1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,920 Speaker 1: He everybody, it's around the park the crookerd Kype and hey, 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the Mets. That's right, another 3 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: New York teams in town. And we'll talk about what 4 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,159 Speaker 1: that means when we come back. Everybody, it's around the 5 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: park with the Crooker Kuype and today's game one of 6 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: a four game series with the New York Mets. And 7 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: this is one of those series that coming into the 8 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: season and everybody gets, you know, ranked as to how 9 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: they they set up in their own division and what 10 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: their chances are given their talent and what they look 11 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: like on paper to get to the playoffs, et cetera, 12 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 1: et cetera. And the Mets are one of those teams. 13 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they've been a team that was really disappointed 14 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: last year having not gotten to the playoffs. But so, 15 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, here we are coming back into 16 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six and all of the New York met 17 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: fans are pretty happy about their team, and the organization's 18 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: very excited about their prospects to get to the playoffs. 19 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: And this makes it one of those series that you 20 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: as a team, the Giants feel like they have a 21 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: good shot to get to the playoffs this year. Means 22 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: a little bit more because of the reputation that these 23 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 1: teams have, and it's it's a report card series. 24 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: Well, the one thing that's going on is, with the 25 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 2: exception for the Giants of one game offensively, they really 26 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 2: haven't hit on all cylinders, and neither of the Mets. 27 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 2: And the Mets, I mean, look, you go up and 28 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: down their lineup, and you know they're historically always really 29 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: good offensively, but they come in with a record of 30 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 2: three and three and the Giants are two and four, 31 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: So I mean, I don't know what that really tells 32 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 2: you is they're playing just good enough to win and 33 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: maybe just good enough to lose. But this is a 34 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: team that's going to be reckoned with throughout the entire season. 35 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 2: I mean to look in their division right now, you 36 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: see who's on top. Miami's five and one. Yeah, and 37 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: that's not going to stay. Although Miami is going to 38 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: compete a little bit this year, but they're in a 39 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: tough division and it's just an you know, the other 40 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 2: thing that is just another New New York team that 41 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: the Giants are playing. So far, they haven't played a 42 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 2: team at home that isn't from New York City and 43 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 2: I'm all already and this is a four game series 44 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: and I'm already tired of them already. 45 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,839 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, when you play a New York team, 46 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: there's there's always a lot more media that surrounds the 47 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: event than you have when you're playing against San Diego 48 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: or playing against Miami. It's just the way it is. 49 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: That's how that's how it goes in New York and 50 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: Philadelphia and Boston, the big the big three East Coast cities, 51 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: the media attention is a little more intense and uh, 52 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: and you have to know that as a player going in. 53 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: I mean you have to know that you're going to 54 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: get questioned. I mean, there's there's you are never going 55 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: to have a comfortable day in front of the media, 56 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: not even when you go four for four, when you 57 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: throw a complete game shut out, You're still going to 58 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: be a bit guarded because of the type of questions 59 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: that that you get asked. 60 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: Can you imagine if Matt Chapman was a Met and 61 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 2: so is Casey Schmidt and they're in New York and 62 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 2: Matt Chapman says that Casey Smith catch the friggin ball, 63 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 2: how do you think the media attention would have been 64 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: on that one. 65 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: It'd been on the front page of the New York Times. 66 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 2: Now it was a big story here, but not nearly 67 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: the type of story that would be be in New York. 68 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 2: And that's just the way it's always been. Uh So, yeah, 69 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: those I mean, these four games are big in a 70 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 2: lot of ways, but one of them is just to 71 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: get the attention of the people in New York because 72 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 2: right now, all the New York fans know is that 73 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: the Yankees swept the Giants in three games and they 74 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: got to You gotta change that a little bit. 75 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: Well, you do, because right now everybody on the East 76 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 1: Coast thinks the Giants are a bunch of slap happies. 77 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: You do this, yell at each other, you. 78 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: Win the series against the match you can, you can 79 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: turn some of that opinion around. And I think that's 80 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: one of the sidebars of this series for the Giants. 81 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 2: Well, they did a nice job going into San Diego, 82 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: taking two out of three, so that hopefully is gonna 83 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: to propel them into playing a little better offensively in 84 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 2: this ballpark because you only play eighty one games here, 85 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: so get it going. 86 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: And that's the plan. And that's around the park with 87 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: the Crooked Kite enjoy this great game.
