So they are a different style team, and that's one reason why they're significantly better than most people thought they would be.
It's not.
They have three guys with 20 homers, so they're hitting the ball out of the ballpark.
However, like you said, they are scoring runs in different ways, and that's exactly what the Marlins are doing.
Also, Tony, they have the third lowest payroll in baseball.
Their highest paid player is Giancarlo Stanton.
who has not played for them since 2017.
So this is where we should all be encouraged about where baseball is going because at least two teams are recognizing there's a different way to play the game.
There's a more aggressive way to play the game, and we're going to take it to the other team.
Buck Showalter always used to tell me, still does,
When the other team is better than you or bigger than you or stronger than you, the only way to beat them is to go take the game to them.
Punch them in the face first and see what they do after that.
That's what the Nationals and the Marlins are doing exceptionally well this year.
Well, I hated it, Tony, because I'm almost 70 years old.
Yes, Tony, we have lost the value of the starting pitcher in today's game.
We don't even allow our pitchers to be great anymore.
Even our position, but we don't even allow them to be great.
Three days after they took Uri Perez out, the Pirates took Jared Jones out with a perfect game after six innings.
Twice in four days it happened.
I don't like it.
