00:02 - What's the vibe around this Miami team in the community?
00:05 They legitimately think they can make
00:06 a playoff run this year.
00:08 - Well, you know, Donny, it's a great question
00:10 because they were the worst team in Major League Baseball
00:13 after the All-Star break.
00:14 At one point, they were 12 and 29
00:16 after they lost to the Rays in back-to-back games.
00:19 This was last week.
00:21 This was less than a week ago.
00:23 And then they went to Washington
00:25 and they just carved them apart.
00:26 The Mets carved Washington apart too.
00:28 I think Washington's gonna lose a lot of games
00:30 the rest of the season.
00:31 But the surprise, I think, Donny, was last night.
00:34 I think that's the kind of game
00:36 that will get the fans back on board.
00:39 They haven't been relevant in September.
00:41 And a lot of the people were joking with me last night,
00:43 when was the last time that anybody in South Florida
00:46 cared about the Marlins when the Dolphins season begins?
00:49 And they're gonna care this year.
00:52 So it remains to be seen, I think,
00:54 if they can keep it going.
00:55 They have the league's toughest schedule
00:56 over the next two weeks.
00:58 I would say, guys, if Miami is still in this thing
01:02 in a week and a half,
01:04 I think they've got a great shot to get there.
01:05 But when you're talking about playing the Dodgers,
01:08 the Phillies, the Braves, the Brewers seven times,
01:12 they're gonna have to earn their way there.
