The Sev & Geff Podcast

On this episode (recorded June 4, 2020), Paul and Glenn talk with Mel Stottlemyre Jr. The Marlins pitching coach catches us up on how Miami pitchers are staying sharp as they await the start of the 2020 season. He talks with tremendous passion about the impact his father--former Yankees star and 5-time World Series champion pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre Sr.--had on his life and career as well as where the Marlins are headed as an organization.

On this episode (recorded May 1, 2020), Paul and Glenn talk with the dean of the Marlins beat, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com. No one has covered the club longer, and Joe offers his unique perspective on the franchise's building process and how it could be impacted by a potentially abbreviated 2020 season and possibly no season at all in the minor leagues, where the club's future core players are developing.

In this episode (recorded April 20, 2020), Paul and Glenn talk with new Marlins closer Brandon Kintzler. A 40th-round draft choice who was released in Single-A and then pitched 2 1/2 seasons of Independent League ball, Kintzler has persevered to spend all or part of the last 10 seasons in the major leagues, earning selection to the All-Star team in 2017. He'll tell us how a chance encounter with Greg Maddux helped set his career on a path toward success, and you won't want to miss the story of his Las Vegas wedding, complete with a 4-legged, tuxedo-wearing best man.

In this episode (recorded April 9, 2020), Paul and Glenn talk with Hall of Fame baseball writer Jayson Stark, currently of The Athletic and MLB Network. Over the last 40 years, Jayson has brought a unique perspective to covering the obscure, the humorous, the funny and the historic side of Major League Baseball. His "Strange but True" and "Rumblings and Grumblings" columns are must-reads for anyone passionate about the sport. He'll discuss the origins of his love of the game and the evolution over the decades of how statistics are used in baseball. Jayson will also share some very personal and poignant reflections of the July, 2019 weekend when he was honored by the Baseball Hall of Fame with the Spink Award for excellence in baseball writing.

On this episode (recorded April 5, 2020), Paul and Glenn welcome Hall of Fame Marlins broadcaster Dave Van Horne to the show. Dave reflects on more than 50 years of Major League broadcasting, shares great memories both on and off the field and talks about how the business has changed over the decades.

In this episode (recorded March 31, 2020), Paul and Glenn talk with 17-year major league veteran and current MLB Network analyst Cliff Floyd. In addition to taking us behind the scenes with the 1997 World Series champion Marlins, Cliff offers his unique perspective on coming up through the minors as one of the top prospects in the game, and the lessons he learned that he'd now share with the Marlins' future stars. Among many other topics, he also reflects on his time with the Montreal Expos and the experience of playing for legendary managers Felipe Alou, Jim Leyland and Joe Maddon.

In this episode (recorded March 29, 2020), Paul and Glenn talk with Miami native, former big league catcher and current Fox Sports Florida analyst J.P. Arencibia. Among many other things, J.P. takes us behind the plate to discuss the art of catching in the major leagues, discusses how pitchers should be working out to stay ready during this extended delay to the start of season and shares his thoughts on potential on-field changes in the game.

On this episode (recorded March 26, 2020), Paul and Glenn catch up with former Marlins pitcher Tom Koehler, who recently retired after missing the last 2 seasons due to a series of shoulder injuries.

On this episode (recorded March 22, 2020), Paul and Glenn talk with long-time Fox Sports Florida Marlins analyst Tommy Hutton.
