00:15Has been in the end. How long has he been in the league six years six years? Yeah, 2019. He got me
00:20Geez, I think that's why you just hate or tots since he was a teenager
00:24Basically, he's gonna hit that super big deal
00:27Five years before everybody's gonna want soda, right? Yeah, these super play like he's gonna get feels like I just saw one
00:34So to get how much?
00:35And is he one soda good though? He was last year's really good
00:40flavor the Blue Jays, you know

00:47What do you think about 400 million goes nah, sorry
00:52Not good enough, dude
00:55400 million who's is he? Does he have Scott Boris? Who's his agent? We have any idea we could Bruce Sherman
01:01Just do something to make me happy for once
01:06Every contract that is written that big down here is gonna do like this
01:111 million 5 million 20 million
01:1680 80 80 80 80 is that really is his agent's name really that name being string for has to be fake
01:24There's no way hold on there is no way that Vladimir Guerrero jr.'s agent is named bean
01:32string fellow
01:34Hey, listen Vlad dude, Vlad Guerrero. Yeah, please guard your finances from this way. That is a fake
01:44String fellow this guy is gonna swindle him
01:48I don't know
01:50string fellow mean string fellow
01:52sports management
01:54Consultant. Yeah. Okay. Good. Yeah Guerrero was asking him what his name was as he was in the kitchen. He's like
02:01Bean. Oh, you know you said guys are so say
02:06I don't mean to insult but I'm looking at this guy's LinkedIn right now
02:10And I don't know if I trust this guy to handle a 700 million dollar deal
02:18Hmm, how about that? No way, dude
02:23He looks like no string
02:26More bean I gotta say more bean than anything. That's crazy. Huh mean you sure it's not Dean
02:33said beans
02:34said bean even if it was Dean string
02:37Fellow, but bean it's got to be a nickname or something, right?
02:41No, cuz they would put it in a print they will put it in parentheses and put his real name
02:49Well, anyway
02:51speaking of our team down here yesterday, they open spring training full first squad workout with everybody there and
02:59We got to hear from Bruce Sherman
03:02who's a keto Lauria and
03:05This is what he had to say on the Marlins and how many games they're gonna win this season
03:09I think we're gonna win a lot of games a lot more games and you think we're gonna win this year. Okay, I'm excited about it
03:16there's gonna be more hustle more speed more defense that we've seen over the last few years and
03:21I want the fans to get to know the players. I want them to give them the opportunity. There's gonna be all-stars
03:26I think we have the best opening game
03:28Matchup pitching staff poor schemes against Sandy in all the baseball. I'm excited about the season
03:34I'm excited about what these guys can show. I don't think it's one player
03:37This is a team game. There are 70 people in there
03:4140 on them on the 40-man roster, obviously in 26 are gonna be in the dugout
03:46I'm not Peter and the entire staff are developing these players at a level. I haven't seen in my seven years here
03:53Anytime that you anytime when you say that we're gonna have a lot of speed and defense
03:57You just you basically as I said, we got no boppers, right?
04:00And we got no boppers, especially when you should also edit we might not score any runs
04:06But all the games will be close
04:08Now now you guys what you want to get out there for opening day because we're not gonna see if you don't see Sandy
04:17This was Peter Bendix who was up there with him
04:20They're doing the press conference together and this was him talking about the vibes right now
04:26Yeah, thank you Bruce. I'll echo all that the the vibes the energy the
04:31Feeling of optimism here is really it's really palpable. We've got a fantastic coaching staff in place
04:37We've really invested in technology invested in different roles invested in the things that we need to build the foundation of this organization
04:45This foundation is imperative for us to have the kind of success
04:48Year over year that we know we can get to that
04:51We know every fan wants the foundation is a really key part and here today in this spring training
04:57We're already starting to see the dividends of that. I can't wait for that to show up on the field
05:02I can't wait for that to show up for the fans
05:04It will show up in the form of our players getting better
05:07It will show up in the form of us having better players and ultimately it's gonna show up in the form of winning games
05:11And that's what this is all about. It's winning games
05:14It's winning as many games as we possibly can for as long as we possibly can which is gonna be
05:19Yeah for right now for winning as many games as they can which is gonna be more than you think
05:24Bruce said more than you think they're gonna win Leroy. They're over under is set at 63 and a half
05:29So which would have them so everybody thinks you're gonna lose damn near 100 games. That's right. They did lose 100 games last year
05:34They think it's gonna be more than you think
05:39Which is such a low bar the gamblers think it's gonna be 63 games they think it's 60. Yeah, so you so 70
05:49He's like hey if we're 70 and 92 told you
05:54But here's my question
05:58I'm gonna just throw this out there as kindly as I can
06:03Great does great comment from croquette that King who says he sounds like what being string fellow
06:12Right
06:14It's not that Peter Bendix who we met he's a very nice guy from when the interactions we've had very enthusiast very
06:20I have no doubt this man came out of the womb knowing baseball analytics better than I ever will he knows
06:28whip
06:30frame rate
06:31war
06:32I'm sure that dudes got it locked out
06:34He was probably winning his fantasy baseball team before he was potty trained like I guarantee this guy knows baseball
06:50I want to whip and warp him into a locker
06:55It's like I'm sure he means well, but it's like when you have Sherman out there doing his best Lauria impression
07:02Give me somebody it's like skip Schumacher when he was here. At least it was like forearms, you know, they got his baseball
07:08Bendix sounds like the black comedian doing a white guy boys
07:12So
07:19When you say people appreciate the effort and work hard, no, they don't
07:26people appreciate the bombs
07:30Runs, you know why people went to see the Marlins even though they were terrible because they had Stan
07:37Were you right in the year where they had Mike Jacobs and Jorge can too, right?
07:42I was like, oh those guys hit bombs, right? I mean this guy's talking to me about hustle
07:48Great hustle hustle. I mean, here's what happens with hustling baseball
07:55you pull a hammy out for three weeks because you didn't stretch properly or you've been sitting on your ass for a
08:02Five run in can I give a shout out though?
08:04I gotta give a shout out to Juan Pierre because he's still out there at spring training helping like
08:08Yeah, he just comes in there for two weeks. He can't teach nobody how to be fast. That's true
08:13But you know what? He's gonna teach you how to bump
08:16When when Juan Pierre was out there checking out how the ball would roll. Nobody does that anyway, so
08:22Louise said it probably best Cubans love baseball don't matter. It's in our blood
08:27But everybody likes good baseball. Mm-hmm, right like I
08:32Listen I know what it's like. I had season tickets to Indians. They were terrible, but then they got good. Mm-hmm, and I would go watch
08:408090 wins, but I like going sitting like noon game or one o'clock game
08:46Just going sit with some popcorn watching watch a game. Well, here's the the other thing
08:51We're all waiting for which is what are they gonna do with Sandman who they they really are
08:55Advertising that opening day game because it may be the last time you see him. Oh, did they say no, can I answer that? Sure?
09:01our intentions are that he is going to be the
09:06The building block to which we turn this around
09:10Here was Peter Bendix on Sandy's future
09:15There is a narrative though that said he might be part of the process of building and
09:20What do you say to that?
09:24Yeah, it's something that we can't really comment on what might happen in the future Sandy is here right now
09:30Sandy looks as good as I think he's ever looked in his career
09:33He was sitting 98 miles an hour in a side session out on the field looking like he was just playing catch. That's uncommon
09:39That's unusual, but really the even more unusual thing is the degree to which Sandy is that leader?
09:45He is the leader that everyone else looks to and he is helping set the tone. So I'm thrilled that he's here
09:51I'm thrilled him against Paul skins and opening day is gonna be a really fun matchup. What are you guys?
09:55Are for the pirates
09:58Stop saying right. I'm damn begging you stop saying Paul
10:05The only professional franchise
10:09That celebrates the teams coming into Marlins Park then the actual more my god
10:16Hey, we got Yankees exhibition Boston bosses come in town. Yeah, you gotta see him and schemes
10:25Just can't do it. Give me the Sherman ain't or Bruce or I asked him this
10:30back when they interviewed when they introduced Clayton McCullough and he sidestepped that and he also mentioned Paul schemes and I was like
10:37But here he was again talking about a Sandy
10:50Sandy's on a contract. I was the one who extended him
10:54He's one of the better deals we did we both could talk about some of the deals that weren't the right kind of deals
10:59And I'm gonna rely on the front office for all those decisions, but Sandy's our franchise right now we get it
11:06Wait, hold on passing the buck. He already passed the buck. We get it. Do you know we get?
11:14Awesome guys way to get me fired
