1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Discount Fauchet and you're watching Fish on first.

2
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: Fish and Filtered episode, the Bold Predictions episode. I'm very

3
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: excited to do this one. You're with Isaac azooit. We

4
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: have aj Ramos, Eli Susman, and I'm your host, Kevin Barrall. Isaac,

5
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: We're coming off a very cool WBC game and there's

6
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 2: a lot to talk about with the WBC. But how

7
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: are you feeling about your Bold Predictions. I know it's

8
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: been a busy couple of weeks, so I don't know

9
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: how much time you've had to prepare for this, but

10
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: this is this is a big show for us every year.

11
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm looking forward to this episode.

12
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: Aside from the Call of Contest, I think this is

13
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: one of the most This is one of my personal

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: favorite things that we do on this platform, and I'm

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: looking forward to talking some WBC with you guys as well.

16
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 4: Ah, how are you feeling about Team Mexico going down?

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 4: Unfortunately in the in the WBC.

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,639
Speaker 5: I mean they ran into a bullet train with with Italy.

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 5: The way they're playing right now, man, that's that was crazy.

20
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 5: Uh even how they beat uh the US that that

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 5: was wild.

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 6: And I have a I have a theory on that.

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 5: I think I want to say that Mark Durosa said

24
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 5: what he said about, you know, punching their ticket because

25
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 5: he thought there was no way that Italy was going

26
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 5: to score runs on them and that they wouldn't put

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 5: up a lot of runs. So they thought they punched

28
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 5: their ticket thinking they kind of brushed off this team.

29
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 5: And baseball every time has a way to humble your

30
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 5: ass where it's like, oh, you think you're good, you

31
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 5: think this bam, it humbles you. Guys, you know, stayed

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 5: out late or whatever, which is a normal thing. I

33
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 5: talked about it last episode, where where you know I'd

34
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 5: go out or whatever. But I think they just overlooked

35
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 5: that team and and all of a sudden they got

36
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 5: beat and then Mexico going down last night. It's just

37
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 5: the all the momentums on Italy side and in baseball

38
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 5: and it and all sports. Really, when you have momentum

39
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 5: on your side, it didn't really matter who's on the roster,

40
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 5: it's you just build off that momentum. And they were

41
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 5: able to take out Mexico last night. It was It

42
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 5: was a good game, it was fun and I wonder

43
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 5: what time the passquatch went a bit because he had

44
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 5: three homers and after every homer they take the shot

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 5: of espresso, so he might have been out till like

46
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 5: five in the morning.

47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: I mean, and something I want to get everyone's opinion

48
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: on just obviously how big of a story this this

49
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: mess up was. You know, Mark Rosa goes on m

50
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: WIB network and says verbatim that they have punched their

51
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: ticket to the quarter finals. Is nobody on the coaching staff,

52
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: none in the communications department, no like front office guy

53
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: for that USA team calling and saying, hey, this is inaccurate.

54
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: You should know every single little rule that there is

55
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: for this tournament before you enter it. And no one

56
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: corrected him. I just find that hard to believe. And

57
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: they manage that game thinking that they were in advanced

58
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: Clayon Kershaw was warming up with the bases loaded, where

59
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: runs were a premium. You had Paul Goldschman starting over.

60
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper against a They definitely play that game thinking

61
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: they advanced, and then they got to call him the

62
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: seventh inning saying, hey, by the way, we're not in yet,

63
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: which was a strange thing.

64
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 7: Though that z Ro in particular was the one in

65
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 7: the middle of this, because this is he's a professional broadcaster.

66
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 7: He's on air five days a week for like the

67
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 7: last handful of years he's and he's great at it.

68
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 7: So he knows like how much things, how much of

69
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 7: a firestorm you could create if you're sloppy with your

70
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 7: words on CV you just so the fact that you

71
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 7: can actually not be fully prepared for something like that,

72
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 7: and in this case, as somebody that were just used

73
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 7: to it, it's just really surprising coming from him to

74
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 7: be in this position. I mean, that's kind of a

75
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 7: big aspect of him getting this job is that he

76
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 7: kind of is somebody that's always so good at presenting things,

77
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 7: explaining things, and getting people to trust him overall, And

78
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 7: like we'll have to see anything short of actually coming

79
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 7: back and somehow when in this tournament, it's hard to

80
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 7: it's gonna be hard to get past this in terms

81
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 7: of sticking around for the next tournament in the same position.

82
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: And Isaac and I were talking about this yesterday, where

83
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: if they win the whole thing, we will find out

84
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: what actually happened, because at that point, like who cares,

85
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: you know, they won the whole thing, that's it. They

86
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: got the job done. But if they lose, they lose

87
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: to Canada or at some point in this tournament, We're

88
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: never going to find out what happened. And then I'm curious,

89
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: do you guys think the Rosa should be back as

90
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: manager if they lose in this tournament? Because he's did

91
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: it last time, he's doing it again and they lost

92
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 2: in the finals the first time, and it's been a

93
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: big world. It's been craziness with this whole DeRosa thing.

94
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: Should he be back as manager for the United States

95
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: in the next Classic?

96
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 6: Yeah?

97
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 5: I agree with you guys that if they win it,

98
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 5: more will come out about it. They don't, they'll keep

99
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 5: it within. I was just surprised by his interviews, obviously,

100
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 5: but how he was talking about some guys were dragging

101
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 5: coming in the next day. That's not really something you

102
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 5: say to the media because you open up yourself to

103
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 5: a lot of criticism on what were you guys doing?

104
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 5: Why aren't you guys And it's it's silly thing because

105
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 5: but that's what fans do. Why aren't you guys watching film?

106
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 5: Why aren't you guys preparing for the next day? Well,

107
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 5: because you have to disassociate for a little bit. But

108
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: when you tell everybody what exactly you did the night before,

109
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 5: and you you say, guys are dragging coming in, you're

110
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 5: showing that one you may not have known that you

111
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 5: didn't punch your ticket, and two you're taking this game lightly,

112
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 5: you know. And so I think those two things you

113
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 5: just open yourself up to criticism. But as far as

114
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 5: him being manager, if he win, if they win, which

115
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 5: I feel like after this controversy, that now they have

116
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 5: more of a chip on their shoulder and a fire

117
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 5: in their belly to win this because they messed that up.

118
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 5: So they were almost gone and it's just like every

119
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 5: near death experience, it makes you want to live even more.

120
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 5: So their WBC life almost came to an end, and

121
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 5: now they get a second chance. To me, if I'm

122
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 5: in that locker room, and I can imagine a lot

123
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 5: of guys feel this way, you're like, all right, this

124
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 5: go time. We are not gonna miss up. We're gonna

125
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 5: win this. So if they win this, I'm okay with

126
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 5: him coming back as a manager. If they don't, you know,

127
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 5: have another manager who has one World Series before and

128
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 5: managed before, but have dro there in some capacity because

129
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 5: the vibe he brings togetherness with that locker room, the

130
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 5: cohesiveness well, that's what he brought as far as a

131
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 5: managing style and stuff like that. Maybe that lacks from

132
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 5: lack of experience. But if they win it, I think

133
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 5: he has a chance to come back. If they don't,

134
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 5: I think this is his last year for sure.

135
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and let me say that the US didn't necessarily

136
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: look great during pool play either. Even before the Italy game,

137
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: they did not look fantastic against Mexico Brazil. I'm not

138
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: even gonna, you know, count that, but they honestly could

139
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: have used they really could have used this light up

140
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: their ass to sort of get them going, because they

141
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: did not really look as overpowering as they should have.

142
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you look at at teams like you know,

143
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: Italy with Marcy in there, like just kind of talking

144
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: like trips over talking about some of these marlins. Otto

145
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: Lopez has looked awesome, Owen Casey has looked awesome. I mean,

146
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: Jacob Marcy would hit to get the USA in the

147
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: into the quarterfinals. So it's a lot of Marlins are performing,

148
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: to say the least. But last thing I wanted to

149
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: talk about with the WBC Isaac we were there yesterday

150
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: at Dominican Republic versus Venezuela. That is one of the craziest,

151
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: maybe the craziest atmosphere I have ever been in.

152
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 4: That was nuts. I there was. I walked out of

153
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 4: the press box and my.

154
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: Ears were ringing of how crazy it was after home

155
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: runs by Soto, Vladdie Tatis and Katel Marte And just

156
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: to say, I think this Dominican Republican could go all

157
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: the way.

158
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 4: That that that lineup is lethal.

159
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: It is lethal. Yeah it you just had.

160
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: That's a product of two of the most passionate fan

161
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: bases in the entire planet in one under one roof,

162
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: and it was just a phenomenal experience. And I can say,

163
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, I've covered a playoff game and in Citizens

164
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: Bank Park, and that was one of the loudest vironments

165
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: I've ever been in. This top that by a wide margin.

166
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: I must say. Just the firepower you have on the

167
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: field and just, oh my goodness, the pop when Ban

168
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: Soto hit the home run in the first inning was

169
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: something that I'd never witnessed before, experienced before. And every

170
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: single inning felt like the ninth inning. It was just

171
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: a surreal experience. And what I'm gonna say is a

172
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: little bit dorky, but you know, there wasn't just firepower

173
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: on the field, just a star power in the press

174
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: box as well, being you know, to your right you

175
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: have Sarah Layan's to your left you have Alton Gonzalez.

176
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: It was really cool to be sharing the press box

177
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: with some of the best in the business and a

178
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: hell of an experience. Unfortunately, we'll be coming the same

179
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: event up until the seventeen.

180
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I.

181
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I I didn't get to watch that game because

182
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 5: I didn't have to be.

183
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 6: Don't get me started, So I didn't. I didn't get

184
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 6: to watch the game. I watched some of the clips

185
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 6: obviously of the Homer.

186
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 5: Just when you watch the Dominican team, there is so

187
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 5: much excitement and and it just they wear their emotions

188
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 5: on their sleeves and it's just it's entertaining. Right when

189
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 5: you watch the US, it's almost like watching the Yankees

190
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 5: as far as like they're buttoned up.

191
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 6: They gotta be you know, uh uh politically correct or

192
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 6: whatever it is.

193
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 5: On the field, you know what I mean. And Dominican

194
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 5: is like they're out there having the time of their lives.

195
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 6: Jump.

196
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 5: It's like watching little kids and grow men's body, you

197
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 5: know what I mean. So it's a very fun, uh

198
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 5: entertaining baseball game to watch. And then just the power

199
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 5: that they have. Man that lineup, to me, that's the

200
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 5: most dangerous lineup. They got guys that not only can

201
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 5: put the ball out of the out of the ballpark,

202
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 5: but they they know their zone and they take their

203
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 5: walks as well. They're dangerous. They have high, high barrel rates.

204
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 5: It's it's they're a dangerous lineup. So I like them.

205
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 5: I think that they probably have they have a good

206
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 5: shot of winning the the WBC Championship. So but and

207
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 5: it's fun to watch them as well. I saw Sandy,

208
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 5: I saw all. I saw a few pitches, and it

209
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 5: was the ones that he gave up pits on and

210
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 5: it seemed like.

211
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 6: All of the hits that he gave up were just balls.

212
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 5: Down the middle, which has been his his uh you know,

213
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 5: Achiwis Hill even last year, was his command. It seemed

214
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 5: like when he when he stays in the middle of

215
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 5: the plate, Uh, they they they square him up. And

216
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 5: I want to get your guys perspective, because again I

217
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 5: didn't get to see it. What did you see out

218
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 5: of Sandy last night?

219
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

220
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: He was he was missing location a good amount, especially

221
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: in that third inning. It seemed like every single time

222
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: he needed a shutdown inning after his team gave him

223
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: some runs, he just couldn't.

224
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 3: He just couldn't do it.

225
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: In the first inning he had trouble with Acuna, and

226
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: the third inning again with Acuna, and you know, he

227
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: starts sealing bases and then he gave him back to

228
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: back doubles to a Rise Contreras. He was just missing it.

229
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: So he wasn't missing as many bats, and when he

230
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: got he really struck out with Elvador Perez where he

231
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: looked Lethley against. He relied on a double play in

232
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: the second inning to get out of some more trouble.

233
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: So he just had traffic in every single inning. And

234
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: what what worries me, It's good for the Dominican, but

235
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: Orriy is me as someone that covers the Marlins, is

236
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: that he is. The expectation is that if the Dominican

237
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: continues to go on further in this tournament, he is

238
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: going to be available, whether it's out of the bullpen

239
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: or as a starting pitcher. So yeah, I remember it's

240
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: also spring training. He did use his new sweeper a

241
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: good amount as well, but the stuff was there. The

242
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: velocity was there. He's sitting ninety seven ninety eight like usual,

243
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: so that was good to see, but the command is

244
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: a little.

245
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: Bit behind as of right now from what I saw.

246
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and all three of his strikeouts were swinging strikeouts.

247
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: Just for context. Sandy ended up going three innings, five hits,

248
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 2: three runs, all earned two waks, three strikeouts through forty

249
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 2: four pitches. So yeah, he looked fine. I mean it

250
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: was really that third inning where things kind of went

251
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: a little bit sideways. Second ending, he looked really good.

252
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: That was probably his best inning work. Vila was there again.

253
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 2: All three of his strikeouts were swinging strikeouts. That sweeper

254
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: that easer mentioned, I think he threw it six or

255
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 2: seven times and he got I think generator three whifts

256
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: on it. Didn't get any strike outs on that pitch though,

257
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 2: But yeah, quarterfinals are set. It'll be Canada versus the

258
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 2: United States, Italy versus Puerto Rico and Houston, and then

259
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: here on Friday it'll be Korea versus the Dominican Republican.

260
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: You are one Pool D and then the loser, which

261
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: was Venezuela runner up of Pool D, has to play

262
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 2: Japan in the quarterfinals on Saturday at ninety pm it'll

263
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 2: be Ranger Suarez versus Yoshinoba Yamamoto, so that should be

264
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: a fun matchup. But Eli, anything else before we move

265
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 2: on to it to Bold Predictions?

266
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 5: Oh, I got I got one more question before? Are

267
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 5: we saying Jacob Marci the wrong way? Because on TV

268
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 5: they say Marcie.

269
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: Yeah that last time it is Marci? But you know

270
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: who's gonna say that that.

271
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 4: He's never complained about it.

272
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure I think it's in different I'm

273
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: not sure that's a good question.

274
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 7: Well, to get some clarity. There are guys like that

275
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 7: that you press them on it, like how do you

276
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 7: want your name pronounced? And they refuse to like give

277
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 7: a prep They just want to go with the flow.

278
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 7: So I hope he gives us some direction one way

279
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 7: or the other because we're gonna be saying his name

280
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 7: a lot over the next five, six, seven years, So

281
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 7: I want to get it right.

282
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, alright, let's do it. Bold Predictions. Eli, I'll let you,

283
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 4: I'll let you take.

284
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: It away and walks through it again because age is

285
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 2: new to this, Isaac and our vets at this point.

286
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 2: So again, uh, these could be either really good or

287
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 2: really bad. And I think last year we're all really bad.

288
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 4: So just when we look at that, so I know

289
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 4: there was a year with pressure, Yeah exactly.

290
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 2: So there was a very low bar set for us

291
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: at this point, but two years ago it was pretty good.

292
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: So Eli, I'll let you take it away.

293
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 7: Nothing too fancy here, but we're going to strike that

294
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 7: balance between making these kind of predictions that seem unlikely

295
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,119
Speaker 7: on the surface for one way or the other. I mean, historically,

296
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 7: I know that there's a temptation to trend positive here

297
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 7: guys that we think may overachieve the baseline expectation. You

298
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 7: could go a couple of different ways. You could go

299
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 7: just the unusual way, something unusual that might have happened

300
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,599
Speaker 7: this year that doesn't usually happen at all. But we

301
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 7: want to strike that balance where I want to explain

302
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 7: a little bit behind these predictions that we come up with,

303
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 7: like a reason why we feel passionate about this in

304
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 7: one direction. And I just think recording this as a

305
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 7: conversation gives us an opportunity to give real time feedback

306
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 7: on this. And one thing that I've enjoyed doing in

307
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 7: the past is pushing you guys in a couple of

308
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 7: instances we're not bold enough and kind of negotiate in

309
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 7: real time in terms of making sure these are actually

310
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 7: they check that box and being bold, but also yeah,

311
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 7: having some some evidence behind it, having some meat behind

312
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 7: it that points you in this direction, just to because

313
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 7: we're you know, we're trying to educate the people out

314
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 7: there as well. Of course of this process kind of

315
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 7: pull on some pull some little details about these players

316
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 7: or the team itself that maybe they didn't realize that

317
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 7: could come into play over the course of the season.

318
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 7: I think, I mean, it's all subjective, but I think

319
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 7: it works best when we start with the really tame,

320
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 7: the relatively tame ones on, you know, the really conservative

321
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 7: ones the beginning, and then work our way up towards

322
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 7: what do you think is the boldest or the least

323
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 7: likely one overall, and then you know, we'll put it

324
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 7: down to the people. As usual, I engage our our

325
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 7: audience on this. I put it out a tweet asking

326
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 7: for their predictions, and so in the court of my eye,

327
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 7: I'm like crackling up seeing some of their bold predictions.

328
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 7: We'll incorporate those onto the side for people to see

329
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 7: them as well. But yeah, we'll just go rounds the

330
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 7: group here between you three, I think we'll do Kevin,

331
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 7: then Isaac and AJ, Kevin then Isaac and AJ, just

332
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 7: one at a time, and yeah, just break these down

333
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 7: and have some fun in the process.

334
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: Alrighty, you said Tame, So I believe in this guy

335
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: a lot. We were just talking about him. I think

336
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: Jacob Marshia will have a twenty twenty season. I think

337
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: if we were on to start Tame, that's fair.

338
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 3: Uh he.

339
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 4: I think he has the power forward, He's clearly got

340
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 4: to speed.

341
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: He got close to the twenty stolen bases last year,

342
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: so I think this is the right guy to do it.

343
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: I think you have some other options on the worlds

344
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: and maybe could do it. But I think I think Marcy.

345
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: Marcy's gonna have a twenty twenty season.

346
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: I like it.

347
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 4: I like it a lot.

348
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, just because on the home run set, I think

349
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 7: that's the obviously the Boulder Morning, he's still He's still

350
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 7: sixty one bases last year between Majors and the miners.

351
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 7: So if anything, I feel like the stolen based aspect

352
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 7: doesn't really add much at all to this Kevin because

353
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 7: she has to miss a lot of.

354
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 4: Times he said start team, so I start tam.

355
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 7: I'd say if it was twenty forty, because I.

356
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 3: Wouldn't say twenty forty as well. Like, yeah, but I

357
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: like it a little. I mean something ahead, guys, not

358
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 3: bold enough, but I'll take it all right.

359
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: Well, I'll give you guys bold and it's gonna be

360
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: surprising coming from me, just given the way I feel

361
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: about this player.

362
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 3: Max Meyer is gonna proves all wrong.

363
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna win fifteen games as a starting pitcher in

364
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, and he's gonna put to bed all

365
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: all the concerns.

366
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 3: That he is a Really I think he's gonna have

367
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 3: his career year.

368
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna remain healthy, and if that does happen, he's

369
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: gonna win fifteen games in twenty twenty.

370
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 3: Six, where wins are not easy to get these days.

371
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: You know, starting pitchers do not go as deep. But

372
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be that outlier in twenty twenty six.

373
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 6: What do you guys think of that? When you guys?

374
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 6: Is that bold enough for you guys?

375
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: I didn't think wins would be something we would use

376
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: as a as a prediction, but yeah, it's pretty.

377
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 4: Bold because that I would mean, he's pitching very well.

378
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 7: So yeah, I think I don't think even Sandy has

379
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 7: won fifteen games in the season in his career. It's

380
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 7: hard to get wins these days.

381
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, because they take him out so early too.

382
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, and just sorry, Max. This is the second straight

383
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 7: year where he has really showed out in spring seven

384
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 7: scoreless endings with twelve ks, and yeah, he's been awesome

385
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 7: this spring, but it translated a little bit to the

386
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 7: start of the season last year. Remember, and then he

387
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 7: had this hip thing going on, try to pitch through

388
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 7: it didn't work out. So health as usual. Health is

389
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 7: going to be pretty big factor with any pitcher.

390
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 6: Okay, I'll go with mine.

391
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 5: So this one isn't crazy bold Well, I don't think

392
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 5: it is, because I think he can do it. I'm

393
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 5: gonna say, Kyle Sowers hits thirty plus homers. Last year

394
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 5: he hit twenty five. I think this is doable for him.

395
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 5: He's plate discipline is great or is getting better. I

396
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 5: feel like he's starting to His mindset, for me is

397
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 5: the thing that sets him apart. His ability to adjust,

398
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 5: to understand that the league is going to adjust to

399
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 5: him and being able to one deal with the failures,

400
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 5: the way he handles the failures, and the.

401
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 6: Way he sees success as well.

402
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 5: For me, I feel like projects him to be able

403
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 5: to handle what it is to be a big leaguer

404
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 5: for a long time. So I'm gonna say he's gonna

405
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 5: hit thirty plus home runs. His barrel rate, his profile

406
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 5: is great pullside power. So yeah, thirty thirty four home

407
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 5: runs maybe a three plus plus war So add that

408
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 5: on to the uh, to the prediction.

409
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 1: He was well, he was well on his way to

410
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: do thirty this year if not for that injury.

411
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, bold enough, Okay, Okay, yeah.

412
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 4: That's bold enough. It's not everyday that a Marlins player

413
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 4: hits thirty homers.

414
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 5: Well, and you guys realize how hard it is to

415
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 5: hit thirty home runs? How hard is to hit twenty

416
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 5: home runs?

417
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 6: Man? So like that's that's pretty for me, that's bold.

418
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 5: But like, given his skill set and his makeup, I

419
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 5: feel like that's that's doable.

420
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, because some would say that he's due for regression

421
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: this year. You don't know how he's in performing against

422
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: right now. I would be very pleasantly surprised if he

423
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: does hit thirty.

424
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 7: So bold enough, Yeah, we'll say on that the regression

425
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 7: part is that the more the power more so than

426
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 7: the hitting. I think the power aspect is the one

427
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 7: that has more staying power because he goes to all

428
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 7: fields because as you said, how often he barrels the ball.

429
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 7: That's that's something that's pretty stable year to year. If

430
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 7: you're able to get your a swing off so often,

431
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 7: there's gonna be a lot of homers for it. My

432
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 7: question is gonna be how much as an overall hitter,

433
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 7: how much that sticks around because the strikeouts are still

434
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 7: there that there's still a lot of swing and miss.

435
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 7: So that's that's gonna be the aspect for me to watch.

436
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 7: But the power, I think directionally, I totally see where

437
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 7: you're going with that.

438
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 5: I think he knows the type of player he is.

439
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 5: He knows his job as the bang so he's gonna,

440
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 5: you know, focus on that. And yeah, so his lash

441
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 5: line's gonna look different than last year for sure, but

442
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 5: I think the homers are still gonna be. He's gonna

443
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 5: be product productive in that in that area.

00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 2: things up a little bit here. And I'm gonna go

463
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: with Xavier Edwards and I think I think he's gonna

464
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 2: win the National League batting title.

465
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 4: I think he's has it in him. It's easier. I

466
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 4: feel like it's easier to win that batting title. This year.

467
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: I think it was like the lowest batting average for

468
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: a batting title winning a very long time.

469
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 4: So I think he's gonna do it.

470
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

471
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: He's gonna be hitting up in the lineup almost every

472
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 2: single day. He's your lead off hitter, so he's got

473
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 2: an opportunity to do it. I think now starting the

474
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: season at second base and stuffitely gonna help him out.

475
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 2: Uh So yeah, I think, Uh, I think X is

476
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: gonna be your your National league batting title winner. It'll

477
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: be him and arrived and Marlon sister doing I think

478
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 2: Castillo as well.

479
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 3: Isn't that well? First of all, how can you forget

480
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 3: mister Marlin Hanley Ramirez?

481
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: Second of all, have we have we predicted this before?

482
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: An Xay Edwards batting title or the leader and hits

483
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: or who done something with X.

484
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 4: It's a new year, Isaac, come on.

485
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 3: I like it very very very good. Right.

486
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 7: It reminds people there was a portion late, not at

487
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 7: the end of last year, but like in August, August,

488
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 7: early September when he was shocked actually winning it.

489
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 4: It was him.

490
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 7: He was like top three at one point. Him and

491
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 7: then Arise was still up there at the moment. And

492
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 7: who when did winning a Trey trade turner and they

493
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 7: but they were there was a moment where he almost

494
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 7: after that slow start of the season, he gradually got

495
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 7: back up there and then faded late. I think that's fair,

496
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 7: that's that's certainly bold, and I think I could see it.

497
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, this one, you'd think, over the course of

498
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: his career would not be bold whatsoever. But the fact

499
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: that he's most likely going to start the year at

500
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: TRIPAA makes it bold enough for me. Joe mack is

501
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: going to be a Gold Glove finalist in twenty twenty six. Yeah,

502
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: I think you can see him up relatively early. And

503
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: what I thought about this, or how I came to this,

504
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: was that whether the Marlins are competitive late in the

505
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: season or not, you're going.

506
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 3: To see him taking over the catching position.

507
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: I think whether if they're in it, he's going to

508
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: be need to catch these guys and making sure that

509
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: the best man forward behind the plate, and if they're

510
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: out of it, they want to see what they got.

511
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: So I think that Joe Maxon have a lot of

512
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: opportunity to accumulate his defensive war and just show off

513
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: what he can do in every facet of the game.

514
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 3: And I think his offensive profile will.

515
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: Help that Gold Glove standard a little bit, you know

516
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: how it's a little bit of a sexy award.

517
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, Joe Mack will be a Google finalist. Not

518
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 3: sure if he'll win. Patrick Bailey still exists, but he'll

519
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 3: be funing.

520
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 6: I like that one.

521
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 3: I thank you.

522
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 6: That's a good one, man, Yeah, I like that. All right.

523
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 6: Moving on to the to my next one. This is

524
00:23:59,200 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 6: going to be a team.

525
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 5: I think that the Marlins are gonna finish. I'm gonna

526
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 5: up this top three in MLB and stolen bases. Okay,

527
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 5: last year they were seventh. Fresh they were seventh last year,

528
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 5: and right now in spring training they had their the

529
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 5: most in spring training. Right now, this is spring training.

530
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 5: But you have Edwards predicted anywhere from twenty five to thirty,

531
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 5: Marci predicted to thirty to thirty five. Owen Casey, you know,

532
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 5: can steal even Augustine Ramirez when he gets on base.

533
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 5: He had fifteen stolen bags last year. So I initially

534
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 5: was saying top five, but you guys are giving some

535
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 5: bolder ones, so I'm gonna say top three instills in

536
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 5: UH and also too. I think the reason that I

537
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 5: wanted that one as well is because they don't They're

538
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 5: not gonna bang like other teams, right, They're a lot

539
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 5: more contact and the way they got to score runs,

540
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 5: they got to manufacture it. So one of the ways

541
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 5: you manufacture runs is when you get on you steal bags.

542
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 5: Is base running, good defense and all that stuff. So

543
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 5: I feel like this is one that is achievable because

544
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 5: it has to be a part of their game if

545
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 5: they want to win, you know, a lot of games,

546
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 5: so it has to be a part of their strategy.

547
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 5: So I'm going Marlin's top three.

548
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 4: I like that one. I really like that one.

549
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 2: They they're honing in on every level to add some speed.

550
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: They want to steal bases. They made that very clear

551
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 2: that as you kind of know that they're not going

552
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 2: to be a big power team, but they're definitely gonna

553
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 2: be a team that's gonna steal some bases getting scoring position,

554
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 2: and I think it starts there, right, So yeah, I

555
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 2: really like that one.

556
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 4: So Eli like anything else in there.

557
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 7: Or he kind of alluded to it there. But at

558
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 7: all levels of the organization, they've been running their asses off.

559
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 7: Last year, especially it was Jacksonville, like ridiculous numbers. Well,

560
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 7: I think they almost broke the Minor League record for

561
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 7: steels in a season Beloit was something really similar to that.

562
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 7: They they think that you do your homework on pitchers,

563
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 7: it's more so about that about really doing your homework

564
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 7: on it is the kind of the patterns that tells

565
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 7: that they have and being able to steal in ways

566
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 7: that it's not even close, like being able to either

567
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 7: that's something with a pitcher or just with the pitch selection,

568
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 7: being able to run more often on off speed stuff

569
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 7: so that it's it's not even close. That's that's what

570
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 7: really stood stood out, like watching other levels of the organization,

571
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 7: is that it's not only about having the best athletes

572
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 7: on the field, but being the best prepared team so

573
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 7: that a lot of these steals are just uncontested at

574
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 7: the end.

575
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 4: Of it, all right, Kevin, Yeah, alright, here we go.

576
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 4: I just got to make sure one thing.

577
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, all.

578
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 4: Right, this guy has he's really impressed me so far

579
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 4: this spring. He's looked good.

580
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 2: I think we quickly spoke about this in the chat recently.

581
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 2: And I think Chris Paddick is going to be an

582
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 2: All Star for the Miami Marls.

583
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 4: So I gotta go bold.

584
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go bold. It was unlikely, but he's looked

585
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 2: good so far. He says he likes everything he's seen

586
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 2: here with the Marlins. Screw it, why not Chris Chris

587
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 2: Paddock all Star? Now that that would have made me

588
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 2: say multiple All Stars for the Marlins this year. I

589
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 2: think that's another one that I used last year. So

590
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: let's do it, Chris Paddock. Let's let's get into the

591
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 2: All Star game.

592
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 4: Baby.

593
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 3: I had a Chris Paddock related one on my sheet here.

594
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: But I and I thought about All Stars, but especially

595
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: for starting fishes in the National League, there is not

596
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: enough room for for certainly, we.

597
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 4: Also have to think about it.

598
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 2: There's a lot of guys that go in as replacements

599
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: because either they're not going to be slated at the pitch,

600
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 2: and there's enough of those where he could sneak on

601
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 2: there if if he's having a good year.

602
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, bold is an understatement.

603
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, I agree that's that was chocking. But he

604
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 7: has had a great spring, and he's a guy that's

605
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 7: really thoughtful about the game, and he certainly has all

606
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 7: the motivation he needs on a one year proven deal.

607
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 7: So that'll that'll come to the play.

608
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 4: Okay, Aery, Isaac, I've got this number three for you, Yeah, we're.

609
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 3: Doing five or four each five five? I okay.

610
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: So MLB Pipeline updates their top thirty lists for each team.

611
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: I believe in October as well. By the end of

612
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: this year wherever it is their first off season update,

613
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: Kevin de frang is gonna be the number one prospect

614
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: in the Marlin system and he will be a top

615
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: seventy five prospect in all of Major League Baseball. Just

616
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: the body of physicality and the potential for growth with

617
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: this young manager's ridiculous.

618
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 3: I saw a report that he was wearing one hundred

619
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 3: and two.

620
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: Is a little bit worrisome, but you know, just at

621
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: that age, has seventeen years old to be developed like

622
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: that already is just preposterous. So I think that he

623
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: is going to be the number one project in the system.

624
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: I initially had Dhylan Lewis. I think he's got a

625
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: little bit of stuff to work on offensively, but Kevin

626
00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: defrag is just a month.

627
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 3: So that's my bold predictions.

628
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: I don't think the first part. I don't think the

629
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: first part is very bold, because I do agree. I

630
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 2: think he'll it just gradually. He will end up being

631
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 2: the number one or number two guy. Just given how

632
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 2: many guys are going to graduate, right, So.

633
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 3: I was not going to graduate, so and bylan Lewis

634
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 3: will not graduate.

635
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: So him, yes, but like yeah, no, it's it's bold,

636
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 2: but it's not the boldest. But yes, the second part,

637
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 2: I agree, the second part is pretty bold.

638
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

639
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 7: Yeah. What I'll say on that is it's his workload

640
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 7: is still going to be pretty limited. Do you know

641
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 7: how many innings he threw last year? He threw thirty

642
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 7: innings all this year in last summer, So they're going

643
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 7: to be for a teenager. They're going to be very

644
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 7: conservative with the workload as well, which means that he's

645
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 7: really going to have to dominate when he's on the mounds,

646
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 7: even though you know, we see the pitch data and

647
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 7: everything about him, all the measurables even without him performing,

648
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 7: but in terms of really leaping over several guys with

649
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 7: a lot of prospect pedigree, that that's what makes this bold.

650
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 7: So I'm on board with you. I'm high on him

651
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 7: too and what he can become.

652
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 2: And on top of that, he's probably gonna pitch in

653
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: the FCL, not not in Jupiter so or in Bloway.

654
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 2: So it's it's a short season Bowl type league, and

655
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 2: he probably maybe unless he's really good and they bump

656
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: him up to Jupiter at the end of the year.

657
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 4: But I just I don't really see that happening.

658
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: And remember we know how Pipeline is with their draft picks,

659
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: like I will be the number one prospect most likely

660
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: for the next three years, no matter what his performance

661
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: is doing.

662
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 4: But yes, that's hey, what do you mean Peter never

663
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 4: made number one?

664
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 3: He was like, well, yeah, because he was the sixteenth.

665
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 4: Feels like top ten or something at one point, number

666
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 4: number one.

667
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 3: They put him pretty down pretty quickly. But all right, agent, My.

668
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 6: Next one is I guess it's a little bold, but

669
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 6: not not too bad.

670
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 2: Uh.

671
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 5: I'm predicting that Pete Fairbanks is gonna have twenty five

672
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 5: plus saves. I think it's bold because depending on where

673
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 5: the Marlins are, he could be flipped, you know, like

674
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 5: you know, at the at the deadline, so he may

675
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 5: not get.

676
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 6: All those saves with the Marlins.

677
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 5: But I feel like obviously his workload, his what is

678
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 5: back of his baseball card is like he's he's a

679
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 5: he's a great closer.

680
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 6: I love his interviews. They're they're entertaining.

681
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 5: It's a part of it that that I love as well,

682
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 5: and I feel like he's going to bring, like I

683
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 5: mentioned before, a lot of that veteran presence to some

684
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 5: of those guys in the pen as well. But I

685
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 5: think that Marmons are going to be playing in a

686
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 5: lot of close games, so it's gonna give a lot

687
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 5: of opportunity for save for save chances. And he's an

688
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 5: established closer, so it's not going to be that saved

689
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 5: by committee. So I think he's gonna get a fair

690
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 5: amount of opportunities, whereas before maybe it was hard to

691
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 5: get more saves because multiple people were doing it.

692
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 6: So yeah, I think anywhere from twenty five to thirty

693
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 6: let's say e er a around three ten something like that.

694
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 6: I feel like that's he's gonna have a solid year.

695
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: Yeah remember time, Yeah, in years previous week, I think

696
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: at last year we had I had fouchet security, like

697
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: having the most saves in the bullpen, but it's you know,

698
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: you had vendor closing games out and then you had

699
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: any lefty that was available closing games out of it.

700
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 3: You know, shore Burn, Harper, So.

701
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: In this case, you have a bona fide guy and

702
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: you know how you know, managers go these days, whatever

703
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: the meat of the order is up. Whenever the meat

704
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: of the order is up, whether it's in the eighth

705
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: or seventh or ninth, that's when Fairbanks will be used.

706
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 3: So yeah, for that reason, I think it's bold as well. Right, yeah, alrighty.

707
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 3: This will be my.

708
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: Fourth so ELI had one liked this last year with Sandy,

709
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna make it a little bit different. We

710
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: we expect this guy to get called up this year.

711
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 4: I don't think. My prediction is Thomas White will not

712
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 4: be called up in twenty twenty six. For the mine. Oh,

713
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 4: they have a lot of guys. They have a lot

714
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 4: of guys. They have gusto, they've got all these pitchers.

715
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: And they have smelling and if they really want to

716
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: hold on to another service here or whatever it is,

717
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 2: they you just won't call him up. They'll let him

718
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 2: develop for a full year and triple A. He's still

719
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 2: super young. You might as well give him another year.

720
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 4: Right.

721
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 2: I hope he gets called up, But my prediction, my

722
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: bold prediction, is Thomas White will not be a major

723
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 2: leaguer in twenty twenty six.

724
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 3: You know, I like that for many reasons. One, it's sexy.

725
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: Two it's like one of the few negative ones we'll

726
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: have on here. Very well done, mister Kevin.

727
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: I think that's a great one, man.

728
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 7: Maybe not totally negative. It's about a test and a

729
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 7: testament to all the other quality starting pitchers that they

730
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 7: do have.

731
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, injury, you know, he also a slow started already

732
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 3: because of the injury. And I think it's a negative one.

733
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So my fourth one we're gonna go with,

734
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: all right, So this one will also be sort of

735
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: a negative and.

736
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 3: A positive one. Christopher Morel's gonna lose his first base

737
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 3: job by mid May.

738
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: Davies and Pilo Santo is gonna crank twenty home runs

739
00:33:58,920 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six.

740
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 3: I just don't the guy hasn't hits in twenty twenty three.

741
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: I definitely support taking a flyer, a two million dollar

742
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: flyer on this player. You do that, But from what

743
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: I've seen in the spring, and from what I've seen

744
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: both at first base and at the plate, I don't

745
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: think he's gonna turn it around with Miami anyway. And

746
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: because of that, David del Sanders can be given a chance.

747
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: He has looked really, really good this spring, and he

748
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: was already reassigned to minor league camp for I'm sorry,

749
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: optioned to Triple A Jacksonville. I think you could see

750
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 1: him before June, and that should give him enough time

751
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: to crank twenty And.

752
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 4: I like the spring that he was having.

753
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 2: He was having a good spring, at least from the

754
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 2: looks that I got. It's very competitive at bats. You

755
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: would hope the power is still there. I mean, I'm

756
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: sure it is. You've just got to kind of find

757
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 2: a way to balance out a little bit of both

758
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 2: having the good.

759
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 3: Approach and having that power.

760
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 4: He didn't. I don't even think he had twenty homers

761
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 4: last year. So uh, yeah, no, I like that one.

762
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 4: I like that one.

763
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: I hope it works out from Moral because he seems

764
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 2: like a good dude and he's played fine at first

765
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: base so far.

766
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 4: But yeah, no, I mean Davison. It needs to be

767
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 4: noted again, Davison is.

768
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 2: The only true first basement on the forty mine usher.

769
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 2: So the things go sour, this is the guy they're

770
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 2: going to go to.

771
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 7: We're in the midst of the final week of the

772
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 7: World Baseball Classic, and then pretty soon after that it's

773
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 7: gonna be Opening Day. That's barely two weeks away from now.

774
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 7: The only place for the best deals on tickets is

775
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 7: seat geek, the number one rated ticketing app. It isn't

776
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 7: just baseball. There are concerts and many other sporting events.

777
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 7: Each ticket is rated on a scale of one to ten.

778
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 7: You look for the green dots, which indicate the best

779
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,120

793
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 6: My turn.

794
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 5: Yes, all right, all right, so I'm gonna go against

795
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 5: Kevin a little bit on this one. I'm gonna say

796
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 5: Thomas White gets called up after the All Star break,

797
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 5: and you could say it might be because of a

798
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 5: negative maybe Sandy gets traded. They called up White, and

799
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 5: I feel like when when Thomas White debuts, he's going

800
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 5: to dominate because people haven't seen him, people haven't seen guys.

801
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 6: Like him before. Uh you know.

802
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 5: I feel like he has that the They can't put

803
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 5: him on the trajet just yet. They can't do all

804
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 5: those different things because they don't have much data on him.

805
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 5: I feel like he's gonna throw around forty five to

806
00:36:55,080 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 5: fifty five innings, have a mid three era, and I

807
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 5: think he's going to strike out a decent amount of people,

808
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 5: probably ten per nine.

809
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 6: That's gonna be my bold prediction. I feel like.

810
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 5: He's ready and after coming off of injury like this,

811
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 5: it's gonna challenge you mentally. I'm a big believer in

812
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 5: I don't like calling up guys who haven't failed or

813
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 5: have gone through some sort of adversity in the minor leagues,

814
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 5: because every day you're challenging the big leagues, and when

815
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 5: you're going and when your first time you're challenged is

816
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 5: in the big leagues or your first time he fails

817
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 5: in the big leagues, it's hard to overcome that, and

818
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 5: it maybe puts a little bit of doubt in your mind.

819
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 5: But if you if you figured out how to get

820
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 5: through all your struggles in the minor leagues, it could

821
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 5: be injury, it could be bad play, or whatever it is,

822
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 5: that sets you up to be ready to experience what

823
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 5: the big leagues like.

824
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 4: So so, yeah, I.

825
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 5: Wrote down a few, and I would I wouldn't sure

826
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 5: if I was going to say that one, But when

827
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 5: Kevin said his, I was like, all right, let's let's

828
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 5: match up a little bit on that and see see

829
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 5: who's right at the end of the year.

830
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: I like it, just to be clear, Eli, if Thomas

831
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: White gets called up September, makes one start, goes five innings,

832
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: strikes out six, is that is that a successful agen.

833
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

834
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,280
Speaker 7: When you like, when you give that many like stats

835
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 7: to go along with it, it makes it hard to

836
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,720
Speaker 7: I think we can a five start minimum.

837
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 6: No, well, I said, I said, he said after the

838
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 6: All Star July to August. That's where I predict. So

839
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 6: I wouldn't count it. If he gets called up in September,

840
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 6: I would say, no, that wouldn't count.

841
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 3: I'd still give it to you. That's after the All Star, right,

842
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 3: I'll take it.

843
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: I'll take it anytime after after July, but that would

844
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: be pretty funny. He goes four inning, strikes out five,

845
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: and then it's done.

846
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,439
Speaker 4: Alrighty, I got two left on my board.

847
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 2: Three, but I'm not gonna use this one. Hmmm, which

848
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 2: one do you want to go with? They're both very bold,

849
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna go with Robbie Snelling. He will be

850
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 2: named the National League Rookie of the Year at the

851
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 2: end of the season. I think he's gonna get called

852
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 2: up early and he's gonna dominate, and unfortunately for the Marlins,

853
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 2: he's gonna get a year of service time with that,

854
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 2: similar to what happened with Paul Skins. But I feel

855
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 2: good about this one. I think Robbie Snelling is a stud.

856
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 2: I think he's really good. I think he's gonna be

857
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: a big piece for this team and for the Marlins,

858
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 2: especially this season. You got to see what you got

859
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: in Brax. You have to see what you got in

860
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 2: some of these other guys, which I understand why he

861
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 2: got reassigned or option to triple A. So uh yeah,

862
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 2: Robbie Snelling's gonna be the Nation League Rookie of the

863
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 2: Year by the end of the season.

864
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 3: I like it because it's bold.

865
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: I just it's extremely bold, not because of raw, not

866
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: because of Robbie, just because if if it's not gonna

867
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: be Connor Griffin, it's gonna be Nolan MacLean. If it's

868
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: not gonna be Nolan McLean, is gonna be jj Weatherhold.

869
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: There's just so much talent, young talent in the National League.

870
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: You know, even salth Stewart. I think Sales Stewart in

871
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is supposed to debut as well. Carson Benji's gonna

872
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: get playing time. There is just going to be so

873
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: much competition for that award in twenty twenty six that

874
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: I don't see an avenue for Robbie to win it.

875
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 3: But that's why this is the bold prediction show.

876
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 2: I was between him and Owen Casey. I was gonna

877
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 2: say Casey originally, and that may have been a little

878
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 2: bit better. But if we're talking bold, it has to

879
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 2: be Snelling.

880
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, Piking thinking either of them would be pretty cold because.

881
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 6: Of that pretty bold.

882
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it's not.

883
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 4: Well, you don't think he's gonna make.

884
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 7: In particular Connor Griffin. If you if you believe evaluators

885
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 7: out there This isn't just the number one prospect, but

886
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 7: this is maybe the best prospect of the last decade.

887
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 7: And like his tools are just off the charts, and

888
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 7: numbers that put up are going to be. Yeah, as

889
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 7: long as he hits a little bit, he's is going

890
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 7: to be really stab stuffing the stat sheet and he'll

891
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 7: be It's it's him alone is going to be difficult

892
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 7: to overtake unless yeah, unless bad things happen to some

893
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 7: of the favorites. It's but I like smelling too. I

894
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 7: think he's gonna perform well.

895
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 6: So you guys are thinking Connor Griffin is a lock

896
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 6: for that pretty much.

897
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: I I mean, I know Weatherhold is all but certain

898
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: to make the opening day roster for Saint Louis. I

899
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: was talking to some Saint Louis writers the other day.

900
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 4: Also, South Stewart's also in there as Isaac. So yeah,

901
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 4: it's gonna it's gonna be tough.

902
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what, just because hey, we have

903
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: the Internet, they were the favorite as of right now

904
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: to win the nationally Rookie of the Year as of

905
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: March is Connor Griffin at plus two fifty.

906
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 5: Man, I just listen, you know, all the projections and

907
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 5: on paper stuff like it's great, but what do you

908
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 5: do when you're actually in the big leagues and that

909
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 5: that's you know what I mean. Like, I've never been

910
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 5: a real prospect guy, even when they have I see tools.

911
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,479
Speaker 5: I came up with some guys that had extreme tools

912
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 5: that never made it.

913
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 6: To the big leagues, you know.

914
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 5: So for me, I have to see it, right, I

915
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 5: have to see them perform in the big leagues and

916
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 5: fail in the big leagues and then overcome that, you know.

917
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 6: So, uh, anything is possible. But yeah, it's there's a

918
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 6: lot of hype coming with with Connor Griffin for sure.

919
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, And what I like in his situation is that

920
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: the Pirates did this surprisingly well this offseason. They added

921
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: a little bit of link to that lineup to help

922
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: protect him a little bit there.

923
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 3: You know, it's not just gonna be him in an

924
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 3: empty lineup.

925
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: He's got Brian Reynolds friended low, He's got Marcel and

926
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: Ryan O'Hearn all around him.

927
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 3: So whenever you make you it's gonna be.

928
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be in a formidable ish lineup that he

929
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: probably didn't expect last year. Not good, but yeah, no prospects,

930
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: it's us. You have, you have no idea, what the

931
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: hell's going to happen? My final one will be not

932
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: a very sexy one. But he also looked pretty decent

933
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: in his limited spring outings. Dax Fulton is gonna make

934
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: ten major League Baseball appearances, whether it's out of the

935
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 1: bullpen or.

936
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 4: It's not bold?

937
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 6: What do you what?

938
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 4: He on point he's gonna get called up?

939
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 3: Then why was he not picked an the call up

940
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 3: contest at all?

941
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 4: Because we were very down on him at that point.

942
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 2: I think it's bold enough with major out, With major out,

943
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: I think he has a much better opportunity to get

944
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 2: called up. He's on the forty man. Yes, if you

945
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 2: would have said ten stars, that's that's that's bold, knye.

946
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 2: But appearances, he will appear.

947
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 7: I think he'll, Yeah, Isaac, it's a picture that's on

948
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 7: the forty man roster. Like almost anybody, any picture on

949
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 7: any forty man roster could get ten appearances throughout the year.

950
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay, he will accumulate at least two war.

951
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 4: Take ten starts.

952
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean that.

953
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 7: You don't just go from ten appearances. So he's gonna

954
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 7: be good average big League.

955
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 3: One war or ten starts, one war, ten starts, that's.

956
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 4: It, one or the other.

957
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 7: You could, it's it's kind of difficult to follow.

958
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 4: You can for predictions and one.

959
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 3: All I mean, he's all right. Ten starts for Dak's

960
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 3: faulton this year. The war one was finn the one war.

961
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 3: I don't know.

962
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: Every breaking starts Jesus Christ Kevin, all right, and I

963
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: did like well, like we said, he is due to

964
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: make his majorleague debut at this point at at some

965
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: point this year. Just injuries have really screwed him over

966
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: the last couple a couple of seasons.

967
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 3: But I still like what I've seen.

968
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: He's still got a really great breaking ball, breaking ball,

969
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: and he's a huge left handed pitcher six foot eight

970
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, So I think he's got some

971
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: avenue to succeed at the highest level.

972
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 6: That's bold, all right. I like it, man, I like it.

973
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 6: I like the banter too. It's fun. Geez, all right.

974
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 5: My last one, I'm going to predict that the Marlins

975
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 5: will win eighty plus games. I know that's not too bold,

976
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 5: but given may what may happen at the deadline, depending

977
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 5: where they're at, I know most projections had them at

978
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 5: seventy four to seventy six wins or so. But I

979
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 5: feel like this team, uh, the way they have to

980
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:22,240
Speaker 5: manufacture runs, they have elite speed defenses is great.

981
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: Uh.

982
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 5: I feel like they have a lot of young pitchers

983
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 5: that uh that can come up when when you know

984
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 5: Snelling White all those guys too. Let's say if they

985
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 5: if Sandy gets moved, that can have success. So I

986
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 5: think the pitching side will will be great. So yeah,

987
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 5: that that's my prediction. You guys tell me if that's

988
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 5: not bold enough or what? What do you guys think

989
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 5: about that?

990
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: Well, my prediction regarding the team's record, I was gonna

991
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: say that they were gonna win less games than they

992
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: did last year, but right, that wasn't also very bold either.

993
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 3: I think to win eighty games in this division bold enough.

994
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 5: I would say, Okay, yeah, I figured it was like

995
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 5: just bold enough, but not like wow, you know, it's

996
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 5: like just up there, because.

997
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 4: When you look at it, last year, it was what

998
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 4: eighty three eighty four wins to make the postseason and

999
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 4: the NL.

1000
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 2: So you're just over eighty you have a shot, So

1001
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 2: you're it's pretty much on par saying, hey, the Marlins

1002
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:22,479
Speaker 2: are gonna be ended up until the very end.

1003
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 3: Again this year, so I like that.

1004
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, good, all right already, then we'll wrap it up there.

1005
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 4: I think these were bold. These are very bold. Will

1006
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 4: they happen?

1007
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:35,959
Speaker 2: I guess we'll just have to wait and see until

1008
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 2: we do this show again towards the end of the year.

1009
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 2: But Eli, are your thoughts? Were there any that you

1010
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 2: guys had left that you guys wanted to share? These

1011
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 2: won't count now, but you can share them. And uh,

1012
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 2: the only one I had left was that there would

1013
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 2: be multiple Marlins All Stars. I used that one last year,

1014
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 2: so I wasn't gonna use it again.

1015
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 6: Was one of mine?

1016
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had one.

1017
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 2: AJ took one of mine with Pete Pete Fairbanks because

1018
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 2: I was gonna say I was gonna be even older

1019
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 2: than twenty five, says. I was gonna say, he's gonna

1020
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 2: break the single season record for more saves and franchise history,

1021
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 2: which was forty seven by Antonio alfon Seca.

1022
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 4: So I was gonna be even older than that.

1023
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was assuming that, assuming the worms are very competitive,

1024
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 2: and that they actually used Pete Fairbanks as the closer.

1025
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, man, you know I was gonna I was

1026
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: gonna bring AJ into this, and I was gonna say

1027
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 1: Pete Fairbanks would eclipse AJ's single season record for saves

1028
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: with forty forty one, you would you would dead because

1029
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: AJ saved forty and twenty sixteen.

1030
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 3: That's crazy. You save forty games in twenty sixteen, That's

1031
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 3: fucking nuts.

1032
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 5: It was, Yeah, that was Now thinking about it now,

1033
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 5: I'm like, that's pretty awesome.

1034
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 3: You know, that's pretty sick.

1035
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 5: While I was in it, you don't think about it.

1036
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 5: You're just like, yeah, I'm gonna get fifty next year,

1037
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 5: you know, like you know, you just have that mindset

1038
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 5: of like cool, do more, you know what I mean.

1039
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 5: But now I'm sitting on this side of it, I

1040
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 5: think about some of the things. I'm like, aah, that's

1041
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 5: that's actually pretty cool. So it was a cool moment

1042
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 5: I would have. I would love to see another Marlin

1043
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 5: to you know, get more than forty saves, especially nowadays,

1044
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 5: like you mentioned the way they use uh, the way

1045
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 5: they use their relievers now closers, so it's hard to

1046
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 5: it's hard to get saves. I was gonna One of

1047
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,720
Speaker 5: the ones that I left off was that your Perez

1048
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 5: was gonna be in the top three for cy Young. Yeah, votes, Yeah,

1049
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 5: that was one of the ones where I was going

1050
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 5: back and forth on But yeah, because when you look

1051
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 5: at his stuff, it's not bold, right, because his stuff

1052
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 5: is cy Young type, especially if he nails down that sweeper.

1053
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 5: But what happens during the season is tough to predict, right, Injuries,

1054
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 5: all these different things, So it's hard to predict someone

1055
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 5: winning SIUM or being in the running for it, but

1056
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 5: he has the stuff for it. So it's not that

1057
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 5: it's not bold in that sense, but bold because of

1058
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 5: the volatility of the of the season.

1059
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 4: That's funny.

1060
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 2: I had one last one and I just remember I

1061
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 2: had Sandy winning the cy Young so making a big

1062
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 2: return and.

1063
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, we both could have won right there.

1064
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, want that.

1065
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's even though he's done it before. I mean,

1066
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 7: it is, uh for a guy last last year was

1067
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 7: is what it was. I mean, for somebody to make

1068
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 7: that kind of that'd be unprecedented for somebody to inconsistent

1069
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 7: as he was last year to being all of a sudden,

1070
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 7: he's literally the best pitcher in.

1071
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 3: The n L, but he was.

1072
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 5: That's why I didn't use that he was inconsistent because

1073
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 5: of an injury. You know, it wasn't like he was

1074
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 5: pitching all those years and all of a sudden it

1075
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,879
Speaker 5: was like, damn, he's inconsistent.

1076
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 6: What happened to him? It's like, oh, he's recovering from

1077
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:47,919
Speaker 6: Tommy John.

1078
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 5: Yea, So now it's it could be bold because of that,

1079
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 5: Like maybe Tommy John changed his.

1080
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 6: Shape because his pitch shapes are a tad bit different.

1081
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 5: They're a little bit differ now, which is why when

1082
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 5: he throws, when he makes mistakes, they get hit more

1083
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 5: often than before. So I don't know if that was

1084
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 5: him still learning his new arm or new elbow basically,

1085
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 5: or if that's just him now and he has to

1086
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 5: figure out a new way of pitching white like throwing

1087
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 5: a new sweeper.

1088
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: So so yeah, it's unfortunate because I think he was

1089
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: just one of the few guys in baseball that could

1090
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: live off of just a fastball change of combination with

1091
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: the occasional slider.

1092
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 3: Man, it was just so lethal.

1093
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: In those couple of years where he was just dominant,

1094
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: And yeah, he's gonna have to find a way to

1095
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: incorporate a totally different arsenal.

1096
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,879
Speaker 5: One thing I'll say though, Like when I was coming

1097
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 5: back off with Tommy John, I didn't start feeling normal

1098
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 5: till my second year.

1099
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, usually the second year, and that's where I felt.

1100
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 6: That's when the Villo jumped up. I just had more confidence.

1101
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 5: I had more feel because it takes it takes a

1102
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 5: lot of pitches, a lot of throws to cement a

1103
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 5: feel in a new ligament. Right, everything's slightly changed. So

1104
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 5: you get enough throws in without injury, you'll build that feel.

1105
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 5: So once he gets that feel, he'll be He'll be lethal.

1106
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 5: He can be he can be cy young Sandy again.

1107
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 5: But it all, it all depends on if he can

1108
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 5: regain that feel.

1109
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's let's hope he does really quick, Kevin, I'll

1110
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: read the two that I had here. I had Josh

1111
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: Aknes recording at least ten saves at some point during

1112
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty sixth season. You know, on the off

1113
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 1: chance Fairbanks is traded or if they're using him in

1114
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: the eighth for example, they could open the door for

1115
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: someone like Josh Aknes. And then the other one was

1116
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 1: Araberto Hernandez hitting twenty five home runs in twenty twenty

1117
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: six are real.

1118
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 4: I like those over the dacks one, if I'm being honest, Yeah,

1119
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 4: can I change it no right now.

1120
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,320
Speaker 7: I mean we're still still recording, so I guess.

1121
00:51:56,360 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't fun because you told me it wasn't. I

1122
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 3: put Herobic for Fernandez twenty five home runs. That's my

1123
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 3: last one. I like that or yeah, but i Ax

1124
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 3: is a good guy.

1125
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: We didn't call him in that, we didn't pick him

1126
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: in the call up contest. He's not involved in our

1127
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:13,280
Speaker 1: bold predictions.

1128
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 3: Poor guy, dude, he's got our inn we go. He's

1129
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,120
