Speaker 1: Sweep. I don't think we've gotten to do that in months.
Speaker 1: Have we swept this year?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we remember we swept the Marlins end of May.
Speaker 2: We thought things were turning around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was our double jinks. But hey, sweep of
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Guardians A sorry excuse for a playoff baseball team.
Speaker 1: But that's the twenty twenty six American League and definitely
Speaker 1: the American League Central. Great series by the Mets will
Speaker 1: go over all the games as we always do, as
Speaker 1: well as because this post trade deadline, got to take
Speaker 1: a look in on what's been going on with some
Speaker 1: of the guys that we moved as well as we
Speaker 1: got more news about Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto and
Speaker 1: Freddie Peralta and all this stuff. Because today that ends
Speaker 1: and why and reporters now that the deadline is over,
Speaker 1: need more clicks and the Mets are the easiest way
Speaker 1: to do it. Before we get going into it, make
Speaker 1: sure you guys are subscribed to Mets stuff over here
Speaker 1: on YouTube. If you're listening to US Apple podcasts, Spotify,
Speaker 1: Google drops a rat and drops review, download and subscribe
Speaker 1: some of you who are watching on YouTube. Seriously, just

Speaker 1: subscribe It helps us out automatically downloads to your phone,
Speaker 1: and Shout Out members get access to the videos early.
Speaker 1: How We Feeling James fun series to watch.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed the Mets playing baseball this week, and again
Speaker 2: we've kind of been able to take though. If you
Speaker 2: guys are still here, you're a sick of just like us,
Speaker 2: so being able to take the weight of expectations to
Speaker 2: burthen of such off our shoulders and just watch the
Speaker 2: Mets play quality baseball, Watch some good pitching from Christian
Speaker 2: Scott and Shaum and I watch the offense go crazy
Speaker 2: a few days.
Speaker 1: Watch the bullpen parade. That was a treat on Wednesday night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I see my boy jeffreyon make his debut
Speaker 1: Shout out jeffreyon Friend of the Podcast. He's absolutely electric
Speaker 1: and we'll talk a little bit more about him. But
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, at the absolute worst, the Mets
Speaker 1: are a little bit more fun right now. Obviously sweeping helps,
Speaker 1: but we even got some I think like quotes from
Speaker 1: Noel McLain after the game talking about everyone's a little
Speaker 1: more loose now. Guys are kind of remembering that it's
Speaker 1: about having fun, which is kind of a lame quote,
Speaker 1: but in a season where you're losing, you do sometimes
Speaker 1: have to remember that, like, go have some fun playing baseball.
Speaker 1: Winning and losing is the most important thing for their
Speaker 1: job and the security and the team. But these guys
Speaker 1: had played a lot of type baseball this year, and
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like that right now.
Speaker 2: No, And I think, honestly kind of want to start
Speaker 2: with Jeffrey on because it was one of the biggest
Speaker 2: let's go with me. It seemed like he kind of
Speaker 2: gave them a jolt, and like, I don't know if
Speaker 2: it was a good thing.
Speaker 1: Or a bad thing.
Speaker 2: Andy Green spoke lonely about him after the game. The
Speaker 2: anecdotes about him being a roofer and I think a mover,
Speaker 2: some other manual labor job, trying to find his spot
Speaker 2: in the league. And then it turns out he's a
Speaker 2: left He throws one hundred miles per hour, which I
Speaker 2: think is really conveniently forgot in the whole thing. And
Speaker 2: then the boy to just the firestorm they came out
Speaker 2: of the bout. It like both positive and negative.
Speaker 1: It was so funny to see all of these massive
Speaker 1: takes on both sides of the coin from a twenty
Speaker 1: nine year old reliever making his major league debut on
Speaker 1: a team in last place in August. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: the Jeffreyon story, especially like with the celebrating, it does
Speaker 1: give a little more or you get more context, and
Speaker 1: it makes it more understandable in that he was a
Speaker 1: prospect I think originally signed by the Angels. He had
Speaker 1: a bunch of arm issues. The Angels. After recovering, We're like,
Speaker 1: we're gonna send you back to the DSL for the
Speaker 1: fifth time. There was like some crazy amount of times
Speaker 1: that he was going to go back and he was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I quit if you're just gonna sit
Speaker 1: back to the Dominican like, I'm never gonna make it
Speaker 1: to the majors. It's time for me to start getting
Speaker 1: a real job. Was playing in like basically an independent
Speaker 1: league down there, just kind of having fun play and
Speaker 1: pick up baseball and he throws one oh one that's
Speaker 1: gonna catch someone's eye. He's been a lead dom the
Speaker 1: Dominican Summer, Dominican Winter League, I'm sorry, Superstar over the
Speaker 1: last couple of years. Absolutely electric the definition of an
Speaker 1: electric factory I've been waiting for him. The Mets signed
Speaker 1: him last year. I've got receipts about saying I can't
Speaker 1: wait for Jeffrey you On to make his debut. And
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you him coming out onto the mound
Speaker 1: that was one of the most locked in moments I've
Speaker 1: had as a Mets fan this year. I was watching
Speaker 1: on my couch at home. When he got the first strikeout.
Speaker 1: I jumped out of my chair and screamed. I almost
Speaker 1: got as high as him. Don't have the athleticism, but
Speaker 1: I was absolutely amped for this guy.
Speaker 2: No, it was a fun moment, it really was. And again,
Speaker 2: just the way that it incited this kind of just solictit,
Speaker 2: this reaction from everybody, one from Mealy when happened the
Speaker 2: first jump he struck out, the player on the Guardians
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden and why great count work
Speaker 2: best and why rare time we can critical of snys
Speaker 2: production this season, This was a perfect moment where they
Speaker 2: panned over to Reese Hoskins and Austin Hedges kind of
Speaker 2: poking fun of him, and then they catch those air
Speaker 2: mirrors and the dugout kind of leaping up and down too,
Speaker 2: where his air mirrors gets like what an inch and
Speaker 2: a half off the ground at this point. But it
Speaker 2: was just funny to see all that and then to
Speaker 2: get the strikeout to get himself out of the ending
Speaker 2: and the check swing.
Speaker 1: He was in the air before we knew if it
Speaker 1: was a swing or not. He was he was absolutely
Speaker 1: It's so funny to like, even on the ground balls
Speaker 1: that went up the middle, like I think Lindor made
Speaker 1: the out to get him out of the inning or whatever.
Speaker 1: On the ground ball up the middle and you see
Speaker 1: him mid air trying to reach and grab for the
Speaker 1: ground ball, I'm like, what's gonna happen if that ball
Speaker 1: does go in your glove? Like, how are you gonna
Speaker 1: You're gonna make a play?
Speaker 2: Can you remember any other moment like this where this
Speaker 2: many people now either in the Mets world, one thing,
Speaker 2: every single mess creator Mets person was tweeting about Jeffrey
Speaker 2: on that clip went stupidly viral, and if you tweeted that,
Speaker 2: you got a hundred thousand pressions, your gradually easiest tweet
Speaker 2: ever messed up.
Speaker 1: Shout out, Shout out the intern. We got tagged in
Speaker 1: an out kick article, which is if you guys, don't
Speaker 1: know out kick, we don't really want to be tagged
Speaker 1: in their stuff. But nevertheless, everybody just had a take
Speaker 1: on Jeffrey on It's almost worthy. It's even transcended media Marvel.
Speaker 1: It's just it had to lead the show with it.
Speaker 1: Can tell you the last time that something felt this
Speaker 1: insane with the Mets, it was when we had a
Speaker 1: Latin pop star playing middle infield for US a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Right, And again it does get lost that Yan as
Speaker 2: one hundred mile an hour sinker.
Speaker 1: He has a decent slide like.
Speaker 2: He's he looks like he can definitely be a worthwhile
Speaker 2: left handed reliever in the league. I do think that
Speaker 2: there's going to be many instances where his celebrations do
Speaker 2: rub people the wrong way. I feel like there's going
Speaker 2: to be a time when he does possibly get hit hard,
Speaker 2: where someone does something and maybe incites something else from
Speaker 2: someone on our side. I also feel like I'm kind
Speaker 2: of worried he might get hit or he like he
Speaker 2: rolls an ankle or something.
Speaker 1: I saw someone mention that. I think he's done it
Speaker 1: enough times. He seems to be honestly an unbelievable athlete.
Speaker 1: His efforts, he's got to be able to dunk with ease.
Speaker 1: He gets up and then for him to he lands
Speaker 1: so awfully and then he hits the slide to like
Speaker 1: the Michael Jackson slide. It's got a lot of the rhythm,
Speaker 1: a lot of enthusiasm. I'm not worried about him getting
Speaker 1: ever hit. I like to believe that Jeffreyon will always
Speaker 1: be dominant and never give up a run in his life.
Speaker 2: No, I'm kind of thinking this might be like the
Speaker 2: sigh up. We've been talking about how badly this Mets
Speaker 2: team has needed a fight or like some way to
Speaker 2: come together as a team for years. Now, this is
Speaker 2: the way you make another team start.
Speaker 1: The fight with you. I think, Oh yeah, No, it's
Speaker 1: someone I mean, probably similar to that of like Reee
Speaker 1: Hoskins and Austin Hedgers is gonna take an exception to
Speaker 1: it at some point and they will be I wish,
Speaker 1: I wish I would love Jeffrey On versus Schwarber and
Speaker 1: Harper in a lineup, go just to go Schwarber, Ariaz Harper.
Speaker 1: That's like, that's dream. That's all I can think about.
Speaker 1: One of the Mets play the Phillies.
Speaker 2: Next Thursday, September seventeenth through Sunday September twentieth, if he.
Speaker 1: Is still on the team by that time, which he
Speaker 1: should be. He throws one hundred and one. There is
Speaker 1: literally zero world where Jeffrion should not be on the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven Mets next season. He's a lefty that
Speaker 1: throws one on one with an absolute hammer of a curveball.
Speaker 1: He can't You can't let him go. They just don't.
Speaker 1: They just don't appear like this.
Speaker 2: I guess let's just first before we finish up on
Speaker 2: Jeffrey On. I also wi you actually think about the celebration,
Speaker 2: how do you feel?
Speaker 1: I fucking love it. I absolutely love it. I think
Speaker 1: this is one of the best things that's happened to
Speaker 1: the Mets this year, which is an insane sentence. It's
Speaker 1: been a bad year. But also at the same time,
Speaker 1: if we're gonna be cool with bat flips and all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and when you get a hit
Speaker 1: and on second base and you do this, which I like,
Speaker 1: I think the pitchers are allowed to clap back. And
Speaker 1: for Jeffrey On, I've seen him in the lead dom
Speaker 1: get smacked. He doesn't care. It doesn't affect anything with him.
Speaker 1: He's like, you gotta hit off me, do it. I
Speaker 1: think if you take exception to this, you're a loser. Truthfully,
Speaker 1: have some fun. Like I saw people on Twitter telling
Speaker 1: me they were like a complete clown show. I'm like,
Speaker 1: the Mets are sixteen games under five hundred, the dude
Speaker 1: is making his major league debut. Five years ago he
Speaker 1: was laying tar Like, I feel like he can kind
Speaker 1: of do whatever the fuck he wants and if you
Speaker 1: have a problem with it, turn off the TV. Definitely,
Speaker 1: I'm excited for the more takes we get out of this.
Speaker 1: Even like again, the article that our tweet was sadly
Speaker 1: used and says something about like the cockiest player in baseball.
Speaker 2: That's not what this is. I really again taking exception
Speaker 2: whoever he does whatever. If you feel that way, I apologize,
Speaker 2: But it just seems like he's feeling joy on the mound.
Speaker 2: It just seems like that's the way he is. I
Speaker 2: won't say he's not showing the other person up. He's
Speaker 2: definitely a little bit, but inadvertently it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, big bath Flip's always gonna show up
Speaker 1: the guy too, Like it doesn't matter it is. I
Speaker 1: don't think he's doing it to show you up. That's
Speaker 1: why I think that's the difference.
Speaker 2: Yes, definitely, and even just jumping around that bullpen parade
Speaker 2: on Wednesday now Surtin's masterclass from to Daniel nunia Is
Speaker 2: to Chase McDermott for two, to Daniel Duarte for the save,
Speaker 2: as Devin Williams arm fatigue.
Speaker 1: We felt like it was like a soft tank operation.
Speaker 1: There zero ear runs.
Speaker 2: The only reason that Daniel Nunias gave up the runs
Speaker 2: to give the Guardians the lead momentarily was Carson Benz
Speaker 2: just completely boothing a fly ball line drive.
Speaker 1: But that I mean Jared Young had the error early
Speaker 1: on too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was wasn't that scotton the mount?
Speaker 2: Then Bench just dropped the fly ball in right field?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Well was it? No pashe made the play. I thought
Speaker 1: Jared Young made the error at first base on a
Speaker 1: ground ball to start the ending. He made it right there.
Speaker 2: But I remember Bench just flubbing one. Pasche had dropped
Speaker 2: the one later and he caught the next one. He
Speaker 2: slapped his own glove.
Speaker 1: This is just wasn't wasn't on bench?
Speaker 2: She didn't get their It's fine, Oh really okay whatever there,
Speaker 2: but that was hilarious to watch, especially, I thought McDermott
Speaker 2: looked good. Keith was talking about his fastball. I think
Speaker 2: had good life. I like the color he was throwing strikes.
Speaker 2: He got the forty pitches, so it seems like he's
Speaker 2: going to be someone that could be stretched out from
Speaker 2: multiple innings. I'm I'm excited to watch who from this
Speaker 2: chaos bulp and actually proved themselves enough to go into
Speaker 2: next year with a confident role.
Speaker 1: Debnie Yell Danniello's back. He was throwing ninety eight and
Speaker 1: he didn't look fat. I was happy about that. Definitely
Speaker 1: less fat, still little fat, definitely less fat.
Speaker 2: And again he had to deal with some adversity and
Speaker 2: he still got out of that with three hits and
Speaker 2: two runs. Two strikers, so only took the twenty pitches
Speaker 2: like he was just round the zone. It was very
Speaker 2: nice to see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I feel like I remember Yon the
Speaker 1: hits that came up against him. I'm like, man, these
Speaker 1: are just find the hole. They're not even hit well.
Speaker 1: I felt like with Dannielle too. It wasn't like he
Speaker 1: was getting pieced up, so I was glad to see
Speaker 1: that he was back looking good. I really liked what
Speaker 1: we saw at Chase McDermott, and then Daniel Duarte just
Speaker 1: keeps getting the job done every single time he's called upon.
Speaker 1: Dwarte came in also for some big outs on Tuesday Night.
Speaker 1: He just he kind of just has stuff.
Speaker 2: He uses his span really well, like he's just very
Speaker 2: sweeper color reliant, but it works really like.
Speaker 1: He's just he's on the ball. I feel very comfortable
Speaker 1: him on the mound right now. I feel like, let
Speaker 1: me just double check before I say this, So I
Speaker 1: think the last time, like the way that the Mets
Speaker 1: found him was he was basically playing in Mexicxican League Duarte, which,
Speaker 1: like Duarte, was a guy who was out of baseball
Speaker 1: for a while in terms of like professional baseball, he
Speaker 1: was playing in Mexico or I should say affiliated baseball.
Speaker 1: Jeffery Jon was a guy who was out of affiliated
Speaker 1: baseball for a big chunk of time. Danielle Nuniaz has
Speaker 1: a crazy story of how he's become a major league
Speaker 1: baseball player. This was like a complete and utter how
Speaker 1: did we find these guys that are all pitching?

Speaker 2: I mean, do we can even get deeper looking into
Speaker 2: this bullpen in terms of where they've come from, like
Speaker 2: Kodasanga all the way back was into what the instructional
Speaker 2: league in Japan.
Speaker 1: And also he looked really goodn't relief, He did look
Speaker 1: really good relief.
Speaker 2: There was a moment on Tuesday netwhere I was like, ah,
Speaker 2: but then brought us back together on Thursday.
Speaker 1: He looks like this could be the perfect role for.
Speaker 2: Koda Sanga, which is really nice and made that contract
Speaker 2: always makes sense. Way back when I was like, why
Speaker 2: is the guy getting sold little money? Oh, this is
Speaker 2: why I think Chase mcderm with also my ppiece. I
Speaker 2: liked Nate Lavender messing around.
Speaker 6: Oh.
Speaker 1: I love that he's messing around. Look a crafty lefty
Speaker 1: to go off of Jeffrey on. I can't wait.
Speaker 2: So Andrew from our softball team, his dad who we've met,
Speaker 2: his big Mets nerd. He texted him during the game,
Speaker 2: is the guy have a new favorite color?
Speaker 1: Lavender? Nice great line right there. Now before I forget,
Speaker 1: Sam has been begging me to shout out his friend
Speaker 1: in the podcast forever. So Noah, if you're friends with Sam,
Speaker 1: this is for you. Shout out. Sam asked me every
Speaker 1: single game. I always forget.
Speaker 2: But now Captain as talking about right now brought the
Speaker 2: back of my head. This is this team right now?
Speaker 2: Was how was how quick that it's ollo? They still suck.
Speaker 1: Oh, they're still terrible, but they're not as bad as
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Guardians.
Speaker 2: No, it definitely not as bad as they would be
Speaker 2: winning the al Central, of course, but it's very fun
Speaker 2: to watch the chaos unfold in a day by day
Speaker 2: basis and watch them play, like you said.
Speaker 1: Much looser, Yeah, much looser. Much more fun with the idea.
Speaker 1: And again, the way that I'm watching every single game
Speaker 1: is I'm not particularly concerned about the wins and losses.
Speaker 1: I am seeing who is gonna possibly be here for
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven that can make an impact on the
Speaker 1: team next year. Because, regardless of what you think at
Speaker 1: home watching this or listening to this in your car,
Speaker 1: the Mets are not rebuilding. It will be trying to
Speaker 1: get pieces to make this team competitive and be a
Speaker 1: playoff team in twenty twenty seven. Whether that's the right
Speaker 1: plan or not, that's not what we're talking about here.
Speaker 1: That's what they're going to do. So yeah, I like
Speaker 1: when I see this weird, funky lefty that throws one
Speaker 1: hundred and one. But then we also have Nate Lavender
Speaker 1: who's throwing a bunch of junk at you, and they're
Speaker 1: both getting soft contact. I love seeing that. I love
Speaker 1: seeing Daniel Duarte get outs, Chase McDermott. I can't wait
Speaker 1: to see some of the other funky, crazy names that
Speaker 1: we see get called up at some point this year.
Speaker 1: Even like Jared Young's a ballplayer man, Jared Young is
Speaker 1: really a solid player, and I think had the Mets
Speaker 1: not had the departure of Pete Alonzo, I think that
Speaker 1: Jared Young would be a lot more of a fan favorite.
Speaker 1: I think their ops's are like separated by thirty points.
Speaker 1: Don't look right now.
Speaker 2: I think that even with the you know everything can
Speaker 2: happened with p Alonzo, I still think Mets fans have
Speaker 2: come around on Jared Young in an amazing way. I
Speaker 2: do think he left a bad taste in people's mouth
Speaker 2: last year, just because in this short stint he had
Speaker 2: he was very, very, just not productive with all. He
Speaker 2: plays hard every single day. He's become a favorite of
Speaker 2: Keith and Gary's too, Like they talk about him like
Speaker 2: this guy's a real baseball player. He's if you if
Speaker 2: you use Jared Young in the right situations, which is
Speaker 2: making sure he never takes the play the appearance against
Speaker 2: a left handed pitcher like he's going to be about
Speaker 2: twenty percent better than thelegue average. And if you have
Speaker 2: a proper platoon in place, which by all means I
Speaker 2: guess theoretically should be Mark Fiento's, but I don't know
Speaker 2: if that.
Speaker 1: Ever will be. Give me Wagaman instead. Wagga made a
Speaker 1: nice little play on Thursday too. But can we talk
Speaker 1: about viendos for a second, real quick? What about them?
Speaker 1: Do you think he's gonna get a shot when he
Speaker 1: comes back off the isle or do you think he
Speaker 1: goes right to dfad.
Speaker 2: No, he gets one more shot and more shot, and
Speaker 2: he might get not tendered if he doesn't play well
Speaker 2: for like the last like four weeks that he has.
Speaker 1: But cool, just that's what I wanted to ask. Young
Speaker 1: has put himself in position where he does feel like
Speaker 1: a guy who not only will be.
Speaker 2: Here next year, but should be here next year. Every
Speaker 2: single thing about him as a hitter, he takes professional
Speaker 2: at bad. He's a good athlete, hits the ball hard,
Speaker 2: hits the ball in the air like.
Speaker 1: He he's not I'm never gonna tell you who's a
Speaker 1: cat over there at first base. But he actually has
Speaker 1: good defensive metrics at first base this year. I think
Speaker 1: they're completely average. I thought he was like a three
Speaker 1: OAA guy.
Speaker 2: I think he's like a zero and also like basically
Speaker 2: negative one DRS.
Speaker 1: I don't care about drs. I'm an OA man. He's
Speaker 1: back to zero. He's back to zero.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just hangs around where he has to be. Again,
Speaker 2: he's not he's not a cap. He's not a butcher.
Speaker 2: That's totally fine from a first basement when you can
Speaker 2: actually hit and you're used properly inside of the right
Speaker 2: platoon like he's he's good. You want to hear a
Speaker 2: real evil, hateful stat that someone sent me on Twitter today, Please,
Speaker 2: I love that, So shout out Will.
Speaker 1: He's big an NBA t with there Will NBA. Hey,
Speaker 1: there is his name. It's a picture of more, picture
Speaker 1: of more than nets.
Speaker 2: Hat is is biable. He loves the Mets, loves the Pods.
Speaker 2: So Will, this is your shout out. Ben Rice ops.
Speaker 2: Since Aaron Judge went down seven sixty six, Jared Young
Speaker 2: ops on the season seven sixty six.
Speaker 1: Ooh, I really like that a lot.
Speaker 2: How hateful is that I did again, I didn't say.
Speaker 2: That's a shout out to Will for throwing that one
Speaker 2: in here. I would never say his stat like that
Speaker 2: on this show, but Will have you tweeted it? Because
Speaker 2: I will be throwing you a retweet after this episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he should tweet that one.
Speaker 2: But there or if we'll want something DM that'll be
Speaker 2: messed up, messed up, will take that one.
Speaker 1: Oh that's electric, that's so sick. We should probably start
Speaker 1: leaning into that on mets up Social of just like
Speaker 1: very much cherry picking stats.
Speaker 2: Cherry picking stats and making other fan bases anchors works
Speaker 2: well with this podcast.
Speaker 1: Like Marcus Simeon over his last one game, give his
Speaker 1: ops because he was incredible today, and then be like
Speaker 1: show hey Otani, oh for yeah right, Marcus Simeon.
Speaker 2: Marcus Simons actually has a chance to drag himself to
Speaker 2: a six fifty ops.
Speaker 1: I mean it took a one not getting out on Thursday.
Speaker 1: What did you got? Six thirty three's up to there? Yeah,
Speaker 1: three for four and he walked one time. He's getting there.
Speaker 2: If we took Bobaschett versus Marcus Simeon ops, and then
Speaker 2: the spread is forty and a half right now, it's
Speaker 2: thirty eight and a half right now is thirty eight
Speaker 2: difference for the and a half rest of season. Where
Speaker 2: do you take that difference.
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna take Bobaschett. I'm gonna take the over
Speaker 1: just simply because he's just gonna get more hits. That's
Speaker 1: just how it's gonna be. Like Marcus Simin having a
Speaker 1: two to fourteen probably can't get up to two thirty
Speaker 1: and Boba Chet probably doesn't get below two fifty again.
Speaker 1: And Bobachhet, if he doesn't have to really run, he
Speaker 1: will get those extra base hits. But he's gonna give
Speaker 1: you more. Last few days that that tenth inning was
Speaker 1: that I couldn't believe that he's gotta be one of
Speaker 1: the worst athletes on the baseball field at any given moment.
Speaker 1: So here's another one. Right now, Marcus Simion has a
Speaker 1: six thirty three ops, Louis Rentz six fifty nine. That's
Speaker 1: twenty six point difference, twenty one and a half. Who
Speaker 1: do you take. I'm gonna take Simeon because Louis Trenz
Speaker 1: does not get to play in Cleveland the rest of
Speaker 1: the year. And I'll tell you what Louis Trenz really
Speaker 1: has a swing made for Yankee sym if only they
Speaker 1: only they had him once or maybe made an attempt
Speaker 1: to trade for him again. I'm sure they did call.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised they didn't take it.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess to them they were like, Austin
Speaker 2: will still plays good defense, Ali Sanchez, he's not trying
Speaker 2: to throw the ball into the outfield. Still plays good defense.
Speaker 2: Like that's probably all that one is. We've we've gotten
Speaker 2: you guys here fifteen minutes. Do you want to talk
Speaker 2: about want Son, Francisco Indor now, yes, just quickly. An
Speaker 2: article from Horey Castillo for ESPN said that there was
Speaker 2: a meeting early this season.
Speaker 1: He said, no, he said in June. In June, that's
Speaker 1: what I thought. I read, Oh, come back, come back,
Speaker 1: come back. I'm gonna I'm gonna take a look. You
Speaker 1: keep saying, though you keep saying.
Speaker 2: But there was a meaning that was orchestrated by Freddie
Speaker 2: Peralta to clear the air between Juan and so then
Speaker 2: Francisco Lindor allegedly it helped.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we also have like some interesting things. It
Speaker 1: was in June, by the way, it says je which
Speaker 1: seems like really late. That seems crazy red right past that.
Speaker 1: So Lindor acknowledged that the meeting took place, but downplayed
Speaker 1: its magnificance. It's more of a conversation like we always
Speaker 1: have with our group of Latinos, Lindor said in Spanish,
Speaker 1: but I don't want to comment on the details. Sodo
Speaker 1: denied a meeting happened, before confirming that the relationship between
Speaker 1: him and Lindora has improved this season. Sodo said in Spanish,
Speaker 1: there was no meeting, no discussion. This year has been better.
Speaker 1: We've gotten along very well. We learned from each other.
Speaker 1: I mean, I hate that this stuff keeps coming out.
Speaker 2: I don't know why these details continue to come out.
Speaker 2: It's odd that this came out even after praul To
Speaker 2: left the team. I do wonder now when we kind
Speaker 2: of what's it called suspected this a month and a
Speaker 2: half ago when Mendoza left, not the insinuating this could
Speaker 2: have been Mendoza, but just now that a clubhouse that
Speaker 2: clearly are a team that was really really big disappointment
Speaker 2: in the first half of the season has been jettisoned
Speaker 2: in every single direction.
Speaker 1: We probably still will get lots of crumbs like this
Speaker 1: as we continue forward. Oh, I think so, and like
Speaker 1: even Cohen's comments, which I'll talk about here in a second. Two.
Speaker 1: There were some names that were unnamed in this article
Speaker 1: because it did happen apparently in June for the two
Speaker 1: stars to vent and work through their disconnect Sources tell
Speaker 1: ESPN about the meeting. It was as men, not as
Speaker 1: baseball players, an unnamed source said, and then Steve Cohen,
Speaker 1: talking about it, said, I don't see them going anywhere,
Speaker 1: which was on that was on the show. Yeah, well, no,
Speaker 1: this is this is different. This is not on the show. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is in the article. Steve Cohen said, I don't
Speaker 1: see them going anywhere. And frankly, I think that's a
Speaker 1: story that was last year's story and that I'm actually
Speaker 1: told and believed strongly.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, that was that was from John Haymen. It
Speaker 2: saysn't the passer said for that, Yeah, it was an
Speaker 2: issue that has improved. In a podcast interview with The
Speaker 2: New York Post, so oh on July.
Speaker 1: First, I didn't read that part, but it is interesting
Speaker 1: if that meeting did happen in June, and then maybe
Speaker 1: that's why it was more friend of mine for Cohen
Speaker 1: on July first, we were like, why did you say
Speaker 1: this would make more sense? Because he was just probably
Speaker 1: instructed that it happened.
Speaker 2: I again shout out Freddy Peralta. I won't want to
Speaker 2: say a bad thing about him. A lot of Mets
Speaker 2: fans are gonna hate him forever. He pitched like shit
Speaker 2: when he was on this team, but he seemed like
Speaker 2: a good guy. And the guy's a decent trade package back.
Speaker 2: So again also louse. He got Rockin's for a start
Speaker 2: with the Raised in course Field, so no big deal
Speaker 2: in courts Field. But I thought it was interesting that
Speaker 2: this are came out. I want to know the exact
Speaker 2: time this came out. It was came out at seven
Speaker 2: fifty am on August fifth. Yes, this that all morning
Speaker 2: on Wednesday night. Francisco Lindor looked a shelle of himself
Speaker 2: on the baseball not look good. And I don't know
Speaker 2: if it's weird homecoming with Cleveland, but he's played in
Speaker 2: Cleveland before. I never played particularly well there, but it's
Speaker 2: never really been something that I've noticed specifically. But he
Speaker 2: just had some of the worst at bats I've ever
Speaker 2: seen Francisco Lindor have as a met in that game,
Speaker 2: and then he wakes up on Wednesday on Thursday and
Speaker 2: just lights the world on fire again. But that was
Speaker 2: being Francisco Lindoor. I didn't know correlation not equal causation.
Speaker 2: I have no way of ever knowing telling whatever those
Speaker 2: two things were lated, But my eyes told me something
Speaker 2: was happening there.
Speaker 1: It feels like this team is still desperately looking for
Speaker 1: a leader. And I don't think that leadenity is Francisco Lindoor.
Speaker 1: I don't think that leader is wam Soto. I think
Speaker 1: that's okay. I think not every person is a leader.
Speaker 1: I think a bigger issue seems to be that also
Speaker 1: the manager was not a leader while he was here,
Speaker 1: and I think that's become extremely extremely evident, not all
Speaker 1: and how that's have played significantly better since he's left,
Speaker 1: as well as the fact that it seems like these
Speaker 1: guys are a lot more loose and relaxed since Carlos
Speaker 1: Mendoza left, not because Carlos played signif Philly better since
Speaker 1: he left. Yeah, they've played better. They just put out
Speaker 1: They just swept the Guardians who were in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: So that was after the CUB series, right that Mendoza
Speaker 2: got fired. Yeah, it was that Friday morning, June twenty sixth,
Speaker 2: before the weekend series with the Phillies.
Speaker 1: That sounds good to me. Sounds good, right, did Steve
Speaker 1: Cohen talked to Hayman in them right after Mendoza got fired.
Speaker 1: I really thought it was that Cubs thing, because that
Speaker 1: Cub's four game sweep after like the embarrassment in Philly
Speaker 1: that Saturday. It's a really easy way to find out
Speaker 1: June sixth. It was June twenty sixth. Yeah, there were
Speaker 1: thirty four and forty seven when he got fired, but
Speaker 1: that's can't confirmed when he got fired. That's confirmed when
Speaker 1: he got fired. Mets fired their manager on June twenty
Speaker 1: six following a thirty four and forty seven starts of
Speaker 1: the season, and right now sixteen nineteen. Since that's way
Speaker 1: better base back. It's not good. I'm not saying it's
Speaker 1: good baseball, but then from atrocious such as regular bad,
Speaker 1: which to be fair, like those teams play that kind
Speaker 1: of baseball for the entire year and you have a
Speaker 1: couple of hot streaks that's why you make the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that is it. Other things from this
Speaker 2: series we're good. We're good at the f Lindorso converce.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, now I'm done with it now.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Perfect.
Speaker 2: Other things from the series, I guess just talk about
Speaker 2: the pitchers, trum and I was throwing ninety five miles
Speaker 2: an hour on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Don't look at his whip from the game. He somehow
Speaker 1: allowed twelve base runners, five walks, seven hits, and six
Speaker 1: innings and still got the win.
Speaker 2: Let's go Mets got big time swing and miss. He
Speaker 2: hit those that ninety five in the first or second inning.
Speaker 2: I was just like working on the side while looking
Speaker 2: at watching the game. I could feel the one whoa.
Speaker 1: Do you think he went, Holy shit? What happened? Probably?
Speaker 1: Damn nice? I'm back. Did you hear? Maybe maybe the
Speaker 1: balls were reduced? Because Carlos by Erga apparently is the
Speaker 1: Guardians Spanish broadcast. On the Spanish broadcast, it was claiming
Speaker 1: that he felt like the Mets had quirked bats this series.
Speaker 1: That's a wild accusations.
Speaker 3: Mate.
Speaker 1: Maybe he watched Louis transnack that home. Well, I think
Speaker 1: that's why.
Speaker 2: I mean Carson bench Put won four fifty to straight
Speaker 2: Away Center in Cleveland, which never ever good. Ever happens
Speaker 2: Bench is done, Heather should we should go there for
Speaker 2: a little bit. I do want to have again. I
Speaker 2: want you guys to help us out because we're gonna
Speaker 2: have to come out coming out. A lot more podcasts
Speaker 2: rest this season, and I don't think a lot of
Speaker 2: people just want to hear about these games over and
Speaker 2: over again. So we're gonna do a mailbag probably next
Speaker 2: week at some point soon. I want someone out there
Speaker 2: to ask the question about who has the higher ceiling, Carson,
Speaker 2: Bench or aj Ewings. I think it's a fascinating discussion.
Speaker 1: Hmm. Interesting. I don't don't give an opinion. I right now,
Speaker 1: I won't give an opinion. I'll get that one in
Speaker 1: the back of my head Bill Suspense save that for
Speaker 1: the people. But Bench has been just ripping hot.
Speaker 2: We're seeing the power come in a bigger way, I
Speaker 2: think than we've seen it any other time during his
Speaker 2: rookie season.
Speaker 1: It's honestly amazing that he was three for thirty two,
Speaker 1: three for thirty one to start his career. It's fascinating.
Speaker 1: He nearly has a two seventy average right now.
Speaker 2: He's he's definitely gonna have not definitely, but he's he's
Speaker 2: pacing to still put up a three win season as
Speaker 2: a rookie when he still kind of looks a little
Speaker 2: bit funky in the outfield at times. Made another great
Speaker 2: throw in this series, like he is just a phenomenal
Speaker 2: baseball player and someone that should hit in the middle
Speaker 2: of this lineup and play right field every single day
Speaker 2: for a very, very very long time.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: That home run that he hit to that to left center,
Speaker 1: like this four fifty. I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: can can he hit thirty home runs a year? Because like,
Speaker 1: that's not a ball that any but Righty's lefties put
Speaker 1: the ball out there. That doesn't happen in Cleveland. Can
Speaker 1: you go twenty twenty as a rookie? I think he can.
Speaker 1: I really do. I could see six more homers, six
Speaker 1: or six more now, so I can. I think it's
Speaker 1: totally within the realm of possibility. I guess just the
Speaker 1: stolen bases, baby d he's three. It's easy. It got
Speaker 1: that next week, Yeah, I know. But the Mets, I
Speaker 1: feel like they haven't been running much. Kai Correa, who
Speaker 1: was a coach with Cleveland for a while.
Speaker 2: He apparently he went up to Andy Green specifically, it
Speaker 2: was like players don't hit home runs there. That's not
Speaker 2: I've never really seen that one before.
Speaker 1: Now, I also will say this, Cleveland during the time
Speaker 1: that Kaikre was there, had like a good hitter. So yeah,
Speaker 1: Jose Ramirez.
Speaker 4: This is that time of year. AJ. It is Baseball's
Speaker 4: time to shine, and it is Sea geeks time to
Speaker 4: shine with MLB tickets and find the best pricing, seating
Speaker 4: and games that are even sold out available on sea Geek.
Speaker 7: Absolutely if you want to go to the biggest matchups

Speaker 7: really heat up. Go to se can find those green

Speaker 5: app and have the code automatically added to your account
Speaker 5: so you can use it later.
Speaker 2: Especially shout out to a specific Guardian this series, because again,
Speaker 2: this team played bad, un inspired baseball on hell Now
Speaker 2: had one of the most fun debuts.
Speaker 1: I think I've ever seen. It was just crazy. He
Speaker 1: made like what two errors, but also had four hits
Speaker 1: in his first four at BET's first ever four.
Speaker 2: Hit debut for the Cleveland franchise history. He played third
Speaker 2: base position. He's played a little bit in the minor leagues,
Speaker 2: but seems like he's just gonna spell Jose Ramirez, whose
Speaker 2: hands is still a little irritated from the handmade surgery,
Speaker 2: hits from both sides of the plate, has to go
Speaker 2: ahead hit, slapped it down the line.
Speaker 1: He looks like a fun little ball player.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: For a team that has very very few capable Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball players, he seems like he's at least going
Speaker 1: to be one of them. Two seconds, let me shit
Speaker 1: on the guardians there. It's a real shame that there's
Speaker 1: this whole talk about lockout and the Dodgers ruining baseball,
Speaker 1: this or that whatever it's gonna be and then you
Speaker 1: have teams like the Cleveland Guardians who choose to be
Speaker 1: cocks of Major League Baseball and let everybody else around
Speaker 1: them get good baseball players while they continue to run
Speaker 1: out absolute trash at almost every single position every single game,
Speaker 1: and they'll make the playoffs because the American League Central
Speaker 1: is a joke. I think this is the strongest I've
Speaker 1: ever felt for realignment of the divisions. Yeah, you can relign,
Speaker 1: you're gonna do I don't know, add two teams, give
Speaker 1: me expansion, then realign. Did the Athenians do that where
Speaker 1: they had they split up Athens into like, gotta know,
Speaker 1: I don't know this, You're you're Greek. Just because I'm
Speaker 1: Greek doesn't mean to know ancient Greek the rules of
Speaker 1: ancient Greece.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure they split up their their go government
Speaker 2: into three sections. There was different alignments where there was
Speaker 2: ten city or urban, then there were ten like the
Speaker 2: theoretical ancient suburban, and at ten either rural or coastal
Speaker 2: or island, and every single district you had one of each.
Speaker 2: So you guys all had to agree even though you
Speaker 2: had different wants, likes, and interest. And then you have
Speaker 2: to bring those to I don't know if they called
Speaker 2: There's Parliament or whatever it was, but you couldn't tell you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's just it's it's perverse watching this
Speaker 1: Guardian's team play, because like Patrick Bailey might be the
Speaker 1: worst hitter in Major League Baseball and he had a
Speaker 1: couple of hits in his OPS is still five point
Speaker 1: fifty four, which is his OPS is closer to mine
Speaker 1: than it is, I think to wam sodos, which is
Speaker 1: insane to say out loud. I think it's a little
Speaker 1: close to one so's and this t horse. But the point,
Speaker 1: the point still stands there, and is you want to
Speaker 1: know anything about the shortcomings of the American League Central.
Speaker 1: The twenty twenty six New York Mets are ten to
Speaker 1: two against the American League Central, depending two MT's have
Speaker 1: a fifth of their wins against the American League Central.
Speaker 1: Mess lost one game to.
Speaker 2: The Twins in late April early May. The Knicks were
Speaker 2: playing the Hawks when that series was going on, and
Speaker 2: they lost one game to the Royals, and they.
Speaker 1: Swept the Tigers and they swept the Guards. It was
Speaker 1: that the game Tyler Tolbert like had like seven more
Speaker 1: hits to continue twelve in a row or whatever it was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, like, it's just the Guardians suck. They're so bad.
Speaker 1: If this team makes if this team makes the playoffs
Speaker 1: and does anything like this is why the Yankees get
Speaker 1: to go to the Alcs every single year. They get
Speaker 1: to play the fucking Guardians or the Twins, teams that
Speaker 1: actively have no interest in winning. Do you remember the
Speaker 1: last time the Yankees won a five or seven game
Speaker 1: playoff series against the team that was not in the
Speaker 1: American Central It was Bucks Show Walters Orioles or Bucks
Speaker 1: Show Walters Orioles. I think I think I was like
Speaker 1: in someone from our high school's basement watching that game.
Speaker 1: I think I think it was like a first year
Speaker 1: of college maybe. Actually I think it was twenty third.
Speaker 1: You're right, that's what I'm saying. I think I was
Speaker 1: in someone's basement watching that game. Jesus, oh my god.
Speaker 2: But again this it's also funny that the Mets rocked
Speaker 2: Foster Griffin on Thursday. Freddy Praulton got smacked around his
Speaker 2: Ray's debut, Casey Might's got beat up his Doddrey's debut.
Speaker 2: Like all of these deadline pitchers. They took these flights,
Speaker 2: uncomfortable in the hotel room. It's not really getting theirself
Speaker 2: together yet. Odd odd. Seriously, the Mets, it really just
Speaker 2: was top to bottom Traine, I want to talk about
Speaker 2: Christians got quick.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it looks great.
Speaker 2: Fastball was ridiculous. He ran into trouble, the command got
Speaker 2: a little walky on him. I thought he just also
Speaker 2: kind of got some bad, bad ball luck in that
Speaker 2: fourth and fifth. I think I thought he's battled especially
Speaker 2: well in the fourth to leave an inning with one run.
Speaker 2: When he went, it was like what walk double single
Speaker 2: to start the inning. Yeah, really grit the teeth and
Speaker 2: got through it. He just you watch him pitching like
Speaker 2: it feels so close to like an unbelievable level of click.
Speaker 1: I absolutely loved what the Mets did in the fourth
Speaker 1: inning with Christian Scott. Was the fourth or the fifth,
Speaker 1: whichever one it was where there was all the lefties
Speaker 1: coming up and they had yan ready to go to
Speaker 1: come in and they were like, you gotta get through it.
Speaker 1: Like fifth, young fella. In the fifth they're like, you
Speaker 1: gotta get through it. Man up, be that guy. This
Speaker 1: these are your last pictures of the day, So we
Speaker 1: don't care what it takes. You have to get through
Speaker 1: it in a season that's going to be lost in
Speaker 1: terms of team success. That is a way where you
Speaker 1: can develop Christian Scott and make him into such a dog.
Speaker 1: You can get through this. It's gonna be easy sailing
Speaker 1: for you, a big fella.
Speaker 2: He did that too in the fourth where the lefties
Speaker 2: were getting around on him really well. Just it was
Speaker 2: not the best night for the cover and after that
Speaker 2: saw the fastball a time or two, they were getting
Speaker 2: around on it. Betther, he broke off and again this
Speaker 2: is not the world be either, but he broke off
Speaker 2: such a ridiculous backdoor sweeper the PD halp and it
Speaker 2: was closed like perfect spot of that. He just he
Speaker 2: knows how to walk the tight rope and he knows
Speaker 2: how to let the stuff play. It's just it's going
Speaker 2: to be a teeny tweak here and there. This is
Speaker 2: someone that should again be in this rotation for a
Speaker 2: long time. Someone'm happy to see do it.
Speaker 1: Can we talk about Rookie of the year. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: talk about rookie of the year. I mean, there's a
Speaker 1: pretty good chance that the Mets have the top three.
Speaker 2: I think three of the top four or four. Three
Speaker 2: of the top five, but I don't know about the
Speaker 2: top three. I mean, why JJ Weatherhole has stunk it up?
Speaker 1: Now he has.
Speaker 2: But I do think that we have a lot of
Speaker 2: war bros out there, and we have a lot of
Speaker 2: the you know, the Cardinals have the vibe and the
Speaker 2: Cardinals the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Rookie this and that. And he's going to have a
Speaker 1: five win season on the books over rating second based defense.
Speaker 2: Probably, But at the same time, he's going to have
Speaker 2: a five win season on the books, it's gonna come
Speaker 2: with something like nineteen home runs, sixteen stolen bases. What
Speaker 2: if that ops has a six there's no way, Well
Speaker 2: he can't. It's seven year, seven thirty nine, you could drop.
Speaker 2: It's possible. That would have to really dropped a lot
Speaker 2: already it has.
Speaker 1: I think it would.
Speaker 2: He would need to have like a one oh two
Speaker 2: WYC plus for because we're gonna have to work with
Speaker 2: the same kind of analytical voters here where it's going
Speaker 2: to be like a five win season but the league
Speaker 2: average bat yes, and that those two things are gonna
Speaker 2: clash with each other, and that's what the decision is
Speaker 2: going to me.
Speaker 1: With Nolan McLain, we had higher batting average.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right right, But that's what I'm saying, Like, I
Speaker 2: don't know if the old school voters are going to
Speaker 2: roll with this profile.
Speaker 1: They really don't. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see
Speaker 1: because McClain is pitching like the best rookie in the
Speaker 1: National League, at least right now, because the American League
Speaker 1: have Parker Messick, who they got us to see him.
Speaker 1: And then Christian Scott's also still rookie eligible I think
Speaker 1: right now, so he technically is also I believe, so,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I believe Christian Scott is low key
Speaker 1: rookie eligible. I could be wrong, but I feel like
Speaker 1: I have that somewhere in my brain. So what could
Speaker 1: happen though, is that South Stewart will just hit their
Speaker 1: of the home runs and that would be the annoying thing.
Speaker 1: That could be the one that happens right there. But
Speaker 1: then again, Carson benj goes twenty twenty to seventy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this could be a very split. Could be big plurality
Speaker 1: in the Rookie the Year ballot this season. What happens
Speaker 1: if we get co Rookies of the Year. How does
Speaker 1: that work for PPI? It's such a good question don't
Speaker 1: know that'd be sick. Let's get a three way tie
Speaker 1: to me, Scott rookie eligible? Did you make that up? No?
Speaker 1: I think he is.
Speaker 2: I don't see Zaxy sack thorn On here. I don't
Speaker 2: see Christian Scott.
Speaker 1: I thought he didn't throw enough innings that first year,
Speaker 1: but maybe he had enough service time because he got
Speaker 1: injured the major league team. Because he only threw forty
Speaker 1: seven I don't see him as rookie eligible. Uh, fifty
Speaker 1: innings pitched about forty five total days as an active
Speaker 1: Major leaguer that could have been.
Speaker 2: That was so he might have been under the innings pitch.
Speaker 2: So okay, definitely is because he's not he's not rookie,
Speaker 2: all right?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 2: Hand up shange Rowan also could be in. I don't
Speaker 2: know how it works for guy like Foster Griffin who
Speaker 2: got traded leagues. Oftentimes Rookie of the Year candidates don't
Speaker 2: get traded.
Speaker 1: He's done, he's out.
Speaker 2: Oftentimes they're also not twenty nine years old and they
Speaker 2: come from the MPB.
Speaker 1: Or is he thirties? He thirty?
Speaker 3: Had?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: The PPI has to do with calls up there longs anyway, right,
Speaker 2: So yes, so it's a it'll be a fun race.
Speaker 2: But I do think that Nolan McLain again with the
Speaker 2: bad Star's command, was not very good. He's doing weird
Speaker 2: stuff between the fastball and the sinker right now. But
Speaker 2: just get himself to the three five VRA and like
Speaker 2: two hundred total strikeers will be very hard not to
Speaker 2: win that award.
Speaker 1: I think he's got it. I think he's got a
Speaker 1: pretty good shot. Now it's time to preview the next series.
Speaker 1: Also want shot out Placo. That was three hundred eight
Speaker 1: three hundred, three hundred swings. Now I've been getting uh
Speaker 1: Polanco tiktoks where he just rips call of duty like
Speaker 1: all night. He's a huge call of duty guy. He plays.
Speaker 1: It's him, Nico Goodrum and some random dude that sounds
Speaker 1: like like who like makes TikTok c lips It's it's electric.
Speaker 1: Horri Polanco's talking about like he needs to play well.
Speaker 1: His wife's watching him. If he doesn't play well, he's
Speaker 1: not getting late tonight. I thought that was hilarious. He's
Speaker 1: talking about baseball or call of duty, call of duty.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, if it's baseball, he's probably backed up.
Speaker 1: I no no, he said, I don't know. He was like,
Speaker 1: he was like, oh, my wife's watching me. Like if
Speaker 1: I don't play, well, I'm not getting late. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is crazy. This is on the internet, all right,
Speaker 1: Pirates series previou. Oh, we're playing my Pirates. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have to do it to him. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm excited to keep playing spoiler for these landlocked teams,
Speaker 2: because why not at this point and we have this
Speaker 2: is a pitching series right for these matchups.
Speaker 1: I can't wait.
Speaker 2: Friday and Saturday, guys again, six forty star time. Make
Speaker 2: sure you set your clock. Don'tait till seven to ten.
Speaker 2: You'll miss the first inning Friday night. This one hits
Speaker 2: close home to you. Zach Thorin against Carmen Lozinski, Majinski, Majinsky, Yeah,
Speaker 2: just get just get rid of the spelling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Maginsky. Saturday. Bit of an ace off here. This
Speaker 1: is like, this is laboratory baseball, Robert Stock versus Bubba Chandler.
Speaker 1: That is what I want those two guys to trade
Speaker 1: jerseys after the games.
Speaker 2: I'm excited to watch. That's my favorite league right now.
Speaker 2: Sunday Mattinee one thirty five. This is this is I
Speaker 2: don't know what to call this one. Sean and I
Speaker 2: versus Jared Jones, oh Man, very different guys.
Speaker 1: They couldn't be more different, honestly, Shaman, I could like
Speaker 1: put this put his elbow in Jerry Jones's head, and
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones will throw fastball at seven miles an hour harder.
Speaker 1: That's so fun. New and improved Pittsburgh Pirates were with
Speaker 1: their completely revamped bullpen. You see Luke Weaver talking about
Speaker 1: like getting trades tough, like he's like, he's I'm kind
Speaker 1: of sad.
Speaker 2: He's also he's looking New York for a while now, Yeah,
Speaker 2: a couple of years. Yeah, And he signed I think
Speaker 2: specifically to make sure you can stay in New York. Smellulator,
Speaker 2: But I mean this Pirate's bullpen. I give him a
Speaker 2: lot of credit for getting just to count it out loud.
Speaker 1: One to three.
Speaker 2: Four new relievers currently in the major league bullpen, and
Speaker 2: they've also stashed Brandon Isisert right now in Triple A.
Speaker 2: So five new pitchers that could be pitching in relief
Speaker 2: for the team the rest of the year. All acquired
Speaker 2: the trade deadline.
Speaker 1: Which I mean they needed it. Their bullpen is obnoxiously bad.
Speaker 1: This is monoxiously bad.
Speaker 2: This Pirates team also has not played great lately. No
Speaker 2: team is really trying to distinguish themselves as if they're
Speaker 2: a wildcard spot in either league.
Speaker 1: I think I would say, no, it's becoming like who's
Speaker 1: gonna be the best of the worst at this point. Yeah.
Speaker 2: My prediction on the windup was bull predict for the
Speaker 2: trade deadline to the seller would reach the playoffs in
Speaker 2: one of the leagues?
Speaker 1: Do we have? Is there a seller right now? It's
Speaker 1: getting close? I mean, I watch out for the Tigers,
Speaker 1: just watch out for the Tigers, watch out for the
Speaker 1: Reds are like only like a couple games behind the
Speaker 1: Pirates right now too, which is kind of funny. But
Speaker 1: here's the thing that the Nationals again too. Yeah, Pirates
Speaker 1: did a big juju good juju thing. Marcelo Zuna smelluo later,
Speaker 1: he's gone. I'm very happy for that one.
Speaker 2: But the the Pirates now over the last few weeks
Speaker 2: have lost the series to the Cubs, lost series. The
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks lost three out of four to the Reds and
Speaker 2: just lost three out of four to the Brewers. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, it just seems like they are very much
Speaker 2: in that middle tier, and those kind of results against
Speaker 2: the teams that feel like a slight tier above them
Speaker 2: just kind of cements that even more. Also, losing Ryan
Speaker 2: O'Hearn definitely hurt this lineup. I know, Zmrilin Valdez and
Speaker 2: even Andy Rodriguez, who's now been healthy, have been filling
Speaker 2: in really well.
Speaker 1: Andy's that's my guy. Dude that Andy for a minute.
Speaker 2: Anddhday's been hitting so well. He had last week he
Speaker 2: had two home runs and four stalln bases.
Speaker 1: Dude's a beast. He's very very good.
Speaker 2: The Pirates also right now, I don't know how to
Speaker 2: explain it. I don't even know how to talk about it.
Speaker 2: Paul Skeens has sucked.
Speaker 1: He's been better, although didn't he like get throw one
Speaker 1: hundred foot the first time in like a year and
Speaker 1: a half, like in his last start.
Speaker 2: Well, so he pitched on Wednesday night against the Brewers
Speaker 2: on ESPN against Kyle Harrison Big Game, and it was
Speaker 2: his first time at ten starts that he threw two
Speaker 2: pitches that were at least that were over ninety eight
Speaker 2: miles per hour.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's, uh, something's up there him.
Speaker 2: His last seven stars six point one four ERA the
Speaker 2: Pirates are three and twelve in his last fifteen starts
Speaker 2: and second straight Star Wars walked four bathers and watching
Speaker 2: and covering that game for real world, the command of
Speaker 2: his fastball was abysmally bad, and I was a little
Speaker 2: bit scared watching but it did look like it. But
Speaker 2: just knowing where those philosophy breathings have been and then
Speaker 2: where his command was, especially his fastball is about thirty
Speaker 2: percent zone, right, Yeah, he had to to go away
Speaker 2: from the pitch as a fastball. I wonder if he's
Speaker 2: looking at the gun and he's trying to reach back
Speaker 2: and get it and he's overthrown and he's missing a spot.
Speaker 2: Like after the game, he's incredibly I don't know, he
Speaker 2: looked like like sullenly.
Speaker 1: He was like, I can't. I have to be better
Speaker 1: than this, Like for this team to be like this
Speaker 1: is on me. I will be better. I need to
Speaker 1: be better. I mean, he's got a near for ra
Speaker 1: right now, which feels absolutely insane to say out loud.
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, if I got ruffed up by the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six Mets start the season, I also probably
Speaker 1: would be a little fucked in the head. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: and then we're.
Speaker 2: Not seeing Braxton Ashcraft this series as well. He seems
Speaker 2: like he said the Wall throughing the most innings of
Speaker 2: his career has not been a very good month and
Speaker 2: a half for him.
Speaker 1: Right now is.
Speaker 2: Pirates team need to get right series, and usually the
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six mets are perfect for a get right moment.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna make him work for it. I really
Speaker 1: wish we could have played the Pirates earlier in the
Speaker 1: year because I hate to do this to them, but
Speaker 1: we're just gonna have to walk in there and sweep them.
Speaker 1: I mean, the message suddenly, the Central Killers.
Speaker 2: We're gonna walk into any landlocked, stay state or stadium,
Speaker 2: and we're we're gonna try and win that series.
Speaker 1: We're gonna tell you how you're the fly By state
Speaker 1: that you are. For FRANKI Peppers, give me some Frankie
Speaker 1: peppers to end this. So Frankie sent me a voicemail
Speaker 1: last night. Okay, So I don't know if he just
Speaker 1: didn't know when the series was ending or what was
Speaker 1: going on.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe he was hitting the juice. Maybe it was
Speaker 2: in the Jews. We're gonna see what's going on with Frankie.
