, all your old heads that like music, Yeah, 506 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: y'all listen to every type of different type of music 507 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: in the world. Dean Martin, He's got a song that's 508 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: called some od. If you can freaking rhyme, I would 509 00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: sing a song for Francisco. Oh when he hit the 510 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: the hundred with two our house in the bottom of 511 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: the nine, three, y oh yeah, Francisco seven really hit 512 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 1: the three run shot. And that is amody. That's ry 513 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: Miami Marlins. It's amoded. So look it up, Dean Martin, amode. 514 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 1: So I ain't butchering it up like that. Eli. It's 515 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: the loggers getting to me, my bad. 516 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: He brings out that side of people, the way that 517 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 2: he conducts himself on them. 518 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: He hit that ding ding ding in the bottom of 519 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: the ninth with two hours he had the game. It's 520 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: Francisco said, of really. 521 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 2: We talked that was Tuesday's game, and we need to 522 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 2: talk about Wednesdays game a little bit more. The game 523 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 2: of the Marlins won that they barely won, where they 524 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 2: jumped out to that three nothing lead, That was Andy 525 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 2: doing his thing in the first inning, three run homer, 526 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 2: and then they wore down that rookie pitcher and Nate 527 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 2: Pearson in the third inning, another big rally. They got 528 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 2: up eight to nothing in the third inning. And then 529 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 2: this pitching staff, you saw all the cracks in this 530 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 2: young pitching staff, you know, not just young, this young 531 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 2: but inexperienced pitching staff, this unfamiliar staff of guys behind 532 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 2: Jordan Yamamoto, who himself was a little uneven. And then 533 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 2: the bullpen combined there was an almost unprecedented situation. They 534 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 2: allowed a home run in the third inning, They allowed 535 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 2: a home run in the fourth inning, in the fifth inning, 536 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,479 Speaker 2: in the sixth inning, in the seventh inning, in the 537 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 2: eighth inning. It was it was kind of traumatizing, wasn't it. 538 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 2: Where they had that big lead, but you just all 539 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 2: these guys coming out of the pen, you couldn't really 540 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 2: trust any of them, and on one night, almost all 541 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 2: of them let the team down one after the other 542 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 2: after the other to give that lead back where it 543 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 2: went from eight to nothing to eleven to eleven, and again, 544 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 2: the outcome of the game is con slants our perspective 545 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 2: in this kind of situation. They won the game, and 546 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 2: that was a game they needed to win to put 547 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 2: a halt to the three game losing streak. So the 548 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 2: fact that they came out on top, you know, that 549 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 2: sends the good vibes on the flight that took them 550 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 2: back to Miami. That gets everybody really excited, solidifies the 551 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 2: team in first place for the time being. People chalk 552 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 2: that up to a positive experience, but I mean, that's 553 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 2: got to be really concerning, doesn't it. When you see 554 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 2: all those guys, whether it was Brian Ran, whether it 555 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: was who did they bring it in that game? It 556 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 2: was almost everybody that they brought in just didn't really 557 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 2: have it, including Brad Boksburger too, Boxburger. People love his 558 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 2: last name, People love the stuff that he has that 559 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 2: he's been showing throughout spring and summer camp. And he 560 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 2: started this year in the regular season five straight scoreless 561 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 2: outings and then he was the one that gave up 562 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 2: the game tying home runs in the eighth inning, just 563 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 2: when it looks like things were settling down. It was 564 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 2: his first big meltdown of the season too. That I mean, 565 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 2: aside from on like Brandon Kinsler. At this moment in 566 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 2: time where you don't know exactly where these other COVID 567 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 2: relievers are gonna come back from the injured list, if 568 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 2: you're stuck with who you have for the time being, 569 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 2: it's it doesn't feel like any lead is safe at 570 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 2: the moment for this team, with the collection of arms 571 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 2: that they got. 572 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: I read a tweet the other day that said, it 573 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: feels like these designative free agents that the Martins acquired, 574 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: it feels like the cinder redlid glass slipper is starting 575 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: to fall off, like the magic spell is tarrying to 576 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: fall off. And I completely feel that James Hoyite has 577 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: done one good ass job. We had Richard Blier come over, 578 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: the Miami Native. He did a good job before he 579 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: got hurt. We had a Josh D. Smith, and a 580 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: Smith and a B. Smith and however many Smiths we 581 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: got left in that bullpen. They did a good job. 582 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: We got to save and everything, but man, eventually one 583 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: of these guys, guy was gonna blow up. They were 584 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: gonna implode, Like, why did you think that got designated 585 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: for an assignment? Yeah, Craig bitch said it beautifully. He tweeted, 586 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: he said, Hey, for those guys that got designated for 587 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: an assignment, how beautiful for the Miami Marlins to sign 588 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: you guys and give you a second opportunity. And I 589 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: felt that with that being said, like that magic's falling off, 590 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: and thank god it's happened in the niked time when 591 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: the Marlins are starting to have reinformants starting to come back. 592 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: We mentioned earlier that semi culture is going to come back. 593 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: But what's gonna happen with Doctor K? What's gonna happen 594 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: with Jose I Rena? All Right, I'm not so worried 595 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: about Doctor K because I know Doctor K's gonna come 596 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: back and they're gonna put him in the rotation starting 597 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: pitching rotation. But Jose Reina is a luxury Eli, what 598 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: do you do with him? I mean, do you slot 599 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: them in as a sarrny pressure or you throw them 600 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: in the bullpen if you're done? 601 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 2: Maddingly, A lot of that will depends on what we 602 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 2: see from Virtual mahia Is next time out, because that 603 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 2: first and rush of him, and he was a guy 604 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 2: that he was on our radar for sure. He had 605 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 2: a huge season in the minor leagues in twenty nineteen 606 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,959 Speaker 2: in a ball and high a an era in the 607 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 2: low twos. He's the guy that throws strikes and he 608 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 2: has a really filthy curveball. 609 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: That. 610 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a guy that you thought had interesting potential, 611 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 2: but he's not a top of the scale type of 612 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: top of the rotation potential prospects. He was pretty far 613 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 2: down on the depth chart. He was No. Six Dos 614 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 2: Sanchez or a Max Meyer or an Edward Cabrera. He's 615 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 2: honestly a tier below them in terms of the stuff 616 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 2: he has and the other intangibles that takes to be 617 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 2: a consistent starting pitcher. So in his first outing, you know, 618 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 2: only going two and a third, he's expected to make 619 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 2: his next start either this upcoming weekend against Braves or 620 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 2: maybe one of the first couple of games against the Mets. 621 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 2: He was on their taxi squad, so they had to 622 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 2: officially put him back on the roster. And it's gonna 623 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 2: depends a lot on what he does his next time out, 624 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,719 Speaker 2: because he's gonna have to go a lot further than 625 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 2: two and a third, But it depends exactly how much 626 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 2: further that it goes, Like, I see a guy that 627 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 2: you trust to make that leap into your rotation immediately, 628 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 2: the same kind of jump that someone like Jordan Yamamoto 629 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 2: made last year. With Yamamoto, he jumped up straight from 630 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 2: double A and he's stuck for half a season until 631 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 2: he suffered a minor injury himself. And it's kind of 632 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 2: unusual to see that happen. But if you're a new 633 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 2: guy on the block and you could take opponents by surprise, 634 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 2: if they don't have that full scouting report on you, 635 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 2: you can overachieve. And that's kind of what the team 636 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 2: is banking on right now. You know, Don Mattingly said 637 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,239 Speaker 2: it best that this is not a developmental year at 638 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 2: the major league level. They're not keeping these prospects on 639 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 2: the roster and focused entirely on their development. It's a 640 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 2: tough situation where you have to throw them into the 641 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 2: fire and hope they contribute because the season is so 642 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 2: short and the season has started off so well that 643 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 2: they see a chance, They see this chance to be 644 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 2: a contending team ahead of schedule, and these guys are 645 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 2: going to be put in opportunities to help right away. 646 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: How cool is that? I'm sorry to interrupt you, but 647 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: how cool is that that don't umberto Mehia is considered 648 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: a Tier two guy compared to six so Sanchez. Right 649 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: that being said, like, how cool is that that Umberto 650 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: came in made his major league debut and he's got 651 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: such a nice curve ball. Like that talks about the 652 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: job the front office is done for this Miami Martins organization. 653 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: Like these guys, whatever guy they throw out there right now, 654 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: they're doing a hell of a job. Like they look quality, 655 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: they look like proven major league baseball players, Like I'm 656 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: so proud to have my name next to these Miami Marlins. 657 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: Like it's like, Yo, that's my squad, that's my team. 658 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 2: And some a shout out to Daniel Castano as well. 659 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 2: He made his debut in that Mets series on the road. 660 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 2: He was a guy that honestly is even more of 661 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 2: an afterthought. He was acquired in that Ozuna trade along 662 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 2: with Sandy, along with Zach Gallen, magneris Sierra and we've 663 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 2: seen all those guys now have some success on various levels. 664 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,439 Speaker 2: Castano was the final piece of that puzzle, the one 665 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 2: that doesn't have the overwhelming stuff, doesn't have the big fastball. 666 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 2: But he was performing so well last year at Double A, 667 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 2: mostly in Jacksonville, and by default, you know, the plan 668 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 2: was not to have him starting major league games this year. 669 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 2: I feel pretty confident about that. They did invite him 670 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 2: the major league spring training. He's obviously in the player pool, 671 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 2: but for him to be flung into this situation was 672 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 2: also pretty surprising. With him, at least he gave them 673 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 2: a little bit more length and that first start he 674 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 2: had working into the fifth inning, I'm not quite as 675 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 2: confident in him being able to succeed right away at 676 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 2: the major league level, but it's gonna be It's gonna 677 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 2: come down to those results. I imagine that both of 678 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 2: those guys, Botha and Castano, are going to get these 679 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 2: starts coming up, and it's gonna be as simple as 680 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 2: the performance. If either of them show the opportunity to 681 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 2: contribute right away, then they stick in the rotation and 682 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 2: you know, you feel the rest of the pitching staff 683 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 2: around them once you get guys back healthy. 684 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: And you know what, I thought it was a little 685 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,839 Speaker 1: bit weak. I thought it was a little bit weak 686 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: that Peter Linzo celebrated like he won the freaking Game 687 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 1: three of the freaking NLDS against the Marlins. When he 688 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: freaking hit that home run against Castano, he was like, yeah, 689 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: I hate that whole Bud, I hate that home Lind. 690 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: But he wasn't acting like that the day before when 691 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: freaking umberto Maheel was making them look like a fool 692 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: on that curveball. Like, ladies and gentlemen, this Miami Marlins 693 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: pitching is got death for days. So Castano didn't have 694 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: his best stuff and he got an l for that. 695 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: That that opening, that's valid, that's cool, But I ain't 696 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: worried about it. Bro. Have y'all seen our top one 697 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 1: hundred prospects. I didn't even worried about it, Bro. Miami 698 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: Martins wearing good hands, Derek Jeter, Brushaman, thank you so much. 699 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 5: Man. 700 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: You guys are killing it. Mike Hale deserves a raise, well, he. 701 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 2: Deserves a new contract. That's a big question coming up. 702 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: You know. 703 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 2: Craig Mish has been all over that that most of 704 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 2: the guys in the front office they got contract extensions 705 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 2: before this season started because they were heading into contract 706 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 2: years and they got that pat On the back that 707 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 2: we want to keep you guys together. And the only 708 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 2: guy that's not under a contract now for beyond this 709 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 2: season is Mike Hill. You know, the expectation is that, 710 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 2: especially if the team is performing as well as it 711 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,439 Speaker 2: is right now, that they're going to work something out. 712 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,879 Speaker 2: But first things first is just making sure that he's 713 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 2: still around with the team. It's been that tough balancing act, 714 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 2: you know, which year where obviously most of the guys 715 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:53,240 Speaker 2: that he inherited that we're in big positions with the Marlins. 716 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 2: Before he came in, he parted ways with them. He 717 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 2: wanted to start fresh, turn a new page, and start 718 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 2: bringing new philosophy, is a new values, and Mike Hill 719 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 2: was one of the few holdovers from that situation. And 720 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 2: I mean, it's proven that they're a pretty good fit 721 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 2: with one another. So I just hope they make that official. 722 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 2: Still not official as of like here we are in 723 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,359 Speaker 2: the middle of the season, but I'm sure they can 724 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 2: work something out once we get things over with. And 725 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 2: I mean, we can't totally turn the page on that 726 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 2: crazy road trip without mentioning the umpiring that was going on. 727 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 2: I mean, especially during the Mets series a little bit 728 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 2: in Buffalo too. During those two games that played against 729 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 2: the Blue Jays, at the strike zone was just all 730 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 2: over the plate. I mean, I guess one that stands 731 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 2: out was actually in that first game against the Blue Jays, 732 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 2: in the bottom of the tenth inning, Steven Tarpley in 733 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 2: a three to one count, the winning run in scoring position. 734 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 2: He is working for the strikeout and he throws a 735 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,720 Speaker 2: three to one pitch that's like right over the middle 736 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 2: of the plate, and the ump calls at ball four, 737 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,879 Speaker 2: and that's totally that puts the team against the wall, 738 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 2: that gives them like no chance to wiggle out of it, 739 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 2: turning what should have been a key strike into a 740 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 2: ball four. And there were just so many countless examples 741 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 2: of that in all those games that they played the 742 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 2: last couple series. And I'm not someone I hate to 743 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 2: ever place the blame on something beyond your control. I 744 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 2: like to think that no matter what the two teams 745 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 2: that are playing on any given day, the talent is 746 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,880 Speaker 2: so similar. Even in this situation, even when the Marlins 747 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 2: are digging so deep into their organization to find talent, 748 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 2: that these guys are all potential major leaguers that you 749 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 2: put them head to head in a bunch of times 750 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 2: that essentially the games are going to be split down 751 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 2: the middle, that you don't want to allow anything else 752 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 2: to make a difference other than the talents on the field. 753 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 2: But it was I thought it was impossible to ignore, right, 754 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,280 Speaker 2: some of the calls that we saw in these recent games. 755 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,320 Speaker 1: Shout out to Danny Martinez, all right, Shout out to 756 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 1: Danny Martinez and his wife, who's doing one a hell 757 00:38:55,640 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 1: of a job on Miami Marlins art. She's she's recreating 758 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: feel good moments in Marlin season this year, from the 759 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 1: double fist pump in to the Eddie Alvarez jumping in 760 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: the air and making one hell of a fucking play, 761 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: Like you're listen to me. Guys like Danny Martinez didn't 762 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 1: need to say this. If you guys are watching the 763 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: Marlins games, you guys would notice that the umpires behind 764 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,360 Speaker 1: home plate were pretty much blond. Okay, what a shame 765 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: to Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball umpires, 766 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: those associations. I cannot believe the way these guys have 767 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: missed strikes and balls all COVID season long. Okay, the 768 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: other last night, seconds ago, I'm sorry, seconds ago. I 769 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: just saw Sad Grankey calling out the homeplate umpire telling them, 770 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: come on, bro, you can't miss that on a freaking strike, 771 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: a fastball at the knees. Obviously it was gonna be 772 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,839 Speaker 1: a strike three and freaking the umpire said, nah, it's 773 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 1: a ball. Zach Cranky told them, bro, come on, man, 774 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 1: you can't miss that. And I completely agree, major League Baseball, 775 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: you cannot miss this strike zone. You cannot send an 776 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:13,720 Speaker 1: umpiring crew out to cover a Major League Baseball series 777 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: and these guys can call the difference between the ball 778 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 1: and the strike. Rob Manfred, where are you at? You 779 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 1: haven't been present when the freaking Ashs blew it. You 780 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 1: haven't been present when the Red Sox blew it. You 781 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,800 Speaker 1: haven't been present during this whole Corona virus. The Miami 782 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 1: Martins were the first team to go down with the 783 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: Corona virus. Now the Cardinals are going down with coronavirus, 784 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: and you know what to keep up with the KANUTI, 785 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a round of applause because you 786 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: haven't canceled the baseball season yet, even though the Cardinals 787 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: are fucked and they have no way to complete this 788 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: season this year. Okay, shout out to the Marlins. The 789 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 1: Marlins were able to recover from the COVID nineteen and 790 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,799 Speaker 1: we're in the season. We're in the playoff chase right now. 791 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: But Yo, Robert Manfred bro going back to you, Robbie, 792 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: How many times do we have to back you up? 793 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: Robbie Bro? You're the commissioner of Baseball. You're supposed to 794 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 1: look after what's best in baseball. How is it not 795 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 1: possible for you to implement like a freaking executive border. 796 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: Aren't you a freaking president of baseball? Aren't you this 797 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: guy in charge of everything, everything that happens, all the rules, 798 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: all everything, Bro, Why can't you implement some type of 799 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 1: rule where no team in Major League Baseball has to 800 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: see the same umpiring crew after one month? How is 801 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: it possible for the Martins to see the same umpiring crew, 802 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, three, four or five times the same time, 803 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,879 Speaker 1: like in a row. Like there's no way, Like, Oh, 804 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 1: the Marlins got the same umpiring crew when they face 805 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: the Orioles, the same umpiring crew when they face the Phillies, 806 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: the same umpiring crew when they face the Blue Jays, 807 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,399 Speaker 1: same umpiring crew when they flace the Braves the same 808 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 1: umpiring crew when they play some Mets. You guys are 809 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 1: a freaking joke. Bro what a disgrace, Like I can't 810 00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 1: believe you, Rob Manfred, you're making Roger Goodell look than you. 811 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 2: Well, you put me in this position where I now 812 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 2: got to stick up for Manfred. And I hate to 813 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,759 Speaker 2: be in this position because it's hard to stick up 814 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 2: for that guy. 815 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 1: And it's cool, and I'll stick up for Tony Clark, 816 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: Tony nice, nice beard. 817 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 2: Well with what he's done with the sport this year, 818 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 2: it's been a bad year for Manfred, no doubt. And you, 819 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 2: I mean, you're correct in that he's got that power 820 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 2: to do pretty much whatever he wants because we've seen it. 821 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,720 Speaker 2: We've seen it during the season. The season got started, 822 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,400 Speaker 2: they decided that, well, we don't know if we're going 823 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 2: to be able to get all these games in, so 824 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 2: when we have to make up the games we need 825 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 2: to puld, we need to make some changes to the 826 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,359 Speaker 2: rules of the game. He was the one that right 827 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 2: in the middle of the season he decided that it 828 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 2: would be best for everybody to do seven ending double headers. 829 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 2: That wasn't a rule. A couple of weeks ago, that 830 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,880 Speaker 2: was brand new thrown into this situation when he realized 831 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 2: they'd have to make up so many games due to 832 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 2: COVID outbreaks on the Marlins and the Cardinals, it may 833 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 2: changes to the roster. I mean you need to give 834 00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,759 Speaker 2: him credit. He helped the Marlins in a little way 835 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 2: with this one, where the rule was supposed to be 836 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 2: that by the middle of the season, rosters would go 837 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,719 Speaker 2: down to twenty six guys on an active roster go 838 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 2: down from thirty twenty eight to twenty six, and Manfred said, 839 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 2: hold up, hold up. You know we're missing so many 840 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 2: players as it is. We're putting guys in positions where 841 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 2: they might not be ready to succeed. We need to 842 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 2: create extra space on these rosters, extra space on the 843 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,759 Speaker 2: taxi squads too. So they made it so that the 844 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 2: rest of the season moving forward, twenty eight spots on 845 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 2: the roster instead of going down, and they have a 846 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 2: couple extra spots on the taxi squad two. I mean 847 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,560 Speaker 2: that gets players paid a little bit extra than they 848 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,080 Speaker 2: would have been paid otherwise. It wasn't be a position 849 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 2: where if something goes wrong all of a sudden, they 850 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,399 Speaker 2: step into a bigger role than they thought. They would 851 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 2: have on the team, So that was kind of a 852 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:49,400 Speaker 2: concession from him under these circumstances. In terms of the umpiring, 853 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,799 Speaker 2: what I think has to be pointed out is that 854 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 2: the umpires are in the same position as the players 855 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,799 Speaker 2: they're put in. Being put in this situation where every 856 00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 2: series are in a different spot for the most part, 857 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 2: or travel in this country at this time is dangerous, 858 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 2: and we've seen it with these teams already. With the Marlins, 859 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 2: that was the issue, is with the travel and trying 860 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,839 Speaker 2: to create a tight bubble around your traveling party. They 861 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 2: weren't able to do it. There's so many factors in play, 862 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 2: and it's the same thing with these umpires, where it's 863 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 2: so hard to keep everybody safe when they're traveling. And 864 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,319 Speaker 2: that's why the league is taking steps to reduce those 865 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 2: demands as much as possible. All the Marlins and all 866 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,240 Speaker 2: the other teams on the Eastern time zone, they're playing 867 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 2: teams on the East Coast, they're avoiding those super long 868 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,919 Speaker 2: flights in order to prevent contact with the outside world 869 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,919 Speaker 2: as much as possible. And so with these umpires, they're 870 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 2: in these same bubbles as well, these same regions as well. 871 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 2: You got these umpires that will spend I believe, their 872 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 2: entire season in the East, or in the Central or 873 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,879 Speaker 2: in the West. You have your own region that you're 874 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,840 Speaker 2: sticking to for this entire season in order to limit 875 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,359 Speaker 2: the risk as much as possible, and so I just 876 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 2: think that was going to be inevitable no matter what is. 877 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 2: You have these umpires that are in following around the 878 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 2: teams themselves for a little while because they just there's 879 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 2: no other safe alternative. You can't send them all around 880 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,839 Speaker 2: the league as you normally would during a typical year 881 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 2: because of all the risk involved with that. I think 882 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,799 Speaker 2: it's frustrating, and in this case it was. It was 883 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,960 Speaker 2: just beyond is indefensible, the kind of calls that they 884 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,440 Speaker 2: were making, not just one guy, but seemingly every single night, 885 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 2: whoever was behind the plate. But I think that the 886 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,719 Speaker 2: logistics have a lot to do with that. I mean, 887 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 2: at this point, they're trying to put safety as their 888 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 2: top priority. We know that's not true. You know, you 889 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 2: were just saying here on the pod a couple of 890 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 2: weeks ago that it would make the responsible decision just 891 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 2: to shut everything down because of the state of the 892 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 2: country is in and where this virus is still so prevalent. 893 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 2: But I give them a little bit of credit for 894 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,760 Speaker 2: looking out for the health of the umpires by preventing 895 00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 2: them from making unnecessary steps and travel across the country. 896 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 2: So that's that's kind of my stance on it. I 897 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,799 Speaker 2: think that's how it happened. How they got stuck with 898 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,080 Speaker 2: the Marlins for consecutive series. Is it just has to 899 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,239 Speaker 2: do with, you know, watching out for them and not 900 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 2: putting them in dangerous situations. Well, we gotta finally look 901 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 2: ahead a little bit more to the Bravest series. A 902 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,280 Speaker 2: couple of specifics about this series coming up. You're gonna 903 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,000 Speaker 2: be there.

He watches watches every single game, every 976 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,719 Speaker 2: single moment of the game while he's been away. He's 977 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 2: he's as much a fan of organization as he is 978 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 2: an employee. He's he's such a passion for the guest. 979 00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:31,400 Speaker 1: If you will, okay, So with that being said, mister Sussman, 980 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:36,719 Speaker 1: what do you think about catcher Travis Darna or Francisco 981 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:37,480 Speaker 1: Sarah Velly. 982 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:43,480 Speaker 2: That's tough because darnauld Come on, man. 983 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: If you don't say Sarah Velly I'm gonna cut you off, 984 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:46,920 Speaker 1: and we in this whole segment. 985 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:52,680 Speaker 2: It's a great things about Velly had the similar peer pressure. 986 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,359 Speaker 2: He took a big step forward in his career as 987 00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,560 Speaker 2: well as last year, mostly with the Tampa Bay Rays. 988 00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,840 Speaker 2: All of a sudden, he tapped into this power that 989 00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 2: he had. He was a really highly regarded prospect like 990 00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 2: five six years ago, and he couldn't figure it out 991 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 2: with the Mats. He kept getting hurt. When he's healthy, 992 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,440 Speaker 2: he's a great all round player. But what we've seen 993 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:15,399 Speaker 2: this year from Survelli, if we're taking a guy right now, 994 00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,839 Speaker 2: especially in this series, I mean, Savelli is locked in. 995 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,759 Speaker 2: He's the best version of himself. He's in a good 996 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 2: place mentally and spiritually. So that'd be a very close call. 997 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,480 Speaker 2: But I'm going with Servelli. 998 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman or Jesus Aguilar. 999 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:36,480 Speaker 2: Hesus is legit. You know what he's doing this year. 1000 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,640 Speaker 2: We got a good article on Fisstripes about what he 1001 00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 2: has bounced back from the twenty nineteen season. He is 1002 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,720 Speaker 2: back in the all star form. He's hitting the ball hard, 1003 00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,440 Speaker 2: he's loving life. He's a great part of that clubhouse. 1004 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 2: He's no Freddy Freeman Freddy Freeman is the gold standard 1005 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 2: at first base. He has been year in, year out. 1006 00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 2: He was one of the only guys outside of the 1007 00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:03,359 Speaker 2: Marlins who he went through COVID during summer camp, and 1008 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,960 Speaker 2: he got it rough and somehow though, he battled back 1009 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,919 Speaker 2: from it and he's back in his usual form. He's 1010 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,400 Speaker 2: a Marlins killer. He's one of the most productive guys 1011 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,560 Speaker 2: all time against the Marlins. He loves sitting at Marlins Park. 1012 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,960 Speaker 2: He's dangerous. He's dangerous. You gotta go with Freddy. 1013 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:24,520 Speaker 1: Freeman, Don Maddinglee or Jack McKeon. 1014 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,759 Speaker 2: Choosing between two guys on the same team. I guess 1015 00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,160 Speaker 2: you thought, because madden Lye and Sticker, that's no context, right, 1016 00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,439 Speaker 2: So it's not even worth bringing that one up. 1017 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,200 Speaker 1: So you're saying you're gonna leave Jack hanging with a 1018 00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 1: cigar in his hand. 1019 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,120 Speaker 2: No, I just say that. I thought, if we're gonna 1020 00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,800 Speaker 2: not even bring Sticker into the conversation, because you know, 1021 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,800 Speaker 2: you're not even worried about. 1022 00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 1: I'm not yo, I'm not sticking up a stick there was. 1023 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:56,360 Speaker 1: He was sticking out for freaking Ronald o'cuna, mister prima donna, 1024 00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,759 Speaker 1: who thinks everybody's trying to hit him. Marlon's macho man 1025 00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:03,879 Speaker 1: said last episode, jose Aero Renyon got over it ain't 1026 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,400 Speaker 1: nobody trying to hit Ronal o'coonya no more. Get over yourself, 1027 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:12,480 Speaker 1: your prima donna. Who you got, Jack mcken don, Madden Lee, 1028 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,720 Speaker 1: I know you don't have that stinker. 1029 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,399 Speaker 2: Well madenly what he's doing this year, it's gonna look 1030 00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 2: a lot like what could potentially look like when McKeon 1031 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,160 Speaker 2: had in two thousand and three, coming back from a 1032 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,399 Speaker 2: situation where you never thought they'd come back. Nobody thought 1033 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,759 Speaker 2: they would stabilize after losing so many players during that outbreak. 1034 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:33,799 Speaker 2: But it's a long way to go for him to 1035 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 2: finish off this crazy ride. McKeon's already been there and 1036 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 2: he's done that, and he's even more so than Madden Lee. 1037 00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,560 Speaker 2: McKean has that identity, He knows exactly who he is, 1038 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,680 Speaker 2: and he gets that buy in from his players. It's 1039 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,759 Speaker 2: great to see him still in baseball. He's not with 1040 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:53,520 Speaker 2: the Marlins organization right now. That's been a really regrettable 1041 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,480 Speaker 2: situation that they aren't able to have him involved on 1042 00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 2: this crazy ride as an advisor. He's with the Nationals 1043 00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 2: and stuff. 1044 00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,840 Speaker 1: But last thing they ever did out in Washington is 1045 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:05,200 Speaker 1: bringing Jack mckinn. 1046 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 2: He was their good luck charm in twenty nineteen. 1047 00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:13,359 Speaker 1: You know he was, and Dan Jennings and Jennings Dan 1048 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 1: Jennings tent into the freaking assistant jam didn't he. 1049 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:21,200 Speaker 2: That's right? So I mean McKean is, he's the best, 1050 00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:24,479 Speaker 2: even though maddenly he's now number one on that list 1051 00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:28,640 Speaker 2: all time managerial wins leader in Marlin's history. Donny has 1052 00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,239 Speaker 2: that honor, but he's not. He's not on the same 1053 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,160 Speaker 2: level yet until he somehow brings these guys to the 1054 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,560 Speaker 2: promised lands. McKean was the guy that got done. 1055 00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,680 Speaker 1: Who you smoking a cigar with? First, mckenn or maddingly. 1056 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 2: Oh, I love both of them. I think both of 1057 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,560 Speaker 2: them are a great company to have. I can't choose 1058 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,680 Speaker 2: this or that when it comes to that, because. 1059 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,280 Speaker 1: Come on, man, you gotta say Jack McKinnon. They'll fucking 1060 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:54,920 Speaker 1: busty eyes. He's old school. 1061 00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:59,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, mckennon's got stories for days for he's got stories 1062 00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,879 Speaker 2: for a lifetime to fill you with and to hang 1063 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 2: out with. But maddingly he's He's as good guys you 1064 00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,359 Speaker 2: could ever want to spend time with he is. He 1065 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,360 Speaker 2: relates to every single person, finds out the best in you. 1066 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,839 Speaker 2: And he's got some great stories as well. You know, 1067 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,040 Speaker 2: he's been through, he spent I mean, he's getting up there. 1068 00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:20,759 Speaker 2: He's been in baseball now for like four decades, ever 1069 00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:22,560 Speaker 2: since he answered it as a player. He's got something. 1070 00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,240 Speaker 2: He's been through sometimes and a lot of good times 1071 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,120 Speaker 2: when he was with the Yankees and the Dodgers and 1072 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,040 Speaker 2: now some good times right now. Yeah. Well, I mean 1073 00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:32,960 Speaker 2: I can't say enough for the kind of respect that 1074 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,920 Speaker 2: I have for Mattingly and that I think everybody has 1075 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:36,480 Speaker 2: for Mattingly. 1076 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:41,000 Speaker 1: All right, man, final question for you, are you going 1077 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:46,359 Speaker 1: the original men in Teal? Are you rocking out? The 1078 00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,960 Speaker 1: Miami Blue. 1079 00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,719 Speaker 2: People gotta be honest with themselves. I mean, you know 1080 00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:56,319 Speaker 2: what they're building right now is exciting, but it's Teal 1081 00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,640 Speaker 2: is unbeatable. It was he can't do any better than 1082 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,319 Speaker 2: what they came up with back in the day. And 1083 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:04,799 Speaker 2: as much as much as they can bring that back 1084 00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,919 Speaker 2: into the folds as possible and throwback situations, I mean, 1085 00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,600 Speaker 2: the fans would appreciate that. It was. It was the 1086 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,520 Speaker 2: perfect identity for the organization to have at that time 1087 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,279 Speaker 2: and It still holds strue for how original it was 1088 00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:22,279 Speaker 2: and how distinct that Teal was. Teal is undefeated in 1089 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,279 Speaker 2: this situation. Gotta go with that. 1090 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:29,560 Speaker 1: Well, guys, here you have it.
