00:00This team's inconsistencies make me think they need a spark coming down the stretch here in May

00:06into Memorial Day. I want the future to start sooner. I want one of these kids called up.

00:10Are you for that, against it, or in wait-and-see mode?

00:14Marcel's got a little injury again, right? The back, he missed yesterday, got scratched,

00:17so we've got to wait and see. That's been a concern. He's been fantastic in the minors.

00:20He just can't stay healthy.

00:22International League Player of the Week last week.

00:24And he was one of the better players in AA last year before he got hurt and missed the last,

00:28whatever it was, 60 games. So Roman Anthony, I think, is the one, right?

00:31And everyone's talking about, what are you going to do?

00:33To me, it's like, that's why all eyes have been on Seydan, you know?

00:38And I remember the first two or three weeks of the season, a couple weeks, I was like,

00:41well, I don't know, another two or three weeks? Like, how long do you go, right?

00:46And, you know, unfortunately for the Roman Anthony people, the last three weeks,

00:50he's kind of like 280, hitting bombs, stealing bags, and defense is fantastic.

00:54So it's like, I don't know if they just forced a move with that.

00:58They could make it today. I have no idea.

01:00But I do think it's coming. I do, you know, and they always say

01:03these things can work themselves out. There hasn't been an injury to open it up.

01:06But I know this, when he comes up, he's coming up for good.

01:11That has been expressed many times to me and to others.

01:15So let's just say someone goes down and misses three games and they call up somebody.

01:18I don't think it's him because of that reason.

01:21When they call him up, it wants to be for good.
