Speaker 1: grab a muggin tea proudly.

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into some Giants baseball. We got

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: some Macklin coming up. Don't worry, we got a lot

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: of that. NHL on TNT highlights from last night was awesome.

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: There were two earthquakes last night, one at one forty

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: nine am and one down at the tanks.

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 3: So but it is baseball time.

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 2: Four Giants Mets games should be a lot of Mets

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 2: fans in the building, should be a lively atmosphere, the

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: weather should be great, and the Giants are looking to

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: kind of climb out of that early hole after taking

15
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: two or three in San Diego. Mets, however, looking to

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: reverse their fortune after losing two of three in Saint Louis.

17
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: Despite this lineup that star studded Frankie Lindor, Juan Soto, Bobashit,

18
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: Jorge Polanco, Luis Robert Marcus, Semion, my gosh, Giants would

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: kill for any one of those guys, all right, A

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: guy who does a great job cover in the Game

21
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: of Baseball and the Mets is Will Salmon, staff writer

22
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: for The Athletic.

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: He's joining us on the UMA guest line.

24
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: Will Welcome to K and B are the Giants flagship

25
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: The Morning Show, Murph and Marcus Brian Murphy, Marcus Bouchet.

26
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: How you doing, Will Hey, morning, Will Hey.

27
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 4: Guys, It's good to be on with you. Doing pretty

28
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 4: well over here? Yeah? Yeah?

29
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: Are you on the roady?

30
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 3: Are you in San Francisco?

31
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 4: So the Mets have a very strange schedule this year

32
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 4: where they do a West coast trip to San Francisco

33
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 4: after going to Saint Louis, and then like not even

34
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 4: two weeks later, they go to La So and then

35
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 4: there's like another one after that. So this is the

36
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 4: one that I'm saying to myself, I'll sit this one out.

37
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 4: I'll be watching it from home and I'll be on

38
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: the road in the coming weeks for the next West

39
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 4: coast trips. It's a strange schedule this year for sure.

40
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: That is a lot of travel to the West Coast

41
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: for the Mets and Mets Dodgers. Of course speaks for itself.

42
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: It will be a gigantic series. So okay, let's find

43
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: out a little bit about these guys. So I just

44
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: listed that incredible, star studied lineup, and yet why when

45
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: I look up Mets stories and reading about Frankie Lindor

46
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: making mental mistakes and the team going one for twenty

47
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: nine with runners in scoring position, it was a bad

48
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: series in Saint Louis.

49
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: Huh.

50
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 4: It looks like they're pressing, That's what I'm seeing. And

51
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 4: I say that because it's a lot of chase. It's

52
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: a lot of squeaking out of the strike zone on pitches,

53
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 4: and it's happening with guys on base, and it's happening

54
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 4: with runners in scoring position, and it's happening with their

55
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 4: best players for the most part, outside of maybe Wan

56
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 4: Soto Bobi, Sheet's off to a pretty slow start, pretty

57
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 4: much as slow as it can get for a guy

58
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 4: like him, and he has admitted as much and has

59
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 4: said I had been looking for my moment as a Met,

60
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 4: and that was kind of refreshing to hear, because we'll

61
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 4: often hear that sort of key response to a question

62
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: like that. But at this point it's like, Okay, well,

63
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 4: you got to get back to being who you are,

64
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 4: because it's really being detrimental now and it's really starting

65
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 4: to catch up to them because other guys, it appears,

66
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 4: are also pressing and look as to make something happen.

67
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 4: And we see that with top of the order with Bishette,

68
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 4: and even toward to the bottom up where there are

69
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 4: some guys like Francisco Alvarez, their catcher Brett Batty, who's

70
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: kind of a super utility at this point, these young

71
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 4: guys who kind of need to take that next step

72
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: in their careers. We're seeing them get a little bit

73
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 4: doing a little bit too much, try to do a

74
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 4: little bit too much with it. So it's been unfortunately

75
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 4: because they've gotten some really good pitching book from their

76
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: starting rotation and their bullpen.

77
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, to your point, I know that there were

78
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 5: some questions after the Boboschett signing. We all know what

79
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 5: we can do with the bat but there's also some

80
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 5: questions about the glove. So how's that transition been like

81
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 5: for him over at third base? And maybe is there

82
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 5: a feeling that maybe he's overthinking in the field and

83
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 5: he's carrying some of that into the box.

84
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's a good point. That's something that scouts

85
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 4: actually talk to me about. During spring training. Is that

86
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 4: was a question that they had, is to whether he

87
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 4: would get off to maybe a slow start and he

88
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 4: would bring it to the batter's box. I don't know

89
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 4: if those two things are so far related, just because

90
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 4: defensively he's actually looked pretty good. I would say he

91
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 4: had a few throws in the first couple of games

92
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 4: that went up the line, and he has since kind

93
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 4: of corrected that pretty quickly. And I thought he's actually

94
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 4: been good with like reading balls and making plays on bunts.

95
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 4: So I haven't only seen a whole lot that makes

96
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: me think, Okay, he looks like a fish out of

97
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 4: water there at third base, and it's affecting him in

98
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 4: the box. I think it's more so just here's a

99
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 4: guy who was a free agent for the first time

100
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 4: and signed a pretty good contract, especially just on the

101
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 4: short term end of it, and just how much money

102
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 4: he is making this year. It's upward of forty million dollars,

103
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: So he's a he's expecting a lot out of himself,

104
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 4: and the Mets are certainly expecting a lot for him,

105
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 4: and so is the fan base because it's going to

106
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 4: be inevitable all year. The comparisons that are going to

107
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 4: be made between this lineup and last year's lineup, which

108
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 4: featured of course Pee a Lonzo and Brandon Neimo, and

109
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 4: Bichet's kind of the poster child for this change because

110
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 4: he embodies everything that the Mets kind of wandered in

111
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 4: this new group, which was supposed to be a lot

112
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 4: of contact, a lot of clutch, and so far we're

113
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 4: not seeing it.

114
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: Talking to Will Salmon does a great job covering baseball

115
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: and the Mets for the Athletic must Read, and the

116
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: Mets are in town for four big ones. Man, the

117
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: Giants did not get any breaks from the schedulers. The

118
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: Yankees in town last weekend with the one of the

119
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: biggest payrolls in baseball, the Mets in town this weekend

120
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 2: with one of the biggest parels in baseball. So it's

121
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: varsity time for the Giants. Juan Soda, that's a guy

122
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 2: who obviously the Yankees wanted to keep huge move last year.

123
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 2: It doesn't even get him a playoff spot, but he

124
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: is Wan Soda and he still remains one of the

125
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: most dangerous guys in the game.

126
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: What's your take, what's your read? How's he fitting in?

127
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: What should Giants fans expect in these next four games

128
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 2: from this guy. In other words, I guess that's a

129
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: long window way of saying, do you just pitch around him?

130
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 3: Are there too many bets?

131
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 4: I feel like he do. I feel like he do

132
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 4: for a couple of home runs unfortunately for Giants fans.

133
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 4: I just he looks really good at the play. I

134
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 4: think at least he's on balls. And that's why I

135
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 4: say that's he looks dow like. There's some times where

136
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 4: you see a guy fallI ball off and like, Okay, wow,

137
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 4: he like really just missed that. I've seen that a

138
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 4: couple of times. And I've also seen like just the

139
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 4: patented line drives up the middle to the opposite field

140
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: from Juan Soto, and he's a guy that uses all fields.

141
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 4: There's nobody that I've seen in person as frequently or

142
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 4: as consistently be a judge of the strike zone as

143
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: Wan Soto. He is like the human version version of ABS.

144
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 4: So he's he's on a different level. And I think

145
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 4: this year he's just much more comfortable in a Mets

146
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 4: uniform and in that Mets clubhouse. And that's kind of

147
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 4: to be understandable. After you sign the largest contract in

148
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 4: the sports history, and all eyes are on you. I

149
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: felt like it took him maybe a month or so

150
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 4: to kind of get going to the Juan Soto standard

151
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 4: of getting going. I think anybody could, anybody else maybe

152
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 4: in baseball outside of two or three other people would

153
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 4: take his numbers through April of last year and be okay.

154
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 4: But for Juan Soto, more is expected. And I just

155
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 4: feel like this year you can kind of just tell

156
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 4: by his vibe and the clubhouse is the vibe with

157
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: guys on the field, just how he's interacting. He's much

158
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 4: more comfortable, it seems, and that's bad news for opposing

159
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: teams because him in that lineup, he makes it all go.

160
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 4: And I just feel like once he really gets going

161
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 4: and even the power sharks to come and shows up

162
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: at home runs, that will inevitably help someone like a

163
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: Bobashett who was batting behind him.

164
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, we saw Wan Soto show up in San Francisco

165
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 5: a couple of years ago in Pinstripes and hit a

166
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 5: couple of home runs that almost went into the cove.

167
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 5: We'll see how he does this weekend here in San Francisco.

168
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 5: But it also felt like we saw more of the

169
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 5: Soto shuffle and some of that character when he was

170
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 5: still playing for the Yankees. We saw some of that

171
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 5: in the World Baseball Classic. Also, I know that was

172
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 5: a bit of a storyline last year out in New

173
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 5: York Day. He wasn't really embracing the Sodo shuffle. But

174
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 5: I guess the question is have Mets fans fully embraced Wan.

175
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: Soto and is the Soto shuffle back this season.

176
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 4: I don't know about the Solo shuffle. I saw a

177
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 4: little glimmer of it, I think on an opening Day,

178
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 4: and that's kind of been like what it is at

179
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 4: this point, Like he didn't really do it a whole

180
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 4: lot last year, at really any point, and like in

181
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: I think it was May or maybe late April. I

182
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 4: actually asked him. I was like, where is it, man?

183
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 4: I was waiting for it. I was looking to see it,

184
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: and he's just like, I gotta feel it. I guess

185
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 4: he never felt it that much because it never really

186
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 4: showed up, and it could just be like, hey, he

187
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 4: maybe just doesn't want to do it anymore. I don't know,

188
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 4: but he definitely looks more comfortable. He's not doing push

189
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 4: ups like he was at the WBC or whatever he

190
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 4: was doing over there. But I think the fan base

191
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 4: has fully embraced Juan Soto because one how good he is,

192
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 4: but he's also going to be here for a very

193
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 4: long time, so you better get on board with this

194
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 4: being the Wan Soto Mets because that ain't changing as

195
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 4: far as I can see it. And he seems like

196
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 4: he's embracing that too though by his I think relationships

197
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 4: that he's building with someone like a Luise Robert Junior

198
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 4: who is a big X actor for this club, and

199
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 4: the new right fielder, the rookie Carson bench, he has

200
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 4: really taken him under his wing as well. So it's

201
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 4: definitely his outfield and it's looking more and more like

202
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 4: Won Soto's team too.

203
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 2: It's a daunting lineup for sure, Man Francis, we didn't

204
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: get to Lindor and so, but just real quick, the

205
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: Lindor mistakes getting picked off last night, well not maybe

206
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: not paying attention and forgetting how many outs in the

207
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: first inning? Small just blip or is there any concern

208
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: that they're not all tuned in?

209
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 4: Well, the lack of focus was evident. That was bad.

210
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 4: That's not something that you want to see a few

211
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: games into his season where there's really high expectations and

212
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 4: there's a lot at stake for this club because they

213
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 4: missed the playoffs last year, like you said, in the

214
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 4: first year of Juan Soto and after all this investment

215
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 4: into this club, it was supposed to be a pretty

216
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 4: good team. Turned out it wasn't, and so there's a

217
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 4: lot on this group to make amends for that. And

218
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 4: Francisco Lindor was part of that last year. He's not

219
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 4: a new guy. He's been here a while, so I

220
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 4: don't know. I wouldn't go as far as to say

221
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 4: it's like something to be watchful over, to look at

222
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 4: going forward, because like, that's not something that Francisco Lindor

223
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 4: really ever does. And that's also why it was kind

224
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 4: of a story, was it's like, Wow, that's an anomaly

225
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 4: that never really happens. He's always so focused, he's always

226
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 4: so into the game that it was shocking to see that,

227
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 4: like him forgetting the outs and then getting picked off,

228
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 4: and the Mets manager Carlos Mendoza kinda gave him a

229
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 4: little bit of a mulligan on the pickoff, but Lindoor

230
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 4: was the first one to tell you that, look, I

231
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 4: got to be better, and that's kind of his m

232
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 4: When things go awry, he's always accountable. He's always that

233
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 4: kind of leader. So I don't expect that to be

234
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 4: something that happens more than what we saw from Francisco lindor.

235
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: Interesting stuff too well.

236
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 5: Final question for me is just a preview on some

237
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 5: of these pitching matchups. Freddy Peralta a big off season

238
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 5: signing pitch yesterday, so the Giants will avoid him. David Peterson,

239
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 5: the All Star from last year's on the bump today

240
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 5: against Robbie Ray, Nolan McLain, who we all saw in

241
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 5: the World Baseball Classic, one of the top pitching prospects

242
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 5: in baseball.

243
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: Clay Holmes, the.

244
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 5: Former reliever from the New York Yankees, and Code I

245
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 5: Sanga what that ghost fork will be pitching as well

246
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 5: this weekend. What can you tell us about the Met's

247
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 5: rotation and what the Giants offense can expect to see.

248
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 4: It'll be tough for the Giants. Actually, I like the

249
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 4: Giants club big. You know, I covered William domas that

250
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 4: when I covered the Milwaukee Brewer, so I know what

251
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 4: he's all about. I like a lot. So it's a

252
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 4: good test for them because this rotation, I think it's

253
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 4: going to be a little bit better than what people

254
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 4: gave him credit for at the beginning of the season,

255
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 4: But it all hinges on Nolan McLain and code I

256
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 4: Sanga of that group before that you previewed, because McLain's

257
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 4: the guy who they need him to be that number

258
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 4: one or number two. With Freddie Peralta, he had just

259
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 4: the eight starts, but really everybody what they saw from

260
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 4: those eight starts was this guy is legit. That's why

261
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 4: he was on that USAWBC team. And then with Kodai Senga,

262
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 4: he's just like I said, Luis Robert Junior is an

263
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 4: X factor for their lineup. There's no biggest, no bigger

264
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 4: X factor for the rotation than Senga because he could

265
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 4: either be part of like a big three with those

266
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 4: two other guys, or he could be like the odd

267
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 4: guy out like Seul Manaya is right now. So the

268
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 4: last start he looked great. It was there was a

269
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 4: lot of intrigue on that because he was demoted to

270
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 4: the minor leagues and he had an off season where

271
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 4: there was a lot of questions as to what exactly

272
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 4: you're getting from this guy. Dare I say he looked

273
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 4: almost as good as ever because his fastball was five

274
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 4: miles an hour faster than what we're usually we're used

275
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 4: to seeing from it. So he looked like a little

276
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 4: bit different in that regard, and so all of that group,

277
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 4: I am most excited to see what he looks like

278
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 4: in start number two.

279
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: Great stuff.

280
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 2: Well, Ay, Milsten, we like reading you in the Athletic

281
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: and it's just fun talking Mets Giants baseball. You know,

282
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: don't forget the orange and the Mets represents the old

283
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: New York Giants, right, we still have that historical tie in, right,

284
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: fun stuff. Hey, thanks for hopping on with Murph and Marcus,

285
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: and enjoy the baseball.

286
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks, Will good chatting with you guys.

287
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff, Will Samon Metts. Now listen, it was

288
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 2: it was an unspoken elephant in the room when the

289
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: Yankees opened here. We sort of like, you know, we

290
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 2: kind of like we kind of danced around it. Marcus

291
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: lifelong Yankee fan but also went to seventy one Giants

292
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: games last Year's learned to love his National League club.

293
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 5: I mean, I told you the Yankees an I are

294
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 5: in an open relationship.

295
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 3: Oh that's like big news these days.

296
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 2: By the way, if you're like following y zeitgeis, there's

297
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: some woman wrote a book about her polyamorous marriage, and

298
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: oh yeah, people are checking in all over the place.

299
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 5: That's me, Buster Posy and Brian Savie. We're in a

300
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,239
Speaker 5: poly relationship.

301
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 4: You go.

302
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 2: But we can count on the Met hating Marcus this

303
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: weekend the Mets.

304
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 5: I told everybody, dude, the baseball season is one hundred

305
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 5: and sixty two games long. We can get through the

306
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 5: first three and I'll be rooting for the Giants for

307
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 5: the next one to fifty nine.

308
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 3: It's funny.

309
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 2: I mean, Yankee fans and Mets fans. They don't speak

310
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: the same language.

311
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: Not at all, not at all. It's too different co

312
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 3: or true gayzy. If you say you're a fan of both, right,

313
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 3: No you can't. It's like saying you're an A's and

314
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: a Giant.

315
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: I always felt that way, but then I had some people.

316
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 2: I had some freakin peace loving friends who.

317
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 3: Are like I do like the Giants.

318
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 5: No, No, it's like saying you're a Raider and a

319
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 5: Niner fan. By the way, obviously I'm a Raider fan.

320
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 5: I work for the forty nine ers. But I can

321
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 5: never claim to be both. You mean you like that

322
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 5: what you're saying, Oh, we like it, We like it

323
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 5: a lot.

324
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: The details of the contract are coming out in a

325
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: little Fox News chime in case anybody missed it. We've

326
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: been so focused on the giants, Tony Vee and Macklin.

327
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins has signed a long term deal with the

328
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Raiders, and apparently the way the money stacked up, dude,

329
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: he might be your week one starter. I mean, so

330
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: it used to be when you drafted a rookie quarterback,

331
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: you let him sit for a while. Lately they've been

332
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: chucking him in the deep end with very mixed results.

333
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: A lot of quarterbacks have had their careers scuttled on

334
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: the rocks. I mean it's only Sam Donald had to

335
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: climb out of the wreckage to save his career by

336
00:14:58,920 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: coming to San Francisco.

337
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 3: But we can go at any number of quarterbacks that

338
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: started too soon, maybe way too many.

339
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 2: This is good for Fernando Mendoza doesn't have to be

340
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: the weak one guy facing complex NFL defense.

341
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

342
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 5: It's a nice soft landing now for Fernando Mendozo, who

343
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 5: we are all expecting the Raiders to take with the

344
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 5: number one overall pick, but also when it comes through

345
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 5: the development and somebody that Fernando can learn other under

346
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 5: I should say, and you're talking about culture fits, I

347
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 5: mean the Raiders might have like the most family friendly

348
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 5: orientated QB room in the entire league.

349
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 2: What happened to the bad Boys went from Bourbon Street

350
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: straight to the locker room? What happened to the Ted Hendricks,

351
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: the Stork, John Matusak, all the Lunatics, the Freaking Roman,

352
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: the Santa Rosa Tropicana Summers?

353
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 3: Are Fernando and Kirk Cousin's gonna do on the trip

354
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: terrorizing neighborhood taverns?

355
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 4: Man?

356
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 3: Where's my snake? Stabler?

357
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: You guys are like the freaking boy Scouts now different times,

358
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: different times on the Funny Stuff Man. By the way,

359
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: four Waight points out another sad day for Kyle. No

360
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins didn't get his boy, no bromance. Yeah, so anyway,

361
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: that was an offshoot of the Mets and Mets yank Giants. Listen,

362
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a tough series, guys. I'm calling

363
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: for a split, and a split would be a great achievement.

364
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: This is a stacked Mets team. I don't know how

365
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: they lost two or three in Saint Louis.

366
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 4: They didn't.

367
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: They had their head up their rear end. Unfortunately, I

368
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: hated him. Say yeah, Wan Soda looks like he's ready

369
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: to break out. I've seen there, seen that, been there,

370
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: done that.

371
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 5: I don't want to see the Sodo shuffle this week,

372
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 5: which was also a weird storyline last year for the Mets.

373
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 5: Mets fans were complaining that he wasn't doing the Sodo

374
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 5: shuffle enough.

375
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: I saw Mom, Donnie is a Mets fan. Fill an

376
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: insert joke here. Now somebody inserted a joke there. Because

377
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: I said it to somebody.

378
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 3: I forget that. They said, how ironic is that?

379
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: Considering the Mets are owned by maybe the biggest billionaire

380
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: capitalists of all time.

381
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 3: The Mets ain't given away no free bus riding. Here's

382
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: Mom Donnie. Oh yeah, that's my guy. That's my team.

383
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: Little Lincoln say, hey, sports are funny, right, sports are funny? Okay,

384
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: Speaking of sports, there was a sport in San Jose, California,

385
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: last night, and it rocked the Bay so much so

386
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: that Mother Nature erupted in a four point six earthquake

387
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: or a Macklin quake. Let's get into it next on

388
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 2: these Sports Leader
