1
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: Welcome into the latest episode of Fish Bites. My name

2
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: is Danny Martinez, and of course I am your gracious host.

3
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: You have clicked on an exciting episode, and if you're

4
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: listening on Serious XM, you chose the right time to

5
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: put it on channel one forty five because this is

6
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: our September special and it might not be our trade deadline,

7
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: it might not get the same hoopla as the draft

8
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: or opening week, but September is unique in the baseball

9
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: community because whether you are a competing playoff chasing team

10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: like the Atlanta Braves or a rebuilding team like your

11
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: Miami Marlins, September tells you something. Number one, it tells

12
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: you the depth of the organization and we'll talk about why.

13
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: And number two, it gives you just the smallest glimpse,

14
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: the smallest look into the future of what in particular

15
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: or rebuilding team might look like moving forward. So our

16
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: dialogue piece today is really going to look at all

17
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: the parameters of September. I'm going to give you a

18
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: list of the possible expanded rosters that the Marlins might

19
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: look at, some of the call ups that might have

20
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: their due in September. Get a little taste of the

21
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: cup of coffee in the big leagues. I'm also going

22
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: to give you some news on Pablo Lopez, which by

23
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: the time you hear this on Monday, has likely been

24
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: made public, but good news. He's coming back sooner than

25
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: you may think. I'm going to talk about Jose Uranio's

26
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: role within the organization, something that I have been pounding

27
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: the table for. It seems like my echoes from the

28
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: top of the mountains have finally been heard in Little

29
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Havana as Jose Urani will have a very different role

30
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: when he comes back. And we're also going to take

31
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: a look at some of the continued performances of key

32
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: future pieces right September when it comes to that will

33
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: not changed drastically. A Marlins fans perspective on the games,

34
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: this entire year has been about developing future key pieces

35
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: and moditoring their progress, so we're gonna continue to double

36
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: down on that. Of course, we're gonna end up with

37
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: our pitching performance of the week, which you know, hint, hint,

38
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: there's an All Star involved, and we're gonna talk about

39
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: a lot of hitting. When you score nineteen runs on

40
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: a quote unquote competing Phillies team, you're gonna have a

41
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: lot of individuals that had a solid week of performance.

42
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: So by far the longest list of nominations and nominees

43
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: that I have for you. But let's kick off, and

44
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: let's start off with our September special. The question really here,

45
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: posed by one of the listeners, was, you know the

46
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: dog days of summer are over. What am I looking

47
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: for in September? I have the answers. Number one. The

48
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: first thing you're looking for, and it's the most immediate one,

49
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: is is expanded rosters. This is the last year that

50
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: they have this expanded roster system in play, but we're

51
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: going to talk about the rules for this year, right

52
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: because next year they're going to limit it to two

53
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: or three spots a team. All of the teams will

54
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: have the same universal spots that they can fill out.

55
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: But that's for next year. That's for future Danny to

56
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: talk about. Current Danny gets to explain just the expanded rosters,

57
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: and it's pretty simple to explain. On August thirty, First,

58
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: you have a forty man roster. Everyone knows that you

59
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: always have a forty man roster throughout the year, but

60
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: you'll only choose twenty five of those forty to be

61
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: your active roster that can play on any given day.

62
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: September first comes and everything changes because whoever was on

63
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: your forty man roster on August thirty first can all

64
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden be on your active roster. In theory,

65
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: the Marlins can roll out forty men to play on

66
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: September first, on September second, on September third. The issue

67
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: with this is really competitive balance here. And I was

68
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: on the podcast with UK Mimy Marlins. You should go

69
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: follow them on Twitter and listen to their podcast. It's

70
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: found almost anywhere that you can find podcasts. And I

71
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: expressed that I recall seeing a Marlins game where, for

72
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: whatever reason, the Marlins did not want to expand their roster,

73
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: so they had twenty five players after September first playing,

74
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: but they were playing someone in the NL East. I

75
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: don't remember who it is off the top of my head,

76
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: who had called up around ten or fifteen guys. So

77
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 1: they had an almost forty roster that they were competing

78
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: against with twelve, fifteen, sixteen arms in the pen, and

79
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: the Marlins were unable to combat that. They were stuck

80
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: with twenty five. Now, the reason that MLB does this

81
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: and has done it up until this year. Is because

82
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: when you are playing in a playoff chase, you need

83
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: as many healthy arms as you can. And a good

84
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: example of you know, fatigue is actually with the Marlins.

85
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: They've used their pen a lot, a lot. Donnie likes

86
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: going to the pen, and I'm assuming the GM likes

87
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: saving some of the young arms innings as well. But

88
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: by this time you need reinforcements. And that's why the

89
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: forty man roster expands. Now once again, this will be

90
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: done with after next year after this year, as next

91
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: year the will only be two three spots they'll be

92
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: given to each team. But for this year, we get

93
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: to be creative. For this year, we get to discuss

94
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: all of the options on the forty man at the

95
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: moment as we speak right now, as you're listening to

96
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: me in your car or wherever you might be, that

97
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: can be called up. And I'm gonna start with what

98
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: would be the more exciting options. Let me be honest

99
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: with you right away, I'm not sure any of these

100
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: guys are gonna get called up. If I was a

101
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: betting man, I would say that only one or two

102
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: of these individuals would get called up. And even then,

103
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: I would take the under. But we're gonna start right

104
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: at the top because that's what you want to listen to.

105
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: Listen hiss Whu Sanchez, Hissu Sanchez. If you somehow got

106
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: to see him at Marlins Park in twenty nineteen, it

107
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: would be one of the most exciting debuts that we

108
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: have ever seen. I mean I personally, if you listen

109
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: to any of their stripes, no, you know how I

110
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: feel about Hissu Sanchez. Susanchez is twenty one years of age.

111
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: He is an elite hitting prospect. He has a good

112
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: power slightly above average, and he has good defense, defense,

113
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: good arm, good glove, He's okay with the wheels. This

114
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: is someone who is going to be a core piece,

115
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: middle of the lineup bat for your Mabby Marlins. We

116
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: can't say that about every prospect. I'm going to say

117
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: it about this one. If he somehow got added to

118
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: the active roster with the expanded rosters, it would be phenomenal.

119
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: But I don't want to play heartbreak right down, it's

120
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Number one, I don't think it would have

121
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: happened even prior to his injury. But number two, he

122
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: got injured you know when everyone started getting excited because

123
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: unfortunately Brian Anderson got hurt in the middle of the game,

124
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: and it just coincidentally happened that Hissue Sanchez was pooled

125
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: from Triple A at that time, which, for what it's worth,

126
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: a twenty one year old in Triple A should tell

127
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: you everything you know you need to know about Hissusanchez.

128
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: He gets pooled around that time, and while everyone is

129
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: making a big us about it, I was already aware

130
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: that that was not going to be the case that unfortunately,

131
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: it was something else, and it was not the something

132
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: that we were excited about. He was hurt. It was

133
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: a hamstring situation. We don't know the severity of it.

134
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: I believe that Craig miss is the first one to

135
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: publicly put that out, but Hesus Sanchez was likely never

136
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: going to be called up after this hamstring issue, regardless

137
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: of how exciting that fantasy would be, I doubt that

138
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: we see it. The second most exciting option that the

139
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: Marlins have on the forty man who could be called

140
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: up theoretically is Monte Harrison. Monte Harrison is who I

141
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: believe will eventually, along with Isan Diaz, really be the

142
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: cornerstone of that Yelich deal. And I know that as

143
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: soon as I say that, you roll your eyes, listen,

144
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: I get it. I fall victim to always bring up

145
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: Yelich when we're talking about these guys as well. But

146
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: it's something that we probably should stop doing less because

147
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: the reality is that Monte Harrison is Sandias are their

148
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: own player. Issandias is already doing much better than the

149
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: first few panics that the individuals had. And we'll talk

150
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: about those numbers in a second as well well. But

151
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: Monte Harrison is going to be special. He showed that

152
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: last year, he improved upon that this year, and if

153
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: it were not for the injury concerns, I believe Monte

154
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: honestly would already be dawning a number one or whatever

155
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: number he wants, or three or six, whatever he wants

156
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: up at the major league level. I guess he's onto

157
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: number one, so you know, number three or number six

158
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: up at the major league level, because of his talent,

159
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: because of his ability. Let's not forget he was an

160
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: All Star this year. However, he got hurt. The good

161
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: news here, just in case you haven't heard this quite yet,

162
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: is that he's rehabbing already. He actually had a start today,

163
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: got on base, was looking good, was looking good. He's

164
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: not at New Orleans. He's rehabbing. I believe, either in

165
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: Jupiter or Jacksonville. This is good to see now. Prior

166
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: to that news, prior to him rehabbing, I would have

167
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: told you the chances of seeing him in September zero,

168
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: because you don't rush a twenty three year old who's

169
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: coming off of either a wrist injury, a hand injury,

170
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: a leg injury. You just don't do it. However, now

171
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: it's not even September yet, it's late August, and he's

172
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: ready rehabbing. If he really shows that he's okay, if

173
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: he then gets you know, not promoted, but sent back

174
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: to where he belongs, which is New Orleans at age

175
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: twenty three, and you see that that bat picks up

176
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: right where it left off at an all stark caliber level,

177
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: why not? Why not? I mean, it would by far

178
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: be the most exciting option, because I don't believe his

179
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: Susanchez is a possibility at all. Really, it would be

180
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: the most exciting option to see Monte Harrison up in

181
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: the big leagues, even if it's, like I said, for

182
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: a little taste and a little cup of coffee, even

183
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: if it's one week after the New Orleans season's about

184
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: to wrap up. Matsa Harrison can play at the big

185
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: league level with that glove, with that defense, with the

186
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: speed he has pop. We're always gonna have questions about

187
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: his big swing, but I think it would be something

188
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: worth looking at. However, gonna be heartbreaker. Again, I don't

189
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: think that they rush him. Listen, the Marlins have been

190
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: very patient with their hitters recently. Not this is something

191
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: that they were not with last year, but this year

192
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: they've been patient. I'm not quite certain that they would

193
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: rush him, particularly when we understand that he's coming off

194
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: of an injury. So yes, Monta Harrison would be the

195
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: second most exciting option, maybe even the first, quite frankly,

196
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: but unlikely.

197
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: Now.

198
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: The last three are prospects that I do believe could

199
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: get a call, and they're exciting. I mean, listen, yes,

200
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: they're exciting in a different way than top prospects like Hey,

201
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: sus Sanchez and Monta Harrison. But George Guzman would be

202
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: exciting to go see at Marlott's Park. Mags Sierra that speed.

203
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: If he suddenly can generalize what he's doing at the

204
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: minor league level to the major league level, you're talking

205
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: about someone who at the very least can be a

206
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: solid fourth outfielder with elite glove and elite base running skills.

207
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: And then Robert Dugger. You know, Robert Dugger is someone

208
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: who goes under I guess we could say under the

209
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: waves that are crashing upon this Marlin's farm system of

210
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: the Trevor Rodgers and the Braxon Garrett and the Edward

211
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: Cabreras and the six Do Sanchez and the Nick Niders.

212
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: But Robert Douger is someone who I can see coming

213
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: up and being a consistent four or five. He made

214
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: that spot start in the doubleheader, I believe against the

215
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: Mets earlier in the season, not too long ago. He

216
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: didn't look necessarily severely overmatched. Sure he didn't light anyone

217
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: on fire, but he held his own. I think that

218
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: if the Marlins go with a six man rotation, he

219
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: should be someone that would be called up in September

220
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: and let him let him go, let him show you

221
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: what he can do, and let's see if he can

222
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: generalize any kind of success in September into spring training,

223
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: and you never know, that might be your four or

224
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: five for next year. Now. The other two was George Guzmann.

225
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: George Guzmann, if you heard the last episode of Running

226
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: Their Stripes, was my under the radar guy, because he

227
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: is putting up numbers comparable to individuals that are top

228
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: one hundred fringe prospects like a Trevor Rodgers, like a

229
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: Brax and Garrett. The innings, the strikeouts, the walks plus

230
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: hits per innings pitch, these are all compared terrible to

231
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: two elite prospects who the Morments have drafted into the

232
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: first round back to back years, in Trevor Rodgers and

233
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: Braxton Garrett. The difference there is the control because you

234
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: know what, Rogers and Garrett aren't throwing one hundred miles

235
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: an hour. They're not trying to throw wipe out breaking

236
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: speed pitches. So when you're not trying to handle that,

237
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: I guess Rogers really does have. Both of them have

238
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: a heck of a curveball, so I take that back,

239
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: But not a lot of quick movement in their pitches. Yeah,

240
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: you have to kind of develop a little bit. George

241
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: Guzman's only twenty three, Let's see what he becomes. And

242
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: quite frankly, if we're trying to look at the lists

243
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: of most exciting and then most probable. George Guzman has

244
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: the likeliest chance of being the highest excited on that

245
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: list and the one that gets picked. So I would

246
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: be not overly surprised if we see George Guzman, even

247
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: if it's just a few relief outings. Now. Do I

248
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: think they continue to develop him as a starter, Absolutely,

249
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: I think that they should do that. But remember that

250
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: San Dielo Contra had a very similar makeup and a

251
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: very similar development, where the Cardinals brought Sandy up the

252
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: year before, they actually traded him in that following off

253
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: season as a pen arm, just to get him a

254
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: taste of the big leagues, of facing opposing big league hitters,

255
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: and then that was really his benchmark. Where after that,

256
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, come get your active roster spot because at

257
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: spring training you can win this. I think the same

258
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: thing can happen with George Guzman this year. He is

259
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: the likeliest of the most exciting to get called up.

260
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 3: Swaying and I miss strike three. Thirteen strikeouts for George

261
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 3: Guzman and six no hit innings against Mississippi. What an

262
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 3: effort by the Miami Marlins. Number seventeen prospect. He has

263
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 3: been unhittable.

264
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: But what would mister Danny GM really do well at

265
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: the end of the day, And this will be boring

266
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: for you guys. I wouldn't rush any of these I

267
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't rush any of them. If they deserve it, then

268
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: they get the call.

269
00:13:59,240 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: Right.

270
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: Monteherr, since since spring training of this year, has been saying, listen,

271
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: I'm here, I belong here, I'm gonna fight for this.

272
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: If he comes back from his rehab lights the world

273
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: on fire, then New Orleans season is over and he's

274
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: just sitting there. Call him up. Same with Guzman, same

275
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: with anybody else. But from a conservative standpoint, I would

276
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: simply just go with Robert Dugger, go six man rotation.

277
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: He'd be the first person I call up. You know,

278
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: no disrespect to Hector Noissi, but be honest with yourself.

279
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this, you tell me you tune

280
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: in every single time, and you stick every single time

281
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: for Hector and Ouisi. I don't. I don't think so.

282
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: If I'm being honest, you should, because just because Hector

283
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: and Noisy is on the mound doesn't mean that you

284
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: don't get to see Eastan Dias and the other individuals.

285
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: But you know, it's not a Pablo Lopez, it's not

286
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: a Caleb Smith, it's not a San Dia Contrera. If

287
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: you bring up Robert Duggar, I think more people not

288
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: only would tune in, but it's a little bit of excitement.

289
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: So that's the first thing I would do. The second

290
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: thing I would do is I would finally bring in

291
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: the reinforcements for the pen. Take advantage of the expanded

292
00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: roster Donnie has utilized. To put it nicely, this pen

293
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: over and over again, give them a break. Call up,

294
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, a Kinley and Keller for good and keep

295
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: him up there. Call up your relief options. Even if

296
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: you have to put him on the forty, that's probably

297
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. But any relief option you have on

298
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: the forty, like a Keller and like a Kindley, call

299
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: them up, utilize them. Give some rest to the young

300
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: and veteran arms that you have at the big league

301
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: level who has been used and maybe overused. And then lastly,

302
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: for a little bit of excitement. You know what I

303
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: do think I would call up Sierra and even possibly Gouzbun.

304
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: I think Sierra, you know I've been preaching from the beginning,

305
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: especially on earning their stripes, to be patient with him.

306
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: The Cardinals rushed him, the Marlins rushed him. Then the

307
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: Marlins finally reassessed him and did the right thing by

308
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: sticking him in double A this year and then promoting

309
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: him to Triple A when he was ready. I think

310
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: I'd be okay with him, calling up a nice, solid, defensive,

311
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: uh speedster in the outfield, and then maybe Guzman. And

312
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: maybe that's just me being a little bit more of

313
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: a fan, but I would be excited for George Guzman. Really,

314
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: I would be excited to go see him. So those

315
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: would be the individuals I would call a Robert Duggar,

316
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: a few pen pieces like Keller and Kinley, and then Magner,

317
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: Sierra and George Guzman would love to see hey, sus

318
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: Sanchez would love to see him onto Harrison, but I

319
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: don't think it really happens. The second thing to look

320
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: forward to in September is the news that Pablo Lopez

321
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: is coming back again. It's what's tough about recording these

322
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: right now. This is juicy, fun content that I get

323
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: to break to you by tomorrow. I'm sure everyone has

324
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: discussed this. Pablo Lopez will be starting. He is the

325
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: starter against the Reds on Monday, and he's good. I've

326
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: discussed this of it. You know this. You know this

327
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: from me. I love myself some Pablo Lopez, and I

328
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: love this story. I love this story. The fact that

329
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: he's going to pitch again, not even in September, in August.

330
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: I would have never thought that would be the case.

331
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: Him and I sometimes send messages back and forth on

332
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: Twitter through private messages, and I let him know, you know,

333
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: we're rooting for you. I hope you're doing well. When

334
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: the injury came out, I sent him one. I sent

335
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: him one. I just wanted to let him know that,

336
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, I was praying for him, that I was

337
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: hoping things were well. And if I'm being quite honest,

338
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: I wasn't very optimistic. Of course I wasn't. My message

339
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: to him but to myself that I would see him

340
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: pitch again this year. I thought he was up for

341
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: the year. I was wrong. He's back and there are

342
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: three things that I would want you to look for.

343
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: One and actually there are three c's. I'm gonna keep

344
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: it easy for you. I'm gonna keep it easy for

345
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: you one. Comfort, you know, you could apply this to anyone.

346
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 1: I think Pablo's gonna be special. I think Pablo's going

347
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: to be a one to two or three for the

348
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 1: Marlins moving forward. His fielding in independent pitching numbers, his

349
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: k per nine, his home runs per nine, I mean

350
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 1: everything shows you that this guy can be a big

351
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: time focal point of the Marlin staff moving far. Oh

352
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: and by the way, he's twenty three, Benditris, he is

353
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: twenty three. The guys we were just talking about, George

354
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: Guzman and Robert Duggar who we were saying, Oh, maybe

355
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: they might get called up. Monte Harrison, Oh they might

356
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: get called up. Boy, don't need to rush them. They're

357
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: all twenty three as well. But Pablo Lopez is twenty

358
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: three and has already done it. He's already shoved at

359
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: the major league level. He's gonna be special. So the

360
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: three seas I start off with comfort you. Comfort can

361
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: be applied to everyone. That's a lazy one on my end,

362
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: anyone that's coming off of an injury. Comfort is important.

363
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: But just because it could be applied to anyone doesn't

364
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: mean that we don't apply it to Pablo. He's not

365
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: the exception. You want to see what he looks like

366
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: on the mound and on the dugout. Do you remember

367
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: pre injury, Pablo smiling all the time, always full of composure,

368
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: never let the game get to himself. I want to

369
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: make sure that there isn't anything physically going on with

370
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: him that takes away from that first sea, from that comfort,

371
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: from that individual that we always saw in Pablo day.

372
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that his comfort is the

373
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: same way it was pre injury. The second sea is control,

374
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: and it control is a big part of everyone's game again,

375
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: but it's a significant part of Pablo's. The same way

376
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: that we always discuss the comparison of Sandy al Contrera,

377
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: his stuff, his velocity versus Jordan Yamamoto. Sandy can get

378
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: away sometimes without having control because guess what he throws

379
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: ninety nine and good luck trying to tee that up.

380
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: That's why he's one of the leaders in Major League

381
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: Baseball in hard hits against people just don't barrel up

382
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: balls against him. It's why he's been so successful. Well,

383
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about him later on. Yammoto, on

384
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: the other hand, we've seen some of the inconsistencies because

385
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: if his command is not there, Guess what, it's a

386
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: lot easier to tee up in ninety one fastball mild

387
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: pro fastball without a lot of movement than it is

388
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: Sandy's coming in at ninety seven and the movement looks

389
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: like little humb and bird coming at you. There's a

390
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: difference there. This is applied, although to a lesser severity

391
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: with Poblo. Pablo's not throwing ninety nine past to you.

392
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: Pablo's not throwing ninety seven past you. Pablo when he

393
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: gets amped up, maybe touches ninety six. This is something

394
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: to understand with him. Control needs to be where it

395
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: needs to be at and quite frankly, a lot of

396
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: individuals kind of freaked out because the control wasn't there

397
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,239
Speaker 1: during his rehab starts. Now I said it even on

398
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: this podcast. I believe I said it on the UK

399
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: podcast as well. I do not worry about veteran pictures,

400
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: regardless of the age. Pablo knows what he's doing. He's

401
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: a big leaguer. In rehab starts, they're working on very

402
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: unique specific things. They're working on even mechanics, on getting

403
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: their feeling back on certain pitchures. So I didn't worry

404
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: about the command, but it is still something to look at. Control.

405
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: So first, comfort, second control, third is complete. The question

406
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: here is is there any part of post injury Pablo

407
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: that does not match up with pre injury Pablo. It

408
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: is the velocity down? Is the control an issue? How

409
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: about this is the velocity maintained after inning number three?

410
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: These are all things that you want to ask yourself

411
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: as a fan. Listen, Malstademyer, the coach, a pitching coach

412
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: is looking at one hundred other different things, things that

413
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: you and I don't know anything about. But as a fan,

414
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: these are the three seas that you could look at

415
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: when someone's coming back from an injury, especially with Pablo, Comfort, control,

416
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: and complete. I want to make sure that that fastball

417
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: has the same life in the sixth inning on September, whenever,

418
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: whenever he pitches than it did in July or in

419
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: March or in April. I want to make sure nine July,

420
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: but in March or in April. I want to make

421
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: sure he's the same picture, that he's complete, that we're

422
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: not looking at a partial version of Pablo Lopez. I'm

423
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: not necessarily concerned about the performance. You recognize there that

424
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: the acronym was not CCCP with the P being the performance. No,

425
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: it's just those three. That's all I care about with

426
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: Pablo in September. If his performance isn't there, so be

427
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: it is someone coming back again at age twenty three

428
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: from rehab from an injury. They have the off season

429
00:21:54,400 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: to figure that out, comfort control complete. I have for

430
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: quite some time now, as we step away from Pablo Lopez,

431
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: been pounding the table and at the mountain top on

432
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: my soapbox, which adds a few interest to my height,

433
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: yelling that Jose Urania needs to be in the pen

434
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: or needs to be a closer. Those who love Jose

435
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: Urania would come back at me and say, you just

436
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: don't want him to be in the rotation. You are

437
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: acting like this is a demotion. You are saying that

438
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: he's not worthy, none of it. I think Jose Urania

439
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: could be in the rotation. I think Jose Irania on

440
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: his best day could be a three, maybe a four

441
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: or five down the road. But what I want from

442
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: Jose Urania is to put him in the best position possible.

443
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something, from the bottom of

444
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: my heart, it's not just me who thinks this. I've

445
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: been at spring training talking to a scout kind opposing

446
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: team scout. Actually I'm not sure if he knew that

447
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: I was with the margin now, but nonetheless talking about

448
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: the fact that they could view Jose Urania as as

449
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: a closer, thinking about even bringing him on as a

450
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: closer as a pen arm. Why because when you suddenly

451
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: take ninety six ninety cent prior fastball a lot of movements,

452
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: sometimes he doesn't even know where it's going. And you

453
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: take the secondaries that he has been able to master

454
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: as he's matured as a pitcher, and you put it

455
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: for three opposing hitters. Good freaking luck, good luck. It's

456
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. It's not going to be good.

457
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 2: Now.

458
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: Can he walk a storm and create an issue? Absolutely?

459
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: Get ready for some heart palpitations. When was the last

460
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: time that we had a really risky closer? I guess

461
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: all the time, is really the answer, But I always

462
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: go back to the closer man. I'm forgetting his name.

463
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: That was like he committed fraud with his name and

464
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: his real name Oviedo I think wasn't really his name.

465
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: Whatever the case was, I remember him in particular. Get

466
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: ready for those palpitations with the Marlins. Again. If Jose

467
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: Raider is a closer, but guess what, he could be dominant,

468
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: He could be done. It's something I've been saying for

469
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: a while, and it seems like they finally listened. Craig,

470
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: miss Joe fasor always to people that I go to,

471
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: and they are also reporting the same things that I've

472
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: been saying. Jose Urania will come back, and he will

473
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: come back as either a closer I believe Donnie said,

474
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: or as a backpiece of the bullpen. Really, the writing

475
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: was on the wall before Donnie even confirmed it. All

476
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: of his rehab starts. Go look back at them. Make

477
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: sure I'm not lying to you. Have been one inning.

478
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: It's been one inning. He's going to come back in

479
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: that type of fashion, and it is the best place

480
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: for him, because, make no mistake, with this move, Urania

481
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: goes from a wild back end starter with very little

482
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: trade value to someone who could be a massive trade

483
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: ship this next season at the winter meetings or during

484
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: the season if he's coming out of the pen and

485
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: is utilized correctly. The other part of that for the

486
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: fans to say, oh, here we go, Danny's trading out

487
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: other veteran. No, he is young enough and he could

488
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: He's just good enough that he could be a piece

489
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: of that next competitive Marlin's bullpen. Now, we still need

490
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: to see it, and he still needs to come in

491
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: September and perform. But what I'm telling you is that

492
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: all the ingredients are there for you to make a

493
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: perfect pizza, and that if he comes out and if

494
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: he has the showings that we have, that is going

495
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: to be a five star pizza. And either Marlins are

496
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: going to enjoy it or they're going to trade it

497
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: off for a flame Andgnjong. But something is going to

498
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: happen with this, because at the end of the day,

499
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: they have finally identified something in Jose Urania what a

500
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: lot of us have seen for a while, and they're

501
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: finally going to maximize his value. The Marlins have a

502
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: lot of exciting things that could happen in September, whether

503
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: it's a Heesus Sanchez or a Monte Harrison, whether it's

504
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: a Robert Dugger or George Guzmann. But two of the

505
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: exciting pieces is one the most exciting for me, which

506
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: is Pabolopez coming back and two us being able to

507
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: unravel Jose Urania two point zero as a closer. I'll

508
00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: add one more thing for the random fan in baseball,

509
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: even the die hard fan in baseball. If you're a

510
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: Marlins fan and you talk to that die hard fan,

511
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: let's call him John, and you tell John, hey, do

512
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: you want to know a secret? When the Marlins are

513
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: competitive again? One, two, three years down the line, they

514
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: are going to have an incredibly dynamic duo in the

515
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: bullpen and it's going to be led by Jose Urania

516
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: and Ryan Stannik. Get ready to get laughed at because

517
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: that what will happen. I'm here to tell you that

518
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: that could very well be the case because with Ryan Stanek,

519
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: forget his first initial impressions. Ryan Stanik is still the

520
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: Ryan Stanik that was with the Rays. Okay, he has

521
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: to learn alfa Ro, he has to learn holiday. They

522
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: have to learn how to better maximize each other the

523
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: way that the Rays were doing. But nothing has gone

524
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: away with him and Jose Urania. This is again all

525
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: just predictions, but really, take it from me, is going

526
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: to be good in the pen, if not great. You're

527
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: talking about two guys with filthy movement, with velocity that

528
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: can melt lava. Yeah, I'm sure, a scientist would tell

529
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: me that that's actually not possible, but you get the

530
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: point coming out of the pen, and that's not including

531
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: the possibility of a George Guzman possibly being there, maybe

532
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: even a Sandia al Contrea, who I don't believe actually

533
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: ends up in the pen, but many people do because

534
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: of all the talent coming up, and if not, then

535
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: a younger guy like inn Edward Cabrera. The point being,

536
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: the Marlins pitching is ridiculous and the pen is not

537
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: going to be an exception to that. Get excited for September.

538
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: It'll give us some of those answers. The third thing

539
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: to look into September is what we've been looking at

540
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: this entire year. It is the continued performances and development

541
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: of key future pieces. Because listen, at the end of

542
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: the day, September is exactly what the entire season has

543
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: been about. It's about watching the future pieces develop with

544
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: the occasional at batter game started by someone who is

545
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,479
Speaker 1: irrelevant to that conversation, when again, I'm sorry to keep

546
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: picking on you, brother, I really am hector and OISI

547
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: comes on and starts a game, probably not as excited

548
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: as when a Pablo Lopez or Caleb Smith or someone

549
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: of the future does. When Ael Walker goes up to Bad,

550
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: who's been fantastic, fantastic leader, He's actually performed well on

551
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: field this year as well as very good signing. When

552
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: he's up to Bad, you're not necessarily as invested as

553
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: an Isan Diaz because, quite frankly, Neil Walker likely won't

554
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: be here past the end of this year. He won't

555
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: be Hector Noisi won't be. And yet this is part

556
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: of the plan, now you know. Part of this is

557
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: also dampened by the fact that Brian Anderson got hurt

558
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: and is likely out for the season. It's unfortunate number

559
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: one because he's he's a leader. Number two because he's

560
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: the best player that the Marlins have, and number three

561
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: because he was posting career highs in almost all meaningful

562
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: offensive stats anything you want to look at, slugging, oh ys,

563
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: weighted runs created, plus home runs. You know he was

564
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: going to go for twenty five plus his second year

565
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: in the league. Brian Anderson was going to hit twenty

566
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: five one runs playing half of his game in Marlin's Park.

567
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: Consider that. So he gets dampened by that, But there's

568
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: still players to see. Yeah, Easton Diez for one, who

569
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: has started to perform better than those believes after, you know,

570
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: after they started panicking about him. Over the last five games,

571
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: he has just as many walks as he does ks.

572
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: Actually scratch that, he has one more strike up than

573
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: he has walks, three to four. He has added a

574
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: few hits throughout that time, including that huge three run

575
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: game tying homer that brought back the Fish from seven

576
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: to zero. It was seven to four at that time, obviously,

577
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: and then he boomed. He hits it seven to seven.

578
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: The great game that that was, and all of a sudden,

579
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: that fantastic fielder that we saw in the minor leagues

580
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: is back. He's back, and he's making slick plays, slicks,

581
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: diving grabs and sliding grabs and behind over the back.

582
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: We're starting to see the isandas that we saw at

583
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: the minor leagues, with his plate discipline number one, his

584
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: plate approach number two, his hitting for the opposite field,

585
00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: his power, and his defense. That's probably the one guy

586
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: you're looking at primarily.

587
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: D ash fly ball, right field, three run over run,

588
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: three sundays on the violenteer.

589
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 3: All the way back.

590
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: We're time at seven.

591
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 3: Ell, this young man has a flair for the dramatic.

592
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: My goodness, but he's not the only one. Listen Lewis

593
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: Brinson for all of his concerns and for what it's worth,

594
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna plug something Eli wrote because it was fantastic.

595
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,239
Speaker 1: Eli wrote a piece on fish stripes dot com. Make

596
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: sure and go you find it. It's Lewis Printon. It's

597
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: really it's a dynamic thought of re re establishing, reassessing,

598
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: reimagining what Lewis Prinston's ceiling probably is. And the reality

599
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: is that there's a lot more negative on that piece

600
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: than it is positive. By agree with every single word,

601
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: and even with agreeing with every single word, I'm still

602
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: gonna see him because the kid's still twenty five five

603
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: years of age. The young man is still twenty five

604
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: years of age and could still be something here, even

605
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: if his new ceiling is as a fourth outfielder. It's

606
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: a mighty fall from when he was traded in a

607
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: consensus top five, top ten outfield in all of baseball,

608
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: across all of the sites, but still someone to watch.

609
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: Then you have a Garrett Cooper, you have a hitting

610
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: Harold's and Mires, you have the entire pitching staff. Listen,

611
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: if the Marlins go with this idea that I presented

612
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: of the six man rotation, how beautiful would that be?

613
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: A six man rotation where you bring up a Robert

614
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: Dugger You have a Robert Duggar, a Caleb Smith, a

615
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: san Dia Contrea, a Jordan Yamamoto, and Aliaiser Hernandeuz which

616
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: had a great performance. Again, he's had a few back

617
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: to back really solid performances. That's exciting. It's exciting to

618
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: be able to see almost every single time that someone

619
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: comes up, maybe without the name no Essi, you're excited

620
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: to see it. And then, lastly, you know the backstop

621
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: of this franchise with George Affero. At this moment, while

622
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: we are talking right now, while you are listening, as

623
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: long as you haven't listened a week or a month

624
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: in advance or later on, he's putting up career highs

625
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: and batting average and slugging percentage in home runs, and

626
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: he's close to his career high in isolated power, which

627
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: measures when it sounds like how much power production you're producing. Now,

628
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: on the opposite of that, he's caaying and striking out

629
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: entirely too much. That's well documented on with me. He's

630
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: not walking enough also, something that's well documented on with me,

631
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: And for all of those career bests home runs and

632
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: power and slugging and batting average, he really won't survive

633
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: to continue those career best if he continues to struggle

634
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: with his approach. And yet, and yet, he's something you

635
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: want to monitor because the reality is that there's no

636
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: one coming behind him pounding on the door. Now, we

637
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: can't say that about everyone. Look, listen, los Prinson is

638
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: probably very aware of all of the individuals and the

639
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: massive talent that's coming up behind him. George Raff rows

640
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: and looking over his shoulders, and really, at his age

641
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: and with the above average to elite defense that he

642
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: has and that elite arm that he has, and the

643
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: fact that he has very good rapport with the pitching staff,

644
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't have any reason to be looking over his shoulder.

645
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: Eli Susman again, I'm just going to talk about him.

646
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: Allowed today put out the concept of him maybe being

647
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: a platoon guy, and I don't really disagree. I don't.

648
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: I think that if the Marlins going look in the

649
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: free agency market and try to consider a good platoon

650
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: situation for Alfie, that they should do that that he

651
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: has shown enough to be a core piece, but that

652
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: there should be some security blanket here. I don't disagree.

653
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: I also just don't think that we can put that

654
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: ceiling on him quite yet. He's putting career highs for

655
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: a reason. The things that need to change. The plate

656
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: approach is incredibly simple to see, right, So we've identified

657
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: what needs to change. Now will it change? Yeah? Unlikely.

658
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: But if he just gives me even a low thirties

659
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: k percentage, with the power and defense that he has,

660
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: he's someone that's not going anywhere. September really is about

661
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on the future, a future which, if

662
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm being entirely honest with you, should begin looking much

663
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: brighter by opening day twenty twenty. Now, much brighter to

664
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 1: me does not mean competitive. What much brighter to me

665
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: means is more wins, a clearer direction, and maybe maybe

666
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 1: staying around five hundred or five to ten games for

667
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: five hundred for the entirety of the year. If the

668
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: Miami Marlins continue producing the farm system that the way

669
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: that they will or the way that they have rather,

670
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: and the rotation continues being a top thirteen rotation in

671
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 1: all of baseball, at this age, even with the injuries

672
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: that they've dealt with, and the hitting continues to develop

673
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: because Brian Anderson developed this year, George Alfaro for all

674
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: of his faults, developed from last year, Harold Ramirez developed,

675
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: Garrett Cooper developed, Monte Harrison had a great year. If

676
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: that continues to happen, twenty twenty is not going to

677
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: be about losing. Twenty twenty is gonna be about winning.

678
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: And it won't be as much as we want it

679
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: to be, and it won't be about five hundred, and

680
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: it won't be about competing, but it'll give you the glimpse,

681
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: the glimpse of the future. That glimpse. It starts this

682
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: September the pitching performance of the week. I usually have

683
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: a few lined up for you, but yeah, that's not

684
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: the case this week. Look, there's only one guy, and

685
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: I gave it to you away in the intro because

686
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: I told you that he's quite the star. He's the

687
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: All Star, because he's the twenty nineteen Marlin's All Star.

688
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: And that's San Diel Contreia against the dominant Atlanta lineup,

689
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: only a two weeks removed from already seeing them, which

690
00:35:55,120 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: again is an advantage to the hitter. He goes seven innings, scoreless,

691
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: seven strikeouts to only two walks, only allowing three hits.

692
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: Oh and remember he's twenty three. Oh and remember he'll

693
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: be twenty four the entirety of next year. By the

694
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: time that I'm recording this next year, Sandy, who's already

695
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: an All Star and putting up very good numbers, will

696
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: still be twenty.

697
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 2: Four to two. Pitch is driven out toward right center,

698
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 2: but over Anderson. He's there, He's got it, and a

699
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 2: contra is out of the inning. Sandy al Kantra retires

700
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 2: a Kunya, leaving a tying man at first. He's through

701
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: seven tonight, having lowed just a single unnarn run.

702
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: Hold on to this and remember this what I'm about

703
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 1: to tell you. Sandy has made twenty five starts this year.

704
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: He has completed five innings in its entirety, in twenty

705
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: three of them. There have only been two starts where

706
00:36:55,239 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: he has not given his team five innings pitched. There's

707
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: only two, and in one of them he went four

708
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: point two, and in the other one he had awful

709
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: defense behind him, and his pitching numbers went up. His

710
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: total pitches went high enough that they had to pull

711
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: him again. Twenty five starts this year, twenty three of

712
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: them he's gone five innings pitch or more. That's, you know,

713
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: not something to laugh at, that's not something to minimize.

714
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: That's something to say, Wow, that's among the top in baseball,

715
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: not just the Marlins, not just the NL East, not

716
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: just the National League in baseball. Over his last six

717
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: he's allowed more than three earned runs only once. He

718
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: has four games started over the last six with two

719
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: earn runs or less. And over that same span, he's

720
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: only allowed more than five hits once and that was

721
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: only six and that was against the Twins. That was

722
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: also the outing that he went four point two innings.

723
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: See what I'm getting to here is that Sandy's having

724
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: a good year, and it's not just because of the stretch,

725
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,439
Speaker 1: which has been very impressive for one of the most

726
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: humble players in that locker room. And I've met him

727
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 1: multiple times. He is one of the kindest, most humble,

728
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: other centered people that I have ever met in a

729
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: Marlins Jersey. He has gone and showed why those that

730
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: gave up on a twenty three year old ceiling of

731
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: an ace are going to be wrong. Now, do I

732
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: think he still needs more control. Absolutely, And do I

733
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: think that he needs to develop the big sea c

734
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: is consistency to ever actually attain that ceiling of an Ace. Absolutely,

735
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: even to attain the ceiling of a number two. Absolutely.

736
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm not here to tell you that that's what's going

737
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: to happen. There is still a world that Sandy simply

738
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: doesn't make it. Sandy doesn't make it to his ceiling

739
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: because he doesn't get that control under wraps, because he

740
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: doesn't get the consistency under wraps. But by god, I'm

741
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: not going to be the person that places a ceiling

742
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: on a twenty three year old who's gone out twenty

743
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: three of the twenty five stars has given you five innings.

744
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: Pitch this kid. This young man can be an ACE.

745
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: This young man could be a number two. This young

746
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: man could be a number three. But for those of

747
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: you that have given up on the twenty three year

748
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: old ceiling of an Ace, I think you're wrong. I

749
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: think that at the end of the day, he has

750
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: the stuff and he's starting to show the control. The

751
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: consistency is next, but the NL better watch out, and

752
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: the Braves have gotten a good taste of that. The

753
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: last two outings if he ever finds that big sea.

754
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: If here refines that consistency, the Marlins not only have

755
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: six do Sanchez, not only have Edward Cabrera, not only

756
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: have Caleb Smith, not only have Pablo Lopez, but will

757
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: also have a Sandy that's going to be coming to

758
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: make some trouble. It's exciting. He's finally showing why so

759
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: many people felt that he was an ace in that

760
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: Azuna trade. And I'm so happy for him because it

761
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: couldn't have happened to a nicer person. The Hitters of

762
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: the Week, and then we're gonna wrap up when you

763
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: sc nineteen runs are gonna have a lot, right. I

764
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: said it in the introduction. I believe that this is

765
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: the by far, the week that we have the most

766
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: nominees for Hitters of the Week. We have six. We

767
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,479
Speaker 1: have six, my goodness, in April, I couldn't even find

768
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: one person that was valid, you know, worthy of having

769
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: this title for the week. Now we have six ops

770
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: is on base plus slugging. Anything over eight hundred is

771
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 1: above average. This week, the Marlins have six people over

772
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 1: eight ten and five over in nine seventeen. The first

773
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: one is Harold hitting Harold Demira's average four to twenty nine.

774
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: He's gone on base forty eight percent of the time,

775
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: is sluggings almost at six hundred. His ops is over

776
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: one thousand. He has nine hits over those six games,

777
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: three doubles, he's walked twice, has four RBIs. This is

778
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's showing us who he is. Okay,

779
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: he's showing us what we've seen this entire year. Harold hitting,

780
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: Harold can hit. If he didn't get it from the name,

781
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: he's going to continue to hit well. He'd be able

782
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: to continue hitting it up to stop a Hissu Sanchez

783
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: and Amanta Harrison and others from taking his job. We'll see.

784
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: But there's no question that hitting Harold can put back

785
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: to ball and he's shown it this week. Brian Anderson

786
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: before he got hurt again, you know, fracture to his hand.

787
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: He'll probably be out for the rest of this year.

788
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: Was hitting three seventy five, getting on base almost five

789
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: hundred percent of the time, forty seven percent of the time,

790
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: slugging five hundred.

791
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 3: Oh.

792
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: He has just under one thousand and at nine to

793
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 1: seventy four, six hits, two doubles, two walks, four K's

794
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 1: exactly like Harold. You know, Brian Anderson is. Brian Anderson's

795
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: the best player on this team. We know eventually over

796
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: the next month, I'll be having an offseason special where

797
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about what the Marlin should be

798
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: looking at, what the Marlins should be looking to succeed

799
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: in the offseason. And you better believe it. I'll give

800
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: you two seconds. What do you think is the first

801
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: thing I'm gonna say, Extend Brian Anderson. The first conversation

802
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: is going to be, Extend Brian Anderson. This injury changes nothing. Nothing.

803
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: Extend Brian Anderson. George Alpharo is our third guy. He

804
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: loves hitting against the Phillies. Man, I'll tell you what,

805
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: three point fifty forty percent on base, five point fifty

806
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: ops of nine to thirty one. He even took a

807
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: walk this week, Unicorn, He even took a walk this week.

808
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: George Alfarau was. I mean, he did. He had a

809
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: good week. It's why his numbers are career best right now.

810
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: But it's just nice to see he added a home

811
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: run in there as well. Then we have some older players.

812
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 1: We had a good mix here. We had a good

813
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: mix of young and Harold and Anderson, you know in

814
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: BA and in Alphao, and we have a few veterans arline.

815
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: Casho continues to shove it's it's a it's I guess

816
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: someone will say it's a shame he didn't do it

817
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: before the trade deadline, and I agree with that sentiment,

818
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: because then they could have gotten something for him, and

819
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: quite frankly, for him, he would probably be on a

820
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: playoff team right now, chasing something that has always evaded

821
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: him his entire career. But since the playoffer, since the

822
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: trade deadline, he has been on fire and he continued

823
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: it this week, hitting over three hundred his ops's over

824
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: nine hundred two homers. I think ten rbi. Just it's

825
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: fantastics to see. And I'll say this, I've never met

826
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: starln Castro in person. There are some of these players

827
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: that I've met once multiple times. I've never met Starlin,

828
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: so I don't have any personal stories with him. But

829
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:25,919
Speaker 1: he made a fan out of me for the rest

830
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: of his career, not even because of his on field performance,

831
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: because of the way that he's handled asan Diaz, a

832
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 1: man that literally directly came for his job and shoved

833
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: him to third base. Isandia is just something good. The

834
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: first person in the top step to congratulate him is Starlin.

835
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: Isan Diaz commits three errors in a game or three

836
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: hours over the span of two games. The first person

837
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: to console him at the dugout is Starlin Oh. He

838
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: hits a game tying three run home run to right

839
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: field with the ridiculous, fantastic batting stance in bat drop.

840
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 1: The first one to jump over the rail is star Lynn.

841
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: The fact that Starlin has taken this young man under

842
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: his wing has shown me everything that I ever had

843
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: to know about Starlin without even meeting him, and I'm

844
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: happy that he is finishing his year the way that

845
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: he is. Neil Walker's also been a great signing. He's

846
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: had a good season as well. Over the last week

847
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: almost hitting four hundred, which is just ridiculous. He's hitting

848
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: three eighty one. He has not taken any walk, so

849
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: his on base percentage is also three eighty one, and

850
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: he's slugging is sitting around four thirty with an ops

851
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: about eight eight ten. He has eight hits, most of

852
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 1: them have been singles. He only has one double, But

853
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: the reality is that he's getting on base, whether it's

854
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: a single or not, and he's been a good leader

855
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: around the clubhouse. Neil is someone that I've been able

856
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: to meet and discuss baseball with, and he's just He's

857
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,439
Speaker 1: a stand up guy. He was excited to be here.

858
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: He was excited to be a leader on this team.

859
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: He's also someone that I wish would have been traded

860
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: so that he could have been in a playoff push.

861
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: I would have loved for these veterans to get that

862
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: playoff push. You know, they did their job here. They

863
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: helped the kids, they helped the young upcoming men and prospects.

864
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: It would have been nice for him to get his desire.

865
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if he wanted to go to a

866
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 1: playoff push, but I'm sure every player has that competitive

867
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: drive within him. Nonetheless, it's still nice to see. And

868
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: then the sixth candidates is John Birdie. I mean, you know,

869
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: you remember Don Bleeping Murphy. I really believe that. Yeah,

870
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: if Rich Waltz and Tommy Hutt we're still in the

871
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: broadcast boof, we would have a John Bleeping Birdie. It

872
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 1: just works well, and he just keeps hitting to eighty

873
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: six a, getting on base almost forty percent of the time,

874
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: slugging five seventy one. He has two homers over the

875
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: last week, Ops nine to forty six. John Birdie continues

876
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: to be the bracketbuster. I made the joke that we

877
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: all have these projected lineups for twenty twenty and twenty

878
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: twenty one. John Birdie's your sixteen seed that upsets, upsets

879
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 1: the number one, and just breaks everyone's bracket, breaks everyone's

880
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: projected lineup because whether it's in center field or left

881
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: field or shortstop, the man hits. It doesn't matter what

882
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: position he's in. He's going to hit when he steps

883
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: up to the plate, and he's going to continue pushing

884
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: other people around him. He is a journey man. He's

885
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: been in different places. He made his debut with the Marlins,

886
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: but he's been throughout many minor league systems, through many

887
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: tour through many buses. I'm sure he doesn't want and

888
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: he's not in any hurry to go back to the miners.

889
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: So he's gonna say, Oh, you're a top one hundred prospect,

890
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: come get it. Oh you're a veteran who thinks you're

891
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: better than me. You just signed for a lot of

892
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: money here, come get it. That's what's gonna happen. And honestly,

893
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm kind of rooting for John Bleepin Birdie because I understand.

894
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: I understand that he is the underdog. I understand that

895
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: people are coming for him, and you know what, in

896
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 1: my projections, it's what bites everyone who has a busted bracket.

897
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm still not penciling him in the lineup for my

898
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: projections for twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. He's still

899
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: not there. But he's proven me wrong so far. We'll

900
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: see if he proves me wrong when the time comes.

901
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: This week gave us a nice mix of what I

902
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: already said, which is the youth and the veteran. We

903
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: would have loved to have seen this throughout the year,

904
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: and we did for certain months, and it's hopefully what

905
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: we see in September. It's hopefully, hopefully it's something that

906
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: we continue to see in September. We continue to get

907
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: good baseball. You know, they won the series against the Phillies,

908
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: they played good ball against the Braves. Regardless of the

909
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: outcomes of those of those games. The hope is that

910
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: the Marlins fans that have listened in, the Marlins fans

911
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: that know what to look for now and in great detail,

912
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: whether it's with Pablo Lopez in the three seeds, whether

913
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: it's what specific minor leaguers might get called up Jose Urania,

914
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: whatever the case is, my hope is you also get

915
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: entertaining baseball because the reality is that I believe that's

916
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: what's coming. I hope we get a glimpse of it

917
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: in September, because come March, in April twenty twenty, it's

918
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: gonna be here. I don't want you to pretend there

919
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: feel like you didn't see it coming. The Fish are

920
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: not gonna be world beaters in twenty twenty, but oh

921
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 1: they're going to be exciting. You're not gonna have wasted

922
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 1: at bats You're not gonna have wasted at outings and

923
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 1: appearances on the mound. Every single person that takes up

924
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: the ball and takes up the bat and walks up

925
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: to the batter's box is going to have a purpose,

926
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be fighting for their job. Because if

927
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: there's one word that I can give you for twenty twenty,

928
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: it's competitive. I might not see it. You might not

929
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 1: see it yet in the standings in the win loss

930
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty Oero, but it's competitive because there's going

931
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 1: to be a top five farm system coming for your job.

932
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: Every single position, with maybe a few exceptions, like an

933
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: Alpha ROO and like a DZ. But even with a Diaz,

934
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: a shortstop can transition over. Every single position has someone

935
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: better or highly touted or more known coming behind you.

936
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: Garret Cooper gets comfortable, mete Leywan Diaz, Lewis Brinson or

937
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: John Birdie. Whoever wants to be in the outfield, meet

938
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 1: a myriad of players that are coming up in a

939
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: JJ Blude in a Monte Harrison in a Cameron Meisner,

940
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: in a Connor Scott, even in a Victor Victor Mesa

941
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: in a Heyesus Sanchez shortstop. You already know Jazz chisholm

942
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 1: Osius Johnson when he gets healthy, Jose Devers. The only

943
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: person who should feel comfortable on opening day twenty twenty

944
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: is Brian Please extend him. Anderson, maybe George Alfaro. Oh

945
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: the best unit on the team, Well, that's the pitching staff.

946
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:10,919
Speaker 1: They're not gonna be comfortable either.

947
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 1: meet you. I'm coming for your spot. Twenty twenty is

955
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,720
Speaker 1: gonna be competitive, not only because of the wins losses,

956
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: maybe even aside from the wins losses, but because every

957
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,479
Speaker 1: single game you're gonna get someone that's fighting for their job.

958
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: And the last time that you can say that in

959
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: the Marlins Arrow was never maybe nineteen ninety three when

960
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: they were coming in that last courting get more than

961
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: seventy five wins because no one was coming for them,

962
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:56,959
Speaker 1: because pitching wasn't coming, because outfield talent wasn't coming. That's

963
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: changing in twenty twenty. Competitive is the word. In September,
