1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: None of us want Monday. Nobody wants Monday on either team,

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: either podcast, either fan base. No one wants to deal

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: with Monday, basically, and you know it may not be

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: Winner Take All by then, Welcome to a crossover edition

5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: of a podcast featuring Hammer Territory and metst Up you

6
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: would imagine in the middle of a big time playoff

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: atmosphere kind of series. Half of this podcast is happy.

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: Half of this podcast is not as happy. That was

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: gonna be the way it went, no matter what the

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: result was on this Tuesday evening with the Braves five

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: to one win. My name is Brad Roland. I am

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: part of Hammer Territory alongside Steven Tolbert. Hello Steven, we

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: talk all the time. How are you, Brad, how's it going?

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: I'm good?

15
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: And the Mets stuff guys are here, Mark and James.

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

17
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 4: I mean, I was really hoping this is going to

18
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 4: be a little bit different, different of a post game

19
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 4: reaction coming from us, but you guys really handed it

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 4: to us. It was not a good game by the

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 4: Mets in almost any facet of it, and that was

22
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 4: That's a tough way to start the series with the

23
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,919
Speaker 4: context that we have of the Mets and the Braves

24
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 4: late in September didn't love that.

25
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like I said, you figured to be something,

26
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 3: Marcus said, figured to be something different. But the worst

27
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 3: part about every Mets fan watching this game is that

28
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: this feels like very much more of the same. And

29
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: now I think that those feelings were a little bit

30
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: pervasive before this game, but every Mets fan was like, no,

31
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: this is different. We don't want to think those thoughts again.

32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: And now because of the way this game started, because

33
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 3: of the way this game ended, that is the front

34
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: of mind I can speak for basically every single Mets

35
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: fan right now.

36
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 5: That's all I can think about.

37
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's all market and think about any Mets

38
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: fan watching this and listening to this can think about

39
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: right now, and that is a horribly unscary thought.

40
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's RECs from from the Braves perspective. You know,

41
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 6: all year long, we've said if this team scores, they win.

42
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 6: And you know, they've got one of the best here

43
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 6: in the second best era in baseball. As a team,

44
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 6: they've struggled all year being able to score runs, and

45
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 6: when they score, they win. And they scored five runs tonight,

46
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 6: and you know the pitching was outstanding like it normally is.

47
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 6: And it really is that simple for them. If they

48
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 6: score three, four or five runs in a game, they

49
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 6: win the game typically, and so that's the key for them.

50
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 6: And obviously they took care of business tonight.

51
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: On the vibe side of things. Uh, I had I

52
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: had that thought that you guys might say that about

53
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: how this the Mets feel, give given the recent history,

54
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: I will say, you know, coming in, the pressure is

55
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: all on the Braves, right the deficit is what it is.

56
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: I know that maybe it doesn't feel that way to

57
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: the Mets having been in the position they've been in

58
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, but they're kind of in

59
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: the driver's seat here and the Braves have to win.

60
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: The Braves have to win these games or they're just

61
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: going to be dead. That's going to be the stakes

62
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: for them. And you know, the famous adage is like,

63
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: you can't make a statement and can't sweep a series

64
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: unless you win game one. They won Game one, but

65
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: it's still I mean, we'll get into it later, I'm sure,

66
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: but the pressure is kind of still on the Braves

67
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: even there's kind of a comfortable win in some respects,

68
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: the Mets are still the team ahead. The Mets are

69
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: still in control of this thing too, at least some extent,

70
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: even if I'm sure judge by the reaction from Mark

71
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: and James, it does not feel that way necessarily on

72
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: a Tuesday.

73
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I got to give a little shout to

74
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 4: my cousin Ted. He we were texting during the game

75
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 4: and he was saying, how this Mets team all year

76
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 4: is kind of played with house money. They've been playing

77
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 4: a lot loose, feels like they got nothing to lose

78
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 4: because there was no expectations. Tonight was the first time,

79
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 4: at least in my opinion and my cousins as well,

80
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 4: where it felt like the Mets felt the pressure. It

81
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 4: felt like the Mets knew they had something to lose,

82
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 4: where these previous games playing the Phillies and everybody else

83
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: that were doing a lot of chasing, even chasing the

84
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 4: Braves and the Diamondbacks and the Padres at some point,

85
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 4: But now this game against the Braves, it felt like

86
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 4: things in their brain at least for a little bit

87
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 4: changed where they started to feel the pressure more than

88
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 4: they have all year, and that is not something I

89
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: was hoping to see tonight.

90
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: I also think that weirdly, the Mets off day that

91
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 3: they had yesterday on Monday them because this Mets team

92
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: have been playing day after day after day. I think

93
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: it was just what like fourteenth straight days or seventeenth

94
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: straight days they had the game and they had to

95
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: deal with the Lindor injury and Stride, they had to

96
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 3: deal with everything happening in stride, those blown saves last

97
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: weekend against the Phillies and this last seven straight days

98
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: of City Field.

99
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 5: It was just momentum, momentum, momentum. There was no thinking.

100
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 3: There was just playing next day at bad that bad

101
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 3: picture and now similar building off of Mark said, like

102
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 3: there was a moment of thought and like this moment

103
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: of like really like oh wow, we're really doing it

104
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 3: really in this spot. Maybe possibly a little bit of

105
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 3: like reading the press clippings. I know, Mark and I

106
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: probably reading the press clippings too. Oh we kind of

107
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: were some of the press clippings the other day where

108
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: and it's just like now the realization happens. You're like, Okay,

109
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 3: now this is like the ultimate moment. You have to

110
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 3: dig deep because Chris Sales on the mound the next

111
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: game whenever it happens, and you have to basically win

112
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: it to secure all the good things that happened this season.

113
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 6: Well, and that's the fascinating part of this series is

114
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 6: that we don't know when the next game is going

115
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 6: to be played. I mean, there's a hurricane. There's a

116
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 6: hurricane coming at some point in the next two days,

117
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 6: and so winning game one, I mean game two might

118
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 6: not be till like Monday. We really have no idea

119
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 6: when game two of the series is gonna be. So

120
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 6: getting off Turt. Winning Game one was was you know,

121
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 6: for the Braves, of course, it was just of massive importance.

122
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 6: I mean, they could not afford to lose Game one. Honestly,

123
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 6: it was I agree with Brad. It was way more

124
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 6: important of game for the Braves, probably than the Mets.

125
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 6: Even that side. I know, they're dealing with a lot

126
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 6: of demons. They're dealing with twenty twenty two and all

127
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 6: the bad thoughts that came from that series. But just

128
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 6: from the standing standpoint, the Braves had to have this game.

129
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 6: I mean, they just they had to have this game.

130
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 4: I know, you guys were talking about that. It feels

131
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 4: like it's the pressures on the Braves and you can

132
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 4: see mine and James's reactions to everything that's being said,

133
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 4: and we're just so incredibly a ball of stress right now.

134
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 4: Is because we felt on Sunday night it's completely gone.

135
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 4: Right now, it does not feel the same you guys, like,

136
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 4: you guys just do this to us all the time.

137
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 4: So do you actually feel any pressure, because it doesn't

138
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 4: feel like you do at all.

139
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 7: No.

140
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: I will say it's been and I know you guys

141
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: want to don't want to hear this. It's been a

142
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: very angsty Brave season, like throughout. I know they've been

143
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: in kind of decent shape the whole way, but all

144
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: the injuries they've had, like it's been like nothing has

145
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: gone right for the Braves all year long. So it

146
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: may not feel like it's supposed to be angsty, but

147
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: it's been really angsty all year and coming into this

148
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: like they've been playing really well recently as well, like

149
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like they probably should be with their roster,

150
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: but they keep winning series and then you look at

151
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: the standings and they've lost ground in the last six

152
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: weeks to the Mets and the Diamondbacks because they've been

153
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: playing so well. As you guys know, the Mets have

154
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: been so hot for so long that it Braves like

155
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: cannot they can't seem to make up any ground, so

156
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: they kind of came in like we all know the

157
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: deal here. The Braves have to win a series, so

158
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: they're going to be going home. So yeah, there's some pressure,

159
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: but I guess once you could take a three nothing

160
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: lead and you kind of realize it's the Mets and

161
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: all the all the race of history kind of seeps in.

162
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure maybe we had a little bit of reaction,

163
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: but I don't know about Steven. I didn't feel good

164
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: about this one until it was five nothing, and even then,

165
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: like nothing is safe in a high stress game.

166
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 5: It's baseball.

167
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: You guys knows how this is. It's like it until

168
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: the final out, nobody's exhaling, and even then it's like, oh,

169
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: by the way, they got to do this again tomorrow.

170
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: Well maybe tomorrow, maybe doubleheader, Monday, whatever, it's gonna be,

171
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: like you guys said, But no matter what happens, it's like,

172
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: all right, they got one, now they have to get

173
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: the next one. Whereas the Mets kind of have a

174
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: little bit mood.

175
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 6: I didn't sit down to watch a pitch until Jimenez

176
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 6: came in in the eighth inning. That was the first

177
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 6: time I actually sat on my couch to actually watch

178
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 6: a pitch. So no, I never I never felt good

179
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 6: about this game until it was until the game was

180
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 6: over quite howso. And and in terms of like stress,

181
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 6: it is funny, like relative to expectations because you know,

182
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 6: the Mets, I feel like the Mets are playing with

183
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 6: house money a little bit because no one really expected

184
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 6: them to win anything this year. This was always going

185
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 6: to be kind of a bridge year for them. You know,

186
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 6: they went for big and twenty three it didn't work.

187
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 6: They kind of, you know, spun it back a little bit.

188
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 6: And you know, for the Braves that the expectation is

189
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 6: always to win a World Series, even with the injuries.

190
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 6: You might think with the injuries that that changes. But

191
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 6: like for the fan base, especially when you have the

192
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 6: you know, basically the number one pitching staff in baseball

193
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 6: and have all year, like, the expectation is at the

194
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 6: very least to make the playoffs. And so yeah, I mean,

195
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 6: our stress level has been through the roof for most

196
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 6: of this season. And it hasn't helped that the Diamondbacks,

197
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 6: the Padres, and the Mets have been like the three

198
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 6: hottest teams in baseball since the All Star break, like Brad' said,

199
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 6: with the Braves have been able to gain no ground

200
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 6: despite playing really well for about six weeks, and that's

201
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 6: just added to the stress. So yeah, Braves fans have

202
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 6: been I would say highly stressed over the last well

203
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 6: all year really, but especially over the last six weeks

204
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 6: or so.

205
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: But you know this too, like not just to finish

206
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: that thought, I we all, we've all been circling this

207
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: Mets series for six weeks. Probably I'm sure you guys

208
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: have too. It's like, all right, it's probably gonna come

209
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: down this to this series in late September. We all

210
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: kind of understand that. And if the teams are close,

211
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: everyone has this big red circle on this series. So

212
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: that maybe I guess swings a little bit of the

213
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: of the vibes of this thing. Because no matter what

214
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: happened with the Braves totally collapsed, it was going to

215
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: be a chance this week and winning game one of

216
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: the series that kind of I guess improves that chance.

217
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: And it was even only until our big winning streak

218
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 3: two weeks ago where we actually got to have you

219
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 3: guys in the standings consistently, like we have been weirdly

220
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: chasing you like you talk about, oh, we've been playing

221
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: so well in can't gin ground. That's how fell from

222
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 3: our perspective. For the last three full months. The Mets

223
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 3: have the best record in baseball since June first, The

224
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 3: Mets have the fifth best record in baseball since the

225
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 3: All Star break, and we're still like, how could we

226
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 3: be a game and a half behind the Brave, still like,

227
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: thankfully we won the nine out of ten last week,

228
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 3: and then we just won the six out of seven

229
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: this week, so like, okay, we're head by two games,

230
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 3: but those two games felt monumental compared to where the

231
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 3: rest of the season has been. How these National League

232
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 3: wild card standings have shaken out through the second half.

233
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 4: And I think it's also important for Mets fans too,

234
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 4: like a little bit of heat check because again we're nervous,

235
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 4: we're stressed again, deja vu, PTSD, whatever you want to call,

236
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 4: like we're.

237
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 7: Having it right now.

238
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 4: But this team really has stepped up a lot all year.

239
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 4: There's been a lot of big games for this team.

240
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 4: There's been a lot of times me and James have

241
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 4: said there must win games way earlier in the season.

242
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 7: The Mets step up. They do it.

243
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 4: Not that are you know, opinion really matters on what

244
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 4: a must win game is or not. But this team

245
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 4: has stepped up before. Schwellenbach's like a good pitcher. I

246
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 4: think a lot of times too, people get caught up

247
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 4: in the narrative of a rookie pitcher pitching in a

248
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 4: big game. You don't find out these guys are dogs

249
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 4: until they actually step up in those moments.

250
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 7: This is Schwellenbax's big moment. He stepped up.

251
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 4: Severo did not for us. The offense completely crumbled for

252
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 4: the Mets in tonight's game.

253
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 7: But at the same.

254
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 4: Time, like once in a while you can tip your

255
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 4: cap and like they beat us. There's nothing that the

256
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 4: Mets did in this game that gave me the apparent

257
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 4: appearance of what like Mets fans like to say, like

258
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 4: the choke. Besides just simply not hitting, like five runs

259
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 4: is a game that you can win. This was a

260
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 4: winnable game from the pitching side of things. It was

261
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 4: just the bats got shut down because Swellenbach was just

262
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 4: simply better he.

263
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 3: Was, and he seemed to get better as the game

264
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: went on, like as you guys built the lead, like

265
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: it seemed like he was growing stronger and stronger. And

266
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 3: last time we fish Swellenbach, that's Saturday in city field.

267
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 3: He was good differently because he was just Slyly after

268
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: Slyther and everybody was swaying and missing. This one he

269
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 3: was so comfortable with to lead. He was like, hit it,

270
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 3: hit it, hit it. You guys played great defense. I

271
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: was watching in my roommate who watches three baseball games

272
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: a year, maybe if that, and he's like, the Brace

273
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: have really impressed me with their defense. I was like,

274
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 3: shut up, don't say, don't say these things out loud,

275
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: and me where I'm doing with this. But like the

276
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: Mets were hitting the ball well. The two three, four,

277
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 3: and five hitters combined for oh for doing the quick

278
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: math fifteen for the Mets. But brand Nemo had three

279
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: hard hit balls. Mark Fveanze hit that home run, hit

280
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: another ball on the cruise. Nemo hit that ball down

281
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 3: the line, and that was the seventh or eighth where

282
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 3: if Alsen doesn't get the glove on there, you're suddenly

283
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 3: looking at second and third, one out of the harder

284
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: the Mets lineup looking coming up in a four three

285
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 3: run games, It's.

286
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 6: Like it justod. That's when I stood back.

287
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: Up there you go exactly, because I felt like it

288
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: was tense for those moments. But even as the game,

289
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: weirdly I think felt out of reach for Mets fans

290
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: in a much more real sense, it wasn't that out

291
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 3: of reach. We just couldn't really muster up anything. We

292
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 3: couldn't string hits together. Were only four hits in general

293
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 3: in this game. You can't win a game of four

294
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 3: hits when you other team has five runs.

295
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:50,599
Speaker 5: You can't do it.

296
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 6: Let me let me ask you guys something the Mets guys,

297
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 6: so like from my perspective, it feels like it's a

298
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 6: it's like a house money year for the Mets, like

299
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 6: because I didn't expect them to do much. Most people

300
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 6: didn't expect them to do much. They got off to

301
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 6: that horrible start. Think you guys were like eleven games

302
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 6: under five hundred and like the early part of June

303
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 6: or something like that. A lot of people kind of

304
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 6: wrote you guys off, and I'm one of them. To

305
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 6: be honest, I wasn't thinking about the Mets at all.

306
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 6: So from your perspective, from Mets fans perspective, does it

307
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 6: still feel like like a house money year. Or is

308
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 6: it the fact that you're already here and now in

309
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 6: the playoffs, like expectations have flipped.

310
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 7: You got to ask me that in November. I can't

311
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 7: answer that question Seceember.

312
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, because right now the crazy Mets fan brain is

313
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 4: telling me. As much as this season has been surprising

314
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 4: and better than we expected, I'm still gonna be heartbroken

315
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 4: if we don't make the postseason. Like this, this season

316
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 4: has been so great, it has to end with the

317
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 4: postseason birth.

318
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 7: It has to end with some sort of run.

319
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 4: It It would leave a bad taste in our mouth

320
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 4: for what overall, like for the grand scheme of the

321
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 4: Mets in their future, would be a successful good season.

322
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 4: But I'm also tired of saying that, and I would

323
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 4: like an actual successful good season for once.

324
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 7: It's it's tough to answer. On September twenty fourth.

325
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: I'll be way more dramatic than Mark because we've tasted

326
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 3: the forbidden fruit over these last few months. Now like

327
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 3: we've been in a playoff spot again, the best record

328
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: in the baseball since June first, it would now totally

329
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: flip and the expectations have now overcome me, and I

330
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 3: think I would be very disappointed if this team didn't,

331
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: especially because, like we opened with it all, we always

332
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 3: knew for three straight months it was coming down to

333
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 3: this exact series against the Braves in Atlanta. Three games

334
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 3: against the Braves in Atlanta. The Braves are missing most

335
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 3: of their best players. There's not much of excuse right now.

336
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 3: On paper, you probably very much have a better team.

337
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 3: Not definitely, not better pitching, definitely, not the better bullpen,

338
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 3: but one through nine you should really be able to

339
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 3: hit with these guys. And the fact that this is

340
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 3: how they showed up after the first games, it's really

341
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 3: hard not to get these horribly terrifying flashbacks.

342
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, before we talk a little bit more,

343
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 4: because obviously there's a few more games to talk about

344
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 4: too coming up, and some more little itty bitty details.

345
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 7: Let's run a quick break and we'll be right back.

346
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 8: I love a great deal, but I'm not gonna run

347
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 8: sprint in the outfield just to save a few bucks.

348
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,160

00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: crossover edition of hemorh Territory and met Stuff. Please go

368
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: ahead and subscribe to both of these podcasts, even if

369
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: you want to hate listen to one of them, which

370
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: is probably the majority of both audiences. You can support

371
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: us by supporting our fellow ballot Territory guys, so even

372
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: if it just feels dirty, I get it, but go ahead.

373
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 7: And do it for us.

374
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: It would be very much appreciated. I guess we could

375
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: keep going on the rest of the weekend. I know

376
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: we kind of mentioned the potential of the weather. Should

377
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: we talk about the weather for a second, because like,

378
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: it's really a chance to like ruin everything, and I

379
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: feel terrible about that, and I would I would even

380
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: if if the bridge had lost tonight, I would still

381
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: say the same thing. But there's a chance, like Thursday

382
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: might be a total washout with the way the projections

383
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: are and Wednesday if they don't get the game in

384
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: when it's supposed to start. We joked about it earlier,

385
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: but it William could be like a double header on Monday,

386
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: and nobody wants that, especially because even if it's the

387
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: team that wins it in that instance, if it's a

388
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: battle for one playoff spot, et cetera, they get to

389
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: I want to play on Tuesday in a three game

390
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: series when you just had to like go absolutely forgive this,

391
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: forgive this speech, balls to the wall on Monday and

392
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: a double header for your season and then play on

393
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: Tuesdays like nobody wants to do that on either side,

394
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm very sure. So, I mean, I'm not sure what

395
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: even the takeaway is other than just like pray for

396
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: no rain at least for one of these like gotta

397
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: get one of these two games in right once.

398
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're looking at what eighty one percent rain at

399
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 4: seven pm, ninety nine percent rain at eight o'clock, seventy

400
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 4: seven at ten ninety eleven for tomorrow. It doesn't sound

401
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 4: like we're playing baseball. You know, I went to school

402
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 4: in the South. It rains a little bit different down there,

403
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: and I think a hurricane might be a little bit

404
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 4: different than the normal rain we're used to during a

405
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 4: baseball game the occasional times. Doesn't seem like these games

406
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 4: are gonna happen, which is probably the worst that can

407
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 4: happen for the Mets right now, I think.

408
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 7: I don't know.

409
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 4: I hate the idea of the doubleheader on Monday, That

410
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 4: to me is taking a nightmare and just extending in

411
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 4: another week longer.

412
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 7: I don't want that.

413
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: There's also this weird question, now, what would each of

414
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 3: these teams do this weekend? Like are you holding back

415
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 3: some pay? Because I like, let's say the next schedule

416
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: started for the Mets is David Peers and then would

417
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 3: be Sean and Iya in the last game of this series?

418
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 3: Do you not pitch those guys on Friday because you

419
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 3: want both of them to pitch on Monday? Like how

420
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 3: do you handle us? And the Braves are supposed to

421
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 3: pitch Sale on Wednesday and then Max Free on Thursday?

422
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 5: Like how like this?

423
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 3: Both team still need to win the games that they'll

424
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 3: be playing, but then also the game against each other

425
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 3: could wind up being the most important and you're on

426
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 3: less time And I don't know where the Braves pitching

427
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: depth right now is. I know it's not tremendous. All

428
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 3: the injuries you guys had. The Mets isn't that great

429
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 3: either behind the five guys who've been pitching every fifth

430
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 3: day for them, And even that kind of gives me

431
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: some odd of that as well, So like where do

432
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 3: you how much do you hold back?

433
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 2: Then?

434
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 5: Are guys taking a full week off before they go

435
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 5: on the mound.

436
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 3: This would be a once in a lifetime thing for

437
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 3: all of these managers and players here to wait and

438
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 3: see how the strategy will be for a possible tie

439
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 3: breaking double.

440
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 6: Heather Well, the interesting thing for the Braves is that

441
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 6: they held Sale back for Tomorrow's games. So originally the

442
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 6: conversation in Braves Country was do you pitch Sale on

443
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 6: Tuesday tonight's game so that he can pitch on Sunday

444
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 6: in a Game one sixty two scenario where you needed

445
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 6: that game to win to make the playoffs. They didn't

446
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 6: do that. They held him back for Wednesday's game, which

447
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 6: is now interesting because if you have to play Monday,

448
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 6: that means Sale for the Braves would be available on

449
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 6: normal rest to pitch a Monday game. So you know,

450
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 6: the team and the manager and everybody in the organization.

451
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 6: Quite honestly, they caught a lot of flak for not

452
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 6: having Sale pitched tonight because now you know, obviously when

453
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 6: he pitches in this series, it's gonna be the last

454
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 6: time he pitches. And funny enough, if the season gets

455
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 6: extended to Monday, then that's not the case, then Sale

456
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 6: could very much pitch on Monday. So I think, listening

457
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 6: to you guys, my guess is the Braves are a

458
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 6: little better set up for that potential of having to

459
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 6: play on Monday because Sale would be available on regular

460
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 6: rest to do it. And also they have Ronaldo Lopez

461
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 6: who's supposed to come off the il Thursday, who could

462
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 6: also puttentially pitch a game. So if they had to

463
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 6: pitch both of those guys, say they had to play

464
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 6: double Hearon on Monday, which is obviously is the nightmr scenario,

465
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 6: they could potentially pitch both of those guys on Monday

466
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 6: on normal rest. So I think the Braves are probably

467
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 6: a little better set up for that eventuality than the

468
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 6: Mets are. But nobody wants. I mean, I have tickets

469
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 6: for tomorrow's game, so like, I really really don't want

470
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 6: that canceled, but the weather is just abysmal.

471
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fully opposite of the Mets because if we

472
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 3: play tomorrow but they get rained down on Thursday, then

473
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 3: you guys miss manayah. And if we play Monday, I'll

474
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 3: pitch on Friday, so you would wind up missing him completely.

475
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 3: So we'll get your best pitcher twice and you will

476
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 3: never see our best pitcher. So yeah, and the dirty

477
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 3: day nightmare scenario for the Mets.

478
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: And the dirty secret is the Braves I believe, even

479
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: including today, are five hundred when Chris Sale does not

480
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: pitch and twenty two and seven when he does for

481
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: the season, So essentially they are as average as could

482
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: be without Chris Sale, and pretty awesome when Chris Sale,

483
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: which is logical he's the say, young front runner, it's

484
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: like that that's a huge secret. They've been pretty pretty

485
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: mediocre when he's not pitching, and that's we referenced earlier

486
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: with Schwellenbach being so good today, and I'm sure Steve

487
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: and I weren't so trebly surprise. He's been nails for

488
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: most of this season. But still it was the biggest

489
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: start of his life and he goes out there, especially

490
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: given the mostly local controversy but still a local controversy

491
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: about not pitching Sales tonight. It makes you look a

492
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: lot better when your rookie goes out there and throws

493
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: seven to one run innings against a competent offense.

494
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 5: So, like, I don't know if.

495
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: Maybe the brands will be proven right. I actually candidly

496
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: didn't like it, and I said as much on the show.

497
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: If Sale was healthy, I would have pitched him today.

498
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: But it looks like that's going to work out, at

499
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: least for the short term. But I mean, the weather

500
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: talk is boring. It does matter. We had to do it.

501
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: We didn't want to talk about the weather, but It's

502
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: like it really, if it wasn't a hurricane, it wouldn't

503
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: be a story. But it's a hurricane, so here we are.

504
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: The one thing that would help with the weather is

505
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 4: that hopefully Francisco Lindoor would be able to then play

506
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 4: into out of the games in this series, because the

507
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 4: way that he looked walking in today. I caught a

508
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 4: lot of flak on Twitter for saying he looks stiff,

509
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 4: but he didn't even come in the game, so I

510
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 4: mean he might still be a little stiff. A back

511
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 4: injury serious at least, that's my silver lining. If they

512
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 4: were to play a doubleheader on Monday, Francisco Lindor, that's

513
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 4: the best chance he has to probably play the rest

514
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 4: of the year. Would be a game two games on Monday,

515
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 4: and they would arguably be the two most important games

516
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 4: of the series.

517
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 7: There's also like the weird thing.

518
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 4: Going on right now, and you mentioned like Schwellenbach being

519
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 4: picked for the Mets, and just like managerial decisions getting

520
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 4: undermined or talked about a little bit, Mendoza has been

521
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 4: a guy who's been moving people around so much today.

522
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 4: And I don't know if you guys know as much

523
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 4: as Braves fans, but US Mets fans seeing Starling Marte

524
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 4: hitting third, coming up twice with men on base, multiple

525
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,719
Speaker 4: men on base, and having some of the worst at

526
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 4: bats possible that we've seen really discouraging, especially because, like

527
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 4: we said, we had opportunities of time to get back

528
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 4: into this game and just kind of let it off

529
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 4: the hook.

530
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just doesn't really seem to make sense for

531
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 3: the mess perspective, but they continue to do it, not

532
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 3: only hitting him in prominent spots in the order consistently,

533
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 3: even though again he's played this year and not hit

534
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 3: for much power, we're not really hit well at all

535
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 3: in general recently, and then also continues to playing him

536
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 3: in the outfield. I understand that Jesse Winker is a

537
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 3: is a bit of an adventure in the outfield. You

538
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: don't want to play him there either. The Mets have

539
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 3: an embarrassment of riches that specifically designated hither but that

540
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 3: throw home from Marte in the third inning allowed the

541
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 3: Braves to get extra bases was ill advised. It wasn't

542
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 3: close to getting out Michael Harris, who has amazing speed

543
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 3: at home on that single that from Albi's was just

544
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 3: it was kind of a compounding of issues for Marte

545
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 3: like overall game as this game went on, play after play,

546
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 3: where again speaking from marketized perspective and other Mets fans

547
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 3: in their lives, like it just didn't really ever seem

548
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 3: like he was someone that was ready to make a

549
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 3: big impact in this game, and multiple times he's thrust

550
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 3: into being one of the most quintessential players in it.

551
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: What's that saying the ball finds you, the ball always

552
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: find like I mean, for a Braves fans perspective, sure,

553
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: people yelling at their at their phones right now listening

554
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: to us, it's been Orlando RCA for the Braves for

555
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: the last like two weeks, who's probably their worst hitter.

556
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: It was like every time they have a big, a

557
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 1: bad it's him, and he's been a disaster. So we

558
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: identify with you in solidarity on that one.

559
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 5: Suppose, at least I'll.

560
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 6: Say this about sever Reno. I didn't think he actually

561
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 6: pitched as bad like that one inning where he got

562
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 6: away from him. It was a swinging bunt by Orlando

563
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 6: that ended up as an error. I'm not even sure

564
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 6: the air was his fault. His catcher got in the

565
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 6: way as he was trying to throw it, and then

566
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 6: you know, Michael hit a rope double that was a

567
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 6: real hit. But then after that, like Ozzie had a

568
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 6: broken bat, little ground ball single, Loreano had a broken

569
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 6: back ground ball single. You know, he didn't get like crushed.

570
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 6: You know, Michael came back and hit the homer off

571
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 6: of after that. But I don't know, I didn't think

572
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 6: sever I thought Severino looked better and pitched better than

573
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 6: maybe his line is gonna end up. You know, it

574
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 6: looks like he gave up four runs and four innings

575
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,239
Speaker 6: and didn't pitch great. I will say the Braves did

576
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 6: a really good job of getting his pitch count up.

577
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 6: They laid off a lot of those sweepers, which to

578
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 6: me was the key to the game. The Braves have

579
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 6: so many right handed, right handed hitters in their lineup

580
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 6: that I was really worried about that sweeper. That fastball

581
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 6: sweeper combo just devastating them all night long. And they

582
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 6: were They were able to lay off it quite a

583
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 6: bit tonight, and he got his pitch gwnt up. He

584
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 6: was at like eighty something pitches in the fourth inning.

585
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 6: I thought that was I actually thought that was a

586
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 6: bigger key to the game than the couple the runs

587
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 6: the Braves scored, because again I don't think sever Reno

588
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 6: pitched as bad as maybe some of those hits made

589
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 6: it look.

590
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we kind of got a Spencer Strider

591
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 4: there a little bit. We got a couple couple of

592
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 4: soft hits that dropped like he didn't have his command.

593
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 4: And I'm sure James will give us some more numbers

594
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 4: here on, like his whiffs and stuff like that. But

595
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 4: like overall, wasn't a good start, but it also wasn't

596
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 4: a bad start, if that makes any sense.

597
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, this has kind of been the issue with sever Reno,

598
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 3: not the issue because he's had a tremendous season. He's

599
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 3: been one of the reasons, the main reason that's even

600
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 3: in this position. But I'm saying this to Mark and

601
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 3: on our show for a few weeks now, Severrino, just

602
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: as we got to this point in the season, has

603
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 3: no bag against the lefties. And I could feel immediately

604
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 3: in that first that bat of the game to Michael

605
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 3: Harris when it was he had him down one two immediately,

606
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 3: and it got to be like an eight to nine

607
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 3: pitch at bat, and it was just fastball after fastball

608
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 3: after fastball. He didn't rely seem to trust any of

609
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 3: his other pitches against the lefties, even threw one change

610
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 3: in this game, and overall, he only threw three pitches

611
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: that weren't forcing fastballs to lefties the entire game, and

612
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 3: two of those three came against Michael Harris. And one

613
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 3: of those three was a cover that Keith Hernandez lamented

614
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 3: on the broadcast, didn't cut it all, just spun right

615
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 3: up the top of his own and that was the

616
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: one Harris laced for the double for the first run

617
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 3: of the game. So while again it felt like Sevy

618
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 3: got babbitped a lot that that hit by Lariano, I'll

619
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 3: never I'll never comprehend to that ball made to the outfield,

620
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 3: rolling off his bat, kind of hitting it twice.

621
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 5: But in fact he's hit.

622
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, this happened the Mets Phillies game last weekend too,

623
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 3: and Citizens Bank Park, where by the time Severgno got

624
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 3: to his third that back against Bryce Harper, he just

625
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: he seemed to have nothing left. Harper homered off the

626
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 3: change up, throw one more change up the rest of

627
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 3: that game, and then he's just kind of stuck throwing

628
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 3: these fastballs over and over and over. Aag against the lefties,

629
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 3: and if you can't put those in precise spots against

630
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 3: this caliber of hitters, which he couldn't, and these others

631
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 3: are great. Eventually, guys are gonna ful pitches off like

632
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 3: Harris did over and over again. Olsen did too in

633
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 3: that first rally until you get that hit, and it's

634
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 3: just it was exactly what how it was exactly what

635
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 3: I was terrified of.

636
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, it was.

637
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 4: It was definitely not the best for Severino. Of course,

638
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 4: Michael Harris being one of those lefties you couldn't get out.

639
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 4: I'll let the Braves guys talk about him a little

640
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 4: bit more, but first we have another quick break.

641
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 7: We'll be right back.

642
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 9: You know what doesn't make sense. Nasal hygiene isn't often

643
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 9: part of our everyday routines, and it should be. Enter

661
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: So going into the break, we were listening you guys

662
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: talking about Michael Harrison so and Michael Harris. Other than

663
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: I guess you could argue Swallen back versus Harris as

664
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: to who was the hero of the game in this one.

665
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: They were probably one A and one B. But Michael

666
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: Harris has been basically out of his mind for about

667
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: two weeks and unfortunately for the Mets, that kind of

668
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: came to fruition in this one. He has five hovere

669
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: runs in the last seven games. He was three for

670
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: three tonight to open the game, and he had the

671
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: tastic diving catch in the fifth inning that was kind

672
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: of like a hat tip moment as the best guy

673
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: shake their head as I'm saying this, But no, I mean,

674
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: and look, the Braves have had this up and down,

675
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: weird season as far as like who's been hot, who's

676
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: not been and they're so banged up, all those things

677
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: that we talked about a number of times. But it's

678
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: been Matt Olson at at the forefront and Michael Harris

679
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: is now like basically being their second star the last

680
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I don't know what you've seen, Steve,

681
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: but it feels like that's a game changing thing for

682
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: Atlanta in the moment, and the timing of that is

683
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: obviously very nice considering how good.

684
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 7: He was tonight.

685
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, our fans will know. We've talked about this all

686
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 6: year that Matt Olsen is the key to this team

687
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 6: because they have so many right handed hitters and right

688
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 6: handed pitching can be a real problem for them. That's

689
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 6: why I was worried about Severino tonight because they're just

690
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 6: so right handed, and Matt Olsen has had an up

691
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 6: and down year. He's certainly not had the year he

692
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 6: had last year, but he's been red hot for about

693
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 6: two months and then Michael Harris has been red hot

694
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 6: for about two weeks now, and those being the two

695
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 6: basically only two lefties in the Braves lineup, those guys

696
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 6: are critical against guys like Savarina. Like you said, guys

697
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 6: like him have trouble with lefties, but the Braves just

698
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 6: don't have a ton of lefties. You know, Jared Kelnick

699
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 6: has had a really disappointing second half. He's basically been

700
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 6: benched for Ramon Loriano, who's a right hander. So the

701
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 6: only two lefties the Braves had. Ozzy Obviy's is back,

702
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 6: but he's only betting right handed, So literally, the only

703
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 6: two lefties the Braves have are Michael Harris and Matt Olsen.

704
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 6: So when they play a guy like Severino, who who

705
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,959
Speaker 6: can struggle with lefties, at the time, they're critical, and

706
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 6: tonight I thought they were, you know, I thought they

707
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 6: had some of the best at bats in the game,

708
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 6: Michael Harris specifically. You know, when those those two guys go,

709
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 6: And again, the people that listen to our show, we

710
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 6: talked about this all year, especially Matt Olsen, when those

711
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 6: guys go, the Braves are just so much more balanced.

712
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 6: They can hit righty's as well as they hit lefties,

713
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 6: and tonight was you know, tonight was a perfect example

714
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 6: of that. Olsen and Harris both put up grade at

715
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 6: bat after great at bat. Even though even though Olsen

716
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 6: only had one hit, he had a walk. He was

717
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 6: in three two counts all night. It's part of getting

718
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 6: Severino's pitch count up. Like those two guys had the

719
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 6: best at bats of the night. And when that's the

720
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 6: case for the Braves, they their their lineup goes to

721
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 6: a different level.

722
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's crazy.

723
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: One of the reasons to watch on the go Ahead,

724
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, one of the reasons to watch

725
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: on YouTube is to get the reaction that you guys

726
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: had to Jered Kelnick's name being messed on the podcast.

727
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: If you if you were only listening, you should be.

728
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: You should just to see what the mesa.

729
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 5: It was incredible.

730
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 7: Yeah.

731
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 4: No, uh, definitely not approach accounting podcast over here. And

732
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 4: I'm still waiting for him to hurt us, like he

733
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 4: hasn't heard us yet. I'm waiting for it. It's gonna

734
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 4: happen at some point in our lifetime. He's gonna do

735
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 4: something that is unforgivable as a Mets fan, But yeah,

736
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 4: it's just like annoying too, because really, like the bottom

737
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 4: of the order got a couple of hits, they got

738
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 4: on base a couple of times, but it was frustrating

739
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 4: to be beat by the top of the order when

740
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 4: we know that's the only thing that can really hurt us,

741
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 4: like Giovanni Orschell, like these guys may have moments for

742
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 4: the Braves, but to not be able to get Giovanni

743
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 4: Orchell and Ramon Loreano and Orlando Arcia out as easy

744
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 4: as they should be for the quality of player they

745
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 4: are as compared to the top of the order. It

746
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 4: was just like such a frustrating game to watch from

747
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 4: the Mets fans side, And I know, like the conversation

748
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 4: is gonna be it's happening again. The Mets are doing

749
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 4: it again, like it's it's all starting to snowball, and

750
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 4: it feels like it's so much on our shoulders right now.

751
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 4: But the same time, like I gotta say, it just

752
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 4: felt like the Mets had to hit, Like at the

753
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 4: end of the day, as bad as things could have

754
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 4: been on the pitching side, you just have to hit,

755
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 4: and the bats simply didn't show up.

756
00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 7: I just hope they do. They've been so great.

757
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 4: It would be like ridiculous for Mets fans us anyone

758
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 4: in general to just count this team out right now

759
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 4: because the Bats had one off night when they've been

760
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 4: putting up numbers against all these other teams all year long.

761
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 3: Totally, that's that's just the drama of Mets fans, Like

762
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: we came on here dooman gloom the beginning, but by

763
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,239
Speaker 3: the time tomorrow rolls around, when I wake up, I'm

764
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 3: be fully ready to die back in again. And of

765
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: all the hope in the world, it's just the little

766
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 3: bit of frustration war. It's his war. It's only just

767
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: because you lose the bows does not mean you lose

768
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 3: the wars. That's a famous setting back there. But it

769
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 3: was a little bit of the fact that this team

770
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 3: just wasn't necessarily sharp at times, like when that miss

771
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 3: that ball was misplayed by the combination of Alvarez Severino,

772
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 3: really just Alvarez getting in Louis Aeverregno's way on that

773
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 3: Orlando Arcia dribbler that starts spurning the rally in the

774
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 3: third inning. It was just like, oh, man, like this

775
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 3: defense has been so good for weeks now, I think

776
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 3: that's been one of the mets under unheralded calling cards.

777
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 3: This amazing hot few months have been on has been defense,

778
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 3: which is always a huge backbone of David Stearn's Milwaukee

779
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 3: teams back in the day. So the fact that there

780
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 3: was that misplay and then the flood gates immediately opened

781
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 3: and there were the ree strain that bats were guy

782
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 3: reached second base and there was not an out record.

783
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 3: You're like, okay, this is something that was just hasn't

784
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 3: hasn't happened yet, and then you guys make Smarrios on

785
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 3: the other side, Orlando Orcia misplayed a few balls and

786
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 3: both times the Mess just couldn't seem to get that

787
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 3: big hit to do anything about it, and it was

788
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 3: Pilanzo once again in a game not getting a big hit.

789
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 5: This year we talked about Marte before.

790
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 3: Jesse Winger did not have very many good at that

791
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 3: today and we kind of needed him as a guy

792
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 3: like schwellingback just again just ran through us like a

793
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 3: hot knife, hot knife through brother and just oh, it's

794
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 3: just there was so many little moments the Mess could

795
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 3: have gone back in the game and we just couldn't

796
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 3: get you guys to even break that sweat, even have

797
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 3: that little bit of stress that you can carry the

798
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 3: momentum into the next day.

799
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 5: And that was what continue to frustrate me so badly.

800
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: It does seem to come out like when that that

801
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: little moment of stress is the way you It's great

802
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: that you put it that way, because it didn't really

803
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: happen like they were. It was like one little thing

804
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: away from that happening in this game. Once the lead

805
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: was built it you never had that panic moment. You

806
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: never had that that one played appearance where it's like,

807
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: all right, this might be the game right here. Because

808
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: the lead was semi comfortable, it Braves attack on probably

809
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: timely all the way through, and yeah, the Mets got

810
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: went across, but it was already five to nothing. You're

811
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: still within four and the bravest bullpen has been knocked

812
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: on wood lights out this year, So it didn't feel

813
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: that nervy in the moment. But there, you're right, there's

814
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: there were several times where it was maybe one at

815
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: that one misplay away from getting interesting in a way

816
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: that we didn't want it to be on our side

817
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: of things. But obviously the Mets would have been probably

818
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: feeling because they have been playing so well for so long.

819
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure there is an inherent confidence in that clubhouse

820
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: right now that like, hey, we're losing, we're winning every

821
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: night basically, and there's some of that just vibe that

822
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: could kind of settle in, which is why I was

823
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: so big the brain struck first and led this one

824
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: to kind of not give them that extra fuel that

825
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure they already have kind of deep down for

826
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: how it happened.

827
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 6: Been Yeah, And I'll say this like I was. I

828
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 6: was obviously been doing a lot of research about the Mets,

829
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 6: knowing that we were going to do this show. And

830
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 6: if you told me that the Mets were going to

831
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 6: have the year that they're having and you just said,

832
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 6: how is it going to happen? I would have told

833
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 6: you that Pete Alonso went nuts for a year, and

834
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 6: a Martinez went nuts for a year, and Lindor went nuts,

835
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 6: and Brandon Nemo went nuts, and you actually like and

836
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 6: like Francisco Alvarez, I would have assumed he was having

837
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 6: just a monster season, and you actually look at like

838
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 6: what's happened. It's been very different than I would have expected.

839
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 6: Like Jad Martinez has had a very average year. Pete Alonzo,

840
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 6: by here standards, has had a very average year. Francisco Alvarez,

841
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 6: I think it's had a pretty average year. It's been

842
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 6: guys like Vientto's obviously, Lindor is incredible, you know, the

843
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 6: pitching come out of nowhere to be awesome. Like, it's

844
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 6: been much different. I don't know how Mets fans feel.

845
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 6: I'll be interest to hear y'all's perspective. But when I

846
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 6: was doing the research of the team for the year,

847
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 6: how good you guys have been. The how it's actually

848
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 6: you know, how it's actually played out has been very

849
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 6: different than I would have guessed if you asked me

850
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 6: in March. You know, if this team was going to

851
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 6: be a playoff team, how it was going to happen.

852
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 6: I don't think I would have picked how it's happened

853
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 6: so far in twenty twenty four.

854
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think what's been really great about this Mets team,

855
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 4: And again just a reassuring thing for the gloom and

856
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 4: doom Mets fans out there that may be listening to

857
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 4: this in our massachiser, Like, let me hear forty five

858
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 4: minutes about how we just lost to the Braves after

859
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 4: I just watched that game. The team has stepped Like

860
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 4: we said earlier, guys have stepped up to different points, Like

861
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 4: brand Nemo had a point this year where at the

862
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 4: All Star Break thought I should have made the team.

863
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 4: He went absolutely nuclear he was discussing Pete A. Lonzo's

864
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 4: had some big moments where he's gotten hot. A couple

865
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 4: of weeks ago he was on fire. Alvarez, like even

866
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 4: Luis an hell Acunya stepping up this last week for

867
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 4: In Francisco, Lindor's absence has been so huge it's just

868
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 4: about now, who's gonna be next? Can they do this

869
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 4: all together? We really only got like a week or two.

870
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 4: It feels like of where the entire lineup was just

871
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 4: so hot when we were playing the Rangers and we

872
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 4: had a little bit that West Coast trip where they

873
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 4: were just swinging the bats so well. But as a whole,

874
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 4: it hasn't happened yet, and guys like Jade Martinez Jesse

875
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 4: Winker has been a little bit cold. It feels like

876
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 4: the last few days need those guys to really step

877
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 4: up if we want a chance to end the Braves

878
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 4: series season this week. If those games even get played

879
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 4: and it also felt like maybe this was the first

880
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 4: time since the indoor injury that it felt like we

881
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 4: actually physically missed him.

882
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, and another big thing is that JD Martinez, going

883
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 3: completely invisible over the last two weeks, is now in

884
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 3: a game like this where Stolling Marte hits third and

885
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,919
Speaker 3: fails in multiple key spots. That's where you can feel

886
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 3: a detriment a tweet when like semi Viral and metz

887
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 3: Twiler yesterday that show the Daniel Vogelback and JD Martinez

888
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 3: side by side and then one few were at bat

889
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 3: as Mets, Daniel Vogelback had a higher batting average, higher

890
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 3: on base percentage, and a higher stlucking percentage than JD

891
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 3: Martinez has done this year. So while JD's had some

892
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 3: amazing moments and his impact on this team I think

893
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 3: has been tremendous pass what he's done on the field,

894
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 3: his tutelage of Mark Fiento's mainly sticking out. It just

895
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 3: him disappearing when they really need the most. Oh for

896
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 3: his last thirty two or thirty three at this point

897
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: is bad, and you feel that trickled down because then

898
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 3: this Mets line just gets a little bit shorter, and

899
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 3: when the Mets line doesn't get shorter because Carls Mendez

900
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 3: is very reactionary. He likes to flip guys around all

901
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 3: the time. If you get these like kind of dips

902
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 3: instead of this like okay, after the seven hit there,

903
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 3: everything falls off like what most teams wind up as.

904
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 3: Now you have a situation where again, like in a

905
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 3: game for the Mets, they're two, three, four, and five hitters,

906
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 3: zero hits, like you just can't have that.

907
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 5: And then you.

908
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 3: Get these little pieces of news about Lendois's little crumbs

909
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 3: left by the beat report. There's about Lindor's running, Lindor's

910
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 3: taking batting practice more aggressively. Then there was that bizarre

911
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 3: tweet from Steve Gelbs, like the fifth inning, when it

912
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 3: was five to nothing, Lindor has emerged from the clubhouse

913
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 3: wearing cleats instead of sneakers, Like what is this? Is

914
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 3: this a fairy tale character that's going on? And then

915
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 3: you look on the other side and you see the Braves.

916
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 3: We're two hours before this game, they announced that their

917
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 3: best player that could have possibly returned this year, Austin Riley,

918
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 3: was officially out. The hand wasn't healing the right way,

919
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 3: and it's just like we the Mets kind of kind

920
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 3: of push themselves, motivate themselves more in these little emotional things,

921
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 3: more in like the power of friendship, like Mark and

922
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 3: I say, sometimes more in these like fun, happy dancy

923
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 3: vibes where the Braves get the worst piece of news

924
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 3: they've gotten in a month and then they're just like

925
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 3: full steam ahead, let's beat the other team.

926
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 6: Well, and I'll say this that Braves fan I think

927
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 6: are pretty hardened to bad news at this point this year.

928
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 6: Like we wanted, we wanted Riley to come back, and

929
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 6: there was a there was certainly a hope that he could,

930
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,959
Speaker 6: but in an honest moment, I don't think many Brace

931
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 6: fans actually expected him to be back. I mean, it

932
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 6: would have been fantastic, But like when I saw the

933
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 6: news today and Brad, I'll let Brad talk about this too.

934
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 6: When I saw the news today, I was like, yeah,

935
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 6: I mean, that's kind of that's just kind of what

936
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 6: I thought it. It wasn't like a crushing blow, you know,

937
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 6: when we got the news at first that he had

938
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 6: broken the wrists or the hammer or whatever it is.

939
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 6: That was the crushing blow. The idea that he is

940
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 6: not going to come back now. You know, what you

941
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 6: guys are dealing with with Lindor is more of a

942
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 6: daily drama than what we're dealing with with Riley, at

943
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 6: least my perspective, because for me, like Riley, I've just

944
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 6: kind of counted him out for most of the for

945
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 6: the rest of the year anyways, and if he came back, great,

946
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 6: But you know, obviously with Lindor, it's it's it's it's

947
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 6: just completely up in the air every day. You guys

948
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 6: have no idea what it's going to be.

949
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, if we had done our regular Braves only shows

950
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: and I we would have spent fifteen minutes on Riley probably,

951
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: and it is what it is. But you're right that

952
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: it did seem like we were all holding our breath.

953
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: But it was like, maybe he can come back at

954
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: the earliest for the Royal Series and be maybe diminished

955
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. It was like we were holding out

956
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: for Austin Rally to be Austin Riley at all Capitol letters.

957
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: He's been out for so long and there was the

958
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: expectation it was like going to be close the whole time.

959
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: So it's not as gut punchy as any of the

960
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: other injuries have been the big ones. But yeah, as

961
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: Lindor is about to come back, and look, I'm obviously

962
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: it would be easier for the Braves to win if

963
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: Lenond didn't play. I love Lindor Rocks. I mean, it's

964
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: not popular to say that he's awesome, like he's very

965
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: very good. If he wants to come back on Friday,

966
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: that's probably better for the Braves. But alas, we'll all right,

967
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: we'll have more to kind of spin forward on the

968
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: rest of this series, provided it happens on time, as

969
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: we teased earlier. But first it word from our guys

970

Speaker 10: below the belt, and that's why FT trusts Manscaped for

Speaker 7: And we're back, all right.

992
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 4: We actually just got some news coming out of the

993
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 4: break from Mets Beat reporter friend of the podcast over

994
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 4: here at Mets Stuff, Tim Healy, and it's about the

995
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 4: game tomorrow, which I guess that's a great way for

996
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 4: us to end here as well. Good timing on that, Tim,

997
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 4: Carlosbindoza said. David Stearns hasn't heard anything regarding changes for

998
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 4: Mets Braves tomorrow. Sounds like they'll just show up like normal.

999
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 4: Hope to get the game in a schedule, Steve, And

1000
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 4: it sounds like you are going to be sitting in

1001
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 4: the rain tomorrow waiting for this game to never happen.

1002
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 6: That's right, poncho season, Like Brad says, poncho season.

1003
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 7: But I was looking at weather.

1004
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 3: I was looking at weather reports today and there was

1005
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 3: a line that I tweeted from ACU weather that's a

1006
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 3: potential for life threatening flooding. Have you guys, like just

1007
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 3: living in the Atlanta area taken any precautions for what

1008
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 3: could be allegedly be this kind of cataclysmic grainstorm ahead?

1009
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that that sounds stronger than I would have thought.

1010
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: But I did see that tweet from you. I had

1011
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: a bit of a chuckle and more of that like

1012
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: nervous chuckle. You know, it's like, all right, hopefully not

1013
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: life threatening for not always Steven who will be in

1014
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: the building, but even for me at home. I don't

1015
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 1: really want to deal with life threading flooding in my life.

1016
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean we I think we're in agreement.

1017
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: It seems like that it's probably not gonna happen tomorrow.

1018
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: Should we talk about the game as if it's going

1019
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: to happen? Should we preview? Chris Sale and David Peters,

1020
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: I don't know, do you want to talk about the

1021
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: matchup at all? Or it's like just kind of put it, the.

1022
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 4: Side Braves have the advantage Chris Sales better than David Peterson.

1023
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 9: That is, that is accurate.

1024
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 6: Chris.

1025
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: Chris Sale is pretty good. Chris Sale is the so

1026
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: young front runner for a reason. And by the way,

1027
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: an extra day of rest. He didn't look his one

1028
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: hundred percent best self in his last start, which I

1029
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: think we probably understand was the reason he didn't pitch today,

1030
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: is that they wanted to give him a extra day

1031
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: to kind of get it together. And you know, he's old,

1032
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: he has a pitches spanning, he's in a long time.

1033
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: But I say that every time he's had a little

1034
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: bit of like a misstep this year, the next start's

1035
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: been absolutely lights out. So if this game happens, I

1036
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: expected to be good. Maybe it'll be a three to

1037
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: two game, and we'll see which way that goes. But I,

1038
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier, the brains has been awesome when

1039
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: he pitches, and that's not only because of him, but

1040
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: it's mostly.

1041
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 4: Listen over here on the Messed Up Podcast, we like

1042
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 4: to say the Braves have voodoo magic. I don't know

1043
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 4: what Anthopolis does over there. As a fellow Greek guy myself,

1044
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 4: I know my Yaya had some powers that I haven't

1045
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 4: gotten passed down to me yet, but maybe he can

1046
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 4: just push the rain clouds away a little bit, get

1047
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,959
Speaker 4: these games in because I again, I can't wait until

1048
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 4: Monday for the rest of these games.

1049
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 7: I can't do.

1050
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 3: Waiting until seven twenty. Tonight was horrible, just fester all day.

1051
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: None of us want Monday. Nobody wants Monday on either team,

1052
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 1: either podcast, either fan base. No one wants to deal

1053
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: with Monday with Basically, you know it may not be

1054
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: winner take all by then there's a chance it gets

1055
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: settled before Monday if that happens. But we all know

1056
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. If it happens on Monday, it's gonna

1057
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: mean everything. It's gonna be the whole season on Monday.

1058
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: If that's what happens, we all know it.

1059
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 6: I will Mentionine, I will say this, the Diamondbacks, like

1060
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 6: the diamond Backs could just the diamond Backs could just

1061
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,240
Speaker 6: wet the bed all week.

1062
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: That's why I brought it up. And it may it

1063
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: may not matter on Monday.

1064
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 4: Maybe you guys are nice guys, but I don't want

1065
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 4: the Braves to make the playoffs. So I'm hoping it's

1066
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:54,720
Speaker 4: the Diamondbacks.

1067
00:43:54,840 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 6: I understand, I understand as long as so yeah, so

1068
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 6: that could happen. Like these games might not matter. I mean,

1069
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 6: they probably will because that's how it goes. But there's

1070
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 6: a chance, like the Diamondbacks have not been playing well,

1071
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 6: Like they got that horrible loss on Sunday, they lost

1072
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 6: last night, they got Logan Web tonight.

1073
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: I don't mean that, I don't I don't mean to

1074
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: go live spoil, but they if you guys haven't seen,

1075
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: they're currently down seven to nothing in the third inning.

1076
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: Now that may change. They just they just blew it.

1077
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: Ate nothing lead.

1078
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 9: Was that yesterday?

1079
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1080
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 1: Ate nothing lead? Or yesterday or Sunday one of those games,

1081
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: So nothing's safe. But they're not seving nothing in the

1082
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 1: third ending right now as we're talking.

1083
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, just have to shut out Mets legend

1084
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 3: Michael Confour though the four hundred and twenty five foot

1085
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 3: home run for the second time and two nights against

1086
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 3: the Diamondbacks to push this ahead. But there's a chance

1087
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 3: to have all four of these teams over Like a

1088
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 3: very minuscule two week sample, it seems like that Diamondbacks

1089
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 3: team might be playing relatively the worst ball so yeah,

1090
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 3: maybe the series winds up being nothing, but I think

1091
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 3: that even the series winds up being nothing, there's something

1092
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 3: inside of all the Mets fans right now, and I'm

1093
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 3: sure all of the Mets players where you won't really

1094
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 3: feel that satisfied unless you get over this hump and

1095
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 3: can beat this Braves team, because there's no there's almost

1096
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 3: there's no joy in victory without it, even if you

1097
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 3: make the playoffs and lose these games.

1098
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean I know us as Mets fans,

1099
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 4: we definitely have a different perspective these next couple of

1100
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 4: games coming up here. Me and James are not typically

1101
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 4: gloom and doom Mets fans. I don't think we even

1102
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 4: are right now. I think we're gonna be completely fine

1103
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 4: as soon as we stop finishing recording this and wake

1104
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 4: up tomorrow morning and it's whatever is going on in

1105
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 4: New York City. But yeah, I mean, this has been

1106
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 4: a really good crossover episode with Hamburg Territory and Mets up.

1107
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 7: We want to know your guys' final thoughts.

1108
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 4: How how high, how much better do you guys feel

1109
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 4: after seeing tonight's game as opposed to coming into tonight.

1110
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: I'll go first, I think that obviously, just the sheer

1111
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: math of that you got. You gotta feel much better,

1112
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: especially with sale wind up the next day whenever that happens.

1113
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: At the same time, my rational brain, I'm a little

1114
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: bit more of a pessimistic doomsday er than some the

1115
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: brains are still behind in this. In this not in

1116
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: the series and the overall picture of things. They still

1117
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,479
Speaker 1: have to win at least one of the next two,

1118
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 1: and even if they win one of the next two,

1119
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: they're still gonna behind the Mets. So the pressures in

1120
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: my mind still Like we start this conversation, I think

1121
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: that there's the pressure is still on the Braves. It's

1122
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 1: maybe lessened by the win today. They don't now have

1123
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: to be perfect the next two days, but they do

1124
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: have to at least get one, and preferably by all accounts,

1125
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: they got to get both. So I feel better, but

1126
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 1: I don't feel good, if that makes sense.

1127
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, I never feel good about anything. I mean, I'm

1128
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 6: gonna nuts.

1129
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 2: That does sound like Steven Yeah, unbelievable, But like, if

1130
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 2: you've like what we've gone through in the postseason the

1131
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 2: last couple of years, just getting dog walked by the

1132
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 2: Phillies two times in a row off teams.

1133
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,240
Speaker 6: The Falcons are the Falcons, the Hawks are like fans.

1134
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 7: Oh so sorry for.

1135
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, there is a level of always kind of dread,

1136
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 6: and that's what Brad's talking about a little bit about.

1137
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 6: You know, he's always kind of not always, but we're

1138
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 6: we're both a little bit more pessimistic than some. But

1139
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 6: I do feel better.

1140
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 7: I mean, once the.

1141
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 6: Game was over, I felt better, of course, having sail tomorrow.

1142
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 6: I mean, if the game gets played. We don't know

1143
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 6: if the game is gonna get played, but having sail

1144
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 6: tomorrow is probably what I feel most comfortable about, just

1145
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 6: because he's he's Chris Sale. He's gonna win the side

1146
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 6: young like, you know, the Braves just play extremely well

1147
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 6: when he pitches, so I feel great about that whenever

1148
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 6: that game gets played. Yeah, I guess I probably. I

1149
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 6: guess we probably are feel a lot better than you guys.

1150
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 6: You guys are obviously dealing with some demons from the

1151
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 6: past for coming to the truest park and losing games

1152
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 6: that the Braves fans don't have to deal with. So yeah, well,

1153
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 6: I mean after this win and night having sailed tomorrow,

1154
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 6: I think we're definitely feeling better than you guys are

1155
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 6: at the moment.

1156
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, just wondering, now, how many consecutive division titles does

1157
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 3: a fan base need to feel to be confident? Because

1158
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 3: is it seventeen? Is it eighteen?

1159
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 9: Like?

1160
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 3: What actually had to have happened your guys' lifetime streaks

1161
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 3: over Now from this perspective, I can't even comprehend the

1162
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 3: things that you're saying of not feeling.

1163
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 7: Mets fans were different kind of stick in the head.

1164
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:16,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, but understand have had so many postseason blow ups like, oh.

1165
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 5: No, we make the playoffs every year and don't win

1166
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 5: the World Series.

1167
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 7: You know what, I like you, guys.
