00:00The Marlins, they lost a heartbreaker to the Red Sox for two.
00:04That sucks.
00:05Yep.
00:06Right now, take a little looky-loo with the standings for the Fish.
00:11They are currently four back.
00:15They're behind a couple games back at the Dimebacks for the final spot.
00:19Or Padres actually have the final spot, so they still have to jump the Dimebacks to get to the Padres.
00:24Philly, they lost yesterday.
00:26I think Cal Raleigh had three home runs yesterday.
00:28Oh, the dumper finally took a dump.
00:30About to, you know, maybe he got a little revitalization because he stunk this year.
00:36I mean, he's been bad.
00:38Either way, Marlins, four back, two over.
00:41But, you know, hopefully they can stop the trend today of sweep, sweep, sweep.
00:45They need to bounce back and try and beat Boston, who, of course, is also in the wildcard race.
00:52They have a hold.
00:53Well, basically, the AL East has the top three spots right now, Leroy.
00:58But, unfortunately, for the Yankees and Red Sox, somehow the Rays are still leading the division.
01:03Don't worry, we'll catch them.
01:04Which is crazy, right?
01:05I wanted to ask you, what do you think about your boy?
01:09Once again, another injury for a baseball streak close.
01:12I mean, he's worse than six to eight.
01:14Yeah.
01:15I don't understand, man.
01:16Because he don't even have to have activity when he gets hurt.
01:20Go ahead.
01:20Say the thing, Vlad.
01:22No, he might be out for the season.
01:24I can't say we just need him for the postseason.
01:28He just got hurt.
01:29He's good at the postseason, usually.
01:30I know.
01:31That's all I want him.
01:32I want him bubble back to the postseason.
01:34But, clearly, he fell and hurt himself.
01:37He gets hurt on Rattles.
01:38Too many muscles.
01:39You know what?
01:39Too many muscles.
01:40It's been the big conundrum in this whole career.
01:42It's not even that.
01:42Too much muscles.
01:43A lot of these hitters, they want strength for bad speed.
01:47They work on their core.
01:49But, they don't run.
01:51I don't want him to run.
01:52I just want him to hit.
01:53Can I tell you something that annoyed me yesterday about Kyle Stowers, right?
01:58What about him?
01:59Either come back or don't come back.
02:01What do you mean?
02:01He came back yesterday.
02:02But, he comes back and he's like jogging.
02:06Oh, he can't go full.
02:07And, like Tommy Hutton was saying, like Tommy Hutton was, I mean, he was a little, you know,
02:10after they blew the lead, like a base hit by him.
02:14And, they were saying, like, well, he should have dove for that.
02:19And, they were wondering about the hamstring.
02:21Like, Adam was like, well, see the back of your back.
02:22Because, he looked like he was going to come up.
02:24And, it looked like a ball.
02:25Well, he hit one into the gap.
02:26But, he's like.
02:28I would say.
02:29Like, he's taking his sweet ass time.
02:30When that ball was hit out there.
02:32Sandy was like, oh, he can get that.
02:34And, he just kind of pulled up.
02:36I'm like.
02:39Oh, yeah.
02:39No, I think you're talking about Conine.
02:41Conine's.
02:41Conine.
02:42Yeah, that was rough.
02:43Like, what do you.
02:44He was running crazy eight out there.
02:46I don't know what the hell was going on.
02:47But, it was a tough go.
02:49By the way, there was some news on the Marlins yesterday that came out.
02:52That they.
02:53Fired their entire scouting department.
02:56Fam.
02:58Really?
02:58That dropped during the middle of the game.
03:00Yep.
03:01And, I'm like.
03:02If you fire your whole scouting department.
03:06So, does that mean they were there beforehand.
03:08And, they wanted.
03:12Here's the story from the Athletics.
03:14Ken Rosenthal and Will Salmon.
03:17The Marlins are letting go of the majority of their pro scouting department.
03:19Club sources tell the Athletics.
03:20Sources spoke on the condition of anonymity.
03:22Because, they were not authorized to speak.
03:23Of course.
03:24Those familiar say the Marlins decision did not specify exactly how many scouts were being let go.
03:30But, said the move reflected the front office's desire to move.
03:33To use more video during the scouting process.
03:37Many clubs have cut from various scouting departments in recent years.
03:40Because, more video information is available on players.
03:43For clubs like the Marlins.
03:44The scouting job has evolved.
03:45And, is changing what they value.
03:47According to club sources.
03:49The Marlins will still have some employees in their pro department who scout players in person.
03:53Oh.
03:53So, here's what they've done.
03:55You ready?
03:56Y'all want to know what they did?
03:58It went cheap.
03:59Yeah, they saved money.
04:00They saved money.
04:01We don't want eyes.
04:03We don't want boots on the ground.
04:05We got video.
04:06Yeah.
04:06That's it.
04:07They don't want to pay for the Econolodge anymore.
04:09Right.
04:09That's it.
04:10I feel like they...
04:11Just say it.
04:11The baseball scout who's going to upstate New York.
04:14How much can those hotels cost?
04:15It's nothing.
04:16It's the Econolodge.
04:17I think Jed York paid more for his time at the trailer park.
04:20Amen.
04:21Right.
04:21But I'm just saying.
04:22Just say that.
04:23Just say that.
04:24Don't try to use a fancy way of explaining it.
04:29They didn't need all that conversation.
04:31Shouldn't the Marlins have to be spending the most on scouting seeing as they can't pay players?
04:36Right.
04:36But it might be older scouts.
04:38So, maybe even the scouts that he wants don't have the same vision that he has.
04:42Hold on.
04:43The old aren't very good at seeing?
04:44No.
04:45They just...
04:45Like, just as...
04:47Depending on who you have running the organization, what they are looking for might be different
04:54than...
04:55I don't know.
04:57Well, I mean, he did come from Tampa.
04:59And Tampa seems every year to always be doing very well.
05:02Yeah, but when do we get to be Tampa?
05:04How many years?
05:05Three years.
05:05How many years?
05:05What's three years?
05:06Three years.
05:07Okay.
05:08The first...
05:08Look, the first year was...
05:09It was a decent year.
05:10But we're not beating the Braves.
05:12Last year was good.
05:13Eh.
05:14This year's better.
05:15I mean, you're building.
05:17You're getting there.
05:18Are we?
05:19We gave one of our best players to the Rays.
05:22Shouldn't you have hung up?
05:24Like, you're still...
05:26Like, when you're Peter Bendix and the Rays call, shouldn't you be like, ugh, I don't
05:29know about this one?
05:31Because I think the Rays are sitting there and being like, hey, let's fleece Pete, just
05:36for old time's sake.
05:39Or, you call the people you have the best relationship with.
05:42Yeah, maybe.
05:44But...
05:44I just didn't...
05:46You know...
05:47Think about this.
05:48If I went and worked on the radio in Cleveland, and the Browns were playing the Dolphins, I'd call
05:56you.
05:57Say, come on the show.
05:57Sure.
05:58How's that any different?
05:59I'm not giving you up my first baseman.
06:04Wait a minute.
06:05You weren't...
06:06You didn't complain when he was gone?
06:07No, I said it was...
06:08I get the move.
06:09I said when it happened, I'm like, I get the move, but exactly what happened is what happened,
06:13which is Kyle Stowers got hurt.
06:15I'm like, you're one move away from needing him all of a sudden.
06:18And then all of a sudden...
06:19And he turns back the clock to April.
06:21And then Hicks becomes...
06:24Cal Raleigh again.
06:24Yeah.
06:25Yeah, I know.
06:26No, I just...
06:27I understood why they were making the move, but it didn't seem like a rushed move.
06:31It's like, this move won't be here in the offseason?
06:34Trading Liam Hicks?
06:35Like, what was the hurry to do that?
06:38I didn't really understand it.
06:39Well, maybe somebody else beneath him was hitting pretty good, and they said, well, we can put
06:43him in the everyday lineup.
06:44They weren't.
06:45They weren't.
06:46They weren't.
06:47I'm just...
06:47Listen, I'm reaching.
06:50So, anyway.
06:53Marlins, scouts, see you later, dude.
06:56That's messed up, man.
06:58Like, during the middle of the game, just wipe out all...
07:01I mean, what about...
07:02The Dolphins did the same thing!
07:03But, dude, it's one of...
07:05You know what you're doing?
07:06Because I'm producing the game.
07:07So, you know, I'm producing the game, and all of a sudden, you just get a notification.
07:10It's like, wait a minute.
07:11Marlins did something?
07:12I'm listening to the game.
07:13I'm producing the game.
07:14What did Marlins do?
07:15Oh, yeah.
07:15The whole scouting department just fired.
07:18They probably had trouble finding some of them, because they're, like, in podunk areas
07:22of Florida.
07:23Somebody's watching the Beloy snappers, and they have to find Ralph, and Ralph's sitting
07:28there with his binoculars being like, man, he still don't got it.
07:33It's like, Ralph, we're not doing it like that anymore.
07:36You got to tell us what exit velocity is.
07:38He goes, oh, man, you old...
07:39You young kids.
07:40You don't know a baseball player.
07:42Man, you can't take out the Clint Eastwood for the love of the game type guys out there.
07:45I love that movie.
07:45I love that movie, too.
07:46I love that movie.
07:47No, you can't take those guys out, man.
07:49Remember when he was singing to his wife's grave?
07:51Ah, man.
07:52Remember that?
07:53You are my sunshine.
07:56My only sunshine.
07:58You make me happy when skies are gray.
08:02Built for tough.
08:03You never know, dear, how much I love you.
08:07This kid just doesn't have it.
08:09He can't get a second touch over the plate.
08:11I love you.
08:11Is it crazy that everything that he did was tough?
08:15Everything was tough.
08:16Everything!
08:17Every movie, every...
08:18No, no, no, no, no.
08:19There was one movie he tried to play tough, but the co-star just...
08:24He couldn't just...
08:25The co-star was just too adorable for him to be tough.
08:28What was that?
08:30The movie he made with the animal.
08:34He had an animal as a co-star.
08:37Oh, I know so.
08:38You know what I'm talking about.
08:39Yeah, he was trying to be tough, but he couldn't, because the animal was just too adorable.
08:44Because, I mean, 75-year-old Clint Eastwood doing that movie with the...
08:49What was the movie?
08:50Was it Drug Meal?
08:51No, the one before that.
08:54Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:55What's the...
08:55Where he was charming...
08:56The car movie.
08:57Where he was charmingly racist?
08:59Yeah.
08:59What was the car movie?
09:01The name of the movie was...
09:02Was it Camino?
09:03Camino.
09:04Every Which Way But Loose.
09:05That's the one.
09:06Al Camino.
09:07Yeah.
09:07That was a...
09:08Orangutan.
09:08Orangutan.
09:09Clyde.
09:11Did you watch the one where he was a drug mule?
09:12Thank you, R.V.
09:13Richie.
09:13That's a good one.
09:14Is it?
09:14Yeah.
09:15The drug...
09:15Oh, when he was the old man drug mule?
09:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:17That's a good one.
09:17Gran Torino.
09:19Gran Torino.
09:19No, listen.
09:20We said El Camino.
09:21Oh, minus one.
09:23Jesus.
09:24Minus one.
09:26Whoops.
09:27El Camino.
09:32Wow.
09:33Anyway, don't listen to our advice on baseball.
