1
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: As always, we thank you for choosing Earning their Stripes,

2
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: your exclusive podcast for coverage of the Marlins minor league system.

3
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: This is Danny Martinez joined by Ian Smith and Ethan

4
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: Badowski and guys. At this point, I honestly feel like

5
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: I could call you brother. So let me vent very quickly.

6
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: Tell me this isn't going to feel like therapy today,

7
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: with everything that has happened with the Marlins this week,

8
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: with the nice little hit piece on den Bo, with

9
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: just a lot of just the self wounds that they've

10
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: caused too, with this power situation, tell me that today's

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: podcast is not going to be something that you'll looking

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: forward to.

13
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I sent out a tweet about it last night

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: about how you know we're coming in tomorrow or I

15
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 2: guess that it was a few days ago, about how

16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: we're just we're going to bring you the positives that

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: are happening because of Denbo, and you see so many

18
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: negatives you know, right now, and it's hard because we

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: don't have anything other to focus on. You know, the

20
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: team is really struggling. They got a nice win last

21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: night over My Cubbies, but we'll hold off on that one.

22
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: But you know, the way the team is struggling, it's

23
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: just hard to talk about anything other than the negatives.

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: And especially with the way the Miami media and the

25
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: city of Miami itself treats the Marlins, You're always going

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: to have negative storylines when there's nothing positive to talk about,

27
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 2: and so it's just the way it goes. It's really

28
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: frustrating and really hard to watch because some guys get

29
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: torched that it's just not necessary. I mean, history we

30
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: were talking about whether Gary Denbo likes dogs or not,

31
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 2: and obviously, like anybody that doesn't like dogs is weird,

32
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: but you know, is it really the most important thing

33
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: when it comes to baseball operations and what he was

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: brought here to do. So this will definitely seem like

35
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: therapy because we do have a lot of good things

36
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: to talk about.

37
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: It's been a week, man, I mean, I wasn't expecting

38
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 3: this by in any means, for the people to pile

39
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 3: on like this. But I'm glad we can be here

40
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: to talk about the positives because I don't know if

41
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 3: anybody can deal with the negative, a negative story every

42
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: day of the week, you know, So that's what we're

43
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: here for.

44
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the issue is that, you know, even

45
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: kind of hit on it. I sent this out too.

46
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: The Miami media seems to disseminate anything that comes out negative.

47
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: So so a national perspective or opinion piece or whatever

48
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: we want to call this latest Denvo piece comes out

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: and the Mimai media feels like they have to just

50
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: throw it on anybody. But Baseball America comes out and

51
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: says something positive about the Marlins, and no one hears

52
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: about it, and it seems like we just it seems

53
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: like it's limited to us. And I know that sounds crazy,

54
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: but it seems like it's limited to this podcast. And

55
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: one of the one of the fans and listeners actually

56
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: send an email and he said, it's nice that this

57
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: is what's keeping us going during the rebuild, you know,

58
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: not just the podcast, but just these type of conversations

59
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: we need.

60
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 4: We need that hope.

61
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: And it's not like we're fabricating stuff. It's just it's

62
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: the truth. Denbo has done good things and we're gonna

63
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: talk about some of that today. I mean, you'll see

64
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: in our rundown we're gonna hit six do Sanchez, We're

65
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: gonna talk about trending players, you know, in our segments.

66
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 4: We're gonna talk.

67
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: About individuals that he targeted himself and have shown the

68
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: promise and why they were brought in. So so with

69
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: that being said, we'll jump we'll jump right into it.

70
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: Six do Sanchez had his first start the week. They're

71
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: gonna limit his innings, right, They're gonna be careful with him.

72
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: He went five innings. He allowed six hits, although all

73
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: of them were singles and most of them were off

74
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: of week contact to earn runs in the first inning,

75
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: one walk, two k's. I'll let the guys kind of

76
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: break down what they saw, what we like about the start.

77
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: But just getting him on the mound is a good.

78
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: Start, absolutely, man. I mean this stuff is there. I

79
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: mean he's on the mound. Was early May, and he's

80
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: pitching great. I mean he had hit one hundred point

81
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: two on the gun. I believe in this start and

82
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: that's not pitching. And I don't know, I think it's

83
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: six seven months. He hasn't pitched in a game. He

84
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: came out and slider was tight, he had he had

85
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: the delivery down. He was ready to pitch. He talked

86
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 3: about the six hits and his weak contact, but if

87
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 3: you think about weak contact is exactly what it was.

88
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: I mean, it was everything you wanted from a comeback star.

89
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: From the K numbers weren't there, But I'm not worrying

90
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: about that. He found his zone and he wasn't wild

91
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 3: with this stuff, and I was just glad to see

92
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: him on the mount again.

93
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 2: Man.

94
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 3: It's exciting.

95
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, exactly like you said. And it's just good

96
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: to see him out there and see his name pop

97
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: up in a box score. You know, it's nothing to

98
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 2: be concerned about. The two k's And I said this,

99
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: you know it when it came out. I had very

100
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: low expectations for what he was going to do in

101
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: his first start. I obviously have high expectations for him

102
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: this year, because you know the.

103
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 3: Kind of prospect that he is.

104
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: But it's nothing to be worried about. I mean, he

105
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: went five innings and they're not going to let him

106
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: go seventy right away. They're going to let him work

107
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 2: back into it. And it's good that I think, you know,

108
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: I think it's good that he's starting in Jupiter to

109
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: just let him get his feet under him kind of.

110
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: But I don't expect him to make more than you know,

111
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: three or four starts. In Jupiter before we see him

112
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: in Jacksonville, which is where we all expected him to start.

113
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: So just you know, maybe another start or two and

114
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: just see the stuff there and the k's up a

115
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 2: little more, and you know, obviously the case are what

116
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: we're going to be looking for because of his stuff.

117
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: And so when you see two k's, it's like, WHOA,

118
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: what the heck? You know, But like like I said,

119
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: it's just it's nothing. You know, It's it's his first

120
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: start back, and it was going to be a hard

121
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 2: working start for him because he hasn't seen you know,

122
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: except for an extended spring, he hasn't seen great competition

123
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: since the injuries. So you know, he'll work his way

124
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: back and he'll be fine. I'm really excited to see

125
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: what he does this year.

126
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, And as far as red flags go, you know,

127
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: we could talk about the two k's and we should,

128
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: and then at the other the other side of it,

129
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: he only walked one hitter. That's what I would have

130
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: expected to see an increase in or a red flag

131
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: in after not pitching for six nine months, whatever the

132
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: case may be, especially a guy that has that type

133
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: of movement in his pitches, that type of velocity in

134
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: his pitches, so it was nice to see him go

135
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: five innings. It was nice to see the weak contact.

136
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: Of course, we want those K numbers up, but also

137
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: also solid to see that he limited himself to one walk.

138
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Now y'all touched on it just to get almost predictions.

139
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: How many how many starts do you think he he

140
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: has before the promotion?

141
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: I think maybe two more, I'm guessing. I mean, if

142
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 3: he dominates the next start, he could be up. And two.

143
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 3: I don't think it'll be many. He's not He's not

144
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: got the stuff to sit and sing lay very long.

145
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 3: They have a bunch of guys there ready to throw,

146
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 3: so I don't see him being there very long. Three starts, max.

147
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say. I'd say three is a good number,

148
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 2: and that might even be a little conservative, Okay.

149
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: And then the only other thing I could really think

150
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: of with six though, is is is there any chance

151
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: that we see him in Marlins Park in September?

152
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: Maybe if he wasn't coming off an injury. It depends

153
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: on how he does, you know in Jacksonville this year,

154
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: and then also the way that the rotation turns out

155
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: if there's an injury or if you Urina is gone,

156
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: or if Smith is gone, or if you know there's

157
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: you know, something happens in the rotation. But with a

158
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: lot of these guys, I think you shouldn't rush him.

159
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: You know, look at what happened, what's happening with Magnorisierra

160
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: this year. He was kind of rushed up to the

161
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: bigs and now he's down in Double A and is

162
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 2: having a really nice season. So I think it's no rush.

163
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: If he does, it's awesome. If he doesn't, we'll see

164
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: him next year.

165
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 3: You know, absolutely, I'm gonna air on the same size

166
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 3: east and there like I really will highly diut to

167
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: see six the Martins Park this year. Just do the

168
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: innings limit and coming off an injury and so forth.

169
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: They're gonna want to see him. Just stay healthy in

170
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: the minors this year. He's twenty years old. We got time.

171
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: I mean, he's going to be fine. Let's just see

172
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: him pitch right now. Let's not rush him. I'd rather

173
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: see him in twenty twenty one or over late next year.

174
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: Let's see they'll say that.

175
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll pairrot that as well. I think that if

176
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: I had to predict, i'd say mid twenty twenty. I

177
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: think that we could see him produce enough and just

178
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: show that he's healthy enough, just show that he's durable enough,

179
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: something that you know, the question mark if there's one

180
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: question mark on six, so it's that to the durability.

181
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: Let's see that.

182
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: For a full year, and then around this time in

183
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: a month a year and a month from now, let's

184
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: talk about him starting to come up.

185
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: And must be cautious with him. You know, I don't

186
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: think he should throw more than five six innings a

187
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: night until he's built up an entire year. And you know,

188
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: I guess there's gonna be an innings limits, so that

189
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: probably won't happen. But and just one more thing real

190
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: quick before we move on. Danny on his start is

191
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 2: the good the really good thing to see is six hits,

192
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 2: one walk with only two runs, you know, so that

193
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: means he was able to work around well and he

194
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 2: was sitting around the strike zone. And I think it's

195
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: really good to see from him limiting the damage and

196
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: being able to you know, not have to strike everybody

197
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: out to limit the damage. I think that's a really

198
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 2: positive sight from him in his first start.

199
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the fact that those two runs came in

200
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: that first inning, So I mean that was what we're

201
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: really talking about, kicking out rust. And they got to

202
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: him in that first inning a few again weak contacts,

203
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: sneaks through the right side, and then they scored. But

204
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: he just dominated the rest of the outing. And you know,

205
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: we can't really say dominating without high k numbers, but

206
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: he controlled the rest of the outing, allowing no runs

207
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: from you know, second inning till he was finished off.

208
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: So good to see six on the mound. I believe

209
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: we're all in accord there that we need to take

210
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: it slow with him. We need to build that durability

211
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: and hopefully we could see him next year of mid

212
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: year and if not, definitely by twenty twenty one. The

213
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: other news, which is the big news because now we

214
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: get to talk about Lewis Brinson on this podcast before

215
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: he was a MLB only podcast kind of a guy.

216
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: But you know, he was demoted, and we had somewhat

217
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: discussed this on the other podcast that maybe it even

218
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: came too late at a time. But the big news

219
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: Lewis Brinston demoted to Triple A. They're going to try

220
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: to get him consistent at bats. Obviously it wasn't working

221
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: at the major league level. So the question is if

222
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: this is considered somewhat of a full reset, right and

223
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: regardless of the optics of what this is, you know,

224
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: he was the centerpiece, he was traded for Yelich. How

225
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: are they going to demote him, whatever the case is,

226
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: now that he's a part of our podcast here, now

227
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: that he's a part of our world, what are you

228
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: both looking for? What are we as Marlin's fans, what

229
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: should we be looking for out of Lewis Brinson in

230
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: New Orleans?

231
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I want to see him just stay

232
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 3: on his approach and stay confident. I mean, he really

233
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 3: came into twenty nineteen be in the face of this

234
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: rebuild for the Marlins and came into the season with

235
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: high hopes. He looked decent with big home runs in

236
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 3: spring training and still the k numbers were there, but

237
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: you expected some kind of a progression from him coming

238
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen. He really did not get going obviously.

239
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 3: I mean it was probably two weeks too late. He

240
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: didn't get the spot in the order that he really

241
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: could flourish in. He was bad. In eighth a lot

242
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: of knights he was bad, and seventh a lot of

243
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: nights he really didn't get to see the pitches he

244
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 3: was and when he did, he wasn't swinging at him.

245
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: I really just want to see him just get at

246
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 3: bats and just stay on his approach and put the

247
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 3: bat on the ball. Like I say that every week.

248
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 3: But with Brentson, it's the main thing for this guy.

249
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: I mean, he could be a dominant player. He's got

250
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 3: all the tools, he's got all the abilities in the world,

251
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 3: but he just can't seem to put it all together.

252
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 3: If the Marlin's going to this setback in this demotion

253
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 3: as a quick rebuild, then I don't think it's going

254
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: to work at all. I mean I expect him to

255
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: be there for at least a month or two or

256
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: maybe more. I mean, he needs this. He's got really

257
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 3: nothing going for him in the majors right now, and

258
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: it's just going to hurt the rest of his career

259
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: if we just let him up there to get dominated

260
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: every night.

261
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah again, you know, bring up a guy like magnor

262
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: Sierra and what's happen into him when the Marlins gave

263
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: him afore reset down in Double A. You know, I

264
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: just think you just it's we say patients a lot

265
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: in this podcast. But that's the thing with minor leaguers

266
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 2: is you just have to be patient. And and I

267
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: think if he you know, struggles and and you know,

268
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden starts coming out of it,

269
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: let him, you know, don't rush him right back. If

270
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 2: he comes out of it and starts getting really hot,

271
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: you know, let him, let him marinate for a while.

272
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be mad. You know, it would be a

273
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 2: very bad look if he's there for the rest of

274
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 2: the year. But I wouldn't be bad if if he's

275
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: there for the rest of the year and the results

276
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 2: start coming and the approach starts getting better, and he

277
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: starts showing more power numbers and striking out a little less.

278
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: So I would really be We just have to be patient.

279
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it's instinks. I feel so bad for Lou

280
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 2: because he's, you know, he's a good guy, and it

281
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: was so hard to watch him, just knowing the talent

282
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: that he has and how important he is to this rebuild.

283
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: It was really hard to watch him in the main,

284
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: especially because the first week or so the season, the

285
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: approach looked a little better. He was making more contact.

286
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 2: I think he had the average up around three hundred

287
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: at one point, you know, and it was like okay,

288
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: like here we go. Maybe you know he's gonna have

289
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: a bit of a sustainable year. And then I think

290
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: it was just before that Cleveland series or maybe with Cincinnati,

291
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: the wheels just kind of came off and it happened again,

292
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 2: and we just have to be patient. You know, it stinks,

293
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 2: but like Ian said, just look for the approach. Hope.

294
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 2: Let's hope he starts showing some more pop. He had

295
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 2: a double in his first game back, I think, and

296
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 2: just let him work. He needs time. He needs time.

297
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: It stinks to say, watch he needs a lot of time.

298
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'll highlight two things there when it comes

299
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: to giving him the time he needs, letting him develop

300
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: the way that obviously we have a reset and that

301
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: he needs to develop. You know, there's no there's no

302
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: rush here, there's no urgency here. I'm gonna say, I've

303
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: sent this out a bunch of times and you know

304
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: it'll get labeled an excuse, so be it. The guy

305
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: is about to turn twenty five. The average age of

306
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: a Major League Baseball rookie is twenty four point five.

307
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: Get you know, it's he's he's he's half a year

308
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: older than the average rookie. There's no reason to have

309
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: to make this a quick reset for him, no full reset.

310
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: The last time that Lewis Brinson was able to go

311
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: up to the plate with any kind of confidence if

312
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: we take away spring training, is what a year and

313
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: a half ago, when he was when he was in

314
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: a you know right, I mean, there's a psychological perspective

315
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: to this. He needs, he needs a full reset. He

316
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: needs to show that he's he's going to be a

317
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: major leaguer, that all those tools are there, that they

318
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: didn't evaporate. And there's just no rush on the Marlin

319
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: side of this. We don't care about the wins and

320
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: losses this year.

321
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 4: We just don't.

322
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: We care about the development. So give him time, allow

323
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: him to reset. When he comes up, he's going to

324
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: be maybe six months older, seven months older than the

325
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: average rookie. Allow him the time needed to really find

326
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: that swing, that approached, that rhythm, that confidence that y'all spoke.

327
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: About, and like, like you said, Danny, like there's no rush.

328
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: You know, wait, I lost my train of thought. Come

329
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: back to me on that.

330
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 3: I come back. Yeah, yeah, while you're slaying with no

331
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 3: rush on Brinson like even like the Marlins have seemed

332
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: so keen to bring this guy up and have him

333
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: part of the roster because he came so high profile

334
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 3: on the Yellowish deal and Yellish's going and doing what

335
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 3: he's doing. But with with with anything that Marlins are

336
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 3: doing right now, we're getting negative criticism. So I think

337
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 3: they need to reach a point with Lewis that they

338
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: need to stop caring about the image of this team

339
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 3: of they need to have this uber prospect in the

340
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: majors and playing when this kid doesn't need to be

341
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: here playing right now, and they've last year was a

342
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: struggle to watch the second half. He really just didn't

343
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 3: need to be there, and they it was like almost

344
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 3: a night they were forcing the kid to play every

345
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: night for for the need to have a star that

346
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 3: was going to be there and the rebuild. And I

347
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: might be off base with that, but I don't know.

348
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 3: The kid needs to be in Triple A for as

349
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 3: long as he as he needs to, and he hasn't

350
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: got that since he was in the Milwaukee system, and

351
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see what they're going to do with

352
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 3: him while he's here.

353
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you make a great point Ian like

354
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 2: just because he's the face to the franchise. You know,

355
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say the face of the franchise, but the

356
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: face of the rebuild doesn't mean he has to be

357
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: playing every night if he's not contributing to the team.

358
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: You know, he what is he going to gain from

359
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: being in the major leagues right now? He was playing

360
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: as a fourth outfielder. They were playing starting him in

361
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: the eighth spot, which you know, that's not the We're

362
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: not saying that's the reason he's bad. He's been bad

363
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: in the major league so far. All we're saying is

364
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: that hasn't helped his development at all. There have been

365
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: a lot of things the Marlins have done that really

366
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: haven't helped his development, and playing him as a fourth

367
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: outfielder was doing that. And so now he gets the

368
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: chance to go start in New Orleans and play alongside

369
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: Monte and you know some guys that are really important

370
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 2: to the rebuild as well and are playing really good baseball.

371
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: And so I think we have to to let him

372
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 2: do that because he's not contributing to the team up

373
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 2: at the major league level, so maybe he can help

374
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: in the minor leagues. And let's not worry about the

375
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 2: fact that he you know, he's the guy we got

376
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 2: the headliner of the Yellis trade, and he's not here.

377
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 2: Let's worry about helping him develop so that, if anything,

378
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: he just becomes serviceable, because that's what we're you know,

379
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 2: at this point, I think we'll all be happy if

380
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 2: if that happens.

381
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and that's why I mean, at the very least,

382
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm if we're searching for something positive at the major

383
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: league level. The fact that he was demoted, as awful

384
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 1: as that might sound, is a positive move by the

385
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: Marlins franchise. You know, they said, screw the optics, screw

386
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: with the Twitter fan that retweets every Yelich Homer is

387
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: going to say, this is what needs to happen for

388
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: this guy's development.

389
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 4: We've waited long enough.

390
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: Go down to Triple A, Go be with monte Go,

391
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: b with Diaz, like like you said, Ethan, and and

392
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: let's see, let's see what happens. I believe he's also

393
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: with his hitting coach down there, so you know, there's

394
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: there is a lot positive that can come from this.

395
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: For a guy that is still only six months older

396
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: than the average rookie, no reason to give up on him,

397
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: but at least set him in the right path. And

398
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: I think that this was the first good step for that.

399
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: With that being the case, let's go ahead and let's

400
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: go to our prospect performance updates. There's a lot of guys, actually,

401
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 1: because last week we couldn't get to a lot of

402
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: individuals because if Monte's amazing interview, so i'll I'll let

403
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: Ethan take it first. Is there anyone that you feel

404
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: like we should highlight without giving away any of our

405
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: other segments, that you feel the fan should really be

406
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: tuned into.

407
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 2: This guy was going to be in my things we

408
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: love to see until somebody else came in and knocked

409
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: him off. But let's talk about Edward Cabrera. What a

410
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 2: start the other night man. Six and two thirds innings,

411
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 2: two hits, no runs, no walks, and thirteen strikeouts. Kid's been,

412
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 2: kids been had good strikeout numbers in two starts. He

413
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 2: said thirteen and nine in two of his four starts

414
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: so far. He had six in the one before he

415
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 2: had thirteen, and he's off to a really nice start

416
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 2: this year. And I talked about how he could be

417
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: sort of the hidden gem in this cluster of talent

418
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 2: that is the Marlins rotation down in the minors, especially

419
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 2: in Jupiter. I think he's kind of a hidden gem.

420
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 2: And this guy's really really talented. I mean, so far

421
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 2: this year, he's only in twenty two innings, he's only

422
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: allowed eleven hits, four runs, six walks, and he's struck

423
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 2: out thirty one. So those are some really nice numbers

424
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: and he's a really nice player. And like I said,

425
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 2: I just think we should keep looking out keep an

426
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: eye on him, because you know, it's crazy to say

427
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: that he's flying under the radar in a way, because

428
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 2: he's one of the top prospects and we talk about

429
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: him a lot on here, but he might not get

430
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: the publicity that some of these other guys in the

431
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 2: Marlin's rotation in the system does, and I think he

432
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: deserves it. And hats off to him for another great

433
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: performance the other night.

434
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll definitely talk a little bit more about Correra

435
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 3: later the episode. But another guy I'd like to talk

436
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 3: about who's having a great year so far, as Ellie

437
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 3: Isier Hernandez down Troyton down, New Orleans. He's been quite

438
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 3: dominant to start the year and he's flying very right

439
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 3: under the radar. He's got a one one seven ERA

440
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 3: over his first six starts. He's sporting a twelve point

441
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 3: four rate KSh over nine, which is probably the best,

442
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 3: uh probably probably the best of his career. I'd imagine.

443
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 3: I haven't looked at that staff, but I would say

444
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: that's the best of his career. We got him in

445
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 3: a Rule five draft last year, and he endured some

446
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 3: pretty bad struggles on the major league team last year.

447
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 3: But the kid's only twenty four years old, and now

448
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 3: he's dominating the New Orleans where he's supposed to be and

449
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 3: looking like a future piece for this roster. He's got

450
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 3: nasty stuff. He hasn't allowed a home run all year

451
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 3: this year, and he just looks good. I mean, everybody

452
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 3: talks about Zach Allen, Zach Allen sitting at a one

453
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 3: to one two ERA, Ellie I just sitting at a

454
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 3: one one six like they're right there, and it's it's

455
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 3: yet you haven't heard one. You haven't heard peep about

456
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 3: him since probably last last year when he was getting

457
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 3: dominated in the major league level. So that's the guy.

458
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: I think he's deserve some love, and he's through a

459
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 3: great start. The other night, six innings, ten k is

460
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 3: one walk and I mean they won the game four nothing,

461
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 3: so that's a shout out victory for him, I mean

462
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 3: for the team. So that's what I'd love to see

463
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 3: out of him. And another guy likes to talk about

464
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 3: real quick is Justin Twine been on an absolute tear

465
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 3: to start the year in Jacksonville. He added four h

466
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 3: two in Jacksonville last year, and he started the year

467
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 3: this year at two ninety four with only with the

468
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 3: lowest k rate of his career and just playing good baseball.

469
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 3: I mean, that team really hasn't shown much pop with

470
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 3: the bat, and he's been solid all year long. So

471
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: that's another guy like to talk about.

472
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody sorry, it's good to see somebody hitting in

473
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: Jacksonville because she was like nobody is doing it. Who

474
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 2: had a really good start there the other night and

475
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 2: they just got no help from their team whatsoever. I

476
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: think maybe it was Amas had a really nice start,

477
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: but that that lineup is just in a daze right now.

478
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on there because they do

479
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 2: have some nice sitting prospects. I mean, Brigman is off

480
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 2: to a terrible start and so it's it's been frustrating

481
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: the snee, So it's nice to see something positive coming

482
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: out of there.

483
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just to go back on what I was

484
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: going to say very quickly, by the way, it was

485
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: Yams who had the really solid start, but he couldn't

486
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: get any any run support. You know, everyone expects, I'm

487
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: going to go back to the Hernandez point by Ian,

488
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: everyone expects Gallen to be the first guy called up.

489
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm not so certain that that's going to be the case.

490
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: I think that the Marlins, if we're looking at roster construction,

491
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: I think that Hernandez will actually probably be the first

492
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: guy called up because he's already on the forty. You know,

493
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: Gallin isn't, Which means that if you go with Gallen, okay,

494
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: that's great, we're going to see, you know, the completion

495
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: of the Baby Faced aces per se. But you're gonna

496
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: have to take someone off that forty. I think that

497
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: whether that's going to be disappointing a lot of listeners

498
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: or not, yeah, I know, just just I mean, somewhat

499
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: has to be gone. But I think that they're going

500
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: to take the conservative route and if they really bring

501
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: someone up, it it'll likely be Hernandez and quite frankly,

502
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: it would no longer just be a lazy forty man transaction.

503
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: He's actually earning that call up if it were to happen.

504
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 2: And he was on the roster last year, right, he

505
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 2: spent some time up the.

506
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 4: Yeah last year.

507
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: Had to keep him on the roster unless we were.

508
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so so yeah, I definitely agree. But you know,

509
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: it would be nice to see Gallon up first for sure.

510
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: Definitely, definitely, And and just to highlight that Yam start,

511
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: uh six innings, one hit, two walks, six strikeouts, but

512
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: he could just just no no run support.

513
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 4: What's our which is going to happen?

514
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: I think nothing. I think it was a one nothing

515
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: ball game.

516
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,719
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's just it's going

517
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: to happen to that pitching staff the entire year. But

518
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: it's nice to see Yams performing the way that he

519
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: was performing last year because he got off to that

520
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: little slow start for this year regardless of whether we're

521
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: getting run support or not for him. But yeah, yeah,

522
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Ethan. I would like to see Gallin

523
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: come up. I would like to see Gallin be the

524
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: guy that they call. I just yeah, I think that

525
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: that forty man not being on the forty men is

526
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: just gonna it's just gonna make the choice to bring

527
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: up Hernette's too easy for them. But we'll see, Yeah,

528
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: we'll see. Is there anyone else you guys want to highlight.

529
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: I mean, you're talking about Valiumon again for having another

530
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 3: dominant start the other night. I think it was six endings,

531
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 3: twelve strikeouts, one walk. I mean, he's looked phenomenal for

532
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 3: Clinton about the year this year, and he's a guy

533
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: I can see earning a promotion probably by mid season

534
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 3: if somebody moves up from the stupid rotation was it

535
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 3: was a college guy down of the draft last year.

536
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 3: So I'm excited to see what this guy can do

537
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 3: six or five with dominant stuff. He's an imposing figure

538
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 3: on the mountain, and it's good to see him put

539
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 3: together a dominant start after one after the other this

540
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 3: year to start the year.

541
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 2: Another guy that kind of had this the same thing

542
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: is Guzwan. He had a nice start, but he did

543
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: really really cruising through the first portion of the game,

544
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: and you know, we've talked about this before with you know,

545
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,719
Speaker 2: he could end up being a really good reliever, and

546
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 2: I think we saw kind of why the other night.

547
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: Because he started out on fire and was mowing guys down,

548
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,479
Speaker 2: and then towards the end of the game he threw

549
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,239
Speaker 2: ninety six pitches, the most he's thrown all year, and

550
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: and towards the end of the game he started started

551
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 2: kind of whinding down and the score book got a

552
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 2: little messy, but he had We went six and two thirds,

553
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 2: five hits, two runs, three walks, and five strikeouts. And

554
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 2: he's still having a really good year. But you know,

555
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 2: like I said, the way that he kind of you know,

556
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 2: his command kind of goes off on him, but he's

557
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 2: he's really solid to start games. I could I could

558
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: see him playing really really well out of the bullpen.

559
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the thing with Guzman really, if you look

560
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: at his as his games this year, there's really just

561
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: that one game I believe against Birmingham that he gave

562
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: up the seven runs, But outside of that, he's limited

563
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: the damage. It's just about that durability piece that you

564
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: keep hitting on, which is why a lot of people

565
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: like that relieve a risk type of profile with him.

566
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: But the stuff is there. He's showing that he could

567
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: get hitters out. He's showing again that week contact and yeah,

568
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: it's been what now two starts, two starts that would

569
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: be considered rather solid. The start right behind the one

570
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: that you just highlighted. He went five innings, no runs allowed,

571
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: three walks, two strikeouts. But that's where that key is

572
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: with that kind of stuff. You have to be able

573
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: to strike more individuals out. Now for a couple of players,

574
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: because we're going to go back to Valamont for a second.

575
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: He was the first pitcher that was selected last year,

576
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: and he gets overlooked quite a lot because well, we

577
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: got basically what's considered three or four first rounders last

578
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: year on the offensive side, regardless of how they have

579
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: started off this year. Obviously, Cerris Johnson got hurt. Banfield

580
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: is elite defensively, but has yet to pick up the bat.

581
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: Pompeii's bat, although he also got hurt, started off cold.

582
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: Someone who were seeing which we really needed to see,

583
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: start trending upwards with Connor Scott and over the week

584
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: and a half, i would say almost two weeks in

585
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: two seventy three, three eighty five forty five, he was

586
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: able to hit his first home run. His k ra

587
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: is only at twelve point eight. He's actually walking more

588
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: than he's striking.

589
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 3: Out.

590
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: His walk rate is at twelve point eight, actually equal

591
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: twelve point eight. It's it's good to see you pair

592
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: that with four doubles. And now you're talking about a

593
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: player who's starting to pick up again, only nineteen years

594
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: of age, but starting to pick up and show those

595
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: tools that the Marlins obviously targeted him with their first pick.

596
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 2: And showing an advanced approach. I mean, he's taken taking

597
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 2: a lot of walks, and he was doing that last

598
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 2: year as well, but really doing it this year. I mean,

599
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 2: you said it's k rate. That's crazy that his k

600
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 2: rate is in his walk rade are about the same.

601
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: So I don't know if it's over that stretch or yeah.

602
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, over the two weeks.

603
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 2: But still, you know, he a really tough start for him,

604
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 2: and I'd still like to see him make more contact

605
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 2: as a table setter that he kind of, you know,

606
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 2: projects to be. But yeah, it's good to see him

607
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 2: get going an advanced approach, drawing a lot of walks

608
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: in cutting down the strikeouts recently. That's really good to

609
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 2: see from a guy that young.

610
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 3: Yah talking about trending prospects and young guys, and my

611
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 3: next guy we got on the list is Jose Devers.

612
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 3: I mean, last two weeks, he's raking the ball. I

613
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 3: mean he's hitting four to twelve for eighty seven four

614
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 3: forty one before this is coming off the DL, I believe,

615
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 3: or a little bit after coming off the DL. But

616
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 3: before that, he had zero walks in the year, didn't

617
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 3: walk one time. He's got a ten percent walk right now,

618
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 3: I mean twelve percent walk right now over the last

619
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 3: two weeks, which is phenomenal. I mean, he's starting to

620
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 3: actually take a better proach at the ball. He's putting

621
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 3: the battle ball literally two out of three times a game,

622
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 3: it seems like. And he's playing good baseball. And I'm

623
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: excited to see that he's still, like I said, nineteen

624
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 3: years old. He's the youngest player in the FSL by

625
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 3: a long shot, and he's dominating and it's exciting to see.

626
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 3: He doesn't get the love because he's not a true

627
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 3: shortstop to stick, so to speak. But put some weight

628
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 3: on this kid and let him keep hitting, and we're

629
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 3: gonna see something special come out of this kid.

630
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 2: And did you guys see I don't know if you

631
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: guys were watching the game last night, but they had

632
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 2: like the prospects spylight spotlight on Fox Sports Florida.

633
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 3: And.

634
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had a highlight reel of him just drilling

635
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 2: the ball and going going to every field. It seemed like, so.

636
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, has the best swing in the whole system. Yeah,

637
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 3: it's it's pretty.

638
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: It's pretty. And the way he's a really nice quick swing.

639
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 2: Hollinsworth was talking about it, and just the way he

640
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: was using all the fields and making hard contact on

641
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: some of these you know singles in line drives really exciting.

642
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 2: If he, like you said, it would be always safe.

643
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: He could just beef up a little more and start hitting,

644
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: start reaching the gaps, He's going to be really really good.

645
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: And then the third guy that will highlight is actually

646
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: Ethan's guy.

647
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 4: So happy.

648
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you show Sean Reynolds some love. Okay,

649
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,719
Speaker 1: I'll give you this last last. I mean, he has

650
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: three homer since, you know, since our our infamous tweet

651
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: right about no first Yeah, mid prospects. I mean the

652
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: k Raid is still forty percent, so you still got

653
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: him there a little bit. Yeah, but two sixty five,

654
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: three seventy five, five eighty eight over the last two weeks.

655
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: Good to see. Obviously, the k Raid needs to come down.

656
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: He's just he is becoming that Chris Davis all right, Yeah,

657
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: Chris Davis prototype where he's either going to hit a

658
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: bomb or he's going to strike out. But it's still

659
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: nice to see. And again he's very young.

660
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 2: He's taking a lot of walks, which is you know,

661
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: as I always highlight the walks on the show because

662
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: I love guys that draw a lot of walks and

663
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: get on basic on, and he's doing that, and it's

664
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: hitting tanks, which is good. You know, love guys that

665
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,479
Speaker 2: hit tanks. That's always exciting. And uh but yeah, like

666
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: you said, Danny, I mean over this stretch, it's a

667
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: really impressive stretch to sixty seven, three, seventy five, five,

668
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 2: eighty eight, but forty strikeout rates, So it's down from

669
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: the fifty that he was at earlier this year, but

670
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 2: prove men. Yeah, a little bit of improvement. But yeah,

671
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 2: he's imagine what he'd be hitting if he weren't striking

672
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: out at a forty percent clip, he'd be hitting a

673
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: lot higher than sixty five. Yeah, he's he's territory.

674
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 4: You know.

675
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: We joke about it and we talk about, oh, well,

676
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: what if Andrew Vaughan the first base prospect falls, or

677
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: we'll get Torposten the next year, whatever the case is.

678
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 4: But really, how beautiful would it be if.

679
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: He stepped up, if he stepped up and was able

680
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: to lower that Cabrie, Because clearly the power is there,

681
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: I mean clearly scary type of power. If he was

682
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: able to just lower that even into you know the

683
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: thirty two percent rate, thirty five percent, right, even that

684
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: we can work with. When you're talking about the immense

685
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: power production that he could bring.

686
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 2: In, yep, absolutely, that's Eli's boys. So Eli, Oh yeah.

687
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Eli's uh, the two guys for Eli right now

688
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: that we're crushing on Sean Reynolds and Justin Twine and

689
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: we've hit both of them on this episode. So yeah,

690
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: we're in line for bonuses or something.

691
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 4: But we were doing well, we're.

692
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: Doing well, all right, So let's go into our three segments.

693
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: Go ahead and take us off ian picture of the week,

694
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: hitter of the week.

695
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 3: Wow here, and that's an easy one this week. I

696
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 3: mean Ethan already brought him up earlier in the prospect

697
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: and that's Edward Cabrera is my picture of the week.

698
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 3: I mean, how could he not be six and two

699
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 3: thirds two hits, thirt teen k's and a bunch of zeros,

700
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 3: zero walks, zero runs, zero earned runs. I mean, he

701
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 3: was dominant. He's went twenty one straight endings without giving

702
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 3: up a score, giving up a run. He's only twenty

703
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 3: one years old. By the way, he had ninety eight

704
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 3: on the gun in this most previous start. I mean,

705
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 3: the kids got probably, like I've said it before, probably

706
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 3: the most arm talent in the system. And that's including

707
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 3: six though. The kids just got effortless gas. I saw

708
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 3: him in the Instructional League this year, or excuse me,

709
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 3: I saw him in the Marlin's Futures game. They held

710
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 3: him on his park and he threw a ball. I

711
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 3: think it was ninety six the gun, but it just

712
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 3: sounded different. And the kids, he's a humble kid. He

713
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 3: just goes out there and plays ball. He's starting to

714
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 3: throw two plus pitches with his change up in his curveball,

715
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 3: and that's going to start being scary. He's got the best,

716
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 3: he's got the best ra on this rotation in Jupiter,

717
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 3: and you really don't talk about him. I mean, you

718
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 3: got Braxton, you got Jordan Holloway, you got Will Stewart,

719
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: you got Trevor Rodgers and Everard Cabrera is the one

720
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 3: who's dealing right now. The kid is playing the best

721
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 3: baseball of his career and he's super exciting to see

722
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 3: walks for the biggest issue coming into the season, and

723
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 3: he's went two straight stars snow walks. That's what I

724
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 3: want to see. And that's exactly why is my mind

725
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 3: pitcher of the week and my hit of the week

726
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 3: probably could have been this guy last week, and that's

727
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 3: Hal Ramirez. He's hitting five twenty six over his last

728
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 3: five games. He's got three doubles and two homers over

729
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 3: that stretch. He's only struck out one time. The kid's dominating.

730
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 3: We got him for I think twenty five grand in

731
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 3: the offseason. He wanted to be here because he believes

732
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 3: he'd be a part of this pre build and have

733
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 3: a real future in Miami, and I mean he's showing it.

734
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 3: He hit four seventy eight the week before and five

735
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 3: twenty six this week. That's stupid numbers. I mean, the

736
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 3: lineup in New Orleans is kind of scary, and he's

737
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 3: getting pitches to hit and he's really hitting them, and

738
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 3: he's not in the forty man right now, but Barrings

739
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 3: and as the year of what goes on, I can

740
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 3: see him making his way on Marlands Park definitely in

741
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen.

742
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: I think he should be there already. For being honest,

743
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 2: it's not because we have to make a forty move,

744
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean, you know, with the way Brinton

745
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 2: was hitting, it was you know, I thought it would

746
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 2: kind of be a switch like Brinton for Harold, but

747
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: hasn't happened yet. I imagine it'll happen soon if this Yeah,

748
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: and that.

749
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: Has to be the case, right, he's another forty man.

750
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 1: Casualty just is what it is. If he was already

751
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: on the forty man, he would be up. He's deserved it,

752
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, and this is not just this year. I

753
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: mean we've touched on it. He's he's been hitting for

754
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: a while now. Even back in the blue Jay system

755
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: he was known as this so halid hitter, which is

756
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: why I continue to say it's surprises me that they

757
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: let him go and still young. You know, if he

758
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: was on that forty he's a person that would be

759
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: in Marlin's Park every day. So that's a solid, solid selection.

760
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: And then on the pitching side, I'll say I am

761
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: so happy that at least someone outside of our podcast

762
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: is starting to pay attention to Edward Coberra because he

763
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: was actually selected by Baseball America this week. Yeah, one

764
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: of the top hot starts. He was actually number four,

765
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 1: slotted between Jordan Alvarez of the Astros, right and Mackenzie Gore.

766
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: So that's good company. That's good company. You're showing that

767
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: people are starting to see what Caber brings to the table.

768
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 2: Jordan Alvarez Doty Gore two former future Marlins, and.

769
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 3: They're dominating this year too. Dominant. McKenzie look looks phenomenal.

770
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 3: Everybody was starting to writing them off after last year,

771
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 3: and he came back and just looks filthy. If he

772
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 3: stays healthy this year, he's going to be a top

773
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 3: ten prospect.

774
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 2: In the All Game for sure.

775
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: And right above them is another future former Marlin, Austin Riley.

776
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 2: Of course.

777
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 4: But again, it's good.

778
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 2: We were right about these kids, you know, I'm telling

779
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 2: you evaluate well, yeah, we have right ideas for the

780
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 2: trades that we want to do.

781
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: J It's like we're not just talking, like we actually

782
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: know something, huh exactly.

783
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 2: It's exciting when you when you realize that sometimes.

784
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, all right, go ahead and and take us

785
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: at things we love ethan.

786
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 2: All right, first thing, A guy that we haven't really

787
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 2: been talking about for some you know, negative reasons, but

788
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 2: we should start talking about more is Will Banfield. Uh.

789
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 2: Some video came out of Clinton last night of their

790
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 2: game and he threw three runners out with absolute hoses.

791
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 2: I mean, he's were cannons off the arm quick pop time.

792
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 2: We already we've talked about the elite defense that he

793
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 2: has on here before, but just seeing it in action,

794
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 2: you know, seeing some video of it. A guy that

795
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 2: you know, we've we've all kind of talked about negatively

796
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 2: to start the year, and he's hit me with like

797
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: on a negative tweet the way Sean Reynolds did. But

798
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 2: I would love to see him get going on the

799
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball because man, it's that defense

800
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 2: special and you saw that in that video. And I

801
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 2: love when we get video these guys because you know,

802
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 2: it's always just a picture in my head of what's

803
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 2: going on, but when you actually see it, it's really exciting.

804
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 2: And that's why the next two things we love to

805
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 2: see are also some videos that came out this week.

806
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 2: Did you guys see the laser that he's on. Diez

807
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 2: hit that swing. That swing is pure man and the

808
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 2: ball just flew off of it. I mean it got

809
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 2: the announcer to even start going crazy. He was screaming

810
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 2: his head off about how far that ball flew. So

811
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 2: seeing some power from you, Saan, and he's heating up,

812
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 2: you know around This is kind of even earlier than

813
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 2: when he started heating up last year up in Jacksonville.

814
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 2: But some power from him, and it's again, it's really

815
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 2: nice to see video of these guys and to see

816
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: them actually in action. And he had an absolute nuke,

817
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 2: so that was really exciting. And then the third one,

818
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 2: I know you guys saw this because I know Ian

819
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 2: this guy too. Victor Mason Junior. What that guy's got

820
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 2: a real for seventeen year old. He's got a really

821
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 2: beautiful swing, the way he stay with one hand, and

822
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: he crushed that ball. He knew it. You know, I

823
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 2: wish those those videos would show you where the ball

824
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 2: kind of lands, but you could see on that swing

825
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 2: and if that ball never had a chance. So and

826
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 2: the pimp job he's got eighty. That was an eighty

827
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 2: great pimp job right there from him. So I'm really excited.

828
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 2: The draft is in about a month and then the

829
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 2: GCL starts up a little bit after that, and I

830
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 2: expect him to be there, and I'm really excited to

831
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 2: see him start getting in box scores and start paying

832
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 2: attention to him, because I don't know, I think, you know,

833
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 2: we give Victor Victor a lot of the attention, but

834
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 2: I think this guy deserves a little more attention than

835
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 2: he deserves. It probably is because he's not playing right now,

836
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: but man, if he can come up and hit in

837
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 2: the GCL and start making his way through the system

838
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 2: at seventeen years old with that kind of swing, that

839
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 2: was beautiful. So those are the things we love to see.

840
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 2: If you have video out there, if you're going to

841
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 2: these games, send it to us. We would love to

842
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 2: see it. I love watching video these guys and it's

843
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 2: always exciting to see to give them some attention. So

844
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 2: if you're listening out there and you happen by a

845
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 2: Marlins Minor League game this week and you get some

846
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 2: video of something could happen, and send it our way,

847
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 2: we'd love to see it.

848
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

849
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: And I'll add one thing on Mesa Junior very quickly

850
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: because it's the one nugget that I always have to

851
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: send out there when we talk about Victor Mesa junior.

852
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: You talk to the individuals that saw them in Cuba,

853
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: and you talk to scouts that scouted Cuban players, and

854
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: they say that he is supposed to be the one

855
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: that's actually eventually going to be better, which is mind bodling.

856
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: And this is the second time I'll say this throughout

857
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 1: our podcast together. But it's a testament to how good

858
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: this kid can be. And it starts with I mean,

859
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: it starts with that beautiful swing. You know, anything with

860
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: him is pure projection, right. Unless you have been there

861
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: with him in extended spring and seen him every day,

862
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: you can't get a good feel on this kid. But

863
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 1: then you see a video like that and you see

864
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: a swing that could work, and then you put that

865
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: together with the reports from Cuba where he's really the

866
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: guy with the higher ceiling, and you see why it's

867
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: not just about Victor Victor Mesa, but also his little

868
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: brother as well.

869
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And one last thing before we moved moving forward,

870
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 3: and that's Will Banfield. We've been talking a lot about

871
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 3: his bat and not playing recently, but over his last

872
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 3: two weeks he's sitting three oh six. He's got four

873
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 3: extra base hits, including a triple and a homer. He

874
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 3: struck out a bunch, but he scored seven runs and

875
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 3: he's got eleven hits in his last nine games. He's

876
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 3: starting to play better baseball with the starting to hit

877
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 3: the ball actually, so that's exciting to see. I just

878
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 3: wanted to add that before he moved on.

879
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I was going to talk about the

880
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 2: triple and the double that he hit, but I didn't

881
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 2: even get to it because of the defense talk. But

882
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 2: there was video of that too, and he crushed those ball.

883
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, hopefully he can start heating up and

884
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 2: shown some power. Just would love to see that perfect.

885
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 4: Perfect.

886
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: So we're gonna we're gonna wrap up with my under

887
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: the Radar, but before that, I want to just end

888
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: out one news very quickly. One quick news that it's

889
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: of quite importance. Honestly, Joe Fisorow stated out that Nick

890
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: Knightder was placed on the IL right with the right

891
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: knee tendonitis. And the first thing that I pointed out

892
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: was that, well that might explain the early season struggles, right.

893
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 4: We spoke about that quite a lot.

894
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: This is a guy with excellent command, with excellent mechanics,

895
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: and yet he's walking four or five six hitters in

896
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: his first few starts. I don't know how much you

897
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: guys want to speak to how his planting leg and

898
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: his delivery, could you know, change what's happening here, But

899
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: something to monitor to see when he comes back, when

900
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: he's fully healed, if his command is back where we

901
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: expect it to be.

902
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.

903
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: Actually we haven't gotten any confirmation on when we can

904
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: expect him to be back, but just something that obviously

905
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: our listeners should know.

906
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I want to know. I'd like to know how

907
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 3: long he was battling the injury, if he was for

908
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 3: a long period of time or not.

909
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was definitely frustrating to watch him get

910
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 2: off to that kind of start, because I mean, you know,

911
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 2: I figured he was a candidate to be in the

912
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 2: Marlin's rotation this year and the way he was pitching,

913
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 2: and you know, if this injury kind of sits him

914
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 2: back a while, it'll be tough. But yeah, he's still

915
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 2: a good picture, there's no doubt about that. And you know,

916
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 2: hope he gets healthy and take your time and see

917
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 2: you back soon.

918
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 4: Dominating amen to that.

919
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: All right, So we're going to finish off with the

920
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: under the radar, okay, And I'm going to go on

921
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of a soapbox here, and I'm going

922
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 1: to do it a little differently than I've done.

923
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 4: It the last few weeks.

924
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 1: Right, the last few weeks, I give you the individual's name,

925
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: I give you how he's doing, and we talk about it. Today,

926
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to do a blind test. I'm not going

927
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: to give you the individual's name because, quite frankly, as

928
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: soon as I give you the individual's name, not you, fellows,

929
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: but people out there are going to tune out, or

930
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: they're not going to want to pay attention, or they're

931
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,720
Speaker 1: going to say, we've already given up on this person.

932
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 4: This is an.

933
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: Outfielder who has four plus tools. The last tool is

934
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: entirely limited. He just turned twenty three less than a

935
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: month ago. So he was twenty two, turned twenty three

936
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: less than a month ago, and he's currently.

937
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 4: Playing in Double A.

938
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: His stats one hundred at bats, so we have a

939
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: nice round number for you. His slash three oh eight

940
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: three sixty eight, three sixty five. Again, the slug's not

941
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: going to be there. He has no power, thirty two hits,

942
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 1: five extra base hits. He's four for four on solent

943
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: base attempts. He's walking at about an eight percent clip

944
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: and only striking out at a fifteen percent clip. Let

945
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: me tell you why this person is important to me,

946
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 1: because as soon as you mentioned the name Magneriicierra, everyone

947
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 1: tunes out. And as soon as you mentioned the name Magnerisier,

948
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: everyone thinks that what they saw at twenty one years

949
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: of age at the major league level and at twenty

950
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 1: two years of age at the major league level, because

951
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and the Marlins rushed him for his defense,

952
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: is apparently what we're going to see for the rest

953
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 1: of his career. I think that that's BS. I think

954
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: that the reality is that he was rushed and that

955
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: he was brought back down, and that he's an under

956
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: the radar guy because if you talk to anyone, no

957
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: one talks about Sierra being as part of this next

958
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 1: competitive core. If you go on Baseball America or Pipeline

959
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: and look at projected twenty twenty twenty twenty one lineups,

960
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,720
Speaker 1: Magnar Sierra is nowhere to be found.

961
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 4: So I get why people do this.

962
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: I understand, and you know he doesn't even have prospect

963
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: status anymore. I understand that part of it too, but

964
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous to me that we have given up on

965
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: an individual that has just turned twenty three and is

966
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: hitting the.

967
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:25,399
Speaker 4: Way that he hits.

968
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: Has plus B plus arm plus glove. He has an

969
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: average to above average hit twenty starting to show it

970
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: from the left side of the plate. You you all

971
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: need to, I guess, tell me where I'm wrong or

972
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 1: is it really that we've just all given up on

973
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,760
Speaker 1: someone because of their first impression.

974
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 2: I don't think you're wrong necessarily, but I mean the start,

975
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,439
Speaker 2: it's kind of come down to earth a little bit.

976
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 2: He was hitting up in the three fifties, you know,

977
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,479
Speaker 2: a few weeks, a week or two ago, and it's

978
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 2: down a little bit, down to three oh eight. What

979
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 2: the encouraging thing is the walks. He's taking more walks

980
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 2: than we would expect from him, and he's not striking

981
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 2: out a lot at all. And that's something that we

982
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 2: need from a lot of these guys is getting is

983
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 2: improving on their approach and improving their walk numbers and

984
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: also not striking out as much. So he's had a

985
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 2: really fine start to the year, and I think we

986
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 2: should keep let it keep happening, because if he's going

987
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 2: to keep hitting over three hundred, you know, well over

988
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 2: three hundred and getting you know, taking more walks and

989
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 2: getting on bas a ton, you know, he could be

990
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 2: a really nice piece going forward. But you know, there

991
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 2: are in the past couple of years there have been

992
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 2: some guys that have come over and kind of leap

993
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,720
Speaker 2: frogged him, So we'll see if he's really a long

994
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 2: term solution. But you know, if he has a really

995
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 2: nice year this year and some of the guys in

996
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 2: the outfield don't have a great years, or there's a

997
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 2: hole in the outfield, he could definitely fill it, you know,

998
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 2: at the beginning of next year. So you're right. But

999
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 2: still the way we've seen him perform in the majors

1000
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 2: is concerning. So I wouldn't say he's a long term

1001
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 2: answer as of now, but it's definitely good to see

1002
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 2: him hitting this well because that's something we need.

1003
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Max, Max has been the most curious case we've

1004
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 3: had since since rebol has started. Like if you go

1005
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 3: to any of these articles you read this week, you

1006
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 3: heard that Dan Greenley was doing data data driven trades

1007
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 3: for a while and talking about Max Er. He came

1008
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 3: up from Single A for a series against the Marlins

1009
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 3: from when he was on the Cardinals and actually absolutely

1010
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 3: lit us up. I remember that. A few months later

1011
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 3: he's traded, or say a year later, he's traded to

1012
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 3: Miami and moved straight to the forty man roster and

1013
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 3: playing in the major leagues. This kid was not meant

1014
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 3: to be there when he was in Saint Louis. He's

1015
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 3: just was. He hasn't been ready. This is the first

1016
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 3: time he's actually got a chance to play baseball where

1017
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 3: he's supposed to be, and he's shown the type of

1018
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 3: player he can be. If he's in Miami this year,

1019
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 3: I'll be a little upset, but I fully expect him

1020
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 3: to get some time in Miami before twenty nineteens up,

1021
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 3: just because he's got the experience and the forty man spot.

1022
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 3: But Max can play. He's got the most speed on

1023
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 3: the entire roster. And I hate it on this guy

1024
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 3: more than anybody last year, and I'll admit that to anybody,

1025
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 3: But I'm excited and I want to see him continue

1026
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 3: with this. I mean, coming down to earth a little

1027
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 3: bit last few weeks, but he's not striking out and

1028
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 3: if this guy can be a poor man's Jan Pierre,

1029
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 3: then I'm ecstatic. It's what he can be at his peak.

1030
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 3: And I think seeing what he's doing now Jacksonill is exciting.

1031
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 3: And I'm glad you talked about him a little bit

1032
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 3: a little bit, Danny, because people will write this guy

1033
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 3: off and they won't want to talk about him just

1034
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 3: because what they've seen at the major league level, and

1035
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 3: that's not what this guy is going forward, I don't think.

1036
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1037
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: And we started off the episode with patience, right, patients

1038
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: with six so Sanchez patience with Lewis Sprinson. I think

1039
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: this is where patience needs to be brought back in

1040
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: as well. You know, we have to have patients with him,

1041
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: and you guys both highlighted that we don't need to

1042
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: see him at Marlin Spark. We probably will because of

1043
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 1: the forty man because the off field right now is horrendous.

1044
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: Whatever the case is, he'll probably make his way, but

1045
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: it's just nice and we echoed this from the first

1046
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: podcast that we were together to see him where he's

1047
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: supposed to be for his developmental age and just for

1048
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: his development, so you know, keep him there, let him

1049
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: find that success, be patient. That's going to be our word,

1050
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: because it's the truth. You have to be patient with

1051
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: these prospects. And that's and again that's just why he's

1052
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: my under the radar guy. I do think he could

1053
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 1: be a poor man's Juan Pierre, you know, I do

1054
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: think that even if he's our fourth outfielder, he could

1055
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: bring that elite defense, that elite speed, and if he

1056
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,280
Speaker 1: keeps making contact at the rate that he is, maybe

1057
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: even pushed to be a little bit more than that.

1058
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: All right, Fellas you know, I always ended up with

1059
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: if there's anything left unsaid, make sure to say it

1060
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: anything you guys want to want to mention before we

1061
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: wrap up.

1062
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 3: Ah, I'm Brax and Garrett's Fish and Night and he's

1063
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,720
Speaker 3: starting off really well into doubleheader down Jat and Jupiter.

1064
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 3: So if you guys are tuning in, are tuned in

1065
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 3: to Night, hopefully his start continues. That's really about it for.

1066
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 2: Me, and I'm good. I'm gonna lay down and hopefully

1067
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 2: feel better. Ooh.

1068
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 3: Also, one one more last thing speaking of Jupiter, to

1069
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 3: stay tuned for next week. We are hopefully, if all

1070
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 3: things go to plan, we'll have you a rotation member

1071
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 3: on the show. Leave it at that we will go

1072
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 3: from there.

1073
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 4: Guys, Oh I love the teaser. I love it.

1074
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 1: We will make sure to leave you off with that cliffhanger.

1075
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 1: As always, go ahead and give us a like. Wherever
