As we're about to get into 12 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: We're on a pretty long streak of these solo episodes 13 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: from me, so we're going to shake it up a 14 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: little bit here. Most of the show is not me 15 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: all alone. The big second segment of this will be 16 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: a recording that I did on a locker room that 17 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: app if you don't already have it downloaded. All sorts 18 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: of sports conversations that are audio only between quote unquote 19 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: experts or just enthusiasts, a correct way to get people 20 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: together and get the audience directly involved in the show. 21 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: I recorded it with Jake Slobodnik and Nathan Hirsch from 22 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: Bucks Dugout that is our Pittsburgh Pirates sister site from 23 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: Fists Stripes that we just reacted to various things from 24 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: that series between the Pirates and the Marlins, with the 25 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: Pirates taking three out of four, a couple of those 26 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: games especially heartbreaking, and that the Marlins let late ending 27 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: leads get away, and then the blowout in the first game, 28 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: and then the last game Sandy putting the team on 29 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: his back. So there's lots to digest there, but a 30 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: lot of also big picture conversation about the state of 31 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: the Marlins and the Pirates. Before getting into that, I'm 32 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: just going to do my best to go through quick 33 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: hits from the recent games that really stuck out to me. 34 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes brevity is not my strong suit, but for the 35 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: sake of time, I'll try to be concise with these points. 36 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: Then after that getting into the elephants in the organization, 37 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: the fact that this Marlins offense has been mediocre for 38 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: an extended period of time, and yet Jesus Sanchez, the 39 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: outfield prospect, continues to light Triple A on fire and 40 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: seem to show all the indications of someone who's ready 41 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: to make an impact in the major leagues. I'm going 42 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: to make the case for why his time should be 43 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: coming immediately immediately, starting on Tuesday, and then after that 44 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: shouting out some minor leaguers of the week in the 45 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: Marlins organization that deserve props for the way they performed 46 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: in recent series. The takeaways at the major league level 47 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: from those games. In Pittsburgh Thursday night, Eliezer Hernandez comes 48 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: off the injured list first time in two months. We 49 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: got to see him in the majors after a biceps injury. 50 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: Looked great during his rehab starts. He looked great in 51 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: this game through five innings, and he even hit for 52 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: himself in the sixth with the intention of going back 53 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: out there, and you know what happens. He strained his quad, 54 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: a really severe strain. I've had a quad strain myself 55 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: in the past where nags for a couple of weeks 56 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: and it's just uncomfortable. But this one, it put him 57 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: on crutches. He was feeling, according to Don Manningly, a 58 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: very significant amount of pain, and they decided it was 59 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: severe enough to not only put him on the IL 60 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: but transfer him to the sixty day IL. Back again 61 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: where he's ruled out for the next couple months. I 62 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: bring him up now just because not only does he 63 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: have all these other injuries in his recent pass that 64 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: I have kept him sidelined, but this particular one, in 65 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: the severity of it, it's going to cost him a 66 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: lot of money, millions of dollars in my estimation in 67 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: the long run. And why is that Because this is 68 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: his platform year, this is his final year before becoming 69 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: arbitration eligible. It's a crucial time in your career to 70 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: put up counting stats, to work a lot of innings, 71 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: to rack up a lot of strikeouts and wins. He 72 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: had this golden opportunity to rejoin the rotation. He was 73 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: virtually going to be unchallenged with a rotation spot for 74 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: the foreseeable future, because you know the state of the 75 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: rotation as it is that they just have all these 76 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: question marks at the back end behind Sandy, Pablo and Trevor. 77 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: So Eliezer would have made a would have been starting 78 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: every every fifth game for the foreseeable future. And if 79 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: he was anything like the guy that we saw over 80 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: the past parts of two seasons, then this is a 81 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: guy that would have had a lot of success and 82 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: that's going to cost him. I mean, no matter what, 83 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: he's going to make more than the major league minimum 84 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. But this is a guy that 85 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: was not a conventional super prospect. He has he really 86 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: had to work he gets to this point and continue 87 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: to like honing his craft, really missing out on a 88 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: lot of reps in this point. I mean best case scenarios. 89 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 1: He gets back in August and makes maybe nine or 90 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: ten starts down the stretch in an absolute best case scenario. 91 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,559 Speaker 1: So I really feel for him, like this is probably 92 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: a difference between making seven hundred and fifty grand next 93 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: year making two million. Like if he was, you know, 94 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: an above average major league starting pitcher for twenty starts 95 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: this year, that was kind of the ceiling that he 96 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: had potentially to for his workload this year, getting over 97 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: one hundred endings, it would have been huge for his 98 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: platform year. And that trickles forward to twenty twenty three 99 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: and twenty twenty four. It establishes that base that over 100 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: the long run, this is gonna be really costly for him, 101 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: and it happens, of course, because of no universal designated hitter. 102 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: Marlins as an organization have been very adamant about how 103 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: they thought that was important to add for this year. 104 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: I myself, the advocate, never really understood the appeal of 105 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: not having hitters that know what they're doing and not 106 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: protecting prize pitchers. Just a terrible break for Eliezer, so 107 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,239 Speaker 1: I feel for him. On the brighter side, Sunday, Sandy 108 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: al Contra stepped up. The one word that comes to 109 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: mind for me is just his determination to get through 110 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: this one. Especially at the start. I did not think 111 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: he had his a game. Like his velocity was great. 112 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: It was probably right at the top of the scale 113 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: of what we usually expect from him, high nineties fastball 114 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: changeups that got to ninety three, ninety four. Like, his 115 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: velocity was there, but he was not getting the whiffs, 116 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: swings and misses that we usually expect from him in 117 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: this one, relying on a lot of ground balls. And 118 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: that's okay. I mean, that's something he's done very well 119 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: in his career. He was not on top of his game. 120 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: He's facing a Pirates lineup that, you know, for all 121 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: the struggles they've had this year, they've been playing much 122 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: better recently over the past week or so, even right 123 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: before this series against the Marlins, and yet Sam he 124 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: goes eight strong endings, allows one run and it's an 125 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: unearned run. An Araby hayesus Aguilar he goes well over 126 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: one hundred pitches. He could have gone into the ninth 127 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: if they absolutely needed it. That was an interesting I 128 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: could understand both sides of that. Where with Jimmy Garcia, 129 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: despite his recent struggles, I don't think there's any reason 130 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: to panic about him that him has a choice with 131 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: a two run lead, especially going up against kind of 132 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: the soft underbelly the Pirates lineup. I felt that was 133 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: the right move at that time. But Sandy just continues 134 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: to really be everything you want from a top of 135 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: the rotation type of picture. It lowers his era to 136 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: three point thirty. I especially love the matchups against Key 137 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: Brian Hayes, the Pirates' third baseman. He was so impressive 138 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: in this series. Was rookie last year, but we didn't 139 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: get to see him. There's no head to head matchups 140 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: with the Marlins. It was a pleasure to watch him 141 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball in this series, and 142 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: he got hits against Sandy the first two times up. 143 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: The third time up, Sandy blows him away with three 144 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: straight fastballs up in the zone and then the fourth 145 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: time up with Hayes representing the potential tying run in 146 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: the eighth inning. This was a great sequence. I think 147 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: it went eight pitches deep. Sandy starts him with a 148 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: fastball and then goes all secondary stuff, sliders and changeups, 149 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: and you could see Hayes spitting on a couple just 150 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: out of the zone, and I mean it took until 151 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 1: that final one that was just placed perfectly to get 152 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: him to chase and to put him away. So that 153 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: was a pleasure to kind of watch those guys go 154 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: head to head. 155 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 2: To the right side, Birdy to second for one, Jazz 156 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 2: to first, and another double play swinging a miss, lengthy 157 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 2: start from their starter. How about three pitches and a strikeout, 158 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 2: got on and missed, and Sandy strikes out Moran and 159 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: Sandy gets the strikeout payoff pitch to Hey swinging and 160 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 2: a miss. 161 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: Hastiss Aguilar, especially those last two games on Saturday and Sunday, 162 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: he is so locked in right now. Everything he hits 163 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: is either a line drive or a deep fly ball, 164 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: and he's making contact with almost every single swing that 165 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: he makes. So now up to twelve home runs and 166 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: these splits really amuse me. That all twelve of his 167 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: home runs this year are on the road. Nobody in 168 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: baseball has more road home runs than Aguilar, and nobody 169 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: in baseball has fewer home home runs than Aguilar. He 170 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: has not hit a home run at lone Deepoat Bark. 171 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: The Marlins are going to be betting on him to 172 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: change that during this upcoming home stand that begins on Tuesday, 173 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: especially against some shaky pitching staffs. All things considered, he 174 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: is having a very good year right pretty much last 175 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: what he did last year, except for more over the 176 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: fence power. He's been great and it's good to see 177 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: him locked in for the time being because he did 178 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: have quietly that's in mid to late May and up 179 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: until just a few days ago, so he's flipped the 180 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: switch again. Great adjustment by him. Another storyline from these 181 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: same two games, as we didn't see any of Garrett 182 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 1: Cooper held out for what the team is calling back stiffness. 183 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: We know Cooper has had all these little nagging injuries 184 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,319 Speaker 1: throughout his career. You hope it doesn't turn into anything 185 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: more serious than that. Just to give you a heads 186 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: up for our upcoming trade proposal Tuesday article. I was 187 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: sniffing around with the idea of working out a proposal 188 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: for Garrett Cooper and sending him to an American League team. 189 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: But that kind of idea is all moot. If Cooper 190 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: is hurt fingers crossed that he is going to be 191 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: available on Monday against the Red Sox, so that we 192 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,599 Speaker 1: could put out that article on Tuesday, that'd be a 193 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: buzzkill and forced me to run an audible with that 194 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: trade proposal. If this does turn into anything more serious 195 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: and one head scratching element to this team right now, 196 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: or are of course going to get into a bigger 197 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: conversation and kind of related to this in a moment. 198 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 1: I don't understand what the team is doing with Jose Devers. 199 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: He had he was their leadoff guy for a couple 200 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: of games in this series against the Pirates. He did 201 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: have that one multi hit game he had, uh yeah, 202 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: that one two run double that tied the game. He's 203 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: had his good moments kind of on both sides of 204 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 1: the ball this year as a rookie, as one of 205 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: the youngest players in all baseball. That being said, it 206 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: is painfully obvious that he is not a finished product. 207 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: The fact that he has now spent he skipped the 208 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: Double A level entirely. He was only a Triple A 209 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: for parts of two weeks I think, in between his 210 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: major league stints this year. Overall now up to forty 211 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: one played appearances, slashing two sixteen, two sixty eight, two 212 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: ninety seven. It's kind of what you would expect for 213 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: a guy that kind of skipped what should have been 214 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: really a full year at the minor league level this season. 215 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: I know he's on the forty men roster and the 216 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: team is in a bind without having other healthy infielders 217 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: on the forty man at the moment. More on that 218 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: coming up very shortly. I just felt they needed to 219 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: find another way to figure out this situation while Miguel 220 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: Rojas and Brian Anderson are injured, that Devers is these 221 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: kind of even though he's in the big leagues. I'm 222 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: happy that he's getting major league pay. This is bad 223 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: for his long term trajectory. He should be playing every 224 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: single day at Triple A. I mean, you look at 225 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: these Triple A games and no offense to these guys, 226 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: but they're playing Connor Justice and what excuse me? I 227 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: even forgot this newly signed guy that they just picked 228 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: up out of an independent ball, Gali Cribbs Junior. We've 229 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: seen Justin Twine get a lot of playing time, old 230 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: friend Justin Twine. The former draft pick back in the organization, 231 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: Eddie Alvarez returns from his Olympic qualifiers pretty soon. These 232 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: are all just stop gaps. In fact, I wouldn't be 233 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: opposed to sending him to double A where at least 234 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: he'd be aligned with Gerar and Carnassillon and JJ Bolday 235 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: and Peyden Burdick, the guys that are actually potential future 236 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: pieces of the organization, building camaraderie with them and with 237 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: the pitchers down there. Like a lot of the future 238 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: of this organization is the Pensacola right now, and they 239 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: the same way. You know, they don't really have like 240 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: bone fied middle infielders taking up space right now. They 241 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: are kind of waiting with open arms for devors to 242 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: go back down there. I'd like to see that sooner 243 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: than later. And on a related note, I'd like to 244 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: see Hayesius Sanchez up in the big leagues any day now. 245 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: Before making my case for Jesus a plug for our 246 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: partners symbol the stock market for sports.

The case for Hayesu Sanchez 271 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: to be back in the big leagues, you know, we 272 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: saw him a cup of coffee in twenty twenty. It 273 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: did not go well. He got injured at the start 274 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: of spring training this year and but was healthy enough 275 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: to rejoin Triple A Jacksonville in time for their regular season, 276 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: and he's been raking ever since, even coming off a 277 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: rare hitless day on Sunday. He is at three seventy 278 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: four batting average ops in the quadruple digits ONEY one 279 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen. He's tied for second in all of 280 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: minor league baseball this year with forty hits. The splits 281 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: are hilarious. He is the same guy at home and 282 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: on the road. He's the same guy against righty's and 283 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: against lefties. His consistency is surreal at Triple A for 284 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: a guy who had played in Triple A in twenty nineteen, 285 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: but only for a partial season. You know, this is 286 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: not a total repeat situation, and he is a lot 287 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: younger than most of the competition he is facing. Still 288 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: just his age twenty three season for this guy, in fact, 289 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: he's younger than everybody he is facing. He said one game, 290 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: three plate appearances in twenty twenty one against opposing pitcher 291 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: who was actually younger than him. I mean, a couple 292 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: of things that stick out about him is that he's 293 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: not a center fielder. Even this year, he hasn't played 294 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: center field for one moment, just right field, left field 295 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: occasional DH though that's a limitation, I guess, but this 296 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: guy is He's showing he has nothing left to prove 297 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: in the minors and the opening on the majors is 298 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: so apparent because even coming off this latest win, this 299 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: Marlins offense is not good. They're relying so much on 300 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: Starling Marte, on Haysuz Aguilar, on the occasional Jazz Chisholm Junior. 301 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: He's been looking better lately and fingers crossed that jazz 302 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: is a foot issue is fine. After getting hit by 303 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: a pitch on Sunday, he did a good job trying 304 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: to shake that off. That's not really a whole lot 305 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: else to this offense besides those guys. For the time being, 306 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: where does Sanchez fit in? So for me, I'm on 307 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 1: the same page with Alex Carver from Fish on the Farm. 308 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: We weren't kind of in lockstep about this that the 309 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: most expendable guy on the Marlins active roster right now 310 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: would have to be Meganeri Sierra's yes, you've heard, he's 311 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: out of options. He's been out of options the last 312 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: couple of years. He's only twenty five years old, but 313 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: he's just stagnated, you know. I mean, he's been better 314 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty and in twenty twenty one than he 315 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: was his first couple of years in the majors, but 316 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: that's not saying much. Really low bar to clear. We 317 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: know he has zero power whatsoever. A big key to 318 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: him last year that got people really excited when he 319 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: was kind of forced into action as a semi regular 320 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: player is that his base running was so disruptive for 321 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: the opposing team. He made such creative and aggressive decisions 322 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: that almost always worked out. That hasn't quite been the 323 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: same case this year. Even though he is getting on 324 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: base at you know, a thirty percent clip, it's not 325 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: a disaster, especially for this team. He's just but he's 326 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: not doing much with those opportunities, and the upside just 327 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: is not there because of the lack of hit tool. 328 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: He doesn't work very deep counts. He doesn't really do 329 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: a whole lot of little things that add up to winning. 330 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: He's playing great defense in the outfield, but I feel 331 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: he's redundant right now. I mean the Marlins as of 332 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 1: this recording, they have Lewis Brinson and Magneris Sierra on 333 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: the roster at the same time. Why, I mean, these 334 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: guys are seeing these guys, especially Brinston. You know, Brinston's 335 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,719 Speaker 1: much longer samples are much larger sample size. I've been 336 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: clear about my thoughts about Brinson that I would have, 337 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, turned the page on him months ago, even 338 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: before spring training started. That's but between those two, I 339 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: think Brinson is a little bit more complimentary to their 340 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: current personnel because at least he has that power potential 341 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: finally back from the injured list. Just missed hitting a 342 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: home run in Pittsburgh. I think on Saturday that hooked Val. 343 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: I mean that alone is something that Sierra could never 344 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: dream of at hitting the ball that went home run distance. 345 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: So Brinson Sierra, as you know, comparable offensive numbers this year, 346 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: comparable defensive performance this year. But with Brinton at least 347 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: the power tool is there. He's a guy that makes 348 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: more sense as a pinch hitter for the pitcher spot. 349 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: You know, Sandy is not going to go He's not 350 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: going to be starting every game and not going eight 351 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: innings every single game, So you need pinch hitters almost 352 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: all the time, and Brinson is someone that has a 353 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: lot more value in that capacity. He has a minor 354 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 1: league option remaining. So yeah, even if things go really poorly, 355 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: if there's a cer roster construction that makes more sense 356 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: as the year goes on, and you send him down, 357 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: it's no big deal. I would definitely lean towards keeping 358 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: Brinson over Sierra. 359 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 3: Well. 360 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: Now, frankly, the team would have to look in the 361 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: near future about taking two of those position players off 362 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,959 Speaker 1: the roster at the same time, because right now they 363 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: have thirteen players and thirteen pitchers, and that's only because 364 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: they have this void in the back of their rotation 365 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: in the aftermath of those injuries to Eliezer and to 366 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: Cody Poteit, so pretty soon I imagine they'll actually be 367 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: looking at downsizing an additional position player. I would think 368 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: that you want to keep either one of Brinson or 369 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: Sierra to be on there. But even those guys are 370 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: not necessary when we've seen how obviously Starling Marte looking 371 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: exactly like the guy he was before his injury, and 372 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: now Adam Duval had all that time to prove himself 373 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: as a very viable backup defensive center fielder. So I mean, 374 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: there's a scenario where you dfa Sierra and you option Brinston. 375 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 1: At the same time, as I teased earlier, my proposal 376 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: coming up for trading Garrett Cooper potentially to the American League. 377 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: That would free up a roster spot as well, if 378 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 1: you get rid of one of those outfielders and send 379 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: Garrett Cooper in a place where he fits in better. 380 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: You know, more on that coming up on our site. 381 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: But also in the infields, of course, I already alluded 382 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: to that earlier with Jose Devers. How he you know, 383 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: he shouldn't be up here right now. It's not fair 384 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: to him. He should be playing every day in the 385 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: minor leagues. And as long as Esan Diaz, they believe 386 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: you can play both second base and third base, all right, yeah, fine, 387 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: I mean I'm not too high on Esan, but there 388 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: are some underlying things with On's batted ball data that 389 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: suggests that much better times are ahead, and that he's 390 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: been very unlucky. He makes a lot more sense than Devors, 391 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: and I don't think he need both of them at 392 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: the same time. If Jazz could play shortstop and Birdie 393 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: can fill in anywhere if needed. So, yeah, probably the 394 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: top of my preference list would be once they go 395 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: back to a fourteen man pitching. Theft is that you 396 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: option down Devers and you cut the cord with Sierra. 397 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 1: And again this is to bring up Heeyesu Sanchez, who 398 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: has incredible raw power, who has improving plate discipline that 399 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: he's shown so far this year in the minors. He's 400 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: an impactful bet. Really, this is such an important time 401 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: to find out what you have in him. 402 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 4: The year bank on the ninth of the month, breaking ball, 403 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 4: swinging a high fly ball under right, going back on 404 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 4: the warning track, Nevida, does he have a play? No, 405 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 4: it carries and it's God and heyesus. Sam Chanz has 406 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 4: done it again. 407 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: Adam Duval gets squeezed into kind of a bench roll 408 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: or more of a platoon and left with him and 409 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: Corey Dickerson. I think that's really the ideal situation, is 410 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: having those two kind of split time, you need to 411 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: start making decisions about what this team looks like for 412 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two and beyond. You know, this is no 413 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: longer situation where you have your foot on the gas 414 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: trying to win every possible game. I don't think. I 415 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: think this is we've reached out an inflection point where 416 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: they need to start balancing. That balancing, then you're the 417 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: immediate gratification of winning and the long term goals. That's 418 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 1: simply they're undermanned with all these injuries that have finally 419 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: kind of added up all at the same time at 420 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: several key areas, and they're pretty passive approach to the 421 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: off season has caught up to them. You know, it's 422 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: tough luck, but we got a kind of acknowledge where 423 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: they are. And excuse me, pardon me for my disorganization 424 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,239 Speaker 1: on this. I mean, the big impetus for why I'm 425 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: bringing up Hatius Sanchez at this time is because, from 426 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: my understanding, on June eighth, on Tuesday is the first 427 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: day that when you call him up, it delays his 428 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: service time just enough so that the Marlins will have 429 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 1: club control of him extended through the twenty twenty seven season. 430 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: Arm leyden If you listen to lockdown Marlins. He went 431 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 1: through this conversation a few days ago after consulting with 432 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: me about it, where Hasius Sanchez picked up thirty three 433 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: days of service time in twenty twenty. He picked up 434 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: I believe nineteen days of service time earlier this year 435 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: when he was on the Major League injured list got healthy. 436 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: The Marlins option to him. It stopped his service time clock, 437 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: paused it at fifty two days. And if they hold 438 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: him down until you know, Tuesday, by the time they 439 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 1: bring him back up, he'll have a maximum of one 440 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy days of service time in by the 441 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: end of twenty twenty one. And that's such a key 442 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: number because when you get to one seventy one, it 443 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: rounds up and counts as a full year of service time. 444 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: But by very carefully threading that needle on that threshold 445 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: and capping him at one hundred and seventy days to 446 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: get to by the end of this year, it ensures 447 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 1: that this still does not count as a full year 448 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: of service time, and he is still six full years remaining. 449 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: Because that's how free agency is, six full years of 450 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: service time. You become an unrestricted free agent I don't 451 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: think this is a coincidence. You know, I spoke about 452 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: Hayesus a few weeks ago how it made so much 453 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: sense to call him up for that road trip going 454 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: through the Red Sox and the Blue Jays when have 455 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: the designated hitter. They declined to do so they lost 456 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: all those games, whoops, And as like digging deeper, the 457 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: only theory that really comes to mind is that potentially 458 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: service time is at play that they're so confident in 459 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: him at this point in the adjustments that he's made. 460 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: When they bring him up, they expect him to stay 461 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: and they want him to stay for that extra year 462 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: through twenty twenty seven instead of through twenty twenty six. 463 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 1: So I'm recording this on Sunday night, I'm pretty sure 464 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: you're not going to see him call him up called 465 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,239 Speaker 1: up on Monday. And there's a very sparticular reason for this, 466 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: because it's on Tuesday that that service time threshold. That's 467 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: one that becomes a factor for Hayeshu Sanchez. As if 468 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: they don't call him up on Tuesday, then I think 469 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 1: this is a topic that we need to start questioning 470 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: pretty much every single days as a Marlins community. Is 471 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: why he's not up here. He has nothing left to prove, 472 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: and there are creative ways as I outlined, to insert 473 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: him into this active roster that makes sense. So we 474 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: close out this first segment with my minor League Minor League, 475 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: my Marlins prospects of the Week. Well, for a change, 476 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: Hayesius Sanchez does not quite make the cut this week. 477 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: A lot of good stories in the Marlins farm system 478 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: instead starting on the pitching side. This is why I 479 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: wait until the very end of the week before recording this, 480 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: because the last game that anyone in the organization played 481 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: this week was Double A Pensacola against the Mississippi Braves 482 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: at Double A and Jake Eder, the Marlins fourth round 483 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: draft pick from last year, got the start. There were 484 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: high expectations for him. He's been incredible all year and 485 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: this was as good as we've ever seen him because 486 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: he was perfect. He was literally perfect. He faced fifteen batters, 487 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: he retired fifteen batters, and he struck out the majority 488 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: of those guys, eight of the fifteen. It with a 489 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: pleasure to watch that fastball, that breaking ball that he has. 490 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: He had a one ending where he threw twelve pitches, 491 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: all them strikes The efficiency in this outing was crazy, 492 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: and it made me expect that they would send him 493 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 1: out for the sixth inning. He had a perfect game working. 494 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: That's the one knock on his year. So not a knock. 495 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it's by design that they have not pushed 496 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 1: him past five innings yet. I'd be very curious to 497 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: see when they finally changed that. He was perfect honorable 498 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: mentioned to his teammate Max Meyer, who I think wrecked 499 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: up eight or nine strikeouts in his outing earlier in 500 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: the week. Also, Braxton Garrett had a nice outing at 501 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: Triple A. He may be seeing him in the majors 502 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: in the very near future to help the Marlins fill 503 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: out that rotation. And Marlin's hitting prospect of the week, 504 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: shortstop Nassim Nunez from Low A Jupiter, played in every 505 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: single game this week. He recorded hits in every game 506 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: this week, in most cases more than one hit. Let 507 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 1: me make sure I got these numbers right. In June, 508 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: in these six games that he played, he went twelve 509 00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: for twenty seven at the plate as their lead off guy, 510 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: betting four forty four this week, stole one, two, three, 511 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: four bases or is it more than that? At least 512 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: four bases. He continues to be among the minor league 513 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: baseball leaders any affiliation, any level in stolen bases this year, 514 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 1: although he did get caught also four times this week 515 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: alone with the team. He's a fun guy and Jupiter 516 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: played a pretty solid series against Palm Beach in this 517 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: one and he only do nam always struck out a 518 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: couple times during this week as well. You know, the 519 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: overall offensive numbers for him are underwhelming because it doesn't 520 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: hit for any power whatsoever, but he does draw his walks, 521 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: he gets his singles. He even forces the defense to 522 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: make more mistakes than usual reaching on errors. That is 523 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: a skill and for a guy that is a plus 524 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: runner some people would say a plus plus runner, he 525 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: really makes a big impact out there. So that's nice 526 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: to see him because one of the younger guys with 527 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: that affiliate this year playing full season ball, expected to 528 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: stay there for most of the year. An honorable mention 529 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: to Troy Johnston, who began the year in Jupiter but 530 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: showed pretty quickly that he was overqualified. He was older 531 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: than the league average, and his offensive production was outstanding 532 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: in Jupiter. He earned a promotion to Clinton to Clinton 533 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: to Beloit this week high a Beloit, and he had 534 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: a pretty terrific week for himself up there in Beloit. 535 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: He's an on base machine and he's piling up extra 536 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: base hits as well. A super late round draft pick 537 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: in that same draft class as Nunia is in twenty nineteen, 538 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: and he has I think pretty clearly exceeded expectations so far. 539 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: Another favorite of Alex Carver from Fish on the Farm. 540 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: So I'm sure he'll be happy that we mentioned Johnston 541 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: on here. That will wrap it up for this first segment. 542 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: You know, most of the show was now bring in 543 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: some new voices, as I said, from Bucks dugout the 544 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: Pirates site. We discussed you know, this series in more 545 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: detail that these teams just played, and some big picture 546 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: questions regarding your Miami Marlins. 547 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 5: Enjoy The Marlins got a really great pitching performance out 548 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 5: of Sandy Alcantara and they won. And right now we 549 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 5: have Eli Sussman of Fish Stripes a part of sbnah. Eli, 550 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 5: how's it going. 551 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: It's well, when the team wins for the first time 552 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: in eleven days, it's going pretty good. 553 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 3: Thanks for inviting me, guys. 554 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 5: Of course, we're pleased to have you on. Yeah, the 555 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 5: Marlins were struggling a little bit there there. Now it's 556 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 5: five and thirty three. How many they lost? What? Eight straight? 557 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was their longest losing streak in more than 558 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: six years. The last time they had a losing streak 559 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: this long, they fired their manager and they replaced him 560 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,719 Speaker 1: by putting their GM as their manager. 561 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys remember that where the. 562 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: Marlins took their GM out of the front office and 563 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: turned him into their manager. And that's where we were 564 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,719 Speaker 1: the last time there was a losing streak like this, 565 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: So it devoked some very painful memories and it's good 566 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: to finally move past that. 567 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, they got a nice win today. I will say 568 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 5: the Marlins do have a very young and exciting team 569 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 5: right now. Jazz Chisholm junior, he's awesome, and then that 570 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 5: young pitching staff is really nice. The Marlins, it seems 571 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 5: like they're they're doing a pretty nice job with their rebuild, 572 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 5: if you will. And then got some former pirates there 573 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 5: too that we love in Starling Martin and Corey Dickerson. 574 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot to unpack there, for sure. 575 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: I guess, Well, what's been so strange is that this 576 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: losing streak has coincided with Starling returning from the injured list. 577 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: He has been out for more than a month of 578 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,719 Speaker 1: the year after fracturing a rib, and he had been 579 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: their best overall player for the first few weeks of 580 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: the season. 581 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 3: They missed him pretty dearly, and yet he came off. 582 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: The il and he was immediately, you know, back to 583 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: his old self, back to being just an exceptional all 584 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: round player. He's a pending free agent for the first time, 585 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: so I think that's part of the motivation that he's 586 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: playing the best of his career. And it was crazy 587 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: that they've just have not been able to win a 588 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: game for more than a week with him in the 589 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: lineup almost every day. 590 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 3: And he had a couple of key plays in this one. 591 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: He had There was that ball in the left center 592 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: field gap really deep that he ran down. I think 593 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: that was send one of those middle dings and to 594 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: keep Sandy al Contra still really efficient. 595 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 3: With his pitches, so that added up. I mean, there's 596 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 3: still a lot of. 597 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: Concerns about this Marlins team, even with those key individuals 598 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: you mentioned, because they've had issues on the left side 599 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: of their infield. As you saw some uncertainty with their 600 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: bullpen all of a sudden, and their rotation depth is 601 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: a mess, if you want to talk about. 602 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 3: That's that's kind of crazy. 603 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: Most of all, that they've made it this far into 604 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: the year with basically three starting pitchers. 605 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, and they have a six dose Sanchez. I'm not 606 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 5: sure when he's returning, but he's really nice as well. 607 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 5: It's fun to watch him pitch. I really enjoyed I 608 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 5: will say this about the Marlins. I really enjoyed last 609 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 5: season when they kicked the Cubs out of the playoffs, 610 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 5: and that was one to watch. 611 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that was extraordinary achievement for this team. I 612 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: mean it's when you're seventeen years moved from making the playoffs, 613 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: and most of those years the teams didn't even sniff 614 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: five hundred. Every little milestone that they reached last year 615 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: was significant. Making the playoffs was a big deal, but 616 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: it was almost just as important to advance in the 617 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: playoffs like that, especially when they were underdogs in that 618 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: series by their starting pitching in that series, and I 619 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: mean most people didn't. 620 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 3: Really expect them to beat the Cubs. 621 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: You know, the Cubs just had so many of those 622 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 1: familiar names and the expectation was they would just keep 623 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 1: doing kind of what they've been doing the last half decades. 624 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 3: So that was yeah, that was crazy. That was the 625 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 3: peak of probably enthusiasm around the team. 626 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 1: Is those cup that day and day and a half 627 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: really celebrating that milestone for sure? 628 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 5: For sure, Jake, we got to Brian Hayes back and 629 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 5: it was very exciting to watch him play. What'd you 630 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 5: think about his series overall and the Pirates overall this series? 631 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 6: Well, I will say I remember us talking about it 632 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 6: after the last series and we both made mention that 633 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 6: once Key Brian came back, we were gonna definitely see 634 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,959 Speaker 6: the big momentum change in this team. And I think 635 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 6: that I think that exceeded. Be like any expectations that 636 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,240 Speaker 6: we had, this team just looked like look a lot different. 637 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 6: In the positive note, when Key Brian came back, they 638 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 6: got another They got their hot young prospect back his 639 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,720 Speaker 6: their offense. It was spectacular to say the least. And 640 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 6: his I'm sure that his glove was missed on the 641 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 6: corner of the endfield. So really his return really fueled 642 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 6: this Pirates team, I think to really win this weekend, 643 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 6: and I think, uh, going forward, I think that's what we're 644 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 6: gonna keep seeing. I think we're going to see that 645 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 6: this team is energized by him, that this young this 646 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 6: young leader if you will, is back and leading the team. Uh, 647 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 6: and there's no more I guess gaps to fill in 648 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 6: and for in terms of leadership and overall talent on 649 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 6: the field. So I think that had a lot to 650 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 6: do with this weekend. And with his bat. He was 651 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 6: very hot offensively. I mean we saw a home run 652 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 6: in his second game back, he had multi hit game 653 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 6: his first game back with a triple Like it was 654 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 6: almost like he didn't miss a bed after missing almost 655 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 6: two months on the IL. So it was just spectacular 656 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,439 Speaker 6: to watch, honestly, and I hope that we see more 657 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 6: of this going forward, especially with competition like Daughters coming up. 658 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 6: But overall, I think this team just looked so much 659 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 6: better and more comfortable with Key Brian back. 660 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 7: He looked comfortable to be back. 661 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 6: And yeah, overall, my impressions of this weekend were just 662 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,879 Speaker 6: I know I haven't said much nice about this about 663 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 6: this team on the podcast, but I have lots of 664 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 6: nice things to say about this weekend. 665 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 7: So that's my impression. 666 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, if I could hop in there. 667 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: I was, this is a pleasure to watch him play, 668 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: because obviously these teams did not meet last year with 669 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: the regional schedule. So I've seen Kip Brian's stats from 670 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: last year, and I understood all the elements of his 671 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: game and exactly why people thought he was as exceptional 672 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 1: as he was, why he was kind of that consensus 673 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 1: preseason NL Rookie of the Year pick. He was breathtaking 674 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: in this series, and I thought I was nervous in 675 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,399 Speaker 1: that eighth inning. He came up in the eighth inning 676 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: representing the potential tying run against Sandy l Contra, and 677 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: Sandy was still pretty much on top of his game, 678 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: still throwing ninety three mile per hour change up and 679 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: all that, and even when he got two strikes on Hayes, 680 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: it was one change up after another that was well 681 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 1: located and Hayes either spat on it if it just 682 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 1: missed the zone, or he was fouling it off. And 683 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: finally he throws one that's just good enough to finish 684 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: him off. But overall, I guess Hayes for the series 685 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 1: probably hit like five hundred, and the defense as well. 686 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there was one play that sticks out to 687 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 1: me that it didn't even look that hard for him, 688 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: but it was a play like way to his left 689 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 1: side that was so effortless. And it's just from watching 690 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: him up close. Finally, I mean I've checked in on 691 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: him obviously as a big baseball fan the games that 692 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: he played before his injury in last year. But this 693 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: was a treat just to see him every single play 694 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 1: for four games of him. 695 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 3: He's pretty special. 696 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm curious about what you guys still think 697 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: about his Rookie of the Year chances because now he 698 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: only has what six games under his belt, but if 699 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: he stays healthy the rest of the way, he'll play 700 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: about one hundred of fingers crossed things go well. It 701 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,240 Speaker 1: just I mean, his talents is as someone that watches 702 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,280 Speaker 1: Jazz Chisholm Junior every day. With all due respect to Jazz, 703 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 1: I don't think it's really a contest that Hayes. Hayes 704 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: just jumps out as an even better all around talent. 705 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 3: He's amazing. 706 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: I think he still is a guy that it's going 707 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: to come down between someone like Trevor Rodgers on the Marlins, 708 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: who obviously pitched pretty well in this series as well. 709 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 3: But I think as long as if. 710 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 1: Anybody's going to like catch Trevor from behind, I think 711 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: would be somebody like Hayes. He's got amazing potential. 712 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, definitely. And you know, you guys have a 713 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 6: lot of young talent over there yourself. I wanted to 714 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 6: jump in earlier, but you guys are just going with 715 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 6: the conversation. But I want to flash it back to 716 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 6: all the young talents that the Marlins have. 717 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 7: One thing I want to highlight. 718 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 6: Is we mentioned Jazz Chisholm, but we also mentioned some 719 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 6: of the other young talents on the Marlins, such as 720 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 6: Trevor Rodgers. You know, he just came out of the 721 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,919 Speaker 6: woodwork and is making his case known for a Rookie 722 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 6: of the Year candidate. I was talking with a Marlins 723 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 6: writer earlier this year, Craig Mish, on another show that 724 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 6: I do, and he highlighted the young talent a lot 725 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 6: and said that there's a lot of potential for the 726 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 6: years to come for the Marlins. What's your take on 727 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 6: the stars besides Rogers and Chisholm, about how they're going 728 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 6: to really lead this team going forward. Now, obviously we 729 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 6: have the younger or the older talents like Hayes Zaki 730 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 6: Lar who had himself a fine weekend this weekend, but 731 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 6: with six zero coming back, and then all the other 732 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,400 Speaker 6: young talents that the Marlins have acquired in their rebuild, 733 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 6: what does this say about the future that they have 734 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 6: going forward on top of the young leaders they have. 735 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, it's been a fun start of the year. 736 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: Before this losing streak, he was kind of encouraging at 737 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,720 Speaker 1: the major league level, and even during this losing streak 738 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 1: and on the minor league level, it's been exceptional where 739 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: it's like some of their consensus top prospects like Max Meyer, 740 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 1: the first round draft pick, he's been as good as 741 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,720 Speaker 1: advertised in the minors. Hasius Sanchez and Laywan Diaz, former 742 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: top one hundred prospects. 743 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,399 Speaker 3: They're playing great at TRIPAA, knocking on the door. 744 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 1: But even beyond them, it's been so many pop up 745 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: prospects as well already in this short minor league season 746 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,240 Speaker 1: that get you really excited. 747 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 3: I guess we're recording this. 748 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 1: Jake Eaters about to make his next start at Double A, 749 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,760 Speaker 1: and he's been arguably the most dominant minor league starting 750 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 1: pitcher so far this year. A guy that was picked 751 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,799 Speaker 1: all the way in the fourth rounds this past year. 752 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,280 Speaker 1: That there's a lot of confidence in the pitching, obviously, 753 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 1: because we've seen it translate to the major league level 754 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: with San di al Contra, with Pablo Lopez, hopefully now 755 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: with six oh Sanchez once he gets healthy. Trevor Rodgers 756 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: being the best example because he was totally drafted and 757 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 1: developed by the organization. That there's so much confidence in 758 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 1: the pitching and all the waves, even though at the moment, 759 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: as I kind of hinted that they have a big 760 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: issue right now with their current rotation depth at the moment, 761 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: but hopefully that clears up within the next few weeks 762 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: and then certainly for the next few years beyond that. 763 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 1: They're in great shape with their pitching staff in every 764 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: sense of the word. But the question is with the offense, 765 00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: because they are really being carried a lot by those 766 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 1: veterans that are kind of year to year, with Haytiuzaguilar 767 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 1: being the best example. He has beloved in the clubhouse 768 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,880 Speaker 1: and by the fan base, and he has kind of 769 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 1: surprised people by playing even better this year than he 770 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,799 Speaker 1: did last year. But he's a first base only guy 771 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: who you just go year to year by those guys 772 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 1: do not age well, even though he's made some fun 773 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: changes to his diet this year, hoping to add some longevity. 774 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,839 Speaker 1: But guys at his position, with his body type, they 775 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: just have those limitations. Starling Marte I referenced him. He's 776 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: been awesome, but he's a pending free agent. They're going 777 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,399 Speaker 1: to have to pay a kind of contract that they've 778 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 1: never paid for anybody since the ownership change if they're 779 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: going to hold on to him. So with those questions, 780 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: with Corey Dickerson about to be a free agent, Adam 781 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 1: Duval likely going to be a free agent, they have 782 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 1: Those are the guys that have been so important for 783 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,439 Speaker 1: the most part, aside from Jazz Chishom Junior. So many 784 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,880 Speaker 1: of these position players, young position players have been busts 785 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: at the major league level. 786 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 3: Some of them the sample is still too small for 787 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 3: you to kind. 788 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: Of dismiss it, but almost everybody that has even gotten 789 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: an opportunity outside from Jazz has not gotten the job 790 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,800 Speaker 1: done at all. And that's kind of the biggest. Well, 791 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,320 Speaker 1: the two big concerns around the team are one about 792 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,839 Speaker 1: spending money, because they reduced payroll heading into this year, 793 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 1: and it's kind of unclear exactly how aggressive they'll be 794 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 1: in free agency moving forward. 795 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,399 Speaker 3: So that's one. Even though they have a new TV deal, 796 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 3: they've new revenue streams, they really don't have any excuses 797 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,799 Speaker 3: not to spend. But we'll see if they actually do it. 798 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 1: And then the other one is, yeah, about making these 799 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,359 Speaker 1: hitters actually translate to the majors, because there's just been 800 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 1: so many of these examples where it just has not 801 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: panned out for whatever reason. And so the question is 802 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: whether they finally get a few of these guys to stick, 803 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,239 Speaker 1: such as Jazz and when they call up in the 804 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: next wave later this year, we should be seeing his 805 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 1: sus Sanchez and maybe Lewan Diez and a few others. 806 00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 1: But if those guys don't stick, then they're in a 807 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,320 Speaker 1: position where a lot to make some very interesting deals 808 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 1: potentially to trade away their surplus of pitching to get 809 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 1: other position players that other organizations have already properly developed. 810 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,760 Speaker 1: That's the big question mark moving forward, And well probably 811 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,879 Speaker 1: it's a bigger question really for the off season than 812 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: right now, but still something that I think everybody's focused 813 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 1: on right now among the Marlins community. 814 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,240 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, let me ask you this about Starling 815 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 5: Marte so the Marlins, they're kind of in a position 816 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 5: right now where the trade deadline they could potentially deal 817 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 5: him to get something back, or they could try to 818 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 5: extend him after the season. Like you said, he's a 819 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,359 Speaker 5: free agent. What kind of deal do you think that 820 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,399 Speaker 5: Martin might get. I mean, he's thirty two right now. 821 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 5: I wouldn't expect like more than four or so years. 822 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,840 Speaker 5: But how much do you think he'll get on the 823 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:51,399 Speaker 5: open market? 824 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 3: Just curious? 825 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, Jake mentioned Craig Mish, who we kind of 826 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,359 Speaker 1: correspond with every single day. 827 00:43:58,480 --> 00:43:59,839 Speaker 3: He's a great Marlin source. 828 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 1: Early on in the year, he speculated that if Starling 829 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 1: was playing at this level he is currently playing on, 830 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 1: it would be yeah, four year deal, potentially north of 831 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,759 Speaker 1: seventy five million dollars. That seems a little bit of 832 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,840 Speaker 1: an overreaction because of just his track record prior to 833 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,760 Speaker 1: this year is he hasn't been quite as an elite 834 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 1: offensive player. If he keeps it up at this level, 835 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 1: I mean, if he is, you know, forty to fifty 836 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 1: percent better than the league average at the plate, if 837 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 1: he's getting on base and hitting for power and you know, 838 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 1: doing everything else he does, then maybe it is in 839 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 1: the realm of possibility that he gets in the high 840 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:37,239 Speaker 1: seventies or eighties million dollar range something like that. There's 841 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 1: a long windgo, you know, because of his age, because 842 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 1: of the history of guys deep into their thirties just 843 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: not sticking in center fields. He's been playing exclusively center 844 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 1: field since the Marlins have had him these parts of 845 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,239 Speaker 1: two seasons. But I mean, as the Pirates snow, he 846 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,359 Speaker 1: played a lot of left field for them, and I 847 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 1: imagine that that's where he'll be going back to at 848 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,400 Speaker 1: some point during the length of his next contract. And 849 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 1: the Marlins fine with that because they just all these 850 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,359 Speaker 1: young outfielders that they have. Some of them have great 851 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,080 Speaker 1: tools and got great scouting reports, and to this point 852 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 1: in the season, some great results in the minors as well, 853 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 1: but they just have not You cannot trust them in 854 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: the majors at this point. So Marlins really have questions 855 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,720 Speaker 1: at every outfield spot for the moment, and so they'd 856 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:23,359 Speaker 1: be thrilled to have Marte in there somewhere. But there's 857 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 1: going to be that temptation, as you mentioned that the deadline, 858 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,240 Speaker 1: so many teams are going to be inquiring about him. 859 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,560 Speaker 1: I mean, to me, I think it's a fairly simple. Well, 860 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,200 Speaker 1: it's not simple. It kind of depends, of course, on 861 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,399 Speaker 1: how the team performance does. We'll see exactly how much 862 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 1: a level things out like. I don't think I didn't 863 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 1: really phrase it this way so far on this chat, 864 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 1: but this has been a pretty devastating week for the team. 865 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's great that they finish off with a win, 866 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 1: but that's their only win in this entire week, and 867 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 1: they have these so many questions about their current roster 868 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 1: that's just hard to imagine them even flirting with five 869 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 1: hundred have any sort of interesting thing moving forward. I 870 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,320 Speaker 1: feel like they've kind of played their best baseball already 871 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 1: and it just has not made a whole lot of difference, 872 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,480 Speaker 1: even in a pretty mediocre division to this point. So 873 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 1: there's just I think it's relatively clear that there's just 874 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,319 Speaker 1: not a whole lot riding on this current season, which 875 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,800 Speaker 1: is going to lead to the temptation of maybe flipping Marte. 876 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 1: It's just that we've seen recently in baseball that these 877 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 1: guys on the final years of their contract, no matter 878 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 1: how good they are, you just don't get very much 879 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 1: in return. That's the thing is that no matter what, 880 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,880 Speaker 1: even if they create a bidding war among different teams. 881 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,400 Speaker 1: You're not going to get a big package for anybody 882 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,760 Speaker 1: that is on an expiring deal like he is. It's 883 00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 1: so I frankly, at this moment, it's hard to really 884 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 1: see what direction they're. 885 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 3: Going to go. 886 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 1: I have to double check my understanding because this is 887 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 1: an expiring collective bargaining agreement. I think they still do 888 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,839 Speaker 1: have that option of making a qualifying offer to him 889 00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 1: after the year, which I feel like would almost be 890 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,799 Speaker 1: the equivalent value of what they would actually get in. 891 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 3: A trade if they traded him during the year. These 892 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 3: it's a lot of questions. 893 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 1: It's a murky situation, and I imagine it's one that 894 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,879 Speaker 1: they're going to kind of hold out on as close 895 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:13,880 Speaker 1: to the deadline as possible. So that's kind of the 896 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:15,799 Speaker 1: easiest answer is that this is going to probably go 897 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 1: down pretty close to the deadline. In terms of deciding 898 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,719 Speaker 1: how to play it with Starling Marte, I. 899 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,000 Speaker 5: Want to do. I will say this about Starling Marte. 900 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,319 Speaker 5: I just looked up his stats and it's only been 901 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,800 Speaker 5: about one hundred played appearances, but it blows my mind 902 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,040 Speaker 5: that right now he's a twelve point four walk rate. 903 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 5: His career marks at about five percent, but yeah, he's 904 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 5: got potential to be a three hundred, four hundred and 905 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 5: five hundred guy. This season is on base right now, 906 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 5: it's four to h two. Once again, that blew my 907 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 5: mind because with the Pirates in general, he always was 908 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,200 Speaker 5: kind of he didn't have a bad on bass per se. 909 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 5: I mean, his career on base percent is just three 910 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,840 Speaker 5: forty two. That's nothing to complain about. But he was 911 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,480 Speaker 5: always kind of just really draw that many walks, to 912 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,839 Speaker 5: be honest, But this year, I mean that paired with 913 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,279 Speaker 5: his hit ability in general. I mean, he's always been 914 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,719 Speaker 5: a really good hitter, and I was reminded watching this 915 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 5: series just how damn rangee he is out there in 916 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,120 Speaker 5: center field still at this age. It's really impressive to watch. 917 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,800 Speaker 5: So I definitely will be interested to see what happens 918 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,400 Speaker 5: with Darlie Moore Tay whenever it's time for him to 919 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 5: get a new contract. 920 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,840 Speaker 1: There's a lot of enthusiasm among the fan base to 921 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,399 Speaker 1: bring him back for sure. I Mean, what will point 922 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,880 Speaker 1: out is that the Marlins, their pay roll outlook is 923 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,719 Speaker 1: tremendous all things considered. The biggest obligation on their payroll 924 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,399 Speaker 1: moving forward is believe it or not, it's money they 925 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,839 Speaker 1: owe the Yankees for gian Carlos Stanton, they still owe 926 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,479 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars on the back end of his deal 927 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 1: that gets paid in the middle of the decade, and 928 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:56,240 Speaker 1: that that contract alone is more than the total value 929 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 1: of all the actual player contracts of their own players 930 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 1: that on the books beyond this year. They could go 931 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,920 Speaker 1: in so many different directions. I mean, they do have 932 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 1: some guys that are coming up on arbitration finally, and 933 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 1: we'll be getting some decent raises from that. But they 934 00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 1: still have so much wiggle room if they want to 935 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,840 Speaker 1: go after almost any individual player they desire, and someone 936 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 1: like Marte, he's going to cost more money than they 937 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,880 Speaker 1: they've spent on free agents in the recent past. And 938 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,640 Speaker 1: one thing that Craig Mish did bring up on I 939 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 1: think his own podcast recently is the potential concern that 940 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:33,120 Speaker 1: because the Marlins paid Corey Dickerson a couple a two year, 941 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 1: seventeen point five million dollar deal and that so far 942 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,920 Speaker 1: has not really worked out the way they were expecting, 943 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,879 Speaker 1: his power has totally disappeared each of the last two years, 944 00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 1: that may make them kind of apprehensive about spending in 945 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:50,080 Speaker 1: free agency. Even a much larger total for a guy 946 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 1: when you know they've tried that didn't work out with 947 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,040 Speaker 1: Adam Duval was a much smaller investment. But so far 948 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,359 Speaker 1: with him, it's been a really weird year where he's 949 00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,880 Speaker 1: been exceptional defensively and he's been driving in a lot 950 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,080 Speaker 1: of runs, but he just doesn't get on base enough 951 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:07,520 Speaker 1: whatsoever to make it like a really consistent offense that overall, 952 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 1: with these free agent moves they've made so far, the 953 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,239 Speaker 1: kind of mediocre results may make them shy away a 954 00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:16,359 Speaker 1: little bit from bringing anybody back, But of course they 955 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,759 Speaker 1: kind of know Mark. They have this luxury of knowing 956 00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,480 Speaker 1: Marte pretty well at this point, from having him down 957 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,080 Speaker 1: the stretch last year, having him around in the playoffs 958 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 1: even though he got hurt in the playoffs, and then 959 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:27,440 Speaker 1: around this year. 960 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 3: So it's it's it's a really fascinating question. Probably another 961 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 3: wrinkle to. 962 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 1: It is if they do trade him, would he consider 963 00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,920 Speaker 1: actually coming back as a free agent even after that happens. 964 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,000 Speaker 3: You know that has happens a couple. 965 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 1: Times in recent baseball history, but obviously not with the 966 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 1: Marlins in that situation, that would be, you know, the 967 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,759 Speaker 1: best of all worlds. I guess because, as I already said, 968 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,200 Speaker 1: you know, this losing streak really dashed a lot of 969 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,839 Speaker 1: the goals they had for this season. It's just hard 970 00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:58,000 Speaker 1: to really see that path to being even like on 971 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,920 Speaker 1: the outside of playoff contention that, yeah, the best of 972 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,719 Speaker 1: all worlds would be to trade him and get a 973 00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,360 Speaker 1: lot in return and then sign him. 974 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,239 Speaker 3: A deal that everybody's comfortable with. But yeah, it's really 975 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 3: hard to thread that needle. 976 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel that as a fan of a team 977 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:18,800 Speaker 5: without the luxury of spending a dime, I definitely feel 978 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,840 Speaker 5: that shipping back to the Pirates a little bit. I 979 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,000 Speaker 5: do want to say, Brian Hayes, I mean, he's played 980 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:28,600 Speaker 5: six games, he's already fifth on among Pirates position players 981 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,880 Speaker 5: in f ward at a zero point four, So that's 982 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:36,160 Speaker 5: pretty hilarious. I'll say two, it is. It's nice. It's 983 00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:40,320 Speaker 5: refreshing to see that the Pirates have a pretty decent 984 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,720 Speaker 5: top four now with Colin Moran back in their lineup, 985 00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:45,840 Speaker 5: and even if you want to say top five with 986 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,080 Speaker 5: Stallings in there, it's nice to see the Pirates have 987 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:54,439 Speaker 5: a major league offense right now at this point. Jake, 988 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:55,960 Speaker 5: I don't know what do you think about that. 989 00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:58,640 Speaker 7: It is nice to see. 990 00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,600 Speaker 6: It's definitely a good change of patience, especially as you 991 00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 6: mentioned it's for a franchise. It really doesn't spend much 992 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,640 Speaker 6: on the team. To get the production from at least 993 00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,840 Speaker 6: half of your lineup is something that I think not 994 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,359 Speaker 6: many people if you were to go up and tell 995 00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 6: him that, I feel like they'd laugh in your face. 996 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 6: But it's good to see that happen, especially with Key 997 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 6: Brian back. I just think it's going to keep going up. 998 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,600 Speaker 6: As far as say, like Stallings or Moran, that's a 999 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 6: big question mark because Stallings, he's not that consistent. 1000 00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:30,759 Speaker 7: Hitter that could I guess. 1001 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 6: I guess I could really go up there and you know, 1002 00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,400 Speaker 6: improve his individual bar. But I mean he delivers in 1003 00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,359 Speaker 6: the clutch, which might have a skewed effect on it. 1004 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:43,120 Speaker 6: But overall, I'm glad to see that Key Brian Hayes 1005 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 6: is back, and I don't think it should come as 1006 00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,200 Speaker 6: a shock to most people that his f war is 1007 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:51,040 Speaker 6: already is already like right there with all the top 1008 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:51,719 Speaker 6: players on the team. 1009 00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,120 Speaker 7: I mean, we kind of knew this going. 1010 00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, we got a speaker request right here, Garrett. Garrett's 1011 00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:58,920 Speaker 5: what is what's going on? 1012 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:00,960 Speaker 3: Man, what's going on? 1013 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 8: Nathan? What's going on? 1014 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:01,920 Speaker 3: Jake? 1015 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:02,440 Speaker 7: What's going on? 1016 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:03,240 Speaker 8: Eli? 1017 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 7: I was listening for a bit. 1018 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,239 Speaker 9: I wanted to wait before I before I started to 1019 00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,839 Speaker 9: hop in here the like I said, both obviously both 1020 00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,840 Speaker 9: both of these teams unfortunately probably aren't going to defense 1021 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:19,520 Speaker 9: season about five hundred, but they, like as Jerry mentioned 1022 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,680 Speaker 9: in the chat, I mean, they meet later on this 1023 00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 9: season in September, and I think, like, you're gonna see 1024 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,600 Speaker 9: like a ton of young talents on that field, uh 1025 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,680 Speaker 9: because like because normally as most teams who are out 1026 00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,080 Speaker 9: of like we're out of the race by late and season, 1027 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,439 Speaker 9: they're playing a tourn of their young talents that they've 1028 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,000 Speaker 9: that they've had on the farm, uh for either either 1029 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:40,960 Speaker 9: for a couple of years for most of the season. 1030 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:45,600 Speaker 9: But Nathan, I'm not sure if it was your Jake 1031 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,560 Speaker 9: that brought that brought up Corey dicks on Eli who 1032 00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,160 Speaker 9: brought it up. But I think if the Marllins decided 1033 00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,600 Speaker 9: not to like trade Starlin and maybe try to resign 1034 00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 9: him in the off season, or whether they trade them 1035 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,600 Speaker 9: the or signed them, seeing whichever they prefer, would they 1036 00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:04,399 Speaker 9: would I mean, would the Mallins one consider trading Corey 1037 00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,239 Speaker 9: Dickerson and maybe just trying to recoup some of the 1038 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 9: value that they haven't got out of him, and just 1039 00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,160 Speaker 9: maybe try to maybe get one of their young guys, 1040 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,120 Speaker 9: one of the young outfitters who are who are uh? 1041 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:15,560 Speaker 7: Who are who are coming up? 1042 00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,799 Speaker 9: And for you, Nathan, since I think you cover the 1043 00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:23,680 Speaker 9: Pirates here, how like how many AB's or games or 1044 00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,719 Speaker 9: whatever do you think it'll do? You think it would 1045 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,200 Speaker 9: take if if he has anything for Colin Moran, do 1046 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,680 Speaker 9: you think for him to maybe be able to at 1047 00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,080 Speaker 9: least a qual enough trade value where the pirates can 1048 00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,040 Speaker 9: where the Powers probably definitely consider trading him. 1049 00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,560 Speaker 8: Come, there's a lot there first trade, if not beforehand. 1050 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll let you take that first one first. Yeah. 1051 00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:45,040 Speaker 3: Well that's the dream. 1052 00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,960 Speaker 1: The dream for them would be to flip Corey Dickerson 1053 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,640 Speaker 1: to get something in return. I just don't think that's 1054 00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:54,000 Speaker 1: realistic right now, because you know, last year he was shaky. 1055 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,800 Speaker 1: Last year even his defense was kind of uncharacteristically shaky 1056 00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,280 Speaker 1: for a guy that kind of recently won that Actional 1057 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:04,000 Speaker 1: League Gold Glove, as you guys will probably remember. And 1058 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 1: then this year his defense has been a little bit better, 1059 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,040 Speaker 1: but just no power whatsoever. Even though we did finally 1060 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,319 Speaker 1: hit a home run this week, only a second one 1061 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:11,960 Speaker 1: of the season. 1062 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:13,920 Speaker 3: It's just strange. 1063 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 1: I mean, there's really nothing in his underlying just watching 1064 00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,000 Speaker 1: him every day, there's just not a whole lot of 1065 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,000 Speaker 1: confidence in him snapping back into. 1066 00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 3: His old form. 1067 00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,279 Speaker 1: It really is a pretty big mystery about how he 1068 00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,880 Speaker 1: was hitting for great power down the stretch in twenty nineteen, 1069 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,319 Speaker 1: and that's what the Marlins were banking on getting and 1070 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:34,879 Speaker 1: that has not come through. For watching him every day, 1071 00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, an unfortunate thing that sticks out, I think 1072 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:38,719 Speaker 1: more so. 1073 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,520 Speaker 3: Than anybody else in baseball. That's not an exaggeration. 1074 00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,840 Speaker 1: I think more so than any other player in baseball, 1075 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,440 Speaker 1: he disappoints with runners in scoring position. 1076 00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,240 Speaker 3: I mean, the overall numbers. 1077 00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:49,680 Speaker 1: Are kind of alright, you know, close to the league 1078 00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:52,720 Speaker 1: average as a player overall, but with runners in scoring position, 1079 00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:56,399 Speaker 1: he just consistently does not get the job done. 1080 00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 3: And today I. 1081 00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:02,359 Speaker 1: Kind of sarcastically tweeted out that he got a run 1082 00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,759 Speaker 1: in because of an error by the Pirates when he 1083 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,680 Speaker 1: was up at that with a couple of runners on potential. 1084 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,480 Speaker 3: Double play ball that he hit or one that should. 1085 00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,000 Speaker 1: Have been an easy out and they kind of lucked 1086 00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,040 Speaker 1: out to take the lead, and they didn't get that 1087 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 1: lead back. Really, the only thing he has going for 1088 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,480 Speaker 1: him is that he puts the ball in play. He 1089 00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,839 Speaker 1: is a good teammate, of course and all that, but 1090 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,600 Speaker 1: I just don't think he helps. I don't think any 1091 00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,600 Speaker 1: like contending team would want to actually play him in any. 1092 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,359 Speaker 3: Sort of regular role. There's all that money that he's owed. 1093 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,400 Speaker 1: Even if the Marlins eat all the money, I just 1094 00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,080 Speaker 1: don't know he has much positive. 1095 00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,080 Speaker 3: Trade value at the moment. So we'll see. 1096 00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:37,880 Speaker 1: You know, there's a long way to go until the deadline, 1097 00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,719 Speaker 1: but that's kind that's definitely what they're hoping for, is 1098 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,840 Speaker 1: that there's some sort of resurgence and that something clicks 1099 00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,080 Speaker 1: in him, because that has not been the case, you know, 1100 00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:47,399 Speaker 1: so far in his Marlins career. 1101 00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, I will say the whenever Corey Dickerson was on 1102 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,359 Speaker 5: the Pirates that I kind of like expected that that 1103 00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,200 Speaker 5: twenty home run guy. But I feel like he had 1104 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,719 Speaker 5: a in approach where he used to be, like, you know, 1105 00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:06,120 Speaker 5: a two sixty hitter, where he'd hit twenty five or 1106 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,160 Speaker 5: so home runs, But when he came to the Pirates, 1107 00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:11,520 Speaker 5: he just sold out completely for contact. And I mean 1108 00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,680 Speaker 5: he hit three hundred with the Pirates, which was nice, 1109 00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:15,920 Speaker 5: but yeah, the power. 1110 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:16,520 Speaker 3: Was just sapped. 1111 00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 5: And like you see it too, his his two strike 1112 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,320 Speaker 5: approach where it's like he chokes up halfway. 1113 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:22,439 Speaker 1: Up the bat. 1114 00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:26,760 Speaker 5: It's it's kind of funny to watch on Moran. I'll 1115 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:30,040 Speaker 5: say this, Jake, you could tackle this too. So with 1116 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:33,520 Speaker 5: Colin Moran, I mean I will say I have always 1117 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,120 Speaker 5: been a Colin Moran hater, but I have turned around 1118 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,120 Speaker 5: and I do enjoy watching him play. And like I 1119 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,560 Speaker 5: kind of mentioned earlier, it is nice to see an actual, 1120 00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:46,959 Speaker 5: real life, breathing first baseman that can hit. This year, 1121 00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 5: I mean he is hitting. He's hitting two ninety seven, 1122 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,240 Speaker 5: three fifty two, four sixty eight with the one twenty 1123 00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 5: seven WRC. Plus He's not great in the field, he's decent. 1124 00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:01,120 Speaker 5: I just he's a decent first baseman in trade value wise. 1125 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,080 Speaker 5: I mean he's a free agent in twenty twenty four, 1126 00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,680 Speaker 5: so he does have some years of control. I mean 1127 00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:12,880 Speaker 5: maybe a team needs a DH and like or first basement, 1128 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:17,120 Speaker 5: but trade value wise, I just they could definitely get 1129 00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,520 Speaker 5: something for him. I just I don't think it'll be 1130 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,320 Speaker 5: I don't think it'll be a ton Jake, what do 1131 00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:22,800 Speaker 5: you think? 1132 00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:27,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, I I've been to calling Marianne fans since day one, and. 1133 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:30,360 Speaker 7: I don't think. 1134 00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:32,760 Speaker 6: I know that's hard to think of because we traded 1135 00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:34,480 Speaker 6: away Garrett Cole for him, but I think he was 1136 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:39,200 Speaker 6: a very promising guy, and considering the Pirates organizational depth 1137 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 6: at first Base isn't quite what we want it to be. 1138 00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,360 Speaker 6: I don't see us trying to get rid of marian 1139 00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:48,640 Speaker 6: as soon as some people may think. Right the only 1140 00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,160 Speaker 6: and there's a lot of good factors that go with 1141 00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,400 Speaker 6: marian such as his defense and a stick, but there's 1142 00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:58,080 Speaker 6: also a few negative tangibles that people don't really approve of. 1143 00:58:58,240 --> 00:58:59,160 Speaker 7: One of them is his speed. 1144 00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:02,560 Speaker 6: He has no speed all and he his full on 1145 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:03,840 Speaker 6: sprint looks like he's dogging it. 1146 00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 7: I'm just gonna put it out there like that, and 1147 00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,520 Speaker 7: I'm just being truthful just from what I'm seeing. 1148 00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,320 Speaker 6: And I don't think his trade value is necessarily high 1149 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,280 Speaker 6: right now, and as Nathan mentioned, he still has years 1150 00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:16,440 Speaker 6: of control in his contract. 1151 00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:19,040 Speaker 7: I don't think. I don't. 1152 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,120 Speaker 6: I don't really think the Pirates are ready to ship 1153 00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:23,360 Speaker 6: him off just yet. Maybe once we get to maybe 1154 00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,000 Speaker 6: two years left. Maybe one Murray he's in his last 1155 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,240 Speaker 6: year or something like that. We might see a little 1156 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,400 Speaker 6: bit of trade talks because I think with the Will 1157 00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,720 Speaker 6: Craig experiment failing, but maybe Martin promising to be a 1158 00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:37,080 Speaker 6: good first basement in the Pirates organization. I think that 1159 00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:40,440 Speaker 6: it's too scarce right now to really start considering deals 1160 00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,720 Speaker 6: for Moran. I think we're gonna keep him around for 1161 00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,480 Speaker 6: a few more years, especially with his consistent offense. I 1162 00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 6: think he's going to be part of the team for 1163 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,160 Speaker 6: the next few years. No, it's not, you know, not 1164 00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:51,800 Speaker 6: negative to say that he could be traded in the 1165 00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,840 Speaker 6: next few years. Maybe someone will you know, reverse archer 1166 00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 6: Us with Miran. But I don't think that we're gonna 1167 00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:01,720 Speaker 6: get I don't think we're gonna start hearing offers from 1168 01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:04,520 Speaker 6: ran here uh in the coming and then and then. 1169 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,080 Speaker 8: Okay, oh my bad, Nathan. 1170 01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:09,160 Speaker 5: Oh no, go ahead, go ahead. 1171 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,840 Speaker 9: Well number one, I did not know Marin wasn gonna 1172 01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:14,360 Speaker 9: be a free agent until twenty twenty four. 1173 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,720 Speaker 8: That is news to me. Thank thank you Nathan and 1174 01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,920 Speaker 8: Jake for bringing that up. I did not know that. 1175 01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:21,160 Speaker 9: I thought he was a free agent closer, But I 1176 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,880 Speaker 9: guess that that just showed I don't follow the Powates enough. 1177 01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,240 Speaker 9: So that's a little wrong on my part, but it's 1178 01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,560 Speaker 9: it's okay. I mean, you give me you living your learne. 1179 01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,640 Speaker 9: That's the blessing of being in a note, being able 1180 01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,440 Speaker 9: to talk to people like y'all who follow follow these teams. 1181 01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:37,200 Speaker 9: So so now, I mean, okay, So now I think 1182 01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:39,240 Speaker 9: I think that was That was the only question I 1183 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,960 Speaker 9: really had was really what called Marink. I thought he 1184 01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,960 Speaker 9: was close to free agency. Apparently he's not. Apparently he's 1185 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,920 Speaker 9: like really he's now he's like three years away instead 1186 01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:49,840 Speaker 9: of like a year or year and a half away. 1187 01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,880 Speaker 9: So thank you for bringing that to my attention. I 1188 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:53,920 Speaker 9: definitely appreciate it. 1189 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 1: Co Well, you know who's a guy is coming in 1190 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,920 Speaker 1: that same situation, probably even more valuable to the Pirates 1191 01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:03,640 Speaker 1: than Marin is Jacob Stallings. 1192 01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:05,120 Speaker 3: And he's a guy that on. 1193 01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:08,640 Speaker 1: Marlins Twitter there we're falling in love with him, just 1194 01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:12,320 Speaker 1: because that just speaks to how much of a mess 1195 01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,600 Speaker 1: Marlins catching position has been, you know, the last couple 1196 01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:17,240 Speaker 1: of years. But I know he has a million years 1197 01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 1: of control left in him and all that is there 1198 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 1: any inkling that he's a guy that is there any 1199 01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:26,440 Speaker 1: price that the Pirates would be willing to accept on 1200 01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:27,880 Speaker 1: him at like coming up? 1201 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:29,040 Speaker 3: Maybe not in the trade. 1202 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:30,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure that's probably a better question for like the 1203 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:34,280 Speaker 1: off season than the trade deadline. But yeah, I'm curious 1204 01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,920 Speaker 1: about you guys think about that because with the Marlins, 1205 01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:42,000 Speaker 1: they just are really in a bind with with that position, 1206 01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:44,240 Speaker 1: you know, right now and then for the foreseeable future, 1207 01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,320 Speaker 1: because there's just not that many of those impact catchers 1208 01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:50,440 Speaker 1: that become available in free agency, and the team just 1209 01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,840 Speaker 1: as not of any prospects that are anywhere like close 1210 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,720 Speaker 1: to being in the majors and coming up through their 1211 01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,560 Speaker 1: own system at the position, So they're just kind of 1212 01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:01,880 Speaker 1: grasping at any decent that's out there on a potential 1213 01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:05,720 Speaker 1: selling team. Yeah, what's the situation with him and like 1214 01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:07,960 Speaker 1: how he fits with the Pirates future. 1215 01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:13,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, the thing with Stallings, it's funny because he came 1216 01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:17,280 Speaker 5: up he was not highly regarded. He is the true 1217 01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:21,760 Speaker 5: definition of a grinder, say, because he really did earn 1218 01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,960 Speaker 5: his current spot now and I like Stallings. I mean, 1219 01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 5: once again, he's thirty one right now and he's a 1220 01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,800 Speaker 5: free agent in twenty twenty five, so it's gonna be 1221 01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:32,920 Speaker 5: a while for him. If I was the Pirates, I 1222 01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:36,040 Speaker 5: would most definitely listen on Jacob Stallings if the team 1223 01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,800 Speaker 5: wants to kind of overpay a bit for that. I mean, 1224 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:43,600 Speaker 5: he has been really good, h solid defense, and then 1225 01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:46,440 Speaker 5: if you get a WRC plus of one to twelve 1226 01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:48,840 Speaker 5: out of your catcher, I mean you can't complain at all. 1227 01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,880 Speaker 5: He gets on base, he walks, he he's just he's 1228 01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:54,800 Speaker 5: a nice guy I feel like to have in the 1229 01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,440 Speaker 5: clubhouse too. I feel like his teammates like him. Like 1230 01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:00,680 Speaker 5: Jake said, he has been clutch as hell this season. 1231 01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,680 Speaker 5: He's He's come up with many big hits. 1232 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,480 Speaker 3: But I'm not sure. 1233 01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:07,480 Speaker 7: The thing with the Pirates too. 1234 01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:13,480 Speaker 5: Though, is besides Stallings, there is absolutely zero catching catching 1235 01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:17,200 Speaker 5: depth whatsoever. So if they trade him, I mean it's 1236 01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,080 Speaker 5: it's gonna be Michael Perez for the whole season, which 1237 01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,080 Speaker 5: hasn't been a great experience so far. 1238 01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:24,080 Speaker 3: So I'm not sure. 1239 01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, like I said, if I'm if I'm 1240 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:30,360 Speaker 5: the GM, anyone's on the table. If I get my 1241 01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,360 Speaker 5: h if I get blown away with an offer, I'm 1242 01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:37,320 Speaker 5: trading him. But I don't think this season. You said 1243 01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,800 Speaker 5: maybe in the off season they could they can listen 1244 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,000 Speaker 5: on but I'm not sure. But Jake, what do you think. 1245 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:46,200 Speaker 6: I I think we could actually start listening to deals 1246 01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:48,920 Speaker 6: on him because looking at the catching prospects that we 1247 01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,520 Speaker 6: have coming up, we if we're still in the rebuilding 1248 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:53,800 Speaker 6: process where we're not expected to win for a few years, 1249 01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:56,240 Speaker 6: I would take maybe a season of Michael Perez and 1250 01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:57,880 Speaker 6: then maybe get some of the guys in Triple A, 1251 01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:00,480 Speaker 6: maybe even Double A up, because I'm at who we 1252 01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,160 Speaker 6: have down the pipeline, and right now, Joe Hudson has 1253 01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:05,240 Speaker 6: been pretty good for us, at least from what I 1254 01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,200 Speaker 6: saw in spring training and from what I from what 1255 01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 6: I'm hearing in Triple A, he's not that bad. You 1256 01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,080 Speaker 6: look at Double A, Arden past is coming out of 1257 01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,680 Speaker 6: the woodwork. He's been hitting a ton, He's been throwing 1258 01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 6: out runners at second like no man's business. So I 1259 01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,120 Speaker 6: think we have some depth that we can and then well, 1260 01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:23,000 Speaker 6: let's not forget about the elephant in the room with 1261 01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:26,160 Speaker 6: Andy Rodriguez down there and low A. I think it is, 1262 01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:30,440 Speaker 6: but we have formidable catching prospects coming up, So I 1263 01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,080 Speaker 6: think if that, I don't say we give him away 1264 01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:34,640 Speaker 6: for you know, relatively cheap. 1265 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:36,080 Speaker 7: I'm not saying he's on a clearance rack. 1266 01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,560 Speaker 6: But what I'm saying is, if there is a good 1267 01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:41,240 Speaker 6: offer that comes our way for Jacob Stallings, say there 1268 01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:43,120 Speaker 6: is a team that's on the brink of contention and 1269 01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,800 Speaker 6: they need a clutch catcher who is good defensively and 1270 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,800 Speaker 6: can get things going offensively. I think Stallings is your guy, 1271 01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:51,040 Speaker 6: and I think they can start listening to offers on him, 1272 01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:52,920 Speaker 6: and I think we'll be protected by the young talent 1273 01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,280 Speaker 6: we have down down on the farm with catching. Wise, 1274 01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:58,960 Speaker 6: Michael Perez obviously is not part of the long term 1275 01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:01,800 Speaker 6: future part of and he actually sees us having a 1276 01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,920 Speaker 6: platoon of catchers featuring Andy Rodriguez and Arden Paps in 1277 01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:08,600 Speaker 6: the MLB. I'm dead serious. I'm sold on Arden Paps, 1278 01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:10,760 Speaker 6: that guy. I watched him a few years ago down 1279 01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:12,920 Speaker 6: in Altoona when he was first getting up there, and 1280 01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:14,560 Speaker 6: then now this season he's hitting a ton. 1281 01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:15,840 Speaker 7: I think we're safe. 1282 01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:17,720 Speaker 6: So I think if we have I would say it's 1283 01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:19,920 Speaker 6: the green light to start listening to offers on Stallings. 1284 01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,440 Speaker 6: It's unfortunate. I loved watching him play, but I mean, 1285 01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:25,080 Speaker 6: I think we have enough depth. We have way more 1286 01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:26,760 Speaker 6: depth than we do at first base. So I think 1287 01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,920 Speaker 6: affording us a few offers would be I think it's 1288 01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,680 Speaker 6: I think it's very reasonable, especially in the near future, 1289 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,920 Speaker 6: for a breakups contention team that would offer the right 1290 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:39,480 Speaker 6: price for him. So I'm gonna go with yes, I 1291 01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:41,520 Speaker 6: say we should start listening to offers on him because 1292 01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:43,200 Speaker 6: I think we got some good protection down the line 1293 01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:43,560 Speaker 6: with our. 1294 01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,720 Speaker 5: ELI. I'll ask you this, We'll give you Jacob Stallings 1295 01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:49,680 Speaker 5: for six those stanchaz straight up. 1296 01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:50,480 Speaker 3: What do you think of that? 1297 01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:55,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a sore spot right now because we haven't 1298 01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,440 Speaker 1: gone into this, but six those status is starting to 1299 01:05:58,520 --> 01:05:59,600 Speaker 1: raise some eyebrows. 1300 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:02,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, this really minor injury. 1301 01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:05,000 Speaker 1: He was supposed to it was options out of spring 1302 01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:07,320 Speaker 1: training because it wasn't fully stretched out to be a 1303 01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,040 Speaker 1: starter yet, and he. 1304 01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:11,320 Speaker 3: Was supposed to join the rotation early in the year. 1305 01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:13,640 Speaker 1: And then one of his final tune ups at their 1306 01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,880 Speaker 1: alternate training SID he gets a minor shoulder issue. 1307 01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:19,080 Speaker 3: He starts throwing, it starts. 1308 01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:22,480 Speaker 1: A throwing program like in mid April, almost two months ago, 1309 01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:24,840 Speaker 1: and he just has not made much progress at all 1310 01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:29,040 Speaker 1: on that throwing program and now recently like totally pausing 1311 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,200 Speaker 1: that to begin with. This is something that we discussed 1312 01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,640 Speaker 1: on Fish Stripes and on my podcast. Now it's just 1313 01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:37,040 Speaker 1: shaping up to be a really lost season for him. 1314 01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:40,320 Speaker 1: Like best case scenario, maybe he is ready to be 1315 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:44,040 Speaker 1: in the rotation again in late July. That's what we're 1316 01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:46,480 Speaker 1: talking about, where at this point, you know, two thirds 1317 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,760 Speaker 1: of the season will probably be gone before he gets 1318 01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:50,800 Speaker 1: called up, and it's kind of it's really screwed up 1319 01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,439 Speaker 1: his whole trajectory, and it's raising some my brows because 1320 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:56,240 Speaker 1: not getting a clear answer from the team about you know, 1321 01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,840 Speaker 1: whether he's aggravated the injury or what exactly is the. 1322 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:03,240 Speaker 3: Album, but I mean under normal circumstances. I love the guy. 1323 01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,480 Speaker 1: I was such a pleasure to watch him, not even 1324 01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:09,520 Speaker 1: in the majors, but actually in Double A in twenty nineteen. 1325 01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,280 Speaker 1: I watched so many of those outings and it's clear just 1326 01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:14,760 Speaker 1: how much pitchability he has. It's not just the raw 1327 01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:17,560 Speaker 1: stuff us a guy that really knows how to pitch 1328 01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,200 Speaker 1: and is such a joy to watch, so efficient with 1329 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,080 Speaker 1: his pitches that he's going to be He's going to 1330 01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:26,600 Speaker 1: be a great starting pitcher as long as he's healthy. 1331 01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:28,840 Speaker 1: And that's been the question, you know, throughout his minor 1332 01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:31,560 Speaker 1: league career, and that's the question now, and they're really 1333 01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,640 Speaker 1: missing him right now, you know, to stabilize it back 1334 01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:38,000 Speaker 1: into their rotation and to bring some enthusiasm because right now, 1335 01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:39,440 Speaker 1: you know, the guy that's kind of doing all the 1336 01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:43,440 Speaker 1: heavy lifting in that enthusiasm department. It's been jazz Chism Junior. 1337 01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,080 Speaker 1: And it's been a little bit of startling and a 1338 01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:46,680 Speaker 1: little bit of Haitius Aguilar. 1339 01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:48,080 Speaker 3: And on their pitchers. 1340 01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:50,560 Speaker 1: But they they six Tho is the guy that, you know, 1341 01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:53,000 Speaker 1: if we started twenty twenty one, he was the guy 1342 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,200 Speaker 1: they pointed to as the potential face of the franchise. 1343 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,000 Speaker 1: And it's been it's been a big bummer, you know, 1344 01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:01,080 Speaker 1: for everybody to have a missing but I mean, of course, 1345 01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,160 Speaker 1: I mean, who am I talking to. I'm talking to 1346 01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:06,080 Speaker 1: guys that spent most of this year without Cabrian Hayes, 1347 01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:08,520 Speaker 1: and you know exactly how that feels to have such 1348 01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:11,120 Speaker 1: a key piece that's been missing and that is so 1349 01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,120 Speaker 1: important to evaluate at the major league level. 1350 01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:14,800 Speaker 3: So yeah, it's nothing that. 1351 01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,160 Speaker 1: Marlins fan should be complaining about more than any other team. 1352 01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:20,280 Speaker 1: But it's that's kind of been a big story this 1353 01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:22,320 Speaker 1: whole season. It's just all these injuries to all these 1354 01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:23,400 Speaker 1: dynamic young players. 1355 01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:25,760 Speaker 5: Yeah for everyone too. You know, I will say this 1356 01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:29,960 Speaker 5: about Sanchez, I personally am very sad about his uh 1357 01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:35,080 Speaker 5: his availability because I drafted him in fantasy, so that. 1358 01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not alone. I remember the conversation. 1359 01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:39,519 Speaker 1: I'm not a huge fantasy guy, but I just remember 1360 01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,960 Speaker 1: the conversations in the in spring training about kind of 1361 01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,479 Speaker 1: him and Sandy al Contra and Pablo Lopez all kind 1362 01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:48,559 Speaker 1: of all being you know, heads head and head, which 1363 01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,360 Speaker 1: one of those guys is going to be the most 1364 01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,280 Speaker 1: valuable over the course of this season, Like that was 1365 01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:55,160 Speaker 1: a very legitimate question. Is which of those guys is 1366 01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:57,640 Speaker 1: going to have the best overall season. They all do 1367 01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:01,160 Speaker 1: a lot of good things, and we so far this year, Will, Sandy, 1368 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:04,400 Speaker 1: and Pablo have been almost exactly what the Marlins would 1369 01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,599 Speaker 1: have hoped for this year in their age twenty five seasons. 1370 01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:09,599 Speaker 1: And in the fact that six zero has been nothing, 1371 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:12,800 Speaker 1: it's it's been a big bummer for the year for sure. 1372 01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:14,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1373 01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,599 Speaker 5: Uh, before we wrap things up here real quick, I'm 1374 01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:20,760 Speaker 5: just gonna look at the upcoming schedules for both of 1375 01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:24,240 Speaker 5: these teams. It's funny the Marlins have the random Monday 1376 01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:29,320 Speaker 5: makeup game at Boston before uh, they have to go, 1377 01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:32,479 Speaker 5: and they'll host Colorado for three and then Atlanta for three, 1378 01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,000 Speaker 5: so they should be able to handle Colorado. I will 1379 01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,920 Speaker 5: say that the Pirates were able to handle them last weekend. 1380 01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:42,479 Speaker 10: So the wait, good, Nathan, is that series with the 1381 01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:45,240 Speaker 10: Marlins against the Rockies is that in Is that in 1382 01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:46,040 Speaker 10: Miami or. 1383 01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,480 Speaker 3: Is that in Miami? 1384 01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:50,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, the Marlins had a six game. 1385 01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:52,840 Speaker 10: Then yeah, the Marlin should handle the Rockies because the 1386 01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,160 Speaker 10: Rockies they they're not very good on the road. 1387 01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:57,720 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, as an understatement, man, I mean the. 1388 01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,120 Speaker 7: To be bodies, but you know, it is what it is. 1389 01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:07,960 Speaker 10: Yeah, go ahead and cut you off there, I like, yeah. 1390 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:08,439 Speaker 4: Uh. 1391 01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:12,200 Speaker 5: And then the Pirates their schedule not so easy. They 1392 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:16,320 Speaker 5: will host the Dodgers for three and actually it's it's 1393 01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:18,120 Speaker 5: kind of rough here for the Pirates for a little bit. 1394 01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:20,120 Speaker 5: They host the Dodgers for three, and then they go 1395 01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:25,360 Speaker 5: to Milwaukee, then to Washington, and then they come back 1396 01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:28,000 Speaker 5: and they get the Indians, who aren't like super great, 1397 01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 5: but they're better than the Pirates. And then they host uh, 1398 01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:35,599 Speaker 5: the White Sox for two. That's a another hard team, 1399 01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:37,720 Speaker 5: and then they go to Saint Louis so the rest 1400 01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:41,280 Speaker 5: of this month, the Pirates will probably if you guys bet, 1401 01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:45,360 Speaker 5: the Pirates will probably be underdogs in every single one 1402 01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:45,840 Speaker 5: of those games. 1403 01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:46,400 Speaker 3: I would match. 1404 01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:52,000 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I'm really dreading the series the Dodgers. The 1405 01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:53,640 Speaker 6: only thing I'm happy about is that we get the 1406 01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:55,640 Speaker 6: back end of the rotation. I think the hardest one 1407 01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,280 Speaker 6: we have to face is probably Walker Bueller. I don't 1408 01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,240 Speaker 6: think Trevor Bauer pitch today, so we don't not to 1409 01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:00,800 Speaker 6: worry about him. 1410 01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:03,000 Speaker 7: I don't. I looked at the probables. I don't think 1411 01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:04,760 Speaker 7: Kershaw is listed as one of them, so. 1412 01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:09,680 Speaker 9: That he pitched yesterday, I think so y'all probably might 1413 01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:12,439 Speaker 9: miss Kershaw too. Oh thank god, so we got a 1414 01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:13,880 Speaker 9: we got a bit of a grace period with that. 1415 01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:20,000 Speaker 9: I'm happy with that, and hopefully we can see some 1416 01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:22,160 Speaker 9: promising things out of the Pirates, even if we don't 1417 01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:24,559 Speaker 9: end up on the winning side here in the near future. 1418 01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:25,960 Speaker 9: Hopefully we do see some promise. 1419 01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:28,960 Speaker 6: Hopefully Phil Phil Evans is coming back soon and he 1420 01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,320 Speaker 6: can take over for er Gonzales, who has just been. 1421 01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:34,839 Speaker 7: A liability on defense and offense. 1422 01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:36,880 Speaker 6: Really, so I think if he comes back, I think 1423 01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:38,519 Speaker 6: we'll look a little a little Sharper. 1424 01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,040 Speaker 7: Even if we don't win, you know, win. 1425 01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:44,920 Speaker 3: For sure for sure. 1426 01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:48,519 Speaker 5: Yeah, Bueller will be tough. He's also on my fantasy team, 1427 01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:53,080 Speaker 5: so I'm looking forward to that for me personally. But yeah, 1428 01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:54,080 Speaker 5: I got I got Bueller. 1429 01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:59,640 Speaker 8: He's on mine too, alright. Hey, he's been solid for me. 1430 01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:04,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he's been pretty good. Wednesday on ESPN, they 1431 01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:07,000 Speaker 5: don't really they don't have a listed starter for the Pirates. 1432 01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:10,080 Speaker 5: I mean for the Dodgers. The Pirates don't have a 1433 01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:14,880 Speaker 5: listed starter for Tuesday. But uh, the Pirates still have 1434 01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:19,120 Speaker 5: Mitch Keller listed for Thursday, and he went on the 1435 01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:21,880 Speaker 5: COVID Aisle, so we'll see what happens there. 1436 01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:23,520 Speaker 3: And then jlio. 1437 01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,240 Speaker 5: Urius. 1438 01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:30,800 Speaker 8: It's tough to say. 1439 01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,040 Speaker 5: I'm terrible with names.
