1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: The Mets win a series. Edwin Diaz two saves, looks disgusting,

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: and maybe we have some good young players with Brett

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: Bady and Francisco Alvarez. That and more on the next

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: episode the Mets Up Podcast. What Is Up? Mets Fans,

5
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of The Mets Up Podcast. Guys,

6
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: we did it. Everybody clap you're in your car. Maybe

7
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: don't clap in your car, keep your hands on the wheel,

8
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: be safe. But hey, we did it. We won a series.

9
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what. It wasn't ugly, No, it

10
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: was ugly, wasn't pretty. This is exactly what we told

11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: you the Mets would look like all off season. We

12
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: said it's gonna be. If you love baseball, you gotta

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: watch this. And granted, Game two was maybe one of

14
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: the most disgusting games we've watched it in quite some time,

15
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: and in almost a few months here, but the Mets

16
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: did end up winning this series and we got a

17
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: lot to talk about. James, how's Italy, What's going on?

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: Italy's good? Happy to watch.

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 3: The Mets got the piece of every game this series,

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 3: including almost full total games on Saturday and Sunday, which

21
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: is fun because my dad was motivated to watch. We

22
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: had pretty good service in the city of Milan, so

23
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: we're watching on our phone at like restaurants and bars. Also,

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 3: there's two things that happened in Italy that two of

25
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 3: some of my favorite things have ever happened in the

26
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: world that you would love to bits and pieces. Number One,

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 3: every single grocery store has a full section totally dedicated

28
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: to perju. Though Wow, like a wall, like a whole open, open,

29
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: like fridge system where it's just like this kind of

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: bua that kind of pursue this kind of combo pack.

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: It is kind of slightly different combo pack.

32
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: I've eaten so much braju though, capa col salami this

33
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: week it's depic.

34
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 2: Two.

35
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: When you get drinks at bar during the day, as

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: long as you clarify with them, you're drinking operativo. So

37
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: like someone gets an operol sprits or just you get

38
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: a beer and you say operativo, they'll bring you just chips.

39
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: I love briefs. Free potato ships the bar and free

40
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: potato chips.

41
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: My mom today we went up for a happy hour

42
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: tick called Apativo, and the guy gave her so much

43
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: shit for kept asking her for chips. He came out

44
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 3: because usually just put two on the table. And then

45
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: now she just heard me. She's she's talking now back

46
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: to me. But he then put one ray in front

47
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 3: of him. Said these chips from my mom, the chips

48
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 3: from my mouth, but tasto for her. No one pointed

49
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: all of us. Nobody touched her chips. Nobody touch her chips.

50
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 3: But even my sister shouted her. She ran them a

51
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 3: lot marathon today, twenty six miles insane. Most marathons, when

52
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: you're running around, they have like options for like to

53
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: give you some little water, and here, she said, they

54
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 3: were giving a little fruit. There was a station halfway

55
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 3: through the marathon where they had salami and perjudo for

56
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 3: the rest. She said, the Italian that were stopping at

57
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 3: salami in the middle of a marathon.

58
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: Cool, this country was built free. You gotta get here.

59
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: I gotta get to Italy a little more often. Chips

60
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: and meats like at every at every quarter. That's my life.

61
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: Literally, it is amazing.

62
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: But do you guys know Italian? You guys speaking Italian

63
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 1: over there.

64
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: Mom pretends she took it in high school, same with

65
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 3: my sister, but she absolutely knows none. Most basically everyone

66
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 3: speaks English. Everyone's here stall were Spanish. We've been getting

67
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: a lot of family o laws, so it was just funny.

68
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: That definitely offends a little bit, but English English is

69
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: good enough.

70
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: It's good. That was a big seity.

71
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: People talk English all right. Back to the Mets, though,

72
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: Let's get it started off, just like we used to

73
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: the good old days. We get to do a little

74
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: bit game by game going through these series. Here, get

75
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: us started off. In game one, we had Jose Kingtana

76
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: on the mound going up against Hunter Green, and just

77
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: to get it started, Hunter Green was doing that thing

78
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: where he just looks like one of the best pitchers

79
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: in baseball, pretty much shut down this Mets order. Alvarez

80
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: had a really rough night, struck out three times. Did

81
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: not look good against Hunter Green, one of the few

82
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: times he has looked human this year. But gotta say,

83
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: as ugly and as bad as Jose Katana looks on

84
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 1: the mound at times like the walks are infuriating. It's

85
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: so so frustrating to watch this guy walk, people wander

86
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: and run through five and two thirds like I don't

87
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: know how he does it. He's a magic man. He

88
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: waves the magic wand and he gets out of trouble

89
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: seemingly every single time. But Kintana got us started keeping

90
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: the game close, which is huge.

91
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: He's done this his whole career too, just like a

92
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: little nibbler, a little nibbler, a little nibbler. But he

93
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 3: was working the fastball in the synkru on both sides

94
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: of the play. The curve balls and the change ups

95
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: were all down. The command in those two pitches I

96
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: think though, kind of held him back in this one.

97
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: He just those were kind of like out of the shadow,

98
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: out of the chase zone, and they wound up just

99
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 3: kind of bouncing half the time, and he wasn't able

100
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: to get out of bats, and there were some long

101
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: at bats that turned into walks, and he had the

102
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: same amount of walks of strikeouts, which we never want

103
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 3: to have. But as gross as it is, like this

104
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: Mets rotation, as we've gone through this weekend and the

105
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: debacle that wounds up happening on Saturday, the number one

106
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 3: thing we're looking for Mark's favorite thing in the world

107
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: at length, and he somehow has been the guy that

108
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: actually can get it the most.

109
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: But he didn't.

110
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 3: He didn't get finally through the sixth inning and this one,

111
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: have we had a guy complete six innings at this year,

112
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 3: We've had one too, maybe.

113
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: Shrump and Sruman and I did I think Tiger Star.

114
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, but I think that's still the only

115
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: one that's like right now has been the Achilles heel

116
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 3: because we're just burning through these relievers because they have

117
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 3: to go four innings every night, and we had a

118
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: double Heather and we had two extra inning games. But

119
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: at least he's a guy who as horrible as it

120
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: looks and ugly, as much as I really truly hate

121
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: watching him pitch like, it doesn't seem like batteris are

122
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 3: the most comfortable against him, and he finds what he's

123
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 3: to keep runs off the board.

124
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, in terms of the offensive side of things,

125
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: I said, yeah again that I say he had to

126
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: start every single and then it's again, I'm amicable. I agree,

127
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: I'm a nice guy. I'm like, oh, James has a

128
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: good point. I want to let him know. I agree.

129
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: But here's where we're going here. Not gonna say it.

130
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: McNeil home run. That was nice. He still looks pretty

131
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: horrible at the plate, looks completely lost his legs are

132
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: going one way, his butt's going the other way. His arms,

133
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: his shoulders, everything's out of whack. I'm gonna have to

134
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: break down a little Jeff McNeil film maybe tonight after

135
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm done editing this podcast for everybody, so that I

136
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: could see what's going on. I've been the swing whisper

137
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: with Jeff McNeil once before. He'd acknowledged that I found

138
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: something that was wrong in his swing when he saw

139
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: it on Twitter. Maybe I can do it again. Would

140
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: love to turn the season around. But the thing I

141
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about the most in this game, offensively

142
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: and just as a player in general, was the Brett

143
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: Batty show. He was making plays in the field. Two

144
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: hits in this game, great at bats. I think we're

145
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: starting to see it. Someone even went at me on

146
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: Twitter because I tweeted out a clip of Baty like

147
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: having a good at bat, making good play, saying it's

148
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: starting to happen. We've been telling you that Brett Batty

149
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: is a good baseball player, and it's all finally starting

150
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: to culminate. Now defensively, offensively, at the plate, whatever he's doing,

151
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: it's going well. Someone was like, dude, enough of this, like,

152
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: we know Brett Baty's a good baseball player, Like, I

153
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: can't believe you never thought that. I'm like, no, no, no, buddy, buddy, Buddy,

154
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,239
Speaker 1: you are mistaken. We've been banging the Brett Baty drum

155
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: for two and a half years now, and it's finally

156
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: starting to pay off. Granted, he's not playing like at

157
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: this all star level, but this is so much better

158
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: than anything we've had at third base in a long time.

159
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 3: Totally, we asked for Alec Bohm, just with real defense,

160
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 3: and right now we're getting Alec Bohm with real defense,

161
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 3: and the real defense is happening in a very real way.

162
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: He talked a lot, or I think maybe Garrett talked

163
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: about during the Saturday game, that Baty spent a lot

164
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: of time with Lindor this offseason, just training and then

165
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: back a spring training, and he said the thing he

166
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: wanted to copy with Lindor because you're never gonna get

167
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 3: Lindor's hands, You're never gonna get Lindor's lateral quickness. But

168
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 3: what he got from him, what he really wanted, was

169
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: his pre pitch ritual, just what he does before the

170
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: pitcher's coming to be in a more ready position because

171
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: Baby's a big guy. We kind of talked about that

172
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: last year where he's a good athlete, but he's probably

173
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 3: just not as mobile as like the best third basement

174
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 3: of the game, Like you see a Matt Chapman or

175
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: a key Brian Hayes played third base, and they look like.

176
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: Shortstops playing there. Baby's never gonna be that. He's a

177
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: little lunkier.

178
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: But what Lindor told him and what's been working for

179
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: him is kind of just getting a little like hop

180
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 3: into the play. He called it getting some air, and

181
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 3: you can kind of see that gets him much more

182
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 3: in the balls of his feet. And you saw it

183
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: so much in the two big plays he made on

184
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: Friday where the one play the hot shot down the

185
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: line where he just dove down the line, made the

186
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 3: play and fired the shot to first. That was a

187
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 3: great play, and that's like the kind of play that

188
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: is the cool highlight and it gets a good reaction

189
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 3: because he's diving, you get dirty, you make the play.

190
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: But I tweeted about this too. By far the most

191
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 3: impressive play I think that Brett Bayes made. It like

192
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 3: his entire career was a dribbler hit basically at Francisco

193
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: indoor with Ellie de la Cruz hitting him, and he

194
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 3: charges in front of Francisco Lindor, which is that takes

195
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: a lot of confidence, takes lau Gusto takes a lot

196
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: of balls from the young third basement right there and

197
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: fires to strike to Pete to get Ellie de la Cruz,

198
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: one of the fastest players in baseball at first base,

199
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 3: on the dribbler, keep him off the bass pats, and

200
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 3: we saw the havoc he reachs on the bass pats

201
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 3: and every other game this series, and he talked about

202
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: it after the game. Maybe Tim Healy talked about it

203
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: that the Mets actually prepared for this situation. People were

204
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: giving them a shit, and we'll talk about ver Satda

205
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: these games. The Mets may have not been prepared for

206
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: every situation in this game, or at least during the

207
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: season in general. We'll talk about the fucking crazy first

208
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 3: and third play. But they were like, if Ellie hits

209
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 3: a dribbler, basically to Lindor Brett, you have to get

210
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: in front because you're gonna have the momentum to make

211
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: the stronger throw as good as short stop as Lindor.

212
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 3: As we know, he didn't have the strongest arm. That's

213
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 3: kind of a shortcoming. But Baby jumping across and making

214
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: that play is amazing. And then you could just see

215
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 3: like the mental change with Baby on that and that's

216
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: that's just not something he would have done last year.

217
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 3: And seeing him do that and taking charge in the

218
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: infield is really, really, really cool.

219
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: The confidence is driven out of him. Like you said,

220
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: he would not have cut in front of Lindor last

221
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: year defensively, no shot, he would have just deferred to Lindor.

222
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: There was a play I think in game two that

223
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: was a little awkward where he thought Lindor I think

224
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: he deferred to him. He went to third, Lindor end

225
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: up going to cover second. Yeah, the Ellie check swing,

226
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: which again caused havoc. This guy didn't really hit the

227
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: ball hard like he normally does, but he caused havoc

228
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: still some way, somehow. But Yeah, Brett Batty was phenomenal

229
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: this week Yeah, this weekend. This weekend, he looked great defensively, offensively.

230
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: These are the kind of things that make you feel

231
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: super excited about the future for him. The same thing

232
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: with Alfarez and No, Alvarez didn't necessarily have the greatest

233
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: game in Game one, but he's still what our best

234
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: hitter technically right now statistically on the team. So those

235
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: two guys leading the charge three and four or four

236
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: and five in the lineup right now was not necessarily

237
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: how he drew it up. But I'm pleasantly surprised how they've.

238
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: Looked very upsetting that as the time of Saturday's game

239
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: that Francisco Aliverrez had sat two out of three games.

240
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: There basically should never be a situation where he's not

241
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 3: like six games in the week.

242
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Why Saturday he was sitting, it was because he caught

243
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: a ball off his leg or off his hand late

244
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: in the game on Friday night, and he had an

245
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: zero for night with three strikeouts that were just like,

246
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: we just want to kind of give him a rest there, okay.

247
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: And also I wanted to come back to the beginning

248
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: to talk about jeff home run. Two funny things happened

249
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: to Jeff home run.

250
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: One's the cute note that Brandon Neimo left him in

251
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 3: his locker like hey, Jeff, like swinging good pitches and

252
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: like hit it where they ain't, and Jeff was like, yeah,

253
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 3: there was no one in the right field stand that's

254
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: why I wanted to hit it.

255
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: He was like, all right, that's funny, but.

256
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: It's cute that like Nimo is trying to be a leader,

257
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: and he tries to be a leader by writing notes

258
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 3: to other players in the team and like signing them

259
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: and then also shout out there boy Jordan, Jordan Simpson,

260
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: mister Mets music over here. He again, we had Knob

261
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: watched with Jeff McNeil. He switched his bat before this

262
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: game again to the pro x R Knob. Last week

263
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: he was swinging the puck. So it's interesting that Jeff

264
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 3: is trying to make these adjustments. Maybe, you know, we

265
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 3: do want to have him on the show soon, and

266
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: we don't have as many connections as we once did,

267
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: but maybe maybe reach out to him, gi him a

268
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 3: littleive him little.

269
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: Swing talk, because I think I used to have probably

270
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: needs to be a little bit hotter right now. I

271
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: don't think Jeff's gonna be looking to come on the

272
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: podcast where he's hitting one oh five or whatever he's

273
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: hitting currently.

274
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: Let's say it's a two step process.

275
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: You give him some swing help, then he gets hot

276
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 3: and then podcast.

277
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's that's like my thank you is I'll

278
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: fix your swing and then you can come on yes,

279
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: and then help.

280
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 3: Us get bread Bailey on too. We want to talk

281
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 3: to our boys. Fucking awesome, but he's so awesome Otherwise.

282
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 3: Then we had like weird bullpen stuff because Drew Smith

283
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 3: did the both thing where he gets some mouse and

284
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: he gets guys on base and he gets out of it.

285
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 3: But him Raley out of Vienna, went right through Diaz.

286
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 3: A little trouble, but right through and you'll win a

287
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: good game.

288
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: Win a good game. It was stressful. It was not

289
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: fun to watch in the slightest like I was exhausted. Yeah,

290
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: I was exhausted on Friday night from just sitting and

291
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: watching Mets baseball for two and a half hours. I

292
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: was like, I I'm tired, Like I need to have

293
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: a drink, I need to do something. I can't. I

294
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: can't just like shut off my brain right now and

295
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: relax for the night. They caused me so much stress.

296
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: Now Game two. Luckily, if you are a March Madness fan,

297
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: you have the opportunity to not watch this one. Even

298
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: though the Mets didn't come out to an early lead,

299
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: it the way that they blew this one was just

300
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: like so frustratingly bad, not good at all.

301
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 3: Also so shit because the Mets basically thoroughly dominated this game.

302
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: They had chances to score early to they didn't fully

303
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: capitalize on. They had the eight hardest hit balls in

304
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: this game. The hardest hit ball by a Red player

305
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 3: in this game was only one hundred three miles an hour,

306
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 3: and that was a fly out of Christian Carrastian Stran.

307
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 3: The first inning seth Reno looked amazing and I definitely

308
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 3: want to talk about that, because that's another drum we've

309
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: been banging that after a really like a start that

310
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 3: definitely didn't look good. We harped on this for the

311
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: last two episodes. Down to do it one more time.

312
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 3: That Brewer start wasn't as bad as I think it looked.

313
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 3: It was a lot of hits I got. I had

314
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: a really funny tweet this week a bit. I think

315
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep going because it was like the fig

316
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 3: blend of making people angry and happy at the same time,

317
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: and it went into like an explosion of impressions for me.

318
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 3: Where George Kirby had to start similar to Sevrino start,

319
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 3: where it was like a couple of well placed ground balls,

320
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: two real hits, two balls that banked off gloves, and

321
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 3: like three bloops. And I was like, the box score lied,

322
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 3: here's every hit that George Kirby gave up. And I

323
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 3: got Guardians fans murdering me, especially because I have to

324
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: like the fact that I went to Ohio State and

325
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 3: my bio.

326
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 2: People like, we gotta claim this.

327
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 3: This fucking idiot and he went to Ohio State and

328
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 3: now he was talking about the Guardians, so he's how

329
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 3: with this a real baseball's played. I had the old

330
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: school baseball people like that's the box score. They got hits, hits,

331
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 3: our hits, like doesn't matter, fuck ex velocity. But then

332
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 3: I had like the other nerds who are like yeah, yeah, yeah,

333
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 3: you're right, and I got like so I got like

334
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: kind of ratio, and then I got enough likes to

335
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 3: like get like to run away from the ratio so

336
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 3: it's still worth it. And the Marinis fans and all

337
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 3: the fantasy baseball people were like, yeah, protect George Kirby

338
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 3: at all costs. So I tweeted it like as it

339
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: kind of a joke, not a joke, but Baseball Savon

340
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 3: did an update, so I had to wait twenty four

341
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 3: hours to even do it. And then when I did

342
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 3: it two days after the game from Italy, I scheduled

343
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: the tweet, I was out for the day and like

344
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 3: open to her. I was like, oh my god, well

345
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: that's sonifications right now, but no, it's good and then

346
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 3: that starts Severno again was the same because sometimes if

347
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 3: you're looking at a box when a pitcher gets blown

348
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 3: up hits, if you just see a lot of hits

349
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 3: and like there's not a lot of home runs and

350
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: not a lot of stuff, like that's the one thing

351
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: where it'll get better next time, because hits in baseball

352
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: are just they're mostly luck at the end of the day.

353
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 3: And you kind of see in the start where sever

354
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 3: Reno was just on the mound, he looks like a horse.

355
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 3: He's throwing ninety seven ninety eight miles an hour. Eighty

356
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 3: two of the ninety nine pitches Severino threw in the

357
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 3: start were over ninety three miles an hour eighty two

358
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 3: of ninety nine and that was four seemers, that was

359
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 3: two seamers, that was colors. There's even a few sliders

360
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 3: to go over ninety three miles an hour. Like he

361
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: just looked like it was just gas. At the end

362
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 3: of the start, it was just he just kept throwing

363
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 3: fastballs and the Reds couldn't touch it. He ended this

364
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 3: start with nine straight fastballs the last night pitches he

365
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: threw in the game pitches ninety to ninety nine and

366
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: they averaged ninety six point nine miles an hour. Like

367
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 3: this is what makes sever Reno so good is he

368
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: can just do that over and over again. The guys

369
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: can't catch up, and they couldn't. He had one really

370
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 3: bad inning which was similar to his first Star when

371
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 3: the Mets defense failed him, And I think that's kind

372
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 3: of the TRUCKX have a bigger problem where the Mets

373
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 3: defense has been so much worse than we thought it

374
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: was going to be heading into the.

375
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: Yea, Which is funny because at third base it's been

376
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: great and that was the problem with the defense last year.

377
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: But it's everything else.

378
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 3: Tyrone Taylor trips some falls going for a fly ball,

379
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 3: Will bounces off Jeff McNeil's glove with the infield dame

380
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 3: when he tries to like make a little like scoop

381
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 3: on the side of him and nail guy at the

382
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: play where probably should have got the out of first

383
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 3: base and allowed the beginning. Then a hot shot also

384
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 3: that goes off pe A Lonzo's club. I think Pete's

385
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: playing some of the worst defensive first place they ever

386
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 3: played his career.

387
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, been really bad.

388
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: He like tripped and fell in a pickoff attempt the

389
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: other day. Where's just like, just got to get the

390
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 3: feel under yourself right now, Pete. But he got through

391
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 3: that inning. But then, like you see how that inning

392
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 3: kind of snowballs because he wound up throwing thirty pitches

393
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 3: inning we should have thrown ten. He had to get

394
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 3: five outs, and then he comes out after the fifth inning.

395
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 3: We should have been able to pitch the sixth and

396
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 3: then you kind of extend the game by an inning.

397
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: When we found out after the game the only relievers

398
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 3: available for the Mets were Johann Ramirez, Jorge Lopez, and

399
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: I think, and I guess technically Julio Tearn And that

400
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: was a because of how many guys they used on

401
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 3: Friday and the double heather on Thursday. And now you're like, oh,

402
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 3: this this kind of stinks. We're like almost have no

403
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 3: chance to win this game because one little inning that

404
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: only winds up allowing one run snowballs. But again, so

405
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 3: everyone was awesome, very confident that start, but this game.

406
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: Was so awful.

407
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: What is the apprehension by the Mets to use Jorge Lopez?

408
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: It seems like they have no interest in using him,

409
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: Like listen, Adam Montovino has done a decent job these

410
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: last two outings against the Reds. Still scares me that

411
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: the guy who was their eighth inning guy in twenty

412
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: twenty two then got demoted last year because he was

413
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: bad and was basically used in mop up situations, is

414
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: now back to our eighth inning guy. It seems like

415
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: because he gets every opportunity. I'm not saying it should

416
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: be Jorge lopez'z. He has to prove it, but where

417
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: where's he been?

418
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: I think it so happened that the eighth innings that

419
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 3: Olavino pitched weren't against the meat of the Reds orither,

420
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 3: so I think there might be some matchup stuff happening there.

421
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 3: But he did hitch against Riley Green again the left

422
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 3: of the last episode that just both wanted to run

423
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: up a wall. But it's funny you talk about the

424
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: apprehensive of Hoy Lopez because in that Tiger series and

425
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 3: game won the double header when basically everybody's available.

426
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: He throws the top of.

427
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 3: The tenth inning, but the man the ghost runner on

428
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: the base and he has a shutdown inning and it

429
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 3: comes in today and like sometimes the curveball is a

430
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: little weird on him, but like the stuff is really good,

431
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 3: and he's a guy who can get lefties and right

432
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 3: he's out because of that great curveball. So I don't understand. Also,

433
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 3: just the way that inning was handled. Now we're kind

434
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 3: of jumping around, but that eighth inning for the Mets

435
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: was so hard to watch because Johndre Mires didn't have

436
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 3: He gets through the seventh.

437
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: Inning and he looks good. You should you should be

438
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: running away. When I got an a Squillo siging around me,

439
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try and get grab it. During the show

440
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: coming to he's on my light. He's on my light.

441
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: He's literally sitting on my light.

442
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: Kind of mosquitoes in Italy and April.

443
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 3: It's a nice day of seventy five degrees today, it's

444
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 3: nice Morocco. Tomorrow it's gonna be ninety. It's gonna be amazing.

445
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: But let's train thought for a second.

446
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, So they happens and Jo hundreds just doesn't

447
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 3: have it. He's coming in where your hundred mares get

448
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 3: through clean inning, you should make like a bandit a run,

449
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: especially when hor Helope is available. And then once the

450
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 3: game gets out of hand, now hor Helope is warming up,

451
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: why didn't he just start the inning? Like why there

452
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 3: should be a situation where like, if you know you

453
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 3: don't have these guys, take what you get, take your

454
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 3: victories when you have them, and kind of just figure

455
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 3: out the next inning when it comes, like you can't

456
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 3: be thinking about the eighth and ninth inning and the

457
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 3: seventh thing.

458
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 2: You just can't.

459
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: This team doesn't have enough body right now to be

460
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 3: doing that. So that that was the most frustrating thing

461
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 3: for me, apart from other weird shit that happened between

462
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: these innings.

463
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: Well, you also have the idea that I don't know how,

464
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: it seems like every year but the Mets like always

465
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: don't have enough bullpen arms. It feels like every other

466
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: team just uses guys, and the Mets go, we have

467
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: like six guys unavailable today, and you're like, how is

468
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: that even possible? I don't understand. We have to take

469
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: our first ever shot at David Sturton's here, we have

470
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: to do it. Read Garrett being on the roster even

471
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: though he was unavailable with an option that we now

472
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: found out is on there inexcusable. Why was he on

473
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: the team.

474
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 3: Still he throws three innings and three amazing innings. Kind

475
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 3: of had a huge hand winning the Mets the game

476
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 3: on Thursday, Like we talked about the first win a while, like,

477
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 3: kind of the season back on track with only Mets

478
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 3: fans can say shit like that eight or fourth. But

479
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 3: he has an option and he's not available for three days.

480
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 3: Send him to the minor leagues. I don't ski though.

481
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 3: I don't get why he's on the team if he

482
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 3: can't pitch and he's let limiting it.

483
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: If you even have.

484
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 3: Grand heartwag, I don't think anybody really wants see Butch.

485
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 3: Just other relievers down there with options, bring them up.

486
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: Let the guy pitch an inning. If you have bad pictures,

487
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 3: they can get through an inning.

488
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 2: That's kind of the whole.

489
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 3: That's how relief pitcheon was invented. You're not good enough

490
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 3: to get through multiple innings, so try and get through

491
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 3: one inning. Just throw as hard as you can't get

492
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 3: through one inning. This was a big weekend where the

493
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 3: concept of throwing as hard as you can had a

494
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 3: lot of discourse because everyone's getting surgery.

495
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 2: Would you do?

496
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: Nope, I clicked the wrong thing. I thought for a

497
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: second that the Mets actor roster. I'm like, oh, they

498
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: have no other relievers that they can bring up. Untrue.

499
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: I clicked active, not forty man. Tons of options, including

500
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: our boy Fuji. Where's food chet?

501
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 2: I don't know.

502
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 3: I haven't seen anything about Fojo, So I'm not going

503
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 3: to talk because it's definitely a chance that he's he's

504
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 3: stinking in the minor leagues.

505
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, Ski though this mosquito's got your interests here.

506
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 3: Hey, I don't want to get bit He's just the

507
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 3: fact that again Garrett had the option. We wound up

508
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 3: trying to like was was what calls me? Those plants

509
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: just pitched over hundre mirors. The rest of the game

510
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: is that the plan?

511
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: And also if if if.

512
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 3: One guy has to throw two winnings, the one guy

513
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 3: is throw winning, you have two guys available, why don't

514
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 3: you just trust the better one to try and do

515
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 3: the two innings? Like right, Like, why not just use

516
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 3: him for the seventh and then eighth and ninth Jr. Helopez,

517
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 3: and then even they got Holdio Tearran warming up and

518
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: he's the scheduled star there for the next game the

519
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 3: Mets to play on Monday. It's like, why now is

520
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 3: he warming up when this game's out of hand, Like

521
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 3: I don't just now, just let him finish the game

522
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 3: or dead already.

523
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 2: But that was really annoying.

524
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 3: The other really annoying thing that happened good another another

525
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 3: Mets stuff, sweet that went semi viral here just hot

526
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 3: his hell on there. The Mets fell for the oldest

527
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 3: trick in the book in baseball. The redside guys on

528
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 3: first and third, two out, and they stole second base,

529
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 3: and the Mets threw down and the run came home

530
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: to score. And that was such a critical run this

531
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 3: game because I went from before the two games, before

532
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 3: the three game or three it was wound up being

533
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 3: a two run game to one run game. And I

534
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 3: was sitting there with my dad and we were like,

535
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 3: did that just happen? And it was two right, it

536
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 3: was all one and the pitch was a strike. But

537
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 3: also Stuart Fairchow was on first base and he's fast

538
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 3: as hell. He's ninety percentile sprint speed guy's playing center

539
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 3: field for the team.

540
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: He's been the TJ. Friedlo replacement.

541
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 3: And then I left e Jake Dekimon was on the mount,

542
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 3: so Spencer Steele was twenty feet thirty feet off the

543
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 3: bag of third already, so it's like, what what was

544
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 3: the plan there? Then there was a little bit of

545
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 3: misdirection happening in the media because Carls Mendoza set after

546
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 3: the game to the press, I probably would have eaten

547
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: that one, but then Tim Healy reported that the Mets

548
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 3: have but given the sign to Nova. I used to

549
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 3: throw that ball, So now it's like, hmm, miscommunication, who's

550
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 3: throwing who under the bus here?

551
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: Weird thing.

552
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: I think the Mets winning on Sunday kind of quieted

553
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 3: that storm a little bit. By it was this game

554
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: where another situation this year was basically happened like one

555
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 3: or two of these in every series where it's like,

556
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 3: what the hell was that? That was not something that

557
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 3: like a prepared, fundamentally sound baseball team would should do.

558
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, we in high school, which this is how you

559
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: know it's such a bush lea. It's not Bushley get all. Actually,

560
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to say that. Good on the Reds

561
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: for making the Mets look stupid. But like, the idea

562
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: is that it's such a little league play that we

563
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: had it in high school. Shout out our legendary old

564
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: coach Bob Brewster, the coaching for thirty years at Westfield.

565
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: He uh, we used to have a play, especially when

566
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: lefties are on the mound, that the guy on first

567
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: base would take an extraordinary lead because the lefty pitcher

568
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: can literally see him. And the whole idea is the

569
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 1: lefty pitcher is gonna then try and pick him off

570
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: to first base, or they're gonna throw the pitch he's

571
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: gonna steal, They're gonna throw down a second forget about

572
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 1: the guy on the third he scores an easy run,

573
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: easy way to steal a run. The fact that the

574
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 1: Mets fell for that is pretty inexcusable because it's one

575
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 1: of those plays too that even in high school we

576
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: were prepared for if it happened against us. So it

577
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 1: was like there was no excuse for the way that happened.

578
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: If that was the play that was called, you have

579
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: to stick by it. The miscommunication there is what is

580
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: confusing and a little bit concerning as well.

581
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also maybe especially the fact that usually if

582
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 3: a play like that happens and there was miscommunication, usually

583
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 3: the manager is the guy who takes the heat for it.

584
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: Similar to the bunt play that happened the Tiger's game

585
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: where Mendoza, which is like he's defending the decision he made,

586
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: which is like, fine, if long's the bad decision, are

587
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 3: a bad play, like take the heat as the manager.

588
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 3: But the fact that there were different narratives coming from

589
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 3: the catcher and the manager, that's weird vibes for me.

590
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 3: And also the fact that arman Device is not like

591
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 3: a cat back there. He's not the most athletic. The

592
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: pop isn't exactly what it would be from like Francisco Alva's. Also,

593
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 3: the arm is not exactly like it's it's not really

594
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 3: like Buster posey level.

595
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: So and the Mets takes stolen bases against the Mets.

596
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: Any chance you guys get take players to steal, well,

597
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,239
Speaker 1: that's that's what I was gonna say.

598
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 3: The Mets have the most stone base attempted against him

599
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 3: this year and the most stolen base is made by

600
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 3: the teams against him this year. So this is something

601
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 3: that we're going to see over and over. So the

602
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 3: Mets just have to respond. It's a shame that all

603
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 3: these weird, terrible things happened. Once Sevrino came out of

604
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 3: the game, because he looked really good, and the offense also,

605
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 3: for the first time this year, looked really good. Marte

606
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 3: was on base three times, stole a few bags. Nimmo

607
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 3: had an RBI, hit Early had three hard hit balls,

608
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 3: Baity had a few more hits. Or Vas was three

609
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 3: for three. Lador kind of crazy. Nine hittered three for

610
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 3: three was amazing, but Lador like you saw the foreshadowing

611
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 3: of finally his first good game of the year Sunday,

612
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 3: and he had two hard hit balls, which small victory,

613
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: but will take it. Tyron Taylor another RBI, so like

614
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 3: things were clicking, and just the fact that for some

615
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 3: reason the Mets only had two relievers available, one of

616
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 3: them is basically a quadruple a reliever, and he had

617
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 3: to pitch two winnings. And then you're playing you're like,

618
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 3: not like just playing fundamental baseball, and then you blow

619
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 3: a game because of it, you blow a sweet because

620
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 3: of it.

621
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: It's very annoying.

622
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a frustrating one, for sure. It caused

623
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: me to have a couple extra beers while watching March

624
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: Madness out at playing. It was so bad.

625
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 2: I got so man watching the game.

626
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 3: But then my dad like stormed out because we were

627
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 3: watching the game four o'clock game, six hour, different starts

628
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 3: to ten ends at once, like watching a West Coast game.

629
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 3: When happen goes, I'm going to bet, I'm going to bed,

630
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to just when he was so pissed, but

631
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 3: it was it was shit because again, like these are

632
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 3: such easy things that would see that the team is

633
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 3: ready for, and they just seemingly weren't, and it frustrating.

634
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: Luckily, like we said, they did win the series, though

635
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: Game three was a little bit more of Mets baseball.

636
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: Like we told you, it's gonna be ugly, it's gonna

637
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: be stressful. You gotta love baseball to watch this team

638
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: this year, I love baseball. It's hard sometimes to watch

639
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: this team right now, like it is frustrating, but Francisco

640
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: Lindor finally seemed to look a little comfortable. I'm gonna

641
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: say this, though I've had no more lefty. Just hit righty, please,

642
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: just swing ready. Your righty swing is so much better.

643
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: It's so much quicker. The ball granted this happens every

644
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: single year. His righty swing always seems to be ahead

645
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: of where his left handed swing. Is part of the

646
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: reason why he starts so slow. But man, his righty

647
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: swing is just so much better.

648
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: It is, and you it just saw that he was

649
00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 2: very ready to play.

650
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 3: But also just the peer iron of the fact that

651
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 3: he gets the double in the first inning to get

652
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 3: the first run and out is driving home comes up

653
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 3: again after pieces loaded double play, You're like, oh my god. Yeah,

654
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 3: I mean, but there's also that was a play where

655
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: it felt so obvious that he's pressing right now. Yeah,

656
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 3: because he was ahead in the count to one, he

657
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 3: had taken a pitch, he had fouled one off, and

658
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 3: then there's just like a little low and outside little

659
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 3: I think it was a little color, a little bullshit

660
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 3: slider from and Rabbit the lefty, and he just he

661
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 3: just flailed at and he pulled the ground ball like

662
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 3: if that's a pitch where he has served it over

663
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 3: the first basement's heads. Amazing piece of hitting, but it

664
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 3: seemed like again he wanted to have the shot. Like

665
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 3: it's almost like he saw the fence two hundred feet

666
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 3: away in Cincinnati. I was like, I'm gonna blow this

667
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 3: game up right now because we see that there's there's

668
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 3: a feeling of pressure with the Lindor family right now.

669
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 3: We tweeted about it on Saturday, but pot Dealerd Door

670
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 3: shared some direct messages that are so appalling and so

671
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 3: discussing any Mets fan that is going after somebody's family

672
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 3: because somebody had a bad start to the season, a

673
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 3: bad week. If this week happened in May, half the

674
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 3: people would even know. The mutants would know this because

675
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 3: they do anything they can to chastass for Cisco Lindor.

676
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: But yes, the guy who's been worth the fourth most

677
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 3: war in baseball for the last three years, for some reason,

678
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 3: he has a bad week and people tell his wife

679
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 3: that that that they should all die.

680
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.

681
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 3: But then also I love that Katti came out on

682
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 3: Sunday and it's like, you guys see, you guys see,

683
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 3: he's still good.

684
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 2: He's still She did she did. She was tweeting all day.

685
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 2: You can see that.

686
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: Oh no, yeah, she clapped back.

687
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: She's been clapping back. It's amazing.

688
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: But oh, missus Lindor, way to go.

689
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 2: Cool to see him get those hits.

690
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 3: Cool to see him hit well, cool, see him be

691
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 3: the engine the top of the order, because like you

692
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 3: can see now in a game where again most of

693
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 3: the teams still can't hit, Jeff McNeil looks horrific, atrocious,

694
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 3: but just again nice to see that like he can,

695
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 3: he can have a game that basically wins.

696
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: You a game. I understand Harrison Bader hit the ball

697
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: hard today, but oh man, that's like have a shot

698
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: every time for Harrison Bader hits the ball hard. You're

699
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: not gonna have many drinks this year.

700
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 2: So it's going door hit the hard three times?

701
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, but yeah, the offense was was better today.

702
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: Like you said, nine hits Tyrone Taylor. I know the

703
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: numbers aren't. Great ballplayer though, love Tyrone Taylor. Something about

704
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: him just he screams ballplayer. Uh. And I'm impressed by

705
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: his play, even though he had that weird playing in

706
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: the outfield the other day. And then on the mound.

707
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: Let's talk about pitching here. Shaw manayah, shaw Manaya looking

708
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: really really good again. And you know what it is too,

709
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you're gonna talk about it because you're

710
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: the pitching guy here. But that fastball's got some extra

711
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: life on it right now, he said, like ninety five

712
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: ninety six, And I think that's a difference maker.

713
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 3: I talked about the last episode, I'm definitely gonna fire

714
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 3: off a tweet after this game bout the quote tweet

715
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: messed up so to get that engagement up. But he

716
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 3: does have some more life than that fastball looks like

717
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 3: he definitely put on some weight and he did another

718
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 3: winter a drive line, so the fastball has been harder.

719
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 3: But he definitely does the thing that I hate where

720
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 3: he's throwing as hard as he can at the beginning

721
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 3: of the game and then it gets like slower and

722
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 3: slower and slower and slower as the game goes on.

723
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 3: Where he was hitting ninety six like the second inning,

724
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: but then by the time you get to you know,

725
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 3: the third, fourth, fifth, with him, it's like all right

726
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 3: now the fast look, yeah.

727
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 2: It' ninety two ninety three and we we gotta get

728
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 2: out of his jam.

729
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 3: But he does the thing that's cool again I talked

730
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 3: about last time, where he's not gonna have the good

731
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 3: ride in the fastball because he has that like sidearm

732
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 3: three quarter and he's playing off the sweeper and the

733
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 3: reds against Manaiah only right he's in the lineup today

734
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 3: only righties. He didn't face one lefty. But he's throwing

735
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 3: that fastball from that weird slot and it's coming so

736
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 3: in because he has so much.

737
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: Run into the riot.

738
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 3: He's so much run And I'm not going to say

739
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 3: it's like a it's something that will cause a guy

740
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 3: a fit, but it's definitely not the most comfortable at

741
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 3: bat when like every single time you're goetting fastball on

742
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 3: your hands and it comes from a weird angle and

743
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 3: then the sweeper can drop right down because he'll bury

744
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 3: you in that sweeper and color all on your hands.

745
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 3: If you guys look at his pitch Illustraler and Baseball Savan,

746
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 3: he's throwing fastball, sweepers, colors basically all in the exact

747
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 3: same spot, just kind of begging guys to just like, hey,

748
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 3: do something with this, do something with this, and the

749
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 3: red hitters couldn't do anything with it. Like he had

750
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 3: the one jam again that he winds up getting out of,

751
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 3: and I think the second, third, fourth inning that again, similars,

752
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 3: have you limited this from a sixth thing star to

753
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 3: a five inning star. They only hit three balls hard

754
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 3: and I don't remember any of them being particular screamers.

755
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 3: One of them was one hundred five, but then two

756
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 3: of them are just ninety six, barely even hard hit ball,

757
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 3: and then it's just uncomfortable and he wiped out to strikeouts.

758
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 2: The sweeper got the whiffs. The color look good like

759
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 2: it was good.

760
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 3: It was a really good start, and I think this

761
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 3: is a bettermentia and I expected. But then it's still

762
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 3: the fact that I don't. I don't he's gonna be

763
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: like a six to seven ink pitcher. Usually I think

764
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 3: he's mostly a five and die because when that fastball

765
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 3: does start to go down, you can feel the effect

766
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 3: inness drop. And when that fact starts to drop, it

767
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 3: gets a little bit scary, especially when every single hit

768
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 3: and up against him, like the rest of today's arriety.

769
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: But still good And granted that is also a little

770
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: more scary too because we're in great American ballpark and

771
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: that ball flies there. Now, luckily today the ball was

772
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: not flying because the wind was blowing in. That also

773
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: helped a little bit too here with the game just

774
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: limiting the home runs. But yeah, manaig in City Field,

775
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: maybe Manian City Field. That's why they love them even

776
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: so much as they're like, yes, no one really hits

777
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: the ball hard enough to get it out, and at

778
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: city Field, we know home runs that's where they go

779
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: to die. But yeah, really impressed with what he's done

780
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: this far. And you talking about that left handed fastball

781
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: in on a right handed hitter. One as a hitter,

782
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: hated it in high school. Two as a catcher begged

783
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: left handed pitchers please do this because you know this

784
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,479
Speaker 1: is an uncomfortable feeling. So I like the fact that

785
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: the Mets are doing that because that's something that Mets

786
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: have not done a lot in the past in previous years.

787
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: Is throw inside.

788
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 2: You love that Mark's talking about playing high school baseball

789
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: now three official times on this podcast you talk about how.

790
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: Many pictures did you throw in your career? How about that.

791
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 2: Never ending I was I had no arm I was horrible.

792
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 2: I I just like analyzing it. It's just fun.

793
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 3: But also the fact that stands in the first base

794
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: side of the rubber and just lets that pitch go

795
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 3: with the motion, go more time, more time is running

796
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 3: the guy is really cool. But again, the one thing

797
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 3: that again I think it's just who Sean and I is.

798
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 3: I think this might be the way he's like kind

799
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 3: of learned how to pitch. This is coming from the

800
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 3: Giants school of pitching, where it's like we just we're

801
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 3: just looking for outs, like we don't really care, Like

802
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 3: I get as many outs you can wire on the mount.

803
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: So it's just seeing that pitch lassy drop, drop, droped up,

804
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 3: dropping the line, grapped through the start. I do hate that,

805
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 3: but I don't know, maybe maybe that's just again, you're

806
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 3: not going don't change the way you pitch. They ain't broke,

807
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: don't fix it, so just keep doing your thing. But

808
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 3: that's always gonna limit him from being a guy who

809
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 3: can become like a real two three rather than being.

810
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: At three four and to kind of just put a

811
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: nice bow on everything. In this series, Edwin d has

812
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: looked great again in Game three. He's disgusting that slider

813
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: is just in awesome form right now, like they don't

814
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: know how to hit it great.

815
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 3: Overall from the bullpen, the Mets didn't give up a

816
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 3: hit in this game after man I left the game.

817
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 3: Every single week, a couple walks, a couple of walks.

818
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: Brooks Raley the first time this year he didn't look

819
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,239
Speaker 3: like super sharply still got out of it. No, like

820
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 3: very like contact Lopez Raelei out of Vino Diaz. You

821
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 3: can see that this bullpen, well, some days it feels

822
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 3: very bad. Some days like this, it feels really good.

823
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 2: In the red. You just swept kind of swept through

824
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: and ended this game fast.

825
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: Almost like a couple podcasts. So I've told you guys,

826
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: this is exactly what's gonna happen. We just didn't expect

827
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: them to start the year like one and five, but

828
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: this was This was a very very Mets series of

829
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: this is going to be what the team looks like

830
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: all year. When they win, it's gonna be close games.

831
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: When they lose, gonna be chaos. Yeah.

832
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 3: And again, all these games have been close this year.

833
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 3: This is the first time the Mets have won a

834
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 3: game this year by more than one run, which is

835
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 3: pretty annoying. But also if the Mets were just able

836
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 3: to catch Baseball's this series and like kind of man him. Yeah,

837
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 3: and if any little thing was happening differently in like

838
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: half these games, the Mets might be about five hundred

839
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 3: right now, which is funny because like the whole world

840
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 3: right now was so against the mess.

841
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 2: In the fact, they look like dead Dogs. Yeah.

842
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 3: I had my best tweet of all time yesterday where

843
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 3: I tweeted that like the hilarious like Silent Hill SpongeBob picture,

844
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 3: which I loved so much, and then my first ever

845
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 3: twenty thousand likes amazing.

846
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 4: I was.

847
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 2: I went to bed and I woke up. I was like,

848
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 2: holy shit about yesterday.

849
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: When A Dalton, or our buddy Dalton in Arizona texts us,

850
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: He's like, what's the hope for the mess And granted

851
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: this was after the blow up, inning and and everything

852
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: that was going on Saturday, I said, have zero hope.

853
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: I was done. I was done at that moment. I

854
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: was like, I can't watch no it because.

855
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 2: It felt like that. But then they win the game

856
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 2: on Sunday, like, all right, let's see it, and I'm back.

857
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: It's right, We're back.

858
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 3: We're gonna have to go with Atlanta. We're gonna preview

859
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 3: that series in a second. But just to also catch

860
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 3: up on a few things happening in mets Land. Number one,

861
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 3: some weird, weird things happening with j D.

862
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 2: Martinez.

863
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 3: He's going to sit for a few days because of

864
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 3: general soreness. I don't I don't like that. I don't

865
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 3: know that's happening. This seems kind of awkward to me.

866
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know if it's possible. I'm sure

867
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 3: the messaine sign of a contract with it now, but

868
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 3: he might have looked around and been like, I don't

869
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 3: think I'm wanna play for this team anymore.

870
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit scared about that.

871
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 3: But him him saying I'm gonna take a few days

872
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 3: off this week for general soreness, because he was supposed

873
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 3: to come back Sunday in the Cincinnati. Then they were

874
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 3: like Brave series and I was like, ah, nah, no,

875
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 3: brave serious for me.

876
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm getting a little, uh, a little flashbacks to another

877
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: guy whose name started with a jay and ended in

878
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: the D. Do you remember what the letter was in

879
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: between by any chance? Yeah?

880
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 2: It was an E for excellent.

881
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, j Ed, I don't think it's gonna be the case.

882
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: You know what, Pretty god it's not that case, because

883
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can handle that again. But like,

884
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: where the fuck is he? How is it taking so

885
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: long to get ready to hit? I don't get it.

886
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: I was giving him credit.

887
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: Everyone's like you could roll out of bed and hit,

888
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 3: But that doesn't seem like can roll out bed hit

889
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 3: because now he's taking a couple days off in Syracuse

890
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 3: for general sortness. Who wants to spend more time in Syracuse.

891
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 3: Let's be honest here, he's spending extra days in Syracuse

892
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 3: in April. But also he's like, it's not for timing,

893
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 3: he's taking a few days off for general soortness.

894
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: JD just come.

895
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: Playing the field where they letting him play the outfield.

896
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: He should only be hitting. That's the only thing he

897
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: should be doing. Don't let him step on the field.

898
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: Don't let him step on the outfield grass. That's actually

899
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: what I wanted to say. He can step on the dirt,

900
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: no grass. I don't know. I really don't know.

901
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 3: And another thing that again we have to say this

902
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 3: as a little bit of a critical shot at David Stern,

903
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 3: especially when the ballpen's been handed this weekend. Mexical player

904
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 3: in the Rule five draft is you're justin Slayton. We

905
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 3: talked about briefly when we were still in the days

906
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 3: where we had to just be positive at nauseum, and

907
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 3: the Mets wound up trading him during the Rule five

908
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 3: Draft basically for cash and a minor league.

909
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: Pitcher, and he looks so good for the Red Sox.

910
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 3: He's running like sense strikeout rate like a sixty percent

911
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 3: wif ray, he's throwing gas, he has a big sweeper.

912
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 3: He in this entire Red Sox pitching renaissance. That might

913
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 3: just be them playing the Oakland Athletics a lot and

914
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 3: the Mariners starts season in Seattle.

915
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: He looks really good.

916
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: He looks really really good.

917
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: And I'd love to have him in this ballpener.

918
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 3: Now maybe it was a fear that he didn't have

919
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 3: an option, but if he was in this ballpen, wouldn't

920
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 3: need an.

921
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: Option because he has an option. Oh, because he doesn't

922
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: real five draft.

923
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he'd be the second best league rest team

924
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 3: right now.

925
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 2: Wish I really wish he was here.

926
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: No, he's definitely got some stuff. He's looking nasty pitcher

927
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: for the Red Sox. Also shout out the South Carolina

928
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: game Cock just took down the mighty Kaitlyn Clark National

929
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: Champions won by twelve not even close.

930
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 2: Wow, Kaitlyn Clark.

931
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: Oh that's I kind of wish I were is is

932
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: Kaitlyn Clark?

933
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 5: Like?

934
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,959
Speaker 1: Uh, she's the new Lebron Like she could have win

935
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: for how good catch killed those a little bit. Yeah,

936
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: I got me done. Kaitlyn Clark. Can she win the

937
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: big game? That's the next question.

938
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 2: Gossi NWNBA.

939
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the last thing here, because

940
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,479
Speaker 1: we want to talk about you know, we have our

941
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: stupid take of the week, super take the week before

942
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: we go into the Brave Series, and this kind of

943
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: fills into it something that I sent to James earlier today,

944
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: everybody's favorite reporter who's never gotten anything wrong, John Morosi

945
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: not going by JP anymore. John Morosi talking about there's

946
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: a big conversation right now in baseball because of arm injuries.

947
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: Is it velo related our pitchers? Should they be throwing

948
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: so much velo? Doctor James Andrews came out said it

949
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: used to be all major league and minor league players

950
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: and then college players getting Tommy John and now he's

951
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: seeing that it's way more youth players than it even

952
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: is guys at the professional level in terms of the

953
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: percentages of guys that he sees. So the conversation of

954
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: velo and being a multi sport athlete has come up

955
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: a lot. Gives you a lot of bad takes. John Rosi,

956
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: I think has one of them, and he says if

957
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: the Braves Big three were amateurs today, they would not

958
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,959
Speaker 1: They might not have opportunities to play pro ball, which

959
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: definitely wrong. They for sure would have the opportunity to

960
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: play pro ball. That's that's where he's super super wrong.

961
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: They would be in the minor leagues at the absolute worst.

962
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 1: They would still probably be major league players. But Glavin

963
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: and Smoltz were multi sport athletes from cold weather states.

964
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: Maddicks and Glavin weren't hard throwers spin Max Vilo's sports

965
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: specialization or hurting today's pitchers. Now here's what I'm gonna say.

966
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: I bet you Tom Glavin and Greg Maddicks probably had

967
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: pretty elite spin on those off speed pitches as well.

968
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they

969
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: weren't just throwing tumble in pitches, weak sliders and curveballs

970
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: like Tom Glavin was disgusting. Fuck them, but he was disgusting.

971
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: Greg Maddox no v low, but had incredible command and again,

972
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: nasty movement. The pitches were moving like crazy. That's not

973
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: happening because he had bad spin. He wasn't worried about

974
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: the spin on his balls. And then John Smoltz like

975
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: the cold weather multi sport athlete thing. There are plenty

976
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: of players that are still multi sport athletes come from

977
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: cold weather states, And if you really want to, like

978
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: pick one, that would be the closest in terms like

979
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: the Tom Glavin type pitcher of not throwing hard. Marcus

980
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: Strowman's five foot seven maybe maybe on a good day,

981
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: multi sport athlete. Pretty good pitcher, Mets fans, I know

982
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: you hate him, but pretty good pitcher.

983
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 2: Well, there's ports of Marcus Struma play.

984
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: He played basketball and stuff in high school, so like

985
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: he was playing multiple sports. Tom Glavin Grant could have

986
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: gone professional. Yeah, hockey, of course, I don't know what

987
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 1: smoltz other sport was. To be fair, I.

988
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 3: Mean, I don't know basketball hockey could be in any

989
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 3: But it's also funny that the same organization, the Braves,

990
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 3: are the team that originally like scouted and developed Michael Soroko,

991
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 3: who compared so similar to these guys as a guy

992
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 3: who was like spinning command. But I think there's a

993
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 3: hint of truth in what John Rosey was saying. I

994
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 3: don't think he executed what he was trying to say. Well,

995
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 3: just because in modern baseball, I think you just do.

996
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 3: You get drafted on velocity, you get moved to the

997
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 3: majors on velocity, like Paul Skens Jackson Job. He's guys

998
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 3: doing one hundred two miles now in the minor leagues

999
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 3: right now. And a guy like Justin Steele he has

1000
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 3: to like scratching claw for years. Anybody to give him

1001
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 3: like even a modicum of respect. I think, sure, who's

1002
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 3: some other soft toss right now who are making name

1003
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 3: of themselves? Breast Garrett, I guess in a way, but I.

1004
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: Think Depvers was a first round pick, tenth overall, and

1005
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: he probably profiles the most similar in quotations because they're

1006
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: not but two time Glavin in that like through mid

1007
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: nineties was good breaking balls.

1008
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 2: Two pushbacks on Depnvers one, he's added five miles an hour,

1009
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 2: six miles an hour since he was.

1010
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 3: Drafted, yes, of course, and then also the other side

1011
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 3: of that too, he was drafted by the one team

1012
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 3: baseball Los Angeles Angels. Fannahigh, I don't want to model

1013
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 3: any of these like modern mother takes after because.

1014
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: But that is like nineteen nineties, you know, like they're

1015
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: still in the nineties.

1016
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 3: Well that I get that that you rand echoing Morosi's point.

1017
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 3: Now now you're on his side again. There's there's a

1018
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 3: hint of truth there where it's like you're you're not

1019
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 3: getting drafted for touch and feel anymore as a pitcher.

1020
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: You're like not as much.

1021
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 3: I think we might have had discussion a few weeks ago.

1022
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 3: Maybe I just saw it on Twitter where I think

1023
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 3: we might have just been drunk at a bar. We

1024
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 3: were like, what rounds does Greg Maddix get drafted? And

1025
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 3: nowadays I wasn't with me, Okay, I wasn't with you.

1026
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 2: I guess, oh, you know it was.

1027
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 3: I think it was when I was hanging out like

1028
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 3: with you know, Nick Pollock at that stuff, and I

1029
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 3: think we kind of settled on like between the fifth

1030
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 3: and tenth round and then I was gonna.

1031
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: Say fifth to tenth just now.

1032
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's there's a there's a pitching prospect who I

1033
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 3: love so much, but I don't know if he's going

1034
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 3: to be good yet in the diningback system. You min

1035
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 3: Lint who he has like some crazy pitches. He has

1036
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 3: a good fastball with good action on. He has a

1037
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 3: slyly he's change up, he's a curveball. He mixes everything.

1038
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 3: He tops out by ninety two ninety three miles an hour,

1039
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 3: and really he sits like ninety to ninety two ninety

1040
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 3: one even so, and he's a guy who's had amazing

1041
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 3: results in the minor leagues, and he just he's he

1042
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 3: he get no credit all on the prospect circles even

1043
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 3: though the results are amazing, and he's really never been

1044
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 3: not effective, just I think besides the spring breakout game,

1045
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 3: which is funny, but you don't like, you don't get

1046
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 3: the credit for being that kind of picture anymore, for sure.

1047
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 3: And you guy like Aaron Nol, like Aaron Nola has

1048
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 3: been a horse, a monster as a major league pitcher.

1049
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 3: He was no kind of prospect and there was never

1050
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 3: a second where he wasn't good. Like it's it's just

1051
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 3: a weird thing in between you. Maybe Nola was like

1052
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 3: a was the seventh overall pick in the draft, but

1053
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 3: what kind of like what was his peak prospect rank?

1054
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 2: Could you find those on pipeline?

1055
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: I can find that for you, now, I can find that.

1056
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: I can find it. Give me, give me two seconds

1057
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: here while you keep talking. His highest on pipeline was thirty.

1058
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 3: Seven, Okay, so it was actual pretty good prospect I

1059
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 3: take that one back. But again, so he wasn't like

1060
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 3: a premier prospect. But also we didn't really have prospects

1061
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 3: the way you have prospects now back then. Maybe Greg

1062
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 3: Maddox wasn't this like superstar premier prospect him. I just

1063
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 3: came up and dominated, because once you come up and dominate,

1064
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 3: it doesn't really matter anymore. Most of the good pictures

1065
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 3: that we see these days aren't not that's not true.

1066
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 2: It's kind of true.

1067
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: But like Greg Maddux was also a second round pick,

1068
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: so he wasn't even a first round picker all right then,

1069
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: So like that's the other thing too. That's that's why

1070
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: I think that this take is also bad because it's like,

1071
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: you're this is a really easy way to get stupid people.

1072
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: Tom Glavin's second round pick as well. By the way,

1073
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: this is a really easy way to get like stupid people.

1074
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: I'm not calling you one because I think you do

1075
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: have some points here that they're v low and projectability

1076
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: I think even more so is what's important now when

1077
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: evaluating these prospects, taking them towards the top than these others.

1078
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: John Smoltz was a twenty second round pick, by the way,

1079
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: I just want that to pick guy, so he couldn't have

1080
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: He couldn't have picked worse players honestly, maybe for this

1081
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: entire situation, because these were all guys that didn't even

1082
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: get drafted early on thirty years ago. So dumb take

1083
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: of the Week John Morosi idiot.

1084
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 2: Shout out Brens Troum two.

1085
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 3: Definitely like one of the best pitching minds we've had

1086
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 3: over the last decade because I know that he's someone

1087
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 3: who when he scouts pitching, develops pitchers.

1088
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 2: Like he he doesn't really care.

1089
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 3: About vlosh at all, Like he likes having it, but

1090
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 3: he's kind of like, either have it or you don't.

1091
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 3: Like he wants to see guys working, breaking balls in

1092
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 3: different counts. You want to see how guys respond with

1093
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 3: pressure with guys on it. Yeah, Jack Collen's a great

1094
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 3: example of that, and that's the organization human Lynn Merrill

1095
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 3: Kelly the way he's pitched last few years, and then

1096
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 3: a lot of these guys who came up with the

1097
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 3: Astros during his center there at least were scout and developed.

1098
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 3: Christ Navierre has great movement on that fastball, but it's

1099
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 3: not big veloscity Franbervaldez is a bowling ball who throws

1100
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 3: like crazy sinkers and curveballs, and that's like very aisure by.

1101
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, like again, now I'm agreeing with you

1102
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 3: more now. But I think there's like this is just

1103
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 3: it was a bad weekend for baseball. Takes just because

1104
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 3: the Spencer strid their injury. Now, as we transition to

1105
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 3: the Braves preview, it does suck for baseball. It's good

1106
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 3: for the teams in the National League, but it sucks

1107
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 3: for baseball because baseball he's basically no, yeah, basically he

1108
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 3: is the most exciting pitcher in baseball. Whether or not

1109
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 3: you think he's the best pitcher in baseball, he's definitely

1110
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 3: the most exciting. He has the best stuff. He's he's

1111
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: the most interesting. I think the way he pitches, the

1112
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 3: way he talks about pitching, the way he's like so cerebral,

1113
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 3: but also throws one hundred and he's five foot nine

1114
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 3: and he's got these big quads. Yeah, fuck him, hate them,

1115
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 3: but I like baseball better when he's involved in it,

1116
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 3: and it sucks that he gets hurt.

1117
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 2: Shane Bieber also is going under the knife.

1118
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 3: Garret Cole went down, Sandy A Contre went down like

1119
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 3: it seems like hath the good pitchers baseball are now

1120
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 3: oranger and A're basically not going to pitch this here

1121
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 3: that the product. It hurts the game, It just hurts everything.

1122
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 3: It makes it less fun to be a part of

1123
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 3: this league. And everybody had takes. There was this weird

1124
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 3: video went viral of like a pitching drill when you're

1125
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 3: like you're flexing your elbow backwards. And I don't know,

1126
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 3: no one knows the answer. We don't have medical degrees.

1127
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 3: It seems like throwing as hard as you can one

1128
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 3: hundred percent from the second step on the mast to

1129
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 3: the second step off might might be a problem. It

1130
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 3: might intuitively, Tony Clark said stuff about the pitch clock,

1131
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 3: the head of the players Union, maybe that's a problem too,

1132
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 3: But we don't have any irrefuvable medical evidence yet. But

1133
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 3: just a good way for them to get some clicks,

1134
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 3: and that gets some cause the players Union has been

1135
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,479
Speaker 3: getting just murdered the last couple of years.

1136
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 2: But I don't know, I really don't know. I don't

1137
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 2: know what's going to solve it. I don't know what's

1138
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 2: gonna change.

1139
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 3: But it's just it was a bad weekend for that discourse,

1140
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 3: because generally it's just for a.

1141
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 2: Bad weekend for baseball.

1142
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: What are the pitching matchups for this Brave series. I

1143
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: actually think we're getting unlucky and missing their two worst

1144
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: pitchers statistically this year with Strider and Freed. Freed five

1145
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: innings and two starts. Man, that must be a top

1146
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: ten pitcher, like all the Braves fans talk about every

1147
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: single year. He's so good.

1148
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 3: Telling you guys for a few years that Max Freed's

1149
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 3: woefully overrated, and he's the guy. It's like, it's a

1150
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 3: strange thing that the Brave sign everybody to extensions.

1151
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: As we can.

1152
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 2: He is a Bors guy, so I'll give him that.

1153
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 3: But just they won't do it. They won't sign him

1154
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 3: to an extension. But matchups this series. Monday night, Julio

1155
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 3: to Heron Charlie Morton, it's not gonna be that.

1156
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be that great.

1157
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 3: Wednesday Night, Adrian Hauser versus Rynald Lopez, who looked awesome

1158
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 3: at his first start with the team. Then Thursday Night,

1159
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 3: I'll say Kintana and it's gonna be versus probably Bryce

1160
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 3: Elder because that's the Atlanta.

1161
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 2: That's the Striders spot.

1162
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 3: It could be Hammery aj smiss yeah, I kind of

1163
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 3: want to crush it, but or either Hamry A. J.

1164
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 3: Smith Shaw, who hasn't been great Triple A so far.

1165
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 3: And then Thursday afternoon mattin a noon game. We have

1166
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 3: three seven twenties. Then a nooner on Thursday Luis Averreno

1167
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 3: versus Max fried In an.

1168
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: Asof I'm so thankful that I'm gonna be in Florida

1169
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: this week playing golf, might be able to miss a

1170
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: couple innings of these games, because I'll tell you right

1171
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: now this, They're gonna fucking just crush us. It's not

1172
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: gonna be close. I'm gonna I I want to be

1173
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,959
Speaker 1: positive and think that we have a shot. But even

1174
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: you that that side the like, that's you trying to

1175
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: lie to yourself that maybe these games will be close.

1176
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: The Braves are They don't lose right now. They were

1177
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: down six runs to the Diamonbacks the other night, came

1178
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: back and won like it was nothing. Everybody in this

1179
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: line up has an OPS close to a thousand. Right now,

1180
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: I don't really know how we beat them, and oh god,

1181
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: I'm putting the expectations on the floor that the Mets

1182
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: win one game. Ooh, met's win two games. Holy shit,

1183
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: they do anything more than that. I'm gonna throw a party.

1184
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm a pop Champagne in Florida. But god, this is

1185
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: scary to play this early in the season.

1186
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 2: The worst part heading into the series is that the Braves,

1187
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 2: I would say two best hitters in Rondy Cunya Junior

1188
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 2: and Austin Riley, are the only two guys.

1189
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: In this team.

1190
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 3: Not kidding, it seems like it seems like a cunia

1191
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 3: might have been cheating last year because the strike car

1192
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 3: rate went all the way back to thirty percent this year.

1193
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 3: Now that he realizes Mookie Best is the best player

1194
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 3: in baseball.

1195
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: Remember the clips of the whistles in Atlanta that were

1196
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: suspicious Doing his research on that, he only checks if

1197
00:43:58,600 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: the Mets players are sliding.

1198
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 3: And slide all the time they met text to score

1199
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,439
Speaker 3: the run this series because because they didn't slide, which

1200
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 3: was really funny too. But Marcelo Zuna is just the best,

1201
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 3: the best person in baseball. That's this is why his

1202
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 3: third chances matter for guys like Marcelo Zuna. He's got

1203
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 3: four homers this season and he's not he's not striking

1204
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 3: out Orlando, I see leads the team in war, which

1205
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 3: is hilarious.

1206
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:16,919
Speaker 2: It's kind of cheap.

1207
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 3: Early in the season, the shortstops was gonna lead the

1208
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 3: team of war because of like a five game, seven

1209
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 3: game more samples bullshit.

1210
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: But Gerry Keltics like six hundred.

1211
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't, I don't.

1212
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 3: I thank god that we have a lefty pitching the

1213
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 3: series because one game Derrick Keltnick won't crush us in

1214
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 3: because he's not striking out too, which is I don't

1215
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 3: want to talk about it. I just don't want to

1216
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 3: talk about the fast.

1217
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: We don't have to do the estimate anymore either, because

1218
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: I guarantee Gerry kill the kids would have been the estimate.

1219
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 3: Well painful, but yeah, thank god. I just it's just

1220
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 3: win winning game early in the series, win one of

1221
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 3: the first two games, and then let's just try to

1222
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 3: steal another one because after the series we get Royals.

1223
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 3: I think we get pirates who need those teams are

1224
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 3: actually both playing better baseball, and I think we've just

1225
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 3: marsh Royals next season. And also just retired Docun's number

1226
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 3: on a Saturday, So happy for Doc. But the the

1227
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 3: level of disrespect and using Doc Gooden for a ticket grabbing.

1228
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 2: April's fucking awful by this organization. But just get through

1229
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 2: this line up a few times.

1230
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 3: Let's just try and win a game or two because

1231
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 3: we have games every single day for the next two weeks.

1232
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 3: So it's just try someone pitched six innings, I'm begging.

1233
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 3: So just saying, if Julio the Heron gives them one

1234
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 3: five and runs, he's a sleeper cell and they want

1235
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 3: him out his organization. There's I don't I don't believe

1236
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 3: he's going to actually try and to feed the braves

1237
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,439
Speaker 3: one in that I just don't believe. I won't believe

1238
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 3: until I see it. So just get through. And then

1239
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 3: Renaldi Lolopez is a guy. Just he's pitching really well.

1240
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 3: I was kind of half and half with my pitching

1241
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 3: predictions for the Red Seeders, where I talked about how

1242
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 3: gross Fernando Cruzes and his implosion blew the game, just

1243
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 3: walking everybody Friday night, But then I was kind of

1244
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 3: right talking to Andrew Rabbit, very hitable, that's hit him

1245
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 3: pretty well on Sunday shows against him.

1246
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 2: But I'm scared Renold Elope just dices us the fuck

1247
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 2: up because his first start with his team he.

1248
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: Looked awesome, but it also was against the White Sox,

1249
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:50,439
Speaker 1: so that's true.

1250
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 2: Also doesn't count.

1251
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 3: But this is me kind of trying to like, you know,

1252
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 3: throw into the Bernardolope is amazing.

1253
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: He's well, the Braves are gonna win the World Series

1254
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: this year.

1255
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 3: So of course there's no better team than the Braves,

1256
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 3: even without Stria, they can't lose.

1257
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 2: The World Series.

1258
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: No, they're pitching everything, They're so good. Everybody on that

1259
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: team is coming in so hot this series. It's crazy.

1260
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing. And then I think it's all the

1261
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 2: Brave series. Just one more thing I want to talk about.

1262
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 2: Cool thing from something in the Mets universe.

1263
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 3: Shatawayne ran a yes shadow Wayne hit legendary rant during

1264
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 3: the Angels game on Saturday night because MLB went back

1265
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 3: to a single that Nolan Shanuel hit on March thirty.

1266
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 3: If I believe and ruled an error, it was one

1267
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 3: of those hit really hard.

1268
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: It was.

1269
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 3: It was a hot shot that looked like probably like

1270
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 3: a sixty forty place should have been rule to hit

1271
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,439
Speaker 3: for LB to go back seven days later, eight days

1272
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 3: later and take the hit off the board. That wound

1273
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 3: up breaking holand Shannuells on bay Streak. The Star's major

1274
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 3: league career thirty games, one of the longest major legue history.

1275
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 2: He was going for the record.

1276
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 3: For them to take that away retroactively, What the fuck

1277
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 3: are you doing? How many times does the National Basketball

1278
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 3: Association does the does the reptile man Adam Silver take

1279
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 3: points on the board for Lebron James or Victor Webbin Yama? No,

1280
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 3: not saying that Nolan Shanuel's on that level, but just

1281
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 3: you have a young player doing something cool.

1282
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 2: Why are you going in being a lot.

1283
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,959
Speaker 3: Grubby or well it's not really why are you trying

1284
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 3: to change that? And then Wayne took that and he

1285
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 3: rolled it into the uniform stuff. He rolled into the

1286
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 3: arm injury stuff. It was Atani, major shot of Otani,

1287
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 3: which is true, major shot at Man frend shot of

1288
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 3: fanatics love. Wayne Miss is member of the Mess family.

1289
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 3: And you felt just a little bit of how he

1290
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 3: rose in that rant, which made me happy. Wayne, throw

1291
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 3: the rant into this when you add it. Okay, I'll

1292
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 3: throw the rant into this. You guys are gonna hear

1293
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 3: it now.

1294
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 4: Negative story after negative story, scandaled after scandal A fiasco

1295
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 4: in Oakland. You have this these ridiculous looking jerseys. You

1296
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,879
Speaker 4: have the MLBPA challenging the league about the pitch clock

1297
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 4: today because of constant pitcher injuries, and yet not to mention,

1298
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 4: your global superstar is embroiled in a betting scandal. But

1299
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 4: on top of all of that, you have a young

1300
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 4: player trying to make a name for himself who has

1301
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 4: come up and reach base safely in every single game

1302
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 4: that he has played in the league. Allows this scoring

1303
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 4: change to go on to end his streak. Kill this story,

1304
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 4: a positive story that's happening in Made League Baseball. It

1305
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 4: is an absurdity.

1306
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean when you think about all the positivity

1307
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 5: from all over to social media world, how it pressed

1308
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 5: everybody to start in your career.

1309
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: He was this in college last year.

1310
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 5: He was still playing in college baseball at this point,

1311
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 5: and then they have that taken away on a base hit.

1312
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 5: It was a base hit.

1313
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: It was a clear hit.

1314
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 4: It wasn't even really a borderline call. It was a

1315
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 4: clear base hit.

1316
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 5: Yeah. Like I said in the pregame show, the NBA

1317
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 5: doesn't take an assist away from Lebron James that he's

1318
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 5: got a triple double and he's trying to add that

1319
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 5: on that record just doesn't happen.

1320
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: And now the rants is done. Okay. We also have

1321
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: one review, James, we got a one star review you

1322
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,919
Speaker 1: ready for this? No got? A one star review comes

1323
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: from bg la V one star. That subject language dot

1324
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: dot dot listening with my eight year old when they

1325
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: dropped the F word. Thought maybe a one time thing.

1326
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: Consistent use of foul language throughout a no explicit tag,

1327
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: decent content analysis, but can't listen with my kids and

1328
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: not having the explicit tag makes it feel like you're

1329
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: hiding it. Listen. I love you, buddy, I hope you

1330
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: come back. The funck word's not going anywhere. We're saying it.

1331
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,919
Speaker 1: We couldn't say it for years. We were we were

1332
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: kept behind what I don't even know what the right

1333
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: word is. We were prisoner. Yeah, behind closed doors. We

1334
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:14,400

00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,040

Speaker 1: I'd go back every I serve every single day.

1340
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,040

1341
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 3: which is funny, but I mean maybe just toning it

1342
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 3: down from like twelve episodes like six episode, which is yeah,
