00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: going on? I'll tell you what. We've had such a

27
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: weird season this year with the Mets were Game three

28
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: of series has sometimes been up and down. That one

29
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: was a little scary, but they still got the win,

30
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: which was.

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: Nice totally, but the Sanka injury puts such a massive

32
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: damper on this incredible play. The Mets are having on

33
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: another amazing series, back to back sweeps. The Mets since

34
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: since the sky since the sky was falling in Boston

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: when the game they lost to nothing after Walker Buehler

36
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: was ejected. We've played twenty games. We've won sixteen of them.

37
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: That includes seven games against the Dodgers, also six games

38
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: against the Rockies. Three games he's national three games Begas

39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: to Whiteesize. But still he's playing the best team in

40
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: the baseball and also the worst teams to have be

41
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: who's on the schedule. Since June came around, the Mets

42
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: have only lost two games. The Mets of just best

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: pride in being gay in general. But you can't I

44
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: don't know, I can't really think about how excited I am,

45
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: but all this stuff because the Sanga injury again, and

46
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: like we had Sanga pitching, Well, this is the one thing.

47
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: We're not the one thing. This was the main thing

48
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 2: we were worried about heading.

49
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: Into the seasons. How well would he hold up?

50
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: And the arm was holding up fucking awesome. Arm is

51
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: amazing arm, elbow, shoulder looks great. But it's just another

52
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: lower bother injury for code that is saying a covering

53
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: first base. I really can't get that bad taste out

54
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: of my mouth with this game.

55
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was streaming this game and I like, I

56
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: felt like I was gonna throw up. As soon as

57
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: the throw went, I was like, please don't get hurt,

58
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: Please don't get please don't get hurt. He jumped up,

59
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: he landed weird, extended his hamstring, immediately grabbed it, and

60
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: I was I was silent for like three four minutes.

61
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: I was getting war flashbacks PTSD of just all the

62
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: injuries that have gone on over and over again, especially

63
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: with Code I sang and you said his legs. That's

64
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: now the second time that we've seen this happen on

65
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: a play that he tried to make and be Athletic

66
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: ends up hurting himself. Of course Pete could have made

67
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: a better throw. Shout out to Code I, great teammate,

68
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: great leader, telling hero, you gotta go out there and

69
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: tell Pete. I felt it before I jumped in reach

70
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: for that throw that I felt something going wrong with

71
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: my hamstring. I don't know how much I buy that.

72
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: The throw in the landing was awkward. It was a

73
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: little bit weird, but great teammate alert Code I sanga.

74
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: Good to see that going on there. But what the

75
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: biggest thing that sucks about this is that Code I

76
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: was dominating the Nationals. He was having his way with them.

77
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: He started off c j Abrams with the first pitch

78
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: ghost fork in this game, and Cee j Abrams like

79
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: looked like he saw four heads on Code I's shoulders.

80
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: He couldn't believe that he got started off there. He

81
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: was throwing ephis pitches. He was throwing curveballs at sixty

82
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: nine miles an hour, he was dominant. Dude.

83
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: He had the at bat against keeper Ruiz. I remember

84
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: if that was the second, third or fourth inning, whenever

85
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: that was. But he threw three out of four slow

86
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: curse to keep Ruize to start the at bat and

87
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: then keep her got out on a ninety nine our

88
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: color and sang it like give him a little a look.

89
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: It's like you just like toying with these guys, You

90
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: just having fun. But did feel like maybe that was

91
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: a little baseball car for code that kind of that

92
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: good because looked like he was just having too much

93
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: fun out there and looked like he was going to

94
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: cruise through another amazing start. The IRA was down to

95
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: one point four to seven the second he actually got

96
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: qualified for the ARA title. Of course he gets injured two,

97
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: which is which pissed me off a little bit. But

98
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: this is also just a great reminder to everybody out there,

99
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: everyone listening, you and I fans people.

100
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: Sherman, right, Harrison. He put out the article I think

101
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: at two ten saying that the Mets have a logjam

102
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: of pitching. They're gonna have too many guys for not

103
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: enough spots. They're getting offers on Paul Blackburn they're getting

104
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: calls and feelers. Twenty minutes later, Code I sang it

105
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: out on the IL and we say it all the time.

106
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: There's never enough pitching.

107
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: There's never been a major League Baseball team that's in

108
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 2: the middle of a Penn Ray saying, Wow, you know

109
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: why I have way too much pitching right now? I

110
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 2: really have to get rid of some of this pitching.

111
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: The one team that tried to do that and thread

112
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: the needle that was the twenty twenty two Yankees backfiling

113
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: them getting Harrison Bata for Jordan Montgomery. You just never, ever,

114
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: if you're a team trying to win baseball games, you're

115
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 2: not trying to win baseball games, trade every pitch you

116
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: have because they're gonna break. Of course all they all

117
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: break non stop. If you're trying to win baseball games,

118
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: you never have enough pitching. And it's just this is

119
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: why we've kind of ignored some of these questions you

120
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: guys have told us about on Twitter and the mailback

121
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: episode last week, where it's like, whatether the Met's going

122
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: to do when they have all these pitches healthy, Like

123
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: what are you gonna trade someone who gets stocked out?

124
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: It'll work itself.

125
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 3: Out.

126
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: It always works itself out. Next week, Frankie Montos probably

127
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: coming back. He takes the spot two weeks after that serum,

128
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: and I just got to forty six pitches and another

129
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: rehab start with the Cyclones. Then he's gonna jump in.

130
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 2: It's gonna be regular six men rotation unless somebody else

131
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: gets hurt between now and then, which is also so possible.

132
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: But that's just the fact of the matter. Is you

133
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: only saving Grace with this code injury more so than

134
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: last year.

135
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: It is a bit earlier in the season. Yes, so

136
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: we might get Coded back for August. Yeah, what are

137
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: your predictions, because you were pretty money last year with

138
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: Code I about when he was gonna pitch and how

139
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: long it was gonna be out. What do you got

140
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: for us right now?

141
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: My guests, because we have no information yet recording this

142
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 2: at four thirty, right after the game ended, they're gonna

143
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: tell us six to eight.

144
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: Six, eight weeks. You're gonna say six to eight weeks.

145
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: That's I think Luke Weaver got the four to six weeks.

146
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: That's where I'm going. I think we're gonna see Code

147
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: I before the trade deadline, but after the All Star break.

148
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: That's where I'm gonna put it in. So July twenty first, Yeah,

149
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: I think that's a good date. That's the date that

150
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: I like. Over under July twenty first, over under, Okay,

151
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: I like that.

152
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 2: I will take slightly over, but I do think that

153
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: that's what we're dealing with. And also, you know what, fine, fine,

154
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: this team's playing amazing baseball. We're winning games left and

155
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: right again sixteen to four in our last twenty and

156
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: what was an easy part of the schedule, and what

157
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: you have to do an easy party schedule is just

158
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 2: punch down on it, and the Mets did that really well,

159
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 2: dominating between all these games they played against the Rockies,

160
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 2: the White Sox, and Nationals, they lost one total game.

161
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: That's amazing, Like, that's exactly what you have to do

162
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: when you're in this part of the schedule. Right now, we

163
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: have the best record in baseball, which does not matter,

164
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 2: but it's also nice to have city fields rocking every

165
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: single night. Like these are really good things. So again,

166
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 2: we wanted to get out this anger about the code

167
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: injury right off the bat here, just ripped this bandaid

168
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: off because that's kind of the prevailing thought. Right when

169
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: this game ended on Thursday. But things are good right

170
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: now and that we can appreciate that.

171
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I also thought it was really great too

172
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: that when Jose Castillo came in for code I afterwards,

173
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: big play by Tyrone Taylor again just laying out patching

174
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: that over the gap. He is so good defensively this year,

175
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: He's gotten to another level. I feel like once a

176
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: week we're seeing highlight plays made by Tyrone Taylor. He

177
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: walked today, got another hit, playing good baseball. He's definitely

178
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: a guy that this team. He's just not nearly as

179
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: good without. Even though his counting numbers is stat numbers

180
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: and slash lines may not jump out as a valuable player,

181
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: but him being that center field guy that rock right now,

182
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: especially when Jose series been hurt, it's been incredibly valuable. Yeah,

183
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: and Jose Siri.

184
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: Had a setback that was also announce starting this series

185
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: that now he was kind of getting close probably doing

186
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: some baseball activities. Now it's totally on the shelf for

187
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: four weeks. So this is this is Tyrone Taylor centerfield

188
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: for the time being. En Jeff McNeil centerfield because he

189
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: continues to mix in centerfield. But also right after that,

190
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: wh Jose Castio got into trouble. Wasco Brosmonk comes in

191
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: during the seventh inning in Wasca, brosmon once again, Strels

192
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: trans two more runners on also Brosbank got nice deserve break.

193
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: He then pitched his Friday. I thought it was nice

194
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: to give a guy like Browserbond, like six full days off.

195
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: Just take a little deep breath there for a guy

196
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: who's been rubber arm all season. He stranded eighteen of

197
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: the twenty and Harry the runners he's had this season,

198
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: which is a ridiculous number for a guy that's come

199
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: into so many, for lack of a better term, bad

200
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: situations and just kind of throws change ups over and

201
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: over again. It's amazing to see what he's done. And

202
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: we had a twenty two inning shutout streak in this series.

203
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: That was snap by Ryan Stanek in the ninth inning,

204
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: who has not been good. And that's believe that there.

205
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 2: But that's this game just is so overshadowed by Seyga

206
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: it's hard to even talk about the rest of it.

207
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will, then I'll talk about the rest of it.

208
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: Stannik officially on my watch list, officially on the keep

209
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: note list. His strikeout rates way down, his walk rates up.

210
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: He has no outpitch right now, and he came into

211
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: the ninth and looked horrible at absolutely nothing. Granted it

212
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: was c. J Abrams James Wood, two really really good hitters.

213
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: James Would one of the better hitters in baseball right

214
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: now in Major League Baseball, so it's understand what those

215
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: guys can beat him. But the fact that he just

216
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: can't really get these outs right now is a little

217
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: bit concerning when he is kind of the number two

218
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: option technically, it feels like behind Edwin Diaz. That being said,

219
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: other good things that happened in this game. That's jumped

220
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: out on Mike Soroka early I had to take on

221
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: my stream. I think Mike Soroka won. The Nationals have

222
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: to trade that guy too. I think he's gonna be

223
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: one of the better pickups at the trade deadline for

224
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: a team because after that first inning, he settled in beautifully.

225
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: That high fastball was giving its hitters fits all game.

226
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: The curveball was good. He gave up the run late again,

227
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: but in those middle innings when he did settle in

228
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: and he kept the Nationals in this game, that's gonna

229
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: be extremely valuable to a team at the deadline who's

230
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: competing for it, But shout out, Jeff McNeil, he got

231
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: a home run in the first inning. Good baseball player.

232
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: He gets a home run on the worst hit ball

233
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: of the entire inning. Brandon Demo smoke the ball one

234
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: hundred and six, gets caught. Yeah, Alonso smokes the ball

235
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: to right field. Home runs in Yankee Stadium. Jeff McNeil.

236
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: Ninety two mile an hour flyball to right gone, three

237
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: run home run. Jeff McNeil, good baseball player. Ops above

238
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,119
Speaker 1: nine hundred Still I think.

239
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: As of the end of the game it was at

240
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: oh yeah, well over nine hundred we got we have

241
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 2: nine to eleve there, Oh yeah, about nine hundred above

242
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: nine hundred tyres howebred on that one. But also that

243
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: pitch from Soroka that's not technically curveball.

244
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: He's throwing that.

245
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,599
Speaker 2: They're calling it a slur because it does have a

246
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: lot more horizontal movement. I think he's throwing it with

247
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: slither intent from hearing some things that he said about

248
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: that pitch. Also another Ryan Stanik fact. As he's struggled here,

249
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: he has not gotten a swinging miss on his splither

250
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: yet in the month of June. No, not swinging, miss

251
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: a chase. He's no one has chased that splither in

252
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: the month of June. That's kind of the key frame.

253
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: He needs people to be chasing that pitch. He also had.

254
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 2: Oh well, I'm also not wrong there. He also doesn't

255
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: have a swing and miss on it either, So yeah,

256
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: both of those things are true. But Soroka is good

257
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: sokas a guy who loves I love the Mets get

258
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: their hands out possibly at some point. But this was

259
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: a game I think as much or more so basically

260
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: the whole series where the top of our order was like,

261
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: we're just gonna be better, Like we're just gonna do things,

262
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 2: especially Brandon Nimmo these last two games. Nimo has loved

263
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: playing the Washington Nationals this season. Five five home runs

264
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 2: against this team so far this season, and he has

265
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: what fourteen on the year if I remember right, fifteen

266
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 2: on the year somehow. Also, brand Nimo has that ops

267
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: back to seven sixty after what's been a very sneakily

268
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: quietly good month, as everyone else in the top of

269
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 2: this order has been hitting well. Just it was very

270
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: good game until that night thinning that was chaotic, but

271
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: then Edward Diez just found a way good enough to

272
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: get through everything.

273
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny with Nimo, how as soon as you

274
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: slot him in the two spot, he goes back to

275
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: just being a patient aggressive hitter, like a patiently aggresive hitter,

276
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: I guess is the way that I'd like to say

277
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: that thinking because at the first game of the series,

278
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: I went to with a shout out at of Ernie.

279
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: It's gonna be his birthday on Sunday, so we'll make

280
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: sure that we give him a little special shout out

281
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: as being the official translator of the Mets Up podcast.

282
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: But Nimo this year, when he's batting second, and this

283
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: is before today when he hit the home run, it's

284
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: been eleven games, he's had forty four played appearances, he

285
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: has a near twelve hundred ops. Everywhere else it's been bad,

286
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: Like he doesn't like hitting fourth. He hasn't liked the

287
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: game that he led off. He definitely doesn't like hitting fifth.

288
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: That's where he's been his worst this year. I think,

289
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: regardless of whether it's a writer or leftyand of the mound,

290
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: I would like to see Brandon Emo continue to hit too.

291
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 4: Crats you look different today. Do I see Chubby's shorts

292
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 4: on your shoulder?

293
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 5: Oh?

294
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 6: This the sick design. I mean, don't even get it

295
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 6: twisted too, because the lining normally is like an SOS pad.

296
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 6: This lining that's in the center is so soft, so

297
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,679

00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: I do think Carlston Doza probably also deserves a bit

312
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 2: more credit than he's gotten for the way that he

313
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: reshuffled this lineup and instantly every single thing clicked into place.

314
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: And again that's against people like us who all off

315
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: seasons said this is the perfect way to draw this

316
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: lineup on so it has to hit it too. Pilonzo

317
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: should be in the top three, and it just makes sense.

318
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: But Brandon nimo force because we're not said all the time,

319
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 2: like we're not in the field that these guys, we're

320
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: not in the clubhouse. So Brandon was not comfortable hitting four.

321
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: He's not comfortable hitting four, and he clearly wasn't hitting

322
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 2: like someone that was comfortable in that spot. And even

323
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: if it's just something as simple as making a player

324
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: think too much, the second you're a Hither and you

325
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: start thinking too much, it's all over it. Everything's been

326
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 2: ruined now in that one shot. So it's nice to

327
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 2: see that as he's gone back to a spot in

328
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: the banning when he's more comfortable, and it does feel

329
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: like all of these guys are in which to be

330
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: considered a much more natural position now, which is very

331
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: funny because this is this has become something of an

332
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: old school, more old school baseball lineup with like the

333
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: shortstop who could do with all hitting lead off the

334
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: patient Hither with some power contact skills hitting second, the

335
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 2: best all around hitther three and like big evdp Alonzo

336
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: hitting fourth, Like this is this is a real This

337
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: is a kickback to like the two thousand and six

338
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: Mets line if that kind of just aligned perfectly.

339
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: And it's funny because we talked about an Emo moving

340
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: up hitting well. Jan Soto's hitting better in the three spot.

341
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: Nine fifty three ops, four hundred on base percentage, five homers,

342
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: four doubles in nineteen games is gonna be twenty now

343
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: again the numbers on Baseball Reference haven't adjusted yet. And Pete,

344
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: who you didn't think could be hitting better than he

345
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: was in the three spot in nineteen games, now twenty

346
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: in the four spot eleven hundred OPS, hitting over three

347
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: hundred with a four hundred on base eight home runs

348
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: in those twenty games, where he had nine in the

349
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: first forty nine in the three spots. So yeah, Carlos

350
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: Mendoza is something we noticed last year. We saw it.

351
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: You could track the turnaround of the Mets season to

352
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: when Francisco Indoor moved to the leadoff spot. Cerebral manager,

353
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: really really good. I love Carlos Mendoza totally.

354
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: And this is that beautiful part of the baseball where

355
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 2: it's the confluence of good and bad analysis, or where

356
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: like yeah, change lineup, hit better, but it did happen,

357
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: and nothing, there's nothing really to do for that. But

358
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: it's so cool to see the way Mendoz maturity. You

359
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: want to just work fully backwards. I want to talk

360
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: about the line Mendoza with the David Peterson game on

361
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: Wednesday night, because David Peterson complete game, shut out just

362
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: so fucking cool. We barely see these anymore. So the

363
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: fact that he was able to finish that one out

364
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: was great. But there was an amazing core for Mendoza

365
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: after the game about how Peterson, what had what came,

366
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: what went through the decision to send Peterson.

367
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: Now for that ninth inning? Did you see what this was? No?

368
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: I did not see because I was I was streaming

369
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: the game. So soon as it was done, I was like,

370
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: I need, I need a break. That was I was

371
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: yapping for three straight hours about the Mets, and that

372
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: was just that was just a great game, me and

373
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: Wardy ripping the stream together. Good vibes for the Mets.

374
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: So basically, Mendozo said that he knew he was going

375
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: to give Peterson that inning. He knew he wanted to

376
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 2: give Peterson ending. He knew he deserved that ending, but

377
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: he wanted Peterson to fight for the inning, even knowing

378
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: that he wanted to know that how badly Peterson want

379
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: that ending. So Peterson said that he went to the

380
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: into the dug guy after the eighth and was like

381
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: avoiding eye contact with Carls Mendoza because he was like,

382
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: I only want to look at me. I don't want

383
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: to think about taking me out. Sam Mendoza had to

384
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: go up and approach him and then kind of a

385
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: gob Peterson to be like are you saying. He's like, yeah,

386
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: I need the fucking ball, and that was kind of

387
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: That is again the beauty of the confluence of Carls

388
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: Mendoza brings, where he's aware of everything that we or

389
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: anyone else talks about here, process wise, numbers wise, analytics wise,

390
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: but there's a human elements of this game that can

391
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: never be taken away. And the fact that we have

392
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: this synergy between that for Corsonosa to be able to

393
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 2: marry these things in his mind and these guys love

394
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: riding for him and he lets them do the weird

395
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: shit that this Mets team loves to do be all

396
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: corny and strange and stupid, but then also lock down

397
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: and get to baseball and like have an actual coherent,

398
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: cohesive clubhouse that's serious about winning and clearly very serious

399
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: about winning this team win anything else. I think it's

400
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 2: overwhelming how much they love winning.

401
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: It's a it's a great blend.

402
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: What they have.

403
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: Winning is so much fun. I love so much fun,

404
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: like I also did.

405
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: I can't believe how quickly this team this year, this

406
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: roster came together to feel special again. Like I thought

407
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: the way that last season ended, it was going to

408
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: be like, wow, that was crazy what we just did

409
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: over the last few months. Like I didn't think I

410
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: would like feel this kind of infatuation for a group

411
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: of players again. And it's mostly the same guys, but

412
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: there are some key differences, but it's still just like

413
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 2: the joy that these guys bring to baseball. It was

414
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,239
Speaker 2: probably also comes back to a lot of Mendoza and

415
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: Francisco Indors's leadership at the top. But it's just like

416
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: there's so much like vigor with this team, Like they

417
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: love being together, they love being out there. They seem

418
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: like they just have so much enjoyment. It being the

419
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 2: ballpark every single day.

420
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: Well today was what is it Grimace's birthday? Was that

421
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: the whole thing? Yeah?

422
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: The one year, the one year since that happened, which

423
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: is crazy, that was even a year ago because the

424
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 2: Mets two. I saw a tweet two days ago, and

425
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's still true. They won both their game

426
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 2: since have the best record in the Major League Baseball

427
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: for the last three hundred and sixty five days, so

428
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: more than the season. I think it was one hundred

429
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: and sixty five games and they were one hundred and

430
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: sixty five. Yeah, one hundred five and sixty.

431
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: There it is one hundred and five and sixty and

432
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: they won today. So now they're one hundred and six

433
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: and sixty in their life. That one hundred and sixty

434
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: sixty six days. Yeah, so year to day.

435
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 2: Everyone loves the year in a day's stat but it's

436
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 2: us say like, it's it's cool to see. And you

437
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 2: saw all that emotion like pumped up by the fans

438
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: too when this Peterson complete game shoutouts happened. Huge crad

439
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 2: ass and why for understanding the moment and keeping the

440
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: game feed on, not going to commercial break when it

441
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 2: thening ended, and they got they did the zoom out

442
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: camera basically from where Gary and Ron were sitting as

443
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: Peterson sprinted full tailt out of the dugout first guy.

444
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 2: He was on the map before anybody else crossed the

445
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: foul line and the plays was roaring, going crazy like that,

446
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: it's all working together. And Peterson mentioned after the game

447
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: how much the fans have been like egging this team on,

448
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: how much they love, how crazy the environments every single day.

449
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: I think he actually said the phrase that it feels

450
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 2: like playoff games here every single night. And no, it's

451
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: an amazing advantage. Now other teams do not have this.

452
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we had boots on the ground again,

453
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: shout out Ernie. He was at the game. He was like,

454
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: this place is going is electric, this place is going wild,

455
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: and that's amazing here. I was there on Tuesday night. Tuesday, Yeah, Tuesday,

456
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: was there a Tuesday. The place was going absolutely bonkers.

457
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: I texted that you. I was like, if Pete ties

458
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: this game up right now, this place is gonna go

459
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: fucking crazy. And he proceeded to almost instantly afterwards. The

460
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: vibes are so so good. But again back to David Peterson,

461
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: just giving him his flowers of the kind of picture

462
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: that he's become. We kind of hyped him up coming

463
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: into the season, where like we didn't want to say

464
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: it too loudly, but we were like, Dave Pearson might

465
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: just be like really fucking good, right, Like he might

466
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: just be a really He's not the level, of course

467
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: of like the Trek School Bulls and the Paul Skeins

468
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: and the Zach Wheelers, but in terms of that next

469
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: tier's he's one of those best guys that you could

470
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: have right now in baseball.

471
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 2: And it's fun you say that because if you take

472
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: the last calendar year a little more in the calendar here,

473
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 2: because David Peterson made his twenty twenty four debut on

474
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 2: May twenty ninth against the Dodgers, we're gonna talk about

475
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 2: the mess love throwing these pitchers right back into the fire,

476
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 2: like that's what you do. That's what he did, so

477
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: and then I think that shows confidence in the pitcher.

478
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 2: So I do don't think the players feed off that too.

479
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 2: Another testament to Crossman does and David serains everything going

480
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 2: on since that happened, he has the seventh lowest era

481
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 2: in baseball. That's a two hundred in example, Paul Skens

482
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: is the lowest. Then Hunter Brown, shoutout Hunter Brown. The

483
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: eight No One was about Tyrek Scoogle, Chris Sayle, Franbervaldez,

484
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 2: Max Freed, and then David Peterson and then Zach Wheeler

485
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 2: and then number nine. Really want to get shocked, Michael Waka,

486
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: Holy shit, there's also crazy. Think about that that top seven.

487
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 2: I just that's five lefties. Yeah, there's a lot of lefties,

488
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 2: and it's like of the entire list. Of course, David

489
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: Peterson strikes out the fews batty, David Pearson walks the

490
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 2: most baddest. David Peterson also doesn't have the lowest batting

491
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 2: average on balls and play. But David Peterson just the

492
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: way he's able to execute his full five pitch mix, now,

493
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: the way he's able to get ground balls every single

494
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 2: time he needs in this game eighteen ground balls most

495
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 2: of his career, third most any pitcher's gotten in the

496
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: last three seasons of Major League baseball, which is crazy,

497
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: obscenees ridiculous what he's able to do so as ficial

498
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: to thirty pitchers with three innings, Like as the innings

499
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: kept ticking up, you were like, you actually might be

500
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 2: able to go distance. They just, oh, my god, he's

501
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: actually gonna be able to go distance. And Tyron Taylor

502
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: did save his ass that great throw home in the eighth, which.

503
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: I one, how did they not score? I felt like

504
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: that was the easiest score ever. But then great throw

505
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: by Tyrone Taylor. And also shout out the Mets for

506
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: being like, no, fuck that. Yeah, even though we're up runs,

507
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: go get the out at home. I thought they were

508
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: just gonna cut it and be like make sure he

509
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: doesn't go to a second. I love that the Mets

510
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: went for the kill there, fucking throw them out at

511
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: the plate. It seems like a home thing too.

512
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 2: You're like the crowd's going crazy as let's us Trampis

513
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 2: serves complete game shut out. Nationals also didn't score multiple

514
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: runs in that single against Diaz in ninth inning on Thursday.

515
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: Crazy.

516
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: They weren't really running on contact on and bottles on

517
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 2: the ground, like, yeah.

518
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: The ground ball to Akunya with their fastest runner in

519
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: the game, Yeah, on the team at third base, They

520
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: didn't send him home on contact. For a team that's

521
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: struggling to score runs, can't hit. David Martinez is mega

522
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: on the hot seat. He should have been gotten last year.

523
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: We knew that, but like that was tip the cap.

524
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: He's won a World Series, you give him a little like,

525
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: you give him a little more leeway. This man, this

526
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: Nationals team is managed horribly, horribly.

527
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 2: He probably should have been fired before they even won

528
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 2: the World Series twenty nineteen, that's true. But they won

529
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: the World Series, so he got his five years on that.

530
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 2: But just close the book on Piedison before he starts

531
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: to take shots at Nationals.

532
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: Just it's nails.

533
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: And now when we still don't have Sean and Ayah

534
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 2: and Klota saying is likely going to be out for

535
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 2: a long time, he becomes so so so much more

536
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 2: important to the staff. But I'm also I don't feel

537
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not like a frightened or up scary

538
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: or upset about that either. Again, like this guy's nails,

539
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 2: like he has. He pitches with a chip on his

540
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: shoulder every single time out. And I do think that confidence.

541
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 2: I think part of that is from the fact that

542
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 2: everyone's like, when's the regression coming, when's the regression coming.

543
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 2: I think Steve Goelps had a conversation and they piped

544
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 2: into the game last night. He's like I know those things.

545
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: I know I'm not supposed to be pitching this. Well,

546
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: it's like I make my pitches. I'm a tough at

547
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 2: that I get tons of ground balls, Like, what.

548
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: Are you gonna do about it? Sometimes good pitchers don't

549
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: need to strike out thirty five percent of the batters

550
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: that they face to be a really effective guy. Sometimes

551
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 1: you can cool a bunch of different ways. Oh, it's

552
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: we prefer that. I'd love everyone to be Jacob de

553
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: Gram and Paul Skeens and those kinds of pitchers Trek Scoogle.

554
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: But it's cool to see that David Peterson is legitimately

555
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: a good pitcher. David Peterson goes out every five days

556
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: and pitches. It's not necessarily natural bor and talent, natural

557
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: board skill. I throw harder than anybody. I got the

558
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: nastiest pitches. He is a very good picture and he's

559
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: an extension.

560
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 2: King, Yes, and extend matrix extension King. This is also

561
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 2: the first real home grown pitcher player development, full on, guaranteed,

562
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: put the stamp on and win that we've had since

563
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 2: Steven That kind of a little bit Steven Mats was

564
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: not a win. I mean kind of a windy page

565
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 2: like two good. He was the last left either a

566
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 2: complete game shut out for the Mets. Hear that one

567
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: after the broadcast, No.

568
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: I didn't because that makes me sick to my stomach,

569
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: especially because on my stream we were like, this is

570
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: like what we thought Mats would be in terms of

571
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: like big game picture, good era dog. Instead he was

572
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: like the pussy from Long Island who any time that

573
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: he ever got in trouble was like, Oh, I'm Stephen Mats.

574
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm so sad, I'm scared Steven Peterson fucking dog.

575
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 2: Yes, but that that Peterson has grown up to become that,

576
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: which is Matt never gave himself the opportunity to grow

577
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 2: up and become that.

578
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: But again, just so excited about him. Nails is amazing.

579
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,960

00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 2: Back to the Nationals. I know you were streaming, so

599
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 2: you missed this, but it did seem like there was

600
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 2: a moment towards the end of this game as the

601
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: Mets to hit a bunch of home runs. The Nationals

602
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: also have it won a game in Cityfields twenty three,

603
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: Like we own that ass right now. It does seem

604
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 2: like Jackson Redling. I don't think anybody in Major League

605
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: Baseball this day and age hits people on purpose. But

606
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 2: I know if there's one manager left in the league

607
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 2: who might tell people to hit someone on purpose, it

608
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: is Davey Martinez. And Ronnie thought when Jackson Relige hit

609
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 2: Pie Alonso late in that game on Wednesday, that that

610
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 2: might have been what happened. He was like seething mad

611
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 2: in the booth. He said that he had the inclination

612
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 2: to throw a baseball at somebody, like he's like, he

613
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: never get out this in your professional athlete. Afull announcing

614
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 2: clipped it and took it today put it on Twitter.

615
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: But it was it was interesting to see his reaction

616
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: that that did make me make me think more, not

617
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: that anyone was hit on purpose, but if someone in

618
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 2: the league is telling someone hit someone on purpose, it's

619
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: it's Davey Martinez telling a reliever to hit pi Alonzo.

620
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, we know that the Mets have had

621
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: some history with the Nationals and David Martinez and them

622
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: throwing at guys and hitting guys and throwing up in

623
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Again, and it did come a

624
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: little bit up and into Pete. I'm glad they didn't

625
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: react though. You know how you react back to the team,

626
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: You beat the piss out of them. And that's exactly

627
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: what shout, complete game shout out, go the fuck home.

628
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: You guys suck. They have good players, but that team

629
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: is It's a hard watch the Nationals. Like seeing who's

630
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: coming to the play, like seeing Alex Callers no scrappy,

631
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: but like Alex called Robert Hassel, Like Robert Hassell looked

632
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: not ready for the major leagues. I'm suyockey still up

633
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: there right now. Jacob Young, they didn't. He didn't get

634
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: the second on that throw. He's so fast. They don't

635
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: play good, clean, fundamental baseball right now.

636
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: Jacob Young, despite being so fast, is one of the

637
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 2: worst base runners in the league this series. He's five

638
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 2: or ten stolen basis. It was even possible he's been.

639
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 2: He's been a good based year in the past, so

640
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: I do think it's a bit of an anomaly. But

641
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: then you look at you like the Mets.

642
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: What I know what I wanted to say next, I

643
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: just said, oh, wow, Loud, I'm gonna let you finish

644
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: your thought.

645
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: I said, you look at a team like the Mets,

646
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: who were just as successful as any team in the

647
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 2: league as stealing bases. They're fifty six out of sixty

648
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: four as a base stealing team this year. And this

649
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: is also not a very fast team. Brett Batty took

650
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: a base in this game. Wan Solo takes his basis.

651
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 2: Francisco Lindor keeps stealing bases with broken toes. Like we

652
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 2: are so good on the margins, and we play a

653
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: team like the Nationals, who are so bad on the margins,

654
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: it becomes so clear about kind of the haves and

655
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 2: have nots in Major League Baseball.

656
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe how poorly they were holding runners on

657
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: the Mets were getting running, just starts sprinting, sprinting, taking

658
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: full fall on sprints. It got so ridiculous. Arbote tried

659
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: to steal third on the left with the left handed

660
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: batter up, got thrown out, took a perfect throw from

661
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: caber Ruiz. But the Mets really treated the Nationals like

662
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: they had no respect for them, like they knew they

663
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: were playing an inferior team. And that's something that we

664
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: have not seen from Mets teams in the past, even

665
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: earlier this year playing some teams that weren't as good

666
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: kind of played down to the competition. But they were

667
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: just like, you guys, fucking s think we're better. Watch

668
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: us play the baseball the right way.

669
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, And a big part of that, especially in this

670
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 2: game to give David Pearson. I feel like it's easier

671
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 2: for a pitcher to settle in when they get a

672
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 2: lead early.

673
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: And he did that again.

674
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 2: I mean, Nimo had the two homers, Lindor had the

675
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 2: double that he was just hosting on that broken toe

676
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: and sliding headfirst, kind of looking kind of funny in

677
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 2: the second base. He smoked through other balls one and

678
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: so Though another home run. It's just like, you know,

679
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 2: he's raised his ops from seven to forty five to

680
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 2: eight fifty eight in two weeks, thirteen games, thirder points

681
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: in the ops. It's ridiculous. But I wanted to ask

682
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: you a question about wan So Tho because playing this

683
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: Nationals team so much time has passed, you kind of

684
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: forget how ridiculously good that he was as national. Then

685
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: you play this Nationals team and you realize again how

686
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 2: this entire team is built on the back of wan

687
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 2: so Though in that trade, because you look at James Wood,

688
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 2: Robert Hassles in the lineup, but Kenzie Gorris amaze. We'll

689
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 2: talk about him in a second, but I want to

690
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 2: ask you this question, wan so Though, is the blank

691
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 2: best national of all time?

692
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: Ooh, okay, Wan Soto is he does, he goes to

693
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: get ahead Harper, right, because he won the World Series.

694
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: He won a World Series and he had a similar

695
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 2: length of career with similar it's not slightly better production, right,

696
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 2: So I probably put him ahead of Harper.

697
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: I don't put him ahead of Shirser. I don't put

698
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: him ahead of Strasburg. I think those guys, those guys

699
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: get the nod. And I think you still tip the

700
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: cap to Ryan Zimmerman. He technically was a part of

701
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: that World Series team. He's an original National. I think

702
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: Ryan Zimerman is the number one National talent wise, Wan

703
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: Soda is the most talented player, or Bryce Arp, Burushers

704
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: or Shrosburg, but I think Zimmerman probably is still the

705
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: right pick at number one. I think you also could

706
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: throw Trade Turner into that conversation too. He was unbelievable

707
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: for the Nationals as well. It just it also feels

708
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: weird talking about these guys because every single one of

709
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: those hitters has ended up playing for not just another team,

710
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: another team in the National League East. That's the weirdest

711
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: part of this all except Zimmerman. Except Zimman. Yeah, he

712
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: was a lifetime National and that maybe that's why he

713
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: also gets the NOD too.

714
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: But he's so if you're making because the Nationals are

715
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: a fairly new team, we're only approaching twenty years national space.

716
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: Anathy Rendone probably gets in that conversation too, which feels crazy.

717
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: He was his numbers with the Nationals were silly.

718
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 2: Definitely, but so though it's funny that he didn't play

719
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 2: a game for this team after return twenty three years old.

720
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 2: He's actually in this conversation, he gets on the Mount

721
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 2: Rushmore and he probably etched himself a place in their

722
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 2: history forever just because of how amazing cj Abrams, James Wood,

723
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: and Mackenzie Gore already are before any of these guys

724
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 2: have even really gotten into their primes. Nie, he was

725
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 2: talking about James Wood, saying, Wow, when this guy gets

726
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,239
Speaker 2: mad strength, he's really gonna be a problem. So it's

727
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 2: funny to hear that line.

728
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: But also, how about the fact that they're able to

729
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: go from Bryce Harper to Soto to James Wood. Yeah,

730
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: it's insane. Team do well, ridiculous.

731
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: That's kind of like what the Colts were able to

732
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 2: do with the Peyton mannic to Andrew luck where you

733
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: just here doesn't have a superstar. Here's a free superstar

734
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 2: taking out a superstar. But it is just these things

735
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: kind of come back up when we played the Nationals

736
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 2: because you forget so easily what Wan Soda did for

737
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: that team and how good he was.

738
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say a few things here. So I do

739
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: have National's career numbers pulled up. So technically the highest

740
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: OPS for a national is Vlad Guerrero. He's an expel

741
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: though he never played for the Nationals. Bryce Harper as

742
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: the highest OPS for Nationals players at nine hundred. Soto's

743
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: not appearing on this list. Does he not qualify? Why

744
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,959
Speaker 1: is he not appearing on here? On mb dot com?

745
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, why would he not be on here? Let's

746
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: see Soto for his career. Really good podcasting as we're

747
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: doing this on the run, I guess because he played

748
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: he only played five hundred and sixty games. Harper played

749
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: nine hundred with the Nationals. Wow, it's got it's so,

750
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: I think Harper?

751
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, double the games again to Arper did finish

752
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 2: out the Rooie contract or so?

753
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:08,479
Speaker 4: Though?

754
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 2: How the seasoned each Padres and Yankees while the cod

755
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 2: season and the COVID season. That's a bunch of games

756
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: off the top. But but again that what what what's

757
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 2: worth more? The five hundred regular season games or nothing

758
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: meanings meant that anything? Or a World Series ring where

759
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: you hit the huge home run on the eighth end.

760
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: If there's a Nationals fan here, let'sten to the convert

761
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: sation below. Who is your guy's greatest national of all time?

762
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 2: Or at least who's on if you're a Nationals fan,

763
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: we're not kind of the expos in national history like

764
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 2: who's on the Nationals fans Mount rushmoreations.

765
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: I think that goes Harper, Soto, Strasburg, Schers. I think

766
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: that's it.

767
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: I think that's an undoubt. No Zimmerman, Fuck yeah, he

768
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 2: doesn't have that ship. There's a fifth there's a fifth

769
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 2: option there, like somehow, somehow it might not be Harper

770
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: because he was not he didn't get that ring. Maybe yeah,

771
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 2: because if you have I think you have to put

772
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: su and you have to put Strasburg, absolutely no doubt,

773
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: especially because Strasburg probably killed my base career to win

774
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: this world so win this World Series, and Strasburg was

775
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: also the moment I know, the Harper moment was also special,

776
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: but Strasburg was first. When Strasburg got drafted and made

777
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: that debut, that was like, that was titillating for baseball fans.

778
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 2: For for fourteen fifteen year old Mark and James, that

779
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: was ridiculous what I was doing.

780
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: I rushed home.

781
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: I think we have a freshman baseball team game, and

782
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: I rushed home or maybe eighth grade, I remember what

783
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: year that was to watch that Strasburg debut. And I

784
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: was like in front of my TV, like four inches away,

785
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: like this is the coolest thing I've ever seen in

786
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: my life.

787
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it was. It was definitely stop what you're doing.

788
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: Remember where you were for Steven Strosburg. But all right,

789
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: that's enough Nationals talk. We talked about them for a minute. Now,

790
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: put a bow on the end of this series. Good baseball.

791
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: Everybody tell us about Game one being in the ballpark,

792
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 2: because that was games in tick.

793
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: I texted you when we got there. Me and Ernie

794
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: were at the game and I was like, I think

795
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: there's forty thousand people here on a Tuesday night to

796
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: watch the Mets to play the Nationals. Mackenzie Gore was

797
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: one of the best pitchers in baseball this season. I

798
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: don't think people were there, like I gotta gotta see

799
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: Mackenzie Gore like you would with a Sures or a

800
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: Strasburg back in the day. But I think it ended

801
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: up being thirty eight thousand people in the state. It

802
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: was raucus. It was loud. It was K pop night.

803
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: The DJ was playing awful, awful K pop music which

804
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,479
Speaker 1: I can't stand and still the people were going crazy.

805
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: It was awesome too when they had the comeback mon

806
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: Soto with a big hit, Pete Alonzo with the big hit,

807
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: Jeff McNeil with the game winner. I saw the sound

808
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: on TV because in the stadium, I was like places bumping.

809
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: It feels like a playoff game. I heard the pop

810
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: off of the crowd was watching the replays back. I

811
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: couldn't believe how loud that was.

812
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 5: It.

813
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: It genuinely was an incredible atmosphere, and so much so

814
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: that Andy Martino made a TikTok after the game, a

815
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: TikTok video being like, I can't believe I'm saying this,

816
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: but it feels like when the Mets, like in twenty fifteen,

817
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: were in the World Series. Like it feels like the

818
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: atmosphere of the World Series games has carried on over

819
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: to regular season baseball, which we basically have never really

820
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: seen in city field as Mets fans.

821
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 2: No never, And based on the attendance readings that we

822
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 2: have on ESPN because they put on the schedule for

823
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 2: every team, this was the lowest attendance of this three

824
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 2: game series was Tuesday night it was thirty eight thousand,

825
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: four hundred. Wednesday forty thousand, six hundred for the day

826
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 2: of peersing complete game shout out. And Thursday afternoon at

827
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 2: one pm in the middle of June when school is

828
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 2: still a session in New York City thirty nine eight hundred.

829
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: Wow, thirty nine thousand on Thursday. That's crazy.

830
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we put up more than one hundred thousand

831
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 2: fans in three games, three game weekday series against the

832
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 2: Nationals in June.

833
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: And if you guys at home, I don't think anyone

834
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: thinks this, but just in case there are if you

835
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: don't think this makes the difference for the team and

836
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: the players, I mean, just look at the numbers. The

837
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: Mets don't lose at home, say every game. Yeah, all

838
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: the players play better at home, Like Brett Baty's got

839
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 1: a thousand o ps at home everybody swings the bat

840
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: better there. It makes a difference. And I'll tell you what, like,

841
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: as a fan, how do you not want to be

842
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: at these games right now? Like you're there's someone coming

843
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: in from another city. You don't You're not worried about

844
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: that stadium in the Bronx, Like I gotta get to

845
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: City Field for a game. That place is fun, it's

846
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: good baseball, it's exciting. They have some of the best

847
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: players in the game. This is a cool place to be.

848
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: And it was like the food there's amazing, and the

849
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 2: beer's amazing. Everything about being he feels so great right now.

850
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 2: I had phone on not being in a game on Tuesday.

851
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 2: I was sitting like, damn, I wish I was.

852
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: I had two hot dogs and four beers.

853
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 5: It was.

854
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: It was an incredible night. And the Mets went on

855
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: a walk off and Jeff McNeil's back. I can't ask

856
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: for much more.

857
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 2: And that's when the walk off people tried to continue

858
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 2: the villain as one soda, not realizing that he's beginning

859
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 2: the supernova hot streak because he didn't run out of

860
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 2: the box hard enough. Shout out Brian Kenny for that one.

861
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 2: That's our that's our Michael k Memorial Media Marvel of

862
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 2: the week.

863
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. Brian Kenny on LB Network was like, Juan Soto

864
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: doesn't hustle on double could have been a triple. It's like, well,

865
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: if he gets thrown out of a third, it would

866
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: have been the third out of the inning, dummy he

867
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: would have the innings would never happened, the Mets wouldn't

868
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: have tied the game. I can't believe the wish hunt

869
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: for one one Soto. It's ridiculous, and.

870
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: People keep trying to click them be negative aout the

871
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 2: Mets button, But I think that button might be hopefully

872
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,919
Speaker 2: expiring soon, so I keep playing like this, but again,

873
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 2: shout out the Mets fans. Answering the call from Steve

874
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 2: Cohen being like, why isn't the place more full? I

875
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 2: think that was just Steve Cohen being a bit of

876
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: a novice major League Baseball owner, not realizing that the

877
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 2: pop always comes the next season after the good season,

878
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 2: the pet lace always packed the next season. But it's

879
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 2: just it's awesome and Edwards, Diaz, Reid, Garrett Wohred. Now

880
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: it's the end of this game. Ed been working a

881
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: scoreless ninth to keep the momentum moving, the place buzzing,

882
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 2: and it.

883
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: Was just dominant. It was like, hey, just sit down,

884
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 1: get out of here and read Garrett.

885
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 2: The scoreless tenth innings are one of my favorite new

886
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 2: things that happened in baseball. When you when a pitcher

887
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 2: can pull that off, it's just like, yes, that's incredible,

888
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: and you just do that, especially in the.

889
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: Home game you can bring it home. That's what a

890
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: reliever deserves, a fucking win. Like that's when I'm like,

891
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: wins for a reliever, awesome, give it to them.

892
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 2: It's just good series. We're so much better than that team.

893
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 2: We proved it on the field, rocking. It's a six

894
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 2: game win streak. Now, the two losses that we've had

895
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 2: over the last two weeks, we're both horrific losses that

896
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 2: we should not have lost the Dodgers, both by the

897
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 2: same score, six five two, which is weird. Like we're

898
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 2: in the whole league right now. A few teams are

899
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 2: playing better baseball in the Mets. Now, it's up to

900
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: this team and these guys in this in this building,

901
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 2: that clubhouse to be able to sustain momentum like this

902
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 2: to keep it going because you want you want to

903
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: peak early.

904
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 1: You don't want to get too hot too early.

905
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 2: Saying injury kind of helps that too, because then you

906
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 2: have the little pop later you need to have a

907
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 2: big trade deadline. But this is everything right now is

908
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 2: going as well as it possibly could, and now it's

909
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: just mostly about sustaining, maintaining momentum and staying high.

910
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: As we keep moving forward. I have one positive, one

911
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: negative thing, two positive things, one negative thing to say

912
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: about Francisco Alvarez. One positive thing. Shout out to him

913
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: and his partner. Shouts him and his partner, birth of

914
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: his daughter. That's awesome. Shout out to Francis Guavrez. His

915
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: stance in Game three looked more open. I think that

916
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: maybe it's anecdotal. We'll go back and check, but it

917
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: looked like it was more open. Love to see that

918
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: bad still not hitting well. The catching was putrid. I

919
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: can't believe he missed that ball that Edwin Diaz threw

920
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: the slider on. He's just bad. He has to catch.

921
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: There's been a weird thing going on this year where

922
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: the ball hits his glove and he doesn't catch it

923
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: a lot. I don't know what's going on. I still

924
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: love Francisc Gualavarez. I've had some people bringing like should

925
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: we send him down to figure things out? Bring up

926
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: Peyton Sanger. No, No, Francisco Alvarez is a major League

927
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: baseball player. He's going to figure it out. We need

928
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: him to figure it out. This team wants to hit

929
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: their true potential. Have all the faith in him. But

930
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: let's get back to the old Francisco Alvarez. Let's get

931
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: the best tattooed back on the neck. Let's get excited.

932
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: Let's have some testosterone. Maybe go out with Starling Moore,

933
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: Tay Knight on the town, whatever it takes. I hope

934
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: he comes back though, now that the birth of his

935
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: daughter has happened successfully healthy. Love to see that maybe

936
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 1: he gets his mojo back a little bit. And again,

937
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 1: if he's a part time player right now, I still

938
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: basically the youngest catching off baseball. That's fine because Louis

939
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: Trend's a great player. Luis Frans this year he's the

940
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: most unlucky player and all Major League Baseball with the

941
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: rate is crazy, with a minimum of one hundred bad

942
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 1: of the balls between the difference in his wobas expected wOBA.

943
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: The guy is playing amazing baseball On both sides of

944
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: the ball.

945
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: I do kind of like sometimes when he catches Sanga

946
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 2: more because I know Francisco doesn't block as well. I

947
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: think gaelps had a little anecdote that Sanga pulled rum

948
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 2: Alvarez the side of the companyes Go and said, hey,

949
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 2: when you try to catch me in the ghost fork,

950
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 2: never try to frame anything. That pitch is not near

951
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 2: the strike zone. It's all about the swing, So just

952
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 2: make sure you get down and block thata ball.

953
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: So it's good.

954
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 2: I do think that it's it's Alfare's was so hot,

955
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 2: so quick and with such a big prospect that we

956
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 2: were like bang, Development's linear all the way to the moon.

957
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: Now it's very difficult.

958
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 2: I think I said it on the episode Matt Eddie

959
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 2: that you guys haven't heard yet, but we did yesterday

960
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 2: and it's gonna come out this weekend. When when cal

961
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 2: Raley was Francisco Alvarez age, he played thirty nine games

962
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 2: at double A like that's that just gives a sense

963
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 2: of how far along Francisco Alvarez is this young, and

964
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 2: that we should just give him, keep giving him time.

965
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 1: And before we do it. Going into the Race series preview,

966
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: I saw a lot about Mets runners in scoring position.

967
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: Again this week's shout out TJ Stats, he put out

968
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: a tweet. I think about the Mets or all the

969
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 1: teams in Major League Baseball. They're batting average with runners

970
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: in scoring position, and I do believe the Mets were

971
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: twenty eighth out of thirty in terms of bating average.

972
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: He might be up to twenty seven now, hitting two

973
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: twenty one with runners in scoring position. Think about that,

974
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: Mets are not hitting with runners in scoring position and

975
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: they're still winning these baseball games like they have. Of course,

976
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: pitching is going to have some regression. At some point

977
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: things are going to even out. But the one thing

978
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: I will say about the Mets, and this is going

979
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: to build to your thing, James, the process with running

980
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: scorers position has been better. There's eighth right now in

981
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball and walks with runners in scoring position,

982
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: and in terms of swinging miss striking out, they're twenty eighth.

983
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: They have one of the best k rates with runners

984
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,720
Speaker 1: in scoring positions. I said WRC plus is around one hundred.

985
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: They have the lowest BABIT in Major League Baseball with

986
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 1: runners in scoring position. At some point things are gonna

987
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: start to turn. They're hitting the ball hard, they're barreling

988
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: up the baseball. I think they have the fifth highest

989
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: ISO with runners in scoring position. Like, there you go.

990
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: It's gonna it's gonna figure itself out. And I feel

991
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: like we're starting to see it more and more as

992
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: the weeks go on.

993
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 2: And we do keep finding ways to draw walks and

994
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 2: keep the things going. If you can't get the hit,

995
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 2: kick the can down there un less someone else get

996
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 2: the big hit. And this we said along, this lineup

997
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 2: is too good to be bad. And now this is

998
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 2: the natural progression of the season where now the pitching

999
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 2: has had a couple more chicks in the armor. Gryffin

1000
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 2: Canning regress in the big way. We should be fair

1001
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 2: that Griffin Cannon because some regression was due will happen.

1002
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: It's just it's just.

1003
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 2: Understanding that that's who he is. Like I think that

1004
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 2: home run he gave up c J. Abrams the fifth

1005
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 2: inning of that game was a really good reminder that

1006
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 2: deep down he's Canning. He's not as bad as he

1007
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 2: was last year. He's clearly not as good as he

1008
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 2: was this year, where he puts a dot fastball low

1009
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 2: and away.

1010
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: C J.

1011
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 2: Abrams, and he just goes out and get it because

1012
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 2: there's still a ninety two mile in hour fastball nowhere

1013
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 2: in the zone. Is that fastball going to be safe

1014
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: against a good hitter like Abrams? He hung that slider

1015
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 2: to Nathaniel loves just it's a good reminder that Griffin

1016
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 2: Canning will always be on the razor's edge. And we

1017
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,439
Speaker 2: should never pretend that we have too much pitching, because

1018
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 2: no one's ever had too much pitching. If you're trying

1019
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 2: to win a pennant, shout out Justin Garza, shashas Gars.

1020
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 2: We've trod about Justin Garza, so too much happens to

1021
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 2: then Justin Garza coming out through ninety eight mile hour

1022
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 2: stickers and ninety mine hour colors.

1023
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: That was awesome and like an eighty two mine hour

1024
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: like slider like that. I don't know where they find

1025
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: these demons, and I don't know what.

1026
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 2: Two options he's got two minor league options.

1027
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: I don't know where David Sergeky's finding these demons. But

1028
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: shout out Buster Posey definitely being old school baseball guy,

1029
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: being like he's been at the majors. He has an

1030
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: eighty r RAI. He stinks get him out of here.

1031
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: And we got two options for free on it. But

1032
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: to be free that their bullpen's also insane.

1033
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, giant balliculous raja abgery gets what I would do.

1034
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: But let's move on.

1035
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 2: Is get to the preview of the Tampa Bay Rays series.

1036
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 2: The Rays much to Mark Green because he hates the race,

1037
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 2: playing very good.

1038
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: I have a I have a radio rosarrated jersey closet.

1039
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: I like the Rays. They take down the Yankees every

1040
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: time in the playoffs. The Raiser. I like the organization

1041
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 1: and goodball. They also have played by far the most

1042
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: games at home in Major League Baseball because we know

1043
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: in Florida the weather gets crazy. The Rais are now

1044
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: playing outdoors because Tropiccannafield got destroyed during the hurricane, and

1045
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: during the summer especially, it just rains like for like

1046
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: thirty forty minutes at a time. Poors stops rating. Poors

1047
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: stops rating. The Rays right now have played sixty eight

1048
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: games this season, thirty six and thirty two. Great record,

1049
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: playing way better than anyone and I think could have expected.

1050
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: But they've played forty three of those games at home.

1051
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: That is by far the most. They've only played twenty

1052
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: five games on the road. I think there is some

1053
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: regression when you get to travel. Sure, sleeping in your

1054
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 1: own bed, doing getting your routine is really really nice.

1055
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: I'm interested see how they handle when they start playing

1056
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: every single game on the road the second half of the.

1057
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 2: Season, which is gonna be as strange, a strange thing,

1058
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 2: and no team baseball's had a basically every deal was before.

1059
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 2: But pitching matchups this series, a full SNY series. We

1060
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 2: can be happy about that because next week we have

1061
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 2: a very non s n Y week our weekend series

1062
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 2: next weekend, not to look ahead against the Phillies, there's

1063
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 2: no SNY games. So Gary and a Ron were lamenting

1064
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 2: today that they're they're going to call seven straight games

1065
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 2: against the Atlanta Braves next week, which is really really

1066
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 2: funny to think about. But pitching matchups this series Friday

1067
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 2: night seven to ten, Pride Nights to the Field, talk

1068
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 2: that play's gonna be rocking, They're gonna it's gonna be

1069
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 2: a lot of fun there.

1070
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: Tim have a lot of anti Pride guys. If I

1071
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: remember correctly, I mean the I mean day.

1072
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 2: I think that one of them is on the METSNAT

1073
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 2: which is kind of funny too, that is true. Yeah,

1074
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 2: and one of them is on the Mets now. But

1075
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 2: Clay Holmes versus Taj Bradley Saturday four to ten, the

1076
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,439
Speaker 2: fable Saturday four ten start.

1077
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: If you guys are going to City Field at four ten,

1078
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: have a tall boy for me.

1079
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: Tyler McGill versus Drews Musen bit of the NASO off

1080
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,720
Speaker 2: there and then Sunday one for the matinee, Griffin Canning

1081
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 2: versus Shane Boss.

1082
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: Okay, interesting, So let's talk about the pitching real quick.

1083
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: Taj Bradley. If he's on, you're gonna watch him be like,

1084
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: how is this not one of the best pitchers in

1085
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: the league. If he's off, you'll be like, holy shit, TODJ.

1086
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: Bradley throws down a ball batting practice, Yeah, like he

1087
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: he is one of the most volatile pitchers. And I

1088
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: guess Shane Boss too, is pretty volatile where he's either

1089
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 1: fucking nails or he's getting shelled. Like, what's the deal

1090
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:07,919
Speaker 1: with these guys?

1091
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 2: I mean, they're volatile in different ways. Bradley, he's gone

1092
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 2: through this thing where I think he's trying to fix it,

1093
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 2: but he just throws everything too hard and on the

1094
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 2: same plane, like Todje Bradley's a straight up, up and

1095
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 2: down pitcher. He has the fastball that every pitcher in

1096
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 2: the league wants, that misses bass at the top of

1097
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 2: the zone. He has the split that works off it,

1098
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 2: the color that just cuts a teeny tiny bit, and

1099
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 2: the curve ball is not a full twelve six, but

1100
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 2: it's still mostly a hammer curve. But the fastball's ninety

1101
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 2: six miles an hour, the color's ninety, the splitter's ninety

1102
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 2: one to ninety two. Those four pitches right there, that's

1103
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 2: eighty six percent of all the pitches he throws. So

1104
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 2: if all the pitches you throw move kind of the

1105
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 2: same way and kind of have the same velocity and

1106
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 2: all kind of work on the same plane, it's it's

1107
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 2: kind of not that hard to figure out which one

1108
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 2: you're gonna hit in which situation he is not sometimes

1109
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 2: he struggles sequencing with them a little bit. It's just

1110
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 2: you you can kind of tell what's coming next with TODJ.

1111
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: Bradley.

1112
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 2: But again, when things are working and he's locating perfectly,

1113
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 2: he is able to f hitters. He's he he's only

1114
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 2: twenty four years old. Still like this situation where it's

1115
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 2: probably similar to we just saw Gley mckentigore. People write

1116
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 2: these pictures off way too young, way too early. All

1117
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 2: the chers are literally was Jack Oars, Zach Ranky. Yeah,

1118
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 2: it's horrible, And then all of a sudden they were

1119
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 2: a guy turns twenty six, twenty seven, chick the grum

1120
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh man, this guy's awesome.

1121
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: Just like three four years to learn, I'm starting to

1122
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: put things together here. It's like, maybe pictures twenty four

1123
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: won't be as good as they are when they're twenty eight.

1124
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 2: David Peterson, Peter's a great other, great example of it

1125
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,439
Speaker 2: right there. Hopefully Tyler McGill, maybe thirty two, it's gonna

1126
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 2: be the year. But this is just and Shane Boss

1127
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 2: he just kind of loses the command a little bit

1128
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,720
Speaker 2: because it's it's a combination of the fastball and knuckle

1129
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 2: curve for amazing pitches, but sometimes just can't really figure

1130
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 2: it out. And this happens a guy Shane Bobs, who's

1131
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 2: dealt with a lot of serious injuries.

1132
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: But something that's really.

1133
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 2: Cool about this Raised team and Steve Gelb's is a

1134
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 2: good report about them during the during the Nationals game,

1135
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 2: we're starting to preview that series. Their starving pitchers have

1136
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 2: been the most stable, secure, and consistent and all of

1137
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 2: Major League Bay. They've gotten the most innings pitcher for

1138
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 2: any team out of their starting pitchers this season with

1139
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 2: three hundred and eighty seven. Their starter's e R at

1140
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 2: three point seven. It's not one of the lowest, right

1141
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,720
Speaker 2: in the middle of the pack, but again, that many innings,

1142
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 2: the most innings of any starting pitcher in baseball. I

1143
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 2: believe they have the most quality starts and any staff

1144
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 2: in baseball too. I'm double checking that one right now.

1145
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 2: They have the second most quality starts behind the fieldies.

1146
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: They are.

1147
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 2: They're also i think one of only two teams in

1148
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 2: baseball all year as well to only as six different

1149
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 2: players started game all season.

1150
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,399
Speaker 1: And this is the same organization that pulled Blake Snell

1151
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: early in the World Series.

1152
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 2: That quality starts with the fuck There's also the same

1153
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 2: organization that was using Ryan staneg as an opener, kind

1154
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 2: of perfecting these two three four inning at a time

1155
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 2: appearances from guys.

1156
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: But the big reason for that is.

1157
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 2: Because they now have a lot of the guys who've

1158
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,760
Speaker 2: kind of grown into these roles, something like Ryan Pepio

1159
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 2: has been I'm not gonna see in this series, but

1160
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 2: so consistent Drew Rasmussen are going to see Saturday. And

1161
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 2: when I said asof, I didn't mean that lightly. Drew

1162
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 2: Rasmussen is fucking awesome.

1163
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: And he was awesome before the injury too, And that

1164
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: was a catastrophic injury that he suffered, like people don't

1165
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: come back.

1166
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 2: It was the second time with John Surgeon. Also, do

1167
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 2: believe in the middle of that he had another.

1168
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: Serious arms there. I think he had cos I think

1169
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: he might have.

1170
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 2: And he's still pumping upper nineties again with an amazing,

1171
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 2: amazing shape on that fastball. He works the cover, he

1172
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 2: works a sinker, he has a sweeper and a curveball

1173
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 2: just to keep guys on. It's like he does and

1174
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't even look that astounding when you're watching him,

1175
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 2: because you're like, well, this guy's only throwing fastballs. We

1176
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 2: can't hit them. But it's a little fastball triangle. He's

1177
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 2: varying them all really really well. Something else that's going

1178
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 2: to be awesome to watch the series. From the race,

1179
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 2: I want you to talk about the hitters in the second.

1180
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 2: This team is the most aggressive and all baseball in

1181
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 2: the Bass pass. They stole the most bases Matrix Baseball.

1182
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 2: Josea Capierre, who's a part time player, has the most

1183
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 2: deals in Matorleague Baseball twenty five.

1184
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: They get on base and they fucking go now. But

1185
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,439
Speaker 1: the Mats what Chandler Simpsons stole nineteen bases in thirty

1186
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: five games.

1187
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 2: Part of it, but even still again Capierro's twenty five

1188
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 2: and not that much either. Like Josh low Steel's bases.

1189
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 2: The whole lineup Steels base is kind of up and down.

1190
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: Again. Channel Simps was part of that. He's not here anymore.

1191
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 2: But it's going to be interesting to see the Rubber

1192
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 2: meet the road with the Mets because, besides the Kansas

1193
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 2: City the Royals with Salva their president, and Freddy for mean,

1194
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 2: the Mets have allowed the few stolen base in baseball

1195
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 2: and have the second best cost sealing rate Freddy's even Baseball.

1196
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 2: So I'm very curious to see that strength down strength

1197
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 2: matchup what it looks like. And also the Mets are

1198
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 2: very efficient based nine team. The Rays are bad against

1199
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 2: the run game, so I'm very interesting to see the

1200
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,479
Speaker 2: game within the game, what happens with base runners the series.

1201
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Rays have an athletic team for a lot

1202
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: of good athletes.

1203
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 5: Young.

1204
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: It's a young team. It's a young team athletic. I'm

1205
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: interested to see what their bats look like on the

1206
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: road because Steinberner Field that they're playing in is modeled

1207
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: exactly off of Yankee Stadium, which we know is a bandbox,

1208
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,919
Speaker 1: except it has shorter fences, so you actually get even

1209
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: more home runs and even more favorable hitting. And the

1210
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: batter's eyes clean there, and there's no seats out in

1211
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: the outfield, so the wins always howling there. Cityfield plays better.

1212
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 1: Obviously when the weather's hot, the ball travels a little

1213
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: bit more. We saw that this series against the Nationals

1214
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: on some of the balls here. Jonathan Randa is one

1215
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: of the guys I think you guys need to look

1216
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: out for what a good baseball player. Barrel King gets

1217
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: on base, doesn't really chase too too much, solid it's

1218
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: all baseball player. Is going to be an All Star

1219
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: for the Rays. Junior Camon Eira really starting to heat up,

1220
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: someone who started off horribly to start the year. Someone

1221
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: were like, oh, okay, the breakout's not happening yet. He's

1222
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,399
Speaker 1: still twenty one. He's still so young. It's happening. He's

1223
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: gone off since May. Fifteen homers, fifteen doubles, forty one

1224
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: RBIs a near eight hundred ops. Outside of that, you

1225
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: have guys that can pop, like Yandi Diaz, like Brandon Lao, Yeah,

1226
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: like Josh Lowe. But this is a still very very

1227
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: very beatable Raised team. And I do think that the

1228
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: way the Mets have been hitting and pitching, this is

1229
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 1: a good matchup. This will be a lot of good

1230
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: baseball being played this weekend.

1231
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 2: Totally, and you do get a bit of a leg

1232
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 2: up on the Rays when you pitch a LEFTI the

1233
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 2: Mets won't be pitching a lefty in the series, but

1234
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 2: that's you get around out of the line until you

1235
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 2: get Brandon Louo out of the lineup. That's not happening here.

1236
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,439
Speaker 2: But this is this is an interesting and fun team.

1237
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:50,800
Speaker 2: I think I like Brandon law is one of the

1238
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 2: more more disrespected all baseball. He's He's just a fantastic

1239
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 2: player through and through. Also, we're getting the return of

1240
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 2: a couple of funny former Mets this series. Jake Mangum

1241
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 2: first Wild being one of the original memes this podcast.

1242
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 2: Jake Mangum, Joe Demeyo, I know you're gonna be tweeting

1243
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 2: about Magnum.

1244
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: I know it. I'm calling you out. I know you're listening.

1245
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: Joe de Mayo and Mike Mayer both, but.

1246
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 2: Meghum is a three hundred averages seven hundred ops, which

1247
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 2: is hard to do, but still playing well, stealing bags,

1248
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,720
Speaker 2: playing the defense, center and corner rafield, kind of mixing

1249
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 2: in depending on where Cameron Meisner is. And also the

1250
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 2: one the one appearance met edwin Uceta who's a reliever

1251
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 2: for them, and then really under the radar former met

1252
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 2: Eric Rza. Yeah, the Rays have done that thing again

1253
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 2: with Eric ors where he dawasatistically is one of the

1254
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 2: best relievers in baseball and it's it's kind of ridiculous.

1255
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 2: We're also also col Salsa, another barely a former met,

1256
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 2: but the former met nonetheless in this series.

1257
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. The Rays will take shots on pretty

1258
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 1: much anybody that they possibly can, and they usually end

1259
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,919
Speaker 1: up pitting pretty good on those guys that they go after.

1260
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: Christopher Morell met killer. We know that he's had some

1261
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: big games against the Mets in the past. I think

1262
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: that's pretty much it to talk about this team, right,

1263
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: Why should I have one more reliever, of course, Yeah,

1264
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 1: give us a weird one. Mason Montgomery. Oh yeah, yeah, weird.

1265
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1266
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 2: From the left side, this guy throwing the era is bad.

1267
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 2: It looks ugly so far, but from the left side

1268
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 2: he's throwing one hundred miles an hour with just a little, little,

1269
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 2: little tight slider on top of that.

1270
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: He's He's freaky. The Rays always do weird stuff. We

1271
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: always know that. Come to expect that.

1272
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 2: I wanted to probably, pound for pound, one of the

1273
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 2: best run organizations in baseball, given what they have to

1274
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 2: work with and what they get out of it every

1275
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 2: single fucking season. It's if they're a fun team to

1276
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 2: play against. And last season they kind of pulled their

1277
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 2: pants down.

1278
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: So I would like to beat them right now. Yeah,

1279
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 1: it would be really nice. I wish we had Jose

1280
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: Siri for a little serious revenge game, but all because

1281
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: it's still hurt.

1282
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 2: I mean, remember remember Jose Capierra what he did to

1283
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 2: Omar Nevaias last year. Well, of course, come on, you

1284
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 2: forget that was that was that was embarrassing. And I

1285
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 2: do know that Richie Pelacios has worked through a rehab

1286
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 2: assignment because he's brother Josh Placios, who shouted that Brooklyn

1287
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 2: a couple episodes ago and played the Pirates. I don't

1288
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 2: think he's going to be back for the series though,

1289
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 2: but would be cool is see he gets more Brooklyn has.

1290
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: Pilatios has always played well against the Mets.

1291
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 2: I feel like, I mean, if that's it Brooklyn, they

1292
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 2: showed they showing after the borrough Brooklyn.

1293
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: All right, I think that's it.

1294
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:00,839
Speaker 2: Uh?

1295
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: Do we have Frankie Pepper's buying a chance? I'm sure

1296
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: he's working busy, but let me checks. I'm the charger. Yeah.

1297
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: I'll keep talking here to keep the people interested. I

1298
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: hope you guys have had a great week. We got

1299
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,240

1300
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,719

1302
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,080

1304
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: Shout out. A sponsor of Draft neck Mark Mumu gave

1305
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: the family some sweet tickets for Sunday, so can be

1306
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,959
Speaker 1: going in style. That's nice. So we do got Frankie Peppers.

1307
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 2: Yes, let's go give me Frankie to close out the

1308
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 2: episode after another sweet Baby.

1309
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: It's Frankie.

1310
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 3: Gentlemen, this is Frankie Peppers.

1311
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 5: How you're doing it?

1312
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 3: Just staying cool on this extremely hot outside. You want sweeps,

1313
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 3: you get sweeps with these Mets. It's what we should

1314
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:50,439
Speaker 3: be doing.

1315
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 5: You can never expect it, but we're on the right

1316
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 5: track here.

1317
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 3: But it's unfortunate.

1318
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 5: It's it's one of those I figure out what you

1319
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 5: call them, fall victories, feric victories. Excuse me, Eric, it's

1320
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 5: really hard to see cords and could go down like

1321
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 5: that again. But we got reinforcements on the way, and

1322
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 5: just like I've got reinforcements on the way at home,

1323
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 5: I have some really nice grapes from a market over here.

1324
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 5: I'm trying to get a little healthier. So I hope

1325
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 5: you boys enjoy some grapes today or whatever your favorite

1326
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 5: fruit is. What's your favorite fruit, Mark James, what's your

1327
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 5: favorite fruit? Maybe I'll get you some when I get

1328
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 5: you some bowl in case. All right, boys, I hope

1329
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 5: you will take care.

1330
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: Let's go, Mets. Not to go off on a sidetrack here,

1331
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: but if Frankie wants to start the fruit argument James

1332
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: and me can go on for hours. Right now, we've

1333
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: had this fruit argument way too many times. Mark, what's

1334
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: your favorite fruit? Of other people? Fucking love apples? Apples

1335
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 1: are so good.

1336
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 2: I was on Mark, that's a fourth grade answer because

1337
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 2: of this your favorite fruit. I'm a big, a big

1338
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 2: mango guy.

1339
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 1: Mangoes are good, but like I feel like it's hard

1340
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: to tell if a mango is gonna be good. I

1341
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: don't know if an apple is gonna be good. Just

1342
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: by looking at it.

1343
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 2: You could you could feel when a mango's going to

1344
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:58,800
Speaker 2: be good, and when that mango is good, there's no

1345
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 2: better fruit even.

1346
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: Closer to with. My bad take with mangoes is always

1347
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: that I just prefer Rita's mango Italian ice better than

1348
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: actual mangoes. It tastes so much better. It's probably all

1349
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: the sugar in the candy.

1350
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:10,439
Speaker 2: But yeah, you guys, downd Off in the comments tells,

1351
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 2: but your favorite fruit are and Trashmark for having a

1352
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 2: fourth grade fruit opinion.

1353
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: I tried to buy some fruit recently. I went, I

1354
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: got grapes and blueberries. The blueberries were fucking terrible. They

1355
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,240
Speaker 1: were disgusting. There were mealy and they had no flavor

1356
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: the grapes. I left them the refager for a day.

1357
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: They went completely bad instantly, I bought bad grapes, So

1358
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: I bought bad grapes. That's what you said about that?

1359
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: Are you're a greener red grape guy? I like both

1360
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 1: by always kew towards the red, and I'm buying him

1361
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 1: most interesting. Okay, I'm a green grape. I love the

1362
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 1: most funny if. I one of my big moves.

1363
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 2: I love bringing grapes to a party because I think

1364
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 2: people always like are shocked by that nice like a

1365
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 2: nice daytime hang with the fellas. I was just bring

1366
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 2: a bag of grapes down there, and he's has a

1367
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 2: few times. I think great green grapes are much better

1368
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 2: social grape, a little more poo like grape. Like I like,

1369
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 2: I keep reread grape for my own fridge. You keep

1370
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 2: them all for yourself. You share those grapes all right?

1371
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: Next time? The next time, bring a combo pack. But yeah,

1372
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 1: I love I do love grapes. Grape.

1373
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 2: Itsha, It's just a good, easy, non issue fruits. The

1374
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 2: problem with mango is it takes a lot of work.

1375
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:10,919
Speaker 2: But that's why another reason why, it's why it's worth

1376
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 2: the reward. That's why it's worth the reward. But great,

1377
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 2: like pineapple is the best flavor, without a doubt. Pineapples sensational,

1378
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 2: but that it's just, it's just, it's a mess. It's

1379
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 2: an absolute pomegrant too. Pomegrant's a fiasco every single time.

1380
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 2: It looks like there's blood on the walls. This question

1381
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:25,240
Speaker 2: of pomegranate juice everywhere.

1382
