15
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: a little bit of a bad taste.

16
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: In our mouth, and do with a little bit of

17
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: a bad taste in my mouth. But after watching those

18
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: two games on Saturday and Sunday, we didn't Eve deserve

19
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: to win either of them. No twenty one. I'm what, Yeah, No,

20
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: you're right, You're right. I don't think so. I don't

21
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: even think this team played really great. But I think

22
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: we just saw how a team built this way has

23
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: so many avenues to win games you don't deserve to win.

24
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot of good players who can do a

25
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: lot of good things kind of at the snap of finger.

26
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: Were At the same time, there was a lot kinds

27
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: of that didn't love this weekend. I mean, take take

28
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: me the spot where you want to start. You want

29
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: to go game Saturday Sunday. You want to just talk

30
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: big picture stuff. Ah, let's talk. Let's save big picture

31
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: for the end. Let's go. Let's go through the games.

32
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: There goes the light. That was I got one minute

33
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: of the light, so hopefully you got to stick around

34
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: the real one, stick around with the l after the light.

35
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: Light goes out, mets up after dark. Let's go, Let's

36
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: go Sunday. Let's get the bat out of the way. Okay, again,

37
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: this was a baseball game that the mess did not

38
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: to serve to win. No, I really don't think that's

39
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: any way they did. And the problem is that it

40
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: was so winnable in the end, which is the most

41
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: frustrating part about this, especially because it felt like there

42
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: were legitimate, unforced errors by us that caused us to lose.

43
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: I think the two that most people are focused on

44
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: right now is one to send on Lindor in the

45
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: tenth inning. It's crazy. We got the first two guys

46
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: on the tenth down by one, so they at the

47
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: play drives the doubles the left center field. The Pirates

48
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: don't even have a really good relay and the door

49
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: is still out by two steps, and like, yeah, it's

50
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: just it' see the old baseball adage, you don't ever

51
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: want to make the first out at home plate, especially

52
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: in a one run game, and you did, and then

53
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: you did not get the run home after that, it

54
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: was that was kind of painful to say.

55
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't love to send, like you said, two

56
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: bad throws. I like the thought process.

57
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: I like being aggressive because I do think at times

58
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: last year this team was not aggressive enough. And I

59
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: do like the idea of the Pirates are so bad defensively,

60
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: and we heard Carlos Mendoza talk about this that the

61
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: Mets plan to be aggressive specifically against the Pirates, of

62
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: making them make a play. They didn't make the prior

63
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: to plays to get to that last play, but they

64
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: made the one that mattered the most and Lindor was out.

65
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: I also didn't love seeing him in the dugout afterwards,

66
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: like kind of kind of grimacing and stretching his shoulder

67
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: out a little. Yeah, ugly slide.

68
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: Makes me a little bit nervous just about that kind

69
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: of stuff in general.

70
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: That's also not why they lost the game. No, I mean,

71
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: there was just a lot of opportunities to score they

72
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: didn't cash in on there was. Again, I wouldn't even

73
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: say they pitched that poorly. The other thing I want

74
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: to talk about McClean in a second. The other thing

75
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: is that we're back to strange ballpend decisions. Yeah, where

76
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: we've come out. We came out of the game we

77
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: played Opening Day and it was kind of mostly a blowout,

78
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: not a full blow up. We didn't really use the

79
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: extent of the a bullpen. We thought that guys would

80
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: not have been available in two extra inning games, your

81
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: second and third games a season. Now, this is a

82
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: bit taxing. But for the tenth inning of this game,

83
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: the Mets went to back to Dickie love Lady, who

84
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: second day in a row. And I'll say this, people

85
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: are really getting on Dickey love Lady right now. Dicky

86
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: Lovelady crushed it on Saturday. He worked through a scoreless

87
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: eleventh inning that was almost oh gah, one. I think

88
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: giving up I could said that giving up one an

89
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: extra inning pretty yeah, run for him, Yeah, pretty clean,

90
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: And that was an absolute miracle. But then in this game,

91
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: and then Carlsonoz gave his reasons for it afterwards. It

92
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: was the fact that Brooks Railey was unavailable, Devin Williams unavailable,

93
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: didn't mention anything about Tobias Myers through two three innings.

94
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: One of that, Dicky Lovely threw twenty one pitches himself

95
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: in the eleventh inning on Saturday, and he was the

96
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: guy going back to back, which to me that echoes

97
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: the thing that we heard from Ottavino in the offseason

98
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: that the Mets are kind of okay with using their

99
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: relievers as a bit of a meat market, where it's like, oh,

100
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: the ones we care about, we don't want to push

101
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: them in March. But Dicky Lovelady, we've cut hi nineteen

102
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: times in the last twelve months anyway, Yeah, we don't care.

103
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: What is Dickey Lovelaly? That's that was the vibe he

104
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: got from that. Yeah, Like, if we know my opinions

105
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: on Dickie love Lady, I was tired of him when

106
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: we were in Miami doing the WBC episodes, and I

107
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: was like, if I see a sign Dicky Love Lady

108
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: one more time, like enough, and I hate that we

109
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: see him pitching as much as he has already. This

110
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: is a bigger problem.

111
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna put this one on David Stearns more

112
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: than Mendoza right now. This is a big problem of

113
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: having the two long guys of Tobias Myers and sham

114
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: and I in the bullpen right now is there's there's

115
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: just not actually enough arms for when they need to,

116
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: especially when shaum and I is only gonna go one

117
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: and a third, Like if shaum and I is only

118
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: gonna go basically, I mean, I know he cleaned up

119
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: for uh Brazoban, but if he's gonna basically pitch two winnings,

120
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: and you also don't have Myers because you used him

121
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: earlier in the week, this bullpen is very, very very limited.

122
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: And then on top of that, if two guys are unavailable,

123
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: like what what was the plan? I don't love Dicky

124
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: Love Lady, but he had he pitched when he was

125
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 2: called upon.

126
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: I don't think he's very good, but whatever, so I'd

127
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: be flips oud of that. I don't think you ever

128
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: plan for a tenth inning and thin you probably build

129
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: out plans for nine, sure, and I think they got

130
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: themselves through nine knowing who was available and who's unavailable.

131
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: And that's what I was saying before. Then go to

132
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: the meat market, Dickie, love lady, or send them down.

133
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: We don't care. It just it just more so sucks

134
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: that in today's game there was there was basically only

135
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: three relievers available in this game, yeah, more or less.

136
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: And also one of them mishewm and I who I

137
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: do think we had an off day this week, by

138
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: the way, Yeah, and they had an off day and

139
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: the intention and the first game of the season Tobias

140
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: Master with three inks of relief. I know. So you

141
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: basically a two game sample here were again, you played

142
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: twenty one innings. That's more you're supposed to play two games,

143
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: So you have to change the plan a little bit.

144
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: But another thing is if Seauan and I is going

145
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: to be a long man, you probably just need him

146
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: to record more outs. He has to be a long man.

147
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: And I do think that it got to a point

148
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: it with Sean and I where it was like, I

149
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: don't I didn't want him to go back out for

150
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: an additional inning. No, he looked, he didn't look good. No,

151
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: he did not throw a pitch in ninety miles an hour. Again,

152
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: zero pitches like touch ninety. He got a couple eighty

153
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 1: nine point eight that registers nineties, but they weren't true nineties.

154
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: We love trew nineties here, and the way he's he's

155
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: pitching right now with that forcing fastball, it can't crack ninety.

156
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I don't know how Sean and

157
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: I could be consistent. It gets right handed bathers. It

158
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: feels impossible. So again, like you're in a spot where

159
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: you said you had Luke Weaver, you said you definitely

160
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: didn't have Brooks Railime. We threw like thirteen pitches yesterday, Yeah,

161
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: which is interesting, and Devin Williams for twenty three. So

162
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: I guess then March you give the guy an extra

163
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: day off. But if this day off tomorrow, it did

164
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: feel like it was like, oh, we're just gonna throw

165
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: a Dicky love Lady to the wolves, which again makes

166
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: it even makes the send with Lindor worse. Yes, Like

167
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: sending Lindor to me is kind of playing for the

168
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: tie instead of playing for the win. Ah, what do

169
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: you think we can No, I think it's still playing

170
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: for the wind.

171
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: I think it's an aggressive play for the win because

172
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: if they wouldn't have scored that Lindor run, now you've

173
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: got the winning run on second base, and you're you're

174
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 2: cooking with fire that you got no outs man on second.

175
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: You could you could play the small ball game if

176
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: you want to. But that's why I'm saying. I think

177
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: that was more so just crawl my throat, playing for

178
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: the ties, because you're being extra aggressive to tie the game,

179
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: acknowledging that there's a greater chance to lose that out

180
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: of the plate, you're still down by one and you

181
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: only have a guy in second base. Okay, I see,

182
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: I can see that came for the tie. Yeah, I

183
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: think played for the win would have been holding back.

184
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: Having the no outs and the two guys on that's

185
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more pressure. Again, neither hear nor there. Yes,

186
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: let us know about the first nonsense messed up arguing

187
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: in the season in the comments that nothing the target

188
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: target Hunter backs. Part two is that playing for the

189
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: tire playing for the win, yead. I can't wait for

190
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: that conversation this year.

191
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, Like, I don't

192
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: want Dicky love Lady on this team again.

193
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: I think alternative, someone who's better? Who's that? Who's who's better?

194
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: It's the season going, Sea's begun. I mean, you'll get

195
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: your wish tomorrow. Good. I can't wait to see Austin

196
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: Warren on this roster. But also the reason a Dicky

197
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: Lovelacey specifically is important right now is because we know

198
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: Sean and I is kind of half a long man

199
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: where his usage seems to have to be a bit manicured.

200
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is also bore par for

201
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: the course or not, but through a lot of that

202
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: game on Saturday, he was in the dugout for a

203
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: good chunk of it. So I wasn't exactly sure if

204
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: like maybe Manaia instill in like a long man role,

205
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: would they want him to get back to quasi starting

206
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: maybe like he has it day, you know what I mean?

207
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: Like Sean and Iya knows he's pitching, so you know,

208
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: he only threw twenty nine pitches.

209
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: How is he supposed to get back to being a

210
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: starter if he's only gonna even throw twenty nine pitches

211
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: in appearance and pitch probably every three four days.

212
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: This was also why early in the season and now

213
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: he's spring training when Carlos Mendez very defiantly said, like

214
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: Tobias Myers is on the major league roster, that's why

215
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: I caught me off guard, because, like you said, like

216
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: it's become a very strange bullpen alignment. With Tobias Myers

217
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: throws forty pitches in the game, he does probably need

218
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: three days off. Yeah, like a lot of pitches, and

219
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: that's one of your low key beather relievers kind of

220
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: at the same time, so it's like, is it more

221
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: valuable for him to be able to throw three mop

222
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: up innings in that game on Thursday, when then you

223
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: actually still can't date today TAXI open again. I think

224
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: with MA and I and Dicky Love ladies that if

225
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: any as a manicured long man and Brooks Raley cannot

226
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: throw him back to back days, you just do need

227
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: another lefty. But then also your lefties Dickey Love lady,

228
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: and this is what happens. I guess that's that's the

229
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: flip side of it. Sorry, guys, I just cleared my

230
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: threat O. I did it right to the mic bat

231
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: At the same time, too, you can't have two long

232
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: men and not have one be a long man. I

233
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: think Sean and I theoretically is a long man. But

234
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: then I think in that situation on Sunday, you were like,

235
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: I actually don't want him to pitch anymore. That's that's bad.

236
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: I know. It's a similar thing that just happened over

237
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: the weekend with Carlos Stevas and the Royals, where it's like, oh,

238
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: we just watched spring training. We know the stuff is

239
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: not there. Do you want to get the save? Yeah,

240
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: and you can't do so. I actually do kind of credit.

241
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: I think Carls Mendoza probably at that moment, was like, Okay,

242
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: if I pull Sean and I here, Dicky might have

243
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: to get through an inning.

244
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: That's why I said I blame more David Stearns for this. Yeah,

245
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: it's messed right now, not Carlos Mendoza.

246
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: This is also kind of the game within the game

247
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: that we got a little bit frustrated with day Vid

248
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: Stearns last year, where it felt like again, now all

249
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden, first beginning season, we're trying to thread

250
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: the needle and this is this is kind of like

251
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: these are first world problems. We should have swept the

252
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: pirates if we won two out of three correct, but

253
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: the sweep was so within reach that the fat's kind

254
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: of how this frustration has mounted a bit shot my

255
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: boy Carmen Maginsky though, to hell of a game. Yeah,

256
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: that's how he per has the name Majinsky. Majinsky. Wow,

257
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: I never really got that.

258
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: I think we're talking about that in the booth today

259
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,359
Speaker 2: they were like, I think the craziest.

260
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: Thing about this guy is that's how you say his name.

261
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: They're like, no way, But again was it was a

262
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: lot of needle threading, and it felt like needles didn't

263
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: really have to be threaded. You know what I liked

264
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: about Game one? Beat the piss out of them? Yeah,

265
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: crush them. I don't like needle threading. Want I want

266
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: to beat the piss out of the teams we play.

284
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: Well. Game one with seventy degrees. Saturday was forty show

285
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: everyone Saturday stuck in that ballpark for the walkoff, and

286
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: then Sunday again was not. It wasn't. It was still

287
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: a nice day. It was very sunny and it was warmer,

288
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: but it was still not. It was fifty felt like

289
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: forty two, I believe, was what the weather m app said.

290
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: Sure the wind is blowing out there, flushing it quickly

291
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: got on to get some more bigger picture stuff from Saturage.

292
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: That was a fun game I though Nolan McClain at

293
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: a great start like this was one of those starts

294
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: that you see from like guys who are in the

295
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: upper tier of the league where they start poorly and

296
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: you worry that things should get off the rails and

297
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: they don't really have their best stuff and they make

298
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: an in game adjustment and you're like, oh, this is

299
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: against still one of the best pitches, so bear down.

300
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: He was so fastball heavy that first time around. The

301
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: oiler and the lefties were all over it. Even through

302
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: the beginning of that second time around the other Brandon

303
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: Lao just ravashed us again. I don't know what that kitler.

304
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: Look what that guy did this offseason, but he's ready

305
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: to go. But then once he got through that, Brandon

306
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: Lao at bad the fastballs were gone, especially from the lefties,

307
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: and the curveball and the change up came back out.

308
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: Those pitches were both diabolical. So that low home run

309
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: that was just like the WBC home runs from Nolan

310
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: McLain was a fastball to a lefty middle belt, high

311
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: tough to It doesn't matter how hard you throw, but

312
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: straight they're gonna hit it. It's one hundred, you probably

313
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: get through it. But again that was that fastball was

314
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: ninety five twenty eight miles per hour. Tho was the

315
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: third slowest fastball Nolan McLain threw. After that, he threw

316
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: two fastballs. Was the breakdown of him.

317
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: Like you said, he threw a lot of fastballs that

318
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: first time through the order, especially to lefties. You think

319
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: that's McLain maybe doing like kind of an old schoolish baseball.

320
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: I think possible talk about where it's like, try and

321
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: get through the lineup without showing them everything.

322
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: He threw fifteen to four seam fastballs in the first

323
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: three innings and f that blow home run, he threw two.

324
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: Like that's like what you see the great pictures do,

325
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: where it's like, let me see what I can get through,

326
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: and then I bring out a new wrinkle, and then

327
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: I bring out a new wrinkle, and then you're like, oh,

328
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: ninety pitches complete game. I think that's exactly what he

329
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: intended to do. But I think right now maybe it's

330
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: a command thing earlier in the season, but the way

331
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: that he's just not getting that fastball by lefties enough

332
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: where you might have to do an extra trick. But

333
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: then again, once he started throwing that curveball like it

334
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: was great. The pitching ninja gifts were everywhere, like that

335
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: backfoot one he did to Oneo Cruz and did another

336
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: one of his Noel McLain pitching ninja. He was like,

337
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you guys, like this is one of

338
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: the best pictures of baseball we shouted out this offseason,

339
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: Like that podcast that they did together. It was like

340
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: one of the c's things I've ever seen. Oh yeah,

341
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: like change was so excited talking to Nolan McLay and

342
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: Nolan McLain is much more of a reserved guy. Was cool,

343
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: seemed like break out a show a little bit talk.

344
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: Also shout out Wassco Bross. I fucking love him. Yeah,

345
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: he's great. I mean just love him again. Like finding

346
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: a lot of decent things talk about in this game.

347
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: But I think another thing that this kind of underscore.

348
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: I think get first game for the door, wants hit

349
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: the crap out of the ball. Look, I thought Horry

350
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: Planko also did it in the tenth I know, I

351
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: was listening to the end of the game on the

352
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: radio coming home from a shot my cousin Rob. But

353
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: it was an old bridge. Today for thirtieth birthday, party

354
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: the Old Bridge Jersey. But Keith rad got me out

355
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: of my seat for that call. I was, I was.

356
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: I thought he caught it too, but I was kind

357
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: of frustrating. Baby. Also, that nice hitting run with Brett

358
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: Bady and Luis Robert like that. God, I love that

359
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: five to six You the four right there, that was awesome.

360
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: Sent Me took some tough at bats even though he

361
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: had the sack fly benj Also, besides, the home run

362
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: looks a bit overmatch right now. They're just blowing fastballs

363
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: by him. Yeah, that's so, it's interesting. But let's let's

364
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: move on a big picture on Saturday. Yeah, Saturday, let's

365
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: talk about that. Not a great game by the Mets,

366
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: but a great game by the Mets, if that makes

367
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: any sort of sense, because again, similarly, they had no

368
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: business winning this game.

369
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: They did not play particularly well. We can talk about

370
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: some of the guys that didn't play well, but for

371
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: the guys to step up in the end, Mark Fiento's

372
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: big hit gets his a bat against a lefty, cold

373
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: off the bench, gets a hit.

374
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: I had no faith in him. Prove me wrong. Shout

375
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: out Mark Viento's love to see that keep proving us

376
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: wrong all year long, Mark Fiento's I want to see

377
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,479
Speaker 1: you succeed and Louise Torenz after they took the Calvarez

378
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: to pinch run for Tyrone Taylor, Louise Torenz gets a

379
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: chance at bat because again the Mets can't end a game.

380
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: Big hit from Louise Torenz, like, that's really cool to

381
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: see those guys step up.

382
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 2: And then of course we gotta talk about my boy.

383
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: You might be met noticing on YouTube. I'm wearing a

384
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: white Sox jersey. It's because it's my Louis Robert jersey. Robert.

385
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: It's gonna take a second for me to get that one.

386
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: Louise Robert, man, I love him, it's happening.

387
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: I was jumping up and down in my apartment hit

388
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: that home run. Also just on the weakest swing like that.

389
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: But that's the kind of thing that we talked about

390
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: with getting him where it's like putting a lightning rod

391
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: like that, who doesn't have a lot of pressure on them,

392
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: who has a natural ability that he has and that

393
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: type of power speed, great series defensively for Louis Robert

394
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, just basically to bail you out, to

395
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: have like a secret superstar in the Matt back Mill

396
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: of your line to bail you out in a game

397
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: where a lot of other things went wrong like that.

398
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: That's a beautiful thing to have and that was a

399
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: really fun moment to see that and crush it off

400
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: a lefty he is. He is so awesome. I love you,

401
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: know me.

402
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 2: When I go home to my parents' house in New Jersey,

403
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: I will turn on S and Y after the games

404
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: late late night, like one am, as I'm getting ready

405
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: to fall asleep, and I will watch those guys talk

406
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: about baseball because it's kind of it's a fun exercise

407
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: to kind of hear outside of the echo chamber that's

408
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: like me, you, and like kind of the people that

409
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: we listen to for baseball takes.

410
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: It's nice to get a fresh take, whether it's good

411
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: or not. Most of the time, it's pretty horrible to

412
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: hear like the guys on S.

413
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: And YG and I won't call out any names, but

414
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: talking about like, oh, I don't care about Louise Robert.

415
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: He chases he walked a couple times. That's nice, but

416
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: he's gonna chase a lot. That's what you're gonna get.

417
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 2: I just hope he stays healthy. It's like, no, this

418
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 2: is a ballplayer. And also shout out Gary Cohen kind

419
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: of kind of inadvertedly corrected people about Louise Robert Robers

420
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 2: changes that he's made. He's like, while he's been bad,

421
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: he's actually gotten way more patient at the plate and

422
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: making great swing decisions, chasing less he goes. These are

423
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: all the reasons why he made a great It was

424
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: such a good fit with the New York Mets, get

425
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: him in a winning environment, and I couldn't agree more.

426
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: That's what me and you were preaching about for the

427
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: last year and a half. One hundred percent. He's sortaedly

428
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: drawn a bunch of walk so five season that beat

429
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: the balls could and that was good. That great about

430
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 1: the one against Keans changed that entire game on Thursday,

431
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: But it was a moment with that home run where

432
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: he didn't even have to play his a swing on

433
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: a ball on like the Colu hopefully the coldest game

434
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: this team has to play this year. And again, like

435
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: I said, you bail you bail out the guys because

436
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: the ning before it was one of the worst displayers

437
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: think of situation hitting I've ever seen. It was from

438
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: the best three the best twenty hitters in all baseball

439
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: with Linto so though in Bouschett with the bases loaded,

440
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: nobody out and not bring in a run like that

441
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: was that was tough. Angefully, that felt like mister Barco

442
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: made a hell of a play off those sensational play

443
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: and that so though Dribbler so the walls got gotta

444
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: put a presso by basis Montgomery did. Yeah, that was

445
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: that was rough to see. But it was also the

446
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: same thing in the seventh inning where it was baby

447
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: semin and bench against them gregorys tho and I also

448
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: we always want to call out the weird process things

449
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: that we see with this team. We're talking about with

450
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: the bullpench just now with Stearns to leave Carson Benj

451
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: in when you still had Tyron Taylor on the bench

452
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 1: in the seventh, but then the pinch hit for him

453
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: when you didn't when you already burned Tyrone Taylor in

454
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: the tenth. I thought was interesting processing. It worked out

455
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: Mark fianzs got the hit, but ben benj got overpowered

456
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: by your boy Gregory So though I know Gregory so sucks,

457
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: but boy did he have a great weekend against that yeah,

458
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: good weekend. The fastball seemed to be the problem right

459
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: now for Bench, the velo seems to be the issue.

460
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: He's just just a little bit behind on those guys,

461
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: which is a little concerning as we move forward. But

462
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: I again, I'm gonna look at that that time about

463
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: a thousand feet away right now, Carson Carson Met just

464
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: having fun. He's playing good defense. Yes, he got past

465
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: the bird dropping dead next to him. Diana the Queen,

466
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: she found a funny video on the s Y broadcast.

467
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: She loves. She does so good at capturing the b

468
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: roll and putting it on Twitter. The target. All these

469
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: literally the only Mets fans, but every single Mets fan

470
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: who follows her, and you guys all should definitely appreciates

471
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: her infinitely. There was like a bird who flew overhead

472
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: yesterday and Saturday, and Carson Beach looked at it and

473
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: like like a half a flinch because he's like watching

474
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: a dead bird dropped next to him. But that I

475
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: think all kind of on Saturday got taken away luckily again.

476
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: Louise Robert Robert, I can't say Robert Robert, rob Robert,

477
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: Robert Robert Robert, Robert, Robert Robert Robert. They said the

478
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: press like Robert Robert, Robert Robert, Okay, we're just cutting

479
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: off the t Robert Robert Robert, Okay, Louise Robert. I'm

480
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: so excited for him. I'm so happy that became the story,

481
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: because the story in the for most of this game,

482
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: besides the situation I thinking, like we just touched on,

483
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: was the bulboushed adventure at third and I texted you

484
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: about because we know. Unfortunately, I've been one of the

485
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: most vocal people about my opinions on Bobachett playing third base,

486
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: and again it's not from a hater standpoint. I want

487
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: Bobachette to be able to play third base. I'm begging

488
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: him to be able to play third base. He can't

489
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: do it. This is a position he's not gonna be

490
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: able to play. I wouldn't say at this point he's

491
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: not going to be able to play it, but I

492
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: mean I could play it, but I'm not gonna play it.

493
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's what he's doing. I think he's

494
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 2: playing third base. I don't think I don't think he's

495
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 2: equipped to play the position. It feels like things are

496
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: moving way too fast for him at.

497
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 1: Third base right now. Also, I feel like there are

498
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: times he tries to slow it down, but then also

499
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: it's hard. Then he starts thinking he's just I think

500
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: he's very clear thinking about it a lot. Yes. Like

501
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: so there was the three plays on Saturday where the

502
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: first was a ball that he grabbed he kind of

503
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: like scythe arm, sailed the throw, and then Hory Planco

504
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: got off the bass able to draw the tag on

505
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: whoever was a slow runner there, No, he was safe.

506
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: He didn't get him. I thought he got him on

507
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: that play. Is there two of those that I geak?

508
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: That was the first one okay, okay, and then the

509
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: next one after that was the range charging a ball

510
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: that kind of had a little side spin on and

511
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: he was kind of cutting off Lindor in the hole,

512
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: which was good instincts by him, but they took a

513
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: little shuffle step and for some reason he went from

514
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: his forehand to his backhand and like a backhand stab,

515
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: where I was like, why did you do that? And

516
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: then the one that everyone got clipped and I mean

517
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: I put on my twilter was won the fourth inning,

518
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: whereas I feel like it was someone fast running. I'm

519
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: trying to I think it was Brian Reynolds running. Yes,

520
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: it was number ten. Who's number ten the Pirates, that's true.

521
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: I think that's Triolo, that's true. He's not the fast

522
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: guy in the league. He's not slow. And Troll's got

523
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: to bust out of the box. Trillo was nineteen. Brian

524
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: Reynolds is then okay, renlds, Brian Ronds can move a

525
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: little bit, and he also busts out of the box.

526
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: Bobaschet came in on the ball, but not hard. He

527
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: took the right hop on it, and then he did

528
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: a double clutch crow hop and tried to cork a

529
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: throw and it was way up the line, nowhere close,

530
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: and Triolla was safe. And that was and even with

531
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: a good throw, I don't know if he had him

532
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: because he took way too long to try and throw

533
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: the ball. I mean he did. He did the double

534
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: tap in the glove and you crow hopped a little bit.

535
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: And that was the third time after that four innings.

536
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: He did make a good play at a foul ball

537
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: that got caught up in tons of and the inning

538
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: before too, so it wasn't all bad. But when you're

539
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: in a situation like Bobachette, the ball seems to find you.

540
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: And then the other reason the ball seemed to find

541
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: them because David Peterson was on the mound. He throws

542
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: touch of sinkers. Yeah. So I asked a very very simple,

543
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: I thought an acuous question on Twitter. It was like,

544
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: I wonder how Richard the Mets are going to be

545
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: with Bishett at third when you have Brett Batty standing there.

546
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: And that was one of the biggest questions that we

547
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: asked the episode last week, questions for the Mets heading

548
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: into the season.

549
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 2: I think not enough people are talking about that enough

550
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: where it's like, why isn't Brett Baby playing, Like even

551
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: if you want to get Bobaschett at third base, right, like,

552
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 2: put him in the games where the guys are throwing

553
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 2: fly balls, like Freddy Perulta gives him fly balls, right,

554
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 2: Am I correcting that? Yeah, put him at third base

555
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 2: for Freddy Perolta games. And that was that was my

556
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 2: point there, And we see a lot of other teams

557
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: across the league do this.

558
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: We saw on Friday night the Tigers completely changed their

559
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: infield defensive alignment when they have fran Vivalda's on the mound.

560
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: They took out labor Totors. Was not the best second

561
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: basement of this points career. They put Zach mckissry in

562
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: the lineup. They have your boys and che McGonagall and

563
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: the middle infield. It was a very nice defensive alignment.

564
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: We saw this also. We see this a lot of

565
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: times with young hitlers, Like think about it this way,

566
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: Jack Haglion against Chris Sale, he didn't play and the

567
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: Royals mackail trade was like, we're going to play him

568
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: against a lot of lefties, but that's not a lot

569
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: of lefties. I think that's fair. When that's fair when

570
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: you're trying to build someone's confidence up and bring them

571
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: up to speed, like I think it's okay for Bobashett. Again,

572
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: we don't know what's happened behind the scenes with Bobachek contract.

573
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: We'll know if this was something that was promised, we'll

574
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: know if it has to be there. I don't know,

575
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: but I'll to me, you have two pictures in our

576
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: rotation who are groundball demons and three that they're not.

577
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: I think one game a week at DH doesn't sound

578
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: like the worst thing in the world. So you're talking

579
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: Peterson Holmes or you throw McLean in there too. Oh yeah,

580
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: three out of five. That I was like, okay, yeah,

581
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: so three out of five. So I guess that probably

582
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: is too much then to do. But then also like

583
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: the ball's going to find him, there might be some

584
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: bad places I think to the problem. And you've hinted

585
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:46,239
Speaker 1: to this before too.

586
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: I think Bashett is taking the defense to the plate,

587
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,239
Speaker 2: and that's the thing that's concerning me a little bit.

588
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: And the reason I say this is because I mentioned

589
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: it on the opening day episode, because I saw him

590
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 2: on the third base line and it's such a unique

591
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: angle that you don't get anywhere else unless you're physically

592
00:23:59,600 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 2: at the game.

593
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 1: And I told you it and you notice it now.

594
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 2: He is wrapping his bat so incredibly hard, and that's

595
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 2: why Bobachett is not catching up to any pitch.

596
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: Because he's wrapping his bat, his swing is theoretically getting longer.

597
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: What it truly is is that he's starting his swing

598
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: later because I think he's trying to hit the ten

599
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: run home run. I think because he knows that there's

600
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: not much defense that he's going to bring to the

601
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: table right now, or that he hasn't brought to the table,

602
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: that he's trying to be the hero every single time

603
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: he steps to the plate, and that means that Bobaschet

604
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: is going to take the hardest swing that he ever takes.

605
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: But that also means that Bobaschet is wrapping his bat,

606
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: making him start his swing longer.

607
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: He has not pieced up a fastball. He hasn't come

608
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 2: even close to really hitting a ball particularly well. And

609
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 2: I think this is why it's just it's a mechanical fix.

610
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 2: Maybe it's even a mental clear the head get on

611
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 2: the road a little bit here. Don't love the boo

612
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: birds coming out for Bobaschett though early.

613
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: I don't love that. No, I don't either, But I

614
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: think he's the kind of guy's personality's equipped to handle it.

615
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: And I also I don't think that he's doing in

616
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: like kind of overswing knowledging. He's not going to help

617
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: on defense. But I think it's just him. Like we said,

618
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: I think the game move is moving fast for him

619
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, like just a lot is happening for

620
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: him in those chances in the field, and it's like, Okay,

621
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to totally block them out of

622
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: your mind and he's also he confronted this in the

623
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: postgame Prastic conference on Sunday. Two quotes I thought really

624
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: stuck with me, one him saying, I definitely felt that

625
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: wanting to have a moment not only for my teammates

626
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: but for the fans and everything. Yep. So again they're

627
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: the acknowledging the fan reactions. That's what you don't boo.

628
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: And then another one kind of being talking with cheek

629
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: about which I liked. If anything, I thought it took

630
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: too long for them to boo him. I get it.

631
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: I thought my bass were terrible. Yeah, like, okay, both

632
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: both and this is really nippicking basically two games like

633
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: Boba Schet's great baseball player. I would be fine. I

634
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: have no concerns really about anything. I even think after

635
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: a few months of this, I think the defense will

636
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: be at least adequate, which I think is the goal here.

637
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: But I think it's also a spot where similar to

638
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: how you bring a young player on against tough pitchers,

639
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: like we said about other teams manicuring defense depending on

640
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: who's on the mound. And that was all I wanted

641
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: to ask that question on Twitter. Sometimes it's like, oh

642
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: God forbid you ask a question. What happens on Twitter

643
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: a lot now, more so than I think Twitter even

644
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: in the old days, because old Twitter rocked, loved old Twitter.

645
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: Miss old Twitter. People see something, read it in their

646
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: own language, and completely changed the wording of what you said,

647
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: Like you asked that question and people were probably like

648
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: fuck you for you think shit sucks. Fuck you. Yeah,

649
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: that's how I said at all. It was just like

650
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: you have a I mean, it was also about phrasing it.

651
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: With Brett Baty being on the roster whenever we've had

652
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: three games a season August right handed pictures. Brettey started

653
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: all three of them, which I think should be the case.

654
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: Is bat warrants that, but he dhed for two of

655
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: them and he played first space for the other one.

656
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: It's like first base, like yeah, it's like he can

657
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: look bad at first space either on Sunday. But it

658
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: didn't have as much exposure as Bobachett had in those

659
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: few games, and kind of Horri Blanco as well. But

660
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: it's a situation where that was the only question. I

661
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: do wonder how rigid this plan is. You're paying the

662
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: guy a lot of money and has a chance for him.

663
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: It's a one year contract where it's in his best

664
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: interest to be playing the field and proving he can

665
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: do that as much as possible. Every Brett Boboschett takes

666
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:58,959
Speaker 1: to going to get him closer to being a good

667
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: third basement. Maybe it is you do have a better

668
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: You do certainly have a better defensive third basement on

669
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: the rosters. That's where the question lies. And we've had

670
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: the conversation to about how putting Bret Baty ATDH actually

671
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: completely handcuffs them defensively. Yeah, we said that too, because

672
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: then you can't make it late. But also that again,

673
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: that's why I'm kind of saying it's probably just more

674
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: complicated than this. It has to be, has to be

675
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: because it's it's too obvious. It's not even that's too

676
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: odd again or again this also was being a little

677
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: silly because like, oh, you pay the guy a lot

678
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: of money, he might be here for three years. You

679
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: said you're gonna make him the third basement. And he

680
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: did the video with David right like this is the

681
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: men's new third basement, so he's the third baseman. But

682
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: it's also like, yeah, sixty percent of our pictures going

683
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,239
Speaker 1: to a lot of ground balls and there's a guy

684
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: who's designated hit who is probably better at putting those

685
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: ground balls like glove of getting them the first base.

686
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 2: Just as we've said, all this defense stuff goes away,

687
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 2: though if Bobachett hits. As long as Bobachhett hits, we

688
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: will overlook the defense for sure.

689
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: Keith made a great comment about this to from the

690
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: first basement's perspective, So I also think a lot of

691
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: this gets exasperated by the fact that we have a

692
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: first basement. Again, I think Plank was doing a fine

693
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: job first already was just no experience. It's it's it's

694
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: the little things. And Keith said that when Hoojo's messed

695
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: their basement, he was at first that the Hojo has

696
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: been a side armor. So a lot of times Hojo's throw,

697
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: similar to a lot of these Bishet miss throws so far,

698
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: would sail close to the home plate. So Keith would

699
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: give him a setup that was closer to right field

700
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: and that would kind of naturally anchor Hojo's eyes and

701
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: his aim, and that ball wind up come more straight

702
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: to him. So again that's probably something that comes experience.

703
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: Kay kra is going to get with these guys are

704
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: gonna I'm sure they're going to get Teue to work

705
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: on things every single day, but it is a situation

706
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: that I'm monitoring right now. As a message. That being said,

707
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: I think Bobachet's gonna be fine, but about as bad

708
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: as an opening day weekend as you could have had. Yeah,

709
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: it's basically the worst possible, and I expect that to

710
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: be the worst at Bobachette plays. I don't expect it

711
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: to get any worse. Only one hundred nineteen rbs to

712
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: one twenty. Man, he's had so many opportunities he could have.

713
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 2: He could have had like he could have had eight

714
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: after this weekend. Yeah, I mean Bobaschett lead the RBI

715
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: is still is still in play.

716
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: He's still in play. He look up, any guys get

717
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: on base in front of him. That was the whole

718
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: nextus to the idea and also your boy Luist Carsia.

719
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: He was down three ticks compared to last year.

720
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 4: He is cooked.

721
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: He probably can't be the Pavis start in ninety four.

722
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: This is this is the conversation that I had with you.

723
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: And again I know why the Mets are doing it,

724
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 2: and I understand what's going on. But now with him

725
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: and Dicky love Lady on this in the bullpen. Now

726
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 2: we have even less arms that you can.

727
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: Actually rely on. My God, Joe hit me up to

728
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: good Twitter friend Ryan Lambers said ninety five for Syracuse

729
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and his own rate was like ten percent

730
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: in that fastball. Don't love to hear that. I'm sure

731
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: it was freezing, so I'm going to chalk it up

732
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: to that. But that was something that made me a

733
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: little bit nervous. But the Electian's got come up. But again,

734
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,479
Speaker 1: do you want to have another long man, just make him,

735
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: just make him an inny guy, make him a reliever.

736
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: But if he's a reliever, he's how it's gonna be

737
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: starting next year. You got two hundred this year. If

738
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: you want to start next year, bitchm one hundred times. Yeah,

739
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna work.

740
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 2: Give him the page, Feliciano. It's a day that ends,

741
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: and why come back out. Dave Pearson looked good, but

742
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 2: for a big reason.

743
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: It's kind of because some of those bobachhet Era is

744
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: like he couldn't get through the sixth and similar with

745
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: Nolan McLain, like the way those first two winnings went.

746
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: He also couldn't get past the fifth, so like it

747
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: did feel like there was a second where we were

748
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: kind of warped back into last year's vortex oh a million.

749
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: It was not a fun feeling, except for Louis Robert

750
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: God I fucking Robert Robert, Robert Robert. I love Louise Robert. Apparent.

751
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: There's a big to do on Mets Twitter right now,

752
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: if you can call him lou Bob or not. Apparently,

753
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: he said in a Chicago White Sox Aye who doesn't

754
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: like lou Bob. I've scoured the internet. I can't find

755
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: anything on it, so I'm gonna task Rob Colonna. I

756
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 2: know you know you'll find out the answer.

757
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: Rob.

758
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: I know you will send it to me in a

759
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 2: DM if you find out whether it's true or not.

760
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 2: I will stop calling him lou Bob when those facts

761
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: are proven.

762
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 4: Right.

763
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm still big things to watch. I guess

764
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: for us next week, as we had to Saint Louis.

765
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: We'll get to that a second got quick media marvel

766
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: before them, but a serious preview. Look at that. We

767
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: keep We're gonna keep watching the bubishit defense. We're gonna

768
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: keep watching the Mets bullpen deployments like those are the

769
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: two big hot button issues for Mets fans. Yeah, great weekend,

770
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: great weekend. Oh my god, the mesa one hundred ten

771
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: games and we need picts for a half hours. Yeah, incredible.

772
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to be known feeling very good about this team. No, fantastic,

773
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: But I do want to do a quick media marvel

774
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: because there's there's like week there's people don't know how

775
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: to talk anymore. No, not at all. I wanted this

776
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: is there's been a debate that if you guys are

777
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: perpetually online, like Mark and I, especially me, there's been

778
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: a debate going around Twitter of which who are more

779
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: Mets fans or Yankees fans? Real New Yorkers, And it's like,

780
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: first question is why why are we talking about this

781
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: right now? The way you are? This is what happens.

782
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: We have all these off days built into the early

783
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: part of the season. We're just not talking about baseball enough.

784
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: But Ross Barkin didn't know what person was before that.

785
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: He writes for New York mag He's er Chye for

786
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: the Met Review. He did a double tweet where I

787
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: was just like, what are you talking about? And the

788
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: internet got after him. This baseball season is a reminder

789
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: of all the laptop gentrifier class Mets fans who operate

790
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: in my sphere. He put in quotes and pollute my air. However,

791
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: I will offer an olive branch. David Startins had very

792
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: good Offsie's a strong roster enjoyed. So again, just being

793
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: combative to Mets fans seemingly as as like an uptight

794
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: Yankee fan, then you like triple quadruple down on this

795
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: take the Mets fans. The Mets fan base doesn't really

796
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: send its best like a meaning in the douchey way

797
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: to respond to me. Spock's playing my point as plainly

798
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: as I can. Of course, there's been Colon's and commas

799
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: all over. This guy's good writer. There are New York

800
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: native Mets fans, many many, But if you're a gentrifier,

801
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: laptop class individual, pure transplant, the odds are you are

802
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: a Mets fan? Who are you saying this to? Why

803
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: who are you saying this to? Why are you such

804
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: a douchebag? Because this language is so this is like

805
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: the Max.

806
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so fucking pretentious, it's so douchey. If if

807
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 2: you guys are fans of South Park, which I am

808
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 2: love South Park. They do an entire episode about like

809
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 2: the douchebags, and it's like they fart into cups and

810
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: they sniff their farts, Like that's what I imagine this

811
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 2: guy does to be like a little bit crude for

812
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: a second, where it's like, you tweeted this into the void,

813
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 2: it got picked up. Congratulations, like you got it, you

814
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 2: got probably what you sought out for. But I think

815
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 2: everybody comes out of this thinking you're an asshole, definitely.

816
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: And I think the funny thing that underscores this whole

817
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: thing is that what he's complaining about is the fact

818
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: that we just talking about this in the wind up,

819
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: that the Mets are master marketers right now. Incredible. The

820
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: fact that if you are a New York City transplant,

821
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: I think, of course you're more likely to be a

822
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: Mets fan, Yeah, because you're not an evil person. The

823
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: fact that the Mets are grabbing more of the new

824
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: people that he's admitting with money, with jobs, who are

825
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: coming into the city and they want to get in

826
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: themselves into baseball. I mean, they haven't been before, and

827
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: maybe there's weren't tied to their hometown team. They're like Yeah,

828
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: I want to go to City Field. That's a fun

829
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: place to watch a ball game, but that it should

830
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: be look inward for the Yankees fans. Why are you

831
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: not actually grabbing this class of people as quote fans

832
00:33:59,560 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: fear t.

833
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's also like the most I don't

834
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 2: even know if he realizes that he's kind of complimenting

835
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: the Mets in a way of that guy, he's kind

836
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 2: of proven that the Mets are New York's team right

837
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 2: now by saying that he's.

838
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: Proving is that in twenty years down the lines, the

839
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: Mets continue to grow more fans while the Yankees continue

840
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: to be a BA humbugging themselves an evil empire like

841
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: blaring Darth Vader noises and championing twenty championships that came

842
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 1: before integration, like the Mets are inviting in fun and

843
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 1: then the absolute complete lack of self awareness. Another tweet

844
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 1: where he responded to Sam Alderbell, who's a good writer?

845
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: You walk the streets of Greenpoint, Williamsburg, Bushwick, Ridgewood, Bedsty,

846
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: Crown Heights, or Prospect Heights, find a baseball fan to

847
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: move to New York City's adult vast majority of your

848
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: Mets fans. Can you imagine the denseness of a Yankee

849
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 1: fan to not be able to delineate between someone wearing

850
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: a hat and going to a game, and that make

851
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: being someone who's a real fan. I want Ross to

852
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: go to the Vietnam You tell me how the Yankee

853
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: fans are walking around Vietnam right now? Where did is

854
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: that where you went this past though last year?

855
00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 4: Yeah?

856
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you told me you're like, hats are everywhere.

857
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: Ho Chi Minh City is owned by the Yankees owns

858
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: also like it's what he's saying also blatantly untrue. I

859
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: there are still way more Yankees fans, and I do

860
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 1: think that it is so much easier for the average

861
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: person to just go and be a Yankee fan than

862
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: is a Mets fan.

863
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 2: The Mets fan base, you don't nobody chooses to be

864
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: a Mets fan. You were born into being a Mets fan.

865
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 2: We're just starting to get people starting to choose to

866
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 2: be Mets fans. But ninety nine point nine percent of

867
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 2: people that are Mets fans were born into being Mets fans.

868
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: We're Yankees fans. There's a lot of choosing going on

869
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: over there. But also I don't think it's wrong that

870
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: a lot more of that group of people are Mets fans.

871
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: But I think it's about the points I was saying.

872
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: I think the Mets are more inviting, like if you

873
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: it's also probably a conversation more of Brooklyn Queens versus Manhattan.

874
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: I still think every Manhattan transit is still going Yankees.

875
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean we joke out all the time, like go

876
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: to a Yankees game and you see twenty five.

877
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 2: Blonde women in white tank tops and the Yankee hat

878
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 2: and every thing, and it's like, oh, where are you from?

879
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 2: And it's like, Oh, I'm from Arkansas, I'm from South Dakota,

880
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: Like they're not from here.

881
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: That's the tweet that goes viral like every few months

882
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: where it's like if if you see someone wearing a

883
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: Mets hat in the street, you have like nine things

884
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: talk about that immediately, and you see Yankees hat on

885
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: the street, you're like, oh, brother, where are you from?

886
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

887
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: But also again, like this is the thing that we're

888
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: chastising for is the fact that the Mets are good

889
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: at acquiring and marketing to different fans right now, which

890
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: we know for a fact they are having worked inside

891
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: that building and it's been successful. Like the Mets games

892
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: are fun, like the Mets adverge more fun. Have you

893
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: seen the Mets advertisements recently for tickets? No, I haven't.

894
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: It's cool food, it's DJ's it's sun out in center field,

895
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: like that's what they're advertising right now. And then that's

896
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: overlaid with balls being put in play and then a

897
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: visual of Juan So though, like baseball games are fun,

898
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: going to a baseball game is fun, going to a

899
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 1: Mets game is fun. Going to a Yankees game not fun. No,

900
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. But this also gets back to

901
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 1: what we've talked about a lot more off air, where

902
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: the mother and Yankee fist change a little bit a

903
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: lot of bit. It's like, why do we even focus

904
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: on this right now? Again, Like you're mad about the

905
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: fact that more people in your gentrified neighborhood are wearing

906
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: Mets hats. Why is that you bother they're from Ohio?

907
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: It's like who literally who cares? Like it's I like that.

908
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: It's like you think they're not from her. So that

909
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 1: is angering you. As the mess of podcasts. We want

910
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: all of you guys to listen to us if you

911

Speaker 1: guys want to get into Mets baseball, and it's fun

912
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: that we've had a lot of people come up to

913
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: us and say that, like honestly, people have moved New

914
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: York to like we want to get into the Mets.

915
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: We found your ass podcast and it's fun, like we're

Speaker 1: inviting shout out our boy? Is it Ronnie in the

917
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 1: Netherlands Yuri Uri in the Netherlands.

918
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,280

Speaker 1: fact that now also that if you show up to

932
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: New York City, it's actually a choice to be a

933
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: Mets fan or a Yankee fan. It's like, that's a

934
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 1: huge win for what the Mets have done in of itself,

935
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: massive win. And as as the mess of the podcasts,

936

941

943
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: time this year, probably starts the first time this year.

944
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,320

Speaker 1: of an asof oh okay, Tuesday night, seven forty five again,

948
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: Corda saying versus Andre polant Palante is my god, God,

949
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: I get the pronunciations Italian. There's no way he's tallion.

950
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: You knows Italian lot. Maybe it's plot or whatever, it

951
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But the pronunciation guy this week on the

952
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: Study Hard Wednesday, Mattine Freddie Perrault another as offt versus

953
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: Matthew Libertor. So you should smoke the Cardinals, I would

954
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: hope to. I mean, the Cardinals had weirdly one of

955
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: the most fun opening weekend series. Them and the Rays

956
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: played ball games. It was hot in Saint Louis, hot,

957
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: low humidity. They got like a crazy heat wave and

958
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: the ball was flying there. It was going nuts. I mean,

959
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: ye to ice Joran Walker that Jordan Walker came out

960
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: of that series looking like one of the best hitters

961
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: in baseball. But the big thing to know about this

962
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals team is that they're not very good. Yeah, I'm

963
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: just gonna say that nicely. Yeah, they're not a very

964
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 1: good team.

965
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 2: But it's not gonna be like when you play the Rockies,

966
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 2: are the Nationals, where like fun bad they're They're all

967
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 2: still in the same tier of like ass I think,

968
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 2: But the Cardinals are like probably still gonna win seventy games,

969
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 2: I think. So, I mean that's mostly a function of

970
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 2: the probably the division they play in the fact that

971
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 2: they have a high floor as a team, especially defensively

972
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 2: in a bullpen that should be better than it was

973
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 2: this past weekend.

974
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean there's not much exciting going on

975
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: in Saint Louis. One exciting thing though, JJ Weatherhole. I

976
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: think some guys have probably heard about him. If you're

977
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast. Rookie called up twenty three years old.

978
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: First round pick? Was it twenty twenty four?

979
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 2: I believe four out of West Virginia. Out of West Virginia.

980
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 2: Damn good ball player Keith. If Keith's there, which I

981
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 2: believe he is, he loves going back to Saint Louis.

982
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: He is going to drool over JJ Weatherhol. No, he's

983
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: gonna be fantastic. And they still have Mason won Shorsop,

984
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: who one of the best defenders in baseball. If they

985
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: just Scott can't hit a lick if he's one of

986
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: the best center field defenders in baseball. As well, mentioned

987
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: that Jordan Walker really found something this weekend. Hit the

988
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: crap out of the ball. I don't know what's going

989
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: to come with Jordan Walker, but I like to see

990
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: him playing well. This lineup also won through nine most

991
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: games they play one hundred percent home grown, yes, which

992
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: is kind of cool. It's kind of cool, it's kind

993
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: of funny. Also, I referenced kyla Hey, he allied. He

994
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: flashed last year. Kind of working as a reliever. He's

995
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: getting moved. He's moved to rotation this year, so I

996
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: don't know what his workload is going to be like.

997
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: But it's a decent cut right fastball. It's two different

998
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: slide of variations. It's a curveball, sinker, it's a change up.

999
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: He's given lots of different looks the guys on both

1000
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: sides of the plate. He's fun. We've done plant in

1001
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: the past two He's full, over the top crazy, just

1002
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: curveballs good. He's gonna try and make it, beat it

1003
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: into the ground. And Libratore is fun. Libratore came over

1004
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: from the Randy rose Ran trade. I think Carlins fans

1005
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: hated him for years because of that. But he just

1006
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: looks like a like a high likelihood, good floor major

1007
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: league pitcher, and he will be for a while.

1008
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: When you play the Cardinals from the pitching side, a

1009
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 2: lot of balls in play, they don't get a lot

1010
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 2: of shrikeouts.

1011
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: They're not a big stuff team right now. Especially they

1012
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: are hoping that their defense is sharp like it normally

1013
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: is and that they'll get the outs that way. So

1014
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: for the Mets, that's great.

1015
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 2: I love when the Mets get to put the ball

1016
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 2: and play because we have very good hitters who hit

1017
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 2: the ball really well. So to me, this feels like

1018
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: a really bad matchup for the Cardinals just in the

1019
00:41:58,239 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: fact that you want us to put the ball in play.

1020
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: Great, as I'm saying, or it's like there, or you

1021
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 1: play into their hands. You you go right into the

1022
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: funnel they want.

1023
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 4: You to do.

1024
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: I guess we'll find out. You know who else we're

1025
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 2: gonna see James Little Stanic at the disco. Ryan Stannick,

1026
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 2: big closer out there in Saint.

1027
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: Louis this year. I can't believe he's their closer. He's

1028
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: already blown a save, so that's I mean, that'll be

1029
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: fun to see to be on the other side of

1030
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: a Ryan Stanek appearance here. But I'm again it's this

1031
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: is a relatively soft start to the season. I'd like

1032
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: to stack some wins. We should we should eat against

1033
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. We should be looking to get fat no.

1034
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: And I mean, also I'm very much looking forward to

1035
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: seeing code that sanga pitch. Yes, that game Tuesday night

1036
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: is going to be nice to see what we have

1037
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: been saying. Go where that vlass is similar? Clay home?

1038
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: Do I want to s so Senger goes in front

1039
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: of homes? Homes is Monday? Sanga Tuesday. I thought we

1040
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: had an off day Monday. No, we don't. We're flying

1041
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: right there. WHOA, interesting, I think we're off again Thursday though, Yes,

1042
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: fly to San Francisco for the weekend. Yeah, no, you're right,

1043
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: I think we are off on that day. That's where

1044
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: I got it mistaken. Unless we're I mean, I'll tell

1045
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: you right now. Let's for four games San Francisco. No, yeah,

1046
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 1: we are four games Fan Francisco. Yeah, this nine game

1047
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: nine days starting from Saturday. Interesting. Yeah, so it's again

1048
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 1: bullpen's going to be taxed. We'll see a nice Tobias

1049
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: Myers like soak up session in this We need.

1050
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 2: We might need We might need Tobias Myers to only

1051
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 2: go one inning in his next appearance, just so we

1052
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 2: could pitch more.

1053
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: But we can pitch more. Yeah, he would need to

1054
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: soak up innings, like especially maybe Shuman and I is

1055
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: probably gonna go forthy or something at some point, at

1056
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: some point, Yeah, but it does not seem like they

1057
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 1: want him to. I mean might have to. We don't

1058
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: have an off sendin until Monday, April sixth. You know,

1059
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: when he goes forty up, big down, big probably does.

1060
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: But then then what's going on? I'll say that, what's

1061
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: going on? I think he's one. Well, Marvin Gaye, what's

1062
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: going on? I think he's wondering the same question. I think,

1063
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: what is going on here? I don't know what's going on.

1064
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: Then if that's going to be the case again, this

1065
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: cardless team they placed, I think they're gonna play relatively

1066
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 1: solid ball. You should be able to get to those pitchers.

1067
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: The bullpen has some demons. Raley O'Brien, Jojo Romera matts

1068
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: fons at the horrible weekend, but all through those guys

1069
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: are a bit of demons. Romyre is a tough lefty,

1070
00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: very different baseball than the Pirates. Radley O'Brien is a righty.

1074
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: a very East West guy comes from the side, but

1075
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of a lot of extra pop on it.

1076
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: His dad played or his grandfather played in the Majors

1077
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: in the fifties for the Pirates. That's so cool. Damn

00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: play decent ball, but you I really I would. I

1106
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 1: would be not satisfied with anything less than serious victory.

1107
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm about to say, I love saying the second series

1108
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,279

Speaker 1: three second series of the year, Stack series wins. That's it.

1110
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: Keep teams that we think were better than just win

1111
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: two a three, win two three all year that say

1112
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,360

1113
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: never have never, It's never happened, never will. Right for

1114
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 1: the US, Frankie, I've been waiting all day. I'll say

1115
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: I sadly missed Frankie right before the season. Can recorded

1116
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: that Daniel Murphy video early and then I let him know. Sorry, Frankie,

1117
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 1: Daniel Murphy stole the spotlight. Yes, and then he didn't

1118
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: give us an opening day because I think, I mean, honestly,

1119
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: that's on us because we didn't. We didn't get in there.

1120
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: We could. We could have alerted the press. I should have.

1121
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: So if you want, should we do the Frankie season

1122
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 1: pump up and then do the Frankie after the series recap? Sure?

1123
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 1: So well, what do you mean do you want to

1124
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: do both Franki's I'm saying no, just one. I think

1125
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: just one. And also just to tell people, this is

1126
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: Frankie Peppers. He's our WI fan caller. Yeah, Frankie.

1127
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:42,439
Speaker 2: Frankie Peppers is a first time long time. He left

1128
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 2: us a Apple podcast review when we used to read reviews,

1129
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:47,399
Speaker 2: which maybe we'll bring that back.

1130
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: He just flood him.

1131
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: If you guys flutter our reviews, we'll start bringing him back.

1132
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 2: But he left us a review as Frankie Peppers and

1133
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 2: me and James read it out and were like, this.

Speaker 1: there Frankie Peppers. We thought he was, like so just

1136
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: a funny WFN guy. Then we did a voicemail episode

1137

Speaker 1: a voicemail, we'll play it on the show. And then

1140
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: that was exactly when the twenty twenty four Mets got

1141
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: blazing hot. Now it's a tradition. At the end of

00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: get fat against the Cardinals. A little dessert right now?

00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 1: A canoli? I want to see Frankie makes some canoles.

1186
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 1: How do you make a canoli? He's not gonna make

1187
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 1: a shell? Why? I guess I gnant. Yeah, we know

1188
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: Frank's good in the kitchen. Frankie's good in the kitchen.

1189
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 1: We've had the bowl in Y's. It's delicious. Also sauce.

1190
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 1: Last call, Big Time Tommy's back. Oh yeah, I totally

1191
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: forgot about time Tommy's back. I know we buried the

1192
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: lead here. That should have been our first breaking news thing.

1193
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,879
Speaker 1: Tommy fam is gonna be on this roster before May first,

1194
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: So it's quick building a bench. Whose roster spots is

1195
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: Tommy Fam take Jared Young? I think so, but but

1196
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: they like having the lefty. But the lefty kind of

1197
00:49:55,040 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: becomes pointless because he's a d H somewhat. But I

1198
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: think they like having the lefty mix in. And Jared

1199
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: John also is like a plus plus ish athlete like

1200
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: Jared Young can run a bit. Yeah, I think Time

1201
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 1: Fan definitely still can't. I'm sure when that news broke

1202
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: an opening day, if Mark Fans and Jared Young's lockers

1203
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: are next to each other, they looked at each other

1204
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: and went damn. They went, shit, I gotta compete here. Well, guys,

1205
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun to have Tommy Fan back. I

1206
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: think he's going to get back in this team because

1207
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: the guy could definitely still play, and so he's been

1208
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:26,919
Speaker 1: he's been acting on Twitter recently. It's fun that after

1209
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: everything he said too, he's come back to the organization. Yeah,

1210
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: it means it means the guys that he didn't like

1211
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: are gone. So take that for how you will. I
