00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,800

27
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: a lot of time yesterday, a lot of baseball talk.

28
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: But we have not yet spoke with the Mets up

29
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: people about this trade deadline. Recap wanted to bring us

30
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: through all the guys that we traded for, and then

31
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: we'll go through and say what we think about all

32
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: these guys totally.

33
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 2: I think, just even first to take like a large

34
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 2: overview of all of it. I think the Mets had

35
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: one of the better trade deadlines of baseball. It's crazy

36
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: that might be for some people to hear. I love

37
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: and I know everyone loves hearing a grade. I think

38
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: it was such a clean, solid b which I think

39
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: in terms of the league was really good. The only

40
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: teams I think we're buyers that actually did better than

41
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: the Mets were the Yankees yep, who almost stole jazzism,

42
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers, who just got They filled every single

43
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: hole they had without giving up a very elite prospect.

44
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: And after that, Phillies probably, I don't know the Phillies.

45
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: The Phillies almost gave to my for a Stevez, I

46
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: can't put them on the same level. They filled a

47
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: bunch of holes. Hayes is fine. Like I thought they

48
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: could have gotten a better outfielder or a better reliever,

49
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: and then they gave up two They gave up two

50
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: ballpen pieces that might be better than Carlos Stevaz the

51
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 2: rest of the year, which is why I can't.

52
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: But Anthony, Sir, Anthony was broken in Philly, like that

53
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: was that was a change Sceneries move, for sure.

54
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: I just I really like George Klassen, the starting picture

55
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: that moved and the other picture they moved in low way,

56
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 2: Spencer Algieri, because I'm a boy they left you.

57
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: They missed a lot of bats. Yeah, but I thought

58
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: I thought the Mets had a good one. I gave

59
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: them a B plus, I gave more. I give more

60
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: higher grades on the a's for people. A lot of

61
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: the sellers I think got a's too, But in terms

62
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: of buyers, definitely Dodgers Yankees agree with you, I could.

63
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: I think you could make an argument for the Phillies,

64
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: and I think they would make an argument for the Orioles.

65
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: So those are the other two ones that I think

66
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: you could say maybe had a better deadline than the Mets.

67
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: Totally Oils the one I probably would. They made so

68
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: many weird trades. I'm just like, I don't know, and

69
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: then they just I I were talking about too many

70
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: other teams are not the Mets on the Mets Podcast.

71
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: But I thought the oriel and the Phillies had a

72
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: golden opportunity for a kill shot that they didn't exactly take.

73
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: I just I thought that with what they had in

74
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 2: their farm system, more so the Oils and the Phillies,

75
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: the Phillies might have traded their best prospect for reliever

76
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 2: that is not is there their own fourth best reliever,

77
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: which I think just building through that logic, to me,

78
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: that feels a little.

79
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: Weir tump the breaks, he's a guy in a ball

80
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: still pumped the brakes on an a ball pitcher pitching.

81
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: Propects for fake sure, I said that might be their

82
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: best prospect that was there. Painter Andrew Painters is fake

83
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: until he pitches truth is you can't say that. Okay, whatever,

84
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: We're not gonna have the arguments difference. Betwen Painter and

85
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: Teethment come on the same thing.

86
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: They don't come back. Painter was gonna be at the

87
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: major league level today. Tetaman still was like, we need

88
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: to see more before he gets to the major league level.

89
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Now that that's extra fake with a pitching prospect where

90
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: they just don't pitch, people think they're really good.

91
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: But back to the Mets. Sorry for sorry, sorry for

92
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: argument three minutes not the matter. Mark and I were

93
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: complaining that we talked all that yesterday about trade deadline.

94
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: We still had unfinished takes by the trade deadline. However, however,

95
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: messed really well. We got Jesse Winker over the weekend,

96
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: which talked to you guys about. We got Ryan Stan

97
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 2: again film maytime last week we talked to you guys about.

98
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: And we also added Paul Blackburn Wascar Brozobon, who Mets

99
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: fans know far too well and interesting, another piece Tyler

100
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: Zuber from the race.

101
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: And I think all in all, we.

102
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: Probably didn't trade any of our top ten prospects in

103
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: the system. I think definitely no one in the top

104
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 2: fifteen Kid Morris is the closest and he's someone that

105
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: we both liked, but he's someone who kind of just

106
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: looks like more of a back and star that's still

107
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: in single age. So I'd rather get a back and

108
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: start than a major league, which exactly what they did.

109
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 2: All in all, super happy with the deadline. I think

110
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: Davis Turns do a tremendous job. He's known for winning

111
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: on the margins. He won hardcore in the margins, and

112
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 2: this Mets team is a lot better with fewer holes

113
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: than they had a week ago.

114
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was looking through where the Mets prospects that

115
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: they traded ranked in these systems. Now, granted, pipeline hasn't

116
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: fully updated. They've added the guys that are traded, but

117
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: I don't think they've updated or adjusted for what they

118
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: were going to do for the full like second half

119
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: update there including draft picks. But Tyler Stewart went to

120
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: number seventeen in the national system. Will Frado Laura, who

121
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: they traded to the Marlins Forroscar Braslebond was not ranked.

122
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: And then they traded Paul Gervais to the Rays. He

123
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: was not ranked in the Rays system. And what's the

124
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: last guy that we were talking about, I'm Faian Morris. Yes,

125
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: Kate Morris was number twenty in the Oakland A system.

126
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: So again, no really big hits whatsoever to what the

127
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: Mets have done, and they were able to bring in

128
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: guys that are gonna help this major League baseball team

129
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: win right now, which is the most important thing. And

130
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 1: what's also cool is Paul Blackburn control next year, Wassco

131
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: Brosseubon control until he's never yeah, until he no longer

132
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: wants to pitch. Tyler Zuber control forever. Like all the

133
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: guys they brought in are not just fixtures for the

134
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: team this year. They're gonna be here for the next

135
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: couple of years.

136
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: I believe Stanik and Mayson also also have options for

137
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: next year.

138
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: If I remember then, Rinker is the only expiring one,

139
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: but that was we knew that, and they again they

140
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: give them nothing totally.

141
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: And for broz Obon and Zuber, they both have options,

142
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: so it gives a lot of flexibility too for this

143
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: bullpen going the rest year. I just think the bullpen

144
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: was the thing that needed the most help, and we

145
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: knew that the Mets weren't going to trade really impact

146
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 2: guys to get them. We talked to you guys way

147
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: too much about Carlsostevs and the Phillies. Mark and I

148
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: a libis split in George Klassen, but I think that

149
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 2: he is. He is one of the more exciting minor

150
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: league pitching prospects right now. Just what he's done this year,

151
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: seeing guy move that much, He's someone who can profile

152
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: as the middle rotation guy as far as the back

153
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: end rotation guy like he obviously has more going for

154
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: him than Kid Morris or Tylas Stewart, the best prospect

155
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: that Mets traded, and I even think the other pitcher

156
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: of the Phillies trade, Spencer Algieri, he also might. Yeah,

157
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: he also might have as much, if not a little

158
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: bit more ceiling than either Steward or Morris as well.

159
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: And the Phillies traded both of them for reliever and

160
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: Carls Established, who I like, who's objectively good but is

161
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: an impact And then for the Padres to get Tanner

162
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: Scott and Jason Adam. They traded two starting pitching prospects

163
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: and Robbie Snelling and Dylan LESCo, who I think truthfully

164
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: have like high end upside. Think these guys could be

165
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: two threes in the future easily. They could also not,

166
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: but they could. So those are the prices of the

167
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 2: best relievers on the market, and the Mets guy relievers

168
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: aren't that much worse and have a little bit more

169
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 2: flexibility for almost nothing at all. So again, it's just

170
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: very very happy at how David Searns managed in a

171
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: tight space and got players that will help the major

172
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 2: league team without giving up any impact prospects.

173
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's start off with the least sexy of the bunch,

174
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: which is gonna be the really over side. So Tyler Zuber.

175
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: That was the name that we were honestly surprised about,

176
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: especially because we've seen Paul Gervais and we thought that

177
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: he was an interesting reliever, big tall dude, low armslot,

178
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 1: nasty stuff, striking out like thirty percent of the batters

179
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: he's face in double A. But it seems like the

180
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: Mets did not value him nearly as much as I

181
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: do with Tyler Zuber, who, upon further review, looks like

182
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: he has some really really interesting stuff and a really

183
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: unique armslot as well.

184
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very much the same archetype of believers that

185
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: David Stearns has gone after since he's come to the Mets,

186
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: we'd armslot us flat release angle on the fastball. The

187
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: fastball that rises a slyther that is I would say

188
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: pretty devastating stuff, plus gives it a one thirty seven,

189
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: which won the highest sweepers in the system. And also

190
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: a color that he throws that's his good weapon for

191
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: him agains lefties that stuff plus gives a one twenty four.

192
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: And of course, like every other reliever that Davis Stearns

193
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: goes after, Tyler's ruper strikes a lot of guys out

194
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: and he also has big command issues and walks a

195
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: lot of guys. So that is just exactly our type.

196
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: And we've done it again, Ryan Stanick Tyler Zuber. And

197
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: that's he's someone who I don't know. I don't think

198
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: he'll put the major league roister. Not positive on that,

199
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: I'll take a look.

200
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he did not, though I don't think so.

201
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: So that's again another guy with options, but I think

202
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: they like and just someone who they think they can

203
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: mold him into a slightly better believer than he was.

204
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: And Gervais I think stinks to give up because I

205
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: think he could have been a pretty awesome major league believer.

206
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: But if they don't believe he was a good major

207
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: league believer right now and they think that Zuber is,

208
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: then I understand why making the trade. This was the

209
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: one that thought was the strangestness. This will be a

210
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: nice staring contest between the Mets and Rays. Who can

211
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: win this trade without their own internal pitching development.

212
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be an interesting one, to say the least

213
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: in terms of the other reliever, Wasscar Brasabon. This is

214
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: going to be probably we might be breaking news to

215
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: the Mets fans if they haven't really been paying attention

216
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: to Wascar or if they didn't if they didn't see

217
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: him pitch today in Game three against the Minnesota Twins.

218
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: Wasscar Brasbon's thirty four years old. He was a rookie

219
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: last year or two years ago as a thirty two

220
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: year old, And you might remember when he played against

221
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: the Mets. He came in. I think he pitched ten

222
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: minutes ye year and evened six of those ten innings

223
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: against the Mets to start the season. So he's a

224
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: guy that we've actually seen a ton and I never

225
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: I always remember being like, wow, Wasscar Brosubon interesting dude,

226
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: and I thought he was like twenty four when they

227
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: first called him up. And the I looked him up,

228
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: he said, thirty two. Where this guy come from. He's

229
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: got a little bit of an interesting backstory.

230
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: Very interesting backstory. He came from the Independent League two

231
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: years ago as thirty two year old. And he also,

232
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: this is a note from the baseball prospective folks. One

233
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: of the reasons that we might have gotten so cheaply

234
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: because wilfray L laura Is basically has nothing of a prospect.

235
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: I was given up this deadline and Wasscar Brosabon has

236
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: five full years of team control and seems like an

237
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 2: actually good reliever. Brazabon's had visa issues in the last

238
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 2: two years, and it'd taken time from the start of

239
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: the season each of the last two seasons because he

240
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: struggled again to America and that's because allegedly when he

241
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: was coming here the first time as an international free agent,

242
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 2: he may or might not have been lying about his age,

243
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: which makes sense because seems like he broke out a

244
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: little bit later in life and wanted to make some

245
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 2: more money. But that's neither here nor there. We support

246
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: Hector Wasscar Brosubon in any endeavor that he has with

247
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: the United States government. Hopefully everything's safe and secure there.

248
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: But he's almost had an amazing year, and again the

249
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: Mets gave up absolutely nothing to get him. I know

250
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: no one really likes that MLB Trade Values calculator, but

251
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: I think it was funny that they said that this

252
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: was the most lopside of trade that happened this deadline.

253
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: Did they really Yeah, they said the excess value for

254
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: Wilfred they said will fail. Laura is basically a nothing

255
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: player and bras Lebon as a reliever that's kind of good.

256
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 2: With five years of control, it's huge and Braselebon's had

257
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 2: a big breakout year for a couple of reasons. One

258
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: he's been throwing a little bit harder. Two you're gonna

259
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 2: love this. He has stopped really throwing his change ups

260
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 2: right handed batteris He's throwing it like seventy percent less often,

261
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: and he is throwing it's He's also done the same

262
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: thing with a sinker gets right handed batter. He's throwing

263
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: a more lefties, which that's kind of a weird one,

264
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: but that's just it might just move a lot horizontally,

265
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: so I might think it works. But very interesting reliever

266
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: in that he likes to mix all four of his

267
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: pitches against this from both sides of the plate. He

268
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: kind of changes up where he throw those pitches against

269
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 2: each side of the play, but he usually does show

270
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: people all four of them and something else really cool.

271
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: First outing with the Mets, he was throwing significantly harder.

272
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: He got over ninety nine miles an hour.

273
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: Today.

274
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 2: He hasn't done that all season, hasn't done that over

275
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: a full calendar year. So it seems like he's out

276
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: of as Mark we'ld call it the hell hole in Miami,

277
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: and now he's ready to jump.

278
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: In a playoff race and be a really useful reliever.

279
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 3: Yeah.

280
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's something that you're gonna see

281
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: with the Marlins players. And you mentioned that Iosaurus said

282
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: this as well, that maybe the guys on the Marlins

283
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: were just like, I don't really care because I'm in

284
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: Miami and I'm played for the Marlins and this place sucks.

285
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: Because Josh Chishm has been amazing for the Yankees. There's

286
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: literally a way to say crazy. Who thought Josh Chishm

287
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: was gonna be good? Wow? Did who saw that coming? Crazy?

288
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: Not Jonathan paple Bon, Not Jonathan paple Bond, definitely not

289
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: Jonthan papple Bon. Wascar Braso Band's throwing Harder. Can't wait. God,

290
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: I'm so excited we get to talk about this guy

291
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: for five years. I just love the name too, It's

292
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: electric Wascar Braso Bon. I'd love to know what his

293
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: walkout song was. Hopefully someone can maybe tell us if

294
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: they're at the game today. And then, like Brian Da

295
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: La Cruz, getting traded to the Pirates for absolutely nothing

296
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: like that might end up looking like an absolute steal too.

297
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: Another good ballplayer that we think is better than a

298
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: lot of people in baseball world, but we also know

299
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: ball better than most, so yeah, especially.

300
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: A guy like day La Cruz, who like the things

301
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: he was quite bad at were like being patient, defense

302
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: and base running, which are all kind of the end

303
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: of the day effort effort mental based things, which is

304
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: like effort the mentals might be a little hard in Miami,

305
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: so that team, I don't know what the hell is

306
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: gonna happen to that team the rest of the year,

307
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 2: But thankfully we got most of our games out out

308
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: of the way against them. Already love the oly schedule

309
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 2: that we don't get to play the Marlins in this

310
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: beleague or state. Also love so much that you know,

311
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: we're in the midst of the playoff race and the

312
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: Yankees are playing the Phillies and we get to play

313
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: the Twins. So so great, that makes so much sense.

314
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 2: But again, we won the series. Whatever, we talk about

315
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: it a little bit. Then the last guy, we got

316
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 2: someone that if you guys been listening to the met

317
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: stuff for this whole year, we foretold this Paul Blackburn,

318
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 2: I'm coming home, Mark and I predicted this on January second,

319
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 2: a podcast that we did probably in December twenty eighth,

320
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: that Paul Blackman would be a.

321
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: MET this year.

322
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 2: We both vowed to drink three entire beers and those

323
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: are Cityfield tall boys. We have to stick to that

324
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: during Paul Blackburn's first Quality Star Cityfield if he became

325
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: a Met. So we're gonna find a way to get

326
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: to his home opener in a few weeks, and if

327
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 2: you guys are gonna be there with us, please join

328
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: us in our pledge to drink three beers during Paul

329
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: Blackburn's first home Quality Stars a met. But this is

330
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 2: a This is a that I think is the most

331
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: divisive in the Mets community. Met with a good bit

332
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: of vitriol because people will see like a four or

333
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: five cree ra and the guy who's been at his

334
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: been worse than he ever has, probably over the last

335
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: twelve months. But something hilarious. People have been saying he's

336
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: a former first round pick. Something else hilarious. People are

337
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: saying he's a former All Star. Both of those are true,

338
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: but they're kind of meaningless. Mark when was he drafted.

339
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: He was drafted a fifty sixth overall in twenty twelve,

340
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: which was somehow still the first round, when now that

341
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: would almost be out of the second round.

342
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so technically a first round pick, technically an All

343
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: star because he has had to have one year or

344
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: two years ago when he made it. But he's a

345
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 2: classic kitchen sink guy. He has a good slider and

346
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: in a good change up. He kind of manipulates right

347
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 2: handed left handed batterers by mixing a fourteen fastball color

348
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: and a sinker. He also shows a curve ball when

349
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: he needs to. Another year of cheap team control next year. Again,

350
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: classic kitchen sink back of the rotation guy, which if

351
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 2: we weren't going to trade top prospects and get Jack

352
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 2: flairr their yuse Kakuchi, who wound up going for prospects

353
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: that would have been much higher in our system.

354
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: This made a lot of sense. Yeah, I mean for

355
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: the price that we got Paul Blackburn, I'm super happy.

356
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: I know Jim Bowden, everybody's favorite GM, him and Jim Dukett.

357
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: It must be the name Jim.

358
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: There's just all Hey, I'm James, not Jim.

359
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: You're James exactly. That's what I'm saying. If you were

360
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: Jim Chiano, you would be freaking out about this deadline.

361
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: You'd be so angry, you'd be hating it. Like Paul Blackburn,

362
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: who's this guy? What are we talking about? But Jim

363
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: Bowden did not particularly love the Mets deadline, which is

364
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: a great thing for a Mets fan. Two here, because

365
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: who hasn't worked as a GM in baseball for over

366
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: a decade probably a good reason neither of we, but

367
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: we did. David Searns is listening. We know that. I mean,

368
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: it's getting to a point now where it's getting a

369
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: little crazy. Because the fact that Paul Blackburn, there wasn't

370
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: a rumor there was. There was nothing about Paul Blackburn

371
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: even last week. Yeah, and all of a sudden banged

372
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: to the Mets January second. We said it, and we

373
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: said in the last episode two, I think we jumped

374
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: at Paul Blackburn. Probably we'll bring him home.

375
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 4: Why not?

376
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: Good fit. And the thing that I like about him

377
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: is he's a quality start machine. Like when he's at

378
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: his best, he's gonna give you five to six innings,

379
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: three runs. He's never going to You're not gonna watch

380
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: Paul blackburny. This guy's special man, Like, he's not gonna

381
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: give you the Paul the Sean and I eleven strikeout

382
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: game like that we saw during the series against the Twins.

383
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: But he might give you seven innings, three hits, maybe

384
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: a couple of walks, a couple hits, a couple of

385
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: strikeouts here and there. He's Oldmeal, as you like to say, totally.

386
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: And I think that grabbing a pitcher from the Oaklanades

387
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: is usually good because while they're stadium is great to pitching,

388
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: our stam is also great to pitching. They don't have

389
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: the best, they don't have the most coaches and the

390
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: most analytics that I think, yeah, they might not be

391
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: game planning the best. And also they have bad defense.

392
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: They don't have very good defensive players in that team.

393
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: They don't really care because they're not a winning baseball team.

394
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: So getting him a better defense like the Mets have,

395
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: getting him better game day prep like the Mets will

396
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: give him, I think I most people are gonna have

397
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: Dajau because we said all the same shit about Howsard.

398
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't fucking true.

399
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: But this seems like a better version of Adrian Houser,

400
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 2: which is das David Sara to be like, all right,

401
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 2: we still need this like late rotation spackle, which yeah,

402
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: we need.

403
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: And you see your next year and he's gonna cost

404
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: five million dollars. He's gonna be free, so that's five.

405
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: I think it's a little more. He was three four

406
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: this year. I can't imagine he jumps to twelve. Oh yeah,

407
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: Oh he's still arbitration. I thought he had a No,

408
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: he had a contract. No, he's still arbitration. So he

409
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: imaginely jumps to five, maybe six seven at the most.

410
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: He was one point one this year, is next year

411
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: probably five to the ceiling.

412
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: He no, he's three point four. It says this year,

413
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: Oh one point one.

414
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: The Mets are paying for the rest of the year

415
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: year yes, okay, okay, yes, maybe fewer than ten million dollars.

416
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: Yes, which he can't really get starting pitching for so

417
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: love to see the win.

418
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, so again, I think overall, very good deadline. David

419
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: Sterns did what David Stearns does, and he won on

420
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: the margins, Like that's his game. He likes to dig

421
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: himself into a crevice and find any value he can,

422
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: while in his mind's probably giving literally nothing up. Like

423
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: I don't think David Stearns thinks one of these players

424
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 2: he gave up will ever be an impact perform at

425
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: the major league level.

426
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: He he might say, we just drafted them, We just

427
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: drafted them again this year. What do I need these guys?

428
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: They're not moving fast enough we got into.

429
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: Like Stuart's the closest, but I think we talked about

430
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: him last episode. He doesn't really have a weapon against lefties,

431
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: so who knows how good the major league star they'll be.

432
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: And Morris is still in single lights. Trade single A

433
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: pitchers like why not?

434
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah? Why not trade single pictures for major leaguers.

435
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: I'll take that chance every single day, especially when they're

436
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: not the greatest single A pitchers of all time.

437
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, which George Klassen might be. But I digress.

438
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: I digress. Good trade deadline for the Mets. Very happy

439
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: with it. This team is better than it was a week.

440
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: Ago, and we saw the Mets kind of feel good

441
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: a little bit too coming out of the deadline, end

442
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: up winning the series against the Minnesota Twins. Nice win

443
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: on the deadline day, clean, little two nothing victory in

444
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: Game two, smoked them in Game one, not even close,

445
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: just beat the pants off them, which was phenomenal. Game

446
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: three was a little disappointing, but listen, you lose games.

447
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: It's seven. Reino's allowed to be off every once in

448
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: a while, and it seems like that today he just

449
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: simply was off, not as sharp. But I do love

450
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: that the Mets were able to take care of the Twins,

451
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: a team that we talked about coming into the series.

452
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: It's a playoff team. This is a really solid team,

453
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: one of the more well rounded teams in Major League Baseball,

454
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: and for most of this series they really were just

455
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: in control. Yeah. I also think.

456
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 2: Because you said the Mets came out this deadline seemingly

457
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 2: feeling good. I think the Twins came out of this

458
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 2: deadline seemingly feeling bad.

459
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: Yes, because their.

460
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: Team that's super in the mix, and the only player

461
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: they got was Trevor Richards, Yes, who is not nothing

462
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 2: special at all, as far away from special as you

463
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 2: could possibly get.

464
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: His main pitches change up. So that's yeah, I'll tell

465
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: you a lot.

466
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

467
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 2: So being a team that's one making huge s tries

468
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 2: and chasing down a team that's been a division leader

469
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: all year in the Cleveland Guardians, having probably your best

470
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 2: all around roster you've had, like in this new regime

471
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: and the Rockaball Deli days of the Twins having a

472
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: real playoff rotation probably the first time ever, because you

473
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: have Pabo Lopez pitching well, Joe Ryan pitching well, and

474
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: I'm missing I'm missinglely.

475
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: Over Bailey Obra pitching really well.

476
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: Like one, two, three bang, Like that's a playoff, that's

477
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: a playoff three that you can say we can go

478
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 2: into a series with which I don't think the Twins

479
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 2: have ever thought that way in a playoffs years. They're pitching, baby,

480
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 2: said Johann And that did not go well either, But

481
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: you can kind of feel them, no, definitely not Wednesdays

482
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: if they fucked our shit, but feeling a tiny bit,

483
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: a tiny bit flat. Maybe maybe they knew, but just

484
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 2: that's kind of like the sliding door of the trade

485
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: deadline for teams. But good series overall, Like the Monday

486
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: massacre was phenomenal. So it happened in the same night

487
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 2: that we couldn't hit in softball, which I think is

488
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: telling about the way our our lives and the Mets

489
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 2: are kind of kangru into one another. But a lot

490
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: of fun to just beat the shit out of a

491
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: really good baseball team. Yeah, and especially we can now

492
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 2: and the Simeons Woods Richardson conversation if a Mets fans

493
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: ever wanted to have that about like, I can't believe

494
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: we gave this guy up. You know, there were you know,

495
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: you know, Matt from sant Island was talking about it.

496
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: We gave this guy up. Look, he's got three one ERA.

497
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 1: We could have used him right now for Stroman. This

498
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: guy's a Yankee now, like you know, that was a

499
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: conversation that someone was having and we absolutely destroyed him.

500
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: First second time through line. We were watching the game

501
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 1: at Emblem in Brooklyn, and I told you I'm like, man,

502
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: he looks like not impressive at all. I was like,

503
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna get to him second time through, and that's

504
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. Alonso got a home run, Vientos double.

505
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: McNeil was hitting the ball well. I mean everybody was

506
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: hitting the ball well in this game.

507
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 2: All eleven players that came to the plate for the Mets.

508
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: That got a hit. Nice Ben Gamble, look at that,

509
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: crazy Ben gamblent Tyre Onto came off the bench. Guy it.

510
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: Tyron Tiler came off the bench and robbed a home run,

511
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: which was so mean when the Mets are up ten

512
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: runs and like the seventh or eighth inning. But also

513
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 2: from this game, we really want to talk about Kintana

514
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 2: because Kintana has made a full one eighty in the

515
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: last month and a half, six weeks, and it's the

516
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: point where I I can say, it's every episode so

517
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: critical of Kantana. I'm really happy about it because there

518
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: was some material change.

519
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: Guys.

520
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 2: Jose Kintana's curveball has completely changed himself as a pitcher.

521
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: He threw the pitch fifty percent of the time on Monday,

522
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: his high water mark for throwing that change. The curveball,

523
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 2: and he starts this year with thirty three percent, and

524
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 2: he threw it over and over and over and over again.

525
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: It got eight whiffs on twenty three swings. It allowed

526
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: one really hard hit ball, but that was it, and

527
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 2: he he cruised to a fantastic phenomenal start in the

528
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: season when it looked like he was completely lost. His

529
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: rates down to three point eight nine, which after the

530
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 2: Wednesday blow up is lower than Luis Averno's, the second

531
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: lowest on the met staff. Yes, he's been a miraculous

532
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 2: steadying force. And this Kintana pitching, and like, I'll throw

533
00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 2: him out there and play. I'll throw them out their

534
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: Game three the Wildcard Series. I think he's just funky

535
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: enough to make it happen.

536
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: Right now, we kind ofn't really have a choice, but yeah, like,

537
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: I'll throw it out there if he's pitching like this,

538
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: the curve and he's throwing the curveball out to the

539
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: righties too, because they had a righty lineup, I believe,

540
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: on on Monday night and they were they were diving

541
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: at this thing, they were going fishing. They were just

542
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: casting out, trying to make any sort of contact with it,

543
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: making Carlos Santana and Royce Lewis and guys like that

544
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: look foolish, which those are very professional hitters, and then

545
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: got a shout out Jose Budo again continues to just

546
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: be such a fucking dog. I mean, how do you

547
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: not love this guy? Three innings, two strikeouts, gets to

548
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: save second save of his career. Era's down to two

549
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: point four to seven on the year. He just does

550
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: whatever the Mets ask of him, and he does it well. Yeah,

551
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: and the Mets because it was weird moment in this

552
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: game because the Mets were up double digit runs and

553
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: Budos stayed in to finish the game. People like, this

554
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: might be our second best reliever. Why is he still

555
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: in the game. And then the Mets kind of hinted

556
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: after the game and have since announced that he is

557
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: going to be moving back into the rotation for Tyler

558
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: McGill this weekend. Oh, they announced it's officially he's in

559
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: the rotation. Yeah, because McGill pitching release today. Oh I thought,

560
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: I thought, because they said Paul Blackburn will slow them.

561
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 2: Mendoza basically said, we're keeping Budo stretched out because we

562
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 2: think that that's where we want him. We're gonna see

563
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 2: if we're gonna actually do that with the six men rotation.

564
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: But they don't have it off the next week either,

565
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 2: so they might just do that to keep everyone stretched. Also,

566
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: I was checking back. This was the highest percentage of

567
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: curveballs Cantana has thrown in a game that he didn't

568
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 2: leave with an injury early since twenty fifteen. Whoa, and

569
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: that was September thirty, the twenty fifteen where he threw

570
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 2: one percent more.

571
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: Wow, why does it not do this more often? It listen,

572
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: seems like this might be a recipe for success for

573
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: him because that all so mid, so siler, I mean,

574
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: the just slid of the change up, the fastball, the sinker,

575
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 1: everything's very mid.

576
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 2: Curveball is excellent. And again, the thing that changed the

577
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 2: most for him with this is he's comfortable with throwing

578
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 2: that pitch. Earlier and earlier in counts he was mixing it.

579
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: Oh, oh he's doing one to Oh he was doing it

580
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: oh one. Like he was comfortable throwing it everywhere. He

581
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: was throwing it in the zone. He was getting it,

582
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 2: whiffs on it like. Everything about that pitch was awesome. Yes,

583
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 2: it was really good. He only threw in the zone

584
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: thirty percent of the time, he still got six calls strikes.

585
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 2: It was just he's manipulating that pitch in such a

586
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 2: way right now where it's materially changed him as a picture.

587
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 2: And I think that's something. Who can really hang her

588
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 2: hats on another guy, Cleveland, who is just completely fucking

589
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 2: awesome Tom and I, oh my god, oh my god.

590
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: What this guy has been become recently is it's marvelous.

591
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: Six inning Sean. I mean, ever since ever since you

592
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: uh took a shot at him for not being able

593
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: to get to the sixth inning, He's almost only gone

594
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: past the sixth sitting.

595
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 2: I'm lowing up his game log right now. I want

596
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,479
Speaker 2: to see how many of his last whatever starts he's

597
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 2: gotten into the sixth inning, because up until he did

598
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 2: six inning in the first start of the season, did

599
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 2: he can't do six innings again until May he did

600
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: six innings twice in a row, and then he didn't

601
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: do six innings again until early July. And in July,

602
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 2: every start but two he's got at least six polls

603
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: there it is, And I believe this was the most

604
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 2: swings and missies he's ever had in a start. I'm

605
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 2: double checking it right now. At least Yeah, led the

606
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 2: day in Swings and Missus tweet that fro messed up

607
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 2: one in the morning and you guys love that tweet.

608
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: Everyone woke up with it.

609
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 2: Seven more swings and missus and he's had to start

610
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 2: this see in any singular start this year. Wow, And

611
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 2: it was awesome. A lot of it came from him,

612
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 2: just that two seamer up to everybody and that he's

613
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 2: got that pitch cutting right now, so so damn well

614
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 2: working the sweeper off it. He's he looks the best

615
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: that he's literally ever looked in his entire career. And again,

616
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 2: a lot of credit to the mester for this one.

617
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: This is Jeremy Haffner, big pat on the back because

618
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 2: those those three pitches combined five swings and misses and

619
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 2: the two seamer with six calls strikes eight on the

620
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 2: sweeper in a lineup that didn't have a ton of

621
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 2: lefties and it was pitch that was going down into

622
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 2: the righties, and then eight more swings and misses on

623
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 2: the four seamers just all around had everything going. It

624
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: was a really, really, really such a good start from

625
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 2: Sean and Iah.

626
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: I don't think they actually even had one lefty in

627
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: the entire lineup against Sean Mania.

628
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 2: I think you're right as Kepler pinch hit late. I

629
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 2: think the guy here was a right A lot of

630
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: couple switch out there say so, no, alright you he

631
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 2: dominated dice them up seven in eleven. K's one walk,

632
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 2: two hits. That's just phenomenal. Just just a clap for

633
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 2: Sean and Iah and one hard hit ball, just one

634
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 2: and it was only ninety seven.

635
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: It was barely a hard hit ball.

636
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: I think that was I want to say that was

637
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: Carlson Tana ground ball. No it wasn't, was it Miranda

638
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 2: Miranda lion Drives? No was Remember Oh Willie Castro was

639
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 2: Willie Castro?

640
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: Oh he did smoke that ball? Yeah, he did smoke

641
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: that one.

642
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 2: And then there was a there was a moment this

643
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: game where the Mets were up a little bit late

644
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 2: and scary.

645
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: And standing was on the man.

646
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: Every every Mets fan was collectively holding their breath for

647
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: Ryan Sank to have a good star because if he

648
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: had two blow up stars, Mets career all held with

649
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 2: a broken loose on the internet and like just we

650
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 2: would have killed them. Boom and bood vivaciously in his

651
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 2: next appearance, gets the ground ball to Pete the Lonzo

652
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: I think with one out and start the inning, and

653
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 2: Pete made one of the worst Area has ever seen

654
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: in my life. On the worst he airmailed the ball

655
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: straightlerver for Ryan Sanick's head. Ryan Stang jumped in the air,

656
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: landed on the base, thought he rolled his zankle for

657
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 2: a second. We would just lost our new our new

658
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 2: trade option. Pete was killing himself the whole ending after

659
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 2: standing looked like he wanted to strangle him. Everyone's like,

660
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: you know, I just get something. Be He's gonna hit

661
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: home run, do't don't sweat it. But worked around that.

662
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 2: Edwin got a huge shrek out of Byron Buckston, I

663
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: think his best slider he's thrown all year. And we

664
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: walked out of the start feeling very good about this

665
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 2: Mets team, having put the series in our pockets.

666
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: Yeah to nothing, clean, clean victory. What it feels like

667
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: the must have been getting a ton of shutouts lately

668
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: by the way up to remember.

669
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: Like I think four since like the week pro the

670
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: All Star break.

671
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like they were the last team to

672
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: basically get a shoutout. I think on the season, and

673
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: then since then it feels like they've got to have

674
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: the most shutouts in baseball in terms of pitching, like

675
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: they've been the pitching has been really all over the place.

676
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: But once it's been good, it has been pretty nasty.

677
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was our This was our second shoutout since

678
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,239
Speaker 2: the All Star breaks. We had that one nothing win

679
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 2: against the Marlins as well, but I think that was

680
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 2: only now it was only three on the year. I

681
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: want to say seven nothing us the Nationals.

682
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's three on the year.

683
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 2: So we have three shutouts in our last I think

684
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 2: that's eleven games play, which.

685
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: Is really good. It's great.

686
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 5: Yea.

687
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: I love to hear that from the pitching side.

688
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

689
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 2: And also quick shout with David Festa, Jersey guy had

690
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 2: a lot of friends and family of this game. Pitch well, pitched,

691
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: probably well enough to win, totally good. Sixty eight pitches

692
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: of five innings, just had given up the home runs

693
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 2: of Vientos, and you know it's pitched pretty good.

694
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: Shout out.

695
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 2: Shout of nest Fest to having the family there.

696
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then a quick quick ender of the series.

697
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: Luis Averarno got shelled. Mark Fiento's shouts of Vento's two

698
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: home runs in the.

699
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: Series as well, just awesome, so so good, such a good.

700
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: Ball players sixteen home runs on the year, Mark Beneles

701
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: has a nine to four OPS.

702
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 2: I think that's the most for any third basement in

703
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 2: baseball since he was called up.

704
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm pretty sure since he's called up, i

705
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: think he might have the most f four in the

706
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: National League at third base, which is also pretty impressive.

707
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: That's pretty disgusting.

708
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, quick mention though about Severino that his loss was

709
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 2: pretty down on Wednesday across the board, so would love

710
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 2: to hear something encouraging about that. But he was sitting

711
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: ninety four with that fastball, which is a huge difference

712
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: for him and change up the sly this sweep where

713
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: everything lost for lastly, the Twins weren't missing it at all,

714
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 2: hopefully just slept on funny, but Osco Brownsmont got that

715
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: loaste because there was hardest pitch of the year by

716
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 2: a half a mile an hour.

717
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: So I think it's one.

718
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 2: Of those games hard to sweep a really good team

719
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: like the Twins. Super happy the Mets won this series.

720
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I don't really remember the last year

721
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 2: as they lost. I'm gonna look it up right now

722
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: because it seems like it's been kind of a while.

723
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: I think the last year as they lost was last

724
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: year's The mess loss.

725
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: Was the Astra series. Oh that's a while. That was

726
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: in June. Good for the bets. We spent the entire

727
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: month of July that series. Hell yeah, let's go Mets, baby,

728
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: all right, I love to hear that, and also shout out.

729
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: Francis Guaverrez did something interesting in this game. It doesn't

730
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: matter got lost in the sauce. But Max Kepler struck

731
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: out on a pitch and I've I've always complained about

732
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: this as catchers don't know the rules about players, like

733
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: when they throw down to third or when they do this,

734
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: or if they if you throw into a batter and

735
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: he's out of the batter's box at all, the batter

736
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: or the runners automatically out, doesn't matter what it was,

737
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 1: and Alvarez went to backpick. I believe Austin Martin on

738
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: second base would have never had him had no shot

739
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: in the world. But Kepler fell over onto home plate

740
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,959
Speaker 1: after he struck out on the pitch. Alvarez hit him

741
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: in the back of the helmet, Austin Martin called out

742
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: double play, trek him out, throw him out, And that's

743
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: just like one of those rules that a lot of

744
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: people don't know in baseball, and I know just from

745
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: catching because I love doing all that like cheap, little

746
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: like bullshit to get away and sneak anything that you could.

747
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: So I was happy to see Francis Gualverrez and I

748
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: was like, yes, someone in Major League Baseball has done

749
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: this because so many hitters, especially even when they steal third,

750
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: a lot of hitters step out. If the guy steps out,

751
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: throw it into his back, automatic, automatically out at third.

752
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: There's nothing they can do. That's the rules. I love.

753
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: Also, Alvarez, who has been struggling with the bad have

754
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 2: missed a couple of games this series with with Mendoza

755
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: set a shoulder issue. I don't think he used word

756
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: injury on purpose, but nice to see him doing anything

757
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 2: again and help the team as he always does because

758
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 2: he's just a fantastic baseball player and a true born leader.

759
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: And shout Jeff McNeil. Great series from Jeff McNeil.

760
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: Lots of hits, looks, looks just very back and helps.

761
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: It's it's it's beautiful things. We told you, guys, this

762
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 2: is gonna happen in baseball season. Lindor has been a

763
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: little colder now in the last two series. Nim has

764
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: been cold for about three weeks now. Jada Martinez has

765
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: been very cold for about three weeks a month now. Yeah, Alonso, no,

766

Speaker 2: but lots of lots of another good series, The Pete

00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: Mets a round pick, right handed pitcher out of the

776
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: University of Oklahoma, Ryan Lambert, Ryan, thank you so much

777
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: for joining us. Man. How you doing I'm doing great?

778
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 3: How are you doing well? Man?

779
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: How's it looks like you're down in Florida? Is that

780
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: where the Met's got you right now?

781
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 5: That's where they got us? Yep, Florida. Saint Lucy actually beautiful.

782
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Saint Lucy's is a heck of a town mark.

783
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 2: I spent some time there too, great with the Mets stuff.

784
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: But for Mess fans out there that might not know,

785
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 2: Ryan was our eighth round pick this year out of

786
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 2: the University of Oklahoma, and Ryan's best calling card is

787
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 2: that he can throw the baseball really, really, really hard.

788
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: So Ryan, first question very basic. What does it feel

789
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 2: like to throw a baseball one hundred and two miles

790
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 2: an hour?

791
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 5: Honestly, it feels like water, I guess I gotta explain it.

792
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 5: I'd say it like that, like everything is self fluid,

793
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 5: Like there's no tension in the throw, you know, because

794
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 5: if you're throwing it that hard, like your body's got

795
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 5: to be moving the most efficient as possible. So like

796
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 5: it just feels stricking incredible to be honest.

797
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta imagine throws got feel pretty good. And

798
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: this is something that I don't want to say is

799
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: relatively new to you. But your like journey through baseball

800
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: and now getting drafted by the New York Mets, it

801
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: was a little bit different than most you started off.

802
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: I mean you went to three different colleges Northern Iowa

803
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: area Community college in Missouri State and the University of Oklahoma,

804
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: and even saw on your Twitter that you were a

805
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: big like you used the flat ground app. You were

806
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: using Twitter as a way to get more looks. And

807
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: I think at one point you were at ninety two

808
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: and you got to one oh two. How did you

809
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: make that jump, because obviously that seems to be quite

810
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: a difference.

811
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it was.

812
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 5: It was a big jump, for sure, and it really

813
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 5: happened kind of gradually over the years. But I'd say

814
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 5: I really got the feel for throwing hard at my

815
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 5: junior college. I had a really good pitching coach and

816
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 5: he was big on like the early drive line stuff.

817
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 5: Like we did a bunch of non traditional types of training,

818
00:31:54,320 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 5: and like we were doing good cliou drills. The janitor throw,

819
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 5: I will say the janitor throw is the main drill.

820
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 3: That got me to throw hard.

821
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 5: If I would recommend to drill to someone to throw

822
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 5: harder would be the janitor throw.

823
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 4: Well, what is the janitor's It's where you you're on

824
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 4: the mound and you coil your front leg kind of

825
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 4: back towards your back leg, so you're literally like coiling

826
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 4: up like that, and then you kind of just drift

827
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 4: towards the mount and just stricken explode.

828
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 3: Out of that position and throw it. It's a it's

829
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 3: a cool drill.

830
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: Wow, I ever heard that? That's amazing? Is that them?

831
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 2: What else did you do? You think that got you

832
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,239
Speaker 2: over that home? Because gaining seven eight nine miles an

833
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 2: hour over a two year stretch is unreal? Like what

834
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 2: else happened on your path there to give you that velocity?

835
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 5: Yeah? Another thing that helped me a lot was always

836
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 5: trying to throw hard. I would say I probably sacrificed

837
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 5: some of my locations throw hard, but now that I'm

838
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 5: piecing it all together, I think it was all worth it.

839
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 5: But it was just constantly telling yourself, like, you got

840
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 5: to throw this as hard as you can. And like,

841
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 5: growing up, my dad was a he was a big baseball.

842
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 3: Guy and he he kind of.

843
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 5: Helped me with pitching and stuff, and he always told

844
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 5: me throw the ball as hard as you freaking can.

845
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 3: So like that's definitely the biggest, biggest piece.

846
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: I'd say, yeah, I mean it seems to be working

847
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: for you. Like you said, like you went to three

848
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: different colleges, You've now been drafted. Did you think when

849
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: the journey started that this was going to end up

850
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: being where you go like you're gonna be drafted or

851
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: were you like I hope one day we are. Do

852
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: you always know?

853
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 3: I always knew.

854
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 5: I just I feel like I just always had that

855
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 5: confidence that this would be like the outcome that would

856
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 5: come for my baseball career.

857
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 3: So I always knew.

858
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 2: With always knowing. Did you ever have any affinity for

859
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 2: the Mets? Have you ever been to New York at all?

860
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 5: I have not, no, and I'm I'm not necessarily I

861
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 5: wasn't a big Mets fan before this, but I am now.

862
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 5: I think New York is gonna be cool and I go,

863
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 5: but I yet to go to New York.

864
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: That's fair, that's fair. You did get to pitch in

865
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: the MLB Draft League, which is something that they've added

866
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: into the prospect building recently, and you broke the record

867
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: for the fastest fastball thrown at one hundred point seven

868
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: miles an hour, and you actually then broke your own record,

869
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: which is pretty crazy. Do you think that MLB Draft

870
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: League helped get you noticed a little bit more than

871
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: you were in previously throughout college?

872
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd say I'd say it definitely helped a lot.

873
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 5: I mean, we had a lot of good players on

874
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 5: that team and a lot of scouts would come watch.

875
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 3: So for our shortstop, we had a good shortstop, Dalton Wentz.

876
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 3: He was a high prospect. He was a high schooler.

877
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 3: So if he's.

878
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 5: Playing, you know, like scouts are there, it's just good

879
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 5: exposure for other players. And you know, you just hit

880
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 5: that spotlight with all the all the scouts and you

881
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 5: just go do your thing.

882
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, it definitely helped.

883
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 2: How was the jump for you to go from your

884
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 2: junior college, like you said before, to closing games for

885
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 2: Oklahoma in the Big Twelve, like on a.

886
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: Path towards the College Baseball World Series.

887
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It's definitely a huge jump, and it was.

888
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 5: It was more of a mental jump, honestly, Like being

889
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 5: being mentally tough in those situations is really like the strength.

890
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 5: I feel like pictures need to have something they preach

891
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 5: at OU. That helped me a lot was just being fearless,

892
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 5: Like having that fearless mindset, like I don't care who's

893
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 5: in the box, I don't care what names on that jersey,

894
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,479
Speaker 5: Like you just gotta go and do your thing like that.

895
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 5: That was the mental jump was the biggest and that

896
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 5: definitely took some time to develop.

897
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: What about in terms of prep, we know that pictures

898
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: are very very they they have their their routines, they

899
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: stick to them. Some guys don't throw a lot. Some

900
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: guys like to throw a lot. What's your routine before

901
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: you come into close a game?

902
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 5: My routine, I do one set of bands, hop on

903
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 5: the mound. I'm freaking ready. I keep it sweet, I'm simple.

904
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: You know, are you out there trying what you go?

905
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, I mean you gotta be you

906
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 5: gotta be like kind of fast, like you know your

907
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 5: guy gets into some trouble. I mean you don't have

908
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 5: time to do it full band routine, plowballs, stretching like.

909
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 3: You gotta be ready to go. Basically, that's how I

910
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 3: do it.

911
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of closers work on like

912
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 2: this range between being like super jacked up and super zen.

913
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: Where do you think you fall in that range before

914
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 1: you come into a game.

915
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm more on the zen side for sure. I'm

916
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 3: big on that zen. Yeah, yeah, there is.

917
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 5: For for ou. It was from Florida with Love by Drake.

918
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: Okay, that's pretty.

919
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 3: Sad chill it is, isn't it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

920
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: The reason we got you on here is I know

921
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: your agent, Michael, and he told me specifically, I got

922
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: to ask you about how many eggs does it take

923
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: someone to drink in order to throw one hundred miles

924
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: an hour? I hear there's a story behind this.

925
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, pretty crazy, but I'd say it's thirty eggs a

926
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 5: day for a month straight.

927
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 3: You do that, you're throwing a.

928
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 2: Hundred thirty eggs, imply, Oh, that's one hundred thirty eggs.

929
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 2: And janitors, janitors, jan How would you make the eggs?

930
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 3: That is the key. Oh I didn't make them.

931
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 5: I cracked them. I'd put like ten in a cup

932
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 5: at a time. Ten for breakfast, I drink that, come

933

Speaker 3: That'd be too much, that would be oh well, I

939
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 3: mean you got to eat them, and drinking them is

940
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 3: just way quicker. Dude.

941
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,880

Speaker 3: every two days. It was nuts. Mark.

945
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: When you used be roommates, Remember I used to get

956
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: we're making with you.

957
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 3: Yes, you better hold up to that deal, dude.

958
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: Not even a question. I'll prepare my stomach that week.

959
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm in.

960
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I love it.

961
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: We talked a lot about fastballs.

962
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 2: Tell us about your breaking balls, what you have working

963
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,919
Speaker 2: with your repertoire, and how you might have developed them.

964
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

965
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 5: So I got a traditional slider, and then I also

966
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 5: have a cutter, and the cutter didn't come until I

967
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 5: got to owe you and skipping. Another player taught it

968
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 5: to me, and this was like, this was like a

969
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 5: week out before the season and they showed me this grip.

970
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 5: I actually cut my fastball too, So like they're thinking

971
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 5: this cutters being perfect for me, may show me this grip.

972
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 5: I throw it and catch it's money, And next thing

973
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 5: you know, I'm in the bottom ninth playing Tennessee. Two

974
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 5: guys on one out and I throw all cricking cutters. Dude,

975
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 5: I threw like thirty six pitches, Like thirty five of

976
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 5: them were cutters. I mean that pitch was it was

977
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 5: very helpful. But like I'd say, the slider, I developed

978
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 5: that at junior college. We did like pitching design and stuff,

979
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 5: but like right now, it's mainly just that fastball and

980
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 5: cutter at that one two punch is working pretty well

981
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 5: for me.

982
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: The Mets Pitching Lab has gotten a lot of hype

983
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: around baseball. As a guy who's now going to be

984
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,479
Speaker 1: a part of it. Is this something that you knew

985
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,080

Speaker 5: like sixty cameras, like I tech cameras all around the mound.

994
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 5: There's force plates in it. It's like next level stuff.

995
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 5: You can go back five years and see like the

996
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 5: skeleton of like Max Sures or something. You can see

997
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 5: that of him pitching and his mechanics and like the

998
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 5: amount of forces putting into like his pitches, and it's

999
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 5: it's a really incredible tool that they use and I'm

1000
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 5: excited to be part of it.

1012
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 2: pitchers come through fast these last few years and just

1013
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 2: look so good, changing all their pitches in the process.

1014
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 1: So it was just excited for you.

1015
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,880

Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm excited as well.

1018
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 1: Do there is there any plan to stretch you out

1019
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: a little bit? Or is the plan to keep you

1020
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 1: in that relief role right now?

1021
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 5: I think as of right now, we're looking at staying

1022
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 5: that relief role, But you never know. I mean, if

1023
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 5: I keep adding, if I get that splinker and butter

1024
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 5: slider basketball, like, that'd be a pretty good starting.

1025
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 3: Arsenal I'd say, I don't know.

1026
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 5: Maybe there's a shot I start in the future, but

1027
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 5: right now, i'd say discloser.

1028
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: When was the last time that you started consistently?

1029
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 5: And that was Like I started games in high school

1030
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 5: sophomore year. I was on the varsity team, and I

1031
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 5: kind of played a reliever role I was younger. I

1032
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 5: started like one or two games. I mainly I always

1033
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 5: started when I was younger, though, Like growing up as

1034
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 5: a kid, I was always the starter.

1035
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I was, I was the age basically, you

1036
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 3: know what I mean.

1037
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes sense. I mean I got drafted so

1038
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: I had a pretty good feeling that you were decent

1039
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: as a kid for sure.

1040
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1041

1047
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,279

1048
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,760
Speaker 3: No, the New York Mets, of course, like that on Fire.

1049
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: This is larous. This is like a big part of

1050
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: New York lore. And this is like one of your

1051
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: favorite movies. And you say you've never been there. That's

1052
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: so that's funny as funny as hell.

1053
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 3: I know it's it's shocking. But yeah, Mark, more.

1057
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 2: We were like, Okay, we can't find anything. So I

1058
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: texted one of my friend who's a big movie guy.

1059
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 2: I know he loves American Psycho. He was like asking

1060
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 2: the color that business cards were. I was like, what

1061
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 2: color were they? He's like, oh, I don't remember, do

Speaker 3: know what is it.

1071
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: That's a good question. Hold on, let me pull it

1072
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: back up. It's really good tribute. And two guys have

1073
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: never seen the movie, you know, we're really Uh it

1074
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,280

00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

1076

1080
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 5: you guys need to watch it first.

1081

1083
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,360

00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 5: is it's both funny and it's like there's got some

1085
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 5: thriller to it. I don't know, it's just it's just

1086
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 5: an interesting movie, a very very interesting movie.

1087
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: I think keep it off the field as well. When

1088
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: you're not watching American Psycho or drinking thirty eggs a day,

1089
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 1: what do you do. What do you do to relax

1090
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: when you're not throwing one hundred and two miles an

1091
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: hour on the mountain.

1092
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love to go on nature walks. I'm a

1093
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 5: big nature guy.

1094
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. I got introduced to the grounding. Yeah.

1095
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,240
Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys are familiar with grounding

1096
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 5: walking around in grats and stuff like that.

1097
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:47,439
Speaker 3: I don't know. I've yeah exactly. I like to do that.

1098
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 3: I like to go to the gym and do.

1099
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 5: Like I'll do some yoga sometimes, Like I just that's

1100
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 5: like peaceful for me.

1101
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 3: Like I like doing stuff like that.

1102
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: It's amazing about it. I'm pretty guy, the guy that throws.

1103
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 2: One hundred two miles an hours as zen as you are.

1104
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 2: It's I'm shocked right now. This is this is actually

1105
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 2: really cool. Especially growing up Minnesota. I'm sure you had

1106
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 2: a lot of opportunities to spend time in nature, especially

1107
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 2: in summers whenever you weren't playing baseball.

1108
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1109
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 5: No, summers there are nice. They're definitely not like summer's

1110
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 5: over here in Florida. It's freaking humid as hell. It's crazy.

1111
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: You're you're close to the swamp right there. It's definitely

1112
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: a little bit hotter in Florida than what you're used

1113
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: to in Minnesota. I think a few more questions here

1114
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: before we let you go. We don't want to keep

1115
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,760
Speaker 1: you for too long. Oklahoma Guy Metster shrafted Carson Bench

1116
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: first round from Oklahoma State. Do you ever get to

1117
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: face them?

1118
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 3: I don't think I did. I did face.

1119
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 5: I can't remember who it was, but I did pitch

1120
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 5: against Oklahoma State in the conference championship in the ninth inning.

1121
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 3: But I don't think I faced him. I wish I did, though.

1122
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 2: Do you hold these rivalries even being a Sooner just

1123
00:45:58,640 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 2: for one year?

1124
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 3: I'd be lying if I said I did, but so

1125
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 3: not really. Yeah, I'm just dude. I just go do

1126
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 3: my thing, you know what I mean.

1127
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: Just goes out there, drinks thirty eggs, throw one hundred

1128
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: and two miles an hour, throw a little cutter in there,

1129
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 1: and dominate. Ryan. Dude, Thank you so much for coming on.

1130
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Uh, tell all the Mets fans that

Speaker 1: are listening to this, where can they support you? Where

00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 1: can they follow you? All that stuff? Go ahead and

1133
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: give yourself a little plug.

1134
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, my instagram is underscore Ryan Lambert, and then that's

1135
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 5: my main social.

1136
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: Awesome, dude, thank you so much for coming on. We

1137
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: can't wait to see how you pitch throughout your Mets

1138
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: career and hopefully one day we get to drink those

1139
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: six eggs with the US Field making your debut.

1140
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 3: You will wait.

1141
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: Awesome. Thank you so much, bad and good luck this season.

1142
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 3: Thank you, thanks for having me.

1143
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Lambert was great. Love Lambert. I mean

1144
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: it seems like, seems like he's a dude, and I

1145
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 1: take him forward that when he makes his debut at Cityfield,

1146
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna be drinking with him. No, totally.

1147
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 2: I've actually been thinking about the logistics of sneaking eggs

1148
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 2: in the City Field recently because I'm I'm so completely

1149
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 2: confident after talking to him he's going to be a

1150
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 2: major leaguer. The fact that he says he's gonna be

1151
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 2: throwing a splinker and he sits one hundred. Yeah, it's

1152
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 2: like I'm I had just seeing his mentality, seeing how

1153
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 2: fucking Zenny is, which killed me.

1154
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: That made me laugh so damn hard. But he might

1155
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: have been the reason why they trade Paul Gervais. They're like,

1156
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: you got this guy's throwing a hundred.

1157
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 2: It's ready to go. Yeah, but yeah, I hope you

1158
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 2: guys like the interview. I hope we could do more

1159
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 2: things like that. But Lambert seems like he's gonna be

1160
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 2: a friend of the pod. He was super excited. We

1161
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 2: were super excited, just all around amazing to talk to

1162
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 2: a guy like that.

1163
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: He was hilarious. Yes, and shout out his agent, Michael

1164
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 1: Zimmerman for helping let's get that together. So shout Michael,

1165
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,439
Speaker 1: shoutut Ryan Nicklert can't wait to see how he does

1166
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 1: on his journey to getting to the major leagues. We

1167
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: do have drink eggs. Yes, can't wait to drink eggs.

1168
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: We have a serious preview coming up against the Los

1169
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: Angeles Angels, a team that we see once a year,

1170
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: and this team is bad. No, there's no way around it.

1171
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: The only thing that's cool about the Angels is that

1172
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: Ron Washington is elite vibes but also maybe one of

1173
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 1: the worst man baseball.

1174
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Angels. The Angels actually swept the Mariners a

1175
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 2: week ago and then proceeded to lose three in a

1176
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 2: row to the Athletics, so they just that's that's a

1177
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 2: lot about the Angels.

1178
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: The Angels.

1179
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,439
Speaker 2: Also, it's a it's a shame. The Angels also before

1180
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 2: that took three or four from the Marriners. So the

1181
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 2: Angels just went six and one against the Mariner What

1182
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 2: the shame about the Angels that when I looked at

1183
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 2: the series on the schedule like a few months ago,

1184
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, cool, the Angels are certainly

1185
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 2: going to sell the trade deadline and we're going to

1186
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 2: get basically a minor league team against them. Much to

1187
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 2: my chagrin, the Angels did not really sell the deadline

1188
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 2: at all. The only thing they sold were two relief pitchers,

1189
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 2: and both of those guys weren't even their best reliever

1190
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 2: because that's Ben Joyce. And they kept Taylor Ward, they

1191
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 2: kept Brandon Drewy, they kept Louise Renifo, they kept everyone

1192
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 2: they could possibly keep, and uh, they're They're the same

1193
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 2: team as they were going at Tyler Anderson, the same

1194
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 2: teams that were going into the trade deadline. So fuck me,

1195
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 2: I guess, but we're going to get this Angels team

1196
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 2: at nearly full strength. Not that that's good or scary,

1197
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 2: but yeah, more more of a baseball team than they

1198
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 2: if they will trade even one of those guys I

1199
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 2: just mentioned, who's pitching for them against us. Do we

1200
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 2: even have a clue? Oh yeah, well fry they ace off.

1201
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 2: Everyone ready for the much anticipated Paul Blackburn's debut versus

1202
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 2: my favorite lefty, Tyler Anderson, who's for sure going to

1203
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 2: shut us out. And then Saturday another game. Game times

1204
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 2: this series Friday and Saturday, nine thirty eight pm.

1205
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: Interesting, very interesting.

1206
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 2: So that's gonna be David Peterson versus Jose Soriano. Soriano's

1207
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 2: pretty fun, has some stuff. We'll talk about him a

1208
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 2: little bit. And Sunday, Mattine four oh seven another ace off,

1209
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 2: host A Katana versus Griffin Canning.

1210
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, these are pictures that the Angels have.

1211
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 2: For sure, Soriano is fun. You know, don't tell me

1212
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 2: Sorriana is not fun. I'm not gonna tell you he's

1213
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 2: not fun.

1214
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 1: I just you know, see, Angels they have some of

1215
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: the worst player development ever, which is crazy because they

1216
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: developed maybe the greatest player ever, two greatest players ever

1217
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: in Mike Trouton Shovotani, but everybody else they've done nothing with.

1218
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 2: No So Soriano, there's some good player development happening here.

1219
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 2: He's not been as good over the last like three

1220
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 2: four weeks that he was over the first two months

1221
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 2: of this season. But he throws a ninety eight mile

1222
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 2: hour singer that moves a lot, and he has really

1223
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 2: good knuckle gerve. On top of that mix is a

1224
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 2: four seam that also is around ninety eight and a

1225
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 2: splither and a slider. He'll show them Slyther. He's no

1226
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 2: command dot, but splither. I think it's something that's coming

1227
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 2: off for him. I'll say this, this might sound crazy,

1228
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 2: as as a righty, he's not that far off with

1229
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 2: Christopher Sanchez is I'll say that truthfully. If fused with

1230
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 2: a smarter team, I think he could basically be similar

1231
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 2: to Christopher Sanchez. Like the stuff is that good, and

1232
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 2: I think he's a he's a reliever convert, so still

1233
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 2: learning how to pitch. But I'm a sucker if that's

1234
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 2: sixty percent groundball, right, don't know why he only has

1235
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 2: twenty percent strike out right. I think it's just again

1236
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 2: that might be part of the Angels being stupid and

1237
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 2: being like to pitch to contact. Yeah, but he's a

1238
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 2: he's a very fun pitcher. You guys will see his

1239
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 2: stuff and be like, damn, we also might hit him,

1240
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 2: so that's cool. Griffin Canning. I don't know why it's

1241
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 2: never worked. Might also just be have to do with

1242
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 2: the Angels, like the curveball is still awesome. But whatever,

1243
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,720
Speaker 2: So just go into the series, roads series hard to sweep.

1244
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,919
Speaker 1: Go win some baseball games. Yeah, go in some baseball games.

1245
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna see old old pal Luiski Yormey.

1246
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1247
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: Now with the Angels. Ron Washington famously threw him under

1248
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 1: the bus this year when he called for a suicide

1249
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: squeeze and then gior May didn't get a pitch down

1250
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: that was thirty five feet above his head. That's that's

1251
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: always fun. This is also uh the almost like Foster's

1252
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: Home for imaginary friends, like Foster's Home for former top prospects.

1253
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: Mickey Moniac plays there, Joe Adell, Willie Calhoun. At one

1254
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: point they had uh Keston Hurro was playing there every day.

1255
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 2: He'll say, I'll say you'll hate this, jo Adell. Joidell's

1256
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 2: turning that corner. I think Joydell's becoming a good ballplayer.

1257
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: Have you looked at his numbers?

1258
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 2: I fucked the numbers. I'm telling you you can't say

1259
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 2: that a good player. His swing decisions are a lot better.

1260
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 2: It hasn't come out in his batting average. I know

1261
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 2: you're a big batting thirty five, and he always will.

1262
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 2: But if that can't, Ray gets that. He still hits

1263
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 2: the ball stupidly hard. He had another home run yesterday.

1264
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,879
Speaker 2: I think the ops is still really low. But he's

1265
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 2: American Frenchy Cordero.

1266
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: I think he'll be better.

1267
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 2: Than Frenchie Cordero's better than Franchie Cordero.

1268
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: He's he's bad, which means he's gonna hit a big

1269
00:51:56,760 --> 00:52:00,720
Speaker 1: home run for sure, but like he's definitely not very good. Willie.

1270
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I think he's the chance to

1271
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 2: be quite a good baseball player.

1272
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: I really that's a crazy, crazy take. I think he

1273
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,240
Speaker 1: has a chance to be a major league baseball player.

1274
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: That kind of seems where it's.

1275
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 2: At, Okay, I think falls somewhere in between the we're

1276
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 2: both right.

1277
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, they we're both right. Nolan Shanuel, their first round

1278
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 1: pick from last year. Uh actually hitting some home runs,

1279
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: which is kind of surprising. But he's pretty good. He's

1280
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: kind of boring, but he's decent. He's a major league

1281
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 1: baseball player. Logan O. Hoppy's probably their best player, right,

1282
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,359
Speaker 1: I would say on the offensive side. I think Nedo's good.

1283
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 1: I'm a Zach Nell believer as well. I mean, I

1284
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: liked Netto coming out of the draft, but ever since

1285
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: I've seen Trevor May talk about how if you just

1286
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 1: change up your time just a little bit, he has

1287
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,799
Speaker 1: no idea what to do break him. I was like,

1288
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 1: why why isn't everybody doing this?

1289
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 2: And it's gonna be funny for Paul Blackman to face

1290
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 2: face them because he's definitely facing this year.

1291
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: Oh definitely, yeah, definitely have those old friend Kevin Pollars

1292
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 1: plus on the year he's crushed.

1293
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 2: That's another one. And Taylor Wards also, he's pretty good.

1294
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 2: He has he's been he's been slow recently, but he's

1295
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 2: pretty good. And you guys got to see Ben Joyce,

1296
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 2: who throws one hundred two miles an hour. There was

1297
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 2: one hundred and five. He threw a pitch one hundred

1298
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 2: and five the other day, which is he has the

1299
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 2: fastest pitch in the history of division on college baseball.

1300
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 1: It does. It's not even fathomable to throw a pitch

1301
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: one hundred and five miles an hour. I don't know

1302
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: what that even, like I've seen ninety five. I can't

1303
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,479
Speaker 1: even imagine ten miles an hour faster that that doesn't

1304
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: even make sense.

1305
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 2: Do you think he would say it feels like wa,

1306
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 2: They're like Ryan Lambert said.

1307
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: No shot, no shot. Pick Ben Joyce and Ryan Lambert,

1308
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: while they're both guys who throw one hundred miles an hour.

1309
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 2: I think the mindset might be very different on those two. Yeah,

1310
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 2: I can see that, But again, this team is more

1311
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 2: stupid than good by a lot. These are more. Surely

1312
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 2: he's pitching well right now. Of course, Matt More everyone

1313
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:36,800
Speaker 2: we needed Matt More in the offseason. Remember Hunter Strickland

1314
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 2: too tried to fight Price Harper.

1315
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: I do remember Hunter strickl Oh Carson formers on this team,

1316
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: Rowansei Contrares. Oh my god, That's what I'm saying. They are.

1317
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 2: They are the right now. The Seniors isn't home for

1318
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:45,720
Speaker 2: former top prospects.

1319
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: This is this is a team. And Mere Garrett was

1320
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: on this team.

1321
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 6: Wow.

1322
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 2: This team plays. This team plays baseball. Last thing I'll

1323
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 2: say about them.

1324
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 1: My favorite story is they played Cole Tucker for twenty

1325
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 1: four games this year and Cole Tucker on record said

1326
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: I thought I was going to be quitting baseball and

1327
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: coaching in the minor for the Mariners. But the Angels

1328
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: reached out to me and I said, yeah, sure, why not,

1329
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:03,439
Speaker 1: let's run it back.

1330
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,800
Speaker 2: And then he made to the major league level. That's crazy,

1331
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 2: shall the cold Tucker? I could I couldn't even believe what.

1332
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: Would happen in my life? I got dump by Vanessa Hudgins.

1333
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: Did he get dump by Vanessa Hudgins?

1334
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 2: Like, maybe that's fake news. I thought he got dumpy

1335
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 2: Vanessa Hudgins.

1336
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 1: No, that's true love if I've ever seen it. Vanessa

1337
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: HUDs Hudgens wife.

1338
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 2: No, so cold Tucker, all right, stop, all right, I

1339
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:27,280
Speaker 2: take it back, Cole Tucker. Is they were opened their first.

1340
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: Child together like three weeks ago.

1341
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 2: I must have made it up, hope. I wu wasn't

1342
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 2: try to be really hopeful. Maybe that was like a

1343
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 2: intrusive thought. You had a dream that she like left

1344
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 2: him and now she was available. That's what it was,

1345
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 2: you know, Me, me and Vanessa Hudges just welcome to

1346
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 2: our first child in my dreams too a few weeks

1347
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 2: ago as well.

1348
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: Yes, but I love Vanessa Hudgins.

1349
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 2: Now digress whatever, it's this Angels team, Let's beat them, Okay, let's.

1350
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 1: Move on to a part where we have got some

1351
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 1: voicemails voice memos. I'm gonna let you play it into

1352
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: the mic. I think James for this one, okay, and uh,

1353
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,399
Speaker 1: we'll respond. I don't. We didn't get as many because

1354
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: we didn't realize how difficult real those stages because I

1355
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 1: don't know. Someone sent me one. I was like, I

1356
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 1: didn't even know you could do that. Must be pretty easy.

1357
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 1: Turns out very difficult. So we'll find a way to

1358
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,720
Speaker 1: do this better for the future. But we got a couple,

1359
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: so let's play them.

1360
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 2: I have four in my in the inbox right now,

1361
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 2: all right, hit us with the first first one. We'll

1362
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 2: give the childer girl bella first first voice message. We're

1363
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 2: playing out in the formal segment for messed up, Well.

1364
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 7: I'm asking about the trade the vine. He turned with

1365
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 7: a really great job.

1366
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, where you got what happened?

1367
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 6: Beautiful rotation of the winger. But I wish he had

1368
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 6: bought another shielding because Marty's was to come back. He said,

1369
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 6: reliability defensively, and I'm like hitting, his hitting isn't consistent

1370
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 6: like two when it came back from the three that

1371
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 6: he just wasn't good.

1372
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 7: So I was I was selfishly Mark.

1373
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 6: Canton, you know that's boy.

1374
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 3: I missed him.

1375
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 6: He's us, Like did she went to the Giants, which

1376
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 6: was us because she's in the outfield that was competent

1377
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 6: defensively and could hit.

1378
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:08,959
Speaker 2: So yeah, shout out Bella.

1379
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: Gotta be our number one female fan.

1380
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:13,919
Speaker 2: Gotta be can I don't even think it's probably close

1381
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 2: with you, but I think she's Yeah, she's She's definitely

1382
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 2: up there.

1383
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: Bell is the best. But I do agree with her.

1384
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 2: I thought the Mets probably could have gotten out a

1385
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,399
Speaker 2: slightly better defensive outfield the deadline, but I just think

1386
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 2: that they David Stearns, I don't think he likes this because,

1387
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 2: like I have too much money tied up the starring

1388
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 2: Marte next season as well to really make a meaningful

1389
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 2: trade there. Like Ben gam Will still in the roster,

1390
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 2: but I think they're assuming Marte comes back by September.

1391
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 2: Then September Ben Gambill can go back down and then

1392
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 2: you have your You have the best outfield depth then

1393
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 2: with Winker and Tyrone Taylor the Mets have had in years.

1394
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: So I guess I think that was just the logic. Yeah,

1395
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: and sadly Winker might play over Marte anyway, like just

1396
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: with the lefty righting matchup too, like he might just

1397
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 1: play Winker a lot more and Marte probably still won't

1398
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: be able to play every day. So of course by

1399
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 1: Worthy and Wickers also a bad fielder and his same

1400
00:56:58,360 --> 00:56:58,760
Speaker 1: as Marte.

1401
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 2: Badfielder, great arm better platoons.

1402
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: Blitz definitely, but shout out to Bella for that. We

1403
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 1: got another voice voice memo here, James, what's another one

1404
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: we got?

1405
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got a few more here, big one.

1406
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: This is.

1407
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 2: This is from a smart friend, Connor. I hope it's clean,

1408
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 2: not clean. We'll just cut this one.

1409
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's a very good chance it won't be clean.

1410
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 2: But clean clean clean could be variable. We'll see what

1411
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:19,919
Speaker 2: Connor's got for us here.

1412
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 8: So Jason Worth went to a part of my take

1413
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 8: this week, really just dumped all over the Mets, took.

1414
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 7: A federal shit all over them.

1415
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 8: He played for the Phillies and Nationals obviously famously, and

1416
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,479
Speaker 8: the Mets for a very long time, so I can't

1417
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 8: really blame him. Matts should have someone in the locker

1418
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 8: room that listens to this podcast. It's super popular. Needs

1419
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 8: to be boltimboard material, just like the Salakata tweet for

1420
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty two. And I also still can't believe

1421
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 8: Salakota fucking did that.

1422
00:57:59,600 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 9: I know you.

1423
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 3: I want to do more on that by.

1424
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 8: Fuck him seven ways to Sunday and twice on Sunday. Actually,

1425
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 8: let's fucking go Mets.

1426
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: A great voice. Yeah, ok uh, yeah, I super agree

1427
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: with him. I agree, But I also think when Salakota

1428
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: did that to the Braves, that was a low point

1429
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: in the season. So for the Mets right now, the

1430
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: vibes are pretty good, and they did show like Seann

1431
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: and I going through and doing like handshakes with literally

1432
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: which was awesome. That was phenomenal. Love Sean and I

1433
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: and the vibes. That's not a I think when the

1434
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 1: vibes are good, you don't need bulletin board material. I

1435
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: think when you need a little a little pep in

1436
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: your step, a little motivation, that's what happens. So I

1437
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: think that's probably why they wouldn't care.

1438
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 2: I also don't think this Mets team is a bulletin

1439
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 2: board material team.

1440
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: I don't think so either.

1441
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 2: I don't think this is a team that will respond

1442
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 2: to that. I agree with though he should have been,

1443
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 2: but that was also Jason Worth took a lot of

1444
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 2: shots at that era of the Mets, also a lot

1445
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 2: of shots the Mets in general. Says the Mets still

1446
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,479
Speaker 2: do things like that, but I think this Mets team

1447
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 2: knows they do things like that, like have the Theatrics

1448
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 2: have everything to do and I don't think they hate that.

1449
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 2: But if this was a current Philly I would really

1450
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 2: agree with this.

1451
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: Be like kind of like Garrick Stubbs, how last year

1452
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: when they missed the NLCS, he brought up the Mets

1453
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: and You're like, that's weird, like you're not playing the Mets,

1454
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: and then the Diamondback smoked them, so like, I don't know,

1455
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: it's kind of that was kind of a weird comment. Yeah.

1456
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: I listened to that Worth interview as well.

1457
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 2: I think I brought me I brought up in the

1458
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 2: podcast a few episodes ago, but basically just saying like

1459
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 2: it really hurt a lot this that really killed eleven,

1460
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 2: twelve thirteen year old James to relive those memories and

1461
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 2: hear about how confident the Phillies were it they were

1462
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 2: going to catch the Mets every one of those years.

1463
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 1: That sucked.

1464
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 2: And uh Worth also just kind of seems like he's

1465
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 2: becoming one of those you know, baseball was better in

1466
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 2: my day, kind of Aubrey Huff Yeah, just a genuine

1467
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 2: bit of an asshole. Not fully Aubreyhuff level, but like

1468
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 2: a bad person. Yeah yeah, definitely Aubrey Huff is a

1469
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 2: is a horrible, horrible human. Yeah yeah, miserable parent human.

1470
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 2: Jason Worrish just seems like kind of a dick. Yes,

1471
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 2: which again that's fine, Like I like, like, asshole should

1472
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 2: be playing baseball. It's four for assholes, but it would

1473
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 2: I don't think that anything warm my heart more. I

1474
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 2: don't think it's super possible. By stranger things have happened.

1475
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 2: That's eight back in the division.

1476
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Why not? They were seventeen back like a month ago.

1477
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 2: So I had what I'm saying, this Phillies team isn't

1478
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 2: playing their best right now. And I just said, I

1479
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 2: think they had a relatively underwhelming deadline for how I

1480
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 2: think a team with the most wins in baseball showed

1481
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 2: that act to the trade deadline. So I'm with Connor.

1482
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 2: We we've we've misseddirected a lot of our hate recently.

1483
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: Yes, fuck the Phillies. Fuck the Phillies. Yeah, we focus

1484
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: on the Phillies and the Braves, fuck them both, hate

1485
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: them all, yea each shit? All right? We have any

1486
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: more voicemails? Or is it time to read out these reviews?

1487
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 2: Got two more if you're willing to do two more? Yeah,

1488
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:27,959
Speaker 2: give us, give us, give us two more.

1489
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: Got boy?

1490
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 2: Benjamin Steinberg Here, Benjamin's a big big time listeners a

1491
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 2: classic here, one minute long voice memo.

1492
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: So lock in.

1493
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 9: So I have sort of like a random hot take

1494
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 9: that's based on how much the two of you guys

1495
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 9: gas up.

1496
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 7: The farm System pitching lab.

1497
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 9: And it's that with all of the broken promises and

1498
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 9: hopes and dreams that we sustained with the previous generation

1499
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 9: of pitching prospects to Gram, Harvey, Cindergard, Wheeler, Matts, and

1500
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 9: how the five of them never hope blessed together, they

1501
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 9: never came together sustained success. I think that some group

1502
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 9: of current Mets prospects, some group of them, some group

1503
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 9: of five of them, are.

1504
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 7: Gonna come together and get.

1505
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 9: Closer to delivering on those promises than the previous pitching

1506
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 9: group did. I'm not saying that this group is going

1507
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 9: to become generationally amazing necessarily.

1508
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 7: I just think that there is probably a lot of

1509
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 7: room to have more.

1510
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 9: Sustained success than the previous group did, and that this

1511
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 9: group right now can maybe accomplish that.

1512
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 1: I that's interesting. I disagree. The reason being is I

1513
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 1: think the message is gonna spend on pitching. It seems

1514
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: like that kind of also is a way that they

1515
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 1: might go as well, like trying to get a couple

1516
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: guys in the rotation that are gonna be free, kind

1517
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: of like Sproke, Christian Scott, those guys. We also still

1518
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 1: haven't really seen enough of a lot, Like the pitching

1519
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: labs can take years, Like it's gonna take time. Yeah,

1520
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: so even the guys that are getting juiced up in

1521
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 1: the organization right now, like the Jonah Thongs of the world,

1522
01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 1: or even Brandon Sprote like, it has been like a

1523
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 1: year that these guys have been there, So we probably

1524
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 1: do need a little bit more time. You're probably never

1525
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 1: going to see what you saw with the Mets during

1526
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 1: that time with almost any organization ever. Again, that's a

1527
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: rare thing that happens where you can bring up four

1528
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 1: or five guys that are you know, high possibility, high

1529
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 1: seiling stud pitchers.

1530
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 2: I also think that there's probably a difference in the

1531
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 2: way that I bet David Sterns is thinking about developing

1532
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 2: pitching prospects for us the way a fan will interpret

1533
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 2: like pitching prospects are being developed, where that was like,

1534
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 2: here's our rotation. These are five guys we developed and

1535
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 2: they are sick, where David Stearns is like I want

1536
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 2: for the pitching process. I think that I can trust,

1537
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 2: but like, I know, this is numbers game, because I know,

1538
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 2: just like those guys, someone's getting hurt, someone's getting hurt again,

1539
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 2: someone's popping a blister, someone might get dumped by supermodel

1540
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 2: and do too much cocaine. We don't know what's gonna happen.

1541
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 2: So I think that looking back on that era of

1542
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 2: the Mets and now seeing that basically only two of

1543
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 2: them wound up even having careers that were worthwhile, and

1544
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 2: only one of them has a career that ah no

1545
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 2: to Grom and Wheeler are gonna have careers that everyone

1546
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 2: remembers forever. Wheeler is the only one who I think

1547
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 2: actually has a legitimate shot for the Hall of Fame,

1548
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 2: which is crazy the SEC I think he does have

1549
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 2: legitimate shots. Gonna get shot, I know, get a shot.

1550
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 2: But Grom needs to do a lot more. If you

1551
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 2: fix those guys' careers together, you have a shrifire Hall

1552
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 2: of Famer. I mean we wear a lot more still too,

1553
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 2: but yeah, a lot more still. He probably he's statistically speaking,

1554
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 2: I've said this before. He's one of the best playoff

1555
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 2: pictchers ever terms of EVRA, in terms of wins, in

1556
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 2: terms of whip, in terms of strike out rate for

1557
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 2: a starting pictures. So that's it just seems just has

1558
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 2: to get over the hump. And I think, sadly I

1559
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 2: just said, fuck the Phillies, just a good chance to

1560
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 2: get over it kind of soon. I don't know really,

1561
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 2: but like looking back and seeing the fact that like Cindergard,

1562
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 2: Harvey completely fell apart and MAT's never made himself into anything,

1563
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 2: it changes the way I look at that era of

1564
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 2: Mets pictures a bit, whereas this era I think it

1565
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 2: gets more of just like numbers, game numbers, game numbers.

1566
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 2: We might we might not have that same pop off,

1567
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 2: we might just have more quantity.

1568
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: And also the Mets like they couldn't spend money, they

1569
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 1: like had to make these pictures. They kind of like

1570
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 1: forced like couldn't, wouldn't wouldn't, wouldn't shame on me. Wouldn't

1571
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:07,920
Speaker 1: spend money. Mets wouldn't spend money. They could have, they

1572
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 1: did not. They chose not to. They were not willing

1573
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 1: to spend money, so they had to use their free

1574
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: pitchers when they could, and then they would spend their

1575
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: money on Bartolo Colon. So that was pretty much pretty

1576
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 1: much why. I think. Also, those five guys really did

1577
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: get the opportunity and shine like they did and maybe

1578
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,360
Speaker 1: didn't get traded like you might see nowadays, where if

1579
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: you have a big pitching prospect like a Steven Max

1580
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 1: who's a little more volatile, you probably ship him out

1581
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 1: now rather than be like he's going to be here

1582
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: for six years.

1583
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, why you trade a guy like paid

1584
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 2: Morrison Tyler Stewarts for upgrades right now the deadline to

1585
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 2: make a playoff run?

1586
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: All right, play that last voice memo for us.

1587
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 2: One more quick one thirteen seconds from menor TRD.

1588
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 1: All Right, I don't know.

1589
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 3: Any guys.

1590
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 10: Shout out from Wow, what would you like to see

1591
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 10: the Men's do in the offseason?

1592
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 3: Signing Peter Alonzo? What were you like to see them do?

1593
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: Shout out?

1594
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 2: That's a international international.

1595
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're international, they're international. I know they're technically part

1596
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 1: of America, but Puerto Rico's his own country. Shoutut Puerto Rico.

1597
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: That's making shout Puerto Rico. The big one that has

1598
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 1: been floating around recently. I think is people are pretty

1599
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 1: confident that I's gonna sign Corbyn Burns. That they think

1600
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 1: that that reunion's almost to guarantee. That is what John Harper,

1601
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:22,360
Speaker 1: our favorite old man reporter, was saying that, especially because

1602
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 1: the Mets really just saved eighteen million dollars from justin

1603
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: Verlanders vesting option that they're not going to have to spend,

1604
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,439
Speaker 1: and they're saying that, or at least John Harper is saying,

1605
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know the truth that's behind his words,

1606
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: but you know what, I'm gonna give him credit when

1607
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:37,720
Speaker 1: it goes positive for the Mets here is that he

1608
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 1: thinks David Curtains is like, yeah, we're getting corbyin Burns

1609
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 1: next year, and the money's all the off season money

1610
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: is going towards him.

1611
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 2: I also think that weirdly, the Orioles getting Zach Elslin

1612
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 2: taking his money is a little bit insurance for corbyan

1613
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 2: Burns get. I don't know how much Moight they're willing

1614
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 2: to spend on their new one's super rich. They have

1615
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 2: no reason not to spend the money because they haven't

1616
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 2: really spent on anybody. But they have a lot position

1617
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 2: players they will have to pay a fuck ton of

1618
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:02,439
Speaker 2: money eventually keep it. But I could also see Alex

1619
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 2: Redman by the play himselves out of like a very

1620
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 2: serious contract. I bet the Mets kick tires and him.

1621
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 2: I think get him for three years or few and

1622
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 2: that would be if Pete Alnso's not there. And Yeahantos

1623
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 2: goes to first and now now we get a huge

1624
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 2: defensive upgrade, which we know David Stearns would love to do.

1625
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: Or and then you have Pete Vento's DHS and Axsburg you.

1626
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 2: Could do that, or you mix Pete and Vantos a

1627
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 2: DH and when the other guy plays first, I think

1628
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 2: maybe Pete first space after this year. Yeah, so I

1629
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 2: think those are all really possible. Things like past that,

1630
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 2: it's hard. It's hard thing about next fur agency because

1631
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 2: like I don't know, like we'll see what happens to

1632
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 2: have Arena we're gonna off from qualifying contract. He'll know

1633
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 2: we're getting him back. Labor Torus has fully worked his

1634
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 2: way off the Yankees now saying refuses to play their base,

1635
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna eat their base, and he's not part in

1636
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 2: in place. I'm gonna say that if you lose Pete,

1637
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 2: I can see Christian Walker being a pivot. I can

1638
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 2: see Ree Hoskins being a pivot.

1639
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: A lot of options for the Mets, A lot of options,

1640
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: and things change as the season goes on, so we'll

1641
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: have to wait and see. But those are some quick

1642
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 1: names that will throw at you. And now let's read

1643
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 1: out a couple podcast reviewers here to to wrap up
