1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Another episode of the Mess Up Podcast, not not another

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: not fun one, definitely not great as we got smacked

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: in Game three of the Rocky Series to lose some

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: more baseball games.

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: James, I mean, I'm not again, not gonna do the

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: intro again. But what are we feeling?

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: Oh, it's really bad. Everything's just it's just not going

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: well right now, not really hitting great. The baths tay

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: come alive a little bit in Game three of the series,

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: which is nice to see with the lineup shake up,

11
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: but starting pitching just like all year hasn't been there.

12
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: It's really starting to pile up now. Yeah, both fan guys.

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: Every single day it's it's four innings, four and two

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: thirds and maybe five. It's just it's it's really bad. Yeah,

15
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: it's really bad. Now. It's not been good baseball the

16
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: last two weeks essentially. Now, I think it's been been

17
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: about what thirteen fourteen games, ironic, like since the West

18
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: Coast trip, since yeah, that was when they played well.

19
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: Then they come back to the rest of the country

20
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: and it's like that it was that Sunday night baseball game.

21
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: It's the Giants because like even they were still in

22
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: that one even yeah, and like since then, there just

23
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: really hasn't been a whole lot of great baseball played

24
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: for a team that should be playing a lot better.

25
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: Like I again I said this last episode two. I

26
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: don't think the team's bad by any means, but they're

27
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: definitely playing bad baseball right now. And like the mood

28
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: and the press conference after the game was watching a

29
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: few minutes that was still like overwhelmingly like we literally

30
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: just have to play by it, Like there's no excuses,

31
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: there's nothing, not a lack of effort. It's just these

32
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: are good baseball players who need to play baseball better.

33
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: And I think you just look up and down, like

34
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: at the stats, at the performances like like like you said,

35
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: it is just to simply play better. Like you play better,

36
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna win more games. They did not play better

37
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: than the Rockies in this year, especially in Game three.

38
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: Things got blown out of control. It was not a

39
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: great weekend to be less fan this, Let's be honest, No,

40
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: it wasn't really And like you can start feeling the

41
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: animas that the Bloobirds came out on Sunday, say that

42
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: sale Park was half empty on Friday night, like a

43
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: nice night cut saying on the mound people it's just

44
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: and like people on Twitter are getting really angry. Other

45
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: analysts who don't really know what they're talking about getting

46
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: really angry. It's just like, I don't know, it's just

47
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: it's bad. They're not good.

48
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: It's weird vibes.

49
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: Weird vibes for a team that had such such good

50
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: vibes last year, and I feel like that's like a

51
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: big thing. I mean, Lindor is like a big smile guy,

52
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: like always happy, always vibing. I don't think the players

53
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: necessarily have bad vibes, Like you don't get that feeling

54
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: at all by any means not bad vibes, but it

55
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: definitely it definitely doesn't feel like it felt like, I

56
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: don't know, like last year, like we just passed the

57
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: one year niversity if the Mets scoring seven runs and

58
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: ninth end to beat and that game just one week

59
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: at for the Mets score five runs and ninth thing

60
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: to beat. The party called happened last week of April,

61
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: first week of May twenty twenty two, and that's when

62
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: you kind of felt, oh, this mess team has something different,

63
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: and maybe they were just like maybe it's just a

64
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: bird of expectations. Maybe it's the team coming off in

65
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: the eighty win season rather than a hundred win season.

66
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: So you get how they early you feel a little better,

67
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: you play a little lighter, and things a little easier.

68
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: And now all you keep hearing is about the hundred wins,

69
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: hundred one, one hundred one wins under one wins, and

70
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: that's like feeling like like a bit of a burden

71
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: for this roster. Yeah, I don't know, I really like

72
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: I keep beat a dead horse here, but like it

73
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: really is just like play better. It simply is just

74
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: play better. And I think you really just start on

75
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: the pitching side. We just have to get more out

76
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: of the starting pitching for this team to be successful.

77
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: I think you looked at the numbers about what the

78
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: starting pitching has done this year. It's it's not been great.

79
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: I mean, we can't even sugarcoat in the slightest. I

80
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: think everybody would agree, and including the pitchers, like they

81
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: want to pitch better. You Maxtures said the two when

82
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: he had rough start, like he's like, I have to

83
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: be better for this team, and if this team wants

84
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: to be successful, we need to get more of a

85
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: serting pitchers.

86
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: No, for sure.

87
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been beating this drum all season, but

88
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: it's just it's obvious. Series after series, game after game,

89
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: Mets starting pitchers have only completed six innings six times

90
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: this year. The Sanger Fannite became the first Met to

91
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: complete six innings twice.

92
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: In the season.

93
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: The one game we won, Yeah, they had the one

94
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: game we won this series. Oh my god, it makes sense,

95
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: and that was on May fifth. Mets didn't have a

96
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: starting pitcher complete six innings from April twenty first and

97
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,279
Speaker 1: two May fifth. Did Joey Lukesey start in San Francisco

98
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: until this fry they caught.

99
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: I sang against the Rock.

100
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: No met complete six innings in between that, And of

101
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: course it has been exasperated by the fact that Bacchers

102
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: was injured and then suspended and now he's been less effective.

103
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: Justin Ferlander was injured for the first month of the season.

104
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: David Pearson has not rolled over SUCCESSROM twenty twenty two.

105
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: Tyler McGill just looks a little bit off and every

106
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: he's out there, it's just every that carls grasc was hurting.

107
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Hasn't thrown a pitch like Trevor Williams isn't here like

108
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: every single little thing that has gone wrong with the

109
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: pitching step half.

110
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: And that six innings.

111
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: Number three hundred and seventy five pitchers that completed six

112
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: innings and made it a baseball heading into Sunday, and

113
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: the Met's only done it six times. It's ridiculous mess.

114
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: Starting pitchers have only thrown a one hundred and sixty

115
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: six innings this year altogether. That's the fifth fewest and

116
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: all of baseball. And the team with the fewest, Tampa

117
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: Bay Rays, employee an opener one day a week, sometimes

118
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: two days a week. Those starting pitching numbers are scute,

119
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: so realistically best starting pitchers have thrown the fourth fewest

120
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: innings in the entire league. And the teams with less

121
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: are the Marlins, which is a little surprised. Yeah, they

122
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: proud to be a bit of a deep rotation. The

123
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: Oapenland Athletics, the Colorado Rockies, which hurts a little bit

124
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: more right now in a bunch, and the Cincinnati Retts. Well,

125
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: they didn't even get good starting pitching in the game

126
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: today either, and Brian Felder was not very good. And

127
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: I think that's the narrative with what's going on with

128
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: the Mets, too, I think is a little bit all

129
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: over the place, like you mentioned a little earlier online

130
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: or if you're at the stadium or whatever it is

131
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: people talking about the offense. I mean, we saw the

132
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: lineup change today, which was nice, and I think it

133
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: showed that the lineup was a little more cohesive based

134
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: on how it was that that first inning was great.

135
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: We were feeling awesome and it ended weirdly.

136
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: Because voggle Back got tagged out getting bat picked on

137
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: that rounding of second. But like relatively speeding, that first

138
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: inning went about as well as it could have considering

139
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: like how the Mets had been starting games. We haven't

140
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: been scoring a lot of runs in the first sitting

141
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: this year in general, besides the Randall Bridchwick moonshot on

142
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: the other side. Yeah, but also you like you really

143
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: look at where this Mets team was last year, why

144
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: they were so successful a top of the order and

145
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: scoring the first inning was a huge reason for it.

146
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: And John Childs with a stat right before we start here,

147
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: mess have really fifteen to two when scoring first this year,

148
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: He said that, right, John, thirteen and two thirteen to

149
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: two fifteen total times. Yeah, yeah, fit they have scored first?

150
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: Which fifteen times you scored first in thirty three games.

151
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: It is now, that's not that doesn't that doesn't feel

152
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: like enough.

153
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: No, that sucks.

154
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: And you look back and last year in the first sitting,

155
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: the Mets slash line with two seventy five three fifty eight,

156
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: four to twenty three scoring first and sixty percent of

157
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 1: their games plus seventeen run differential in the first inning.

158
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: This year, the first.

159
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: Thning slash line is one ninety eight three to zero

160
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: eight two forty six two forty six longer percentage in

161
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: the first inning.

162
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: Yea, it's a little rough, almost been like no first

163
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: sitting all runs.

164
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean two point twenty six runs per game

165
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: almost scoring first. I could just a fourty three percent

166
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: of time and a minus nineteen run differential. It's nearly

167
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: a forty run difference to the Mets first innings between

168
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: last year and this year so far, no.

169
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 2: One hundred percent.

170
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: And it is weird too, because again, I actually don't

171
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: think the offense is the problem, and I'm sure something

172
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: not rolling your eyes. I'm sure a lot of people

173
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: hated that I said that, But there's a stat that

174
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: came from Twitter. I'm gonna give this guy credit. Mike

175
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: five Underscore five Underscore five. He tweeted Mets to have

176
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: eighteen games this season where they've scored at least five runs.

177
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: Only the Red Sox, Rays, Orioles, Dodgers, Braves, and Rangers

178
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 1: have more. So it's not necessarily all on the offense.

179
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: It's a combination of It feels like when we get

180
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: good pitching, the offense maybe isn't that sharp.

181
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 2: When we get good hitting, the pitching isn't that sharp.

182
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: Some thing's just not lining up right now, and I'm

183
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: not quite sure why, but it feels like we haven't

184
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: really had like a streak of like playing complete baseball

185
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: at a minute. I also want to shout out friend

186
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: of the podcast, Mick Philips. He tweeted about this as well.

187
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: Through thirty five games this year and last year, this

188
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: Mets team has more home runs the higher stuck realanage

189
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: only three fewer runs scored, and then on base percentage

190
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: that's the same through two decimal Really series are a

191
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: four lower yeats. But last year the starting pitching was

192
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: so consistent week after week series over series six inning,

193
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: seven innings, six innings five and two thirds, two are

194
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: in runs, three in runs.

195
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: That was a big difference last year and the Lake whoa.

196
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: Basically what this Mets team kind of has is that

197
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: Ellianth is probably slightly above average, yes, and at his peak,

198
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: well above average. At its worst, like a little bit

199
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 1: low average. And that looks really good when you're pitching

200
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: really well every single day. We're all giving up two

201
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: or three four runs a game. But when you're not

202
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: the Mets starting pitching era this year, you want to

203
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: guess the Mets starting pitching era, we hearly don't want

204
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: this was heading into the day on Sunday. I don't

205
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: want to guess. It just helped me five point three.

206
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: It's not not where we would like to be for

207
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: a team that is, you know, with World Series aspiration

208
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: that's the eighth worst in all of base It is

209
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: not really that much better if you look at their

210
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: estimators like their FIP or x FIP or Sierra.

211
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not good.

212
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean like even the bullpen up up

213
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: until today, and that's a little bit on. Like Jimmy

214
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: Akamonas came in the fifth base, in the middle of

215
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: the order, like sometimes you're just gonna get hit a

216
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: little bit. But the bullpen, even for the most part,

217
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: has been very good, has been very solid. I think

218
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: this Mets team would be in significantly worse shaped this

219
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: bullpen hasn't been so good early on the season. Yeah,

220
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: but it also in all leverage spots, like the medium

221
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: leverage guys have been good. Drew Smith has been really good.

222
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: John Curris has been up and down. He struggled at

223
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: more recently started well, like I bring up, still looks.

224
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: Good like these middle relievers.

225
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: Brilly was decent while he was healthy, and you have

226
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: the bad outing before he got Mary Robertson. I mean

227
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna get the high leverage Robertson out of Vino.

228
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: Both in pretty awesome. I mentioned Drew Smith already like this.

229
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: These bullpen guys have been good. Steven Nagostak actually looked

230
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: good on Saturday until he gave up that home run,

231
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: which is very unfortunate because he is a guy looked

232
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: like has maybe got a little bit better this year.

233
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: And these guys are really really patching it together because

234
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: like the Mets starting pitcher average outing is less than

235
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: five innings right now for sure. Yeah, one of the

236
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: few teams in baseball that's true, and it's it's really, really,

237
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: really hard to consistently win baseball games. Yeah, because it

238
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: just adds on to more guys that now need to

239
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: throw innings out of the pen, like Jamie Acabonus and

240
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: Tommy Hunter, who play their role on this team, but

241
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: you don't want them getting the bulk of the innings

242
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: that should be going to the starting pitching. And right

243
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: now those guys are throwing a lot more than one

244
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: they're probably expecting or too accustomed to. Yeah, definitely, And

245
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of this is just the fact that,

246
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: like you look up and down the ross, like the

247
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: Mets player development scouting in terms of position players, so

248
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: for the last decade some.

249
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: Of the best in base it's been incredible.

250
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: Is actually the amount of like homegrown talent that is

251
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: on this team and contributing every single day is amazing.

252
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 1: But then you look on the pitching side right now,

253
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: is Peterson and mc ill were the home rown guys

254
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: we need something out of this year so far we

255
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: haven't gotten it. And the fact that pictures, some pictures

256
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: you have are very expensive. Not having the ones that

257
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: are achieved, they'll supplement them and give the innings. It's

258
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: it's really difficult to find the balance right now. And

259
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: we've talked about this like for the last few years,

260
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: like doing this podcast. You kind of need to make

261
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: sure you have pitching like a year in advance a

262
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: lot of time. You saw that when the Mes trade

263
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: for Marcus Throwman a few years ago, because they would

264
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: happen for the next year. Saw that with the Bass

265
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: trade he had the option he signed elsewhere. That's okay,

266
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: but you're still thinking you're over year your veer, sayle

267
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: with the Taiwan signing, but to your deal, he gave

268
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: you cheap innings for two years and just felt like

269
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: that You kind of were trying to get that with Carrasco,

270
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: but he's been injured to try to get that with Katana,

271
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: he's been injured. You lose all the what you thought

272
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: were going to be reliable innings and now it's like

273
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: where do you find them. Yeah, it's been a little

274
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: bit of bad luck on top of poor performance. Yeah,

275
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: you know, I think can't really sugarcoat it. They've not

276
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: performed as well as they should. And I think that

277
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: anyone's if you were saying that what they were, I

278
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: think we'd be lying to you guys. No engine that's

279
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: like and we talked about last episode. I want to

280
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: say it again. The last four pennant winners in the

281
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: National League, people are gonna hate you, and they say

282
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: the Phillies tw to the Braves are twenty twenty because

283
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: we only played twenty seven percent of a season. Washington

284
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: Nationals twenty nineteen, and the Los Angeles Dodgers twenty eighteen.

285
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: All four of those teams were below five hundred on

286
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: May seventh of their respective years they won the pennant. Yeah,

287
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: So having a record that's blow slightly, even if it

288
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: was a few games blow five hundred this point the year,

289
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: by no, means you put you out of contention major

290
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: League Baseball, and even more so in those years there's

291
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: more playoff teams. Yes, and you can kind of look

292
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: around the National League and you can see who we

293
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: have to beat to actually get these playoffs. Spots, Phillies,

294
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: it's the Pirates, It's Diamondbacks, it's I guess the Brewers

295
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: we already got, yeah, I guess.

296
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, who else? What you said? All the West teams? Right?

297
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, said Dodgers. I guess technically, but they look like

298
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna take the Vision out possibly the Cubs we were,

299
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: and then we already even have series wins against the

300
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: Padres and the Dodgers. Yeah, two good teams. Like so

301
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: that's where it's confusing. I'm sure as Mets been, we

302
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: like we do get those high highs of like we

303
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: beat these good teams while we play them. Grant, we

304
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: didn't beat the Braves in that series, but like those

305
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: were there were a bunch of winnable games or we're

306
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: break here, there could have been ours.

307
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: But then like these series and.

308
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: It's it's really bringing back memories of September unfortunately.

309
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 2: But I tweeted that the other day after the Tigers game.

310
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: It does just the energy.

311
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: It's just I don't know, something something like it's we've

312
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: got the bad teams again in our schedule, because let's

313
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: be honest, I mean, you look at the Tigers and

314
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: the Rockies and the Nationals and the Reds coming up

315
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: and even the Giants before that, Like, these are not

316
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: the strong teams in baseball. These are the teams that

317
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: you look at the schedule and this is obviously like

318
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 1: the worst thing that you could probably ever do, but

319
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: you count those as wins. Like you, when you're looking

320
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: at the schedule building out what you think the Mets

321
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: could do, You're like, Okay, they're gonna take two of

322
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: three from this team. They're gonna take two of three

323
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: for that team. Maybe just sweep.

324
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 2: We're talking about us here, fans and walk out.

325
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: Of course, still we're not talking about And then you

326
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: like Buck even every single time we have these yeries,

327
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: all the players and the coaches like, no, that's not

328
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: how we think about them, but I believe them.

329
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 2: I think about that, But yes it does. It is

330
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: just annoying.

331
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: Consistently you look at the schedule and want, I want

332
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: to beat this team. We have better roster than this team,

333
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: We are better put together in this team, and they

334
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: continue to beat even looking forward.

335
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: It's like we have the reds in the nationalsky.

336
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: I know it's it's this could have felt so very

337
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: different if we did get the performance that we were

338
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: hoping for. We haven't, so it makes it everybody feel

339
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: very uneasy, especially with like you said, those high expectations

340
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: coming into the year.

341
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: I don't know by no.

342
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: Means is the season over, Like we're never gonna go there.

343
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: On May seventh, and you.

344
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 2: Gave your room. There's so much baseball left.

345
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: But something does need to change, and there does need

346
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: to be better play by the team. I think everybody

347
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: would agree in that lot and like yeah, like it's

348
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: like it's really everyone wants to find the fix. Like

349
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: everyone online is like trying to hitch like cope with themselves,

350
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: like make this happen, call this guy up, change this,

351
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: and it's just really that's just not how baseball works.

352
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: Like it's all the team, it's whole rings the team.

353
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: It's gotta be cohesive, guys, they're playing together at the

354
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: same time. Guys have to be in like in line

355
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: in check, like.

356
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: You really need to.

357
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: There's such a there's a game that's like so emotional,

358
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: but so it's a voive emotion at the same time,

359
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: and it's also so hard to be stuck in that strip.

360
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: It's also so individual yet like so team heavy, like

361
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: cause like especially the Mets, I don't know, maybe last

362
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: few years, you guys can tell me how you feel

363
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: about this too, But like I feel like when they're

364
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: like vibing and every like one guy's hit and everybody sit,

365
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: but then like when we go cold or like even

366
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: on the pitching side now, like the pitchers are struggling

367
00:12:58,640 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: to go deep into the games.

368
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: Now everybody's going to deep to go into games.

369
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: It just seems like this team is like very much

370
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: like a cohesive bunch, and they kind of ride with

371
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: each other, like the hide rises and falls with everybody.

372
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: And then also we've talked about this is a function

373
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: of the way the Mets lineup is constructed based on

374
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: the fact that there's not as many power hitters as

375
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: probably most other teams are contructed modern basball, So you

376
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: do need more guys literally to be hitting well at

377
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: the same time to score more runs.

378
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: That's part of it.

379
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: And just we're in a two week stretch right now

380
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: while the team's playing poorly, while Pilanzo and Francisco Lindor

381
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: happened to be cold. Like it's not these things aren't accidental.

382
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: It's hardly a score runs when your two best hitters

383
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: are not playing as well. That'd be true for anti

384
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: and baseball, and even just looking again at like teams

385
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: offensive stats a year, the mess of the same amount

386
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: runs the Padres and Phillies. YEA, No one go out

387
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: and say those are bad offense. Nobody really wouldn't for

388
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: some reason, the.

389
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: Mets are and I don't really get it.

390
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: Well, the Bets are to people who think that, yeah,

391
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: aso much every day you get more fruscated by of course,

392
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: but it's just like like I just can't I can't

393
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: wrap behind my mind around the fact that, like the

394
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: offense appears to be a problem, like it's just it.

395
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: It's all the starting pitching.

396
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 3: I think there's also sorry, I think there's also too

397
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 3: Two lessons to be taken from this series. Number one,

398
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 3: the Colorado Rockies for Wuston Gonber on Saturday, who had

399
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 3: disastrous start of the year. Oh yeah, he's been really

400
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 3: good in his last three starts, and today Ryan Feldner

401
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: the Mets got to him.

402
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: But Felner had been very good as well. So that's

403
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 2: number one. Like tip your cap before coming to the

404
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: City field.

405
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 3: All the Rockies beat us, and but they also swept

406
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: the Brewers just now, and that's a playoff wo full

407
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: that swept the Mets back in early April, So like, yeah,

408
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: tip your cap.

409
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: The Rockies came in, they took two or three, they

410
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: played good ball.

411
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: And you hate for the kopium, but the Tigers just

412
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: went two out of three against the Cardinals too, and

413
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: went up front. The card Tigers broke out a five

414
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: game winning streak, Like I don't believe it, Like these teams,

415
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: I still think we're better than teams should have beaten them,

416
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: but like, it's just it's early season baseball, like's really early.

417
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: Do you look at the standings in the middle of

418
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: May and see something that is not even.

419
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: True at the end of the year, and like, yeah,

420
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: not through upsalt and Mets fans wounds, but we've we've

421
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: seen the standings later in the year and we know

422
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: that they don't matter. So I don't know, like, is

423
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: there is there something to take stocking with what's been

424
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: going on, Like, yeah, of course we need we need

425
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: to perform better. The pitching needs to give us more length.

426
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: I think there's like, at least it seems like there's

427
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: a way.

428
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: To fix this.

429
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: It's like an unfixable thing where it's like play better,

430
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: get more length from the pitching. Things should start to

431
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: fall into place. And there's one hundred and twenty plus

432
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: games left in the season. Literally just starts with Justin

433
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: ver Laner and Max Scherz are just just doing what

434
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: they've always done. Yeah, if long, just guys just pitched

435
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: everything every fifth day and pitch well, and this thing

436
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: will probably fall into place much easier to the scenes,

437
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: which I apologize. I'm sure some of you were like

438
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: screaming at us, so crazy, go nuts go like we

439
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: were never gonna do that. It's not how it's gonna go.

440
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: We've never been those kind of guys. We've always been

441
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: like very like saying of like, hey, listen, like it's

442
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: a long season. We start if we start losing our

443
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: mind in our hair May seven, it's going to be

444
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: really really long year. And again, and the Devil's advocate

445
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: that both times full season we've done this podcast before

446
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: this year that me's have actually had really good apa Yes,

447
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: it's greats always seem to have really good aprils, Like

448
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: in the history of this franchise, we always seem to

449
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: have a good apron But what was it done?

450
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: What was it ever? Serves not really done anything in

451
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: my life, though like it maybe it's a good thing.

452
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: It seems actually getting some adversity last year they went

453
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: five straight months about even a stitch of adverse. It

454
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: was easy and every single day was a win, Every

455
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: single series was a win. Everyone pitched well, you hit well,

456
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: you need to timely hitting risk. Remember risk? How what

457
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: is that last year?

458
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? My god?

459
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: But like I don't know, like sometimes it's not going

460
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: to be linear. That's not how it works. Gotta go

461
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: up and down. Maybe gotta go down first to go up.

462
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just trying to look for answers. Yeah,

463
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: we are trying to look for answers. I don't know.

464
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: Hopefully this next series against the Reds we get something

465
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: more laughing we get or if you just have a

466
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: fun with this, this is this is a weird notice

467
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: on it's a weird episode for everybody. Like we're we

468
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: are so conditioned to like having so many great things

469
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: to talk so it was so easy to last a

470
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: little easy last year. Now it was like when they're struggling,

471
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: like it's it's tough. We had two bad series last year.

472
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: One we did a whole episode about juju and voodoo.

473
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: Yeah in like in the control room. Great episode, And

474
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: the other one was very obviously really back. Yeah, so

475
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: we like we just like sat here and soft and

476
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: then we're like and then we had only like three

477
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: more episodes after that, So it wasn't even a big deal.

478
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: But let me ask you a question.

479
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: What was a common theme that you heard from both

480
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 3: met fans and fans of other teams last year when

481
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 3: the Mets around their way to one hundred and one wins.

482
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like from Met fans, we all

483
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: were like, oh my god, this is the year, Like

484
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: this is the team. I feel like more than that, though,

485
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: it was more about the fact that the team will

486
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: like had like this persistence, like they wouldn't let you up.

487
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, like it always like over again, over again and

488
00:16:59,160 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: over again.

489
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: You look the next another good pictures on the mount,

490
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: you get a next bound you there's another good hitter

491
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: coming to play. Yeah, it's gonna take a good act back,

492
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: gonna make you work.

493
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

494
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 3: So what I was what I was thinking was that

495
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 3: I heard a lot of correct me if you guys

496
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 3: think I'm wrong, A lot of oh you beat such

497
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 3: and such, they're not.

498
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 2: A good Oh yeah, of course. Yeah.

499
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 3: This be the example that like, you don't take the

500
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: wins against the quote unquote bad no for granted for ever,

501
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 3: always a team in the other dugout trying to score

502
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 3: more runs than you. There's always so much basicly an

503
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 3: arbitration case this this upcoming off tea like always.

504
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: We need professional athletes, but tons of pride.

505
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 3: We know the.

506
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: Rockies like are not gonna probably be a playoffa. We

507
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: know that.

508
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: But like at the end of the day, those guys,

509
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: like you said, are all still playing. In their mind,

510
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: they're like, we're gonna try to make the playoffs. They're

511
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: not like, hey, we're gonna win sixty games, so what is.

512
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: This game against the Mets matter. They're still gonna play

513
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 2: just as.

514
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: Art and like John said, everyone's working for money at

515
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: the end of the day. Arbitration, these younger arbitrations is

516
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: incredibly scientific. Every single statute of crew, every single moment

517
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: of your professional baseball career is gonna be used either

518
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,239
Speaker 1: for you or against you in a case against your

519
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: team to get you literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions,

520
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: of dollars during.

521
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 2: Years one, two, and three of arbitration.

522
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: That was the big discourse when Yerman Mercedes was hitting

523
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: those whole game. It's like in the Big Game in

524
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: Toto Russus Adam, It's like, dude, you're messing with that

525
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: guy's money, Like, yeah, he cares to be at a

526
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: home run. And then you're up ten. Yeah, these guys,

527
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: he needs to get paid. Like this stuff is important

528
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: to those guys. It may not feel like an important

529
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: game to us as the fans, but all the guys

530
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: playing it is very important every game. Yeah, I mean,

531
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: I guess also literally their job briefly, which is just

532
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: really we're all zoomed out right now.

533
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: I just also want to talk about Code.

534
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk about Kodak, because he was yeah good,

535
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: there was stuff talk about there. Code pitched after a

536
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: nice little long layoff, and he did look good coming back.

537
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 2: He two walks.

538
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: The first inning was a little shaky. I mean, he

539
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: may's been whatever all year, and also you don't pitch

540
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: for over a full week, that's gonna happen again. But

541
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: like he didn't allow an extra base hit, like the

542
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: entire game barely Eddie balls even left the infield after

543
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: the first couple endings. Like it was really good pop outs,

544
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: a couple of slow rounders again, he said before the

545
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: first met to complete six innings twice.

546
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 2: This year, it's huge.

547
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: I would not have changed moments for us. I would

548
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: not have guessed it would have been Code. I sanga

549
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: to be that guy, honestly and not because of his talent,

550
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: just because yeah, we have stands. Yeah, he's touched one

551
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour first time. Everyone was pretty cool

552
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: to see on the board. The triple digits came out

553
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: to Tokyo drift. That couldn't that was that was nuts.

554
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: Electric elect clarified that with DJ rays. That was pretty

555
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: amazing that he came out. That's all ridiculous. We're talking

556
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: about that for a while. But big adjustment for him

557
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: this game. We've talked about the fact that cod that

558
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: hasn't really lived in the zone as much as the

559
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: starting pitcher ready to take that next step would so far,

560
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: and he threw his color in the zone a lot

561
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: on Friday night. He has been throwing some pitches in

562
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: his zonne a byt sixty percent of the time a

563
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: few times this game. Color has been one of those.

564
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: But that one again really high for him. First time

565
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: did since last start fifty swings on just one with

566
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: and only three called strikes. But there were nine balls

567
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: put in play against that pitch, and seven of them,

568
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: based on expected batting average, were completely unlike there were.

569
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: Their balls are very unlikely to get hit GHNS laughing.

570
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: So I was talking about expected expected like expected batting. Guy,

571
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: they don't love it, but there's only there's the only

572
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: way a good show with this code. I bat of

573
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: the balls, but it I thought that was good, and

574
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,479
Speaker 1: that was good because even just like pull it back,

575
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: we're talking about the estimate for the next series. And

576
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: one of the things we like most about the estimas,

577
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: you guys can follow along while we do it. The

578
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: original estimate that we're going to do was balls that

579
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: were hits but expected batting averages under a hundred.

580
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 2: It was hard to follow a lot. I don't want

581
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: you baseball sivon. It's easy. No listeners right where they

582
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: go to find it.

583
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea, like I like,

584
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: I like where your head's at.

585
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 2: But yeah it is.

586
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: I don't think like the majority of people who are

587
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: watching this podcast or listen to us probably have Baseball

588
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: savon open while watching the game like us as well.

589
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 2: I'm just doing this is the way the breakdown.

590
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he's saying the fact he was getting bad

591
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 1: contact on that color based on.

592
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: He was throwing hard. He was throwing hard based on seven.

593
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: And the nine bat the balls against that color, having

594
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: expected bat agay of just two fifty or below.

595
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 2: No, he looked great. He looked awesome, and that's that's

596
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: I don't know this.

597
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: People are gonna hate me too, but like that's cool

598
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: to see.

599
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: It was cool.

600
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: And his post after the game were great. He was like,

601
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: we've been catching too many else I don't want to

602
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: catch any.

603
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 2: More else, which is also hilarious.

604
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: No, and he went out and he's like, I'm not

605
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: there's not gonna be me, Yeah, which is great respect

606
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: that Like, love the hell out of it. When we

607
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: had press conference when we were here, Remember we're like

608
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,479

609
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: nothing else, he gets it. When he made that like

610
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: cool play when he got the alet for his face

611

Speaker 1: and he was like yeah, like he was.

613
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 2: He was feeling it.

614
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: Also, he didn't didn't play baseball in like a week. Yeah,

615
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: he was excited to go out there and play and

616
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: that was a good moment on Friday night we wan

00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: That was fun at the time.

619
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank god for Brandon Nemo jumping on that first

621
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: the second time in the order, loves to jump on

622
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: the first pitch hitted the right field, which was nice,

623
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 1: or the few home runs out you know, we're hit

624
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: by the mess this weekend data vogel back out when engaged.

625
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 2: Now, which was nice, and that was that it? I

626
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 2: don't I think that was I think that might have

627
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 2: been it. It was just two home runs, right, guys.

628
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, that's with the stats, Like dude, I mean,

629
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: if we're not gonna go like we're trying to be

630
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: a little more loose and doing these episodes, especially the

631
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: ones where there's a lot of losses involved, we don't

632
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: need to, you know, rehash everything that happened, like the.

633
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 2: Game two especially.

634
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't think I really want to

635
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: say is that's probably the best I thought Tyler mc

636
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: gill slider looked all year, So you also seem more comfortable.

637
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: He through almost forty percent in time, which is the

638
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: highest rate of sliders the whole season, and looks fine.

639
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: There's another one of those like really laborious alleys for

640
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: Tyler McGill where he's just grinding inning after inning and

641
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: it's like the guys on base, they're not swinging missing

642
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: this swing miss a little more than the stark disual,

643
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: but it's just like tell him it came up. It

644
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: seemed like easy at times. Now maybe it's just I

645
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: don't know the book. The book's here, he's got Yeah,

646
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: it's just it has been easy. No, No, there's not

647
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: been a lot of easy so far this year. It

648
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: really has been easy, which there would be. I know,

649
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: I'd love some easy game.

650
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 2: I miss easy. And also like we're.

651
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: Seeing also feels like maybe like there's like some guys

652
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: like the confidence. Like we've talked a lot, we haven't

653
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: talked much about starring Martep. He really struggled this year,

654
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 1: and the lineup did seem move a little better when

655
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: he wasn't in the two halt on Sunday. One of

656
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: the weirdest things that I saw happened this whole series

657
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: was that I think it was a third or fourth inning.

658
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: Austin Gohmer's on the mound. While he has been okay recently,

659
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: he's the ra at seven and he's a lefty and

660
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: Starling Marte comes up after Alvarez and Nimo get back

661
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: to back singles, and the first pitch is bunting, and

662
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: then we don't know if that's a strong Martin decision,

663
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: if that's a coaching decision, but like it's so to me.

664
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: And situation where you're early in the game, you're facing

665
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: a guy who's a lefty. You're alrighty traditionally Rony Marte's

666
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: good against all pictures. Yeah, left you with seven year

667
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: right as a riety neutral setting right there, Like you

668
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: have the somewhat advantage, and I want Starling Marte confidences

669
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: where where he's like, I want to swing. That's what

670
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Yeah, like we should. And also is early

671
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: in the game. One run in the third ending of

672
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: a baseball game doesn't really do that much for you

673
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: in a game that you we want to really try

674
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: and win, like you because we found out that, Yeah,

675
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: the goal is to score as many runs as possible

676
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: to win the game. So like just to give up

677
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: and out that early when you're when you're in the

678
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: two spot in the lineup is like, let's go out

679
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: there in head, let's go feel good, let's go take

680
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: a crack. Yeah, No, definitely, I didn't like that one.

681
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: Definitely prefer when Starling is more aggressive. Well, yeah, I mean,

682
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: and again he's been struggling this year. I think there's

683
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: no doubt that his performance has not been matching what

684
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: it was last year. And now maybe that's, you know,

685
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: with this new lineup that's coming out, maybe he moves

686
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: down a little bit because a lot of did work

687
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: pretty nice today. Yeah, no, it was up a fiscal

688
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: door keeps like as much as the hits are really

689
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: dropping for him right now, and the power has been

690
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: touch and go, it's really just enough singles, which is all. Yeah,

691
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: it's just bizarre, still just taking lots of pitches, having

692
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: good at bats. The on base percent is still up

693
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: over three twenty, which for his average down by two twenty,

694
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: that's pretty phenomenal.

695
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 2: So just I mean, that's too well taking pitches. Jeff

696
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: MacNeil keeps hitting.

697
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: Really love McNeil in the three hole. I think I

698
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: like him probably better in the two hole, honestly, But

699
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: like in the three hold, when those guys get on

700
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: base and Jeff Neil puts the ball in play like

701
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: he does, I mean, it brings in run. It's also

702
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: the same with Brett Bay, who all the guy does

703
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: is go throw up to the ballpark without his uniform.

704
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: I hit the n hit baseball's really hard. No, baby

705
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: absolutely mashes and he had a bunch of good hits.

706
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: Today runs the base as well, like it's.

707
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: Just a baseman. He's so awesome.

708
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: Our our friend Brett, our friend Brett. Yeah he uh

709
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: have I I've said that on the podcast. Lady Yeah

710
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: said I had nice shoes, he say, then he went

711
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: out and bought them.

712
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

713
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 3: And then you remember you're the one that's at the

714
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 3: shoe example, So I noticed you guys have the same yes.

715
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 2: No, no, the great ones, the great ones.

716
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: When we're at spring trading and we were told to

717
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: keep everybody busy, which is also a hilarious job for

718
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: me and James's massive Mets fans.

719
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 2: But hey, he talked to the Mets players one of

720
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: they're waiting online. How you do busy? Yeah, Brett Batty

721
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: saw us. He was like, hey, what's up? Mark and James.

722
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: He started the conversation, which is cool, and then he

723
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: was like, oh, dude, I love your shoes man, and

724
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: I was like, yep, hey, He's like huh.

725
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: And then the next day I think he had them

726
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: on and I was like, man, he got those quick.

727
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 2: You know somebody who can get him some Nike shoes.

728
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: I'd to give him moment and he called out something

729
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: we actually talked about in the interview in twenty twenty

730
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: one we did with he was like, yeah, Gary Wilson

731
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: looked amazing this year. I was like, he really did,

732
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: and shot out Garret Wilson being a really good friendther

733
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: Brett Bathy because every single time that Breck gets the

734
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: big Hey, Gary Wlfs tweeted that he's on it. He's

735
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: like bread Baby's on and Brett Baty's on it. If

736
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: you love my boy, Brad and Baby Baty looks like

737
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: he's just gonna be a Jets fan as well because

738
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: I've him rocking the Jets. We're ready for the collab podcast, me, Mark,

739
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: Brett Baty, Garret Wells, let's get it out.

740
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 2: I will ascend.

741
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: But also like I'm gonna talk about Lindor before that

742
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: he hit three hard of balls and didn't get one

743
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: hit the show for it.

744
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 2: Baseball is a tough sports fan alloy. It's not it's

745
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: not a fair sport sometimes.

746
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: Damn, Oh, god's really annoying you like that had that

747
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: crazy double Barfais Squavers wasn't technically a hard hit ball,

748
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: and that was smoked though, yeah it was smoked, and

749
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: he's if we're gonna I guess this will be like

750
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: the last player we talked about here, maybe before we

751
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: start talking estimate in the next series preview.

752
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 2: But Alvaz has been playing really, really well.

753
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: I don't have the exact numbers, but I think over

754
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, weirdly, when the Mets have been struggling,

755
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: Alvarez is hitting like two seventy. His strikeout rates down

756
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: to like the low twenties, which is exactly kind of

757
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: where it was in the miners.

758
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: It's been hitting the whole ball better.

759
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: He's ninety six percent on framing, which framing is like

760
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: a fake stat but that's great to see for someone

761
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: who definitely, like a lot of people were saying the

762
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: catching was the big issue for him. They're just starting

763
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: to come together for him now. He looks more comfortable

764
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: every single day and James.

765
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: How will do this?

766
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: Fris squaw Ritz should also know Siscover is twenty one

767
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: years old. He's the youngest catcher to get regular playing

768
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: time in thirty years since Pud Rodriguez. That was pretty

769
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: good time, and also since the beginning of the Atlanta series.

770
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: Discualveras has struck out and walked the exact amount of time.

771
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. Yeah, seven percent of each looks really really cool.

772
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 2: Seven percent that's all been only six games.

773
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: That's still that's like a great six games, though for

774
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: a twenty one year old in the majors who's also

775
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: catching frequently. Good.

776
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, could you're sampled on that the last eleven games?

777
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 2: Eight forty eight?

778
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: Oh yes, I mean that's fantastic. What's the strikeout?

779
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: One?

780
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: Eight?

781
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 3: K's three walk not not terrible at all. It's actually

782
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 3: really good for strikeouts and thirty.

783
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: And again we should really raise He's the youngest catcher

784
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: to get regular playing time in the major leagues in

785
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: thirty years since the nineties, and he looks pretty good defensively.

786
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: When John was born in nineteen sixty, yeah, this is

787
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: punch Bud Rodger. But Erigoz was a rookie when John

788
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: was about fourteen years old. Yeah, that's kind of meaning.

789
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: I remember him very well exactly.

790
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: But yeah, the fact as comfortable as he's looked on

791
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: both sides of the of the balls pretty unbelievable. So

792
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: I probably think the one thing that maybe made the

793
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: scouts say he's not the good of the and there's

794
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: a still like not like he's not like super agile

795
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: like block pitches. Well, the win you could say they

796
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: definitely the way that they have him catching and I

797
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: think this is to get better framing. Is they have

798
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: him with that like on the ground and he just

799
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: you just cannot move as much when you're like's on

800
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: the ground.

801
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing that Carlos Ruiz did with the Phillies.

802
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 2: He was like, well, the first.

803
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: Guys, sure, and like, yeah, you give up blocking, but

804
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: think about how many times the game you actually have

805
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: to make like an important block. I'm not that many,

806
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, it was really it probably depends also on

807
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: the pitch of the situation. Yeah, and he hasn't called

808
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: Code that yet, and Code the ghost fork is probably

809
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: the wildest one of the movie.

810
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: We talked about before.

811
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: Literally one of the most unique pitches in baseball by

812
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: movement's been the velocity. Maybe just keep him off that one.

813
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,959
Speaker 1: But the farest framing like he's great Washington TV's kind

814
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: of a joy because he just pops that glove.

815
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 2: He does so every time, quick little hands, quick little wrists.

816
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he moves like crazily Well for how like

817
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: I like kind of like funny, Look, yeah, gret the

818
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: ball off the wall, but he hustled for that double.

819
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: Oh he's moving if he was if he was hot

820
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: dog and he's out. Do you yeah, do you think

821
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: Chrisis Wolverer's have two pitch running attempts at this point? No,

822
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: I did not and be one of the better framers

823
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: in baseball by earned strikes. That's where I thought we

824
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: were going with that. No, No, it's crazy and like

825
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: I get shout out him and baby because what they've

826
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: done with they could they have been a way really

827
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: transformed this line. Yep, and they have totally changed the

828
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,239
Speaker 1: bottom line. That's why again I'll really rate I am

829
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: James step thoo Oh. I'm not worried about the lineup,

830
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 1: really not. I'm the pitching. The pitching something it needs

831
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: to improve. I'm really not worried about the just kind

832
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: of can make as much noise as needs.

833
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 2: To be made.

834
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: No, I mean, listen, we'll see how they playing Cincinnati,

835
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: which is a great way to mix into the estimate

836
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: here because I lost the last one really close down

837
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: to the wire. We had the average game time Game

838
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: one was what two ten to ten? Game two was

839
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: two thirty eight? Yeah, Game three was three oh six, right, John.

840
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm looking at did some meth here? This

841
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 3: is literally right in the middle. So, like you said,

842
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 3: two ten eight, three oh six, and the average was

843
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 3: two thirty eight. So god, so that was that was

844
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: like the middle point between and in the spectrum time

845
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 3: with the odds.

846
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 2: This was a This was a good one.

847
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 3: Honestly, going into the last episode at zero clue let

848
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 3: the where to go? I was fishing around and I

849
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 3: saw that the Mets have played some long games. Then

850
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 3: that game in Detroit kind of skewed out a lot. Yeah,

851
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 3: and Mark, you said this, and I just looked to confirm,

852
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 3: and it's correct. The Rockies had not played a three

853
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: hour game at all this year before today. Yeah, today's

854
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 3: game three oh six the second longest game for the

855
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 3: Mets this year, first one being at seventeen walk performance,

856
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 3: but was it a brilliant that's.

857
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 2: Sort of the Yeah, it's brilliant. Yeah, Yeah, yep, I

858
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 2: didn't watch that. You didn't miss much. Yeah, walks late

859
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: Friday today, Yeah, a lot of walk today. It was. Yeah,

860
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 2: so a good one. So now James leads five to four. Yep.

861
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 3: Always fun to see a nice close, tight race. We

862
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 3: still don't have a punishment for the first time. We're

863
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 3: really leaning towards count Can we say that then? I

864
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 3: probably probably can't say that word. The last one you said, Well,

865
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 3: if you know, could beep it.

866
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 2: People know the full kid.

867
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you want to you want to we want

868
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: to get cleats click clack click click of the cleats

869
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: on the pavement.

870
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

871
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: So probably, oh, of course, yeah, I black. Maybe I

872
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: don't know why, well you have we're doing the full thing.

873
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to write black on why I don't

874
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: that's my skin, mess up your skin. I don't want

875
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: to break out, wash your face break out.

876
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 2: I don't know. You got a little big skin break

00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: out place under your eyes? Is you don't break out there?

878
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 2: All right? Sorry?

879
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: John Johnny skin expert. I guess I'll know that's right.

880
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: I wanted the dermatologist, Johnny Johnny La, Tony Lorel.

881
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 2: Everyone should go anyway? All right?

882
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 3: Okay, so Matts go out to Cincinnati, Great American Ballpark,

883
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 3: by the way, you guys ever been there before?

884
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 2: Twice? Yeah, what are your reviews? I've been there too.

885
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: I don't think I don't.

886
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's really that bad in terms of

887
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: like what a lot of Midwest Stadians are like. I

888
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: do like the area around it a good bit, like

889
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: the fact they just do that thing that a lie,

890
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: like the those other American cities have wor it's like, oh,

891
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: here's our sports arena and here are twelve bars. Yep,

892
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: that's kind of fun. That's the ballpark itself. It definitely

893
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: isn't like it's not turning your head.

894
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 2: Okay, what about you, Mark, I don't know. I forgot

895
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 2: the question. Man, if a great American ballpark? I've never been.

896
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: That's why I've added.

897
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:44,959
Speaker 1: I blocked it out because I was like, I've never

898
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: been there, so I have nothing that No.

899
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 2: Got a self righteous name. That's not a company, is it?

900
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 2: I believe it's about it's got to be a bit, oh,

901
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 2: is it? I believe?

902
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: So if it's not that self right, you know it

903
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: was crazy. I'm gonna look up right now if this

904
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: is actually uh, this is actually the name of a.

905
00:30:59,520 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: Bank or something.

906
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: But for a team that gotta cross for a lot, yeah,

907
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: they get a spots at the stadium. Yeah, for sure,

908
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: you want to make some money that morning really get

909
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: an influx.

910
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 3: It will be a little ridiculous to not actually have

911
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 3: told it. I saw the Mets play there in twenty thirteen.

912
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 3: The Mets ruined the Reds season. The Reds were on

913
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: their way to the Central title. That yes, two or

914
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 3: three from them forced them into the wild Card game.

915
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 3: And that's when Plato allowed the two homers. Russell Martin

916
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 3: and I think Marlon Byrd wow in the one game

917
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 3: in the wildcard game in Pittsburgh, and I think.

918
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 2: That was it for Dusty. We of course always have

919
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:29,719
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen where we clinched.

920
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: That's the Cincinnati Matt Harvey comes now, which is also

921
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: I guess a little a full circle moment because Matt

922
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: Harvey retired from baseball. What yesterday to day, Saturday Friday

923
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: was Friday Friday. Matt Harvey is real American insurance. That's

924
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: that's almost like you can't trust that. No, Yeah, great

925
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: American insurance. You're really trust the oversell, the classic overs.

926
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: It's not one of the big names that I've heard of.

927
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, the companies aren't on too many parts.

928
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 3: It's usually banks. I mean, if loan depot is a mortgage,

929
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: you have the Brewers Brewers or Great American Family Insurances

930
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 3: that Our American Life or something like that. Iris Miller

931
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 3: guaranteed ram Yeah with the arrow pointing down.

932
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: Ye's bad. That's a rough logo.

933
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: Awful name too, Yeah, yeah, all right's yes?

934
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 2: All right?

935
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 3: If yes, the Mets so not to be expected batting

936
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 3: average way too way too dense, meta well, way too

937
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 3: meta whatever that means. So the last seven games that

938
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: the Mets and Reds have played at Great American Ballpark,

939
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 3: I've seen over ten runs combined between the two teams.

940
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 3: You remember Robert stock I think for his acl running

941
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 3: out of ball and pitchers still hit and pitch clocks

942
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: weren't a thing in twenty.

943
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 2: Two Stockage, those were some games.

944
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 3: Team Israel standout. That's right, Uh, Dominic Smith hit a

945
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 3: homer there.

946
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: So this is where Harry to say, John say it?

947
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: What the expected batting average? No dropper stat? Oh? Okay?

948
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 3: So dom Smith Homard on July twenty first, twenty twenty one,

949
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 3: on a ball that had an expected batting average of

950
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 3: point zero one zero I guess zero point ten yeah whenever,

951
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 3: and that ball got out because Great American Ballpark is

952
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 3: where outs become extra base hits I think you're made

953
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 3: a Grand Slam in that game too.

954
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 2: Well, no, no, your mamam. It wasn't like a ninth

955
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: inning pinch hip pilars. Yeah, I think so. Your pinch

956
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: made a lot of errors that game. That was It

957
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 2: was weird.

958
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: I was goers pitched that game. He doesn't have the

959
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: spie Binder's tattoo raising now, yeah, he has no stuff.

960
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: This serous stuff. Are we facing him? Would be great?

961
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 2: And no, I think you got arms figures.

962
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: Sorry, anyways, it's the estimate a lot of runs after

963
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: American Ballpark.

964
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: So how many combined runs will be scored by the

965
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 2: Mets and the Reds in this three game series?

966
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: Connor Overton pitching will change a lot.

967
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: Grand Ashcraft pitch today, I do the pitching match.

968
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: If you give me the pitch. I think it does

969
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: q the estimate because both teams are basically throwing their best.

970
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: Mets are gonna have Max Schurz are on Tuesday, six

971
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: forty again, six four starts. I'm everyna be aware versus

00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: Luke Weaver. Okay, it was back to the league. He's

Speaker 1: six forty.

975
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: This is this is the mashup.

976
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: You guys want a circle game to watch this series?

977
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: Justin Verlander versus Hunter Green, Hunter Green. We saw him

978
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 1: last year. He just throws gas with a crazy slider.

979
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: He's with one of the freakis pitchers in baseball and

980
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: Thursday Matt and a twelve thirty five easter o that

981
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: Sanger versus Nick Lodololo gotas last year.

982
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: But he hasn't been as good this year. And my

983
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 2: fingers crossed for Luis Sessa.

984
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: Really, man, we got the two. There's two best pitchers. Yeah, yeah, good,

985
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: good for the Mets always, but the rains of poors.

986
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: All right, so we gotta come up with the total

987
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 1: runs of this kill three games to team. Where's my whiteboard?

988
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: Why you got your own whiteboard?

989
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 2: Failed again?

990
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 3: John, I have two white jobs. I need two whiteboards upstairs,

991
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,040

Speaker 3: Dom Smith Grand Slam against Jeff I need there you go.

993
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: Jeff Hoffman. I just want to make sure this number

994
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 2: makes sense. Yeah, I don't like that. Actually changed the number?

995
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, I got mine.

996
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stickle mind bang all right? Ready, Yeah it's

997
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: on a cup, so you're not gonna be able to

998
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: see it. But three to one twenty six, I said, thirty, whoa,

999
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: I believe that keep going low?

1000
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 2: What's yeah? Wow, so we do have we do have

1001
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 2: a middle spot? Yeah, we don't know we do? Yeah,

1002
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 2: an even difference? Yeah, okay, yeah, that's a shap Urright. Well,

1003
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 2: I was got the confused for some reason.

1004
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: You're not a numbers guy. You're a history man. Yeah,

1005
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: I'm not a numbers You're written. You're written man, all right,

1006
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: twenty six thirty six for runs. This series already previewed

1007
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: the pitching matchups. In terms of hitters to talk about

1008
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: on this team, Uh, Tylers Stevenson, he hasn't been playing well,

1009
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: but he's a good baseball player.

1010
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 2: There's no home runs.

1011
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: I don't think he's any home runs happen somebody the

1012
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: powers interesting. Jonathan India has been playing very well this year.

1013
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: He's got a little cold recently again. Nick senzels risonly

1014
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: came off the ields actually playing the best baseball. That's

1015
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: your guy, sneakly like not even my guy. Was just like,

1016
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: I can't believe someone who's like this strong and this

1017
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 1: athletic isn't good that there's.

1018
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 2: A lot of guys in this park.

1019
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: You've had little tabs on forever have well because first

1020
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: of all, fancy baseball, you always want to seek the

1021
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: guys in a good ball These ballparks are like so

1022
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: meaningful for like baseball stats over a full year, when

1023
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: you play eighty games in a play in a bandbox,

1024
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: like you're gonna do well. Spence just the year is

1025
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: a guy who I think is also pretty fun. He's

1026
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: good play discipline, he's really pretty okay like hit tool,

1027
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: but power hasn't been as much there as I thought

1028
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: it would be.

1029
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 2: But by be coming back.

1030
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: They're Christian Garrassi on State just hitting so well in

1031
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: the minor leagues right now. I really hope they don't

1032
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: call him Up're probably missing this series. If Will Meyer's there,

1033
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: Who's someone He's a name you'll know. Kevin Newman, who's

1034
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: just somehow, some way still playing professional baseball every single day.

1035
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 2: It's gonna get five hundred played appearance as.

1036
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: A guy I genuinely can't believe it. Kevin Newman has

1037
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: has over seventeen hundred played appearances, so many I know,

1038
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: so many while being a seventy six WRC plus guy.

1039
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: So about twenty five percent worse the league average over

1040
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: fifteen seventeen hundred played. Their open has actually been pretty

1041
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: good this year. Yeah, I mean that's interesting.

1042
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,399
Speaker 2: I mean what they're what they did.

1043
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: With the team developmentally is kind of interesting. Well, it's

1044
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: probably a really good move for a team that doesn't

1045
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: have as much money some of the others. They hired

1046
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Body to be there, like director of pitching the organization.

1047
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: He installed all his tactics for like three years, then

1048
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: they fired him. Yeah, so they have all his tactics,

1049
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: all the coaches know to start, you know, the schemes,

1050
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: and now they got rid of the guy whocross the

1051
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: money who actually put it into play. So it's kind

1052
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 1: of annoying suck for him. We're gonna see Alex Diaz,

1053
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: brother of Edwin. That was that was the famous estament

1054
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: from last year. Yea and infamous. Yeah, infamous. I don't

1055
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: know what else can we say about this. We're gonna

1056
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: miss Joeyva though, Yeah, I don't know, just be we

1057
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: gotta win, Yeah, we gotta win. Gotta be his fist

1058
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: teams pretty much or Landers, Sheerzer and Sanger pitching goes

1059
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: your three best starting pittchers. Starting pitching's been an issue.

1060
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: This isn't really a great place to starry the pitch

1061
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: or pitch in general. But if anyone's gonna do it,

1062
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: hopefully stulls those three and then we just have some

1063
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: random things to talk about as well. Just to the

1064
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: Mets world, there are some cool things that have happened.

1065
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: Shout to Luigi and David, who were both like kind

1066
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,480

00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: Brought the heat with a great play ball, fantastic playball,

1070
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 1: and you just don't find a lot his named Luigi.

1071
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: It's not a popular respect it's a great name. Luiz's

1072
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: an awesome name, shout Italians. And then Steve David, David

1073
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: not Steve David. He did the lineup for game number

1074
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: three and he gave a killer, killer lineup in especially

1075
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: with Joey. Yeah really he's channel like the msgp A,

1076
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, amazing at John. I believe he has a

1077
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: story with David.

1078
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 3: The way it works is I say the line now

1079
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 3: batting or whatever, and uh, they repeat it back and

1080

00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 1: it for this episode. I think it's one more thing

1166
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: we should talk about.

1167
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 2: I'll go for it. Over the weekend.

1168
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:08,320

00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say it did feel like on Friday

00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,920

Speaker 1: the ballpark without a doubt, without a doubt.

1176
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 2: So it's it's still it's still.

1177
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: Really hard to probably analyze their assessment Harvey's time with

1178
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: the Mets.

1179
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,880

00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: The Heat played so well and the Knicks played so

1183
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: poorly that I think they the law of average is

1184
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: just gonna even out. And you gotta attack Jimmy Butler.

1185
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 1: The guy's like Olympic like crazy, and somehow they still

1186
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: don't keep attacking him.

1187
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 2: And I can't. I you know, I can't stay Max Strews,

1188
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 2: I'm so dumb.

1189
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,879

1190
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: Duncan Rominson has like a really obvious like thing he

1191
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,640

1192
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,279
