Speaker 2: that towards the end of the episode, but we just

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 2: kind of want to recap what was an insane first

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 2: half for the New York Mets to start the twenty

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,200

10

Speaker 2: second half. We've got the trade deadline. We just did

Speaker 2: and I'm gonna ask James some random, awful tiktokie questions

Speaker 2: want to do that. Hey, how you doing bullshit that

30
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: we normally do. Let's talk about the Mets. That wasn't

31
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 2: even three hours ago. It was fucking like nine hours ago.

32
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: I mean, listen when I'm now in air conditioning. For

33
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: those of you who have you changed locations, I've changed locations,

34
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: I've changed states. I'm in, I'm underground as opposed to

35
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: above grounds. It's a great day right now. I'm loving this.

36
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: It's like sixty five in the basement. It's amazing. It's

37
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: too fucking cold. But again, one recap the first half first,

38
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: few guys before we really previous second half, because the

39
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: Mets just had one of the most completely ridiculous batch

40
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: of crazy first half of baseball that not even just

41
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: the Mets I have ever had I think almost any

42
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: baseball team in the last decade has ever had it

43
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: is crazy. I mean, I just got a brain blast tweet.

44
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: I know you listed out the crazy shit from first

45
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: half is exactly how you said it. Do you want

46
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: to do you want to have a draft, you want

47
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: to draft the craziest things that happened in the first half.

48
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: Let's just draft the craziest things happened in the first half. Now,

49
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: we kind of have our the cue right here, like

50
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 2: we have all we have the roster in front of us.

51
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna flip a coin on

52
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: Google to see who gets the first pick. Let's go

53
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: ahead and do flip a coin. Good podcasting. We're doing

54
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 2: this literally on the fly. I'm I'll let you talk

55
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: while I pull it up. I mean, if you talk

56
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: about watch, just give me heads. I'm ready to go.

57
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: You want heads, Okay, it's heads. Yeah, you got the

58
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: first pick? It all right, first pick? Crazy things that

59
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: happened the first half. I think that's very easy. It

60
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 2: has to be Jorge Lopez. I am the worst. I

61
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: am the worst fucking teammate in the league.

62
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: I think I've been looking the worst deam in brought

63
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: in the whole MLB.

64
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: So I think that's easily the craziest thing that happened

65
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: is so far this in the Mets season, in the

66
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: baseball season, for anybody that forgot or like we say

67
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: all the time, was just in a coma for the

68
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: first half and woke up. Now we're like, oh, the

69
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: Mets a few games over five hundred. This is fun.

70
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: Hory Lopez blew like the Mets swat fourth game in

71
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 2: like a week and a half against the Dodgers in

72
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 2: the day game. It was a day Rangers Panthers, No

73
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: it Hurricanes. I don't remember what series it was. It

74
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: was like the day of a Rangers playoff game, that's

75
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 2: day game into that game of night. And he got

76
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: taken out of the game, untucked his jersey on the field,

77
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: threw his hat, and threw his glove over the net

78
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: into the stands, and then got on the microphone press

79
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: conference after the game as locker, and then Steve Gelps

80
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: took the wrong quote and ran with it and went

81
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: super viralent. He said, I played for the worst fucking

82
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: team in MLB and then was removed from the team

83
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: shortly after. And I don't believe he's been picked up

84
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: by anybody since either, So no, I think he's pitching

85
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: a triple A and the Cups. Okay, so someone to

86
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: pick him up. But Cubs haven't been very good, So

87
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: maybe there's a maybe there's a little stinct to Horriy

88
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: Lopez that we weren't too aware of. All Right, Horriy

89
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: Lopez is pick number one? Am I gonna am? I

90
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: gonna run it back? We're going snake here? Do I

91
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: get two in a row? Yeah? Of course, no sense.

92
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with Grimace for my first round pick.

93
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: The fact that this fat blob that is a a

94
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: secondary character to Ronald McDonald of the McDonald's franchise completely

95
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: turned this team around. The most purple thing this team's

96
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: done all year during the the Pride month, and there's

97
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: there's thoughts that Grimmas might even be gay himself. I mean,

98
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: grimm has turned this Grimmas turned this team around. Since

99
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: they got him, they've been one of the best teams

100
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: in baseball, one of the best offenses in baseball. Does

101
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: it coincide with Brandon Nemo and Francisco Lindor playing MVP

102
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: caliber baseball? For sure? Are we going to credit a

103
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: purple creature instead. For sure, we're Mets fans, we like

104
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 2: to not give our stars credit and give it to

105
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: ancillary characters instead. So I'm gonna go with Grimmas as

106
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: my first pick here in the first round. Second one, man,

107
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: there's do I want to like just pick like a

108
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: good I think I think I'm gonna keep with the

109
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: good vibes. I'm gonna pi Jose Glacias. Oh my god,

110
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: we Jose Glacias gets called up from Triple A completely

111
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: changes the vibes of this team. Apparently, was a huge

112
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: reason why Mark Vientos is even playing well. Just kept

113
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: his head level and straight through all the tough times

114
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: that he had going on Triple A. It's been kind

115
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: of a leader. And he's also a Latin pop star

116
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: now with his his hit single OMG. Performed it on

117
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: the on the field after a game, which only the

118
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: Mets would ever have a player do a concert after

119
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: they win a Friday night game, Like it's just so insane.

120
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: But since he's got here, the vibe has been incredible

121
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: and he has been a more valuable player than Luisa Rise. Yeah,

122
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: very much more valuable player. Jose Glacias, the show is

123
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 2: so big now. He did it an All Star weekend too.

124
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: In fucking texts Joeyotan, he took a picture with him

125
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: at the OMG side. I gotta meet hose Iglasiasjose Glacias

126
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: went to the All Star Game not as a player

127
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: while he is still a player, which is just the

128
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 2: most amazing thing. But that was definitely the next one

129
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: on my board. Now I gotta think, so I'm going

130
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: to do one that's really stupid. First thing right here,

131
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: Julio Tehran started the game for the Mets this season.

132
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: Interest that was probably one of the craziest things. He

133
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: didn't get out a third inning on a weekday game

134
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 2: in Atlanta, and he did not picture the Mets at

135
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: all after that either. And they won that game. They

136
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: came back, and that was like such a sick come

137
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: back win. I was in Florida with my cousin and

138
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: my dad on vacation and we're watching the game. We're like,

139
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: oh my god, here it goes together, like they're coming back,

140
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: They're doing this. I was in I watched the guy.

141
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 2: I watched the replay of the game in the morning

142
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 2: on a bus to a water fall. But that was

143
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: my next one, just the amazing thing this year that

144
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: Julia Tehran started a game for the New York Mets,

145
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: and then next one. See, now we can go basically

146
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: in any direction here. I think I'm gonna go with

147
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 2: April Reied Garrett. April Red Garrett is a pitcher that

148
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: we might remember for the rest of our lives, depending

149
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: on how the season winds up. If righerret winds up

150
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: riding the ship this year, becoming like a worthwhile seventh

151
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: inning guy down the stretch, the Mets make the playoffs,

152
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: he pitches some big innings, then he'll always be like, oh,

153
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 2: Righer had that really nice year. But if he doesn't

154
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: return to form and like this fatigue as elbow inflammation

155
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: stays and he just becomes the guy who for six

156
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: weeks to start the year the fifty percent strikeout rate

157
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: and like basically and still leads the Mets and pitcher wins.

158
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 2: Still on July's eighteenth, you guys are listening, leads the

159
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: Mets and pitcher wins with seven. That will just now

160
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: go down as one of the most amazing things that

161
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 2: we ever remember for like a single moment a stupid

162
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: Mets season. So April Riegarrett's my next pick. I gotta say,

163
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,119
Speaker 2: in true James and Mark fashion, you're focused very on field.

164
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,559
Speaker 2: I'm focused very off the field because my next pick,

165
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: Seymour Wiener. I mean, there's just no doubt that one

166
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: of our biggest tweets ever is not gonna be one

167
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: of my picks. This, this old man, this veteran Unopening

168
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: Day comes out to be honored, given a flag by

169
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 2: a Mets player and his name Seymour Wiener, and immediately

170
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: takes the internet by storm. Sparks a special hot dog

171
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: promotion that the Mets do during a game that apparently

172
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: got out of control as well, shout out Seymour Wiener

173
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: if he wants to come on the podcast open Invitation,

174
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: I'll come to you, Seymour. Well, we'll find you. We'll

175
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: do it wherever you need it to be. I doubt

176
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: he's getting on stream yard, but that one's definitely gotta

177
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: be on there. And then ooh, what's the next one

178
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do again? I really like the chaos ones here.

179
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: I think I think I'm gonna go with Joey Wendell.

180
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Joey Wendall. Remember he was on this team.

181
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: Remember they chose to play him over Jose Iglesias. I

182
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: mean it's like almost racist, but like the fact that

183
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: this guy almost almost the fact that this guy got

184
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: given a shot is borderline insane. Like he was terrible

185
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: with the Marlins last year. We probably should have known

186
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: that his career was over when he could barely crack

187
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: an horrendous lineup, even though they somehow made the playoffs.

188
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: And then they he was like I think the first

189
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: guy David Stern signed, which is crazy because everybody else

190
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: has basically been good except for Joey Wendall, which was

191
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: the first move he made. Just felt like he really

192
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: rushed because he wanted to cut you or may and

193
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: make sure everybody knew that we didn't want that guy

194
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: around either. It was it was bizarre. And then he

195
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: played for the Braves because the Braves tried to do

196
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: their voodoo magic and it didn't work, and that was amazing.

197
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: You're confused, No, Joey Wendall was also a Brave and

198
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 2: Zach Short, Yeah, and Zach short, both of them. I thought,

199
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: just Zack short, like that's almost racist, that's big, all right.

200
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: I think it was just Ac Short for sure. But

201
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: my last one. This is an extra stupid one because

202
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: this is just one of those little things that happens.

203
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: You're like, why did that happen? That really happen? That

204
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 2: crazy play? I think it was in May, early May,

205
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: when Pelonzo was come home and a sacrifice fly in

206
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 2: the ninth inning and just basically missed home play. I

207
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: don't play that he tied the game for the Mets

208
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: where he was like six inches from home play before

209
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: the ball was in the catcher's mit and he somehow

210
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: just found a way to miss it. So that's just

211
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: that's just PP and Pte something ridiculous that that happened

212
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: this season. I just can't even recall. And then honorable

213
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 2: mentions here, I think to endorse last pick. You last part.

214
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: That was my last pick. I'm done. No, you only

215
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: have four, you have one more. Oh, we're doing five.

216
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: It's do five. You gotta do five. That's a good round. Yah,

217
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: I figur we would do four. Reach right, my last one.

218
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: I think it's a Francisco endor Standing ovation because Francisco

219
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 2: Indor like the worst two weeks of his career. He

220
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 2: had like two hits in fifty five sixty at bats,

221
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,479
Speaker 2: which is shocking, even just in terms of a luck standpoint,

222
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 2: and for the for the third straight year, the entire

223
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: fan base turned on him for some reason. Just seems

224
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: like something that happens if he ever if he hasn't

225
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: hit four hundred, So yeah, different. And then we gave

226
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: him a Twitter Mets came together, Mets Twitter gave Francisco

227
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: endor standing ovation. And since that happened, he's basically the

228
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: best player in baseball, a least the best player in

229
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: the National League. So shatouwt Mets fans for being positive

230
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 2: and helping him through that. Yeah, rare positive moment there

231
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: by the Mets fans, who we know sometimes don't like

232
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 2: Francisco Lindor for no reason. Final pick. I think we

233
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: got a lot of value here Edwin Diaz being objective

234
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: for sicky stuff and just the fact that his season

235
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 2: has been chaos. It's been insane. There's been nothing normal

236
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 2: about Edwin Diaz's first season back after a freak injury.

237
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 2: Uh that that's gonna be my last pick. I hope

238
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: he turns around in the second half. I hope we

239
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: get the old Edwin Diaz back, because my heart can't

240
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: handle this. This Edwin ts this is this is almost

241
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: Mark can't watch Edwin Das moments again. But I even

242
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: can't watch for different reasons because its not like it

243
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: is like you don't trust him. Like back in the day,

244
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 2: I remember you really not trusting Edwin Das. It was

245
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: pretty warranted. But now this is just like I don't

246
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: know what's going to happen, Like it's not like we

247
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: used to love Edwin Diaz because it was I can

248
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 2: take a deep breath in ninth inning and I don't

249
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: think any Mets fans have ever done that basically in

250
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: their lives. And now we're right back and just I

251
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: don't know what's gonna happen right here. Yeah, I mean

252
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: I was tempted to take another Opening Day moment, the

253
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: Hoskins Jeff McNeil slide, but I think that killed Jeff McNeil,

254
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: so I did not take that one. But just some

255
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: of the other stuff that's on this list from the

256
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 2: crazy first half, I'll take a few here, James, you

257
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: can fill in some of the others. So we had

258
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: the Hoskins Jeff McNeil slide and fight. Also, remember when

259
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 2: Avenue Rebay got that saving Game two and like did

260
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 2: like a fucking gun thing to the Mets dugout that. Now, yeah,

261
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 2: he's not even good anymore, apparently. How about when the

262
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 2: Mets started zero and five and then Peter A Lonzo

263
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: with the home run on the Red Garrett saved day,

264
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: was gonna went on a date that day and I

265
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 2: was freaking out because it was in the corner of

266
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: my eye, and I'm like, yes, what's going on. I'm like,

267
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: Peter A lons A just said a big home run,

268
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 2: Mets are gonna win the first game of the year.

269
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: I think that was also when I was still on

270
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: that trip and you we podcasted after you did that

271
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: date when I woke up like two in the morning

272
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: for you and I ate in the morning for those

273
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 2: that was a two date day. So yes, there goes Mark,

274
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: There goes Mark. You remember when Michael Tonkin pitched her

275
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: with this team sleep or sell fucking asshole? Yeah I do.

276
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: He just kept coming in extra innings with the man

277
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: out based and Chakra kept giving up runs. It's nice

278
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: to think about back in like that that string in

279
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 2: April when things were bad. How how much it seems

280
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 2: like Carlos Mendoz has grown a short period of time

281
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 2: as a manager. How much more comfortable he's gotten, how

282
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 2: much better I feel like his decision making has been,

283
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: How respected he seems to be by this entire clubhouse.

284
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: This was two weeks before J D. Martinez sung a

285
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: back for the match. I think how long ago that was?

286
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: Oh man, that that same series that Julio Tehran pitch,

287
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: we scored sixteen runs in Atlanta. That was incredible. It

288
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: was an awesome day. That was such an amazing day.

289
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: That cutzack short. Shortly after that, Remember when we crushed

290
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: Yoshinobiyamoto and Chota Ivanaga, Like, I'm sorry. I realized that

291
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: I went on a date with the same girl who

292
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: was the Pilanzo home run day when we crushed out Momoto.

293
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: She might have some good vibes. Yeah, what's going on?

294
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: It's probably it's been been two months. Maybe should call her.

295
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: You gotta figure that one out. Remember that horrible day

296
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: was a raisedtill seven bases in one game? Yeah, I do,

297
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 2: I do remember that. That was hard watch. Do you

298
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: remember Omar Nervaias. I wish I didn't. I wish I

299
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: didn't remember Omartin Nervaias. No, he's uh, he's gonna go down.

300
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: If we ever do the worst player Mets players of

301
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 2: all time, Omar Nervaiaz is gonna be a tough candidate

302
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 2: to beat. Yeah, one of the one of the worst

303
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 2: forty five day stretches in the history of base ball,

304
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: Homer and Nervaz. That Sunday in London when Louise Terenz

305
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: supremacy and he made that play the end of the

306
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: game and it got slid into by fucking rat guard Stubbs.

307
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 2: And also your first in person Mets win of the

308
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: year was in another country. Yeah, that was a fun one.

309
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: I like that one a lot. It's just similar how

310
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: that thing about Manaia where Manaia had had pitched in

311
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: the capitals of two countries before the United States of America, Yes,

312
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: which is very funny, and then he pitched in DC,

313
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: so it's he's now pitched in three world world capitals,

314
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: country capitals. Pretty funny. How about when Jad Martinez came

315
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: back and was like, okay a little bit Sunday's like,

316
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I still remember how a hit. I'm still

317
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: one of the best peer hitters in Major League Baseball.

318
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: That was really fun. Led into the week where they

319
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: just beat the absolute pants off the Texas Rangers, which

320
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: was also so much fun when Brandon Nemo and Lindor

321
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: and all these guys were like, oh, we're just way

322
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: better than you, which is great against the four, the

323
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: defending World Series champions. And then Alvarez got that big

324
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: hit and I have that big comeback game in the

325
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 2: Tuesday Night. That was a really fun series. That was

326
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: This year is where things finally started to click back again.

327
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: We just met seasons officially fun again, like we're back,

328
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: Francis back, Yeah, and when he get back Francist Galva's

329
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: nott missing most of the year. Basically every single game

330
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: Forsus Gualivers has played could be like on this list

331
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: of like things I really enjoyed from the first half. Yes,

332
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: and because the Mets win when he plays. That's just

333
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 2: simply how it is. There's another one, Mark Fianto's and

334
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: Brett Baity. You remember when Brett Bady played the first

335
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: thirty games of this year and then Mark Pianto's came

336
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: and now is one of the best hitters in baseball. Yeah,

337
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: though that's a that was a twist I did not

338
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: see coming. Honestly, you could have told me that baby

339
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: would get sent down, But I didn't see Vento's being

340
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: as good as he is, and he's just an absolute

341
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: stud right now, Where would we be without him? Not

342
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: the same? Oh no, we're even close. And we swept

343
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: the Yankees, which as funks, we played him again in

344
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: a week. We kind of we kind of put a

345
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: little put the knife starting the knife in their back.

346
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: Now we're just hoping the rest of the Al East

347
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: can twist it and really do the kill shot and

348
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: us next week we got to just take him again

349
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: in that fucking horrible stadium. The fact that we were

350
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: thirteen games under five hundred and we got to a

351
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: playoff spot in six weeks, yeah, it's pretty fucking dumb.

352
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: That's awesome. I mean the fact that the first half

353
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: ends were three games over five hundred in the wild card.

354
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: I don't know how we got there, but we did.

355
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 2: We did it, boys, we did it. And that's about everything.

356
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: For the insane first half that we want to talk

357
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: about is I don't even there's probably some more things

358
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: I just don't even remember, because we rattled off twenty

359
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: five different wild things that happened and that shouldn't happen

360
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: in an eighty five game stretch. No, but it should

361
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: for I think none whatever. At one in every four

362
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: or five days, there's something crazy going on in the

363
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: Mets world. We've had multiple masks. Oh and even last

364
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: week recent edition the dog Iggy. Oh yes, I don't

365
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: even know what kind of dogs. I really have no

366
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: idea what kind of dog is rich? Is that a greyhound?

367
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: The ones that like race? But that's like a mini greyhound?

368
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 2: Greyhounds are huge? Are greyhounds huge?

369
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: Oh?

370
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are very long? They race? Watch race? Yeah,

371
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: I'd watch, I guess like I would watch race. But

372
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: as long as the animals you kept in the main conditions.

373
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: Of course, I don't want Pee to come after as

374
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: p PE's got eyes everywhere. They do avis everywhere everywhere. Honestly,

375
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: know what really ruined my day? If I walked down

376
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: of my apartment, I just got blood thrown on me,

377
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: I'd ruin my day. That would make mine. If you've

378
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 2: got blood thrown on knew? Okay, Well, but all right,

379
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: that was enough of the nuts As first half. This

380
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 2: is a nuts As episode, but big storylines to the

381
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: second half. I think there's a few things that are

382
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: gonna drive this Mets team drive this Mets season to

383
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: actually figure out if this will be a playoff team

384
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: or just a team that kind of runs out of

385
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: gas here after this insane running momentum late in the

386
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: first half. And I think the number one thing that

387
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 2: people want to hear, and I think the number one

388
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 2: thing that the Mets can do either to show what

389
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: they believe of this team internally, is going to be

390
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: how they handle the trade deadline. This trade deadline in

391
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 2: a year where there are so many teams buying and

392
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 2: there's not really that much available on the market right now,

393
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: especially not that much that's really really attractive. There's some

394
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: things that are really really attractive, but there's nothing in

395
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: that like B and C range where I think the

396
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: Mets really want to shop. Yes, that makes a lot

397
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: of sense for them to buy, and then how they

398
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 2: have David Stearns manages at his first trade land with

399
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: the team, and then if they try to split the metal,

400
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: shoot the gap, thread the needle and actually sell a

401
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 2: few things to take advantage of how much of a

402
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 2: buyer's market it is. I know Tacomo has been reporting

403
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: that the Mets aren't probably going to be able to

404
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 2: trade Severino in Manaya because they're so in it, and

405
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 2: they do want to make the playoffs. Like the Sterns

406
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 2: in the front office, they want to make the postseason.

407
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: They want to show that this team is good in

408
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: a year that was not necessarily supposed to be considered

409
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: a success by making the postseason or not. But they're

410
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 2: very impressive how his team played going into the second half.

411
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 2: So I think it's gonna be tough. But again I

412
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 2: caution Mets fans. David Sterns traded Josh Hater in the

413
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 2: middle of an NL Central Division race. At the deadline,

414
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 2: he was tied for the division leading thirteen games over

415
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: five hundred yes, and he said, best closer in baseball.

416
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 2: Get him out of here, because you're giving us a

417
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: lot back. So I think I think the way the

418
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: Mets are going to go is if the right offer

419
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 2: comes around for a Severino, Manaia Quintana. I don't think

420
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: we're trading any hitters, including Pete JD. Martin, as Harrison Bader,

421
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: any of those guys. I think they're all gonna be

422
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 2: Mets for the entire year. But I think Manaia Kintana,

423
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 2: Severino and anybody in the bullpen that someone could want

424
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: outside of probably Edwin Diaz I think could be traded

425
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: if given the right pieces back. And you mentioned how

426
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: the Mets need those BC pieces kind of the deadline,

427
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: there aren't available. You want to know why because we

428
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 2: got them. Yeah, and a lot of teams like us

429
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: have them. This's just with the expanded playoffs right now,

430
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: there are so many teams in contention, Like I almost

431
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 2: think the Nationals we talked about last episode are like, oh,

432
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: thank god, we can actually sell. We're finally hav of it.

433
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 2: This is awesome. But in the National League alone, I'm

434
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: loading up the standings right now, there are one, two, three,

435
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 2: four five. There are six teams in the National League

436
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: within three and a half games of the Mets for

437
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 2: the final wildcard spot, and the Mets are only half

438
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: of a game behind the Cardinals. So there are eight

439
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 2: teams within four and a half games of each other

440
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: right there, four games of each other for these last

441
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 2: two wildcard spots. Even the Braves are not. There are

442
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 2: only four games ahead of the Mets right now, so

443
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 2: there's a huge jumble there a lot of teams. I

444
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 2: can make it. The only teams in National League that

445
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 2: are actually out of it are the Marlins and the

446
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: Rockies the only teams that literally and the Nationals are selling,

447
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 2: but they're they're taking them all out. They're only six

448
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: games out with sixty five to play. They're not exactly

449
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: out of it. And then even go to the American League,

450
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: it's a little bit more spread out, but you have

451
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: the Royals, the Astros, and the Rays all within five

452
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: and a half games, when the Rays are probably moving

453
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: out to sell. And then the Rangers I think still

454
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: want to try and win, but they're seven and a

455
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: half games out. Tigers are seven They I think they

456
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: try to win, but I just don't think they know

457
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: how to win. But there's just a lot of teams

458
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: that are kind of still close enough to a playoff

459
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 2: spot to not totally justify selling. And we're only twelve

460
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: days away from the deadline. You know, there's a thirtieth

461
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: this year. Oh, I thought it was like August second,

462
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: I thought it got a weird one. July thirtieth, Oh, okay,

463
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: soon and six pm too, So why not the thirty

464
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: first of July? Even that's that's a tough one too.

465
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 2: I hate that it's just this arbitrary day of I

466
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 2: guess the thirty first is just fake end of the

467
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: month too. But I wish we had a universal day

468
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 2: every single year. That would be nice. It's on a

469
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 2: Tuesday afternoon, too, which is just weird. It's Tuesday at

470
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: six p the trade deadline. I mean, I could have

471
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 2: been Wednesday coming over for the stream. We were ripping

472
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: that again. Oh yeah, it'll be like I think it'll

473
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 2: be the fourth annual. Yeah, of course, good, good, good,

474
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, we'll be talking a lot of trade deadline there.

475
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 2: Aggressive wise. I know, like you just said, the teams

476
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: that could be moving should be moving. Is there anybody

477
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: from the last time that we spoke that you're thinking

478
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: could make more sense for the Mets now? Because I

479
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 2: think the Blue Jays are gonna be selling for sure

480
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 2: now it looks like that. I don't think Flat Junior

481
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: is in the books, but like they have some pieces

482
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 2: that might be interesting. Maybe my brain keeps going back

483
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 2: to the similar kind of relievers we keep talking about,

484
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 2: and the main guys there are Chad Green from the

485
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 2: Blue Jays, Jumy Garcia from the Blue Jays, if he

486
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 2: comes back and pitches a little bit and shows his

487
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: healthy before the deadline, and then just weirdly John Breba

488
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 2: from from the White Sox. Like, I think I'm the

489
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 2: number one John Breba fan on Earth right now. The

490
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 2: guy still has like a thirty percent strike guy raid,

491
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 2: his FIP is like three point two and his fastball

492
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: still has good life on it. But I don't know.

493
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: Like I was just some of DM ME today. They

494
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: were like, what what do you think are the Mets

495
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 2: trade anine options? I was like, it's basically the same.

496
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 2: Like one team that has like an inflection point is

497
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: probably the San Francisco Giants. Yeah, where if the Giants

498
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: decide to sell. The Giants have some pretty interesting things

499
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 2: I think the Mets would cove it, namely their bullpen.

500
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: Both Taylor and Tyler Rodgers I think would be great

501
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: relievers for the Mets to have Taylor he had, Taylor

502
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 2: being a lefty and Tyler being strange. Tyler has still

503
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: another year and a half of control, and the Giants

504
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 2: don't exactly have money issues, but they might just be

505
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: able to get a lot of for him because he's

506
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: quite good. Your boy, Puke Jackson. They'll definitely trade if

507
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 2: they decide they're out of it. But he is not

508
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: very good, but he's he has he's he's he can,

509
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 2: he can breed and pitch. They're probably they'd probably shed

510
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 2: some of this rotation because they have all of Alex Cobb,

511
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 2: Robby Wright, and Keaton win Do back within the next

512
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 2: three weeks or so. But like, I don't think they

513
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: would trade Jordan Hicks on the contract they just signed

514
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: up before. He's also been struggling as a starter. He

515
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 2: hasn't completed six innings since like the middle of April.

516
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 2: But they also they also have bats I think would

517
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 2: be traded and could get rids. Can four though and

518
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 2: Flora is weirdly being two of them one more seems

519
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: like he's finally falling off, falling off the edge of this

520
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 2: year as a thirty about turn thirty three year old.

521
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: But Can four though, is finally playing decent baseball. Matt

522
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: Chapman they just signed. They probably want to dump him here.

523
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 2: And Flora's is thirty three is like, that's like devastating news. Yeah,

524
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: that's very bad. That really rude in my night, I

525
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: think I'm hurt. They are the team though that has

526
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 2: they can add a little bit more juice to this market,

527
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: Like Lamont Wade would be a get for the Mets

528
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: as all. The problem is, I don't think they're gonna

529
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 2: trade though farhan zaieties fired if they don't make the playoffs.

530
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: So I think that's what I'm saying. But they also

531
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: might just I don't know, like maybe he just goes

532
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 2: down with the ship, or maybe he gets he gets

533
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 2: the stamp approval, he's like, he's like, I can't wait

534
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 2: to make this organization better for the next guy. Like

535
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 2: then nobody does that, No, you are? I mean maybe again,

536
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 2: Like the Diamondbacks had this hot treak, I thought there

537
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 2: was a chance they could have fallen out. Now they're

538
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: right in the thick of it. It's like the Giants

539
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: are the one that makes sense me. Like the Cubs

540
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 2: are going to sell, like I have them firmly in

541
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: the cell right now, even though they're they think of

542
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: seven to three in their last ten. But they also

543
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 2: just don't really have anything that good to trade it

544
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 2: all games downs. That's pretty much it. The roster kind

545
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 2: of stinks, Like it's amazing that they play they pick

546
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: crack counts all that money and still are in a

547
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 2: playoff team. But I guess have maybe they're gonna cut

548
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 2: to you, though I don't know you want Patrick Wisdom's

549
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: they won't. I don't even want him at all. Now,

550
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: Miles Master Bony like they don't even they don't have

551
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 2: a lefty hither and they don't have reliever. They did

552
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 2: the perfect worst trade partner for the Mets. I think

553
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 2: the Mets have the Marlins up next than the Yankees, right.

554
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: I feel like after the Yankee series, there'll be like

555
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 2: six or seven more games played by most teams in

556
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball at that point. I think that will

557
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 2: be a spot where you will officially know who is

558
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: going to be buyers and sellers by that point. Just

559
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 2: because you're gonna be a week away from the deadline,

560
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 2: you would have played another week of baseball. A team

561
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 2: gets cold, all of a sudden, there are eight games out.

562
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: A team gets hot, all of a sudden, there are

563
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 2: two games out. Like that's that's gonna be. I think

564
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: the big moment of Oh, we can go to the

565
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 2: Tigers and we can start contacting Riley Green. No, I

566
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 2: know that's not the case. We're throwing it out there,

567
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 2: but there are some other players on that Tigers team

568
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 2: that I'd love to have, especially in that bullpen. So's

569
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 2: it's gonna be entry, which thing again, we are the

570
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 2: worst podcast that we will not bait you guys and

571
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: tell you I should go after Garrett Crochet like I

572
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 2: think they got a real shot. I'd love Garrett Crochet.

573
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: I would kill for him to be on the Mets.

574
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: Do I think we're gonna have the best package? Absolutely not.

575
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a I don't think there's a

576
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 2: shot in the world. Crochet is also such a weird

577
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 2: trade candidate. I wrote about pictures with innings limits for

578
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 2: the world on Wednesday, and he has thrown over one

579
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 2: hundred innings already this year, and the White Sox waited

580
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: until last week to start limiting his innings. And you

581
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 2: know what they did to limit his innings. They pulled

582
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 2: him after two perfect innings his last start before the

583
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,239
Speaker 2: All Star break, after he's been just pitching as much

584
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 2: as he wanted to this whole month, and he's thrown

585
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 2: like thirty innings in the last two years combined. So

586
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: it's like, what are you gonna do, Like if it's

587
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 2: gonna be a funny case study on like if innings

588
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 2: limits might work, because if he stays with the White Sox,

589
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 2: he probably throws thirty or four the innings the rest

590
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 2: of the year, and if he gets traded, he will

591
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: probably throw one hundred. It's like, I don't know what's

592
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 2: gonna happen with him, but I feel like a team

593
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: could trade for him and then he might just like

594
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 2: have like signal fatigue. But he's weird, Like it's very

595
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: bizarre that happening, whereas like same thing with Kopek, but

596
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 2: he's just Copex is weird mentally, but also the Tiger's Bulban.

597
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 2: I'm going all over the place right now, even like

598
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: Terrek Scuoball is the name that's being thrown around right now.

599
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: The Dodgers and Oils are. He's super aggressive, to which

600
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 2: we're not gonna beat either of those teams. Packages It's

601
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: just not gonna happen there. And they're World Series teams.

602
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: Those are teams are trying to win the World Series

603
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 2: this year, so they're gonna really really go for it,

604
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: especially if they're competing with each other to get a

605
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: guy like terror Scooball, which is a shame because he's stick,

606
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 2: but he's still the guy Too's throw no innings in

607
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: his career at all.

608
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 3: No.

609
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 2: I actually I wrote about him too in that same

610
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 2: piece he threw. He's never been above one hundred and

611
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred and thirty about there, and the last

612
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 2: two years combined, he's only at about two hundred, and

613
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: this year he's already at one seventeen and he's the

614
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 2: betting favorite for this I Young Award. Like it'd be

615
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: bizarre for them to stop pitching him, but also like

616
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 2: it would be stupid for them to keep pitching him,

617
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 2: Like I don't know, Like both things are true at

618
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 2: the same time. Same thing with Skins right now, where

619
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: they said before season skiings to one hundred and fifty

620
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 2: ending limit, and now he's throwing a hundred this year

621
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: and the team is like pushing for a playoff spot,

622
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 2: and it's like, all right, Like you have ninety six games,

623
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 2: like sixty Ie I Broughte that wrong, No, they have.

624
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: They have sixty with ever games left in their schedule.

625
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 2: They have like thirteen more revolutions through their rotation. He's

626
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: gonna blow through that if he throws more than four

627
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 2: to start, Like there's no way you can do that. Now,

628
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 2: It's like do you want to make the playoffs? You

629
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 2: want to preserve him? This is always a funny conversation too,

630
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 2: because the Nationals did this with Strasburg. They're like, we're

631
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 2: stopping him pitching right now, and he got injured every

632
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 2: opportunity his entire career. Like this shit, I don't think

633
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 2: it works the way teams. I don't think it's deploy it.

634
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: But it's just every teams like obsessed with this whole notion,

635
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 2: and it's just it's gonna funny to see how this

636
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 2: winds up, because especially like Scoople and Crochet, if they

637
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 2: get trade, they're gonna pitch to the armfalls off where

638
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: they team's gonna be. They're gonna behut down the middle

639
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: of August, so it'll be fun. It will be fun

640
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 2: casety the rest of the year about stuff like that.

641
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: But a lot of these teams they just don't exactly

642
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 2: have what the Mets want or need, which is either

643
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: corner ole field are preferably one that could hit left handed,

644
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 2: or reliever that is somewhat cheap, like that doesn't exist

645
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: that much. Like everyone wants Andrew Chafin, he kind of stinks.

646
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: I don't know, like it's kent to May that you

647
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 2: want Kent to my aa pitching out of the bullpen

648
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: probably not. He's been horrendous this year. Shelby Miller. I

649
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: know he has, like I mentioned him last week, he

650
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 2: has fun pitch stuff, but he's been horrible this year.

651
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 2: These the guys do we feel comfortable trading for. I

652
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: don't know, man, It's it's gonna be a mess because

653
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 2: this this bullpen still is a mess. It's still bullpen.

654
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 2: Is is not good and I can only imagine it's

655
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 2: probably going to get worse before it gets better. So

656
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: like it's it's it's gonna drive me crazy. But I

657
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: don't I don't know what they do. I really don't

658
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: know what they do because I don't want to go

659
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: out and end up trading good prospects for a reliever

660
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 2: because he had like a hot start to the year,

661
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: but he's actually complete bullshit at the end of the day. Yeah,

662
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: I'm also confident that David Stearns won't do that. Like

663
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 2: Billy Upload's a GM, Billy Uploads a GM. The other

664
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: GM's calls, I know they can trick him. Like everyone

665
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: plays in fantasy sports leagues, you know who those gms

666
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: are in your league? Words every time you could just

667
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 2: package up a bunch of bullshit and be like, yeah,

668
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 2: I mean like if you get this, like this is

669
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: improving for your second base and like here's another third

670
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 2: outfielder for you can get better there. So like just

671
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: give me your sp two and like, well, like let's

672
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: make this deal. Like everyone knows that guy Billy Upper

673
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 2: was that guy. We're starts at the opposite of that guy,

674
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: and I think that's relevant here. But the other thing

675
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 2: we got to talk about those like good transitions just

676
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 2: to bullpen bullpens. Yes, So I'm saying like this version

677
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 2: of Edwin Diaz like this is bad. Like thank god

678
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 2: for dead nol Nunias, and maybe like Jose Budo stays there,

679
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 2: depending on how they do the deadline, Like everyone, thank

680
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 2: you lucky stars. But like if we don't, I think

681
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: we're gonna go out and get some relievers who are

682
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: not gonna be that cool today. Yeah, like maybe Alex

683
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 2: might have a three right for the rest of the season,

684
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 2: Like that's something that could happen. But like I think

685
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 2: that there's a there's a legitimate chance that we put

686
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 2: significant faith in either b md O or Shintaro Fujinami

687
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: at some point the second half, and like they have

688
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 2: like their own insanity run like similar to Nuniaz or

689
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 2: Regarret like something happens like August eleventh to September ninth,

690
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 2: like b MD oh, just he he gets like four

691
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: holes and two saves for us. I mean both of

692
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: those guys. If there were, if there were the next

693
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: insanity run in this bullpen, it would be those guys

694
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: because they both throw upwards of one hundred miles an hour.

695
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 2: They both have discussed breaking balls like, they have the

696
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 2: ability to be good. It's just always been injury concern

697
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 2: and strike throwing concern for both of them. They've had

698
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: issues with both of those things. So if the Mets

699
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: can get that right, yeah, it would be amazing to

700
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: have two guys who are gonna throw over one hundred

701
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: miles an hour in this bullpen. Is that gonna happen?

702
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 2: I seriously don't know. I would love to not have

703
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: my faith being guys who are coming back from injuries

704
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,719
Speaker 2: that haven't pitched. Here's the question. Do you I think

705
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 2: this has been a hot issue recently. I've gotten some

706
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 2: dms about it, some tweets about it. Do you think

707
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: there's any chance they call up one of the pitching prospects,

708
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 2: specifically the one that can throw one hundred and two

709
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: miles an hour. Spro the spro possibly do this, Yeah,

710
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: because this is something that Stearns has done, didn't he

711
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 2: didn't do that. He did this a little bit with

712
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: Brandon Woodriff that year they did the playoff on twenty eighteen.

713
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 2: But I think he was a little older than we're

714
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 2: spro is now. Maybe he wasn't actually try to Right now,

715
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: I'm going to look at it while you talk. Do

716
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 2: you think that I'm just gonna say, do you think

717
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 2: there's a chance they do that at all? So Woodroffe

718
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: was twenty four, okay when he got called three and

719
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: he was twenty yeah four, So my gut, my gut

720
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: tells me no, my heart tells me yes. My heart

721
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 2: tells me yes. Always listen to your heart when it's

722
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 2: calling for you. It's it's one of those things where

723
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 2: he just he really hasn't struggled at any level at all.

724
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: And if he's gonna throw those innings, or even if

725
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: they're this's gonna sound crazy, but like if they're worried

726
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: about him having too many innings, one way to fix

727
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 2: that is to put him in the major league bullpen.

728
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: It's kind of yeah, right, which is kind of the

729
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: spin zone I'm really convincing myself with right now. I

730
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: don't know. I mean, that would be a September thing obviously,

731
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: for sure, and that would be if the Mets were

732
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: in dire need of like, wow, we are about to

733
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 2: make the playoffs. We need someone who can get people out.

734
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: That's also a crazy amount of pressure to put someone

735
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 2: who is supposed to be like the next great picture

736
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 2: in this organization under and just a really easy way

737
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: to get Mets fans to hate him for no reason

738
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: as well. I just got an even sand balls of

739
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: lighting outside my house? Is there raining? Crazy thunderstorm just started?

740
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 2: Just started that here. But the Sproad thing is weird

741
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: because in workload wise, I don't think he's really pushing

742
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: up against anything because last year in college he went

743
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: through the rigors of an SEC season in a college

744
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 2: World Series. You threw one hundred and six innings, and

745
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: so far this year he's only at seventy three. So

746
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: he's not really this is like he he I mean,

747
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: so he probably has one hundred and twenty things in

748
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 2: the banking that sent me through right now, So I

749
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 2: guess it does kind of make some sense. But then

750
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 2: you might get into a situation again we're just we're

751
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 2: just playing out the snare on our head right now,

752
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: having fun. What if you get to a situation where

753
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 2: he comes like blazing with like with if he's fucking

754
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: on and then like with then what if you're in

755
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 2: a situation where you're in the three game when you're

756
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 2: here in the three game series and like maybe sevreno

757
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 2: orm and I like are not as as fishing or

758
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: as effective as they were in April, but against a

759
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 2: righty line righty heavy lineup, and you're like, I can't

760
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: throw like today like that, So you're almost opened up

761
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 2: a cann of worms there where you might be like

762
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: letting like like the rooster into the headhouse where sprot

763
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: might just come up and be like, let's let's play

764
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 2: this game. And then like because now the way that

765
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 2: Christian Scott's gone the last month, the way the Mets

766
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 2: have been so weird about his usage, yeah, so awkward

767
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: about everything with him and also him to struggling with

768
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: the lefties, He's almost now the guy that makes sense.

769
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 2: I would be the short term believer. She's the one

770
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 2: to say, because if he can get in that bullpen

771
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 2: that fastball goes from ninety four to ninety five to

772
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: ninety six ninety seven. He also probably only has like

773
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 2: thirty five forty fifty more innings at most on that

774
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 2: arm the rest of the year. It's early around one

775
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 2: hundred tal innings this year. That is some something is

776
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 2: something that makes a lot of sense, and that now

777
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 2: if but then the problem is like then you maybe

778
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 2: you acquire a star. Then maybe you go after a

779
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 2: guy like Fetti, or you like get someone's dept to

780
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 2: just get you to the end of the year. It's

781
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: pitching well, dude, like because then the bed if you can,

782
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 2: if I see Eric Fetti wearing Mets jersey, I like,

783
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be sick to my stomach. I'm gonna I'm

784
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 2: going to a hunger strike, all right, very met you

785
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: hunger strike, I hunger strike. No more hot dogs until

786
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: until then, perfect gets no hitter because when Woodrif came up,

787
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 2: I'm looking at this thing now just to see anything

788
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 2: that Startance has done similar to this. He came up

789
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen as a starter when he was twenty

790
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 2: when he was twenty four, and he actually started to

791
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: twenty oh twenty seventeen, Yeah, twenty seventeen, twenty seventeen, Yeah,

792
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 2: and then he also did in twenty eighteen. The next

793
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 2: year he went back up and down, he came up

794
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: and then he was a beast in relief that twenty

795
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 2: eighteen run for the Brwiers. He started the game early

796
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: and then he went through and he pitched a lot

797
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: of games in relief and was fantastic, specifically in the

798
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 2: NLCS against the Dodgers, like he was he was struck

799
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,239
Speaker 2: at seventeen balls in nine innings, like he was home run.

800
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: He was a real difference maker for that team. So

801
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 2: there is some precedent for this for stereirings. But I

802
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 2: think that's one of the things that can maybe save

803
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 2: this bullpen, because again I don't think we're getting a

804
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 2: real impact reliever in the deadline. He also did one

805
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 2: to even super exists. I think we also got to

806
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 2: bring up Jose Buddha. Jose Budo is getting incredible out

807
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 2: of and I think that's the guy that we we

808
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 2: expect to continue to be used in the bullpen in

809
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: the scenario that he's been used in, which is really good,

810
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna I'm gonna throw it out there again,

811
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 2: I'm hitting up the ex girlfriend Tyler McGill. You home,

812
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 2: you up, what's going on?

813
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: Brother?

814
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: Like he he's the guy. To me, that just makes

815
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 2: so much sense as the as it could be the

816
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 2: big bullpen orm like why can we try it? Because

817
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: like listen, this is probably not happened on the starting

818
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 2: pitching side. It seems like, I don't know how many

819
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 2: times we're gonna try that and be like, please figure

820
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 2: it out. But maybe in the Penny becomes his brother

821
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, you're like, holy shit, this

822
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 2: six foot six human is unhittable out of the bullpen.

823
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: Someone had this point online, or maybe it was like

824
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 2: one of the I think it might have been zeal

825
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 2: or maybe Ronnie on a broadcast last week where they

826
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 2: were talking about the fact of Buddha's role and he's like,

827
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: become this like he like the Mets have two longmen,

828
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 2: which is a real old school pitching staff thing because

829
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: like his howser ands like the good long man, and

830
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 2: how's just like the bad longmen. But he was saying

831
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 2: that if they could do what they're going to do,

832
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 2: like they say they're gonna do with saying and move

833
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 2: to a six man rotation when he's healthy. So then

834
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: you have six starters, and you have and your team

835
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: are gonna have thirteen relievers or thirteen pitchers. Six starters,

836
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: then two guys in your bullpen that can't really work

837
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 2: on consecutive day. It's not traditional relievers. That's suddenly eight

838
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 2: pictures that you have to really manage their innings and

839
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 2: really manage when they come in, and just five relievers

840
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 2: to rotate through. And then the five relievers who have

841
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 2: to rotate through right now, two of them are kind

842
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 2: of unusable. Now, you know, Jake Deakmon is now I

843
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 2: really just have three relievers and crazy I'm inconsistent and

844
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 2: read Garrett were like, what what? What is read Garrett?

845
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 3: Right now?

846
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 2: I don't know? So this is what I'm saying. So

847
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: now it becomes a thing where Boodle might not be

848
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: able to stay in this role as they moved to

849
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 2: six men rotation, or they might just have to get

850
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 2: rid of Houser. Might that clock might have just come

851
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 2: up and Boodle becomes the only law man because it'll

852
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: be a strange workaround so that those exact thirteen pitchers

853
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 2: in the bullpen, or you just change their role and

854
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 2: you're now pitch an inning like that's that's what that's

855
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 2: the other thing, like you now become a one inning reliever.

856
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 2: But then you're also making that concession. We don't think

857
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: we're gonna need you to start the rest of the

858
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 2: year because once you go back one more wrong of

859
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 2: your workload and the way you warm up and stuff,

860
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 2: now it's that much harder to build it back up.

861
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 2: So I think that I'm glad. I think it's to

862
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: make this decision. It's up to the big guy. Yeah,

863
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's fun to this is the game like this,

864
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 2: this is the beauty of it. And this is exactly

865
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 2: why we're so happy that we have smart person like

866
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 2: David Searns the helm instead of instead Billy Eppler, who

867
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 2: was just like, I don't fucking know whatever, let's figure

868
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 2: it out. So we saw Billy Eppler in Taco bowls

869
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 2: when we were at City Field when we were doing

870
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 2: some podcasts during the day. It was, Hey, Billy, what's

871
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 2: going on in taco all right? How you doing? I

872
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 2: was like fifteen minutes before the trade for Brooks Raley.

873
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 2: So but whoever was in that taco ball fucking super

874
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 2: worked out. But This also brings us to the next

875
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: thing that is going to really drive the met second half,

876
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: something that has not been a part of the first

877
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 2: half of all, something that can totally change the scope

878
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 2: of this team. And that's called Aisanka. Yeah, because the

879
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 2: last the best acquisition of the trade deadline. All right,

880
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: Fred Wolpon right there in the flesh the Baseball history

881
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 2: book I'm reading had an unreal Fred Wolpond quote from

882
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 2: the from one of the big strikes in like eighty

883
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 2: one or something, when they were talking about like free

884
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 2: agency compensation. It was right when Jerry Ryan was off

885
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 2: and it's then business partner Mark Einhorn bought the White

886
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 2: Sox and they were like the young hotshot owners in

887
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 2: the block. And there was always this schism between the

888
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 2: National League and the American League, cause National League were

889
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 2: like they were the old guard, like they were the

890
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: first League, like they were the they were they were

891
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 2: the respect stiple franchises and stuff, and the American League

892
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 2: was all these like young hot shots like George Steinbrunner,

893
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 2: like trying to like make their way in the world.

894
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 2: And like there was this idea that the guys in

895
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 2: Nationally had like a lot more money and like we're

896
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 2: a lot more regal about their use of money. So

897
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 2: Fred Wilpon said that he keeps more money in his

898
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 2: pocket than rhyin Storm adds to his name. Nice he

899
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: said that publicly. I remember if it was to me

900
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 2: THEA or just the other owners and it got out.

901
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean listen for everything we've heard Fred

902
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 2: Wilpon legend, Jeff Wilpond dogshit, piece of human, yes, tyror,

903
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 2: but yeah whatever that's but that's like that's their lingo,

904
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 2: like cod that saying is gonna the best exposition we're

905
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 2: gonna make. But in this case probably actually is true

906
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 2: because when he when he pitched the end of the

907
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 2: year last year, once he developed his color and really

908
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 2: got a feel for like his pitch sequencing, it's one

909
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 2: of the best pitchers in baseball truly. Now I will

910
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 2: say I hate that this is also the conversation too,

911
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 2: because's coming back from like not pitching for six months,

912
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 2: and I don't love that. We're like foaming at the mouth,

913
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: like he's not Jake with de Grom. He's not going

914
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 2: to come back and just be the best pitcher in baseball.

915
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 2: Like that's how this works. Do you think this is

916
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 2: our Stockholm syndrome? From the gram everyone like really holding

917
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: their breadths for Sanga a million percent. This is this,

918
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 2: This is the punishment we live with for the rest

919
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 2: of our lives. But also there's a cautionary tale happening

920
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 2: the other side of New York right now, where with

921
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: Garrett Cole where he came back and then it's like, oh,

922
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 2: this isn't actually Garrett Cole, Like this is slightly different

923
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,439
Speaker 2: version of Garrett Cole, and like Garry Cole get Jerry

924
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: Cole with a G. But that's like, that's that's kind

925
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 2: of something I'm weirdly afraid of with Sanga because like

926
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 2: not pitching for this long if you only have a

927
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: pitch one last year was only you're in major leagues

928
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 2: and you only saw him as a rookie, So it's

929
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 2: like there's probably like some and you also like I

930
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 2: know that a lot of time, a lot of times

931
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 2: like expected stats and like you're like those great things

932
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 2: like Sierra Fip and everything, things that you're running away from.

933
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 2: It's not that I'm thinking of a picture season, because

934
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 2: we especially a guy like Sanga that made tons of adjustments,

935
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 2: like coming through and he has one pitch that's such

936
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 2: an outpitch that no one in baseball can figure it out.

937
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 2: But there's still probably is slight question as to what

938
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 2: could I sang is true talent is like he probably

939
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 2: is between the guy we saw at the beginning of

940
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: last year and the guy saw at the end of

941
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 2: last year, Like he probably realistically is a guy who's

942
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 2: like a three four year raight guy, not the one

943
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 2: who was one of the best pitchers in baseball for

944
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: the last three months the season and when the Mets

945
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: completely wasted everything he gave them. So I think that

946
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 2: it's I'm worried about maybe Mets fans or even the

947
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 2: Mets team putting a lot, maybe too much on his

948
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: shoulders as he returns. Yeah, I agree, I think that's

949
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 2: something to caution Mets fans for is like probably like

950
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 2: his first three starts are probably going to just be okay,

951
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 2: Like don't expect like, oh, he's back seven innings, ten k's,

952
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 2: no runs. It's like, that's that's so much to expect

953
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 2: for a guy who, I mean legitimately hasn't pitched a

954
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 2: major league baseball game in ten months, Like it's been

955
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 2: a long time. It has and his injury isn't It's

956
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 2: not an unseious injury like having that back scalpel thing

957
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 2: with Nick Pollock talked, talked to him about it months

958
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 2: ago when it happened fucking February January. I remember it

959
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 2: happens a long guy was on a ski mountain. That's

960
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 2: how cold it was then. But it's like it's a

961
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 2: serious thing, where if that capsule bursts, like then the

962
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 2: whole shoulders fucked. So it's like this, it's They've been

963
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 2: very cautious with him, and I credit code I for

964
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 2: being patient with himself, not feeling the pressure, especially with

965
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 2: the knowledge of that clause in his contract that he

966
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 2: if he doesn't get to two hundred and four of

967
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 2: the innings in the next two years, then he will

968
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 2: not be able to opt out. And it's unlikely he

969
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 2: gets there now, given he's missed basically his entire season.

970
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 2: So credit to him for being focused on the things

971
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 2: he should be focused on or could be focused on.

972
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not saying your money is something you

973
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 2: shouldn't be focused on, but good for him for not

974
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: looking at that and like being like, I have to

975
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 2: get back as soon as possible to get these innings

976
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: be like, I have to stay healthy. Yeah no, I mean, uh,

977
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 2: definitely some of the monitor as well. And then on

978
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: the on the hitting side, I mean, I think it's

979
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 2: a legitimate question can they stay as hot as they've been, like,

980
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 2: because they're gonna have to be because the way that

981
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 2: this picture is, the Mets can't afford to like have

982
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 2: a week off offensively. They really can't. And that is

983
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 2: also a ton of pressure knowing that you have to

984
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 2: show up at the ballpark every day and score about

985
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 2: seven runs to win. I think the Mets, like the

986
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 2: lineup situation comes down to one true factor and then

987
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 2: two like slightly made getting factors, and number one is

988
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 2: gonna be if Pilanza has a hot streak in him,

989
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 2: which people, for the love of God, please okay, we're

990
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: doing this again, employing all Mets fans. First game back

991
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 2: at City Field, Pete Alonso's standing ovation. I know, he

992
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 2: absolutely shit the bed in the home run derby and

993
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 2: people are mad. And I still don't know how people

994
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 2: are running with this whole He's only that he's selfish

995
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 2: for stealing the spot. The reading comprehension is shockingly low

996
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 2: in the Mets community. At times, which is very, very

997
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 2: concerning to me. He said, I'm only doing the home

998
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,439
Speaker 2: run derby if I'm an All Star because he doesn't

999
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 2: want to go to Dallas and then fly home the

1000
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: next day. These guys get a break when they're not

1001
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 2: in the All Star Game, something that I wish Pete

1002
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 2: Alonzo had. That being said, he is a golden retriever.

1003
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 2: He knows he's been making mistakes. He's in the corner

1004
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 2: right now. He's got his head, he's got the low

1005
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 2: ConA shame on. He's upset, he's frustrated, he doesn't feel good,

1006
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 2: he's stressing the fuck out. I mean, reports came out

1007
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 2: that Pete is major pressing about this contract. Let's try

1008
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 2: our best to welcome him back, make it easy for him.

1009
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 2: He has been one of the best hitters that we

1010
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 2: have seen on the New York Mets in terms of

1011
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 2: hitting home runs ever, ever, ever, and for some reason,

1012
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: whatever happened this year, Mets fans have now turned. I mean,

1013
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 2: we know it is the contract negotiation thing, but now

1014
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 2: there's a group of Mets fans that are becoming more

1015
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 2: and more vocal and more and more closer to the

1016
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 2: majority that are just not really good for Pete's head,

1017
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 2: and that's that's that's a problem of itself. You could

1018
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 2: say Pete needs to be tough for whatever it is. Sure,

1019
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 2: but we have the opportunity to hopefully build up one

1020
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 2: of our players like we did with Francisco Indoor. It

1021
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:36,240
Speaker 2: literally fucking worked, Trey Turner, it works like Alec Bohm's

1022
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 2: a fucking all star. He said, I fucking hate this city,

1023
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 2: and the asshole Philly fans cheered up after that, like

1024
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,439
Speaker 2: we can't. We're talking shit on one of the best

1025
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 2: Mets home run hitters of all time. It drives me nuts.

1026
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 2: We need him to get hot, though, desperately bad because

1027
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 2: the other guys are due to regress just a little bit,

1028
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: because they're humans. It's baseball. It is hard, and that's

1029
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 2: not just how baseball works, like you pick each other up,

1030
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 2: like there's a lineup of nine guys ever the day

1031
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 2: all sometimes it's nice and all night hit but it's

1032
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 2: hard to get everyone together at the same time. And

1033
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 2: now when everyone else was really hot and Pete was cold,

1034
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 2: this whole thing will turn on his head. If he

1035
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 2: stays cold. Everybody else now gets a little cold too.

1036
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 2: But it's natural that players will get hot and cold,

1037
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 2: because again that's how baseball works. And the first game

1038
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 2: we have home, I don't know if you know the

1039
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 2: schedule of the second half. Of course, I have to memorize.

1040
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 2: We have a four game set against the Braves next

1041
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 2: weekend Thursday of the Sunday. Why that's like, that's almost

1042
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 2: gon to four games type thing. I think I'll probably

1043
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 2: only get to one myself. But that Thursday night game

1044
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 2: against the Braves, we were coming out. We're gonna be

1045
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 2: coming off two game set against the Yankees. We're gonna

1046
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 2: have four games against the Marlins. It's gonna be five

1047
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 2: days before the trade deadline. That's going to be a

1048
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 2: remarkably important series to the rest of this Mets season. Like,

1049
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 2: that's a series where if you if you get swept

1050
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 2: four games, like the trade deadline conversation changes drastically in

1051
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 2: a second, Like never mind if you lose any of

1052
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 2: the games against the Marlins and Yankees. Yeah, like if

1053
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 2: you split the Marlins and you lose two the Yankees

1054
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 2: and that Braves series, kind of the term is the

1055
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 2: season and it's the exact same time a year two

1056
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 2: years ago where we thought it determined the season, but

1057
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 2: didn't determine the season because we went three out of

1058
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 2: I think four out of five because it has Super

1059
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 2: five game series. But that's that's gonna be remarkably important,

1060
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 2: and I think this is this Met second half. It

1061
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 2: kind of feels like just it's a gut feeling for me,

1062
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 2: just fandom inside. It's gonna be driven a little bit

1063
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 2: by pe Alonzo and it could wind up being like

1064
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 2: the lasting market memory of his Mets career, which is

1065
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 2: kind of sad to think about, but it's possible this

1066
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 2: is the last we ever have pe Alonzo on this team.

1067
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 2: So instead of being mad at him about it, let's

1068
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 2: just watch him for a few months and be excited

1069
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 2: that he's still a really good baseball player, can still

1070
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 2: really help us win games. Yeah, I mean, I tweet

1071
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,919
Speaker 2: at three am every day every week apparently now about

1072
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 2: how much I miss Jacob deGrom. I know I'm gonna

1073
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: be doing that about Pete Alonzo too if he's not

1074
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 2: a Met in the future. Like I'm like, damn, this

1075
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 2: dude was so fucking awesome. I can't believe he was

1076
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 2: on this team and we let him go, Like, what

1077
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 2: are we gonna do? He needs to get hot. Yeah,

1078
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: I'm not concerned about Nimma Lindor. I mean, they're they're superstars,

1079
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 2: They're they're unbelievable. Just keep doing what they're doing. I

1080
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 2: have no comments on them. Same thing with Jadie Martinez.

1081
00:44:58,480 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 2: I think the All Star bricks canna be good for him.

1082
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 2: He started to look a little bit tired going into

1083
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 2: the All Star break. The back out a little bit

1084
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 2: slow towards the end, but I'm sure he'll turn it around.

1085
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 2: Viento's and Alvarez will be also super important, just because

1086
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 2: they had great first halfs. I want to say a

1087
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 2: little bit unexpected at how well they even played. Like

1088
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 2: we were always a huge Alvarez guy, but you guys

1089
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 2: forget he kind of started this year off kind of

1090
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 2: slow and then just got scorching hot as the Mets offense.

1091
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 2: That if those guys can continue to carry the bottom

1092
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 2: of the order, that's huge. We we could really use it.

1093
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 2: Making that lineup deeper makes this team a lot better,

1094
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 2: and Alvarez a lot of the things that he needed

1095
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 2: to improve. He still hasn't even really gotten that much

1096
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 2: better at Yeah, like he still chases the ball outside,

1097
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 2: strikes one a little much. Sometimes he gets he gets

1098
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 2: a little bit too SELECTI when you should be a

1099
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 2: little mo agressive, a little more agressing. He should be

1100
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,280
Speaker 2: too selective. He doesn't have the doesn't have the approach

1101
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 2: like perfectly down pat yet and right now he's like

1102
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 2: like the strikeouts he's reduced well, and the walks he's

1103
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 2: improved on, but still it's still he's been this good

1104
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 2: and really actually hasn't clicked yet, which is kind of

1105
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 2: the most incredible thing about him, whereas Fiento's everything looks

1106
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 2: great and I think everyone's just kind of waiting for

1107
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 2: the other shoe to drop. But I don't know, like

1108
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 2: I think I just said, that's what I'm saying. I

1109
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: spend a lot of my time both in conversations with

1110
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,479
Speaker 2: just Mets fans then people who are like really dense,

1111
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 2: deep fancy baseball players, and the Mets fans, which is weird,

1112
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 2: this never happens, are so much more confident Mark Fansas

1113
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 2: than the fancy baseball people. The fans of baseball people

1114
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 2: like stick to the narratives, keep to their prospect lives,

1115
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 2: keep to all this pedigree stuff. So it's going to

1116
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 2: be a strange dichotomy whether like it, how good each

1117
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 2: of these guys continue to be because it's important. It's

1118
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 2: not the most important thing, but as far as them

1119
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,839
Speaker 2: extending this lineup, really driving in a lot of runs,

1120
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 2: like living in the five and six holes, they've been

1121
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 2: in incredibly important over the last few weeks months to

1122
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 2: get this team where it is. Kind of the unsung

1123
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 2: heroes of this team because it's easy to talk about

1124
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 2: the big names, but without these guys, I mean, this

1125
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 2: team is well below five hundred, so especially with what

1126
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 2: Alva has been able to do defensively and just being

1127
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 2: a leader for this team is it's unbelievable. Can't be

1128
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 2: spoken enough about the other two players I want to

1129
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:57,919
Speaker 2: talk about here to kind of wrap up the second

1130
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 2: half preview Jeff McNeil, star Marte. These are probably the

1131
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 2: two actually legitimate biggest question marks on the offense moving

1132
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,919
Speaker 2: forward in the second half. Will Starling Marte ever come back? James,

1133
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 2: Gun to your head, Starling Marte. There's sixty five games left?

1134
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 2: Does he play thirty or more? The line is thirty

1135
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 2: and a half games over under, slightly under twenty five

1136
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 2: twenty five. I tend to believe the same way. I'm

1137
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,439
Speaker 2: gonna say something crazy I'm not really in a rush

1138
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 2: to get him back either that the offense has been

1139
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 2: proven without him, I'm gonna rush that we have a

1140
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 2: gaping hole in the corner of outfield. But he was

1141
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 2: so bad defensively that I'm like almost okay with giving

1142
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 2: up that because everybody else is hitting. That being said,

1143
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,720
Speaker 2: if he ever decides to run after balls or remember

1144
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 2: how to play right field, that will be incredibly valuable

1145
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 2: because he actually was swinging like a league average bat,

1146
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 2: which is significantly better than Tyrone Taylor gave us. Yeah,

1147
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 2: Towns also, he's been good, but he just can't he

1148
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,479
Speaker 2: gets exposed playing every day and then but that again,

1149
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 2: I keep coming back to. It seems like the spot

1150
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 2: to me, I were the Mets that might were I

1151
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 2: was most aggressive of the trade deadline. Yes, the going

1152
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 2: after a real corner outfielder that can continue to add

1153
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 2: to this already very good lineup, because there's definitely something

1154
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 2: concerned with Marte and also with Jeff who's been playing

1155
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 2: corner outfield since Iglacy has been hot and since Marte

1156
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 2: went down, where there's not really anything in the profile

1157
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 2: that makes you think that Jeff McNeil could turn this around.

1158
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 2: It's really just a Vibes thaying in the fact that

1159
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 2: those last few games before the break, he looked a

1160
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 2: little more comfortable, He looked a little bit more relaxed.

1161
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,720
Speaker 2: He just seems that he was swinging in a little

1162
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 2: bit better, the batpath, the pitch selection, everything seemed where

1163
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 2: it wasn't as good as was as good as it

1164
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 2: was when he was good, but definitely was not as

1165
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 2: bad as it was for the last few weeks. That's

1166
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,959
Speaker 2: something where if you even get one of those guys

1167
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 2: playing their best baseball, everything kind of changes a lot quickly.

1168
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even think we even need Jeff

1169
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 2: playing his best baseball. We just needed to play like

1170
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 2: a major league baseball player at this point. Like he

1171
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 2: has a negative war this year, Like that's that's insane

1172
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 2: for a guy who's like he's he is valuable in

1173
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: the field because he's a good second baseman, plays good outfield.

1174
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 2: That's how bad the bad has been for Jeff this year.

1175
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 2: He's he's completely killed any value that he's had from defense,

1176
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 2: on the base pass, whatever it's been. It's it's it's shocking,

1177
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 2: especially when you look at the splits two Jeff sitting

1178
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 2: one eighty at home with a four ninety three ops

1179
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 2: on the road two fifty nine with the seven to eight.

1180
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 2: If we can get two fifty nine with the seven

1181
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 2: away for Jeff McNeil in total in the second half,

1182
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 2: dangerous things could be happening with this Mets team. And

1183
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 2: that is a bad year for Jeff McNeil. I want

1184
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 2: that to be known. Yeah. Literally, If he becomes a

1185
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,959
Speaker 2: league average hitter and soy maright Te becomes the league

1186
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 2: average fielder, suddenly this team top to bottom one through nine,

1187
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 2: you don't want to fuck with, No, you do not

1188
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 2: want to run into them. You're like, holy shit. Lineup wise,

1189
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 2: this is this is a tough team to get out.

1190
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 2: And then you could bring like Jose Glaciers back to

1191
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 2: probably some kind of super utility role, which is probably

1192
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 2: where he's best served. I know everything has been amazing

1193
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 2: so far, but he's someone who's definitely due the regrets. Like,

1194
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 2: I don't think Jose Glacy is gonna keep up his

1195
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 2: his five ARP season pace, and he's on so far

1196
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,359
Speaker 2: in this season, which is significantly better, almost three times

1197
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 2: better than Luis Rayas. But that's a weird thing. And

1198
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 2: then the other weird tiny little cavey. I'm gonna throw

1199
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 2: it in here last second, just wherever he keeps thinking

1200
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 2: about it. Drew Gilbert, Drew Big Gilbert gonna be playing

1201
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 2: in Triple A games, probably by the end of next week,

1202
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 2: before the trade deadline. I think that he's someone who

1203
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 2: the Mets are secretly, quietly hoping can be a difference maker. Yeah,

1204
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 2: it can be like a little lightning rod cambering, a

1205
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 2: little bit of athaticism, a little bit of fire, a

1206
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 2: little bit of fury, can have a little bit better

1207
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 2: bat than Harrison Bay there and play center field well

1208
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 2: enough to play there sometimes. That's something that I think

1209
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 2: the Mets are hoping can kind of bring them and

1210
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 2: maybe make a tiny, a little difference here. Yeah, I

1211
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 2: mean even if you let's just say that's your Platuoa

1212
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 2: Tyrone and right field, right, I mean Tyrone gets to

1213
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 2: just face the lefties, Drew Gilbert versus the righties. That's

1214
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 2: something that could really help this team out too. I

1215
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 2: know we talked about like he'd be such a nice

1216
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 2: little spark, a little juice to bring to this team.

1217
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 2: But the team's got juice now with these young guys

1218
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 2: that've been playing, and how they're vibing, so I'm interested

1219
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 2: see what the Mets are gonna do. The second half

1220
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 2: is going to be crazy. As we told you on

1221
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 2: opening day before before anything happened, this team is going

1222
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,479
Speaker 2: to finish five games above five hundred or five games

1223
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 2: below five hundred. Five games above they make the playoffs,

1224
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 2: five games below they missed the playoffs. It is going

1225
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 2: to be a tediously long second half. Without a doubt

1226
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 2: it is. There are gonna be games that feel like

1227
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 2: are on for seven or eight hours and you're like, oh,

1228
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 2: it's only nine thirty at night, I'm exhausted, time to

1229
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 2: go to bed. It's going to be long, it's going

1230
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 2: to be tall, but you gotta love some baseball and

1231
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 2: the Mets are gonna be playing it. And this is

1232
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 2: all we should really be asking for, is fans, because

1233
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,919
Speaker 2: we're in a spot right now on July eighteenth. Second

1234
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 2: half is gonna start tomorrow. Every single game the Mets

1235
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 2: are gonna play at least for the next month is important.

1236
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 2: Like you ever if we should be in front of

1237
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 2: our TV at City Field as much as possible because

1238
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 2: this is critical, like this team could he could make

1239
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 2: the playoffs, like making the playoffs is fun, Like I

1240
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 2: love making the playoffs. If we make the playoffs this year,

1241
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 2: next year, mark you know, that will be the first

1242
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 2: time in Mets history they made the playoffs in consecutive years,

1243
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 2: like that would be really relevant saying true, No, I know,

1244
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 2: I don't think the twenty sixteen playoffs count. Well, oh okay,

1245
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 2: but you're gonna count this wild card. That's a little nonsense.

1246
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 2: Three games that was one game. One game is bullshit.

1247
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 2: Oh my god, okay, wild card to make it's not

1248
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,399
Speaker 2: the playoffs, Oh my god, all right, all right, I'll

1249
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 2: let it go. And also even if the team doesn't

1250
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 2: is able to make the playoffs, like the playoff matchups

1251
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 2: would be likely either the Braves or the Brewers, which

1252
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 2: both of those playoff matchups, Like if you if you're

1253
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 2: a Mets fan, you can't get juiced up for the

1254
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 2: storylines that could come from either of those playoffs series,

1255
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 2: the three game series in either of those places, Like

1256
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,359
Speaker 2: you have to check your palls because you're not fucking

1257
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 2: breathing right now that you spend three days in Atlanta

1258
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 2: and September. We're in October. That would be amazing. I

1259
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 2: don't know if I would if if We're lucky enough

1260
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 2: to have to play the Braves in the playoffs. I'm

1261
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,839
Speaker 2: locked in. The price doesn't matter. I gotta be down there.

1262
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 2: I just like, this is like, this is like, this

1263
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 2: is a lot of stake for the team in the

1264
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 2: second half. NW. It's amazing that we made this much

1265
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 2: progress in the first year with completely new regime, with

1266
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 2: half of the team as pure mercenaries on one year contracts,

1267
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 2: the other half the team being guys who we found

1268
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 2: out of fucking nowhere. It's just this is this is

1269
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 2: a fun spot to be for the team right now,

1270
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 2: and I think that everything with the growth that we've

1271
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 2: seen in the first half should make every single Mets

1272
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 2: fan really excited about what could happen the second half.

1273
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 2: And if it's not gonna be exciting, you know it's

1274
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 2: gonna be entertaining in a really horrible painful way. Yeah. Again,

1275
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 2: we just went through thirty different events that happened in

1276
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 2: eighty games that were noteworthy to talk about. We definitely

1277
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 2: forgot some. So at the absolute worst, you will get

1278
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 2: some entertainment and drama out of these New York Mets,

1279
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 2: as you always do. Guys, that's gonna be it for

1280
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 2: our second half preview. Actually, before we do end it, James,

1281
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 2: I got one question. Do the Mets make the playoffs?

1282
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 2: Yes or no?

1283
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 3: Yes?

1284
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: Wow?

1285
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, what's the reasoning? They just been playing fucking well.

1286
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 2: Like I think, if you look at the rest of

1287
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 2: the National League, I don't think these teams are that good.

1288
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 2: And like I also don't think the Mets are that good,

1289
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 2: but I think they're slightly better than the rest of

1290
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 2: the teams. Like I don't know, like the Padres, the Cardinals,

1291
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks, like none of these teams. The Pirates, I

1292
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 2: guess might be the best one, but none of these

1293
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 2: teams really scare me. And like we were lucky who

1294
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 2: have bet in a lot of these teams head to

1295
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 2: head already this season, So we already have a leg

1296
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 2: up and just got a way for the Padres lose

1297
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,280
Speaker 2: a few more games, follow up it further in the standings,

1298
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 2: and we're I think we got a good shot here.

1299
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 2: You gotta believe. I'm with you. I think that's can

1300
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 2: make the postseason. I think they will make the postseason.

1301
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 2: The vibes are good. OMG, the vibes are too good.

1302
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,640

1325
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 2: lead in the ninth well, I cry myself to sleep

1326
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:18,800
Speaker 2: remembering the twenty twenty two days. I gotta say, I

1327
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 2: I can't even imagine someone falling asleep to this podcast,

1328
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 2: like that's hilarious. Is something that conceptually someone could like

1329
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,959
Speaker 2: sleep listening to our voices? Yeah, I mean I I'd

1330
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 2: like to think that we're at least entertaining enough where

1331
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 2: you don't want to fall asleep, or maybe we're we're

1332
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,839
Speaker 2: so comforting to the ears that people are like, Wow,

1333
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 2: what a great nap I just had listening to Mets

1334
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,919
Speaker 2: up podcast with amazing voices these do have. We could

1335
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 2: do a mess up as mrs. I think. I think,

1336
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 2: I think on the one of these episodes on YouTube,

1337
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 2: we're gonna do a light goal for an ASMR podcast.

1338
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 2: Just whisper into the podcast the Mets blue the same. Oh,

1339
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 2: I hate this so much? All right, that's enough, end
