00:00us on it's a very yin and yang day for me obviously marlins three and oh first time since
00:052009 and did it in exciting fashion yesterday but they optioned davis and de los santos today
00:13and that really puts a damper on everything that we were working towards for this season in my
00:19humble opinion we i guess we'll have to trust clayton mccullough he is three you know right now
00:25but we'll have to see how this decision pans out in the future hello steven hi are we really
00:31starting with this man really three and oh for the first time since 2009 i was here in 24 when
00:38they
00:38were oh and nine and we're going to start with davis and de los santos respectfully i mean it's
00:42all i can think about to be quite honest since i heard the news i've had a time putting together
00:46the show today it's really so reminiscent of the mervis situation but whatever i'll move on i will
00:52find a way to forge ahead so really is a great start to the season they're three you know maple
00:58masher he walked it off yesterday the clubhouse i'm imagining the vibe around the team right now
01:04just has to be spectacular can i first correct you we are no longer calling him the maple masher
01:11what nope we're calling him big red oh really he is gigantic we're calling him we are gigantic
01:19he's got he's got uh the tuft of red hair did i hear you and jack on the broadcast yesterday
01:26i was
01:27listening in the car did you say that he's got a belt buckle that says el animal uh that is
01:34not
01:34oh and casey that was uh your guy oh i mean that was davis and de los santos i mean
01:40honestly you
01:40could easy to confuse probably wear that today yeah easy to confuse the two also amazing man i mean it's
01:47it's uh you know i think the big question coming into this year was can the blueprint of last year
01:53of the fight and fish coming back never stay die mentality can that be converted into the next year and
01:59i think a lot of people think no like every season has its own identity you kind of as the
02:04season goes
02:05on you figure out who you are and one of the big questions especially with a younger team is like
02:10who are we how are we going to win what is it going to look like and the marlins found
02:14that
02:15the first day of opening day last year when kyle stowers walked it off and then they carried that
02:20you know throughout the entire year to 79 wins and the big question this year is can they do the
02:25same
02:25thing and uh i can probably answer right now that yes it's a it's a it's a great clubhouse they
02:31all
02:31the cool thing about this guys is like this is a different team there's guys aren't going to play
02:37every single day in the starting lineup but guys are going to play every day in some capacity i mean
02:42look at someone like owen casey he'll come off the bench and and off the left he's starting he's
02:47probably going to come off the bench but he's going to play every day that's the beauty of this team
02:51especially from a positional standpoint is like no one's like having an off day like if you don't
02:55start doesn't mean you're not going to play and i think that really helps the camaraderie and everyone
02:59kind of pulling for one another it's big red likes the redwood tree or the gum
03:07the gum you know if you grew up in chicago like i did it could be the soda you ever
03:12had big red soda
03:13crowder i have very cheap they don't fill the cans up it was a two liter bottle of big red
03:20in the
03:20hockman fridge i'm telling you that right sandra if she was going to buy soda it was going to be
03:25the cheap stuff she was going to make sure we didn't like it did you guys was it was it
03:29a
03:30conscious decision not to call him the maple masher did he step to you or something no we all got
03:35together as a broadcast crew with these quarter zips and we said hey we got to figure out some synergy
03:40here it's either maple masher or big red and we've decided to go with the big red yeah but
03:46every time somebody talked about oh i was just gonna say how did you guys really come to that
03:51conclusion because i heard jack call him the maple masher and i just wonder like who takes point there
03:58who takes point on hey this is what we're going with because you're the pre-game host you're also
04:03the executive producer i just wonder like you see love called him the maple masher on the tv call
04:08he did but but jack kyle's maybe got the vet card kyle's got the vet card maybe i mean again
04:15i think
04:16we all it wasn't some like uh malicious discussion like i believe that it needs to be the maple mat
04:21no i mean what are we going to go with all right let's go big red here we go i'll
04:25get a vote on this
04:25because i like maple masher do you why do you like it bigger than big red i feel like there's
04:32been a
04:32million big reds and masher like home run bashing the ball mashing the ball i kind of like maple
04:40masher better too bro but he's big he's huge masher doesn't necessarily mean that you're a big guy like
04:46you got to capture oh in case a big dude six four looks like you play linebacker he looks like
04:50a
04:50walking maple tree to me like maple masher works for me i mean the cincinnati reds were the big red
04:57machine and what are we doing here strom it doesn't matter the guy's five for ten with the
05:02home run and four rbis and walking off whatever you want anything to be quite honest yeah who cares
05:08what we call him just keep hitting and keep winning and who cares you know what i'm saying no one
05:12cares
05:12when you win everything's great and and strong we heard we heard about um yuri and uh sandy's
05:19relationship how they're like big brother you know yeah father son uncle uncle nephew something like
05:24that is this is this pitching lineup and this bullpen that good because everyone talks about it
05:29is it good for us that we haven't seen something like this or is it good league wide no it's
05:35good
05:35league wide and i think you're going to get the answer to the back end of the rotation obviously
05:39we get chris paddock today for the first time drafted with the marlins and traded before he was
05:43able to debut for fernando rodney so it's a full circle moment for chris paddock today he will start
05:49and then tomorrow you'll get a chance to see jansen junk which has i mean is that not the best
05:53pitcher name and all of baseball junk had an awesome year last year but again i think the
05:57big question with with outside of sandy who you know you're going to get 30 starts how many starts
06:03we're going to get from yuri because if we can get 25 starts from yuri what does the era look
06:06like but
06:07he's got to go out and do it max meyer yesterday didn't have his best stuff but hey went five
06:11innings
06:12put his team in a position to win the big key with these guys and paddock is i'll give paddock
06:17the past
06:17too because he's been a guy that has posted every fifth day but the three guys in the rotation
06:21yuri perez max meyer and jansen junk they haven't done it multiple times uh max meyer hasn't done it
06:28in general so i'm very excited about the the staff in general but look they've got to be able to
06:34show
06:34that they can post and and start 20 25 games and you know throw 160 170 innings and i think
06:41league
06:41wide yeah i i do i think that people look at the marlins rotation and say man we got to
06:47go sandy
06:48yuri meyer and then you know jansen junk who had a really nice year last year and oh by the
06:52way we
06:53know who's in the farm system with robbie snelling and i know thomas white's on the shelf right now but
06:57uh it's it's a good time to be a player in the marlin marlins organization let alone be a pitcher
07:03one of the uh texters on the youtube stream says how about big red the maple masher uh too wordy
07:11or could
07:12we refer to him as big red the maple masher am i going to have to call a closed door
07:16meeting tomorrow
07:17with all broadcast i kind of would like to be involved hey we got i'd rather have an open door
07:21meeting and i would like to i would like you know how they do it for like the nfl uh
07:25hall of fame
07:26where you have someone who is the guy who argues for the the merits of you being in the hall
07:33of fame
07:33i would like to argue on behalf of the maple masher and and you can do you can argue on
07:39on behalf of big
07:40red all right how about at the end of this you give me your availability and maybe we can add
07:45you to
07:46the there's literally no time that i would not be available for something this important i don't
07:51care if it's during the show i don't care if it's dinner with my wife you you name just if
07:57casey
07:57hits a home run if he hits two tonight how about you lead the meeting tomorrow fair enough you just
08:02text me just text me now okay just text me a zoom link and i am okay fair enough uh
08:08how'd you love
08:08those unis yesterday the throwbacks the teal that looks so good i know like obviously i work for the team
08:15but like is it not i know everyone here is marlins guy but like is it not the best color
08:20scheme like
08:20it's top five and i think in sports especially with the pinstripes i mean i love the vest too
08:26you know if they went with the vest too i wouldn't mind that but so a lot you've been down
08:30here i mean
08:30is it and i'm a big jersey guy i love like the uniforms this is one of the best color
08:36schemes in
08:37all of baseball and it gives you this reminiscent of like such a good time of marlins baseball well i
08:42you
08:42know i don't want to put you in a weird spot but i do the same thing with the dolphins
08:46i there's
08:47nothing in sports you can find a unanimous decision on when it comes to a fan base nothing and with
08:53miami with these two teams like you found it the dolphins everybody wants the throwbacks everybody
08:59and steven ross i i don't know what he's doing and i think with the marlins it's the same thing
09:03like
09:03i think the logo that the marlins have the primary one is really cool and they've done a great job
09:08with
09:08all the uniforms and like the city connect stuff like all that stuff's great everybody yesterday
09:13was saying this is what we want again so just get the old logo with the old colorways the old
09:18uniforms and put an m with the fish behind it with the marlin and let's go like that's what we
09:25want
09:25that's it it's so easy it's sitting right there for everybody especially when you win so much cooler
09:31when you win that is true actually you were there saturday though solana those saturday unis are
09:37really cool no they're cool they're awesome yeah i love i love like what strom is wearing right now
09:42it's it's just the the actual marlins logo it's a cool logo it's not like the dolphin stuff right now
09:48which is just horrendous it's it's a disgrace to the miami dolphins brand the marlins did a really
09:53good job with their logo and all their other uniforms are cool the white miami like it's it's cool
09:59but nothing compares to the teal and he's right the pinstripes from back in the day like
10:03thinking of miguel cabrera rocking the pinstripes hitting dingers at pro player is just iconic man
10:10for any marlin how about that number yesterday solana owen casey first marlin to hit a walk-off
10:16run in his first three career games since miguel cabrera it's biggie crazy have they started ever
10:234-0 2009 the best start they were 4-0 as well was 2009 that's the best starting franchise so
10:31they
10:31can match it tonight and then tomorrow after they win tonight they can go for the uh they can go
10:36for
10:37the record didn't they go like 12-1 that season to start that season 97 yeah i think our great
10:44communications individual actually texted this to me i think it was 10 let's see it was eight and one
10:53yeah eight and one hey i came on to talk marlin all they're doing is firing off ideas at me
11:00that
11:00we don't agree with well what about the home run why are you optioning davis and de los santos
11:04why do you have the wrong uniforms on why are you calling maple masher big red anything else you want
11:11to complain to steven's trauma about crowder i am about to complain if they do go for no or five
11:19and
11:19or six and oh or seven and oh it's 162 games when does it really matter like i get that
11:27i totally
11:27get that but like baseball i get it's 162 games but again i remind you in 2024 when this team
11:34was
11:34oh and nine like it's over like look at what the giants have gotten it they're oh and three and
11:39it
11:39feels like everything is falling apart they got the new manager having a good start in baseball is
11:44imperative now don't ask the new york mets that because they had to you know we know what happened
11:48with the mets but you have to get off to a good start you have to build the identity you
11:51have to
11:51get the fan base into it it's so imperative when i was looking at the schedule in january and i
11:56was
11:56thinking man all right how do we got how do we have to get off to a good start here
11:59we got the
12:00rockies for three but they'll be probably a little bit better also revenge series remember they came
12:04here at last june with nine wins they swept the marlins so revenge series got them right back
12:08and then you get the white socks coming into town and it's like man like can we go to new
12:12york
12:13five and one and i don't know but they get off to this good start everyone feels good everyone
12:18you know is in a good mood and and you never know but if it's the other way around dude
12:23like
12:23it's tough it's tough even the braves last year they never returned they never recovered after
12:29start knowing seven doesn't matter who you are uh getting off to a good start is so imperative to i
12:34think a really good season well it could happen tonight they couldn't they could get the four
12:40and oh tonight he's absolutely right though because when when you're digging out you feel
12:44like you're digging out of a hole for an entire season marlins were 16 under last year and they
12:49got all the way back yep but if you start out with a huge cushion that allows you to have
12:54some stumbles along the way so i'll tell you what first three games have been fun steven like
12:59really fun yesterday was i mean it was exciting like that was as exciting as it gets like it was
13:06so cool and i think everyone when uh i forget who was got doubled off first and it was such
13:11a hard
13:11yeah line drive xavier edwards at first liam hicks laces what you think is going to play the x and
13:17get
13:17the double plane you're like ah you know what all right you know what we won the first two and
13:21then
13:21something that's why baseball it's i don't know i know i only got a minute here so just that's why
13:26i
13:26just love baseball man you never know steven strom tonight along with jack mcmullin marlins radio
