00:00the series for the marlins continues today against the cincinnati reds they take on uh they they uh
00:04will have sandman on the hill today fresh off his complete game shut out i hope we don't we aren't
00:09faced with guys throwing gems and no run support that sucks yeah well can i tell you one thing
00:17that's just like this is the one thing and i and i and this is almost like me yelling for
00:21no reason
00:22or just being upset for no reason because it's like nothing's gonna change but i'll never get
00:29over this wave of baseball where we do the lefty righty thing for three straight games and decide
00:38to take one of our hottest hitters out of the lineup that that does but that does but it's it's
00:43i'll
00:43never understand it and i'll never like it here's what it is and and here's why i have a problem
00:48with
00:49it all these guys have been hitters their whole life the the guys who can hit and at every
00:59level they've been the star hitter so nobody took them out of the lineup because some team they were
01:07playing decided to go left and you're a lefty right they don't do that because they go this is our
01:14best
01:15player so i don't understand why that's the thing now it just it it is and it's like you do
01:22one of
01:23these things like here's the here's the other reason i don't like it you know like owen casey
01:28he's come out guns blazing to start the season you know they're rolling they get to new york
01:34and then they get to the second game they're like ah we're going lefty lefty lefty sorry on case you're
01:40not playing and i'm sitting here thinking to myself like all right i'm sure peter bendix has
01:46more numbers than i'll ever have right for whatever their reasoning is but baseball is also
01:53a rhythm sport it's also an in the zone type of sport you're gonna go three straight games and
02:00just make this guy a pinch hitter after the start of the season he's had right what sense does that
02:04does he he's earned the right to let's kick the tires and see i don't know if anybody's earned the
02:10right i just don't under i'll never understand the logic of that okay one game three straight games
02:15if baseball's here baseball's really streaky right you have and and if you have a guy on
02:22the heater you go let's even get a lefty right like that what's wrong with that you're not like
02:31oh no god forbid you have a left-handed hitter against a lefty i don't get it the guy's not
02:37going to cover off the ball let's see if he can hit a lefty yeah i don't get it and
02:41the other thing
02:42and then the same thing with liam hicks who like liam hicks was leading the league in rbis to start
02:47the season right you know like he's still among the league leaders and they're like we'll save you
02:55pinch hit you like what what why why what logic does that make i don't know and and and they're
03:02going out there and we're going like inning after inning and nothing's getting put together
03:07and i'm like well i don't know dude this is this is me call me crazy but maybe just maybe
03:14you don't need to have like leo jimenez and slater continue to go out like let them get in there
03:20when
03:21these guys cool off but right i don't understand that i won't get it i'm never gonna get it because
03:28look sure certainly some guys stink against lefties that would be they don't get them but like three
03:33straight dates so you're just taking them out for a series because of a pitching match and and to
03:38put it in perspective in another sport it would be the equivalent to
03:45kalal having a double double in the first quarter 10 points 10 rebounds and then the other team goes
03:51small so you take kalal out that's that's kind of what you know how that looks like i don't who
03:59cares
04:01so he can block a little guy he's tall he can take advantage of somebody in the post meanwhile
04:07they got marcy they're running him out there now marcy i felt a little bad for because he he hit
04:10two really ball uh two balls really hard yesterday but then in the biggest about of the game
04:16whiff i'm just like i i will fight you on this one and here's what i would say
04:25baseball if you're 30 percent of your job
04:30you're damn near a hall of famer right what are you fighting me on when you say the guy hit
04:37two
04:38balls hard and then he whiffed when he we needed him i'm like it's only a 30 success rate yeah
04:46well
04:46his success rate is now he's hitting 105 for the first time i understand that but to say oh he
04:54didn't
04:54get it hit when when it mattered they're trying to get it every time but their success rate is only
04:5830 percent who cares like i don't really stop sitting this peter pan song and dance that you're
05:04giving me you that you're sitting here they're not taking him out of the lineup when does he get a
05:08day
05:08off to clear his head okay i'll hear that argument but to say that a baseball player can't get a
05:15hit
05:15when you need it it's like yeah they feel 70 percent of the time okay great is that not
05:22congratulations is that not real is that a reality some of your biggest hitters are batting 270
05:28that's actually that's pretty good that's pretty good average these days right so how can you pick
05:33and choose when you get a hit i don't know he doesn't get a hit ever no but he doesn't
05:37pick
05:38and choose anything he never gets a hit he hit the bar really hard and then you said but damn
05:41when we
05:41needed him to hit it he hit the ball hard he got out doesn't help me i would i would
05:45feel this way
05:46different if one of them dropped okay they're not dropping yeah that's true he's in a funk and then
05:52augusty ramirez also with him now listen you know what's the ball out of the park yesterday
05:56i'll tell you this ballpark too big we know yankee stadiums like old marlans uh it's like too big
06:01it's too big like everybody everyone is like a warning track shot i'm just like oh it'd be out
06:06of half the parks for sure right for sure meanwhile fun sent me a picture from uh a giants game
06:13he
06:13went to a san francisco giants game that's a great park and it was a one o'clock game i
06:20want to say
06:20yesterday or was it sunday and it was packed oh it's monday packed yesterday packed on a monday
06:30i'm like holy smokes i just don't get it and i'm not i'm never gonna get it i'm never gonna
06:37get
06:37the left i'm just gonna be like sitting here and i'm like okay these two guys are hitting the cover
06:42off the ball to start the season okay you have a matchup you're like but then you know what don't
06:51just hit a certain point where they're like there's diminishing returns on that and so like last night
06:55there's three hits great and we didn't play liam we basically waited till the eighth inning to play
07:00liam hicks and owen casey smart i i would ride that like that's too cute i yes and i would
07:06say this
07:08you're built your team is built a certain way that you don't have like the perennial star
07:19you know that oh this guy got to play under all so you kind of have to ride the height
07:24hand yes and
07:25and and like you're making it sound like your team is so good you can play the lefty righty thing
07:30and i'm like no if a guy's hitting the ball if a guy's getting on base then you got to
07:37ride it
07:37because that's who you are yeah i feel like i'm going to be yelling into the wind because they're
07:42going to do it just what peter bednix is going to do when he puts these lineups together for for
07:46mccullough but it's just i'm like all right but who who he replaced a slater guy was like he's been
07:53here for three seconds i've seen him throw a guy out and that's it right so i don't know whatever
08:00and don't tell me something see if i'm already losing about the marlins i'm not losing it
08:03i'm not losing it you you're kind of losing i'm not losing it you kind of you're on you're on
08:09the
08:09verge i'm not losing it okay you're perfectly reasonable reaction to yesterday's game
08:18all right i mean sitting here jansen junk poor guy's out there he's mowing through everybody
08:23can anybody get him a run no
08:28you're sitting here you're telling me oh jacob marcy
08:32let's go where's all the promise it's time to all right i don't want to send you the
08:39jacksonville jumbo shrimp but i will
08:45i don't want to you send people to sioux falls all the time jacksonville jumbo shrimp and the oats
08:56enough game like that buddy you're going to the oats i'm like dude they've been playing baseball for
09:02two weeks i know you're you're like you're like into the season playoff i'm not yes you are you're
09:10into the season playoff playoffs on the line how i feel feel how i feel okay feel how i feel
09:17what am i
09:18what am i supposed to do just not i feel nothing i listen i agree with you but i would
09:28say
09:30uh kind of temper that a little bit because it's early jennifer says screaming i'm not losing it
09:35usually means you are i'm not losing it stop telling me i'm losing it jennifer i'm not losing it
09:41all right it's a perfectly reasonable reaction to an april 6th marlins reds game where they got three
09:49hits two of them by auto lopez
09:56leo jimenez what is he out there for
10:02you're sitting there with your computers let's go need somebody to have some feel to the game
10:08anyway
10:11you think maybe they're waiting for what because it could possibly get to a point
10:21where he realizes this isn't working and he stops doing it and just put his hitters out there
10:26whether it's lefty or right does that make any sense but because it's early in the year he's playing
10:33the lefty righty thing they're run by ai over there that's what they're doing and i just gotta
10:38have to live with it that's how i listen it's it's situations like this which makes me hate analytics
10:46it happens in football too right like if your team is terrible at short yardage if analytics tells you
10:54to go for it as the coach you gotta know but they never just ride it a little bit i
11:02don't understand it
11:03it's just what oh this is the day we'll have a righty platoon guy go out there that'll do it
11:09better than a righty platoon guy all right cool great great great great call dude anyway i'm not
11:15losing it i got you i'm not britney don't look at me like that i gotta tell you i'm not
11:21losing it
11:21you're losing i'm not losing it no listen
11:26it's hard to continue to lose something that you've already lost so you have lost so you say
11:33i'm losing it would be you're in the you're in and you know you're heading towards that no you lost
11:41so like yeah losing no you're done you you lost you you are way too intense for second week of
11:50the
11:50season third week we get some runs for sandman today oh boy where are you looking i don't know
11:57they're that way right he never knows they're up north the back there no they're they're to the
12:01you know they're to the back are they at home yeah yeah oh okay they're over there
12:05you
