48

52
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: into the owner's box, yes, Steve Cohen's box. We were

53
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: watching games, chit chatting with the rich folk that were

54
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: hanging out in there. Hank is Aia, The Simpsons, Bethany Frankel,

56
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: Me and James were hanging around the people that honestly,

57
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: we're just not even remotely in the same tax bracket

58
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: as No a.

59
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: Tax day too, another thing to mention for this week.

60
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, Mark and I were rubbing elbows with some

61
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: wonderful people. And this was a owner's box, but it

62
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 2: was clear became clearly that there were multiple owners boxes.

63
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: We didn't meet Steve. Meet Steve.

64
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: We haven't met Steve. If you guys would certainly know.

65
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: But it was a surreal day. It was a wonderful Uh.

66
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: It was a wonderful way to kick off the season

67
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: that should be very big for us.

68
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to meet missus Cohen, We got to

69
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: meet the daughter Sophia. We got to meet a lot

70
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: of the Cohen conglomerate, which was really nice. We got

71
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: to hang out with some people, like you said, rubbing elbows,

72
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: drinking beers, having drinks. It was a fantastic time. Honestly,

73
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: pretty pretty high point of the weekend. I gotta say,

74
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: hanging out in Steve Cohen's box. Technically his box was

75
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: like above us in that he was hanging out in

76
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: the box above, but this was very much the Cohen

77
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: box as well, right on field level, right behind home plate.

78
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: You probably can't ask for a better view in the stadium, No, but.

79
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: This was the social box.

80
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: There seems to be like the real box, and this

81
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: was the social box, and we're very happy to be

82
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: part of the social box. Also, first first day breaking

83
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: out the new season of Mets up stickers, and glad

84
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: to say that Sophia Cohen, just like Mark me our parents,

85
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: put one right on the back of her phone case,

86
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: which which was.

87
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: Shocking at the moment where you're like, we gave it

88
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: to her, like, yeah, you know mets up podcast, it's

89
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: our podcast, we do. She goes, oh, okay, I'm gonna

90
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: put it right on my phone, no hesitation, bang slaps

91
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: it right on the back. Granted you might have a

92
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: phone case for every new day of the week, that's

93
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: a possibility, but still just.

94
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: The idea that the idea is Sofia Cohen, without even hesitating,

95
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: put our sticker on the back of her phone. I guess,

96
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: mister warm feeling inside my stomach.

97
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we were buzzing. We were buzzing. I

98
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: got in there and I was like, what is going on?

99
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: What is happening? The reason we were in there we

100
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: cannot yet share with you guys, But just for a

101
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: little insight of what's going on in the mets up

102
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: podcast world, some big things could be happening, and as

103
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: soon as it does, you guys will know all about it.

104
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: So keep an eye out on the socials, keep an

105
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: eye out all over the place, because hopefully we do

00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: have some big news coming here to the Mets Stub

107
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: podcast Now. As for the game, Opening Day was great

108
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: as well on the field as well as it was

109
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: off the field.

110
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: Before we hit the game, I want to talk about

111
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: Tom Sever Tom sever statue, Oh, go for it. I

112
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: was at Opening Day with my entire family. My dad,

113
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: growing up a Mets fan, was very big Tom Seaver fan.

114
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: My mom also was a big Tom Sever fan, mostly

115
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: because he was just a handsome gentleman. The ceremony was

116
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: a really wonderful time. We got again, my dad was very,

117
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: very very into the ceremony. We pulled up to City

118
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: Field before ten am, about nine to fifty five, and

119
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 2: Mark knows that me half my personality is just being

120
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: late for things, so my whole family kind of rides

121
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: about that same vibe as well. So being there that early,

122
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: just it was really really hammer home how important this

123
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: ceremony was. And just like looking around the crowd. I'm

124
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: sure you guys saw the pictures of social media. There

125
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: were probably a couple of thousands of people standing out

126
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: there in between the Jackie Robinson Rotunda on Jackie Robinson Day,

127
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: which was very nice that he was incorporating the ceremony

128
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 2: as well, and this was something that I do know

129
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 2: that the Mets reached out to the Cever family about

130
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: being like, do you feel okay sharing the ceremony with

131
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: Jackie Robinson because this happened to be the home opener

132
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: after the lockout, pushed to the home opener back two

133
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: weeks and they were being thrilled about that, which is

134
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 2: a wonderful thing. But place was jam packed Mets fans everywhere,

135
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: especially the Mets fans of an older demographic. I met

136
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 2: the source, Stu Finer, of of the Barstool sports advisors there.

137
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: Absolute legend. I'm jealous you got to meet Stu. I

138
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: Stu is one of the few people that can fire

139
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: me up at any given moment.

140
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely absolutely, and Stu was Stu like. People were

141
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 2: kind of giving Stu like, yes, Stue the soular shouting

142
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: him out, and he was giving one of these it's

143
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 2: very solemn ste see stop. Stever meant a lot to

144
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: a lot of Mets fans out there, and this was

145
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 2: truly an emotional situation. Howie Rose gave a great speech.

146
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: Steve con went up there and said some beautiful words.

147
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: He also smirked a little bit when he took gave

148
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: a Steve Cohen gave some credits to the Wolpons because

149
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: they did originally start this project, even though it was

150
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: it was twenty thirty forty years too late. And then

151
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: he took it over, of course, and he gave credit

152
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: to the Wolfpons, and the entire crowd booed, and you

153
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: could see Steve pass a bit of a wry smile

154
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 2: past as this was going on. But like Piazza came

155
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 2: up to speak, the Queensboro President came up to speak,

156
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 2: and then finally Nancy Seaver gave just a heartfelt rendition

157
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: of how much the Mets mean to Tom and how

158
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: the organization held so true with their family for so long,

159
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 2: surrounded by both of her daughters. There was at least

160
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: thirty percent of the grown men around me were crying. Literally,

161
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: my mother was crying. My dad looked like he was

162
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: a little bit teary. There.

163
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: It was water works everywhere.

164
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: It was.

165
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: Really it was a really beautiful ceremony, and I'm very

166
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: happy that Tom Seaver's memory is now going to be

167
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: commemorated forever into the field.

168
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 3: The only thing that was wrong.

169
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: With the ceremony was the fact that Tom sever couldn't

170
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: be here to see it.

171
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now that's the part that does, you know, make

172
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: it a little bit bittersweet here, is that it's finally

173
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: about time the Mets immortalized Tom Seaver. You know, they

174
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: got the jersey number retired and all that, but everyone,

175
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: you can't talk about the New York Mets without mentioning

176
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: Tom Seaver. And if there was ever a player in

177
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: Mets history to get a statue outside of the stadium,

178
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: it's Tom Sever. So it's about damn time that they

179
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: got that done. I've not gotten a chance to see

180
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,679
Speaker 1: the statue yet. I was not one of the people

181
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: who was at the ceremony. I was instead tailgating with

182
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: the seven line and having adult beverages because that's how

183
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: I roll out opening day. But it's gonna be there.

184
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: I was in no rush to see it. I honestly

185
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: want to take my time and be able to take

186
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: a look at it, take pictures, not be crowded around

187
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: with everybody. Like you said, there's like three thousand people there.

188
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: It was a small guy. I'm not getting a picture

189
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: with the sever statue. On opening The.

190
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: Pictures from overhead almost made it look like there were

191
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: more people there than I had thought, like I was.

192
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: I was comparing it to my sister who I was

193
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: with the game too, that like this was like a

194
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: music festival for old men, because my dad was like

195
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: wedging around, like trying to get closer, like trying to

196
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: get in near Howie. And anytime, like any of the

197
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: official Mets people walk through the crowd to get closer

198
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: to the stage, like people went ballistic, Like Gary Cohen

199
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: walked through, and everyone's.

200
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, ron Darling went through.

201
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: My dad's like Ronnie.

202
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: It's like this was a music festival for old men.

203
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: But it was a very nice, nice way to start.

204
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: The day, and it got the day started right because

205
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: Mets fans were feeling good. Mets fans were feeling great.

206
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: You get into the stadium, You got your Jackie Robinson shirt,

207
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: which was also maybe one of the better shirts they've

208
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 1: got away, no no sponsorships anywhere, clean T shirt. You

209
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: could wear it and not feel like you're shilling for

210
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: whatever company sponsored the shirt that you are wearing. And really,

211
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: like we said, got the vibe started a beautiful day

212
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: as well. Beautiful sixty degrees, Sonny. You couldn't ask for

213
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: a better day.

214
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: As good as it gets a city Field from the

215
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: outset of this game was absolutely rocking, rocking at levels

216
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: that I haven't felt city Field that a long time.

217
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 2: I do remember last year that June game against the Padres,

218
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 2: the first game with full crowds after COVID with the

219
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: grond versus Blakes noew on a Friday night. That was

220
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 2: rocking too, But this was this was There was a

221
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 2: different energy in the air at city Field this game.

222
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: And also there were major changes made all over the

223
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: ballpark that we noticed, like very quickly. All of the

224
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: screens are brand new, all of the animations are brand new.

225
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: The out of town scoreboys, brand news or the video

226
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: effects in City Field have been very seriously beefed up

227
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 2: this offseason.

228
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, the only thing that hasn't changed is the big

229
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 1: scoreboard in center field, but I think that's going to

230
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: change going into next year and we're gonna have the

231
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: largest one in all of Major League Baseball. Everything looks

232
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: great around the stadium. Also, did you notice, I'm because

233
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: we talked about the batters eye a lot, did you

234
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: notice that the the eminem party deck whatever it is

235
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: out in left field, normally it's blue with a lot

236
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: of the M and m's or party city stuff going

237
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: on behind it. It was a Matt black this time,

238
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: with only the scoreboard being the only thing that wasn't black.

239
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: We talked about hitters ee, we talked about distractions, and

240
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: I've talked about, like you know, the apple sometimes sticking

241
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: out from behind centerfield something that could be a distraction,

242
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: or the fact that there's so many different lines. I

243
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: think the left field painted black like that. I think

244
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: there's a real reason. I think it's z Osmber getting

245
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: behind that batter's eye issue.

246
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: It's a really good point. I didn't even notice.

247
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: That'd be something we could definitely keep an eye on

248
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: next few weeks as the Mets play more home games

249
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: and create more of a sample for a city Fields

250
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two park.

251
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: Factor, And honestly, it did help in this game. Of course,

252
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: we will get a little bit more into detail of

253
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: what happened, but we got to start off with Chris

254
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: babsolutely because Chris Bassett, what a beastis guy is. We

255
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: were so excited about him coming into the season, and

256
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: he's exceeded all my expectations.

257
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: Exceeded them running away flying colors.

258
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: He got into a little bit of trouble in the

259
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 2: first inning, but from that point on there was a

260
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: Cotel Marte double. He absolutely cruised afterwards. From that Caitel

261
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: Marte double in the first inning with one out, he

262
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: did not allow a hit another hit until the Dalton

263
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: VARs Show solo home run the sixth inning. So Chris

264
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: Bassett went almost a complete five innings without allowing a

265
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: hit and only lying two base runners during that time.

266
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: He wound up on the day throwing six innings, got

267
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: six strikeouts, only gave up one on run, two hits,

268
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: and two walks, which home opener from a guy who

269
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: was like the meat, the bulk, the oatmeal of your rotation.

270
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: This is as good as going to get. And Chris

271
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: bass is really showing off. He's flashing a ceiling that

272
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: we kind of alluded to when the trade went down

273
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: and hoped that would be there, and it seems very

274
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: apparent that he's going to be able to reach that

275
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 2: and possibly more as we move forward here.

276
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, his game has been elevated coming to New York.

277
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: We knew how good he was in Oakland, and it

278
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: seems like, like you said, Owen, he's a little Jeremy

279
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: Hefner a little sprinkletle of the Hefner magic, and this

280
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: guy's game has gotten better without a doubt. And what's crazy, too,

281
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: is he throws what like six pitches, and all of

282
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: them well, he.

283
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: Threw six different pitches in this game on Friday, and

284
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: the col led the way at thirty seven percent usage,

285
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: followed by his sinker to twenty three percent and fourteen

286
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: fastball fifteen percent. So in this game where Chris Bass

287
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: was so incredibly effective, they didn't give up any hits

288
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 2: at all, got plenty of strikeouts and plenty of whiffs.

289
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: He threw seventy five percent fastballs, that's unbelievable number. Then

290
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: came in his curve of twelve percent, and even that pitch,

291
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 2: which we've talked about being one of his outpitches, he

292
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: didn't even really seem to have a feel for it.

293
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: He had trouble locating it early and kind of forgot

294
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 2: about it until he got closer to the third time

295
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 2: through the batting order. But all said and done, he

296
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 2: had thirteen total woofs in the game to go along

297
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: with six strikeouts. Eight of those came on his cover,

298
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: a pitch that he barely even used in his first

299
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: start against Washington, which is even more fascinating about this,

300
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: Chris Bassett adding, he came into this game with a

301
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: completely different plan of attack for the Diamonbacks hitters than

302
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: he had for the Nationals.

303
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 3: And I do want to say that.

304
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: Those are the two teams because those objectively are two

305
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: of the worst teams in baseball. So Mets fans have

306
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: to realize that. And we're talking about all these incredible

307
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: pitching performances by our guys, but basses through twenty five

308
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: percent slide. There's less Saturday than that game against the

309
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,599
Speaker 2: Nationals compared to just four this past Friday against the Diamondbacks.

310
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: And in that game he combined for just thirty one

311
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 2: percent of cols and sinkers compared to the sixty percent

312
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 2: he threw a Friday afternoon.

313
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 3: So it's just so.

314
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: Fascinating and incredibly amazing that he can walk onto the

315
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 2: mound and be a completely different pitcher than whatever the

316
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: team could possibly have video on or possibly have a

317
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: game plan for even the last time the fans have

318
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 2: seen him, or even he could be planning to go

319
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: out and be that same pitcher, But he just doesn't

320
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: have a feel and he has the ability to pivot

321
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 2: when things aren't there fel right, and I'm very excited

322
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: to see.

323
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 3: What we have him Chris Bassett going forward.

324
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: There's a lot of the same things we said about

325
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: Marcus Stroman last year. The tool bag is so deep

326
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 2: that you can find different ways to beat teams, and

327
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: it's really wonderful watching Chris Bassett do that every five days.

328
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: I think what's sick about him too, is like you said,

329
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: like he threw like the seventy five percent essentially fastballs

330
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: between the cutter four seam and saying Gary, And what's

331
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: really sick about him is he tunnels the pitches so

332
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: well that when you have three pitches that essentially we

333
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: look like the exact same halfway to the plate and

334
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: then they go three different directions left, center and right

335
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: ever so slightly, that makes a huge difference. That makes

336
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: it so hard. And that's why a guy like him

337
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: can get away with throwing as many fastballs as we

338
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: say as when we talk about other pitches and times

339
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: we want them to mix up the pitches a little

340
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: bit more. Chris Bassett's repertoire allows him and the way

341
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: that he throws and tunnels pitches allows him to get

342
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: away with stuff like this, and again it gets the

343
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: dime backs lineup. Like you said, that does need to

344
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: be mentioned because Mets fans, we definitely do at some

345
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: times and you take a little bit of a deep

346
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: breath of the team's playing incredibly well in Bassetts look

347
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: great of course against the lower competition. Still, the Mets

348
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: were able to get the job done. And what was

349
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: great behind this great pitching performance by Chris Bassett was

350
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: the bats came alive. The bats really got hot. And

351
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I know there's some guys that did this

352
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: stuff a little bit earlier, but you know what I

353
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: have to mention right off the rip, Robinson Cano. Yep,

354
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: the game that I go to, the first home game

355
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: of the year, my favorite player, Robinson Cano goes yard

356
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: opposite field four hundred feet. Yeah, I mean, you guys

357
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: knew that was gonna happen. You knew Robinson Cano was

358
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna have a day if I was there.

359
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: And the best part is this home run happened the

360
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 2: exact time that we told fans to come meet up

361
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: with us by the Shay Bridge in the top of

362
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: the fourth inning of this game, and Robinson Gonno the

363
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: home run the second we got down there and there

364
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: were two kids around us.

365
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: I forgot their names because I.

366
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: Was honestly, I was kind of feel myself by that point,

367
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: and we were this is one we were working on

368
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: a whole other situation, so I was like kind of

369
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: floating at thin air.

370
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 3: But that was a funny situation.

371
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: In this game, Robinson Cano had three hard hit balls

372
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: and all were in the air.

373
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's kind of where the road ends

374
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: a little bit for Robinson Cano series. He did have

375
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: a great game one. I'll give him propsword s too,

376
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: Robinson you can played really well and he was a

377
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: big part of this offensive outcome as well. So it's

378
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: Jeff McNeil. I mean, how nice is it to see

379
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: Jeff McNeil swinging the bat like he has been this year.

380
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: He looks like the old Jeff McNeil. I'm so happy

381
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: I didn't get rid of this guy. I'm so happy

382
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: because he really does make this lineup a whole lot deeper,

383
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: a whole lot stronger, and a whole lot more difficult

384
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: to get out.

385
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: And it's just he's done so many things to help

386
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: us this early in the season, just this series alone,

387
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: when we didn't even mention it as the show started.

388
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: It turned out the Mets had a little bit of

389
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: a COVID outbreak on Friday morning.

390
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, forgot about about that.

391
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 2: But Brandon Nimomarkana, as you guys know by now, are

392
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: both on the COVID. Iel did not play the series

393
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: thrusting Jeff McNeil's Lee lof spot because I would say

394
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: those two guys are probably lead off one and Lee

395
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: Loft two. So now we got Jeff McNeil Lee lof three,

396
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: And in this series in total, he went four to

397
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: ten with three walks, two run scored, and a stolen base,

398
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: Like what's better than that of your leadoff spot?

399
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: And he played a great left field, which we'll mention

400
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: in Game two. He played a really really good left

401
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: field to the point we're like, we spoke about this

402
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: at times before, but McNeil's ability to play second base

403
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: and play the outfield as well as he does that

404
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: alone makes it so valuable on his team that could

405
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: use a player like that essentially play a middle infield

406
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: position and the outfield like that's it's not something you

407
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: find too often in Major League Baseball for.

408
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 2: Players, no, and he does them both incredibly well as

409
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: an entirely new element to this non new element. He

410
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: had an entirely different element to this roster than most

411
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 2: other players on it. And this is something that we

412
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: drove home in the off season. I was talked about

413
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: him being traded. That was one of our most listened

414
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: to episodes ever, and I think it's because the Jeff

415
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: McNeil case was so fascinating this offseason, and not that

416
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 2: either of us wanted him to be traded, but like

417
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: we just knew that it would be very hard based

418
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: on the free agents that were available and the types

419
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: of players the Mets had available to them on their

420
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: roster in their minor leagues, on their forty man that

421
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: there were gonna be a few other guys who could

422
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: do what Jeff does, And now that we're seeing him

423
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: with it seems to be his powers back. I wouldn't

424
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: want it any other way.

425
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: No, it's absolutely great, especially when he's you know, leading

426
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: off and getting on base like he was this series. Also,

427
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: you boys know we love a good sacrifice fly. Pete

428
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: Alonso a sacrifice fly at though. Two that's right, two

429
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: of them, two of them. I think the second one

430
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: happened when we were in the suite. Yeah, you know,

431
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit of a blurry mind there.

432
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: But a couple of sack flies differ only Yeah, Dinger's

433
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: only a couple sack flies though, you know that gets

434
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: us excited.

435
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially when it was that one in Foul Territory

436
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 2: in the first sitting. And the wild Man Joey core

437
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: is just.

438
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: Sense crazy man. He's insane. Like you said, he probably

439
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: has never stopped at a yellow light. He probably just

440
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: runs red lights. We talked about him being stabbed before

441
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: when we had his introductory episode. This guy's insane, and

442
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: I think I might know why. It's because he sends

443
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: everyone at third base at every single moment possible. He

444
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 1: wants you to make a play, and so far, it's

445
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: kind of work for the.

446
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 2: Mets, especially against again, these poor teams that we've been playing,

447
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: especially poor teams on the defensive side of the ball.

448
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: You can put your team in a situation where the

449
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: other team needs to make a perfect play to get

450
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: an out, and against teams like the Diambacks, like seven

451
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: times out of ten, it is probably not going to happen.

452
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: And how about our boy Francisco lindor everybody, I'm gonna

453
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 1: curse right now, so cover year, shut the fuck up

454
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: with the Lindor. Hey, this dude is so fucking good.

455
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: We had someone sitting behind us, me and my dad

456
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: at the stadium, and when Lindor in the first sitting

457
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: had like a little bit of a weak round ball

458
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: that was almost a double play, he went, ay, here

459
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: he goes again. Three hundred million dollars for this? Are

460
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: you kidding me? I was looking for him. I was

461
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: hunting him down in the ninth inning when Lindor hit

462
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: his second or eighth inning, when Lindor hit his second

463
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: home run to really put the game away. Both sides

464
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: of the played as well. By the way I was

465
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: looking for him, I wanted to say, don't you cheer

466
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: for him. You can't cheer for him if you're gona

467
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: hate him. When he hits a ground ball out. It's baseball.

468
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: The best players of all time fail seven out of

469
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: ten times. It can't wrap my head around it. When

470
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: Lindor in the first inning of a game makes a

471
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: ground ball on, you're ready to ride the guy. And

472
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: then he hits two home runs the rest of the game.

473
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: Like the way he's played this season, is Lindor we expected.

474
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: This is the Lindor we paid for. He's been unbelievably.

475
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 2: Good, and Lindor's hustled even not wind up in that

476
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: double play, got that Sack fly home in that first sitting.

477
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 3: But that's beside the point, because he had two monster

478
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 3: home runs.

479
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: The first one when we were hanging out in the

480
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: suite fifth inning, Knocksack Davies out of the game as

481
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: the tank job, and then the eighth inning to just

482
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: a completely low the roof off of City Field, going

483
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: back to back with Starling Marte to just send the

484
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: Sydney Fields faithful into an actual.

485
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 3: Friends like that was.

486
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 2: I don't like we I had a few drinks at

487
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,239
Speaker 2: that point, but it just felt like I was like

488
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 2: floating in the air when that second home run left

489
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 2: the park and the plays was jumping.

490
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: Oh sure, it was pure bliss. That was. Like you said,

491
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: there was a lot of energy in the stadium this weekend.

492
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: And I'll talk a little bit more about a game too,

493
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: because I was there as well. But the crowd was eager, eager,

494
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: eager for anything to cheer about, eager for this Mets team.

495
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: There was a different feel. It feels like the Mets

496
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: fans know that we're really good. It feels like they

497
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: know that we have eye expectations and not that we

498
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: expect perfection. But boy o boor, we excited when this

499
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: team plays well, and you could hear it in the

500
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: cheers with every single thing. I mean the Starling Marte

501
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: home run, people were going wild for that. He crushed

502
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: the ball as well. But I love seeing that all

503
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: the guys made some sort of an impact here on

504
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: opening Day, whether it was on the mound, in the field,

505
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: on the base paths, at the plate. It was a

506
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: very much a team effort.

507
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, very too much a team effort. I mean, that's

508
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 2: gonna happen when you score ten runs the limited the

509
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: teams it just won through eight innings. Then there Sean

510
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 2: ree fully led a few win in the ninth inning

511
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: when you just you're just begging a guy to throw

512
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: strikes and get out of a game with a nine

513
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 2: round lead. But that was not going to take away

514
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: the shine off this game. This was an incredible way

515
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 2: to start the season at home.

516
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: YEP, high for the Boys, high for the Mets. We're

517
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: feeling really good going into Game two, and honestly, on

518
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: the pitching side again, let's keep talking about it. My goodness,

519
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: the pitching has been so good, especially from the starting

520
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: rotation side. I I should say, that's really the part

521
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: that's shine the most of the bullpen. We'll get into

522
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: it here in Game two. But Carlos Carrasco on the bump,

523
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: My goodness, this is a completely new Carlos Carrasco. You

524
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: want to talk about. We're waiting for Francisco Indoor. Here

525
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: he is. Here's Carlos Carrasco. Everybody, this is the picture

526
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: we were waiting for from him.

527
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 2: It's funny you say brand new Carlos Carrasco, because this

528
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 2: is really just vintage Carlos Carrasco returning to form after

529
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,239
Speaker 2: a couple of years of being having some injuries now

530
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: seems to have gotten over. This is just new Carlos Carasco.

531
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: For Mets fans, what you really should have said, because yeah,

532
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 2: holy crap, is this guy back back back back?

533
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 3: I think?

534
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 2: Is this also just be big a fancy baseball nerd

535
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 2: and being very on top of Carlos Carrasco for like

536
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: five or six years running and understanding when this man

537
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 2: has his change up, there's almost no stopping him. Our

538
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: guy had eight strikeouts in five innings. The changeup had

539
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: a silly, putrid, disgusting ten whiffs on sixteen swings, and

540
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 2: thew and the and the fastball even got five whiffs

541
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: on sixteen swings. He was throwing every single thing low

542
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: in the zone and that was really helping his fastball,

543
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 2: his change up and is slyther similar to bast of tunneling.

544
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: All play completely off each other, All look exactly the

545
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: same three chords of the way to the plate, and

546
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 2: the fastball is sitting there for the called strikes, getting

547
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: some whiffs, the change up ducking out of his zone,

548
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: and the slyly just missing the barrel. And if this

549
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: is what we're gonna get from Carlos Carrasco this year,

550
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be over the moon, like I'm gonna dance

551
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: in the streets, like this is the guy who's gonna

552
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 2: change the entire complexion of this team.

553
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 3: And I'm really happy that the guy who.

554
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 2: I always knew was in there and I told Mets

555
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: fans to wait for and be patient with last year,

556
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 2: actually looks like he might be back.

557
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: No, it's so nice because like last year, we all

558
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: know the first run fiasco that Carlos Carrasco had, our

559
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: first sitting, first run fiasco that he had, and it

560
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: was like, what's going on here. We're getting a little worried,

561
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: like this is happening every game and even the springs

562
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: on a little bit. But these first two starts this year,

563
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: Grancy did give up, you know, that nuke to Nelson

564
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: Cruise in his first start, but he's looked great otherwise, Like,

565
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: that's the only run he's given up.

566
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 2: Rob says, the only run Carls Grass was given up

567
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 2: all year is a first st inning home run to

568
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 2: Nelson Cruz that like got over the wall by it

569
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: just the hair.

570
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he's just been so fantastic. It's huge

571
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: to the future of this team. As long as Carls

572
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: Carrasco's healthy and looking like this, the rotation just gets

573
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: that much deeper. In the Mets right now, on paper,

574
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: statistically have the best rotation in baseball, and that's without

575
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: Jacob de Gram. That's a crazy sentence.

576
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 2: It's all very good and well, but sadly, there was

577
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 2: not much other goodness to talk about in this game

578
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 2: besides for Carrasco's gem.

579
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: I will talk about Jeff McNeil's cash though crashing up

580
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: against the wall. I talked about how good he was

581
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: in the outfield and this game in particularly, made some

582
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: really nice plays. He's been getting some really good reads

583
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: and jumps on the ball. For a guy who's supposed

584
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: to be a primary infielder, you wouldn't know it if

585
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: you watched him play left field. He does a really

586
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: good job out there, and what I thought was great.

587
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: I talked about the energy, the hype, everything going on

588
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: at the stadium. One McNeil, I think, is a crowd

589
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: favorite to begin with. I think every Mets fan love

590
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: Jeff McNeil. Whether you're an old school or a new

591
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: school guy, you can appreciate the he plays the game

592
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: and how he wears his heart on his sleeve. And

593
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: after he made that catch, he basically got a curtain

594
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: call in the outfield. He made the catch, everyone went

595
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: fucking crazy. It was as if the Mets just got

596
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: a walk off win. It was so loud when he

597
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: crashed into the wall and made that catch, and then

598
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: he throws the ball in two seconds, everyone's cheering, standing

599
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: up Jeff McNeil. Jeff McNeil. He finally acknowledges the crowd. Yeah,

600
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: Like it was crazy, Like I've never in my lifetime

601
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: as a Mets fan seen that reaction for a play

602
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: where you it's not even robbing of a hoole run.

603
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: He just crashed into the wall, made a nice catch

604
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: like to stop a double. But Jeff McNeil, he gets

605
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: all the hype. Everyone's loving him right now. They're drinking

606
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: the kool aid and so much.

607
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 2: I love that the Mets fans are getting Jeff's back

608
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 2: because we just saw how much he struggled last year

609
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: and how much that hurt him, Like it was so

610
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: obvious and used to talk about Jeff McNeil wearings emotions

611
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: on his sleeve. Jeff McNeil wears his emotions directly on

612
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 2: his face, like he screams and he curses and he

613
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: throws things, and it's it sucks because we've seen how

614
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: good this guy can be, and we've seen how important

615
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: he is to this team, especially this roster, and he

616
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 2: keep driving that home. He adds a different element to

617
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: this roster that we really don't get otherwise. And he's

618
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: been a good outfielder his entire career, Like he's quite

619
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: the good second basement as well. But Jeff McNeil is

620
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: just a damn ballplayer and that's the best part about him.

621
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: But unfortunately that's about where the good stuff ends here

622
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: for the Mets in this game, it wasn't that necessarily

623
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: played bad, just didn't play good. The Diamondbacks beat them,

624
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: of course, and it all got started with the seventh inning.

625
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: And this is gonna be a recurring theme. I just

626
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: I just have a feeling that we're gonna talk about

627
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: this because we're now, what three episodes into the twenty

628
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: twenty two season, and it's been a yeah, three for

629
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: three Joelie clean sixth inning, shut up everyone around us.

630
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: But he comes out for the seventh and it was

631
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: the face I believe either Seth Beer a Sith Beer.

632
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: Seth Beer walked him, night walked the rope, the single rope,

633
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: the single Okay, yeah, he had a great day Seth Beer.

634
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: By the way, the fact they hit him like seventh

635
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: in that lineup when everyone hits about one to twenty

636
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: is criminal. Tory Leavello should be fired, but that should

637
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: have been something that happened a few years ago. Anyway,

638
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: he came out for the seventh after sitting down, which

639
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: It just seems like is the kiss of death for

640
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: Mets relievers is sitting on the bench. I don't know

641
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: what is going on there. They can't come out and

642
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: be effective for the first batter of their face. He

643
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: walked in and gets taken out of the game. Lugo

644
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: comes in, and Lugo looked bad. There's no way around it.

645
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: He looked bad, and I'm concerned.

646
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 3: No, he looked really awful.

647
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: He just promptly gave up a home run to surgery

648
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: of al Kintara, who should really never be hitting home

649
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: runs ever in Major League Baseball games. Then he walked

650
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 2: Alton varshow, and then he led another RBI double.

651
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 3: He on here in Endoz. These are just things that

652
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 3: can't happen.

653
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 2: And this is a really scary adding for Lugo because

654
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 2: we saw his velocity down again. It wasn't as low

655
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 2: as it was in Philadelphia, but it was still lowering

656
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: his yearly averages last year and where we've seen him

657
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 2: sit in most of his career. And he made an

658
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 2: adjustment that we have particularly both been hammering home where

659
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 2: he basically was only throwing fastballs and curveballs, the two

660
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: pitches that have always been most effective for him, just

661
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 2: like the bare bones of his repertoire what makes him

662
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: great and how he can kind of deconstruct what he's

663
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: been trying to do and maybe get himself back on track.

664
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 2: And of course, one of the only sinkers he threw

665
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 2: in the entire auting was right down Broadway to al

666
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: Katara that he sent out of the yard, and that

667
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: in and of itself, not executing a pitch that he's

668
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 2: rarely throwing and putting us in, putting us behind late

669
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: in this game is just not what we want from

670
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: a guy who's supposed to be one of the better

671
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 2: relievers in this pen.

672
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was in the bathroom actually when the home

673
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: run happened to Sergio off your fault, it could have

674
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: been It very well could have been my fault there.

675
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: Your boy had to use the bathroom. Rayn Randaz I

676
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, that picture was just right down the middle, right,

677
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: It's just literally right down the middle. And it was

678
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: like ninety one, which was concerning too, because we know

679
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: Lugo's not a ninety nine ninety eight guy, but he

680
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: usually sits in that ninety four ninety five is range

681
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: with the fastball. That was a little bit concerning that

682
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: he was throwing slow, and I even remember like a

683
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: couple you know, appearances before. I was like, he just

684
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: doesn't really have that zip. He wasn't really sharp. I

685
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: don't think it's an injury thing. I hope not, because

686
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: again Seth Lugo is important to this team. We need

687
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: him to get back on track in order for this

688
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: team to be as good as they should be. But

689
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: when you give up a home run to Sergio Alcintara,

690
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: who in nine hundred games throughout all the levels of

691
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: minor league baseball, whatever he's done foreign baseball, I'm including

692
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: Winter leagues year for Sergio Alkintara, twenty two home runs

693
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: in his nine hundred and eight games of any sort

694
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: of professional baseball played on me, you can't. You can't

695
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: give up a home run. I if you could have

696
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: given me a thousand players in Major League Baseball to

697
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: hit a home run before Sergio Awkin, I would never

698
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: pick him. There's no way. He's he's horrible. I don't

699
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: know how else to say it. I couldn't. If you

700
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: would have said, bet your life that Sergio Aalkintara hits

701
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: a home run here, I would have bet it.

702
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 2: I wanted to extend my sincerious apologies to Sergio Aalkintara's

703
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 2: friends and family for the massive bricochet shot he's getting

704
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 2: in this segment of the Mets Podcast. Yeah, if Very's

705
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: a nice guy, hasn't deserved all this, But there's no

706
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: reason he should be hitting home runs off of Seth Lugo.

707
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 3: And also, I'm hating.

708
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: Hating that early in the season, Joelia Rodriguez has just

709
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: become the absolute goat of Mets Twitter and the escapegoat

710
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 2: for anything that bad ever happens to this team. The

711
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 2: guy's stuff looks good. His lastly was down this game,

712
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 2: similarly to Seth Lugo. But I'm just gett chalked up

713
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 2: to being early in the season. Like, the stuff still

714
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: looks good, like the change up looks good, the breaking

715
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 2: stuff looks good.

716
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: Like.

717
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 2: I just I really hate that for some reason, every

718
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: single person on Mets Twitter is just hammering home the

719
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 2: fact that the Mets got fleeced in his trade by

720
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 2: the Yankees from Castro, who was objectively fine forever. Like

721
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 2: Miguel Castro was never one of our higher leverage relievers.

722
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 2: Miguel Castro was never someone who came in the game

723
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 2: and every single Mets fan was like, ah, thank god,

724
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 2: Miguel Castro, one of the best relievers in baseball. Like

725
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 2: this is just revision, is history on what happened this

726
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: trade and the Mets Ballpennia Lefty. It's ridiculous that people

727
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 2: are just absolutely chastising this trade so much because Joeli

728
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 2: Rodriguez haz allowed a couple guys on base early in

729
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: the season and gave up one home run to objectively

730
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 2: one of the best catchers in baseball.

731
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the guy that is a perennial All

732
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: Star at the position. So yeah, the Joellygoat thing. It's

733
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: frustrating because I see why people are.

734
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 2: Saying he doesn't make logical sense. But just like, yeah,

735
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: just relax for a second. It's April seventeenth. As we're

736
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: recording this, April eighteenth, hopefully we're listening to it. There's

737
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: a lot of season left, a lot of season, a lot.

738
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: Of season left, and the Mets did fight back, it

739
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: was a little bit too late. Starling Marte crushed the

740
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: two run home run. Absolutely loves Starling Marte. That guy's

741
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 1: got a lot of juice. He's playing good baseball. He's

742
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: hitting the ball, putting in play, stealing bases. He's brought

743
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: another Again. We talked about Jeff MacNeil bring a different

744
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: angle to this team. Starling Marte brings different angle to

745
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: this team that this Mets roster has lacked massively in

746
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: the past before, which is speeding a little bit of

747
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: pop in that bat.

748
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and then we had the Diamonbacks on the ropes.

749
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: After that Martell home run, Francisco Lindora worked a very

750
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 2: casual four pitch walk.

751
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 3: And if Pete Alonzo comes up.

752
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: As the go ahead run with a pitcher who can't

753
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 2: find the strike zone, and he swung at the first

754
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 2: pitch he rolled over on a fastball color a sinker.

755
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: I remember exactly what it was. I don't remember if

756
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: it was Seeing Kennedy or Joe Mantoply.

757
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: By this point, I think this was Ian Kennedy at

758
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: this point was a.

759
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: Professional reliever by all means, but not exactly someone who

760
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: strikes fear into her into the opposing hitters.

761
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: There's a reason he's on the Diamondbacks.

762
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: Better team didn't pick away, of course, I mean, he's fine,

763
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 2: but whatever, Pete jumps on the first pitch a fastball

764
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 2: that wasn't exactly not hittable, but I wouldn't call it

765
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: something in Pete's power alley, and Pete, you know, comes

766
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 2: up like a laboratory retriever, like he wants to do

767
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 2: everything to make us love him every single second of

768
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: the day. Instead of taking a pitch on the other

769
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 2: half and sending it to right center and keeping the

770
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: inning alive, he just easily rolled it over ground.

771
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 3: Ball inning over.

772
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, sucked the first Patch stadium like a balloon. It

773
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: went from ruckus and a madhouse to man, I think

774
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: a funeral is about to happen. This game might be over.

775
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: It got really quiet, really quickly. A lot of again,

776
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: a lot of angry Mets fans. It was this kind

777
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: of felt like a theme for I was sitting around

778
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: people who were just saying such horrible things about it.

779
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: I's been so good this year.

780
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: I'll tell you, this is what you get for getting

781
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 2: those tickets down low. You gotta go upstairs back with

782
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 2: the real fans.

783
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: I know, right, I'm getting I'm getting around some Yankee

784
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: Met fans around here feels like where you don't do

785
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: everything right exactly one hundred percent of the time. It goes,

786
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: you're terrible, but we know that Pete's been great, and

787
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: of course we'll talk about his performance in Game three.

788
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: That was it, though, that's we lost. We lost that one.

789
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: There's nothing else about it. We played not well and

790
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks just played a little bit better. Yeah, but

791
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: still positives to take out of it. Carrasco looked great,

792
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: McNeil playing good defense, Martaye swinging the bat well, Like

793
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: there were still good things about this game. It's just

794
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: it's hard to win when you score two runs against anybody.

795
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 2: Definitely, and this was a game where you really felt

796
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 2: the loss of Nemo and Kanaha, some of the big

797
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: fiber in this Mets roster. Like basically, you for a

798
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 2: whole series, you lost two of your top three on

799
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 2: base percentage guys on you in your entire lineup, and

800
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 2: it's very hard to.

801
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:04,719
Speaker 3: Make that up.

802
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 2: Otherwise, with the likes of Travis Jankowski, Matt Reynolds, right

803
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 2: fielder Nick Plumber got on this roster, you gotten that

804
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 2: bat Sunday, But like, it's just significantly worst players got

805
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 2: reps in at bats than Brandon Nemo, Mark Kanaha during

806
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: this game. And it's obvious and not that those players

807
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 2: are bad. They're just not as good as Brandon. When Markanna,

808
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 2: we know that you.

809
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 3: Can watch it.

810
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 2: You've watched these guys play for the last two weeks.

811
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 2: Brandon will play for the last five years. Like these

812
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: are quality baseball players who do many things well, especially

813
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 2: have the plate, especially in terms of getting on base,

814
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: and this Mets lineup needed that.

815
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 3: On Saturday. It just lacked.

816
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: It just didn't get it, couldn't get anything going. Zach

817
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: Allen was good too. Quite is gonna run into that.

818
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: You can't win every single game. You're not gonna win

819
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: all one sixty two. Mets are still in a good position,

820
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: but it definitely did leave a little bit of uneasiness

821
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: going into Game three of the series on Sunday, Easter Sunday,

822
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: where we had David Peterson make it his first start

823
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two for the New York Mets going

824
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: up against the Diamondbacks and Umberto Castellanos I believe was

825
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: his name. Who I can't even believe this guy's in

826
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: the major again. I'm sorry. We wanted to talk about

827
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: how Chase Anderson had nothing last year. On Berto Castianos,

828
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: there was eighty six and nothing breaks there's nothing honestly

829
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: good about him, and the Mets for some reason couldn't

830
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: hit him to start the game, which was crazy. But

831
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: let's talk about David Peterson because I know you got

832
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: a lot about him. He's looking pretty good.

833
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,239
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm on the schedule now where I throw out

834
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: the tweet every single time David Peterson pitches, because he's

835
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 2: pitching really well and he's doing things that Mets fans

836
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: should be aware of. He went four and to third

837
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 2: innings on Sunday, allowing three hits, giving up two walks

838
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 2: and four strikeouts. And I know, the four and thirds

839
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: innings eighty pitches doesn't really seem that great.

840
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 3: He only allowed three hard.

841
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: Hit balls, and he would have gotten through this fifth inning,

842
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: I'd say with ease if there wasn't for some crazy

843
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 2: weather going on the fourth inning of this game that

844
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: basically blew a ball away from Starling Marte. It was

845
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: a weird mix of tons of wind and tons of sun.

846
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 2: It made the outfield in cityfield while it was very cold.

847
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: There's untenable conditions to play baseball. Sing Marte lost a

848
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 2: fly ball, and then there was just a ball at

849
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 2: Francisco Lindor could have gotten to it could have gotten

850
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 2: out that he ended up not getting to. It was

851
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 2: okay Peterson worked out if it didn't give.

852
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 3: Him any runs. But if not for that tough inning, we.

853
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 2: Would have seen Peterson breeze through the fourth and the

854
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 2: fifth and be able to stick in this game a

855
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 2: little longer. But again, what he's doing for this bottom

856
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 2: of the Mets rotation is incredibly, incredibly important right now.

857
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 2: He threw plenty of sliders in this game, third most

858
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 2: he's ever thrown a game in his major league career,

859
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 2: thirty percent verse, thirty three percent fourteen fastballs, and just

860
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 2: nineteen percent sinkers. An adjustment that I talked about a

861
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 2: lot at the beginning of last year. That slitherer had

862
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 2: five whiffs on nine swings and five more called strikes

863
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 2: for forty two percent csw rate.

864
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 3: And we use that term a.

865
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 2: Couple times for people new here, that you're called strikes

866
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 2: plus whiffs all the strikes that you are getting.

867
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 3: That's the rate of it.

868
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 2: The biggest improvement that Peterson has made this year it

869
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: seems like it's sticking, is velocity. Every single pitch is

870
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,479
Speaker 2: at least up a tick, and that four scene fastball

871
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 2: broke ninety six miles an hour on Sunday for just

872
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 2: a third time in his young.

873
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: Career, which is huge for a guy who had been

874
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: sitting in kind of like the low nineties.

875
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: Yes, Sin, it's also huge for a guy who's literally huge,

876
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 2: like Peterson, who has such incredible extension home plate, because

877
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 2: his perceived velocity's always going to be a mile or

878
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 2: two higher, a mile or two per hour higher than

879
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 2: what it actually gets, so that ninety six comes on hitters,

880
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 2: it feels like ninety eight at the plate because he's

881
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: releasing that ball three inches from your face, because he's

882
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 2: a giant.

883
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:06,959
Speaker 3: This is incredible for David Pearson.

884
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 2: The fact that he's shown that now he might actually

885
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 2: have league average stuff and above league average velocity means

886
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 2: that he's gonna be able to get major league hits

887
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: out consistently. And again he's not getting through the line

888
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 2: for the third time, not ready for that yet, similar

889
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 2: to Tyler McGill, we're not gonna expose these guys to that.

890
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 2: But what David Peterson is doing for this team right now,

891
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 2: without Jacob deGrom and without Taiwan Walker is monumentally important,

892
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 2: and he deserves a lot of props.

893
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thoroughly impressed with the performance that David

894
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,240
Speaker 1: Peterson had after coming off of a really good performance

895
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 1: again in Philadelphia, which definitely was a much stronger lineup.

896
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: He's showing Mets fans, he's showing the coaches, everybody, he's

897
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: got the chops. He's looking like the David Peterson we

898
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: saw in twenty twenty. That really impressed a lot of people,

899
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: not just for the Metsburg round baseball of like, hey,

900
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: it's a good little picture right here for the Mets.

901
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: Good good left handed guy that they can go to

902
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: every five days. He's filling in very nicely in this rotation,

903
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: was huge for us. And then piggyback Trevor Williams right

904
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: off of him did pretty well as well. Like the

905
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: Mets bullpen was great. Game we have to talk about that.

906
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: If we want to talk about the bat in Game two,

907
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: they're great.

908
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 2: In Game three, you said Williams was great. He didn't

909
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 2: even finish. He got through Peterson's last inning and then

910
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: gave him a couple hits. Chasing Shreve then through two

911
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 2: winnings afterwards. I kind of like Chasing Shreve as a

912
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 2: two winning guy. It's kind of nice that he's becomes.

913
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 2: He's become very comfortable in that role. And of course

914
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 2: our guy Drew Smith just won't allow anybody to score

915
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 2: around on him.

916
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: Knock so good, he's so good, and as good as

917
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: the pitching was, it did take a while for the

918
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: Mets to score, which was frustrating. Again I mentioned him

919
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: Berto Castianos being just so horrible. He's just not good

920
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 1: at all. I'm disgusted by even talking about him giving

921
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: up no earned runs, which is insane. But the bats

922
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: eventually did breakthrough. We got some luck here and there,

923
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: we got some power. The Mets did enough.

924
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, finally in the sixth thing of this game, again,

925
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: a couple of innings after we lost on Berto Castianos,

926
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: who walked three Mets and only struck out one in

927
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 2: four innings of work, while the Diamondbacks made the most

928
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 2: unnecessary diving catches I've ever seen this just an entire

929
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: weekend series in my entire life. But again, sixth inning,

930
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 2: we finally broke it open. And while the Westcobar got

931
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 2: a nice cheap bo that uh, because the guy just

932
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: he just gets doubles every single time he plays baseball.

933
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: Hustle double hustle double.

934
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was a little like a little dinker

935
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 2: over the first basement. But that's what it doesn't matter.

936
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 2: Double in the score sheet, got the first run in

937
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 2: and then our old friend Oliver Perez came in with

938
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 2: a man with Escobaran and Dom Smith coming up. Dom

939
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 2: worked a very nice walk against the lefty, which is

940
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 2: something that we don't see him do very often, which

941
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 2: is something I'd love to see him do more if

942
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 2: you're gonna be in the lineup every day. And then

943
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 2: finally we've been beating this drum for weeks. A great

944
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 2: use of the bench after Dom Smith, JD. Davis came

945
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: up to face Oliver Perez rather than Travis Jankowski and

946
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: roped an RBS single into left center field.

947
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 3: That's exactly what.

948
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 2: You have to do when you have one of the

949
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 2: biggest benches in baseball and the guy like Oliver Prez

950
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: on the mountd you've got like JD.

951
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 3: Davis sitting on the bench.

952
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Aliver Prez is forty years old. He was traded

953
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: to the Mets like sixteen years ago or whatever. It was, like,

954
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: it's so long that this guy's been in the league.

955
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: And the fact that JD Davis, like you said, crush

956
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: his left handed pitch. It was on the bench. It

957
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: was really really nice to see Buck go to him

958
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: because there have been times this year you guys have

959
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: heard us talk about it. Where we go, why is

960
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: the pit and shader coming up? In this situation? He

961
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: finally went to it and it worked out. Hopefully this

962
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: also leads JD to get a little hot because he's

963
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: been on the schnid a little bit here. Hopefully that

964
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: knocked him off in.

965
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, And as the dch options on this team

966
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 2: have not exactly blown us away, j D is.

967
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 3: Someone who could rise to the top.

968
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 2: And I'm not I don't want to give up on

969
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 2: JD yet because the guy still really damn good.

970
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 3: Hither and JD.

971
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 2: Davis made another very interesting play right after he hit

972
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 2: this single. James McCann came up after him and hit

973
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 2: a pretty regular looking fly ball to left field, something

974
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: that wasn't deep but also wasn't shallow, just enough for

975
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 2: Dom Smith to think he could score. Crazy Man Joey

976
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 2: Korr of course is going to send him on that

977
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 2: because I'm not wasting an opportunity for a sacrifice fly now, No, no,

978
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 2: sir ree Bob. There was a bang bang sack fly.

979
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 2: It looked like Dom timed it up pretty well. But

980
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: there was kind of a sense afterwards that there was

981
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: maybe the chance that Dom left early, which is something

982
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 2: that Dom Smith would do. He's a very excit, excitable

983
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 2: baseball player. So as this was going on, it looked

984
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 2: like there was a chance that diamonbacks going to appeal

985
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: at their JD. Davis heady play. Just dances off first base.

986
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 2: He stands thirty feet off the bag and kind of

987
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 2: starts like making moves towards second Alva Perez hearing yale

988
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 2: from his infield as any baseball players ever been trained

989
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 2: to do. Steps off rows are to a short stop.

990
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 2: Rookie Heraldo Perdomo has he looks like a fine player.

991
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 2: He does somethings well. He also does some things not well.

992
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 2: He's been known more for his defense as he's come

993
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: through the league. Thought he made a heavy play of

994
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 2: himself and was like, wait, we want to appeal. I

995
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 2: have the ball. I don't want to tag JD. Davis

996
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 2: and create a new baseball plays. I know that kills

997
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 2: a chance for an appeal. I'm gonna throw it back

998
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: to third base and appeal right now. But little did

999
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 2: he know that the second you make a baseball play

1000
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 2: after a sacrifice fly, the chance for an appeal is

1001
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 2: all over. So now the appeal was dead dom run

1002
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 2: counts and JD's on second base because nobody tags him.

1003
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: It was very much a good I'm gonna drop one

1004
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: of our favorite words of the last few episodes a

1005
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: microcops for Arizona Diamondbacks baseball. They look very confused, they

1006
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: look very lost, they look like they don't really know

1007
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: what they're doing all the time. And falls on the

1008
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: manager's shoulders a little bit here. I know they're a

1009
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: young team, but boy, oh boy, do they play some

1010
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: just bad baseball.

1011
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't great again.

1012
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 2: Another microcosm for this is our buddy Drew watched the

1013
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 2: game on Friday, and Drew knows baseball.

1014
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 3: He likes baseball.

1015
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 2: He scored the game winning walk off runner a softball

1016
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 2: game on Saturday morning, So big song.

1017
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 3: What else can we say about the guy?

1018
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 2: But he texted us in the group chat, was like,

1019
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 2: these Diamondbacks don't really seem to know what's going on

1020
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 2: out there, And I was like, no, they certainly do not.

1021
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: But you want to talk on microcosm again the third

1022
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 2: time in as many sentences. After this game, JD. Davis

1023
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 2: credited Buck show Walter for highlighting many of the rules,

1024
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 2: especially this appeal rules, specifically in spring training, letting the

1025
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 2: team know that there was ever a fifty to fifty

1026
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 2: shot an appeal. Just give yourself up because the second

1027
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 2: that a different baseball plays made you lose the opportunity

1028
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 2: to appeal.

1029
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: That's such such a Buck show Walter, we year, Yeah,

1030
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: And I remember I was watching ESPN broadcast I think

1031
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: a few years ago when Buck was still coaching for

1032
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: the Orioles, and I asked my dad. I was like,

1033
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 1: can you slide in the middle of a bass path

1034
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: to break up a double play? If a guy's fielding

1035
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: the ball, you're already gonna be out. You can give

1036
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: yourself up and you save the guy at first. And

1037
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: within seconds they're like, Buck Showalter actually has been telling

1038
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: his players to slide in the middle of the base

1039
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: if you can break it up, it doesn't matter. You're

1040
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: still breaking up the play, you're out, and you save

1041
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: the guy at first from being a double play. So

1042
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,439
Speaker 1: these are the little things that I'm sure the old

1043
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: heads that are definitely ride or die for Buyer just

1044
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,919
Speaker 1: absolutely gleaming about and you know what I'm gleaming about

1045
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: it too. That is a heads of play made a

1046
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: difference in this game, and the.

1047
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 3: Massive difference in this game.

1048
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 2: And you just saw how excited the Mets dug out

1049
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 2: got after this happened. There was a video the SNY

1050
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 2: post of Tomas Nito just throwing his head back and

1051
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 2: exalting laughter, bellowing laughter with the ski cap on just

1052
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 2: losing his mind to the fact that mess just stole

1053
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 2: a run and were able to keep a player scoring

1054
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 2: position afterwards, a win win play for the New York Meds.

1055
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 1: It's also like super disrespectful to just like a lot

1056
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: of time impacts like that. They're a cute.

1057
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 2: Idiots, you guys, a nice try baseball players wink.

1058
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1059
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: And then let's talk about the icing on the cake.

1060
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: Here Pete Alonso in the DH spot hitting his third

1061
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: home run of the year. All three home runs have

1062
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: come in the D spot.

1063
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 3: I'm interesting.

1064
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys are listening, but in

1065
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: the DH spot might be something we might want to

1066
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: look out. What's weird though, is Pete and the DH

1067
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: spot handcuffs this team even more than normal. Why do

1068
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: you say that, because now you can't really make the

1069
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: substitutions that you would like. If Dom's facing a lefty,

1070
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: the only other option really to face the lefty is JD. Davis.

1071
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't really think we feel great about JD. Davis

1072
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: playing first base right now.

1073
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 2: I don't feel that bad bad. I mean, it's not

1074
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,439
Speaker 2: the worst. Doesn't sound like the end of the world.

1075
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 2: It's not great.

1076
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: But as much how much first base as he played,

1077
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: I'd rather be first than third.

1078
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 3: Kind's fair, I mean.

1079
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: And like, you're not gonna put Robinson cano because it's

1080
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: just another lefty, Like it definitely takes a little bit

1081
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: of like that weird lefty writing versatility. But also if

1082
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: Pete's swinging like this, we probably won't have that many

1083
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: games where we need to make big decisions about whether

1084
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: or not Dom Smith or JD. Davis should be facing

1085
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: a writer or a lefty in that moment.

1086
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

1087
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 2: And this I won't even call attention to this specific

1088
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 2: home run for Pee Alonzo because this was a similar

1089
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 2: pitch that I chastised him just a few minutes ago

1090
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 2: for going after in Game two of this series, but

1091
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 2: which is a little bit lower, and that being a

1092
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: little bit lower puts it right in pete to wheelhouse.

1093
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 2: He just dropped down and caught the barrel in. This

1094
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 2: ball had a very slim seventeen degree launch angle relative

1095
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,760
Speaker 2: to most of Peat home runs, and just just scooed

1096
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 2: it out of the stadium over.

1097
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 3: The left field wall. It just got out in a

1098
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 3: freaking hurry.

1099
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 2: It just shows how good Pee Alonzo is with the bat,

1100
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 2: like the fact that he went down and golfed the

1101
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 2: ball nowhere near his wheelhouse, able to get barrel.

1102
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 3: And just got out of stadium in moments.

1103
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 2: This guy just unbelievable things to plate night and night out,

1104
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 2: and I'm really happy to watch it.

1105
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you see, he's such a good hitter. I

1106
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: love that Peter Alonso is part of this New York

1107
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: Mets team. He makes us so much better. He's just

1108
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: one of the perennial power hitters and all of baseball,

1109
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: and now he actually has the ability to drive in

1110
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: runs because we have dudes on base in front of him.

1111
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: I love the construction of how this team's looking right now.

1112
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 2: Quick shout out for the Mets stuff gambling boys. I

1113
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 2: believe we shouted out me specifically, the Plans will lead

1114
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 2: MLB and RBI's bet preseason, and as we sit here

1115
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 2: in Sunday, April seventeenth, Monday April eighteenth, when you guys

1116
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 2: are listening to this, Plans will lead the National League

1117
00:42:58,680 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 2: with fourteen.

1118
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 3: RBIs not a bad star for the kid.

1119
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: Also, you would remember the boys told you to bet

1120
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: the over on the Bass it wins. I think it

1121
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: was what ten or eleven, whatever it was, and half

1122
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: his first two stars, just saying the Boys might not bad.

1123
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: Great way to end the series. A nice series win.

1124
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: Should have been a sweep. But hey, the Mets are

1125
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: looking at what seven and three now seven and three,

1126
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: top of the National League East. We know it's extremely

1127
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: early and it really doesn't mean anything, but the way

1128
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: the Mets have been playing compared to the rest of

1129
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: this division, they're kind of separating themselves very early, as

1130
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: in a team that's just playing some cleaner baseball, a

1131
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: little more consistent baseball top to bottom than everyone else

1132
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: in this division. In ten games. Again, I know Mets

1133
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: I talked about we need a little humble pie. Yeah,

1134
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna get hyped.

1135
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna go.

1136
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 2: The Mets still have not played one team that's fundamentally

1137
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 2: sound yet, so I'm gonna wait for this series. I'm

1138
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 2: like the transition to previewing right now.

1139
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: Hold on a second. I just want to say, you

1140
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: told me to watch out for the Phillies, so don't

1141
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: throw them in the same grouping as the Diamondbacks and

1142
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: natchal I.

1143
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 2: Think throwing in the same grouping as I hold of

1144
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 2: baseball here just just just fucking around. But the Phillies

1145
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 2: are a very good team who have good starting pitching

1146
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,479
Speaker 2: and a load the lineup. They're just not fundamentally sound

1147
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 2: that those both of those can be true. Those are

1148
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 2: both true at the same time. I think it's obvious

1149
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 2: after watching them play for three games.

1150
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, they got smacked by the Marlins this series,

1151
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: which was.

1152
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 2: Just absolutely and Zach Wieler we couldn't hit, got annihilated

1153
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 2: by the Miami violate by.

1154
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: The mart They got absolutely destroyed. But hey, now we

1155
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: have a real test. And this is something that me

1156
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: and you both circleed very early on the season, especially

1157
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: with how the Mets were playing the Giants. This is

1158
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: a real aptitude tests here as to whether or not

1159
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: the Mets actually know what they're doing, because the Giants

1160
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: for sure know what they're doing. They are probably the

1161
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: number two smartest team in all of baseball, right behind

1162
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: the Rays. I think you could say.

1163
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 2: Almost call them they're they're they're in a tier between

1164
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 2: the Rays, Giants, Dodgers as the smartest teams in baseball

1165
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 2: right now, probably and maybe the Brewers maybe a half

1166
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 2: step behind or just with them. But that is the

1167
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 2: that's the pantheon of baseball intelligence. It's gonna be a

1168
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,479
Speaker 2: really great test to see how the Mets can stack

1169
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 2: up with a team that is a little bit injured

1170
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 2: right now, doesn't exactly have their a line upreay to go,

1171
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: but they play smart and efficient defense, and they're gonna

1172
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 2: throw some very interesting pitchers at.

1173
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 3: Us this week.

1174
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it gets started on Game one on Monday,

1175
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: where we got Tyler and McGill going up against Alex Cobb.

1176
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: Alex Cobba, guy who you have raved and who did

1177
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: all about all off season about someone that the Met

1178
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: should have been in on. I think they probably were.

1179
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: Just the Giants give him a little more money and

1180
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: he's really good. Like I know, the name might not

1181
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: instill fear into your body. But when the guys throwing

1182
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: ninety eight and has the pitches that he's had this

1183
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: this year, he's looking pretty disgusting. This is also a huge,

1184
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: huge test for Tyler and McGill, who he saw make

1185
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: two starts right against the Giants last year. One good,

1186
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: the second one not so good.

1187
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 2: I actually think was the opposite. It was the first

1188
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 2: one not so good, second one quite good.

1189
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: Okay, this is a huge test for him though, as

1190
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: we've seen him pitch so well early on this season.

1191
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: The Giants the way they do platoons and well batpath,

1192
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: swing pass, which you told me all about, like, this

1193
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: is gonna be huge to see how they react to

1194
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:49,919
Speaker 1: Tyler McGill.

1195
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 2: Just even to expand on what you just said for

1196
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 2: a second, Robert or Baseball perspectus right before the season

1197
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 2: started that dropped an article I read some research that

1198
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 2: he did that he found that while the Giants were

1199
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 2: platooning a lot last year based on handedness, like the

1200
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 2: most obvious platoon that the average baseball fan will see

1201
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 2: and be like, oh, that's smart, that makes sense, the

1202
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 2: Giants were actually fine tuning their lineups to create situations

1203
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 2: where their hitters bathpats were more advantageous against the other

1204
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 2: pitchers pitch shapes and approach angles, and more specifically, what

1205
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 2: this means is that, just to break it down, if

1206
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 2: they're facing more of a sinkerballer with a curveball and

1207
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 2: a change up, they're gonna look for more hitters with

1208
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 2: the type of uppercut low ball hitters that.

1209
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 3: You like to see in baseball.

1210
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 2: And when they were facing pitchers that kind of had

1211
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,760
Speaker 2: more velocity, writhing fastballs, pitches on top of the zone,

1212
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 2: they would seek out pictures with flattherbackpacks, especially pittures with sliders,

1213
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 2: because you get a flatter batpath as much as you

1214
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 2: hit that slider than the guy who's uppercutting it. So

1215
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 2: the Giants are doing things. They're basically playing a different

1216
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 2: sports and everybody else in the league right now. So

1217
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 2: it's going to be really fascinating to see how McGill

1218
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:50,760
Speaker 2: specifically lines up against this team.

1219
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: As long as the rain holds out, your boy will

1220
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: be there courtesy of Carlos Rodin, which is a weird

1221
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: sentence to say, but I will be rooting for the

1222
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: Mets while sitting in enemy territory, that is for sure.

1223
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 2: Then after this Tuesday Night in one of the better

1224
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 2: pitching matchups you're gonna see in all of baseball all

1225
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 2: of this year, Max Scherzer versus Logan Web, which I

1226
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 2: think I'm gonna be at that one just because I'm

1227
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 2: not gonna miss a chance to watch those two pitchers.

1228
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 2: That's the pitching guy over here.

1229
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be a pretty pretty sick game. Logan Web,

1230
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: a name that kind of flung onto the scene last

1231
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: year as one of the better pitchers in baseball, looking

1232
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: good again this year, going up against you know, the

1233
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: older guy who's still really good at pitching, still a

1234
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: cy young candidate. So its gonna be interesting to see

1235
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 1: how the Giants also react to Sures or as someone

1236
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 1: that saw him a little bit last year playing in

1237
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: the National League West, and Sures are not necessarily being

1238
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,879
Speaker 1: at his sharpest but still looking good.

1239
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 3: Yes. And then we move on to Wednesday.

1240
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 2: There's a four game series also, everyone be mind be aware,

1241
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 2: so we're gonna we're gonna get to the Giants very

1242
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 2: very well. And that brings us to Wednesday, where another

1243
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 2: incredible pitching matchup. We got Chris Bassett versus Carlos Rodon

1244
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 2: Mark's boy of course.

1245
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Carlos Rodan man, he's also looked so good this year,

1246
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: he's looked disgusting. So this is gonna be a game

1247
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: where a real pitchers duel I think might happen, where

1248
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: Bassetting and Rodin just kind of go back and forth

1249
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: until we find out who wins at the end, because

1250
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a pictures duel and both these teams

1251
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: are really good.

1252
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 3: And two pitchers.

1253
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 2: I was screaming for the Mets to get in this

1254
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 2: offseason after the lockdown and ended between Alex Cobb and

1255
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 2: Carls for not and then it'd.

1256
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 1: Be great to make you look stupid and smack them

1257
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: this series.

1258
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 2: It would be a great, great time for the James

1259
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 2: Jinks to come to fruition here and both those guys

1260
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 2: get annihilated. And then finally the getaway Day Thursday matinee,

1261
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 2: Carlos carrasco versus Anthony di Sclofani.

1262
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 1: Another good one, which yeh a good one kind of

1263
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: uh you know, the middle of the rotation for both

1264
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: of these teams here. Neither of these guys are gonna

1265
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:35,760
Speaker 1: make you go, WHOA gotta stop and watch this matchup,

1266
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: but both very professional pictures.

1267
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 2: Very professional pitchers and just to watch in this series

1268
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 2: those first two games there between mcguil, Cobb and Sure

1269
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 2: as their web, you're gonna see, You're gonna see some

1270
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 2: great stuff on this play alk. Cob has been sitting

1271
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 2: ninety miles an hour with his splitter this year, which

1272
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 2: is something that basically shouldn't be allowed, especially from a

1273
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 2: guy who doesn't really have the livest arm in Alex Cobb.

1274
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 2: To have the velocity and the lifeless pitches that the

1275
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 2: Giants have already got that him is shocking, and I

1276
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 2: do want to went out two other guys I want

1277
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 2: Mets fans to watch out for in the series. First,

1278
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 2: Tyro Estrada, which I didn't know.

1279
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone thought was going there.

1280
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: But I will say I'll have my one comment on Tyrostrada.

1281
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: The man's been shot and he kept the bullet in

1282
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: him for like six months.

1283
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, a ballplayer right there.

1284
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 2: But tyro Strada has gotten a shot to play early

1285
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 2: on the season with Timer Lastella going on the il

1286
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 2: when Achilles injury, Evan Longori has been out, Lamont Wade's

1287
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 2: been out, I feel like there's another Giants Millenfielder has

1288
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 2: been out but I'm missing it right now. But he's

1289
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 2: been playing mostly every day. He's driving in runs, he's

1290
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 2: hitting in the middle of the order, he's having very

1291
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 2: good at bats. He's already hit the hardest ball of

1292
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 2: his career. Tyro Strada is a very good baseball player

1293
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 2: who the Giants basically just got for free last year

1294
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 2: off the scrap heap, hung out in their forty man roster.

1295
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 2: Got a couple reps in August September as their injuries

1296
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 2: mounted up, but he probably will be paying the ask.

1297
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 2: Guy's great play discipline. Another guy I'm going to point

1298
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,359
Speaker 2: attention to a reliever that I talked about a lot

1299
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:52,760
Speaker 2: in the offseason, Mister Camillo Daval just probably, pound for pound,

1300
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 2: the best stuff in all of baseball. He can get

1301
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 2: it up to about a hundred and two miles an

1302
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 2: hour with wicked cutting action, and has a slide that's

1303
00:49:58,960 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 2: just absolutely to dive for.

1304
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 3: I want Mets fans to get.

1305
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 2: A close up look at Camille Devall and just be like,

1306
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:04,720
Speaker 2: what the fuck is going.

1307
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 3: On in San Francisco right now?

1308
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: And then to go on like the complete opposite. You

1309
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: have Tyler Rodgers, who throws funky submarine underhand at like

1310
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: seventy eight miles the hour and like bad.

1311
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 3: He made the Mets look last year.

1312
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: Does that to everybody? This stuff is just it's like

1313
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: he's throwing a whiffle ball out there, or a blitz ball,

1314
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: whatever it is. It's just it's really really hard to hit.

1315
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 1: They play really smart baseball. Also, we got to mention

1316
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: Wilmer Flora is coming backs to the City Field, which

1317
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: Wilmer Flores will always have a special place in our heart.

1318
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: I hope he goes over twenty five this series, or

1319
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: however many at bats he gets. I hope he doesn't

1320
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: get a single hit. But hey, Wilmer, of course, Mets fans,

1321
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: we love yo, we miss you. And I want to

1322
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 1: talk about Joey bart two young catcher. Yeah, he's taken

1323
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 1: over for Buster Posey. Of course, you guys know he's

1324
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: no longer there. It's having a really nice start to

1325
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: the season. He was a very very highly touted prospect

1326
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: and he's finally starting to swing the bat at the

1327
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,280
Speaker 1: major league level. Keep an eye out for him because

1328
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: he is a very very good ball.

1329
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, his massive power. Quick question about Flora is before

1330
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 2: we wrap up here. Do you think the Mets are

1331
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 2: gonna play his walk up song, the Friends theme?

1332
00:50:58,800 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 3: Oh?

1333
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: Man, I feel like I think you give them one. Yeah,

1334
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: I think you give them one and then go back

1335
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: to the players complete silence, like Wilmer deserves one clap,

1336
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: one ovation, one Friends theme, and then we hope we

1337
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: pound your brains.

1338
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Whimber will get that ovation every single year

1339
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 2: that he plays a game into the field for literally

1340
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 2: the rest of his life, until he's invited back for

1341
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 2: All Timer's Day.

1342
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 1: And I will be clapping on Monday when he gets well.

1343
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 2: I'll clap on Tuesday, even though no one else will

1344
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 2: be clapping.

1345
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to clap for Wilmer Flores.

1346
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 1: I'll clap at home. I don't care where it is.

1347
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 1: Flores is a Mets folk legend. He cried on the field.

1348
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: We'll never forget twice twice in a week. God, what

1349
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: a beast. This is gonna be, like we said, a

1350
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: very very telling series. We hope the Mets come out

1351
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: on top, and I really do think that they can.

1352
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: It's just you are playing one of the best teams

1353
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 1: in baseball, one of the smartest teams in baseball. Not

1354
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,760
Speaker 1: that You're gonna have to be perfect, but we can't

1355
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: be making little mistakes. You have to play clean cup

1356
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: baseball like we saw the first two games of the

1357
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 1: National Series, like we saw a couple times in Philadelphia.

1358
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: Clean baseball will win you the games. Mets have a

1359
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: good team. The Giants don't have the big names, but

1360
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: boy do they get a lot out of it guys

1361
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: that they do have.

1362
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 2: And the Mets are now going to be starting a

1363
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 2: run that started actually this weekend with thirteen games and

1364
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 2: thirteen days that did start at the home opener on Friday,

1365
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 2: So lank from the starting, pitching is going to be important.

1366
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 2: Relievers getting afishing and as are gonna be important. And

1367
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 2: the offense scoring enough runs to give our pitchings to

1368
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 2: have a break is gonna be very very important against

1369
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 2: a very good team, the San Francisco Giants.

1370
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,600
