00:59forgetting already and Gavin Spittle just came in and gave me her name but they fired
01:03is it Kim yeah yeah and so he now is like wait what what just happened the general manager
01:11you hired got a team that has one of the five lowest payrolls in baseball to the playoffs
01:18she hired me to manage the team and you're getting rid of her and now you're telling
01:23me the new general manager in a way I'm kind of not saying what Skip Shoemaker said but
01:27probably what he's thinking and the reason he left the Marlins is like and you're now
