00:00Maz, the whole package with Marcelo Meyer is really, really concerning.
00:06Yeah, so Mike, the biggest problem is the stuff inside, not the stuff, you know.
00:12In other words, the ability's there. I agree with you. He's smooth.
00:17Defensively, he's very smooth. In the batter's box, he's got a nice swing.
00:21You know, if you were to look up his bat speed numbers, and I'm just going by baseball savant now,
00:26just to give you the metric, like I can look at him and say he doesn't have any problem getting
00:30to the ball.
00:31His bat speed is good. He's in the top, like, you know, 25, 30 percent of players in Major League
00:37Baseball
00:37as it relates to bat speed, so he has above-average bat speed, and he can't hit because he can't
00:45hit a breaking ball,
00:46and the error he made yesterday, man on first, two outs, he fielded the grounder.
00:52All he had to do was flip it to the second baseman. He had it in his bare hand and
00:58just dropped it.
00:59I mean, it was, you know, it was a careless, sloppy mistake, and I would say everything about him,
01:08if you look at him, you say, this guy's a ball player. Then the game starts, and he just doesn't
01:14look like
01:14his head is ever in the game, so he's either dumb, can't pick it up, doesn't want to pick it
01:20up,
01:20or doesn't take the game seriously enough to apply himself, or some combination of all those things.
01:26So, you know, I'm really down on him now. It's been a year since he's been in the big leagues,
01:31and we have yet to see even a stretch of like a month where he has torn it up.
01:39There was one little stretch earlier in the season for about two weeks where he played pretty well,
01:44and he was hitting, but that's it. The rest of the time, Zippo, he's done nothing the rest of the
01:51time.
01:56Zippo, he's done nothing the rest of the time.
