1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: Get up, get up, keep that in, keep that in abiel.

2
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 2: This is yoh man. We well, welcome back to the

3
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 2: Mets the podcast episode Who Cares. Yeah, this is this one.

4
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: This sucks. This really fn sucks. There's gonna be there's

5
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: gonna be some bleeping in this one because it's just

6
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys are all Mets fans. You know

7
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: how it goes. You know what happened. We don't have

8
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,959
Speaker 2: to explain it to you. We're gonna we're gonna talk

9
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: about it because we're masochists and we love to talk

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: about what hurts us. But the Mets have now fallen

11
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: two games back in the nationallygue East. We no longer

12
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: have the tie breaker against the Atlanta Braves. The magic

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: number is two, but it's really one. So if the

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: Braves win one game against the Florida Mark Florida Marlins,

15
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: Miami Marlins can called them the Florida Marlins. That's how

16
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 2: little I'm tuned in right now. Uh, the seasons the

17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: nationally Gueese is over. The season is not over, and

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: I think I do think that's important to mention, is

19
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 2: that the season is not over. There's still a lot

20
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 2: of baseball to be played, and theoretically the Mets are

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: not out of it for the nationallyague east as James

22
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: has a vicious motorcycle rippen by. But we're gonna talk

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 2: about it. We're gonna talk about what just happened this

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: past weekend. It's gonna be a lot of uh is pontification,

25
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: pontification you think the right word, James, I know we

26
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: dropped that a lot.

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: I don't think pontification exists. We will pontificate, we will talk,

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 3: we will debrief.

29
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: This will be a therapy session. I think this will

30
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: be an episode unlike any that you've heard, just because

31
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: this is the first one that I will say. The

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 2: vibes are down. The vibes are very about as low

33
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: as they've ever been, which is crazy because they've won

34
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: ninety eight games. But let me do my spiel. Let

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: Formally, Hi, thanks for having me.

47
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks, thanks for joining us. We were just at

48
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: the watch party with the Mets down at the Harry

49
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: Lemon in the Lower East Side, and I will say

50
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: the vibes there were fun. It was a great time.

51
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: I really heard myself yeah at first, but the game

52
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: really soured everything. I mean, there's no other way around it.

53
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: When you when you get swept by the Braves, it stinks.

54
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: When you get swept by the Braves in the fashion

55
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: that they did, it stinks. And to just I don't

56
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: even have the proper words I feel like to really

57
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: sum up how I feel. Besides, I'm not mad. I'm

58
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: not I'm not angry. I'm disappointed. It's the classic line

59
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: that your parents drop to you when you do something wrong.

60
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: I'm not mad, I'm disappointed, And that's really what it

61
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: feels like.

62
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: It's past disappointed. I'm just sad. Like it's really upsetting

63
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 3: that they lost like every game the exact same way.

64
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: And the worst part is this team has ninety eight

65
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: wins and like, in all honesty, this is gonna be like,

66
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: this is gonna be such salt in the wound when

67
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: they win one hundred games this year and they're gonna

68
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 2: be the wild Card. But it's just it's it's such

69
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 2: a kick in the balls. I mean, there's no other

70
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: way around it. I feel like because this the feeling

71
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: that I have right now is this team is not bad.

72
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: And if you do think this team is bad, I

73
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: don't know what to do with you at this point

74
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: because they are not bad. But did they play bad

75
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: this weekend, No doubt. I think that's I think that's

76
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: one hundred percent what happens. They had a bad series,

77
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: the Braves played better, and I think the Braves proved

78
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 2: right now during the regular season they are the better team, right,

79
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: I mean, we can't.

80
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: It's undoubtedly so.

81
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: And that sucks to say, because like, ah, this team

82
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: is so so good, but the Braves just just weren't

83
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: a little bit better than us this year. And I

84
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: think this series really showed it with the three game

85
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: sweep Fong behind them, it's it's not a series I

86
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: want to talk about the slightest, but we have to.

87
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: I think it's cathartic to talk about it a little

88
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: bit because I want to get it out, because I mean,

89
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: there's still so much meaningful baseball left for this team,

90
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: and there are so many meaningful games ahead that I

91
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: would really like this to be the last time we

92
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: talk about this series.

93
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 3: I guess.

94
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 4: But it's only the less time we talk about the

95
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 4: series if you're able to win the one after this one.

96
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, yeah, Like if things go wrong in.

97
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: The Wildcard series now against the Padres, this becomes the

98
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 4: only thing that Mets fans talk about until until something

99
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: crazy happens. And that's almost the worst part about this.

100
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 4: Like we'll talk about the games. We'll get to in

101
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 4: a minute, but it's just like like it' it's it's

102
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 4: so brutal that like all the people who don't really

103
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 4: know anything, we're just the whole year, like are objectively correct,

104
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 4: and like all these people who make their their minuscule

105
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: living being assholes about the Mets and about trolling and

106
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 4: about being mean and being negative, or just like now

107
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 4: they have this like feather and their cap it's like

108
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 4: not objectively true, but it is like it was born

109
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 4: out in front of all of our eyes a national

110
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 4: television no less.

111
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's just it's painful that we.

112
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 4: Have to live in this reality now where like the

113
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 4: worst outcome was realized.

114
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: Which is like god, man, and I hate to be

115
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: that guy because it's the timing is just so bad.

116
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: But it's like, man, the worst outcomes winning ninety eight

117
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: games and making the playoffs like for.

118
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 4: Sure, but the worst outcome of this team's expectations like

119
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 4: two months ago, was not winning the Vision like it

120
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 4: didn't so like and it's not that they like this series.

121
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 4: The Mets didn't play well, but it's not like the

122
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 4: body of work is the waste because of that. But

123
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 4: it's true that whatever the worst possible outcome that just happened.

124
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, the worst possible outcome, which is still an okay

125
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 2: outcome happened. And it's just it's really hard to put

126
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: into words properly how we're feeling because I don't think

127
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: there's anywhere to point blame besides, like didn't play well,

128
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: Like it's not like you you f this up, you

129
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: screwed this up, like you sink you sink. That's not

130
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 2: really how I feel, but it was just like, as

131
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: a whole, the team underperformed this weekend when we really

132
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: need to step up, and nobody, nobody really came to that.

133
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: Nobody really did step up. I feel like at the

134
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: end of the.

135
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: Day, Jeff Byneil kind oftepped up.

136
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: Jeffan Knew had a great series. Jeff Kniel had a

137
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: great series, There's no way around that.

138
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: Also, the great series the Mets bullpen.

139
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: Edwardo Ascobar swung the bat well too, and the bullpen

140
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: was awesome the whole series, and everyone said the bullpens

141
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: sucked all year and that was always untrue. Oh my god,

142
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: that dude, Zach Brazili, you're bringing up glaciers like, and

143
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: I'm sure that's gonna I'm sure there are some Mets

144
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: fans listening to us that are gonna be upset with.

145
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: Them because the brace bullpen was really good too.

146
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: And like I'm sure objectively, maybe rest of the Glaziers

147
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: could have been a met, but like not likely because

148
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: the Braves offered the better packers the Mets even had

149
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: in their farm system. It's just those aren't the things

150
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: that we should be considering right now, Like sure stinks whatever, but.

151
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 3: You just got beat The team beat you. The Mets.

152
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: I don't think they led after the sixth inning of

153
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 2: any of these games, maybe even the fifth inning.

154
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: And feel like the Braves had more power.

155
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 4: The Braves are more timely, they worked better at bats,

156
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 4: their starters were better.

157
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 3: I mean, like they're saying they're.

158
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: The defending World Series champions who got better and have

159
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: Ronald the Kunya who's healthy, Like, and I hate I

160
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: hate saying this.

161
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 4: I don't want to that that in itself is moot

162
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 4: because like, even with all that being true, like we

163
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 4: had the opportunity and that's when we wanted through the

164
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 4: games and just you couldn't they beat you. They wanted

165
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 4: it And I'm not even say they wanted it more

166
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 4: because I don't believe that to be true.

167
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: I think the Mets, the Mets very much wanted it. It

168
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: was just weak. Like I said all year, there have

169
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: been times where the Mets have had adversity, right, They've

170
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: had these tough games, they've had these battles, they've had

171
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: these challenges, and someone has stepped up and has pushed

172
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: this team forward. And I don't think it's from a

173
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: lack of trying. I don't think it's from a lack

174
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: of efforts. Healthy absolutely ridiculous. And anyone who thinks that,

175
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: I really do think. I think you have to look

176
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 2: yourself in the mirror and be like what am I?

177
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: What am I really saying at the end of the day,

178
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: Like these guys want this, but it is it stinks

179
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: that there wasn't anybody who was able to be that

180
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: theoretical leader to take control and do that, because really,

181
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, baseball, like it's not

182
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: about one guy. The whole team has to play well.

183
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: And the Braves this weekend just played better than the

184
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: Mets one through nine.

185
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: By a lot.

186
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I even want I mean it's everything. Every

187
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 4: single thing just was different for them than it was

188
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 4: for us. They looked like they were so prepared and

189
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 4: ready to just win the series. Like it's like they

190
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 4: were looking forward to and them as were dreading it.

191
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: There was a I mean, the the vibes were. We

192
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: watched all three games with each other as we as

193
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: we normally do, and especially for this series. We were

194
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: at a barn Williamsburg. The first night shout out to

195
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: Northern Bell. We were at my apartment for Game two

196
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: on Saturday, and then we were at the Harry Lemon

197
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: for Game three on Sunday. And there was points in

198
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: this game where the Mets really had the opportunity to

199
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: bring different boroughs.

200
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 3: We tried three different boroughs. We couldn't break.

201
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 2: We really we went to Manhattan. We will we hung

202
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 2: out in Manhattan.

203
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: If there was a fourth game, We're going to Staten Island.

204
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: I'd like, that's like, that's unthinkable for us to hang

205
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: out in Staten Island. No offense to those of you

206
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: from Staten Island, but as just not somewhere we're gonna

207
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: hang out from Queens and Brooklyn. It doesn't make sense.

208
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: And there were points and there were times in this

209
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 2: game where like the Mets. The Mets had leads, The

210
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 2: Mets had leads at all points in the lead in

211
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: every game, every game, like there was opportunities, but we

212
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: just couldn't get that hit. And the Mets all year,

213
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 2: I mean, like, let's be honest, guys, the Mets all

214
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: year have when we've needed those hits, they really have

215
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: come through. I really thought it was because Mercury was

216
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: in metro retrograde, and that was not the case. I

217
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: was trying my hardest to really push that tonight. The

218
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: Mets just they just didn't play better than the Braves,

219
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: and god, it sucks. It sucks so bad because this

220
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: team is good, and this is unfortunately the taste we're

221
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: gonna have in our mouths until we see what happens

222
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: in the next series, whatever that be. There technically is

223
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 2: still a chance that they can win this National League East.

224
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 2: Is it likely? Probably not, It's not the likely outcome,

225
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: But like, until we see what happens in the playoffs,

226
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: this is the annoying, stupid narrative that we have to

227
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: talk about.

228
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 3: And it sucks because they are a.

229
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: Good team and nobody wants to hear that. I don't

230
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 2: even want to talk about it, but I have to.

231
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 4: And like Mets fans are now getting mad at all

232
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 4: the players that played really well his entire year. That's

233
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 4: annoying too, because like Mets fans are talking about Jacob

234
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 4: de Gram because he gave up three runs in six

235
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: innings and had to leave with a blister, And like

236
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 4: Mets fans talked about Max Scherzer because he has first

237
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: bad start and it feels like the entire season Harry

238
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 4: Rose rather really good tweet saying that game one, ninety

239
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 4: six to nine l NLCS Tom sever gave up five runs,

240
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 4: only had two strikeouts and three walks, Like this happens

241
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 4: sometimes you're.

242
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 3: A pitcher against good lineups.

243
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 4: Is Atlanta Brays lineup subjectively the second best or possibly

244
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 4: even the best lineup in all the baseball behind maybe

245
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 4: the Dodgers.

246
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 3: It's like it's like we've gotten them out before.

247
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: We beat them four of the five freaking times in

248
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: the beginning of August, which makes it even more upsetting,

249
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: and play his last six games against the mad Atlanta

250
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: It sucks.

251
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: It sucks, It sucks so bad.

252
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 4: But it's just like you can't you can't like get

253
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 4: mad at these guys now, like just going doors Din'

254
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 4: never great serious.

255
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: I think he went. I think he had two hits

256
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 3: in the whole thing.

257
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: Plonzo may have had three and they were all singles,

258
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: so like sure, but like their guys were still they

259
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: got you at this point, like they're still fantastic players.

260
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 2: So they've been dogs all year, And it's like, I

261
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: think you can be frustrated about the moment, but I

262
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: don't think you can be frustrated the player based on

263
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: what they've done this year, because again, like you said,

264
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: the team even still has won ninety eight games, and

265
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: it's so tired to keep saying that. I know that,

266
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: but like, bad teams don't win ninety eight games. How

267
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 2: many bad teams do you remember winning ninety eight games?

268
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 4: This Mets team would have a much better perception from

269
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 4: the fan base if we had like ninety.

270
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: One wins and have like a wicked swoon in August.

271
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, if the Braves would have taken four out of

272
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 4: five games that series in August that were all at home,

273
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 4: and all the Mets fans would have already been okay

274
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 4: with that would have been like mentally prepared for the wildcard.

275
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: Because this took all the Mets fans out of the likes.

276
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 4: I'm not even saying it's unfair, like it sucks that

277
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 4: this is the reality, Like because we were expecting the division.

278
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 3: We were anticipating division, and.

279
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: We should we should have when we should have won it.

280
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: I stand by that this team for sure and have won.

281
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: It was not acceptable and.

282
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: We broke our own record. This last year. We were

283
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: in the first four hundred and seven days.

284
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 4: This year was like one hundred and thirty days and

285
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 4: like we've now set that record two years in a row,

286
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 4: two unthinkable records, this hundred, this one might not be

287
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 4: broken time soon to being a first place for that long.

288
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: But it's just miserable, dude, It's terrible. It feels like

289
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: such crap.

290
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: Like this Brave's team played like a seventy seven hundred

291
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 4: win pace over the second half of the season. We

292
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 4: played like a fifty eight percent win pace, and they

293
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 4: just and they still ran us down.

294
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: Like, oh, I hate them. I want to shout out

295
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: our boy Gerson, who we've met at the game, friend

296
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: of the friend of the podcast, friend of the you know,

297
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 2: entireram the program. But I think he summed up really,

298
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: really well when he said, it's so disappointing seeing the

299
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: best team of my conscious life lose to a team

300
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: who had an even better season. And that's something that

301
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody wants to hear. I don't want

302
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: to hear it. It's like I understand, it's like, oh

303
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: my god, enough say it.

304
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 3: Say it.

305
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: They lost, they did this, they did that. But like,

306
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: I think this is a perfect summation of what this

307
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: season has been. This is one of the best team

308
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: Mets teams in our lifetimes. I mean, what's two thousand

309
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: and six of this team probably like regular season wise

310
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. Remember they got hot because they traded for

311
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: you and assessmentas otherwise that team was dead in the water,

312
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: dead in the water. So it's like, how do we

313
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: how do we speak about this? How do we talk

314
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 2: about this without being ridiculous but without also not being realistic?

315
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: You know, that's like the hard medium when it comes

316
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 2: to talking about this of like what's going on?

317
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 3: It's you shook your head too, because it's like I

318
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 3: follow up, you just said that was so that was

319
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 3: like too meta to even answer.

320
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: It's just that's that's what I'm saying. This whole season

321
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: is freaking meta because it's because objectively all those things

322
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: are true, but this team, you were toe to toe

323
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: with them and you literally.

324
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 3: Only had to win one time and it didn't.

325
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: That's the problem. That is true. Like they they just

326
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: they want you walked into their house and they said,

327
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 2: there's our house, and all those fans were doing this

328
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: tomahawk chop, which is just one of the most obscene

329
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: things that still happens in sports, and it's terrible, and

330
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: like you just to listen to that and you have

331
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: to take it and you have to watch it and

332
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 2: just to be.

333
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 3: Like they just they just beat us. They just took

334
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 3: us from it. They literally for what we had the

335
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 3: whole year, they took it.

336
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: Is it is? It? Is it excessive for me to

337
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 2: say there's worse. There's not many worse places to losing

338
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: baseball than Atlanta, Not to a Mets fan. No, it's like,

339
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 2: such like you said, the Tomahawk chop and all their

340
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: stupid all get ready bullshit. I mean, we've been cursed

341
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: a lot of this episode gonna be a lot of bleeps, maybe,

342
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: but like all their stuff just makes it like even

343
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 2: more frustrating, even worse, because we've seen this our entire lives,

344
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: and like I mean, like you can hear you can

345
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 2: hear us groaning and moaning, you can understand the frustration.

346
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 2: It's I'm not frustrated at the team and the players.

347
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: I'm frustrated at the outcome. I think that's really what

348
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: it is is. I'm frustrated that somehow this is how

349
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: it happened.

350
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 4: This is, hilariously the second time all season the Mets

351
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 4: have been swept in three games, and they both happened

352
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,119
Speaker 4: last three weeks against very different teams, very different situations.

353
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: But it's just it's like, here's what happened.

354
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: So you almost almost felt like something different was gonna

355
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 3: happen because had the year win.

356
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: I mean, really, here's what it came down to is

357
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: we had our bad stretch in September and the Braves

358
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: had their bad stretch in April May, and in between

359
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 2: both the teams were really really good and what was

360
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: just a few games better, and it's just like it

361
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 2: all gets lost because it's it's all narrative based, and

362
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: so the Mets losing late feels a lot different than

363
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: the Braves losing early when all those games matter the same.

364
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: But again, no one wants to hear that. So I

365
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: understand you. Whoever's listening to us and screaming at their

366
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: car radio like Mark, what are you talking about? I

367
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: get it.

368
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 4: And even if you like pick out the individual moments,

369
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 4: I kind of lost this series. It's just like Game one,

370
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 4: like three solo home runs and then Tyler McGill letting

371
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 4: it in and get away from him, where it's like,

372
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 4: oh crap, and then the game where it's like the

373
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: Mets score runs take the lead insures there just can't

374
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 4: exactly put them away.

375
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 3: It's like a crap.

376
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 4: And then it's tonight in the third ending where the

377
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 4: Mets take another lead, they they have the power, starts

378
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 4: to show you actually had two home runs.

379
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 3: You find you're really on top of Charlie.

380
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: Mooton felt so good. And then all of a sudden,

381
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: with nine to one to two up, Orlando Arcia hits

382
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 2: some seeing I single, Ronald Acuney walks a tough walkers

383
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: basing can't put them away.

384
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden they just go down the line.

385
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: Everyone finds a way they get on base.

386
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: Like this entire is there was no there was no

387
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: the kind of Mets us tonight a little bit. They

388
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: did it Braves us the last two games, but like

389
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: ye say, they messed us, and I think that's that's

390
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: like just go. A difference of philosophy too, of how

391
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: these teams are built. The Braves are very much built

392
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: on the long ball, and the Mets are very much

393
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: built on grinding out at bats. We've talked about this

394
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: all year. When you're a team that's built around singles

395
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: and getting hits and getting on base, this can sometimes happen.

396
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: And that's had nine hits tonight and scored three runs,

397
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: and the Braves had four and scored five.

398
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 3: Oh, that's so enraging.

399
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 4: It's also like it's like we have to like all

400
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 4: be honest and contract with ourselves. Like there's nobody more

401
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 4: upset about this outcome than the people who are like

402
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 4: a part of it. Yeah, like the guys in the

403
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 4: team and the people in the front office. Like I'm

404
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 4: sure they're even like tenfold the way we feel right now,

405
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 4: which is probably impossible to conceive, but it's like I

406
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: don't know how they were spot you uber back from

407
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 4: the Harry Leven.

408
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 3: I literally listened to Marvin's Room on repeat.

409
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Marvin's Room is a hot song right now.

410
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 3: That's it.

411
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: Like there's nothing else think about, like cups full of rose,

412
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: like players in my old phone chicau want to go home, Like.

413
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 3: We've we've been in the season too long.

414
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: I'm just saying you could do better, Like that's really what?

415
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: Tell me? Have you heard that lately?

416
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

417
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: I have like.

418
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 3: Dancy Swanson that you love so bad, James friggin Swans.

419
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 2: That dude's name is James. Sorry, it's discuss it's disgusting

420
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: that me and him share a name. That makes me

421
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: so mad, like and also like seeing his hair after

422
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: a hat and helmet, like, are you kidding me? It's

423
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: unbelievable how great that man still looks taking off. It's

424
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 2: called hat. There's literal terms of hat hair and helmet hair,

425
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 2: and this guy doesn't deal with either of them, and

426
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: he wears them all game.

427
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 3: Why is Matt Olson on the braves?

428
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: How did that happen? How did they?

429
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 4: Why get why Dancy Swanson a good this year? Why

430
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 4: m Austin where I learned how to field?

431
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 2: Like?

432
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 3: What the hell? What?

433
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: What?

434
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 3: What's the deal with that? Why is Marcella doing to

435
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: playing baseball?

436
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 2: Good baseball? Team? Man? I hate talking about it. I

437
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 2: really hate it. And you know what, we've said this before.

438
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 2: We need a short episode. This is gonna be our

439
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: short episode.

440
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: I hate Laos Sakata.

441
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, Laosicata. That's what we're gonna call him

442
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: from now, and that's the intention will give him. Hate

443
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: him the worst.

444
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 3: I hate that guy. I really hate that lou worst.

445
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 2: And I like you said, like you said the top

446
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: of the podcast, the I think outside of the like

447
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: the wild card thing, that whole thing, the worst part, Well.

448
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 4: We'll preview that more and more clear of head and

449
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 4: we're actually thinking about it. Yes, So like now and

450
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: that I know that's reality, I don't want to face

451
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 4: it for like twenty four more hours at.

452
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: Least, I don't know. But like the fact that, like

453
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 2: all the negative, annoying jerks get to be right, and

454
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: really they get to be right for no reason, because

455
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 2: if you watch this team all year long, this is

456
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 2: not the outcome you should have come to. There's no

457
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 2: reason you should have come to this outcome, Like there's

458
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: no conceivable notion that you thought the Braves were gonna

459
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: win one hundred games the Mets we're gonna win ninety eight,

460
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: And you're gonna call that whatever you call it, whatever

461
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 2: terminology you want to say it. I won't say it

462
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 2: because it's ridiculous to say for a ninety eight win team.

463
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: But that allows those people to think that that narrative

464
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: is correct. And that's all I'm gonna see. And this

465
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 2: is a personal, you know, complaint now of like man

466
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: can't wait to tweet the next three days about nonsense.

467
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tweet about the lunch I have and someone's.

468
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 2: Like, oh, let's remember when you said this.

469
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 3: It's like, oh my god, not gonna tweet.

470
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it's take a social mediatus.

471
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 4: Zach Wilson looked great today in second and a half start,

472
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 4: specifically ten for twelve, really awesome.

473
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: Carson onz is off like I sticks, I can't stand

474
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 2: Scott Turner. Fire Scott Turner. I'm gonna talk about some

475
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 2: football for a second, Like, I mean, I guess you

476
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 2: won the estimate.

477
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: I did.

478
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 2: I did win the estimate. That was a dominant, dominant

479
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: win to send us to a meback one game with

480
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 2: with a block for the tiebreaker going into the last series.

481
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: Should we bring the boys in? Should we go four

482
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: wide here? Should we go quad box? We don't have

483
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 2: Oca box, but should we go quad box here?

484
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 3: Quad box or the SMN and just let's get out

485
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 3: of here, all right.

486

00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:51,840

Speaker 3: Shirts, T shirts.

495
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 2: How do you guys feel. I mean, we just talked

496
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 2: for the last twenty minutes about how we're feeling. Let's

497
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: let's this is an open conversation. Let's let's hear from

498
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 2: all the Mets up boys.

499
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 3: Go ahead.

500
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 2: I mean, welcome to the show.

501
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 5: So well, thank you, Thank you guys. First of all,

502
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 5: first time on the show, excited to be here. Some caller,

503
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 5: longtime listen, first time caller. Take my answer off air.

504
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 5: This was probably the hardest I've felt after a Mets

505
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 5: game since I left Shay Stadium for the last time

506
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 5: in two thousand and eight. I mean, it is just tough.

507
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 5: But like you guys said, I mean, it's not over.

508
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 5: It's one hundred win team. There's still more games to go.

509
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 5: We're still good to see in October. It's not like

510
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 5: two thousand and eight. That was just the end of

511
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 5: the year that's to look forward to.

512
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 3: But it's frustrating.

513
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 5: I mean, how could it not be frustrating to lose

514
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 5: to the braves and see those flashlights going off all night.

515
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 3: So now we got Via the optimist, Now john the pessimist. No,

516
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 3: not me, never Johnny yet Johnny optimism.

517
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

518
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 6: I mean, look, it's.

519
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 7: I think anyone will tell you that this was not

520
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 7: what we wanted this weekend. I think that that's a

521
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 7: fair thing to say. And I think that you know,

522
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 7: all eyes likely turned to Friday, and we've said it

523
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 7: a lot throughout the last three four months, but this

524
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 7: is a situation we're in that we would have loved

525
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 7: to have been in last year, or in twenty nineteen

526
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 7: or twenty eighteen or twenty seventeen. Yeah, you know, you

527
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 7: get in the dance. This team has very, very, very

528
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 7: good starting pitching, and we know what the formula is.

529
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 7: You know, it's not necessarily a secret, and it's a

530
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 7: it's a potent formula when things are going right. And

531
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 7: you know, this is a sport where one day things

532
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 7: don't go right, the next day they do.

533
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 6: You guys, remember right.

534
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 7: After the All Star break, the Mets came out the gate,

535
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 7: lost to the San Diego and the sky was falling.

536
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 2: Yep.

537
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 6: And I believe they won fifteen of their next seventeen games.

538
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 2: Think seven or row teams answered before And I think

539
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 2: like that's like kind of the only possible silver lining

540
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: of the series is that like maybe like We've been

541
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: waiting to get kicked in the ass for a couple

542
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: of months. Now hopefully just woke everybody up and just

543
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 2: like now you have to go, you know, balls to

544
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: the wall, light the fire, and just go crazy, like

545
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: maybe this is it. Maybe it's not, but maybe this

546
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,719
Speaker 2: like at least, like we talked about this, that this

547
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: was like a playoff series essentially, and it's a great

548
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 2: playoff series to lose because it's not the playoffs, Like

549
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: we actually have the playoffs left, So like maybe this

550
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: is the like you said, the little kicking, the kicking

551
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 2: the butt. Everyone's like, okay, we got a locked down,

552
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: we know what was lacking in this past series, and

553
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 2: now we can fix this.

554
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 3: I'm just saying you could do better.

555
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: Tell me, have you heard that lately.

556
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 7: One more thing I think to keep in mind is

557
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 7: that you know, the whole round the fly ball right

558
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 7: that the Braves put forth in this series, it's not

559
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 7: really a sustainable number, it's not. And that goes both

560
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 7: like the Mets had a lot of five balls didn't

561
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 7: get out and the relatively hit her friendly park, and

562
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 7: it seemed like every single time the Braves put one

563
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 7: in the air, it was over the fence, and yeah,

564
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 7: like over a whole series, a whole playoff series which

565
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 7: is longer than three except for the wild card round.

566
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 7: But for the most part, that's not a sustainable recipe,

567
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 7: so I would keep that in mind. Also for Met fans,

568
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 7: like Chris Bassett has been incredible at limiting home runs

569
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 7: this season, and you know, didn't happen tonight, but over

570
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 7: the over the long haul of the season, he's proven

571
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 7: that he is capable of keeping the ball in the yard.

572
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 7: Didn't work out tonight, but that's been this team's bread

573
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 7: and butter. And that's another reason why I think Met

574
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 7: fans should not be, you know, taking this to extent,

575
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 7: which I know a lot of people are.

576
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 2: So season's not over. Season is not over. We still like,

577
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 2: like we said, we're in the postseason, and as we know,

578
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: you get to the postseason, it's about getting hot during

579
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 2: that time. Like literally the Braves last year stumbled into

580
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 2: the postseason, and the entire thing with the Mets. The

581
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 2: Mets have a great team. They have a really really

582
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 2: good team with a lot of really good players. And

583
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: I do think also it's worth noting Starling Marte being

584
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 2: out changed a lot too. For this team, I think,

585
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 2: and you have to learn how to play without him

586
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: and not having your number two hitter been there every

587
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: day every single game this year, who had been an

588
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 2: All Star, one of your best players. Like, there are

589
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: situations that this team can improve upon, can learn from,

590
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 2: and hopefully when the playoffs come, they're gonna do that.

591
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 2: Like I have faith in this team, still, no doubt.

592
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 3: For sure. It's just we just got to get there now.

593
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: I gotta get there. We gotta wake up, we gotta

594
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 2: wake up, and we gotta start playing good baseball sooner

595
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 2: than later. Yeah.

596
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 7: The thing is that all the fans who are spitting

597
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 7: the hottest takes tonight, yes, we'll also be screaming let's

598
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 7: go Mada, Let's go Mets the loudest on Friday.

599
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 6: For sure.

600
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 7: That's what it comes to at City Field. And you know,

601
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 7: a good microcosm of the entire situation. I was out

602
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 7: of town this week. I was in a random part

603
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 7: of the country. I sat down, I was like, I'm

604
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 7: gonna try to grab a bite to eat and watch

605
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 7: game one of the series. I wind up sitting next

606
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 7: to a guy wearing a met hat an LFGM T

607
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 7: shirt and I'm two thousand miles away from home, and

608
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 7: this guy shout out John Sigal Hope listening, but you.

609
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 3: Know Steven's brother.

610
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 6: No, I don't know.

611
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 7: Maybe I should have asked, but you know, I'm sitting

612
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 7: in a random bar in Texas and there's this guy

613
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 7: and we're vibing.

614
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 6: We're having a great.

615
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 7: Time, and like, you know, it didn't go well that game,

616
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 7: but as lame as it sounds, we were there together.

617
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 6: And like that's what makes.

618
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 7: This fan base so special is we all feel the

619
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 7: lows together, and you know, we all take it hard together.

620
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 7: We saw tonight at the bar. I mean, it was

621
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 7: a great time being with all the Mets fans that

622
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 7: we met. But like that's what it's all about. So

623

631
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: what we've been waiting for. It's not necessarily the result

632
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: that we wanted to start October, but doesn't mean we

633
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,000

643
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,640

644
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: atmosphere or anything. It was just because of the the outcome.

645

00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: Okay, you're kind of in the right Mark.

731

Speaker 6: What do you think James can do?

732
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: I think it's got to be similar to that, I think,

733
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 2: and I think it's similar, and it's it's gonna come

734
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,760

737
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 4: like who's counting because like one of us going faster,

738
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 4: and like you know what I mean.

739
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 6: Well, there's rules and regulations like with anything in life,

740
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 6: you know.

741
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's.

742
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: I'm assuming it's like sixty seconds on the clock and

743
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 2: whoever beats Oh, it's gotta be rhythmic push ups one three,

744
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 2: we go, We go in sync with each other until

745
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 2: someone can't do it. It's fine, or separate rooms, separate rooms,

746
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you do how however many push ups

747
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: you can do and see.

748
00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 3: Then you figure it out.

749
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: Wow, that's intense. That's like, that's like Gladiator type stuff

750
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 2: right there.

751
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 4: All right, John, So I won the last mestimate, which

752
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 4: was minutes of raindlaying the.

753
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 3: Series there was zero.

754
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 2: How lucky is Atlanta not even close to a rain

755
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 2: lay in the series drop of water?

756
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:16,479
Speaker 3: All right?

757
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, so this last series of the season is perhaps

758
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 6: for experimentation.

759
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

760
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, the it appears.

761
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 3: Maybe we can start working on the pitchclock.

762
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 7: Perhaps I don't know about that, but I just feel

763
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 7: like it's a lot is up in the air, and

764
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 7: given how close the circumstances are, and this is our

765
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 7: last regular season estimate, I'm thinking that we go with

766
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 7: you guys telling us. And by the way, you both

767
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 7: equipped with writing utensil.

768
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 2: I wrote my number down already.

769
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 6: Mark has his one pen.

770
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 3: Mark you how do you know the question didn't we

771
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,200

00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 2: I still heard it.

773
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,200

774
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,320

775
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 6: I knew that you guys did, because you came right

776
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 6: back in the second.

777
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: As soon as I heard, I go, James can hear

778
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 2: this too, It's that's the exact same thing. Useless.

779
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 3: I was gonna throw my headphones. I was like, why

780
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:12,239
Speaker 3: am I gonna do that?

781
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 7: Well, it's good, it's broad and it is how many

782
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 7: total runs scored? What we have in this three game

783
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 7: series against the Nationals? Straight up?

784
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got my number. So it's a number that

785
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 2: is it's a number. It's a number that's a number,

786
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 2: and it's a number that's scussable. What do you thinking, James?

787
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 3: All right, just run mind two?

788
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 2: Shall we show them?

789
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

790
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 6: Yeah?

791
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: Three countdowns two one fifteen twenty twenty. Wow, I went

792
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 2: lower than James.

793
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 3: I was about to go sixteen. I bumped it up. Actually,

794
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 3: now I kind of I went sixteen.

795
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 2: I won five a game. I went five a game.

796
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 2: I think that's a reasonable expectation. There's gonna be a

797
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: sprinkling in of more runs and less runs, and I

798
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 2: think that fifteen is a pretty even medium to find.

799
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 2: Medium medium to find.

800
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you know, just both teams right.

801
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: Oh it's both teams? Oh my god, Now if you

802
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 2: said it that's not me. If you said that, you

803
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 2: don't said it is the Mets only Okay, I watched it, James,

804
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 2: We're gonna go down door push off.

805
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 3: Oh I bet something that would go very low scoring series.

806
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 3: But I'm happy that that I saw that number from you.

807
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 5: Wow.

808
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really got cocky and thought it was just

809
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 2: the Mets. Mmm.

810
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 6: It was like three games before three games.

811
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 2: Botcho by me. I would have gone my twenty five

812
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 2: if I think I thought it was both teams. Oh

813
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 2: that's awful, well, James, congrats on tying it up.

814
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 3: Oh I don't like the rise.

815
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 2: Shanks just gets on tying it up and then started

816
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 2: working on my push ups these next few days so

817
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 2: that I can uh or maybe I should do no

818
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 2: push ups so I get sorry, only get short. I

819
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 2: don't honestly, I don't remember the last time I did

820
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 2: push ups.

821
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 6: I like that, and you think you could do forty

822
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 6: or fifty? Oh no, James.

823
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 7: I think James is kind of buttering your bread a

824
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 7: little bit by saying that I'm not at listen.

825
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 2: I know, I know, you know the YouTube guy over here.

826
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 2: I don't work out like everybody else, so I'm not

827
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 2: mister fitness over here. Yeah, mister Olympian, but the Olympics

828
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 2: for my blood. I'm Greek. I'm just I'm built different.

829
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 3: You built different, but I think in the wrong way.

830
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right if it let me tell if it

831
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 2: was a sitting competition, nobody would beat me. I'm the

832
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 2: best sitter there is.

833
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 3: Oh man, some of the braves fans got my mentions.

834
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: That's not that cool.

835
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 2: No, you gotta get off Twitter.

836
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 3: They found me.

837
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: You gotta get off Twitter. There they've been digging. But

839
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 2: about the real one. We're worried about the real one.

840
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 3: Can I tell you, guys, I'm really really screwed up?

841
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 2: All right, might as well go for it.

842
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 4: The meds divisional odds in the last three days have

843
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 4: dropped from seventy.

844
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 3: Oh that's all right.

845
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 2: Let's let's kick John and Vito out and wrap this up.

846
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 3: I don't know.

847
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 2: John and Vito, thanks for stopping by. Well, we'll catch

848
00:34:59,200 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 2: up with you guys soon.

849
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 3: Got enough enough Johnny words because it's too many.

850
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 2: Johnny words, Johnylasagna, Johnny Stats, Johnny Lennon's Johnny Napkins. He's

851
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 2: a man of many names. We got couple with the

852
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 2: name for Veto.

853
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 3: Uh, I have him before? He said, Vida Visor.

854
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 2: Vito Visor. Okay, Vida's a name. We don't really need

855
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: a nickname because Vito is like a strong name as

856
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 2: John John is literally the most basic name that exists.

857
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,880

Speaker 3: I don't know you know what. I'm just saying you

862
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 3: could do better?

863
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 2: Just yeah, all right? Do we just mention it? Do

864
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:42,600

00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 2: I'm on Mets schedule, all right, tomorrow, I'm gonna do this.

867
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 2: Carrasco versus Corey Abbott wins Daniel Espino Daniel, Nope, it's

868
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 2: Polo Espino way worse.

869
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 3: Win. Daniels is awesome.

870
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 2: Espino throws eighty four and you could hit Polo Aspino.

871
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 2: There's no excuse. Uh. Game Game three TVD for the

872
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: Mets vers Eric Fetty. That guy stinks too. Uh. I'm

873
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: done being nice. I'm done being nice. I've been nice

874
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 2: to all these pictures, not trying to drink anybody all

875
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 2: year and This is where it's got me. Beat the Nationals.

876
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 2: Beat the crap.

877
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 3: Out of them.

878
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 2: You're way better than them.

879
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 3: You just just get hot.

880
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 2: Just try to get hot, win, win, and if the

881
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 2: Braves win, you can't worry about it. Just get hot

882
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 2: before the playoffs and we keep doing our thing. That's it.

883
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 2: I think that's it.

884
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 3: I guess I don't know. Score score score runs.

885
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: Score runs, score runs, and hopefully the Mets score fifteen

886
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 2: in the national score zero this series. That would be

887
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 2: fun because then I would win and I don't have

888
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 2: to do push ups.

889
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 3: You don't care as much about Lucy. You just care

890
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 3: about not doing push ups.

891
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,600
