1
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean, yours wasn't as crispy as mine, but this

2
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: was crispy. Mine was crisp. The boys are cracking open

3
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: beers because it's time to get real about this New

4
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: York Mets team. It's a great run. Season's over. I mean,

5
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: this team is so cooked.

6
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: What a horrible, horrible series.

7
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: I can't believe that they made me believe even for

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: a second.

9
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: After that game on Tuesday, I was like, oh shit,

10
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: we are so back.

11
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: The Mets are hitting, things are looking good. You were

12
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: at the game, you said the vibes were amazing. We'll

00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: talk more in detail about this. This is my long intro.

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: As always, I can't believe I believe for a second

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: they were back. This team is cooked. We'll talk about

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: it again. Not being whiny. No more whining for me said,

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: no more winding the rest of the season. But we

Speaker 2: all the way back in, but very far back in.

37
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: After Tuesday, the stadium was amazing, got super swept up

38
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: in everything with Pete just breaking that record, just having

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: an amazing game one through nine of the lineup hitting

40
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: literally every single player except Jeff McNeil got to base

41
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: it in that game. Shout out my buddy, Luke Biggs,

42
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: Jeff McNeil, fan of the world. In the ballpark on Tuesday.

43
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: All you want to do is Jempanill get a hit.

44
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: Couldn't see it also there my friends Connor sucks Billy.

45
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: I was just it was a great night at the ballpark.

46
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: Everyone's feeling good, having a fun time like you were.

47
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: That was the kind of game where you high five

48
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: peoples in your section. You guys just talk about all

49
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: this like it was. It felt like literally letting the

50
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: demons out. But we didn't realize how strong and powerful

51
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: the demons are that taken over this team over the

52
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: last six weeks or so, because they came right back

53
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: and just the way they long. I mean, Thursday was

54
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: just a bad game by a bad team, Like uncomfortable

55
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: saying that. The Wednesday situation where you can bombar tee

56
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 2: off completely a viscerate, probably end Carlos Carrasco's career over

57
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: the first two winnings of that game, and then totally

58
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: just shut down David Pearce and the only reliable starting

59
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: pitcher in this team falls apart. Rig Guerrett, one of

60
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: the most reliable relievers in this team, completely implodes, and

61
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: you show no signs of life against the Landa Brey's bullpen.

62
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: That's one of the worst units in all of Major

63
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: League Baseball. So just put all that together and like

64
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: you said this team feels completely cooked right now.

65
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're we're not gonna talk about the good game, right, Like,

66
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: congrats the Pete way to break the record.

67
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: That was cool. It was nice that it happened off

68
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: of Stryither too. It was cool that it was also

69
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: the like the game plan that we gave on Sunday,

70
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 2: it actually came true. That was the anti drinks. It

71
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: was like, he's going to throw you fast balls and

72
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 2: zone you have to hit them. I lead over my

73
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: buddy Connor during right before the Nimo home run in

74
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: the fourth or fifth ady, whenever that came, I was like,

75
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: if Strilier throws a ball like ninety five, watch the

76
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: ninety five through ninety four to six. I was like,

77
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: Nimo's getting around this a bad third time. See one

78
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: hundred pcent getting around and he hit them running. He's like,

79
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: you were right, you nailed that one. But it's just

80
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: also shoutout justin Ageman. He looked quite good, looked better

81
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: than most other pitchers and the forty men roster. So

82
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: I have to say that and again just move on

83
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: to misery. Nope, congratulates Pilanzo. It's nice that Alonzo, no

84
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: matter what happens over the next few months, because I

85
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: want to do a little media marvel at the end

86
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: of his two best situations, like that, p Alanzo's name

87
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: is etched in the mes record books for good.

88
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: Also shout out Francisco Alvarez two home runs. I know

89
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: he didn't play well the next game, but he's totally back.

90
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: I'm so bought in on him at least.

91
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's that. I guess let's prep bring in

92
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: the conversation as to the bad games, because let's just

93
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: do an erring of grievouses. But everything that went wrong

94
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: this is such a minor one. It's crazy that this

95
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: one's going to come up only a few minutes too

96
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: the podcast. I was pissy that we pinched his darling

97
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: Marte for the Luis Terrenz and then broferences squalber Is

98
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: into the game to catch in a one round game,

99
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: to burn Alvarez just to catch, to come up all

100
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: the way back up seven guys down the order for singles.

101
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: Hither I was like, why are we doing this?

102
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 1: Do you think I'll side with Mendoza just be Devil's

103
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: advocate on this one. Sorry, Marte has been hitting well,

104
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: so you need to get on bass, especially with how

105
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: the Mets play. We love singles, so we need someone

106
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: on base so we can get two singles to drive

107
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: them in.

108
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: We know that's the case. Home runs don't want that singles.

109
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: Do you think that Mendoza would have pinched ran Tyrone

110
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: Taylor for slring Mortey or you think that he liked

111
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Morte as well because Marte so fast.

112
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: I think he definitely would have pinch Ran. So there

113
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: was a chance that we could have burned three of

114
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 2: the four players on the bench with one move. For

115
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: that one move, the max upside was like any a

116
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 2: guy in second base, Okay, my turn, My turn to

117
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 2: Eric Grievance, Right right, go Grievance.

118
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: David Peterson, Man, that was fucking horrible, dude, that was like,

119
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: that was pro I'm twenty twenty twenty one, David Peterson.

120
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 1: Where it's like, this guy has no dog, this guy's

121
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: got nothing. You text me that the way that he

122
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: pitched made you worry that his hip is broken again,

123
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: like that he's got an issue because he was so

124
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: bad and he's been incredible this year. And this is

125
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: not a detriment to David Pearson as a player in

126
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 1: what he's done this year, but in a game arguably

127
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: where the Mets needed him badly to go five six

128
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 1: innings in a game where you have six run lead,

129
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: to not be able to throw any strikes to the

130
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: Braves lineup who they're not actively trying to win games.

131
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: They're playing Nacho Alvarez and Nick Allen and Vidal Bruhan

132
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: and these awful, awful players. You're being given outs to

133
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: not be able to even go five innings or maintain

134
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: the lead after three is crazy. He completely imploded. And

135
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: as much as I've loved David Pearson the strides he

136
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: took forward this year, that was a moment that made

137
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: me kind of remember.

138
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 2: That he is still David Peterson. He is not an

139
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: ace in the rotation, which is still fine. Like it's fine.

140
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: The most important part of life as being yourself, Like

141
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: you know what David Peterson is. David Peters has become

142
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: a very I just solid, trustworthy middle rotation guy. I

143
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: was feeling tingly with him.

144
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, is he just gonna

145
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: be like this weird, boring guy that's not actually an

146
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: ace but just does it for a while.

147
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: Sure, but you can't be that. But those guys always

148
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: kind of go up and down with their command, and

149
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: we know that for Peterson to a lesser degree for

150
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 2: his whole career. But command selfish goes up and down,

151
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: especially when a guy like Peterson, you see him lose

152
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: everything in the span of a moment. So when that

153
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: fourth inning started that implosion, he walked Sean Murphy on

154
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: four pitches, the last of which was a sinker that

155
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: was two feet to the arm side missing where I

156
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: was like, oh, something looks wrong, and he looked pissed,

157
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: like he was staring up, he was looking around and

158
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: was like there was something clearly wrong. So he let

159
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: himself like the old David Peterson twenty twenty three, David

160
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: Pearson twenty twenty one, David Peterson get back into his

161
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: own head because then he walked Seawn Murphy on four pitches,

162
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: Michael Harrison a single, because Michael Harrison is the greatest

163
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: center upside of the Earth. So the last thirty days,

164
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: so that was no ps over the last thirty days.

165
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 2: It's incredible. The problem is, though, and the same thing

166
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: happens in the game before, because when Clay Holmes also

167
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: was blowing that game on Tuesday, but the offense came

168
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 2: back and fought back in that one. It happened because

169
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: he walked this bottom of the Braves oiler. The bottom

170
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: of this Braves oiler is as bad as the bottom

171
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: of any order that exists in baseball right now.

172
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how many Triple A teams these guys

173
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: start on like there's there's significantly better in Triple A

174
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: players in every organization than the guys that are here

175
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: for the Braves. The only thing that Nick Allen does,

176
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: which he does exceptionally well, he's a great defensive shorts.

177
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: He's really really good out there.

178
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: But hitting wise, I don't know how much harder he

179
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: hits the ball than mirror you right now.

180
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: And then exactly in that same fourth inning on Tuesday,

181
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: Clay Holmes walks v Bruhanan has been on He's been

182
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: by the four major league organizations. He's never hit for

183
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: a second, dude. He's been on the Braves, the Orioles,

184
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: the Cups, and he was on one more Marlins.

185
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was on the Marlins to start the year.

186
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: He's been on four organizations. I was telling my dad,

187
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: was like, he's good enough to be there, not good

188
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 1: enough to stay.

189
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: He's like the ultimate replacement player. He's bad. So then

190
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: when he called walks in, gives up that poke double

191
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: and not Chualvarez and then walks Nick Allen and that

192
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 2: opens the door for the profile. Then eventually the double

193
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: that kind of chase clomes from the game. Again, the

194
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: offense covered up all those mistakes. The only wide upside.

195
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: Dave Peuchen did the exact same thing where he walks

196
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: not Chualvarez on four pitches to load the bases and

197
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: then walks Nick Allen with the bases loaded again. That

198
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: at that ends on a sinker that misses to an

199
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: arm side. That's absolutely no, we're close to the plate

200
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: a three to two pitch when he was up oh two.

201
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: By the way, a ninth hitter. Nick Allen probably pound

202
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 2: four pound, the worst hitter in baseball the season. It's

203
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: going to get four hundred play appearances. I got a

204
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: question for you.

205
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, how many barrels does Nick Allen have on the season.

206
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: None, that'd be zero. He does not have a bear.

207
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 2: His max exivilo this year is one hundred and four

208
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: point four. It's not very high. It's really the bat Bros.

209
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 2: On YouTube. He hits the ball significantly harder.

210
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: There are guys I think in our softball league, Nick

211
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: Allen might not be the best hitter, especially in the

212
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: Puerto Rican softball League. I think there's no shot he's

213
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: the best player on that field.

214
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: No, it's not even close. So I think those those

215
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: guys would make fun of Nick Allen if then they'd

216
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 2: wind up being very impressed by his defense.

217
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: But you'd play great shortstop. They'd be like, wow, there's

218
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: your value. But you can't hit the ball out of

219
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: the fence at certain berg Park.

220
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 2: No, he did six on one of those teams. But

221
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: then again, for for some somehow, some way, in back

222
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: to back days, you let the eight and nine hitters

223
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: in the fourth inning on this praise team reach base

224
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 2: and and bring runs home. And that's the implosion happens.

225
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 2: Because then after that, again the old David Peterson, he's

226
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: not really paying attention. He puts a change up in

227
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: the zone and jerks and Profar just swats it for

228
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: a double, and then you're like, oh no, And then

229
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: again he walks Matt Olson and you're like, what that

230
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: like to let all of that stuff go over? And

231
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: then Riegherrett comes in. It's interesting that it's not interesting.

232
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: I thought it was like the right technically, the right

233
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: move in the moment to bring in Rigarrett. He's been

234
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: the fireman. And then he gives up the bloopiest bloop

235
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 2: bloop of all time single to Marcelo Zuna, which says

236
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: baseball that happens again. Sean Murphy walks two walks in

237
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: one inning. No Rareness walk two times one inning. And

238
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: then Michael Harris just the the killer, the Killer of dreams,

239
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: hits an absolute laser beam home run. The center field

240
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: and the entire stadium just went gone. Every single beat

241
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 2: of verishaid it was silent the rest of the night.

242
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: I think it was the right move to go to

243
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: a different picture. The one thing I will say is

244
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: we've now seen Reid Garrett how many times come in

245
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: this situation where there's runners on and he he has

246
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: not been good at holding inherited runners this year. I

247
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: feel like every time he's come in in these situations

248
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: it takes him a little bit to get going.

249
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: I think he needs to be a clean, clean inning guy.

250
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: This would have been a moment maybe to give a

251
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: look at I don't know, this is where you go

252
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: crazy and you're like, we need to get these outs

253
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: right now. Let's put in like a Tyler Rodgers in

254
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: the fourth inning. I mean, or that that would be

255
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: a good time. Theoretically, I think in terms of who

256
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: the picture is rather than who the picture we've seen

257
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: for Ryan Helsley, now I do I do also want

258
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: to say this as well, Mendoza gets second guessed a lot.

259
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 2: These games were not his fault. No, they weren't his fault.

260
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: It's still fair as we're pointing out creevences just to

261
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: point out things that we didn't like that we saw

262
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: that were you know that we're shitty like that. I

263
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: think that's all fair. Like, I think that while none

264
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: of this stuff is directly a fault of Carlos Mendoza

265
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: and these decisions this and that the other thing, this

266
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: entire stretch reflects poorly on him, I think it's hard

267
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: to say it does. Oh, it looks horribly. It looks terrible.

268
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: I think we were talking about it on the train

269
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: on the way back. You take away Jose Glasias and

270
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: j D. Martinez from last year the Mets were pretty horrible.

271
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: And then now they're not on this team, and while.

272
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: They still are five six games over five hundred, whatever

273
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: it is, We're looking at another moment where the Mets

274
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: have been pretty horrible under Carlos Mendoza's management. And as

275
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: much as I still will be a believer in Carlos

276
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: Mendoza until I'm not until he's gone, until it's over,

277
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: until if the Mets like Faly out of the playoffs,

278
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't really think he can bring this

279
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: guy back, but until we see some sort of change,

280
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't feel confident right now with Carlos

281
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: Mendoza at all. There's there's something missing from his leadership standpoint,

282
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: where he's not getting the most at these guys and.

283
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: The players do have to play better. It's not fully

284
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 2: his fault.

285
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: You can't fire the players, you can fire the managers,

286
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: is what happened. I'm not calling for Mendoz to be fired,

287
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: but there there is this weird taste in my mouth

288
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: right now where I'm like, what's going on? I thought

289
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: Mendoza was going to be better at leading this team

290
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: through this kind of rough patch.

291
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: Do you still want to guess what our playoff thoughts

292
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: are right now? Probably like fifty four percent according to

293
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: fangrass right now, it's actually seventy four point five percent.

294
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 2: Diday update. The updated tonight after the game. Going into

295
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: the day, it was still high.

296
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: I know we still have the three games against the Reds,

297
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: and I know we're technically still in it for the

298
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: NLE East, but that's a far cry away. It just

299
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't really feel like this is a team that's

300
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: going to make the playoffs.

301
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: I don't.

302
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: I don't believe that this is a playoff team right

303
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: now by any measure of the how you look at

304
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: a baseball team.

305
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: It doesn't. If you don't make the playoffs, this is

306
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 2: a it's a travesty, it tear it down moment. It's

307
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: an outward catastrophe. This team doesn't doesn't get to the playoffs.

308
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 2: And even if you do, like sneak into the playoffs

309
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 2: and still lose in a three game wild cards, Yeah,

310
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: I gotta even know, so it will almost still feel

311
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: so far away from these conversations you still have for

312
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: the games left, the forty one games left this season,

313
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: Like it's almost shockingly games. It's shockingly far away, like

314
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 2: to think that like how this team gets like these

315
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 2: are the dog days of August my dad said of

316
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: the trainer at homes like this is the part of

317
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 2: the season that separates the actually good teams from the

318
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: teams that you think might be good teams. And right

319
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: out of the Mets look like a team that's not

320
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: actually a good team. And I think that is apparent

321
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: after watching them lose a series where they needed to

322
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 2: win one game against Carlos Carasco or Bryce Elder to

323
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 2: actually win the series. Yeah, and they lost both of

324
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: those games.

325
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: Obviously they smacked around Carrasco, so no hunger strike, but

326
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: man not being able to hit Bryce Elder in his

327
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: ninety pooh fastball and his horrible slider and just.

328
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: Being horrible on the mound. He's terrible.

329
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: This isn't even us being like we hate the guy,

330
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: but he has good numbers. He has bad numbers. He

331
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: gets shit on by teams. It took six pitchers in

332
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: this Braves rotation being basically out for the year for

333
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: Bryce Elder to get a legit chance to pitch again.

334
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: He is putrid, And the Mets were like, what if

335
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: you go seven innings, eighty two pitches and you just

336
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: absolutely dominate us start to finish, and it's.

337
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: Just like there was so many double plays, so many

338
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: lazy ground balls, like Bryce Elder got deeper into this

339
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: game than the Mets star there has, I think since

340
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: David Peterson's complete game shoutout, and he was losing. They

341
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: weren't even winning when he was in the seventh inning.

342
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: Michael Harris had eight hits in this series in three games.

343
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: Think about that for a second. Ozzie Albi's he brought

344
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: up his ops like twenty five points just in the

345
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: series alone. Like guys ops start with the six the

346
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: met in the Mets game and the met from the

347
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: Mets hitters on Thursday, no one who hit after fourth

348
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: in the batting weather got the hit, and Brett Baidy

349
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: was the only person to reach base with his walk

350
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: in the second or third inning. That was a melior.

351
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: It was the third inning. It was immediately erased by

352
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: Luis Horrenz double play. It's just it's there was nothing

353
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: nothing in this game to hang to hang like. It's

354
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: just it was. There were loud booze in City Field

355
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: for the first time I've heard a very long time.

356
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: From the moment that they blew that game on Wednesday,

357
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: there was nothing good that happened there was. There was

358
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: not a good thing that went on in Mets baseball.

359
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 2: Maybe besides Code Ice.

360
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: Angle looking like a good picture again, he looked a

361
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: lot better tonight, which is, I guess is a positive

362
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: and something that to keep an eye out for, because

363
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: if the Mets want to have any sort of chance

364
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: at all at even sniffing the playoffs, Code I Sanga

365
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: has to be this version at the absolute worst of himself.

366
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: But even after they blew that game on Wednesday, they

367
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: didn't hit, they didn't show up. Mets had twelve hits

368
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: in that game, six runs. Those hits didn't accumulate anything.

369
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: Plans got thrown out the plate. Mets were hitting singles.

370
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: They just they couldn't They couldn't do anything because the

371
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: way they scored all their runs. Big hits, extra base hits.

372
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: Want so to home run big, big power, and then

373
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: you get the singles. And this is what happens. And

374
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: this is why you get upset when you when you're

375
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: not hitting extra base hits. The Braves got extra base hits.

376
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: Braves got plenty of extra base hits. When you're not

377
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: getting two bases on plays or if you're not taking

378
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: the extra base, if you're not running the base as well.

379
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: It's pretty it's pretty tough to win BA. They're not

380
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: doing anything well right now. The only reason we got

381
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: the three runs on Thursday, Francisco Lindor solo home run,

382
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: Lindor hit, stolen base yep, and then Juan Solo stolen base. Yes,

383
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: oh wait no, because wait wait one So got the hit,

384
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: made it or Wan Sota walked. I got there right

385
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: now because Lindor got the third. It's Lindor got the hit.

386
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: The NEMO drove him with the sacrifice fly, and then

387
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: Lonzo with the single after want So stole the base.

388
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: So yes. So it's like those two guys basically manufactured

389
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: all the runs themselves. And then there's still people on

390
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: Twitter being like, I can't believe So didn't come through

391
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: is to go ahead run with the man on first

392
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: late in the game, struck out, Like I understand that

393
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: it was a big situation that game. It does sucks.

394
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 2: He wants to struck out, especially after watching him strack

395
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: down three consecutive at bats when we were trying to

396
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: again clar way back into a game we're losing by

397
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 2: a lot the day before. But the manufacturing of runs.

398
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: He was he was a big part of it, Like

399
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: this was an't home run, it's yeah, I mean, oh no,

400
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the game on Thursday where yeah, he

401
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: got he got the walk and he stole the base.

402
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: Literally we don't score the runs, he's steal the base.

403
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: It was a two out, stole and base and get

404
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: driven in by a single Like that was a monumental

405
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: moment in that game. That was important. It sucks that

406
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: gets washed away because our pit like it's just no

407
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: one's picking each other up, up and down his entire teams.

408
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 2: Then it winds up being that the few pressure chances

409
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 2: we have can put back on the doorsteps of the

410
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 2: same few player because they're hitting the top of the

411
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: other and when they don't come through, while it has

412
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 2: big assisted that these guys haven't come through and have

413
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 2: it had the big moments, so we want to be like,

414
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: this is your moment. It looks worse because no one

415
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: else is doing anything. So the few chances again can

416
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: put on the same guys. They don't come through, and

417
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: it's just it's a revolving cycle of pain and misery.

418
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: Everything is magnified because nothing is going right. You don't

419
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: remember when guys blow games and they win at the

420
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: end of it, because you're like, oh, it was it

421
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: was a game in April, and we don't worry about it.

422
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: You'll remember guys not taking the extra base in the

423
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: game that you win because they don't have to, because

424
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: you won the baseball game. Because the Mets keep losing

425
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: because the offense fucking stinks. The offense sucks. This is

426
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: a bad offensive team. It is broken. There's not a

427
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: lot of good hitters on this roster right now. I

428
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: think we can just straight up say that there's like

429
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: three or four maybe consider good major league baseball hitters.

430
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna still keep Francisco Lindor in there. It's Lindor,

431
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: it's Soto, it's Alamzo, everybody else right now, I'm I'm

432
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: not gonna say they're a good hitter at this point.

433
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: I still say Nemo is a good hitter, even though

434
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: he hasn't been hitting that well. Oh the game on Thursday,

435
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: he's deep. He hit pretty well. You know, he had

436
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten mile an hour single. He hit

437
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 2: the sack fly like he hits. He's doing more things.

438
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: He can't hit a fucking fastball anymore. Every fastball that's

439
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: being thrown. He hit Bryce Elder's ninety one today, which cool,

440
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: that's not really a fastball. It's like a change up

441
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: nowadays in baseball. But like watching the game on Wednesday,

442
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: it's like faulball, foulball, fallball, fallball ninety five.

443
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: You can't touch it. And that's also sadly a telltale

444
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 2: sign of aging for a guy like brand Nemo, who

445
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: has had some bad speed regression. Like this entire MSS

446
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 2: team is as a team, it's because they're trying to

447
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: hit singles. But when you see like the bass feed

448
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 2: go down about a full tick from where it was

449
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 2: last year, Like all right, that's that's a player that's

450
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: getting older and slowing down a good bit.

451
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: And also like he's not playing good defense in left

452
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: field either, Like I hate talking negatively about Brandon Neimo

453
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: because forever he was the underrated king, nobody was giving

454
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: him props, and just as soon as he starts to

455
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: get props, he's been not a very impactful player at all.

456
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: And I just I can't continue to see him hit three.

457
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 2: I can't do it. But who else it's three? That's

458
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: just Pete Alonso and then Sodo Alonso. That's it.

459
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: I don't care what happens after them right now, because

460
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: this team cannot score runs. There's no damage that's being done.

461
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: We need Soto and Alonso to have the most opportunity

462
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: possible to hit with guys with on base runners of

463
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: scoring position, even though Sodo can't get hits with the

464
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: runners in the scoring position. But it's gonna turn around eventually,

465
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: has to.

466
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 2: He's too good. It's also not that he's eventually going

467
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: to turn around, because I do think that at this point,

468
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: this this narrative has built up a little bit in

469
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 2: Watso's mind. You could see it the way he's approaching

470
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: these that bass runs cord position. You could see his

471
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: process to tier rating, his approach to tier rating in

472
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: these spots. It seems like he wants to win back

473
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: all the favor of the Mets fans that kind of

474
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: doubt him at one shot, like that play, the appearance

475
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: against Tyler Kinley late in the game, with that with

476
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 2: the hanging sliders, hang sliders, hanging sliders on Wednesday, and

477
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: why So was taking the definition of what we call

478
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 2: daddy hack swing out of his literal shoes because Tyler

479
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,719
Speaker 2: Kinley was throwing frisbees, liberal home run derby pitches, and

480
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: he just couldn't he couldn't line them up, and like

481
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 2: every single time he took another swing, it was like whoa, whoa,

482
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 2: Like he was spinning around, look like an animation when

483
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 2: he's going for it.

484
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: But so lem asks James, where is the coaching? Where

485
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: is the coaching? Because that is at the end of

486
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: the day, the players do have to make the plays.

487
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: They have to go out there, they have to perform,

488
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: they have to do their job. But when the process

489
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: starts to become muddled or kind of confusing, like it

490
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: has been, when there is no process, when there are decisions,

491
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: when there's like I don't want to say decisions, but

492
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: decisions while the players being made that go against how

493
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: things should be. Where's the coaching or are the players

494
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: in a full mutiny?

495
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: I think in this situation, this could be a mutiny situation. Now,

496
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 2: I mean not mutiny, I think is a strong word.

497
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: But you're down by three runs and you had just

498
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: let the entire world cave in around you. Paul Blackburn

499
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 2: comes in pitches his first the pitch of the fifth inning,

500
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 2: into clean innings, You're like, all right, now, let's jump

501
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: back on them. Aaron Bummer enters that inning with like

502
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: forty five pitches. Bomber pitches He's he's been weirdly pitching

503
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: a long relief because they're so absent of pitchers right now.

504
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: Then Tyler Kinley comes in, and these guys know Tyler

505
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: Kinley has nothing. Tyler Tyler Kinley. Once this count goes

506
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: to three to two on so though he could, he

507
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 2: hangs three consecutive sliders in a row. Yeah, one, two, three.

508
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 2: I know in your mind you probably the coaching in

509
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: the game planning you got there was like, hey, like

510
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 2: there's guys on first and second drive one of them home.

511
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 2: Let the next guy do some business. But one. So

512
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 2: it was like fuck that, Like, let's let's tie the game.

513
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 2: Let's actually get this shit going back in the right direction.

514
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: Because also the way the season's gone, it probably is

515
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: some of these feelings seeping into these guys, whether it

516
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 2: be conscious or subconscious. I want to do this right now.

517
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: I don't really want to pass this off to the

518
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: next guy because we can't. You haven't really sustained many

519
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 2: of these routes. We haven't exactly the team hit that

520
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: well runs his scoring position. So when you're getting reconsecutive sliders, yeah,

521
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 2: fuck it, try to hit the home run. Like that

522
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 2: wasn't of all the things that happened in this series,

523
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 2: that wasn't one where I look back on it's like

524
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 2: I really wish want soos shortened up. There no, no, no,

525
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 2: no no.

526
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: But I think it's more of like a bigger picture

527
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: thing with this Mets team of like the process seems

528
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: gone or the process is so bad.

529
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: That I'll snap back on you for a second. I

530
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: think it's even bigger picture than that. Okay, I think

531
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 2: there's a bigger picture where it just feels like there's

532
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 2: no and we've talked about this a lot, there's no

533
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 2: like get off on this team. There's no like, there's

534
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: no there's no field, there's no there's no punch. Like

535
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 2: they're not saying literal punch, but I'm saying like there's

536
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 2: I don't know if we're getting into these clubhouses at

537
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 2: the end of these games and someone is like standing

538
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: up being like, oh, this shit's unacceptable, Like this is

539
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 2: not happening. Here's what's happening. Ready, In case you guys

540
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 2: can't see, I'm texting on my phone. I think there's

541
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 2: a lot. Do you think we have a silent clubhouse?

542
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: I think we have a dead silent clubhouse.

543
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: Remember remember last year that was a big thing before

544
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: Glaciers and Jadie Martinez got in, it was a silent clubhouse.

545
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 2: There was no vibes. It was dead.

546
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you right now this team has negative

547
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: a million vibes. I don't know why it's happening. I

548
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: don't know who's to blame. Actually I do know who's

549
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: to blame. It's it's the management. It's the management's fault.

550
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: They've got to do a better job. But this team

551
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: has no vibe. I don't like I follow these guys

552
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: on Instagram. I'm seeing nothing on their instagrams, them going

553
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: out to team dinners anymore, going and doing stuff with

554
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: each other after the games.

555
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: This is like crazy, like conspiracy tinfoil hat thing. But like,

556
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 2: there's a vibe right now.

557
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,959
Speaker 1: There has to be or they're all just so fucking

558
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: worried about what's going on that nobody has the balls

559
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: to say anything.

560
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: Well then whose job is to say that? Is it

561
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 2: Lindor is it Pete Nemo? So though Mendoza, like, who

562
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 2: who's this come down? To that or who who could

563
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 2: be the one that changes the tide. I think Lindor

564
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: is the de facto leader.

565
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: I think we know that Pete is the goofball, like

566
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: we've kind of we know what the rules are of

567
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: these guys, and they still don't really have that rah

568
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: rah leader. Like Piatz the goofball, he keeps everybody loose.

569
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: Lindor is the lead by example guy. Play hard every

570
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: single day, play through injuries, show up, do your job

571
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: no matter what's going on. Nimo is kind of the

572
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: same way where he's like he's a quiet guy. He's

573
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: never been a big row rock person. Maybe maybe that's

574
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: where I Glacis and Jade they kept him actually lose,

575
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: Like hey, we're fucking baseball players. Go out through your job, Mendoza.

576
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: It feels like this has to fall in Mendoza a

577
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: little bit to get your guys in shape. If you

578
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: walk into a locker room and it's not and again

579
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: we don't.

580
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: Know actually what's going on. This is completely and hypothesis.

581
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: But if you're walking into a locker room that's dead,

582
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: you gotta try and do something. Throw a chair, like

583
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned to me before the Moneyball scene, I know

584
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: it's the GM there with Billy Bean, but like going

585
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: there and just start swinging bats at water coolers and

586
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: just start breaking shit, Like there needs to be some

587
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: sort of life with this team, because there is. There

588
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: is objectively zero life right now. Nobody's pumped, nobody's getting sighted.

589
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: Michael Harris is hitting doubles, he's on second base, fucking

590
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: having sex with the air his hip. The Mets don't

591
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: do this anymore. They don't do the celebrations.

592
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 2: There's no they still they still they still do this.

593
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're going through the motions. They're they They

594
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: got no juice this team. This team's juiceless.

595
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: There's no dog And I don't know how they get

596
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 2: it back this season. I really don't. No, I don't either.

597
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 2: And it's like because it felt like, and it did

598
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 2: feel during a big part of the year that the

599
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 2: guy who's stepping into that like team leader, culture manager

600
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 2: guy was kind of Starling Marte. But he's also a

601
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: nonchalant guy. And that's nothing against Starling Martel. Same thing

602
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 2: we said before, he's gotta be yourself. There just isn't

603
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 2: exactly a raw rad guy in here. We were kind

604
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 2: of hoping Alvarez could step into that a little bit,

605
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 2: but he got sent down to the minor leagues. It's

606
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 2: hard to start voicing your opinions when you were in

607
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: the minor leagues two and half weeks ago. Like, that's

608
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 2: just how these things work.

609
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of guys that when things

610
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: happen in the game, when things happen in leadership, just

611
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: every I think there's a lot of this. Well, it's like,

612
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,239
Speaker 1: you know, when people are like choking, It's like, well,

613
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: someone needs to call nine to one one, but everybody

614
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: thinks that someone else is gonna call it, so no

615
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: one ends up calling nine to one one. That feels

616
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: like what's happening with the Mets is they're like, well,

617
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna do it, and they're.

618
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: Like, well, yeah, but he's gonna do it. They're all

619
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 2: pointing out each other thinking that they're gonna be able

620
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: to get the job done, and then it ends up

621
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 2: being that nobody does anything, and this team has another

622
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 2: shit fucking series where there's no life, no juice, no energy,

623
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: and it feels kind of like still like over and

624
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: over and over again because they are saying the same

625
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: things at the end of the game. So I'm on

626
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 2: record saying I think these are the right things they're

627
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 2: saying to the media eye, but we feel it feels

628
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 2: like they're still just shocked this is still happening. It

629
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 2: feels like they're outwardly surprised they keep losing these games,

630
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: which it's like, I don't know how they can be surprised.

631
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: This is the team they are. They are not the

632
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 2: good team from the beginning of the year.

633
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: They are the bad team since June thirteenth, whenever we

634
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: played the Rays. Since that date, that is the New

635
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: York Mets team that has been on the field. Nothing

636
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: has changed. They sprinkled in a little seven game win

637
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: streak there against the Giants.

638
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 2: Thank god.

639
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: Imagine we'd be five hundred right now. But like, that's

640
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: the team they are, so there shouldn't be surprised. Is

641
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: when you look around and you're like, oh shit, five

642
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: guys in this lineup every single night are not major

643
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: league hitters their league average when they're cooking, when they're clicking.

644
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: This team doesn't play good defense the steel bases, but

645
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: they don't ever seem to get that extra base that

646
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: these other teams get.

647
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: I think the defense has still been fine. I'm about

648
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 2: I'm not looking at any of the defense, like I

649
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: made the one horrible era on Saturday, but I haven't

650
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 2: been seeing like bad defensive plays.

651
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: I think I think they're a mediocre defensive team. I

652
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: don't think they're a strong defensive team like they once were. Yeah,

653
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: I think I think it's an acceptable de defensive team.

654
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: That's still fine.

655
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: Part of that's Soto is bad in right field. We

656
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: know that, yeah, but that's also as you signed up for.

657
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 2: That's okay. So yet he's still the guy that is

658
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: one of the most consistent hitters in the team. But

659
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 2: I feel I feel like a lot of balls drop

660
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: in the outfield. I feel like on the infield, besides Lindor,

661
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 2: tough plays don't get made. I mean, they'll still make

662
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 2: tough play every once in a while, but he's definitely

663
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 2: not like a standout guy. And I mean, I think

664
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 2: I think Baby's still playing a good third base. Like

665
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 2: I know he tried to make that Bareham play Thursday

666
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 2: and he kind of sailed the throw, but it's like

667
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 2: kind of one of those plays we need though we're kinding.

668
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: But that's also that's the Titaness thing where it's like,

669
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 2: now you're your folk. You're focusing and trying to rely

670
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 2: on like ninety percentile defensive plays to spark this team.

671
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 2: Why can't we just score five runs off price eltor

672
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 2: whyn't we not presslet the game because we can't hit

673
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: because we have a bad hitting coach and we have

674
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 2: bad players. You may maybe the best listen to the

675
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 2: mess up game plans bet just try the Maybe that's

676
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 2: why they hit him so well on all right, so

677
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: because weilated him.

678
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: When we talk about the Marinders pitchers, James, this is

679
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 1: on you, a lot of pressure on you. You've got

680
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: exactly what they're looking for because you said Spencer Strider

681
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: and they fucked that loser up. They crushed that dork

682
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: not unlucky that game. So just remember when we do that,

683
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna be all on top of it. But I

684
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: got I got that one said, I mean, do we

685
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: just are they listening to the podcast? So we have

686
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: to tell them what to do. Hey, guys, ready, hit

687
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: the ball hard, lift the baseball, run the base as well,

688
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: play good defense. Beat bad teams. The Mariners are coming

689
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: to town. They're one of the hottest teams in baseball.

690
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: They're really good. I think they're the best team in

691
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: the American League.

692
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: You're gonna need to wake up this series or by

693
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: the end of the weekend, you are not gonna be

694
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. You're gonna be on the outside looking in. No.

695
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 2: The problem is that that keeps seeming like it's going

696
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 2: to keep happening and happening and happening. Like I know

697
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 2: that again, Like that's why I want to reference the

698
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 2: playoff odds before. It's like, they still look good. They

699
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: still look really shiny and crispy because work off projections

700
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: projections that love our team and really don't like the

701
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: Reds team. And that's fair because on paper, our team

702
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 2: is significantly better than that Reds team.

703
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: That should be fucking clear of the playoffs. It should

704
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: be like, oh my god, we're coasting. This should be

705
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: the time to chase the Phillies and run them. This

706
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: should be a time to focus on home like trying

707
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: to avoid the three game series, try to get home field.

708
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: The three game series you have to play in it.

709
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: We're literally going to fight with our lives for the

710
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: fun with the fucking Cincinnati Reds, who won the poorest

711
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: owners in sports.

712
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: It's just like we might to Cincinnati. Man, I don't

713
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 2: know if I want to go there. I maybe I

714
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: could time it up again. We could do buck guys,

715
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 2: like we said last time. But it's just this is

716
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: it'd be hellish being there watching them at season fall

717
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: apart in the same place. Sinnati is a lovely city.

718
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 2: Cincinnati is a is a fine small American city. Good Americana.

719
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: It's good Americana. Good. It's as like the classic of Americana.

720
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,239
Speaker 2: Like here's our stadium. You see that street right there,

721
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 2: bars and restaurants, that's the bars. Yeah, that part of

722
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 2: it is great and we do you need that. But

723
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: it's like, also, we got we got weeks before that series, dude,

724
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 2: we got so much time that September sixth and seventh,

725
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 2: all right, you want to make that weekend right now?

726
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: How many games up or back around the Mets at

727
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: that point for the playoffs from the Reds.

728
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 2: So I'll do a quick little schedule scan right now.

729
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 2: I'll just let you guys know what's coming up. I

730
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: hate doing this, but we're at that point in the

731
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: season you kind of have to do it back, That's

732
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, because we still have six weeks of

733
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 2: baseball left. There's so much baseball left right now we

734
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: have more baseball left left. And if you go back

735
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 2: in time to July fourth, think about how long ago

736
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 2: that that was. It was a week earlier than that is.

737
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: How much longer now we have forward the season. But

738
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 2: it's Mariners Nationals in Atlanta next weekend. You can talk

739
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 2: that with three that's the three losses. Robin will be back.

740
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: He seven home runs, and then Philly four home against

741
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 2: the Marlins. That seven game Homestead, Phillies and Marlins. We

742
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 2: might be under five hundred at that point. Lose, you

743
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: might lose six of those seven games. And then it's

744
00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 2: a road trip at Detroit, at Cincinnati, at Philadelphi. Just crazy.

745
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: They can't win baseball games. I don't have confidence in

746
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: any of this because they can't win any games. Also,

747
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 2: looking at the second half of this team, two losses,

748
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 2: seven wins, four losses, one win, seven losses, one win,

749
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: two losses, like twelve games over five hundred, and the

750
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: second half began less than a month ago, and now

751
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: I'm only seven up. I mean we've lost what thirteen

752
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: of fifteen? Right?

753
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: I think that is Yeah, that's not good. Baseball teams

754
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: do not lose thirteen to fifteen.

755
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: It's just playing the simple twice in one year. It's

756
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 2: just again. Now we're just rehashing. Now, this is just

757
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: Mark and I doing the misery moment before you. Guys,

758
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 2: you don't want to hear this. But it's abysmal. It's abysmal.

759
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: They suck, They're terrible. There's no more like banking on regression.

760
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 2: There's no more like, oh, we just got to get

761
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: it together and understand the frustration in them, or it's

762
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 2: a fun Maybe it's not. I don't think that's them

763
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: because I think skill wise and ability wise, that's not them.

764
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: It might be this way of thinking. Maybe they have

765
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 2: to look up in the standing and see they've fallen

766
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 2: out of the playoff spot for the fire to get lit,

767
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 2: Like maybe there needs to be something external. It seems

768
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 2: like that ignites them and sends them back in, like

769
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: something has to happen that's outside of the field to play,

770
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: like the things that are normally being said or done

771
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 2: or talked about inside of that clubhouse.

772
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe maybe that spark is gonna be our

773
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: player DraftKings spotlight.

774
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 2: Let's talk about it. Nolan McLain. Yeah. So, uh, Nolan

775
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 2: McClain is making his debut on Saturday.

776
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: As negative as we've been and upset, I'm gonna be

777
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: at the stadium.

778
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 2: I gotta watch Noel mclan.

779
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: We've been talking about him for a year and a

780
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: half now, very excited about how good he is as

781
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: a pitcher. He's flown up the prospect rankings. He's looked

782
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: awesome this year and if there is a spark, I

783
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: don't want to put all the pressure on him to

784
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: be the saving grace by anything, that's the problem. But

785
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: I think Nol mclan can definitely be a spark that

786
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: this team needs. They need some young energy. I saw

787
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: some pictures on Twitter of him.

788
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 2: The dudes.

789
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: Dude's a crazy looking character. He's got the cutoff jeans,

790
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: he's got the tank tops with the cut through the middle.

791
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: Might be a gun guy, but like he's from Okahoma

792
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: State or whatever, Like it kind of was expected.

793
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 2: Maybe he brings us a little juice to this team.

794
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 2: We need it. It's at least an the fusion of energy.

795
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 2: I do hate this feeling though, that like this rotation

796
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 2: is completely floundering, absolutely falling. Apart of the seams like

797
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: no semless of hope from any in direction. I guess

798
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 2: the glimmer river from code Yeah, yeah. I guess the

799
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 2: fact that he was able to locate the color and

800
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 2: the fastball and like at the swings and misses like

801
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 2: that's a good, nice thing and I think that he

802
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: needs those to set up that all works together. But

803
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 2: it feels like a lot being put on a young

804
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: guy like this, who at the same time is still

805
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: While I think there's good potential Nolan McLean, I think

806
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 2: he's basically starting pitcher, there is still some legitimate shortcomings

807
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: with some things he does, like just to I mean,

808
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 2: it does a lot of positives, Nolan McLean. The sweeper

809
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 2: is one of the best on planet Earth. We've been

810
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 2: saying that for years. It's huge, It's downright incredible. And

811
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: he's developed a sinker to go with the forcing fastball

812
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 2: to have both of those. It's nice. And then he's

813
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 2: done a lot of hard work this year to build

814
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: up the rest of that rep really really really nicely

815
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 2: color curveball, now kick change, like he's got it all,

816
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 2: but those pitches are in their infancy still, so with

817
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 2: the great sweeper in the slider with a great sweeper

818
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 2: in the sinker, there will be some shortcomings he gainst

819
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 2: left handed bats. I'm sure. I think that's it's fine

820
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 2: to work out those problems in the major league level.

821
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 2: But I'm scared that we're going to put too much

822
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: pressure on him as a fan base, even the Mets

823
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 2: as an organization right now, to be a savior when

824
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: he's probably closer to just good not great, which is

825
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 2: still fine at the at this moment. Yeah, I don't know.

826
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 2: I've I agree.

827
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: I don't want him to be deemed the savior of

828
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,479
Speaker 1: this team by the means, but I got a weird

829
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: feeling that he's just gonna come out and shove.

830
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 2: I don't know how long he's gonna go.

831
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: I would expect not too long, right, Like, I mean,

832
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: he's been throwing in the seventies and eighties in terms

833
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 1: of pitch count.

834
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 2: So last week was the first time that he pitched

835
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 2: on the fifth day in the minor leagues. So I

836
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 2: think that was them kind of pushing like, Okay, now

837
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 2: we're about to get them ready, like that was kind

838
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: of that whole idea there. But then he only threw

839
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 2: seventy five pitches on the fifth day. But now he's

840
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 2: getting the extra day of rest to come back up

841
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 2: for this start again. I think he will have eighty

842
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 2: ninety pitches in the tank. But I also I don't

843
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 2: know how willing they're going to be to let those

844
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 2: lefties in the Manner's line have see him a third time.

845
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 2: Like That's where I think more so in the pitch count,

846
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 2: the situation could dictate things. Yeah, I don't know.

847
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: I think if I'm looking at anything for Noel McLean,

848
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm definitely checking his out. I know DraftKings has the

849
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 1: outs on there every once in a while. I think

850
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna see twelve and a half. I think

851
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna see Kenny go more than four innings. I'm

852
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: gonna err on the side of yes. I think he can.

853
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: I think he's a dog like. I don't know if

854
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: he goes six innings. I don't know if he goes

855
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: a full five. But I do think that the Mets

856
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: are gonna push him, and they they kind of need.

857
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: They need some innings out of this guy right now, a.

858
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 2: Lot of them. The one thing I will be saying

859
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 2: to look out for Nolan McLain if he's able to

860
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 2: use his curve ball because it's it's a curveball that

861
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 2: again it looks like good pitch has got plus depth

862
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: on it. I don't know if he's going to be

863
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 2: able to actually use it. I've talked about this a

864
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 2: little bit recently, especially my YouTube channel about Cam Schlitler recently,

865
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 2: where he has a curve ball that like pops in

866
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: the stuff Miles. It's a visually appealing pitch, but every

867
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 2: time maybe the kid that like looks at that like

868
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 2: roll their eyes so like, I'm not swinging at that curveball.

869
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: We know what you're trying to do with that curve

870
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 2: It's almost like a two different from everything else that

871
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 2: you can identify it kind of the still works the

872
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 2: four steamed fastball, so it can still tunnel off that

873
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 2: that that's kind of true of the color. But also

874
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: if you can place that color, if one of those

875
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 2: pitches can be functional against the lefties, then I'll be

876
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 2: much more in Like I hate that, Like I want

877
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 2: to be excited about Nolan McLain. I'm very excited, but

878
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 2: Nooma clan and I want this to be like I'm

879
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 2: throwing tons of Colwaller, Nolanclay. You have Christian Scott excitement

880
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 2: or no, oh yeah, tons of Christians Scott ah different.

881
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 2: I actually had the conversation my guy Jack, who I

882
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 2: talked to all the time, Gert Met's pitching guy. Would

883
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 2: you rather have the plus plus fastball, the plus plus

884
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 2: sweeper and then try to build off each of those pitches,

885
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 2: because that's the difference. I love Scott because of the

886
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: sick fastball. McLain is a sick sweeper and so much junk,

887
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 2: so much kitchen sink off it now. But against lefties

888
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 2: like you just gotta find one of these pitches to

889
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 2: be consistent, and the cother's been the one that has

890
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 2: helped him take the step this year, maintaining ninety five

891
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 2: with that fastball. But it's just if the major league

892
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 2: hitters will actually go for that curveball will be the

893
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 2: whole key here. And again the left he's had a

894
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: forty four percent forty three percent wif right onto mynor leagues.

895
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 2: The triple A is here, so that's that's huge for him.

896
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: But I just wonder if he'll actually get swung at

897
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 2: the majorleague level. If you see people chasing that pitch early,

898
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 2: get very very excited. If not, it's gonna be four

899
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 2: three between three and five innings.

900
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so what are you getting tell the people to

901
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: look out for on the DraftKings strikeouts.

902
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 2: Over four and a half, Okay, I think he's going

903
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 2: to I think the rights are gonna he's getting demolished

904
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 2: the right these and you're facing righties eighty percent of

905
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 2: the time. So that's true. Yeah, you heard her picks.

906
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:29,920

00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 3: gaming resources see dknng dot co slash audio.

922
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean we want to do a little media marvel, right,

923
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's been some crazy stuff going on

924
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: in the media. I have, like, I have a sane

925
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: things I got yea, I have a smaller one, and

926
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: it's not gonna hit as well because the Mets just

927
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: did play like garbage and people do want to hate

928
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: David Sterns, and I get it.

929
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 2: I don't agree with it by any means.

930
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: I'm still pro David Sterns here, but I understand why

931
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: people will be upset with him, and I do think

932
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 1: there's a lot of blame to be given to David Stearns.

933
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: I think that's totally fair. But the big one, James,

934
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you do the honors here. We've got

935
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: a legit media marvel, not the one I want to

936
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: talk about at the end.

937
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 2: Okait, which one are you talking about? Because one I

938
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: want to talk about I don't know where you're going.

939
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the fact that on Tuesday night,

940
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: after Piolanso had the single greatest personal accomplishment his major

941
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 2: league career, taking over the Met's home run record from

942
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 2: Daryl Strawberry. Momentous moment. He did a double curtain call.

943
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 2: He curtain called both sides the fields I've never seen

944
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: before because he's just our adorable goofball. Like the third

945
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 2: question he gets asked in the well is about as

946
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 2: free agency. It's like, what the fuck, guys, give read

947
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 2: the room, give them a second, and we have the

948
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 2: freaking aggregators on Twitter today and be like, oh, that's

949
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: that's like Cody Bellinger to fill the role for walking.

950
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 2: But it's like it's August. The team's in a free fall.

951
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 2: We're talking about free agency. It's like, get a grip,

952
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 2: understand the moment here, be respectful to the player in

953
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 2: the organization for a second. I know the clicks are important.

954
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 2: They do drive this whole thing that we do. But

955
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 2: it's like, come on, guys, I thought.

956
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: You're gonna lead us with the mad Dog being upset

957
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 1: and making fun of Gary for the call for when

958
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: Pete A. Lonzo broke the record. I thought that was

959
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: super lame. Shout out Don Lagreca. I think he did

960
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: a great job today going off on the mad Dog.

961
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: Mad Dog's legend.

962
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 2: We know it.

963
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: He's a little past his time. I think for sure

964
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: in terms of he's like the original clickbather. Yes, of course,

965
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: before there were clicks, he was clickbaiting. He was giving

966
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: Gary like a ton of shit and the Mets and

967
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: obviously like it's an unimpressive number for franchise home runs,

968
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: even though it's actually not actually that low when you

969
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: look at other franchise home run records. But we'll talk

970
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: about that another time. Donal Grecor was like, dude, this

971
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: isn't for you. You're a San Francisco Giants fan, Like

972
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: this is for Mets fans. For Mets fans, Pete hitting

973
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: this home run was a huge moment for most people

974
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 1: watching this. They didn't get to see Darryl Strawberry play.

975
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: This is a homegrown Mets player, something that we don't

976
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: get a lot of, who has now solidified himself as

977
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: one of the greatest Mets of all time. The organization

978
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: is not illustrious. There is not a lot of these big,

979
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: big names where you can hang your hat and be like,

980
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: look at us. I mean Don mc gregor again, famous

981
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: rant Ed Cranepool, that's.

982
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 2: Your forever players, like the Yankees. Look at all these

983
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 2: guys we don't have that.

984
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: So when Pete a Lonzo hit that moment, as much

985
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: as the rest of this seer he sucked, that was

986
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: awesome as a Mets fan, and Chris Russo poo pooing it,

987
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: I think is what's wrong with sports media.

988
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 3: Now.

989
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: People are allowed to be fans of their teams, whether

990
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: they're good, whether they're bad, whether they're terrible, and when

991
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: people shut them down for being fans of their team,

992
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: I think that's super late.

993
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 2: And this is also something that's kind of happened a

994
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,439
Speaker 2: little bit more with I think to people a little

995
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,280
Speaker 2: bit younger in US, it's like this fear of cringe.

996
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 2: People like, oh, it's so cringe your cheeringce to this

997
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 2: like record, it's not even impressive. Who cares, it's fun.

998
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 2: We're enjoying.

999
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: Celebrated Aaron Judge hitting the eighth most home runs ever

1000
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: in a Major League Baseball season.

1001
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 2: Why can't we celebrate this one. We had live lookings

1002
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 2: for that during college football games, and then it came

1003
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 2: out after the Major League Baseball was literally cheating and

1004
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 2: juicing the balls for the Aaron Judge games so he

1005
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 2: had a better chance at home run. The whole thing

1006
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 2: complete farcet, but I was also I was I would

1007
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 2: be happy to be there when that happened, happy that

1008
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 2: peelanz wo hit offs ment Either, I was sitting in

1009
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 2: almost the exact same section for Pete hit this home run.

1010
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 2: That was sitting in twenty nineteen when he beat Judges

1011
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 2: rookie home run record. So it's kind of like I

1012
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: was cool, thinking like, well a mess fandom. I was like,

1013
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 2: this is cool. Also, like two hundred and fifty home

1014
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 2: runs is under a thousand career games is disgusting, not

1015
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 2: that many guys in the history of the league have

1016
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 2: done that. So again, while the number for the Mexican

1017
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 2: Darryll almost twelve hundred games. So like fast, no, Pete

1018
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 2: is Pete's a prolific power hither to this point in

1019
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 2: his career, Like he's like Pete has had Pete's having

1020
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 2: a first like seven years of career. That's comparable to

1021
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 2: like Mark McGuire, like hillar Brew, Like these are the

1022
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 2: kinds of things that Peelands was able to do at

1023
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 2: this point. Like it's amazing how many home runs he's

1024
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 2: hit and the fact that he hit them all with

1025
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 2: the Mets. He was drafted by the Mets, like all

1026
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 2: these funny videos coming outbound in this week when he

1027
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 2: did the halftime dance with the University of Florida, that

1028
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 2: shit was adorable when he was when he had the

1029
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 2: flow and single a. I never knew about that version

1030
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 2: of people. It's just like he's he's such a lovable

1031
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 2: franchise icon. For some reason, he gets this weirdest stain

1032
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 2: in the media because of again, similar to the Chris

1033
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 2: Russo stuff, like cringe moment says he's had for wanting

1034
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 2: to win the home run derby, for like trying to

1035
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 2: like do an athletic feet and gain people jump on

1036
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 2: that for some reason. I don't. I just really can't.

1037
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 2: I understand we're biased and we're Mets fans. I can't

1038
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 2: even comprehend how an outside person would like hate Pee Alonzo. No,

1039
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 2: he's like I feel like everybody who's ever played a

1040
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 2: sport or had friends like you. Everybody has with Pete Alonzo.

1041
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 2: That's a part of your group. He's just he's a likable,

1042
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 2: goofy guy.

1043
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: He means well, and he also just happens to hit

1044
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: fucking bombs like I love Pete. Pete's awesome beats. One

1045
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: of my four good hitters on this baseball team.

1046
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 2: There you go, that's a big claim forget hitters. You

1047
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 2: can also jump back to the league lead in RBI

1048
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 2: is but when he had the first two great games

1049
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 2: this series. But it's just it does suck though. That

1050
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 2: moment was a bit sullied by the fact that how

1051
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 2: bad this team is playing. That's why that makes me

1052
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 2: the most mad.

1053
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: I do my last like half media Marvel because it's

1054
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: that hilarious tweet I sent you. I think he is

1055
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: technically media is like one hundred thousand followers on Twitter.

1056
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 1: John Forschella seems like he's a football guy by having

1057
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: parentheses football in his name in at NFL for Schella,

1058
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: big Mets fan. I think we've I think we've actually

1059
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: ragged on him before on this podcast because I think he.

1060
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 2: Is an all time bad tweeter. He's followed me and

1061
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 2: unfollowed me a few times, so I think that he

1062
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 2: does probably want some recognition, but also like doesn't want to,

1063
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 2: like actually wants it. But he's one of these classic

1064
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 2: guys that seems like doesn't really understand baseball but kind

1065
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 2: of jumps into baseball, which is fine. We love having

1066
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 2: those people more people one hundred percent. But he's He's

1067
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 2: also a funny case where I didn't realize that people

1068
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 2: who just wrote about the NFL can actually get CTE

1069
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 2: like right, that that's crazy to me to think about

1070
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 2: because he clearly was not an athlete. You can see

1071
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 2: this guy, Yeah, no, definitely not.

1072
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: But uh his tweet starts off with all the ways

1073
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: David Sertz destroyed the toy twenty five New York met

1074
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: season all caps number one, number one.

1075
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 2: You know this is gonna be a.

1076
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: Banger and listen whatever side, Drohn. I think you can

1077
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: just objectively be like, this is a this is a

1078
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: crazy person tweet number one. Nick signing Nick Madrigal instead

1079
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: of keeping Jose Iglesias. That's a crazy way to ten

1080
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: out of ten by the way, Jose Glaciers having a

1081
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: horrible season, absolutely terrible, but the vibes, But the vibes.

1082
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: Two signed Frankie Montas instead of keeping Luis Saverino. Luis

1083
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: Averno has like a seven yar this year.

1084
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 2: He's r's been one of the worst pitchers in baseball

1085
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 2: this season.

1086
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: Three signed relief pitcher Clay Holmes as a starting pitcher

1087
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: of parentheses, trying to make everyone think he is smarter

1088
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: than them. Clay Holmes, until he reached by far the

1089
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: most innings that he's ever thrown this season was really

1090
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: good this year. It actually has been a somewhat success

1091
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: now because we need Clay Holmes more.

1092
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,439
Speaker 2: It hasn't been great, but he was great to start

1093
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 2: the year. It's way more in a somewhat success. Clay

1094
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 2: Holmes is throwing one hundred twenty six innings. He's a

1095
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 2: three seven yard and a one three. It's a major success.

1096
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 2: If I told you that exact stat line for the

1097
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 2: whole season the day this thing happened to Sam and guys,

1098
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 2: I just figured we'd have any other starting pitcher that

1099
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 2: was doing anything. There's ten more.

1100
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: So let me keep reading more signed Holmes as a

1101
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: starting pitcher instead of Nathan Nevaldi, Nick Pavetta, Jose Kntada.

1102
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 2: Okay, So I want to do this because this has

1103
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 2: been the Revision's history happening recently with these three guys,

1104
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 2: specifically nath Nvaldi number one. I think that he of

1105
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 2: course would have been a slam dunk, but there wasn't

1106
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 2: even the hint, the shred, the inkling of smoke, anywhere

1107
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 2: that Nathanvaldi was even considering leaving Texas, the franchise he's

1108
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 2: been with for years now just won a World Series with,

1109
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 2: didn't even seem like there was remote possibility he'd leaved there,

1110
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 2: especially because one he had his house there and his

1111
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 2: family there. Two he doesn't pay taxes, so to move

1112
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: and take a pay cut, you'd have to have paid

1113
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 2: Nathan Valdi eight nine, ten million. You have to give

1114
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 2: Nathan Valda. I think he's making twenty two million a year.

1115
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 2: At the time, I was like, that's a great deal

1116
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 2: for everybody involved. Second part is Nick Pavetta. Everyone the

1117
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 2: league missed out Nick Vedda and Padres and Nick Vett

1118
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 2: in fucking March when every single team ran out of

1119
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 2: money for like three million dollars. That is something that

1120
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 2: is obsteing and ridiculous. But again, yeah, that could technically

1121
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 2: be considered the miss and then the last one Jose

1122
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 2: Kintan last July. Every single person right now that's clamoring

1123
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 2: for Jose Kntanas who have been in this team was

1124
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 2: demanding that he'd be DFA and released.

1125
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: And similarly to the Nick Pavetta thing, everybody missed on

1126
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: Jose Kintana. It wasn't like the Mets were the only

1127
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: team that could sign Jose Kintana. It was either Mets

1128
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: or Brewers. Everybody in baseball passed on him. He signed

1129
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: the great cheap deal with the Brewers. It's been a success.

1130
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,760
Speaker 1: I revisioned his history. We wish we had Jose Kintana,

1131
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: and even at the moment when they signed him, we

1132
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: were like, damn would have loved to have had him.

1133
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: That felt like a miss for how cheap he was.

1134
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: But everybody else in baseball had the opportunity. So twenty

1135
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: nine teams in baseball said now we good and the

1136
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: Brewers got him.

1137
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 2: Okay, So right now is August fifteenth. Last year, on

1138
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 2: August twentieth, Jose Kintana had a four point sixty RA.

1139
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 2: It's really bad. He was everyone until literally he had

1140
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 2: those like five good starts to end the year. People

1141
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 2: were screaming from the mountaintops DFA, this guy don't want

1142
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 2: to see him make another start. History at around Hose

1143
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 2: and times insane because for almost all his last year

1144
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 2: people were demanding he'd be taking off this roster.

1145
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny that you bring that up, because there's

1146
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: some more revisionist history. That's getting really funny. Number five,

1147
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: don't bring back Jad Martinez in any capacity as a

1148
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: player or coach or evaluator. I don't think he wants

1149
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: to be a coach or evaluator. I think he has

1150
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: no interest. And as a player, do you not remember

1151
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: how horrible he was in the second half of the season.

1152
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: He was unplayable at times.

1153
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 2: Jade Martinez was one of the main things that was

1154
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 2: seemed like he could have held this team back from

1155
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 2: the deep playoff run. Luckily we overcame that, thank but

1156
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 2: he was horrific.

1157
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: Six thought Jose Sirie was his slick center field acquisition.

1158
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: Guy who bats one ninety eight really can't hit a baseball.

1159
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 2: He's played eight games, has meant he's played eight games

1160
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 2: with an injury, like he broke it. Like I don't

1161
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 2: think we could really be Like you know what, Jose Serie,

1162
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,439
Speaker 2: fuck you, you suck. That's why David certain sucks. I'll

1163
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 2: say this, this is not and I don't know anything

1164
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 2: about John Frischello, we're poking fun at him. I don't

1165
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 2: like a lot of the adjectives he's using here. It's

1166
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 2: it's it's kind of bothering. On something that we won't say. Yeah,

1167
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 2: but you can, you can get with him. See what

1168
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 2: I'm getting at here. Yeah, slick's an interesting Yeah, using

1169
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 2: the words slick there because I think that people like

1170
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 2: harp on the fact that David Sterns like his upbringing

1171
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 2: Manhattan Ivy League, like it's his his moniker, the way

1172
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 2: he talks to the media. I think people kind of

1173
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 2: harp on certain things with David Sterns that borther on

1174
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 2: something sometimes, whether it be conscious or unconscious, that I

1175
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 2: think that it's it gets a little weird sometimes.

1176
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: Number seven waited too long to fire hitting coach Eric Chavez.

1177
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 2: Well he's still waiting. It actually hasn't happened. Terrible use

1178
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 2: of the verb.

1179
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 4: Uh.

1180
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: Number eight waited too long to fire hitting coach Jeremy Barnes.

1181
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,720
Speaker 2: While I agree with you, since we're waiting, we haven't waited,

1182
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 2: it hasn't happened. We are waiting. Yeah.

1183
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: Number nine waited too long to fire third base coach

1184
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 1: Mike Scarball. I mean, Starball is horrible, but like whatever, Okay,

1185
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: that's I'll tell you what. That's not the reason the

1186
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: mester losing the game. Mike Sarball, I think stinks, but

1187
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,720
Speaker 1: that's not the reason why. I also bet that Mike Sarball.

1188
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 2: Is a significantly better infield coach than they're based coach.

1189
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 2: Oh probably much better. Yeah, which is way more important.

1190
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 2: Truth so much more.

1191
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: Number ten waited too long to call Nolan McLean. Maybe

1192
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: maybe we'll say let's let's get let's get a refresh

1193
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: on this. Maybe that number eleven waited too long to

1194
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: call Brandon Sprote. Probably not true. Maybe maybe we'll see

1195
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: number twelves where we really get crazy. Waited too long

1196
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: to call Jonah Tong. I mean that's great. The guy

1197
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: was in hiatus start the year, wasn't he.

1198
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jonah Tong. I think he started here in double

1199
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 2: Sorry you're in double A, but still as twenty one

1200
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 2: year old. Yeah, twenty one year old. We can pump

1201
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 2: the brakes on Jonah Tong being up for the twenty

1202
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 2: twenty five season. There's two more James, let me get

1203
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 2: through them.

1204
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: Thirteen continues to do the opposite of simple logic, and

1205
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 1: this one is how you know that this guy has

1206
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: to e t Justin Hagenman throws four scoreless innings, gets

1207
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 1: his first save, It gets set down when literally no

1208
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: Mets pitchers could get out.

1209
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 2: You think he was gonna pitch yesterday?

1210
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,760
Speaker 1: Did you think Justin Hagenman was gonna pitch on Wednesday

1211
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: after throwing four innings the day before.

1212
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 2: This is a roster thing. The Mets need more pitching, and.

1213
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: Also is the finer notes that's hard to understand when

1214
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: you're outside fourteen. Has no feel for what it takes

1215
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: to win in baseball.

1216
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 2: That's true.

1217
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: David Stearns has never won anywhere the Mets have. Mets

1218
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: had no success last year at all. They never were

1219
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: successful in Milwaukee under his leadership. He is right, he

1220
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: has no no feel for how to win. Yeah, the

1221
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: Milwaukee team that's the best team in the league right now.

1222
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: That definitely wasn't mostly built by David Stearns either. No,

1223
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,919
Speaker 1: I do like that spin zone of us, of David

1224
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: Stearns Truthers taking credit for the Bruce.

1225
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 2: That's a disgusting spin zone. By that's it. That's what

1226
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 2: we're doing the same thing as him on the other

1227
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 2: side of it. But it's just as funny that it

1228
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:34,879
Speaker 2: says a lot about in New York. This is simply

1229
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 2: what if you've done for me lately? Sits that's had

1230
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 2: a magic run last year people, these same people said

1231
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 2: it was one of the greatest baseball seasons their lives.

1232
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 2: Gone Opening Day this year totally new, but also my

1233
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 2: my favorite trope of the whole thing is h this

1234
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 2: is a grander media marvel. It's it's fun to medi

1235
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 2: marbles again, letting the stuff out. So I'm enjoying this.

1236
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 2: You got a good laugh on an episode that's been

1237
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 2: doom and gloom. When people are like David Stearans had

1238
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 2: nothing to do with signing wants, so other pilanzo, are

1239
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 2: you guys? Are you guys fucking jokings? Like are you

1240
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 2: guys kidding me? Like what do you talk? James talking?

1241
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 2: Just you actually don't need a president of Baseball operation.

1242
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: Steve Cohen could just make all the decisions because I'll

1243
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: tell you what. That has worked out so well when

1244
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: the Mets did that, When Steve Cohen signed the guys

1245
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 1: that he wanted because he knew their names, that worked

1246
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: out so well, right the Mets Mad Mets won the

1247
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,399
Speaker 1: World Series that year. Surely, I mean, right now, would

1248
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: you take Max Shares around this team? I don't know,

1249
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: you said he's pitching? Well, probably not, because that.

1250
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,720
Speaker 2: Guy was dead to me. He's been looking good today.

1251
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 2: The best interview we've ever had, absolutely shout John ye

1252
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 2: Man sat Night said, behind these two guys tonight who

1253
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 2: were doing next to each other to grim shows or Mets,

1254
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 2: Jersey's kind of awesome. I was like, I know the

1255
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 2: Braves love to see these two guys coming. That being said,

1256
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 2: Uh wait, where was I going with this? What was

1257
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 2: I ranting about? Sure, Steve Stearns.

1258
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, whenever owners make all the decisions, especially about their

1259
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: player personnel, works so well. Dallas Cowboys are the most

1260
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: successful football team over the last thirty years.

1261
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, for sure. The Phoenix Suns are absolutely steamrolling

1262
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 2: towards prominence in the NBA.

1263
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: The Washington Commanders formerly known as words that we can't

1264
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: say anymore Dan Schneider, when he was pulling the strings,

1265
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: they had a lot of wins. Right, They didn't make

1266
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs immediately the year he sold.

1267
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 2: The team before Leon Rose took over at the Knicks

1268
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 2: like they were the staple of success in sports. So

1269
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 2: James Dolon at the Helm's making right decision after the

1270
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 2: right decisions.

1271
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: It's a good thing that David Searns is just a

1272
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: pawn for Steve Cohen, thank God, to make all the

1273
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:27,760
Speaker 1: right decisions.

1274
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 2: The bad moves are his fault. The good moves he

1275
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 2: has to get credit for, of course, And we went

1276
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 2: to the NLCS he got lucky, and this year was

1277
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 2: intentionally bad. When this entire pitching staffs completely fucking falling apart,

1278
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 2: He's trying to prove that he knows more than everyone. James,

1279
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 2: don't you understand that this, this to David Searns is

1280
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 2: not about being successful.

1281
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: It's not about winning the World series. It's to prove

1282
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: he knows more than you. It's the smart the smartest

1283
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: man in the room syndrome. I've heard that so much

1284
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: more on Twitter the last week. I've ever heard easy

1285
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 1: in my entire life. I can't wait for the next

1286
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: trup to get out there. But that was a that

1287
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,680

Speaker 2: Of people out there, light feeling. Now we can talk

1319
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 2: still a future Matt in my book. Like what you

1320
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 2: did there? Yep, Saturday afternoon four o'clock game, the Chef's

1321
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 2: Kiss game time. Mark's going to be there. Pretty sure

1322
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 2: I'll be there as well. Nolan McClain versus Brian Wu

1323
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 2: And then Sunday Night baseball and fucking Williamsport Clay Holmes

1324
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 2: against George Kirby.

1325
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: Clay is gonna give up eight home runs. Uh, they

1326
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: played in such a little park when they played in

1327
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: Blue Sport. I can't wait to see how many singles

1328
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: the Mets hit on something. I mean, George Kirby has

1329
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:43,879
Speaker 1: had a bit of a home run issues this year,

1330
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: so I hope he can stick with that. So uh,

1331
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: just so the pitcher's going here, So yeah, break it

1332
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: down for us, so the metsakers know, because we know

1333
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: Eric Shavas and Jeremy Barnes are not telling them what

1334
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: to expect. Okay, Louis Castillo, he's taking many steps back

1335
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: this year, but he's become the epitome of the chat innings.

1336
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 2: Either he still goes down. He just grits his teeth

1337
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 2: and finds just absolutely fine six innings every single time

1338
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 2: he has to. It's kind of amazing. And he's done

1339
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,280
Speaker 2: this while he's like lost the change up in the slider.

1340
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 2: At the same time, the both getting significant the fewer

1341
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 2: swings and misses his velocities down. The thing is that

1342
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 2: he's funny, just leaned into throwing high fastballs, kind of

1343
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 2: like he used to do when he was like twenty

1344
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:21,839
Speaker 2: four years old and he was coming up with the Reds.

1345
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 2: It was just a power pitcher. But he's lost of

1346
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 2: shape on it too. He's like a pure side armor

1347
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 2: guy now as well. It's just it's it's very funny.

1348
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 2: He is chatting's. Either he will throw you strikes and

1349
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 2: he'll just dare you to hit it, and you'll probably

1350
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 2: hit it hard and the ball will find gloves. He'll

1351
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 2: be pretty pissed off. But like he's the guy who

1352
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 2: I'm just saying right now, it's attack. He's going especially

1353
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 2: the lefties in this lineup, you're going to get so

1354
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 2: many fastballs or so many fastballs early in the count,

1355
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 2: and the righty's it's it's sixty, it's seventy percent fast.

1356
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:49,359
Speaker 2: Two seamers and four seamers good. So it's just it's

1357
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,879
Speaker 2: just fastballs really well, so well it's gonna be great.

1358
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 2: But also like the fastballs aren't like that hard the

1359
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 2: ninety five miles an hour, so hopefully we can do

1360
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 2: something about that. Brian Wou, I'll just say this right

1361
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 2: hand to got, We're not hitting Brian woo't matter what

1362
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 2: you tell them. Probable was one of the best pitchers

1363
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:07,240
Speaker 2: in baseball. I Brian Wu was like my absolute biggest

1364
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 2: play in fantasy baseball this year, and I've I've been

1365
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 2: done swimmingly because of that. Like he's he's just the man.

1366
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 2: The crazy thing about Brian Wu is that he's never

1367
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 2: actually been able to like figure out a consistent breaking ball,

1368
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 2: and he's still so so unbelievably good. He does the

1369
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 2: same thing I just said talked about Castillo, where it's

1370
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 2: just fastball, fastball, fastball, but he's got he's got that

1371
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 2: nice little flat, flat release angle, that low slot, and

1372
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 2: he just he just burns you. Wherever he throws in

1373
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 2: the zone, you're not gonna get it. Brian Wu is a.

1374
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: Really really cool look inside what actually matters for pitchers

1375
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: as well in college. And I think there's a lot

1376
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: of people that would have heard these numbers from him

1377
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: in college and would have been like, ugh, like you

1378
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: drafted this player in college he made thirty one appearances,

1379
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:47,720
Speaker 1: six starts.

1380
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 2: He made six.

1381
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 1: Starts in college at cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I

1382
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 1: don't even think that's in the Big West. That's that's

1383
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 1: not like a powerhouse by any means. Thirty one appearance

1384
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: is six starts, sixty nine innings, pitch nice six point

1385
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: three six ERA with a one point seven whip.

1386
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 2: The Mariner said, don't care.

1387
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna take you in the sixth round of the

1388
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: draft and we're gonna turn you into a beast because

1389
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 1: you've got the makings the stuff to be a good picture.

1390
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,280
Speaker 2: And that's all that matters when you look at these prospects.

1391
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 2: The biggest thing the Mariners saw Brian Woo. There's also

1392
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 2: great Priscier foolish baseball to the video on Brian Wist.

1393
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 2: College has drafted. They the Mariners have gotten really good

1394
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,600
Speaker 2: at adding velocity to pictures. Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, and

1395
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 2: Brian wu all did the same thing when they kind

1396
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 2: of just liked the way they threw and the command

1397
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 2: they had Wu, especially because Wo just has this slot

1398
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 2: which I was talking about before, but he makes ordinary

1399
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 2: fastball seem extraordinary. It's it is the Christian Scott thing.

1400
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 2: That's why I was so obsessed Christian Scott. When I'm

1401
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 2: still so obsessed with Christian Scott. Where is this slow slot,

1402
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 2: flat release and the fastball just jumps on you. It's

1403
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 2: you guys, haven't watched Brian Wu pitch like You'll be

1404
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 2: astounded because seeing that and knowing that they could add

1405
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 2: a few ticks to that, that that's what's made him

1406
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 2: into this guy. He still really hasn't developed that much

1407
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 2: as a pitcher. I guess actually has because now he's

1408
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 2: a lot better sequencing now, mixing up the logation and commands.

1409
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 2: He kind of works. He won tunnels really well, doesn't

1410
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 2: he incredible, That's the whole thing. But he's now worked

1411
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 2: a little bit better at like getting the four quadrants.

1412
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 2: Because you can be a tunnel guy and you can

1413
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 2: work all four quadrants of both sides of the plate,

1414
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 2: you're kind of unhippable at that point. Brian Wo is

1415
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 2: also quite literally the anti met in every way, shape

1416
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 2: or form. Brian Wu has thrown six innings in every

1417
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 2: start this year. He tied. I think he just beat

1418
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 2: either Tiler bat Clayton Kershaw's record for consecutive six innings

1419
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 2: starts in a single season. It's like every maybe in

1420
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 2: the modern erics. I'm sure I was.

1421
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: Looking at Gibson nineteen sixty eight. He made like eighteen

1422
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 1: starts in road throwing nine innings, and he sprinkled in

1423
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: a couple of eleven and twelve's in there too.

1424
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 2: The other thing about who that's very anti met is

1425
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 2: that he is good, fucking fiery. Oh, Brian Wu is insane.

1426
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 2: Like Brian Wu is one of my favorite pictures to

1427
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 2: watch in the league. I think this would be one

1428
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 2: of my off season YouTube videos, like the best watches

1429
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 2: in the league. Because he's he strikes, he's fast, he's barking.

1430
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 2: I think he's talking shit, like he's helping. He's like

1431
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 2: he's like motioning to his fielders. And then when he

1432
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 2: leaves a game, especially if there his guy's on, he's

1433
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 2: on the top step on the rail like clapping and

1434
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 2: screaming and like going and like the guys guy he's

1435
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 2: fist pumping he's like like chest lamming people. Yeah, that's

1436
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Like he's he's like one of these

1437
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 2: like just he's a young dude, he's still twenty five.

1438
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 2: Like he's a beast. He's so cool. He's an amazing picture.

1439
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 2: True again, one of the best watches in the whole league.

1440
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 2: Fun that we're gonna get him McClain one on one

1441
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 2: effort in that first Star, which is it's a that's

1442
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 2: a cool matchup. And George kirk George George Kirby somehow

1443
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 2: swung underrated these last few years. Haven't you felt that

1444
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 2: he has soared him good? Giving him any respect? It's crazy.

1445
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 2: George Kirby has everything. George Kirby's like making a picture

1446
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 2: in a fucking lab. Like he's the perfect starting pitter.

1447
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 2: He's also a New York guy who's gonna have tons

1448
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 2: of family here. When he started to hear a few

1449
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 2: years ago, I think he had tons of family in

1450
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 2: the building as well. You can't hit the ball hard

1451
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 2: on Kirby. You can lift the ball on Kirby like

1452
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 2: it's just in the fastball. While he's great command on

1453
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 2: in the plus philosophy, it's a hit able shape like

1454
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 2: it's it still is a good slot, but it's still

1455
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 2: you can definitely get around on George Kirby. But he's

1456
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 2: been and again the classic George Kurby quintessential one of

1457
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 2: the best pitchers in baseball since he got blowing up

1458
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 2: his first two starts off the island this.

1459
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: Year before we talk about the hitting Brian who was

1460
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: only a year and a half older than Nolan McLain.

1461
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 2: And that's crazy. Oh, I think he's like the same

1462
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 2: age as Brandon's Brot. That's nuts, that's absolutely insane. Now

1463
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 2: talk about their hitting. Cal Raley might win the MVP.

1464
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: Seems like it depends how Aaron Judge finishes off this

1465
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: season now that he's missed some time. But cal Raley's

1466
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 1: got the most time runs in baseball, tied for the

1467
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: most RBIs. I believe with Pete Alonzo at ninety eight,

1468
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: ninety nine now forty five home runs, he's got nine

1469
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: thirty ops and he's a phenomenal defensive catcher, really really good.

1470
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 2: Back Pete went ahead, now he's still is ninety eight.

1471
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: Okay, Randy Rose Arena casually having an awesome year. Randy

1472
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: Rose Arena is a very good baseball player, twenty home runs,

1473
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 1: twenty doubles, twenty soule and bases eight ten ops.

1474
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 2: Good hitter. We know he owns the Mets too.

1475
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 1: Mets have no idea how to pitch to the guy

1476
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: who chases at everything, even though he's walking more than

1477
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: he has in the past. And it's the second half

1478
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: of the season, it's the summer, and Julia Rodriguez is

1479
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 1: totally back. He is completely back to playing at that

1480
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 1: Fall Star MVP caliber level that he can be at.

1481
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 1: And he's a phenomenal defensive center fielder.

1482
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 2: So this is another one of my favorite things that

1483
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 2: happens this time of year is that the full season

1484
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 2: stat line can hide. I think he's done that with

1485
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 2: this Mets team, hide a lot of things that are

1486
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 2: happening under the hood of a lot of players. So

1487
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 2: Cayl Raley is still against tisically like the best player

1488
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 2: in baseball this year, favorite to win the MVP. Dude,

1489
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 2: do you know Cayle Rally's done for six weeks now?

1490
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure he's like only hit home runs. I

1491
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 2: think like at one point he had gone like two

1492
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 2: weeks where his only hits war home runs in those

1493
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 2: two weeks that is what's happened so since July first,

1494
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 2: it's a one sixty eight, two fifty eight, four thirty

1495
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 2: one slash. Not great, I'm just saying that factually, okay,

1496
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 2: But he's a good hitter. He's a tremendous hitter. And

1497
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 2: he just sweach other, which is again that's being being

1498
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 2: a catcher sweitach other when the home run derby's like,

1499
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 2: it's cool, he's awesome.

1500
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 1: Also also have Gino Suarez au Haaneos on that team.

1501
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 1: He has not been great thus far, but he's obviously

1502
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 1: a beast. And Josh Naylor has been really good. Because

1503
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: Josh Naylor is a very good baseball player. Josh Naylor

1504
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: has stolen I think twelve bases since going to the

1505
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 1: Mariners two and a half weeks ago.

1506
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 2: It's crazy. He's one of the fastest and slowest players

1507
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 2: in the entire league. Like he's doing he's doing the

1508
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 2: Mets so tho thing. Another great thing I wanted to

1509
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 2: shout out because it happened again the series. It was

1510
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 2: again something that drove the drove us to nowhere on Thursday,

1511
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 2: but was cool while it was happening. But David Andrews

1512
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 2: of Fangrass wrote the second great article about how efficient

1513
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 2: the Mets have been Ceiling Bass again on Fangrafts, the

1514
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 2: Messa like not that far away from having the most

1515
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 2: efficient based seeling season ever. Whoa, We've gotten thirty seven

1516
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 2: now in a row. Thirty six they flashed on the board.

1517
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 2: Franchise record and SEC gives stolen bases without being caught.

1518
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 2: We haven't been caught since June. That's crazy, and that's

1519
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 2: where one Mets were good. Then no series against the Braves.

1520
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 2: We're starting to be bad. Then it was also was

1521
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 2: he wasn't It wasn't a real caught stealing it was.

1522
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 2: It was once so they got picked off first base

1523
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 2: by Schwellenbach and got thrown out running. The second last

1524
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 2: time we had someone actually get the run out of stealing.

1525
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 2: It was Charlie Marte against the Cardinals two weeks before that.

1526
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 2: I thought he was fast good In June, I thought, yeah,

1527
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 2: I heard it was fast too, But we haven't. We

1528
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 2: are stupid good at that right now. But this Mariners

1529
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 2: team runs a lot. We've been one of the best

1530
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 2: teams defensively and throwing out based runners, so that will

1531
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 2: be an interesting thing to see in the bottom of

1532
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 2: this roster, my boy Dominic Canzo and my fellow with

1533
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 2: Tallie buck guy. I owe maybe two weeks to two

1534
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 2: that I just get to get two more weeks, two

1535
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 2: more weeks get to I mean, I gotta get there

1536
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 2: for South Carolina number thirteen, Let's go South Carolina. Who

1537
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 2: to say a playoff game would that would feed families,

1538
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 2: especially because it would be like at the same time

1539
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 2: for duel thirtieth birthdays. Oh yeah, I'd be sick. That

1540
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 2: would be incredible. That's actually that's that might be the

1541
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 2: trip possible. That could be the trip. But the uh

1542
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 2: JP Crawfords also, he's you know, he's a solid player.

1543
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 2: Jorge Polanco goes up and down, but he's he's a professional.

1544
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 2: This this Mariners team is mostly built on this pitching staff,

1545
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 2: and at the top of this lineup. They did really

1546
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:43,919
Speaker 2: well to add Naylor and Suarez. I think roster wise,

1547
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 2: you could be right. They might have the best full

1548
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 2: top down roster in the American League. I'll believe they

1549
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 2: can beat the Astros in a playoff series when I

1550
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 2: see it though, because they just kind of have like

1551
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 2: Daddy over them. But also this bullpen Is is quite good.

1552
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 2: They did add to the trade deadline as well, but

1553
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 2: it's not like in the past the managers had demon bullpens.

1554
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 2: This to me is not a demon bullpen. It's just

1555
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 2: it's just a fine bullpen.

1556
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, So Matt Brash is insane. You're

1557
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: gonna talking about best slider sweeper in the world.

1558
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 2: It's Matt Brashes. His is insane. It's funny that when

1559
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 2: the first time that we saw McClain pitch in that

1560
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 2: breakout game, that was the comp because the basically it

1561
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 2: was a little bit slower velocity with similar spin, similar

1562
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 2: movement profile. I was like, oh, that's it, and also

1563
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 2: like Gabe Spire too in terms of a lefty, disgusting lefty,

1564
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 2: unbelievable fastball, sinker slyer guy. And then Andres Munio's is

1565
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 2: ferociously good. He does. He has a bit of the

1566
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 2: Diaz in him young ds course, coming from Diaz his

1567
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 2: home organization, where he kind of is an adrenaline junkie.

1568
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 2: He likes to load the bases then get people out.

1569
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 2: Not exactly a whip guy, but he is firstly good.

1570
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 2: And they got our favorite lefty, caleber ferguson the deadline.

1571
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah another Buckeye, right, No, not just from Ohio. Oh okay,

1572
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 2: I thought he was a Buckeye as well. Just just

1573
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 2: a Columbus, just a Columbus. But and Edward the Bizzard

1574
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 2: that also has good stats. He's another just he likes

1575
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 2: to walk a lot of people. And the stuff isn't

1576
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 2: like tremendous. Fuck cal Ferguson was like thirty four. He's

1577
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 2: twenty nine. He played baseball with Prost's our age. I

1578
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 2: keep forgetting that. That's crazy. I mean, they're gonna they're

1579
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 2: gonna beat the breaks off of us, all right. I

1580
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 2: think I hope we win one.

1581
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 1: Oh fun wrinkle about this uh Mariners team. At one

1582
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,919
Speaker 1: point they had two Louis Castillos as pitchers on their roster. Yeah,

1583
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 1: that's kind of funny. Fun fact.

1584
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 2: And Diego Castillo was he on he's on this team? No,

1585
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:27,920
Speaker 2: he was like two years ago.

1586
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,400
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, no, I'm saying this season they had two

1587
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 1: Louise Castio's pitch at the same time on the roster.

1588
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 2: These are the fun after now, these are the funky

1589
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 2: hours of the Mets Up podcast. We got Frankie Peppers.

1590
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 2: I really hope so I haven't checked. I've I've I've

1591
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 2: been off trying to stay on social media because I've

1592
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 2: been I've been just I've been vicious on Twitter.

01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 1: You've been hounding people, shout out the intern doing a

1594
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 1: great job over on mess up sensational.

1595
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 2: It's been a bit forever because like it was always

1596
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 2: me doing it. So we just called me the interro

1597
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 2: and I had a bad sweep, like got the internetally

1598
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 2: fucked that one up. But say it altroll incredible. Ultro

1599
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:01,080

1600
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 2: no Frankie. You know what. That's probably okay, no Franky.

1601
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,520

Speaker 2: our lives at all times, you know what I mean,

1603

01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 2: help us on Monday, I mean it did. I guess

1606
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 2: maybe just maybe need to play every other day. Yeah,

1607
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 2: maybe that's what it is. They're playing too much. Maybe

1608
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 2: they're tired, they don't sleep well. They look like they're

1609
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 2: this is gonna, this is a this is this after

1610
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 2: one beer an hour into this podcast. They look like

1611
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 2: their muscles aren't strong. I'm just saying like you know

1612
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 2: how sometimes like if you wake up after like a

1613
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 2: really good sleep and like you feel your grip strength

1614
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:36,080

01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 1: the world, like I can't really even just squeezing.

1617
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 2: Sometimes. They Mets feel like right now they need to

1618
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 2: improve their grip strength, dude. That and like, did you.

1619
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 1: See how the Braves take swings. They they can't waste

1620
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: to hit, They're excited to hit the baseball. I'm so

1621
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: glad you said that because I was in the same

1622
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:54,919
Speaker 1: exact thing. They can't wait to hit, They're excited, they're

1623
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 1: jumping out of their shoes or like leaning forward Jerks

1624
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,640

01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 2: Like I want to see some of that from the Mets.

1627
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,720

1628
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: like you're trying really hard. Right now, the Mets stink,

1629
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I mean, I think they are

1630
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 1: trying hard, but it doesn't.

1631
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,360

01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 2: how all those guys spend the rosters together? I don't

1673
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 2: know what's gonna happen. Well where right now? I think

1674
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,759
Speaker 2: that while these guys are successful in the minor leagues,

1675
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 2: I agree with just keep going pushing them up. Crossing

1676
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,559
Speaker 2: Badge opening day center Fields next year. I think that's

1677
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 2: super and play. We're gonna do the top ten prospects.

1678
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 2: Maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, see when we figure it out.

1679
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 2: But he's a monster. But I think that the pitching

1680
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 2: conversations are going to be I'm excited for the how

1681
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 2: those are going to sound in the offseason.

1682
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, definitely. I got another one here from Gavin.

1683
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 1: Mess Up boys. Good evening, guys, this is Gavin. This

1684
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 1: was a tough series to watch. We definitely could have

1685
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 1: swept them. Milwaukee is just a good team right now.

1686
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,120
Speaker 1: They're really hot. When your hot, everything goes right for you.

1687
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 1: They did not with runners on. That has been a

1688
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:31,680
Speaker 1: problem all year long. The pitching sucked. The starters have

1689
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 1: to go further into games. What can go wrong will

1690
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 1: go wrong. And it's true they're pressing like crazy and

1691
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 1: when it rains, it poors. Let's snap out of this

1692
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 1: funk and let's go pound Atlanta did not do that.

1693
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 1: Let's go take the division lead again, did not do

1694
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,360
