Transcript

00:00Marlins made a crap ton of trade yesterday.

00:03Woo.

00:04Busy.

00:05Busy day for Marcos.

00:06So Marcos is playing first base?

00:08Yes.

00:09I will be starting this weekend, guys.

00:11Do you think Jake Berger is afterwards?

00:13He goes, not me?

00:14I was wondering.

00:15I saw the name.

00:16Really holding on to that name?

00:19He goes, nah, Jake.

00:21You're affordable.

00:22Oh.

00:23You're under that control, Jake Berger.

00:29Although Jake Berger does look like he's been in the league for like 17 years, right?

00:32He does.

00:33He's the oldest looking 26-year-old you've seen.

00:36Face of the franchise.

00:38For now.

00:39For now.

00:40Because the face of the franchise is in New York right now and he looks like the greatest

00:43baseball player we've ever seen.

00:45Jazz Chisholm is hitting the cover off the ball.

00:49It's like happy life, happy wife, right?

00:52Yeah.

00:53Happy winning team.

00:55I'm happy.

00:56He's out there.

00:57He's out there.

00:58He's hitting.

00:59He's doing for funsies.

01:00He's like taking Aaron Judge's bat and hitting home runs.

01:05He's just messing around and he's got four home runs in two days.

01:09So yesterday he had a huge go-ahead home run for the Yankees.

01:14Put them up 5-4.

01:15They win in extras.

01:17He's having the time of his life.

01:19Can I just say this?

01:21Swung on.

01:22Hit deep to right.

01:23Back goes Castellanos at the wall.

01:26Oh, baby, another one.

01:29Adios amigo.

01:32Smooth Jazz does it again.

01:36His fourth home run of the series.

01:39Jazz Chisholm Jr. is a Bronx bomber from the Bahamas.

01:44Strong pitch.

01:45Swung on.

01:46Hit deep to right.

01:48Back goes Castellanos at the wall.

01:51Oh, baby, another one.

01:53Adios amigo.

01:56Well, don't they have that short porch and right for you.

02:01They're in Philly, though.

02:02But yes, Philly is a little league park for sure.

02:04You can hit some bombs, but I mean, you know him.

02:06You don't hit some cheapies.

02:07You have jazz.

02:08Oh, no.

02:09He get his money's worth.

02:10But it's amazing that every player that gets traded from the Marlins

02:22mysteriously becomes really good when they leave.

02:25Why is this kind of stunk up the joint?

02:29Yeah.

02:30All right.

02:31Okay.

02:32But I was asked because obviously I have a lot of Yankees fans in my

02:35life and they're all asking me and I just had this feeling.

02:38I'm like, I feel like he's going to be awesome for you guys because

02:41he is a show pony.

02:42Like he.

02:43He.

02:44I feel like New York when the lights are brighter.

02:47I feel like jazz doesn't plays better.

02:49I feel like he's going to be.

02:51He's going to be the toast of that town and good for him.

02:56You know, he's kicking ass.

02:57Now.

02:58Yesterday, the Marlins went out and they made a lot of trades.

03:01Trevor Rogers.

03:04He's gone.

03:05Went to the Orioles.

03:06This seems to be the trade.

03:07Everybody's most fired up about.

03:09They get Connor Norby and Kyle Stowers.

03:13But Trevor Rogers, you know, he's not regained the form that he was

03:17when he was an all star.

03:18So that seems to be the trade.

03:20Everybody's most pumped about the trade.

03:21Tanner Scott for a boatload of pitchers.

03:23A lot of top prospects from the Padres.

03:26Josh Bell went to the Diamondbacks.

03:29Brazoban went to the Mets for Wilfredo Lara.

03:33Old goose liver.

03:34JT Chargois.

03:35He went to the Seattle Mariners for Will Schoenberg.

03:41And then it sounds like we're the farm system for the for Major

03:44League Baseball.

03:45And then Brian de la Cruz went to Pittsburgh for right-handed

03:48pitcher.

03:49John shook.

03:50Shim.

03:52And Garrett Forrester.

03:54Wow.

03:55There you go.

03:56Those two names don't go together.

03:57Nope.

03:59Forrester seems like a simple name.

04:02Peter Bendix did not have a press conference.

04:04He just put out a statement.

04:05Oh, great.

04:06Oh, yeah.

04:10If you talk, then you got to answer questions.

04:12He's, uh, he said after a busy trade deadline with many tough

04:15decisions, we're excited about the layers of talent joining our

04:18organization.

04:20Our goal is to be consistently, uh, be a consistently competitive

04:23team with talented and promising players.

04:26We've acquired.

04:27We're confident that we're moving in the right direction and

04:30building a deeper, stronger organization.

04:33We thank our fans for their continued support and share their goal

04:37of being a contending team that they can be proud of.

04:40Um, he hasn't been here.

04:41He hasn't been here that long.

04:43No, this guy's a weasel.

04:44I can't wait.

04:45No, no.

04:46Oh, I'll say that.

04:47You don't know that he's a weasel.

04:48Here's what I will say.

04:51Yeah.

04:53You can tell he hasn't been here that long with that last statement.

04:57Yeah.

04:58Yeah.

04:59Asking thank you for your patience.

05:01We share your patience and I remind you to enjoy SpongeBob night,

05:04which is last time.

05:06Last time we went to a game.

05:07I yelled that time.

05:08From home plate.

05:09And he was in left field.

05:11Throwback night coming up as well.

05:13Get me a beer.

05:15All right.

05:17Strike two.

05:19So there you go.

05:23Marlins.

05:24I mean, he was busy.

05:26He definitely didn't sit on his hands.

05:28He, uh, he got, he got after it yesterday on the trade deadline day.

05:32And, uh, you know, we'll see if it works out.

05:35I'm not, you know, I don't know.

05:36We'll see if it works out.

05:37I'm not, you know, it seems like some you should be fired up about.

05:41Seems like others.

05:42Ho hum.

05:43We'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll wait and see.

05:45Been told the models have gotten halls before and they've gotten.

05:47So, yeah.

05:49We'll see if Bendix is better at this.

05:51We'll see if that's the case.

05:53If he's better at this than the old Jeets and Denbo.

05:55So far, I'm going to say no.

05:57Well, it's been a tough start.

05:59Hey, but it's watching jazz doesn't become an MVP has been tough.

06:02I mean, you watch Kristen Yellich do it.

06:04Yeah.

06:05That wasn't him though.

06:07That wasn't him.

06:08I can't blame him for, for other crime, for the crimes of others.

06:11So, you know, I mean, you'd look at the Stanton and Yellich trades a little

06:16bit differently than you look at these.

06:18Um, the standard trade, I looked differently because he made $300

06:22million, knew you weren't going to make anything for him.

06:24Blowing the Yellich trade is an all time blow.

06:27Like that's a, you, you, you screwed the pooch, uh, Marcelo Zuna.

06:32You got Sandy.

06:33I can't really be too mad at that one.

06:35You got a, you got a, a Cy Young pitcher, right?

06:38But that's two front offices ago.

06:40Like that's Mike Hill.

06:42I got you.

06:44I mean, which is, I think part of the thing is like, nobody knows

06:48who to be mad at.

06:50And they look at this guy with his glasses and they're just like, beat

06:52it nerd, which is one of the things that I always say about

06:56organizations, right?

06:58When you have a lot of change within your organization and you

07:03have a lot of change, it usually means that you have a lot of change

07:07in the team, the coaches or whatever.

07:09Yeah.

07:10I mean, we talk about it all the time.

07:12If you get rid of a GM and football, the first guy that usually goes

07:15as the coach and then the quarterback, because they're all tied together.

07:18And then you got to go through that process again.

07:20So at what point is the organization, I'm not saying the fans, I'm

07:27not saying at what point is the organization going to see this

07:31through?

07:33Because there has been no regime to date that has actually let it

07:42play out, right?

07:44They get antsy and then we got to make changes.

07:46We got to start over again.

07:48And the process starts over again.

07:50Meanwhile, you're asking the fans to be patient.

07:52Yeah.

07:54I mean, like, look, the fans have been patient, but I think the thing

07:56that you look at from last year is they look like they had some

07:59talent.

08:01I mean, you made it to the deadline.

08:03You made the postseason.

08:05I will give, I wouldn't say pass, but I can give an explanation to,

08:09hey, your entire rotation got nuked basically at the start of the

08:13season.

08:15Yeah.

08:17So, but that, you know, I think, I think it was, it was heading

08:19towards disaster ville right away.

08:21But I just don't know.

08:23I just, I think the thing, what it is now is like, I just don't even

08:26know.

08:28Cause jazz is obviously hurts and it sucks seeing him go to this.

08:29And he's the most high profile guy that's gone.

08:31And immediately he's going out there and you see, he becomes like

08:35one of the faces of baseball.

08:37That is what's going to hurt the Marlins fan more than anything.

08:39Like you, you can sit here and you can tell me.

08:42Yeah.

08:44You can sit here and you can tell me that you got a hall for Trevor

08:46Rogers and that they fleeced the Orioles and a great.

08:49I hope that is the case.

08:51I hope these guys turn out to be awesome.

08:53I hope the guys that they got for jazz turn out to be awesome, but

08:55it is, it's a big ask.

08:56You keep going back to the well of asking like, Hey, be patient.

08:58Right.

09:00Keep doing it.

09:02That's more of my eventually.

09:04Yeah.

09:05Eventually you're going to just, you run out of feel.

09:07I think right now.

09:09And I think right now the Marlins are just there.

09:11I think, I think they're just not even at anger.

09:13I think of the apathy is just at such a point right now where people

09:15are just like, all right, whatever.

09:17Same old stuff.

09:19I would say for me, when I see a gym or an ownership, it's

09:24a, be patient, right?

09:26Like as much as we don't want to be patient with the dolphins, we

09:31can kind of see that, you know, they've tried to get some consistency

09:35in their building.

09:37And, and so like you, you may not want to be patient, but at least

09:43you can see stuff, right.

09:45You can see signs that, that there's hope with the Marlins, the

09:50Marlins front office has been the most impatient organization in

09:54baseball for the last, what?

09:5615 years.

09:58And they say, you got to wire it out.

10:00You got to be patient.

10:02I'm like, well, you're not fair.

10:04So at what point?

10:06And that's what I mean about when you look at the bad organizations

10:08in sports, right?

10:10Detroit, Detroit hired a coach and fired him after a year.

10:14Give him a six or seven year.

10:15Million dollar deal.

10:17How can you go to your fans and say, be patient?

10:19You got to, you know, we're young and we're working through it when

10:22you don't even have the patience in your own organization.

10:24You mean the Pistons, the Pistons?

10:26I'm sorry.

10:28Right.

10:29Like there's organizations that have done that.

10:31When you look up at Washington, they've had more coaches than, than

10:35whatever.

10:36Right.

10:37No, like I get it.

10:39It, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it,

10:43it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it,

10:45it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it.

10:47You can't expect, you don't want us to think is going to turn a change

10:50overnight, but neither can you.

10:53And so that's one of the things I kind of appreciate about what, uh,

10:59Steven Ross does.

11:01He's like too patient to, you know what I mean?

11:03At times he's kept guys a little bit too long.

11:05So I, I appreciate that.

11:08that, but the Marlins, you can't, you can't, you can't put the last week in a vacuum. I

11:15think they probably did the right thing. Like they were the worst team in the national league.

11:19They will be probably better next year just based on getting their arms back. Should they

11:24keep Sandy getting Uri Perez back and getting Max Meyer back healthy and getting all these

11:29guys in the fold. Like, I think that it's going to be inevitable. They'll be better

11:33next year.

11:34But, but, but we still don't, we don't, they're going to see it through because just like

11:39you said, you're right. They have a month. Sandy's gone. You're right. I don't. And I,

11:44and so I can't sit here. I think you're just going to have to show it if you're the Marlins

11:48at this point. Cause I think put your Twitter thumbs down. Yeah. And just, and just take,

11:55take the heat and, and just collectively in, in the offices say, look, we just gotta, you

12:02know, we gotta be patient ourselves and we gotta push through this.

12:06It's just all very unbecoming, you know? Like it's, it's one of these things where like

12:09I get that Bruce Sherman has come in here with a weird situation. Cause he, he basically

12:15got sidled up with Jeets. That whole Jeets thing fell apart. So Jesus, people gotta go.

12:21He wants his own people, but he doesn't have that much money. He's got a bunch of investors.

12:26How do you do that? Well, I got to be the raise. So I go with the raise guy and it's

12:29just like, right. All right. But then you got rid of a, what we thought was a pretty

12:35good GM and Kim Ang, right? Got a good, and immediately got, you know, you know, make

12:42the playoffs Kim Ang and the Marlins agreed to part ways mutually and air quotes, uh,

12:50skip Schumacher.

12:51We find out a month into the season. Everybody says this guy's a great manager. We all saw

12:55it last year. Accountability comes in with Cardinal's credibility. Been a champion. Yeah.

13:02But right out of the same page, he's going to be gone. So like, and that same breath,

13:07you're going to look at us and say, be patient when you have people in your organization.

13:14Yeah. Right. It's, it's one of these things where like, Hey, if you're sticking out and

13:21you're diehard and you're like, I was when I was 12 years old watching, Hey, Sue Sanchez,

13:26the pitcher, not the outfielder, go out there and pitch all the time for the Marlins. And

13:30you watch them get their teeth drubbed in. And eventually you saw Mike Lowell, Derek

13:34Lee, and Alex Gonzalez come together, or you were an Oh six, you were a kid and you saw

13:38Dan Ugla and Haley Ramirez, and they all thought they were going to suck Mike Jacobs.

13:42I hope that this guy gets the next crop of those guys. I hope, but I don't know what

13:47to tell you. I mean, like I'm going to, I, I respectfully, I'm going to just sit on the

13:51sidelines and I will sit here and I will, you know, hope I'll hope, but I don't have

13:58a lot of hope because since this dude has taken over from Lauria, I don't know, really.

14:05It does feel like he's ping pong and all over the place. There's not a lot of direction.

14:09I would say with all of the things that have happened in the past couple of months, and

14:16we have been probably given more excuses as to why things are going the way they are right

14:24for the organization to not almost, they don't feel the same way we do about this team and

14:34to basically start over again. Yeah. It's a hard thing to swallow when you've been watching

14:41it for a long period of time. And I, this is one of the reasons why you 100% appreciate

14:47what the heat do, even though you wish they would do more. Right. So.
