00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: So literally ridiculously good. It's stupid.

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 3: The Mets just had this series against the Nationals and

20
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 3: outscored them. What twenty two to two, two roundred and

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: three games offense. Woke up pitching is completely fucking ridiculous

22
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: right now. Shout at Jeremy Haffner, Shout out the stab,

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: Shout out this ballpen. Shot out of this team to

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 3: lose Francisco inndoor and lose those two games like they

25
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 3: lost them against the Phillies, and then to bounce back,

26
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: swing back and completely eviscerate a national team, a second

27
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 3: division team, as Keith Rnand is apt to call them

28
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: over and over again this week.

29
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: It's beautiful. And there's been a lot of soft.

30
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 3: Comparisons I think I've made and people have said on

31
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: Twitter recently to the twenty sixteen met season, and this

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 3: really kind of truthfully starting to feel like that, where

33
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: you're getting good pitching from god knows where the hitters.

34
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: Yourselmon and Seth Lugo.

35
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, all the hitters are starting to step up in

36
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 3: amazing ways. It's it's friendships, it's laughs, it's vibes, it's fun.

37
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: We're dancing. The stadium was empty, and then the stadium

38
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: was full of stadium discourse. We have a purple seat

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: that Mark Hayton and and.

40
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. We will talk about that fucking

41
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: grim miss seat.

42
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: Don't worry, we're bringing it all in.

43
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: We're previewing the episode because guys, this is gonna be

44
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: a podcast of joy, of happiness, and of looking ahead

45
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: in a really profound way. Because we have four huge

46
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: games coming up this weekend against the Philadelphi Phillies. We

47
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 3: all got to be a city field for as many

48
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: of them as could possibly get to. But the vibes

49
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: are unbelievably matched right now, and we're it's it's just

50
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 3: there's a special feeling every day watching his Mets team

51
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: play baseball.

52
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: On the notes for today's episode, James went crazy on

53
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: the notes. Guys, he's ready to rock and roll. But

54
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: the first thing he put is, we're so fucking lit,

55
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: and I absolutely love it because the boys are also

56
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: just a little PSA Thursday, we are going to be

86
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: car on the seven train right after the game Thursday night.

87
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: See you guys there. All right, let's talk about this series.

88
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: I feel like let's start off with with with the

89
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: little qt that plays shortstop now in replacing Francisco Lindor

90
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: while he's healing from a back injury. Louis on Hellacunya's

91
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: debut was fucking legendary. On my second start was legendary.

92
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: Everything about him is so zesty Wit Mayfield, James, you

93
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: couldn't have hit the nail on the head better.

94
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 3: I think that I'm gonna be bound to the hip

95
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 3: with Louis and Helocunya for his entire career. Because I

96
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: was in the ballpark in Philadelphia on Saturday. I saw

97
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: his first surprise start. I saw his first ever hit.

98
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: We were back there on Monday and Tuesday. We saw

99
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: him come into the game on Monday and play shortstop

100
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: in the late innings and make play after play, chance

101
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 3: after chance of shortstop, surehanded shirt throw do great. We

102
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: saw him in the ballpark on Tuesday saw his first

103
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 3: career home run. So his first career RBI. We saw

104
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: him bounce back after making the one slight blemish, slight

105
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: defensive blunder, slight blunder at all he's made as professional

106
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: and he has injected energy into this team. I literally

107
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: can't even believe, Like I kind of said hyperbolically as

108
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 3: a joke, like where were you and Louis hen Lacuna

109
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: saved the Mets season? Louis he Lacuna might partially have

110
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: saved the met season. He single handle, He's pushed the

111
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 3: Mets playoff percentage of what fifteen twenty points in the

112
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: last couple of days for for him to come up

113
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 3: after being horrible and triple A this season when Francisco

114
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: Lindor got injured in the middle of an MVP campaign,

115
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: to get thrown into the fire in a playoff race,

116
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 3: we're fighting tooth and nail and then to go seven

117
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 3: for fifteen while playing great defense with two home runs.

118
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 2: What the fuck?

119
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: This is one of the most remarkable stars to a

120
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: career I can remember in baseball recently.

121
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: Well, dude, did you hear or did you see Tim

122
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: Healey's sweet about Carlos Mendoza on Luis on Helicunya He

123
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: said Mendoza said this about Acunya. You put him in

124
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: front of the bright lights, and that's one thing he

125
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: keeps telling me, Man, I see the ball so much better.

126
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: There is a possibility that the lights in Syracuse are

127
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: not good enough, and Luis on Helicunya has had difficulty

128
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: hitting at night in Syracuse. If we can find those splits,

129
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: what if he wasn't seeing the ball? Well, what if

130
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: we're unlocking something because there's high definition lights in New

131
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: York City?

132
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: All right, we do with the LED lights. Shout out

133
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: the mess for that and saw them this offseason.

134
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: They're there now.

135
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: The fact that we're like in a playoff race and

136
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 3: we can flash those lights thimidating moment for the road team.

137
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: But I'm when I hear that quote from Carls Mendoza,

138
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: I'm much more breathing between the lines and thinking about

139
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 3: someone who.

140
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: No, I'm not even saying the in front of the

141
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: bright lace though Luis an Hill told him, I'm physically

142
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: seeing the ball better because of the lighting.

143
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 3: Here, I'm still breathing between the lines and that and

144
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: thinking this is a player whose brother is an All

145
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 3: World player who was been on the forty man roster

146
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: for a year.

147
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: Who's traded for one of the best pitchers any of

148
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: us are ever going to see in our lives.

149
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 3: Who, truthfully, who's playing in a league in Triple A

150
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: where the ball's ridiculous, the rules are weird, the players

151
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: in the league are bizarre. He's only twenty two years old.

152
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 3: I see a guy who might have just been like,

153
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 3: this kind of sucks, Like I think I'm ready for

154
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 3: the show. I'm doing everything I can. I'm playing good

155
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: shorts on, playing good second base and playing a good

156
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: center field. And this is something that Francisco Lindor talked

157
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 3: about when he was called up by the then Indians

158
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 3: years ago. They're like, you weren't hitting well Triple A

159
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 3: and you're in the major leagues. Now you're amazing.

160
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: What happened?

161
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: He was like, honestly, guys, like I was kind of

162
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 3: bored down there. It kind of sucks. Like I'm like,

163
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 3: I know I'm good enough for the majors. I'm making

164
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 3: fifty grand or whatever you make when you're a Triple

165
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 3: A baseball player, and like, I need to just get

166
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: to the major leagues to get the juice flowing and

167
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: talk about the slow again walking in here to replace,

168
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 3: not replaced, but to fill in for admirably Francisco Lindor

169
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 3: in a fucking playoff race against two division rivals. And

170
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: to do this seven for fifteen thirteen balls in play,

171
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 3: hit nine of them hard, two home runs. Amazing defensive shortstop, Like,

172
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: are literally are you fucking kidding me? For what this

173
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: guy's done so far?

174
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been incredible, and the vibes with him have

175
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: been through the roof. I think after he had his

176
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: home run game, the Mets poured beer apparently on They

177
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: put him in a cart and were dumping beer all

178
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: over him after the game, which pretty mature celebration. But

179
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: I love the vibes, love the vibes. Everybody's having fun,

180
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: good vibes. That's a good celebration. Not like when they

181
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: celebrate after they beat the Dodgers in twenty twenty two.

182
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: This is a good one, celebrating the kids, first big appearance,

183
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: first big moment, first home run. And again, he's just

184
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to watch play and he's a

185
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: much better shortstop than I actually thought he was ever

186
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: going to be. Defensively, in the small sample size that

187
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: we've seen, he seems very comfortable there.

188
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: He's very comfortable and the hands are good.

189
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 3: This is where he's played the most in his professional career,

190
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: and this is where like he had the inflection point

191
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: in his value as a prospects like can you hang

192
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 3: a shorts up? Can you play these multiple high value

193
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: defensive positions at a high level, And it feels like

194
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 3: you really can't. Like some of the throws, I feel

195
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: like don't have the most zip. I don't think he

196
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: has the best arm, but he looks very comfortable moving

197
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: to the ball against some of the instincts aren't great.

198
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: He did make that one misplay to allow the one

199
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: Nationals run to score on Tuesday, and then literally the

200
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: next inning, this was the key moment in this series.

201
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 3: He doesn't feel that way now because the Mets just

202
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: scored twenty unanswered runs against the Washington Nationals, but after

203
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: he didn't run that ball himself to say, and the

204
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 3: run was the scored anyway, because there was zero rest

205
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: of the time because after Mark Fanze's made that air,

206
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 3: but the Mets were losing one nothing and after a

207
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: game they barely won by the skin of the teeth

208
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 3: because he couldn't hit for four straight d three straight

209
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: days again on Monday, he laced the double after Harrison

210
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 3: Bader draws lead off walking ties this game at one

211
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: to one early and then after that the flood gets open.

212
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: The Mets dominate.

213
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: But that was a key moment from the nine hitter

214
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: against the starting pitcher that was not cruising, but like

215
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: Mitchell Parkle at the time, was looking really good in

216
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: the Mets offense again had three short games where they

217
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 3: couldn't really do anything at the play again, so they

218
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 3: were kind of in this up and down lays like

219
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: we've seen over the last month or so. The one

220
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: who got the big hit that started this entire avalanche

221
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: and he's the one who just got the home run

222
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 3: to the end that like as Ed put the bookmark

223
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 3: on this series, it's he has changed the complexion of

224
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: this team in a miraculous way. And again we don't

225
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 3: know what's gonna happen the rest of Louis on Helocuniya's career,

226
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 3: no clue, but the way it started and for exactly

227
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 3: what we needed. I said, we said this a few

228
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 3: episodes ago, like oh with McNeil went down, we were

229
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: like for the energy, for the vibes, like bring up

230
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 3: the guy with some juice, and now they were kind

231
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: of forced to bring up the guy with juice and

232
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 3: look at how fuck how much fucking juicy brought to

233
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 3: this team in this one second.

234
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: It's playing with so much juice you're gonna start talking

235
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: about it, maybe on the postseason roster as well, like

236
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: how do you keep that guy off?

237
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: There's a true conversation now where if Francisco indoor again,

238
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: God willing everyone, everyone's.

239
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 2: Sleep on the right side of the peloton.

240
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 3: I to he'll be back into three to five days,

241
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: like he said, there's a real conversation with how poor J. J.

242
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: Martinez has played for Jose Glaciers to move to third base,

243
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: Luis on Hell to play second, and Mark Fianzo's to

244
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 3: DH and JD Martinez to be a bat off the bench,

245
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 3: Like that's how good, that's how hot Luis and helacuniy is,

246
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: that's how much I don't think he can leave the lineup.

247
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: And also the defensive field because he looks great there too.

248
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 3: The infield defense was so fucking good on Wednesday behind

249
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 3: Jose Akantana.

250
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, really Crispy. I mean everything everything that he's done

251
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: looks good. The bath speed look good. Looks good, the

252
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: exit velos look good. He runs the bases just as advertised.

253
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 1: Dude flies around the bases. I can't find anything to

254
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: dislike about this guy's game.

255
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 2: No I have.

256
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 3: I have a lot of good stats here because I've

257
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: been I've been telling you guys for months to like,

258
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: keep realistic expectations on the guy with the same last

259
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: name as one of the best baseball players currently in

260
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: the league. And my zesty with meryfield comp feels so

261
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 3: good to me right now in my heart, it seems incredible,

262
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: like a util the infielder with against Zesty because he

263
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 3: has a lot more pop and he's much just simply

264
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: more zesty, like he's a lot more flair. But he's

265
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 3: some maondy who can play a lot positions well. And

266
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 3: the power was the question, and he said, these two

267
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: home runs, the home running hit on home running hit

268
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 3: on Tuesday was zero point one miles an hour off

269
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 3: the max ex of Vlasi his career one hundred nine

270
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 3: point five miles, which.

271
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: Is cool because a lot of times you get those

272
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: max x velos on ground balls or balls hit'll lower

273
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: to the ground. So for him to get almost his

274
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: max X Villo in the on a home run. Really encouraging.

275
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 3: This is the key because he's a guy who we

276
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: can see it now, gets this back spin that we

277
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 3: talk about when he drives the ball, and if he

278
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: knows all the balls that he's driven the double in

279
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 3: the two homers, we're all low pitches that he was

280
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: able to get the bad head out basically club that

281
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 3: because that's the only way you can really get ahead

282
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 3: of the ball. And you kind of saw also there's

283
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: gonna be an adjustment from pitching now with Louis Heller

284
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 3: swifter once when he got those pitches high, he struggled

285
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: a little bit more. But something that's really, really, really

286
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: really critical.

287
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: Is the bat speed.

288
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 3: As of right now, he hasn't taken that many swings

289
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: conar with other guys, but batsby something that'll stabilized quickly

290
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 3: because you just you take a lot of swings. He

291
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 3: has seventy fifth percent tile batsby and all Major League Baseball,

292
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 3: second fastest bat in the team behind Pee Alonso. It's

293
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 3: the same range including how hard he swings and the

294
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 3: length of his swing. Does per statcass As Wyatt Langford,

295
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 3: Bryce Harper, and Luis Robert also in that range die

296
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: Ron Blanco Tyler so is from an Alex Jackson. So again,

297
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: batsby himself doesn't mean anything, but the fact that he's

298
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 3: able to lift the ball be then I really thought

299
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: he was going to do it. There's a lot of

300
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 3: ground balls in the minor leagues. But I told you guys,

301
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: there's a very high rate of hard hit balls. I've

302
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 3: been saying that in our prospect reports months now while

303
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 3: people were talking about his ops, his home runs. His

304
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 3: ex of loss is everything. The amount of balls he

305
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 3: puts in play is really high, makes a lot of contact,

306
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 3: will not take a walk stills he had to take

307
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: a walk. We're gonna see adjustment next couple of days, affilies,

308
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 3: He's not gonna see a ball the strike, so it's

309
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 3: gonna be fun to see. Hidjusted to that. But he

310
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 3: me has great bats of ball skills. He gets the

311
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: bad head out as much as he can, and every

312
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: time he makes contact, the ball's hit relatively hard. They

313
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 3: said it before, I'll say it again. He's put thirteen

314
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 3: balls in play, nine have been hit harder than ninety

315
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 3: five miles an hour. That's a high rate of the

316
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: balls being hit hard, and you keep paying the ball

317
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: that hard. You keep finding holes and when you actually

318
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: get the pitch to drive and you lift it, you're

319
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: getting doubles and you're getting home runs. Like this is

320
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: this is fucking awesome what he's doing right now. There's

321
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: there's no it happened on Monday. There's no world or

322
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 3: Eddie Eddie Alvarez ever gets to start over him again.

323
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 3: He has to start against Taiwan Walker tomorrow. He has

324
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 3: to be simply have to. I don't care, Reddy Lefty,

325
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: I don't give a fuck if Louise On Helicunya. If

326
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 3: Eddie Alvarez is getting at bats to loose Helicunya, there's

327
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 3: an issue in decision making.

328
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, there's definitely a problem if that's happening, because

329
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: everything that Luis On Hilicunya has done has been great.

330
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: And you know what he also has for you, you

331
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: cool tick took kids out there, kids got Aura Aura.

332
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: He loves the spotlight. He's doing the postgame press conference.

333
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 3: He said he was He said my English is not

334
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 3: very good, but let's go, they said, which was like

335
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: a great quote from him. Again, Like there's a world

336
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 3: where he's like forcing himself like into this lineup every

337
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 3: single day, even with Lindor just instead of j D Martinez.

338
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 2: Which imagine saying that shit in June or July, even

339
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: imagine fucking crazy.

340
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 3: JT's at bats have been bad, and Mark Vanto's is still,

341
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 3: you know, a work in progress at third base. But

342
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 3: there's just there's so many pieces. It was so nice

343
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: these last couple of days too, Like you could take

344
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: Jose Glacie soft the field, you could take Alvarez and

345
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 3: put the backup in for him. You can give guys

346
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 3: a breather who need the breather because we're winning by

347
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: so fucking much.

348
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,280

378
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: I'm so excited about this met.

379
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 3: Team and I think it's funny that the way this

380
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 3: series started then end it, especially you consider the bizarre

381
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: discourse both heading into the series and after the first game,

382
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 3: partially spurned by you, mister old old angry fuck Mark Luino,

383
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 3: and also spurned by Gary Keith. Howie dsha myself first

384
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: on the fact that the Mets to side in the

385
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 3: middle of the playoff race. It fucking worked again to

386
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: put a purple seat in the Coke Cold Corner. And

387
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: then the fact that on Monday night, in the middle

388
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 3: of a pennant race with a team needing a win

389
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 3: to keep their chances moving, the stadium was sixty percent empty.

390
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: Now it got more crowded on Tuesday night. We were

391
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: there Monday and Tuesday definitely more crowded. Tuesday definitely better vibes.

392
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: Wasn't there Wednesday, but we had we had bees on

393
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: the G's shout to Jeff mckitts, a little insider for us.

394
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: He told us packed packed on Wednesday, and I don't

395
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: think it was sold out, but I think it was

396
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: just a full stadium. The vibes were really good. The

397
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: place was electric, so that's important. And there's a lot

398
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: of talk too about why the field, why city Field

399
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: was just so empty in general. And I know this

400
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: is something that me and you have discussed on the

401
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: podcast before, and I know now Gary keithan Ron and

402
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: d should talking about it really started bring a little

403
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: bit more attention to it. One Cityfield just like never

404
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: really has drawn particularly well. I think that's a pretty

405
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: lame excuse in general. Like I think you're a fan

406
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: and you have the ability to get out there, you should.

407
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: But we also know there are a lot of things

408
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: holding people back from getting to City Field, like the

409
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: fact that we mentioned on last episode it's hard to

410
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: get to. Parking is forty dollars, the food is school

411
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: Stadium's expensive at school night, like, there was definitely some

412
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: outside factors even Monday night, Monday Night football, some people

413
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: might pick football over going the next game that day.

414
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: I also we also had a pretty interesting take too,

415
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: Gary Keith and Ron might be too good.

416
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think at the SNY broadcast is so good.

417
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people would like and especially

418
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: Gary Keith Ron selves and the production value of SNY.

419
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 3: It's just it's it's such a great watch. It is

420
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: hard sometimes to give up watching those guys. Like we

421
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: always talk about the fact that we like going to

422
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 3: the games on the national broadcast because we know we're

423
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: not missing Garritkeeth. We're like, we're only missing Gary Keith

424
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 3: and Ross. We might as well show up to the ballpark.

425
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 3: But I think all of those things play in. I

426
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 3: think a huge thing again is just where city Field is.

427
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: Getting to City Field if you're not either in the

428
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 3: either the couple of burroughs around it or Long Island

429
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 3: is Hell, Westchester, Connecticut, New Jersey. My dad, bless his

430
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 3: hard guest, gets from New Jersey City Field like twenty

431
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 3: times a year. He left with us on Tuesday, his

432
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 3: NJ Transit train got canceled, leaving him to send pen

433
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 3: station for an hour. But that's the kind of shit

434
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 3: that happens. We try to go with the Mets game

435
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 3: in a week. Then he was back on that train

436
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: next day, back in the office next morning. But like,

437
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 3: that's a hard thing to ask somebody. And also I

438
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 3: think of another part of the two, which is we'll

439
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 3: pick me up from Mets fans. I think a lot

440
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 3: of people were discouraged after those two Phillies games and

441
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 3: no Francisco Lindoor.

442
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 2: Come on, guys, let's go. It's a playoff race, like

443
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 2: this is why we'll hear it.

444
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 3: I was so interested by Brandon Nimmo's comments after the

445
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 3: game on Wednesday, where he a plea. He was like,

446
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: come on, guys, we feed off your Andrew. We need

447
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 3: to fill this place up. Let's go match Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

448
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 3: We kned every single person we can in here because

449
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 3: they know it too, Like it's obvious Mets play a

450
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 3: playoff game, an elimination game two years ago and didn't

451
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: sell out their own ballpark. But it is crazy, but

452
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: it's true because that was a Sunday night in October

453
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 3: eight o'clock game. The trains get less and less frequent

454
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: back to New Jersey and Long Island. The later you

455
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 3: get in the night. Parking again is hellish because of

456
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: that parking lot and it's forty dollars like it is

457
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 3: a lot. Tuesday got much more full because they did

458
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 3: cheap hot dogs and beer. Wednesday was super folks.

459
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 2: They did.

460
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: They did a great m they did a great giveaway,

461
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 3: Like the Mets have tried so many creative things to

462
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: really pack that ballpark and they've even out put a

463
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 3: winning team and we.

464
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: Still can't sell it.

465
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: Out.

466
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 2: We still can't sell it out.

467
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 3: But I think it's I think it just comes back

468
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 3: to literally Robert Moses and where City Field is, which

469
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 3: is a real shame because that's why the Dodgers even

470
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 3: left New York back in the day.

471
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 2: But it's just that's it.

472
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 3: That's why all of us that are in the burrows,

473
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: all of us and maybe don't have to be up

474
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 3: early in the morning. You gotta get cite the feel

475
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 3: as much as possibly can because it's a special time.

476
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: I heard a clip from the Michael k Show too.

477
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was him or Don mgreca

478
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: talking about because how he was bringing up he doesn't

479
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 1: remember Shay ever being empty like this in September. A

480
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: couple different things. One, they're just weren't as many seasons

481
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: where the Mets were really competing as well, like they

482
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: when they were bad, they were bad. When they were good,

483
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: they were good. Like that's just kind of how it's

484
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: been for the Mets.

485
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 2: We got three winning seasons of five years.

486
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 4: Here.

487
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 2: This is not what the Mets normally do.

488
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: Not what we normally do, so this is a very

489
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: new thing. Also, at the same time, the Mets were

490
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: competing for a National League East pet like you were

491
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: competing for a Pennant. Essentially, it was a much bigger

492
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: deal than like competing for the last wildcard spot, which

493
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: me and you you're listening to this podcast, you're a

494
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: baseball fan. I think that's lame, but I do think

495
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: that plays a part into it. The fact that you're

496
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: fighting for a wildcard spot is not the same as

497
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: when you were fighting for a Pennett or you're fighting

498
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: for the National League Geese like we've been in years past.

499
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 3: Totally, I think it's also another cop out, shitty excuse,

500
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: but it's just something that happened that changed the world.

501
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 3: Like I think the pandemic pushed people to be much

502
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 3: more comfortable in their homes more insistantly, like more people

503
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: ordering in and going out to eat, Like less people

504
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 3: are actually in their office working from New York City.

505
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 3: So like if you're like, it's just you're everyone's got

506
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 3: so much more comfortable in their homes. It's something I

507
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 3: think that's naturally happened since then. So I think that

508
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 3: just pushes again, like more people in the house more consistently,

509
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 3: Like we we heard people say to us like over

510
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 3: the course this year, like this is their first met

511
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 3: game in like two years, or like a lot of

512
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: people don't live that close city field. Again, like you

513
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: and I are lucky to live a subway right away,

514
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 3: Like we can get the city field, Like we always

515
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 3: put the video on Instagram, but I take a two

516
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 3: ninety train to get the City Field.

517
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: I bring my own dinner.

518
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 3: Like usually we find a way to get a ticket,

519
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 3: like now that not all people are as lucky as

520
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 3: we are. Also, we'll just buy the cheapest ticket in

521
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 3: the ballpark and walk down to the field level, you know.

522
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 3: I mean some people are uncomfortable not sitting in their

523
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 3: own seat. You and I are like I'll buy a

524
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: three dollars ticket and just walk back a security.

525
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 2: I don't really care.

526
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 3: It's like, ah, like it's but everyone has a different

527
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 3: perspective when they go to baseball games.

528
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 2: So it's just this is a hard thing.

529
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: And I'll never say, like everybody has to be in

530
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 3: city Field, and some people are so busy in their lives.

531
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 3: Like I think that Gary Keith and how we came

532
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 3: off a hair tone deaf and some of the things

533
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: they said a tiny bit, a tiny bit, because I

534
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: do do think they remember those legendary times at Shay

535
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 3: where it was. It was just a bit of a

536
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 3: different vibe like it was. It was just simply different.

537
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 3: I think that City Field also, there's just there's a

538
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 3: lot going on city Field.

539
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: There is.

540
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 3: There's a lot of music, there's a lot of activities,

541
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 3: a lot of different kinds of food. It's it's an experience,

542
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 3: it really is, And sometimes it is easy to lose

543
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 3: track what's actually happening on the field. Right now, what's

544
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 3: happening on the field is really fucking specially, like I

545
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 3: say it again, like this is one of the best

546
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 3: met seasons I can remember recently at all in my life,

547
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: especially this time of year.

548
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: What do you know, the people were discouraged one day,

549
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: like you said, cause Lindor losing to the Phillies. They

550
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: win that game, walk off for people, little more people.

551
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: What happens on Tuesday when they win that game big

552
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: time more people on Wednesday, Thursday is going to be

553
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: a madhouse. I'm fully committed that oh oh Jets are playing.

554
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: Though Oh Jets are playing, it's gonna hurt that exists,

555
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: that kills it. I know I'm still gonna be Friday again.

556
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 3: I can't go and working Friday, and I'm in a wedding Saturday,

557
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 3: and I'm working against Sunday. So sadly, Thursday is gonna

558
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 3: be my last game, my last regular season game of

559
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 3: the season as well. But again, like I'm gonna be

560
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: foaming at the mouth, like I'm freaking out, like we

561
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 3: were chanting let's go Mets and clapping in Mitchell Parker's

562
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 3: at Mom's face in the first hit, like we like

563
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 3: we're ready to go, like pin Man was in our

564
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 3: section trying to get a chance going.

565
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 2: We're the only guys with him. Like it's going to

566
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: a game is one thing, and bringing the heat is

567
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 2: another thing. And I'm ready. I can't wait to bring

568
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 2: the heat on Thursday.

569
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: No, I'm so excited for this upcoming series. It's not

570
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: even necessarily that it's the Phillies. It's just that how

571
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: how big and important all these games, So it's you

572
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: gotta beat who's in front of you, and the way

573
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: that they're playing, they definitely can talking more about this team.

574
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: How about Tyrone fucking Taylor. Carlos Mendoza pushes the button again.

575
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: He says, Tyrone Taylor, you hit fifth, Now, how about

576
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: that you have under seven hundred oh ps. You're a

577
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: five hitter. And what does Tyrone Taylor do? Double double

578
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: home like he just continues, just continues to mash, continues

579
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: to be awesome. Made a great catch in the alcohol

580
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: say like he is the best fourth outfielder in baseball.

581
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: You couldn't have said it better, James, He's awesome. What

582
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: a good fucking ball player. We said it from day one, Like,

583
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: Tyrone Taylor is gonna be a good ballplayer, someone that

584
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: Mets fans learned to love because he's just a scrappy dude.

585
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna go out there and make big plays, have

586
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: big moments. The stat line's never gonna look pretty. You're

587
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: never gonna be like, Wow, this guy's underrated. But in

588
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: terms of like a full season, you want Tyrone Taylor

589
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: on your team.

590
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 3: It's just it's the kind of guy that works his

591
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 3: way onto a roster of a winning team. And he's

592
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 3: been a lot of the winning teams with the brewers

593
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 3: in the exact same role and done the exact same thing.

594
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 3: You're getting ten homers, getting ten steals, youre getting goodutfield

595
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 3: ever position, you're getting some good at bats, You're getting

596
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 3: a little bit of pop. You're getting a guy was

597
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 3: fun to have around. He's always smiling. Tyrone Taylor, he

598
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,719
Speaker 3: always has a good five night.

599
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: He struck out on Wednesday after that huge Jenny who's

600
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: smiling after the truck. He's like, all right, great inning guy.

601
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: It's like yeah, and he was big. He was a

602
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: big reason they started ending. Like his double on Monday

603
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: momentarily saved the season. Like if he doesn't lace that

604
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: double late in that game, I think you and I

605
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: were like really feeling that double because a Tyrone Taylor

606
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: walks out to him had a good day.

607
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 3: By by ice Cube. I was screaming it. I was

608
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 3: belting it because I was just like I need something.

609
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 3: We need some vibe right now. It's a great song.

610
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 3: I think you put out a good point that there's

611
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: a world where Tyrone Taylor is one of one, probably

612
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 3: because he's not the best. He's probably one of the

613
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 3: five best players in baseball with an on base percentage

614
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 3: just under three hundred.

615
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's even a joke with the team. Every

616
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: time he walks, they go ballistic and he like goes

617
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: out first base like pups, just like I did it.

618
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: Like he refuses to get on base he has like

619
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: a two to fifty batting average. Shout out all the

620
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: batting average people out there, it's about that's better than

621
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: the gavage other way. But he has a below three

622
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: hundred on base percentage. Were you able to pull up

623
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: a list of guys with under three hundred on base

624
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: percentage that are better in quotation marks than Tyrone Taylor

625
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: right now?

626
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, in terms of WRC plus, which is way that

627
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 3: runs created plus his Fangraft stat to kind of take

628
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 3: take all players, take all their at bats, see how

629
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 3: many runs that they create and get it neutralizes for

630
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 3: the ballparks they have, they take there at bats, and

631
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 3: he's one of five players in baseball to have a

632
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 3: WRC plus at rover one hundred. One hundred is exactly

633
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: league average. That means the league average quality. Hither with

634
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 3: the under three hundred on base percentage, and those players

635
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 3: are Tyrone Taylor, Jake Berger, John Carlos Stanton, and Shae Langeleiers.

636
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 3: Those the only players with a below three hundred batting

637
00:24:58,480 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 3: average and one hundred they're.

638
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 2: Bet at w RC plus.

639
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, on base percentage, yeah, WRC plus and the in

640
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 3: terms of just valuable players with an under three hundred

641
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 3: batting average. You got guys like base on base percentage.

642
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 3: I can't, it's all stuck on ahead. You got guys

643
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 3: like pie Crow Armstrong and Anthony Volpi, like amazing defenders

644
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: at premium positions, but go up and down they're handing.

645
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 3: Pe Crow is a lot better than Vulpy at the plate,

646
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: but like Vulpi, is still a really good defender a

647
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 3: short stop. You got she Langeleers is a catcher who

648
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 3: has power. You have Carlo Stanton who matches the ball

649
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 3: but doesn't really do anything else. Besize that Patrick Bailey

650
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 3: is really good defender of catcher Andresy Mendez about twenty

651
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 3: percent worse in league average as a hitter, but a

652
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 3: really really good second base defender.

653
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 2: Remember when we lost that trade.

654
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 5: I do.

655
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

656
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 3: Tyrone Taylor is a special player filling a valuable role.

657
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 3: And it's really really, really great that he's on this team.

658
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: No, it's it's it's awesome. And the other thing that's

659
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: happening right now too, that I think is is maybe

660
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: going a little bit under the radar, and that's where

661
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: that's where I love for this to live. He texted

662
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: me about it today during the game. The polar Bear,

663
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: mister big me Pete. That swing might be back, brother,

664
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: that swing might be back.

665
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 2: Hit that one hundred thirteen mile an hour line drive.

666
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: He pulled it.

667
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 2: He pulled it.

668
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 3: He hit the home run on Tuesday, and he is

669
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 3: very aware of the moment that's in front of him.

670
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 3: I think he's he's been able to take a step

671
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,959
Speaker 3: back and be in the present and realized that this

672
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 3: could be his last home stand with the only team

673
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: he's ever known. I don't think it's set in for

674
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 3: a lot of Mets fans because of how much other

675
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 3: shit's going on with the team right now and how

676
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 3: tight this race is.

677
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: But you got to bring it up. I'm just saying, like,

678
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 2: he called.

679
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 3: The meeting before the game on either Monday or Tuesday,

680
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 3: and he was talking to media about it, and they

681
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 3: were like, you called the meeting, and he's this is

682
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 3: exactly what pe Alonzo said. I wanted to say something

683
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 3: from the heart to the fellas.

684
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: He's so Pete.

685
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 3: It's just so him, they like, And then he called

686
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 3: that meeting. He got five hours on Tuesday again, he

687
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 3: laced that ball and he had another hit on Wednesday.

688
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 3: We scored twenty unanswered runs to close this series out

689
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 3: like this is there. There's gonna be a moment for

690
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 3: Polanso and in this Philly series, I'm confident of it.

691
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 3: I'm also very confident he's gonna come through in the clutch.

692
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, he's a good ball player. We know

693
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: thereat ball ball player. It's a weird thing with how

694
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: all his big hits have come in the moments where

695
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: they've been low leverage, or they don't matter, or we're

696
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: up by ten, down by ten. But he is a

697
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: good ballplayer. We've seen him do big hits. We've seen

698
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: him hit big home runs before. This is the series

699
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna step up.

700
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 3: We'd like to joke around and be kind of sarcastic

701
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 3: and funny on the Mets up Twitter account and after

702
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 3: hit the home run when the Mets were already up

703
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 3: four or five on Tuesday, I said, name more a

704
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 3: players more clutch than Pee Alonzo. I'll wait, and people

705
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 3: were like, dude, what are you talking about. He's so

706
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 3: not clutch. I think that Mets Twitter is so strong

707
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 3: that it becomes a bit of a hive mind at times.

708
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 3: So then, yes, we did the media marvel a few

709
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 3: weeks ago where we went through the comments section of

710
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 3: the Mets being non committed about bringing back pee Alonzo

711
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 3: in January and people saying that David Stearns is not

712
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 3: the man for the job. And then we went back

713
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 3: to after they said they were still working a contract

714
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 3: with Pete in July and people saying they didn't even

715
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: want him back. So just again, it changes quickly. I

716
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 3: think everyone objectively wants pe Alonzo back. Take a moment

717
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 3: this weekend and just appreciate pee Alonzo. Take a moment

718
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 3: in your home, Take a moment in the ballpark, on

719
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 3: the train, in the car with your girlfriend, with your wife,

720
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 3: with your husband, with your son, with your daughter, with

721
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 3: your aunt, with your uncle, with your family. Just sit down, ever,

722
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 3: just to take a moment and appreciate p Alonzo, because

723
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 3: there's a chance this is the last few weeks of

724
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 3: baseball we're going to see you from the best power

725
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 3: hitter in Mets history.

726
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's liked best, but hi, Mike Piazza, he's swinging.

727
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: He's swinging a lot better, Brandon Nimmo swinging a lot better.

728
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: To that home run to end Game three, good was good, huge.

729
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: I think it felt good for him as well. He's

730
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: been swinging the bat a little bit better, pulling the

731
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: ball a little bit more. It feels like.

732
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: Drew a nice walk to and yeah.

733
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 1: No, he's he's looking a lot better this offense season too.

734
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 3: Becose I have a bet, I have a banger from

735
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 3: Sarah LANGX hit me at at s Lang's on sports

736
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: The best in the business, Luisa and Helocuna is the

737
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 3: first player in Mets franchise history with multiple hits in

738
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: each of his first three career starts.

739
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: Let's go Louisan, hell amazing. What are you saying? Sorry? Interrupted?

740
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: No, I was saying it's big to get those guys hitting.

741
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: Because Bientos has been nice cold, it's been very very cool.

742
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: Now he did get I think a hitter two tonight

743
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, which is good, good for the psyche, good

744
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: for the mental. Still not good in the field, but

745
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: I think he'll turn around. JD. Martinez is the one

746
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: that scares right now.

747
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, also got sorry.

748
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 3: Day's been also really hot and he looks he looks

749
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 3: like he's engaged, looks like he's mentally ready. Garan Keith

750
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 3: made some comments about it looks like a guy playing

751
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 3: for his job.

752
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: All of a sudden.

753
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 3: Maybe he is, but him elevating his game right now

754
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 3: is so fucking critical, and it's awesome, huge, huge. I

755
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: did even mentioned it. Walk off hit on Monday, like

756
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 3: that was amazing, couple hits each other day. Stole a

757
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 3: base on Wednesday, sixteen for seventeen in the year, active

758
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 3: leader in stolen bases Major League Baseball.

759
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: Let's go, Starling Martine love to see it. But yeah,

760
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: I think the last bit of conversation here on the

761
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball is going to be about

762
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: j D. Martinez and what exactly do we do. The

763
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: lineup just feels better without him right now. The lineup

764
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: has performed better without him right now. Uh, he looks

765
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: more lost than I've really ever remember a hitter of

766
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: his caliber being in a very very long time. Monday

767
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: night he had some of the worst at bats I've

768
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: ever seen. They gave him the wet night off on Wednesday.

769
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: He's just he seems very caught in between. But now

770
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: with these games mattering so much, he kind of came

771
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: force it, right.

772
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like there's there's the two things in

773
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 3: my head were like, Okay, this is a cold streak

774
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 3: from a professional hitter and also like, okay, just the

775
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 3: bats do visually look bad.

776
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 2: He's check swinging, he's chasing.

777
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 3: JJ Martinz is one for his last twenty six, he's

778
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 3: nine for his last fifty six. He's nineteen for his

779
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 3: last hundred and six. He has a five ninety ops

780
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 3: in his last thirty games. It's very bad. And there's

781
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 3: just this Mets. The roster got crowded quickly. You have

782
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 3: Starling Martell, you have Jesse Winker, Fianzos, Luisa Helicuna. Now

783
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 3: again I said that before, but Wewn Lindor is ready

784
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 3: to play.

785
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 2: If he's ready to play.

786
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 3: There's a real argument for a lot of other guys

787
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 3: to have these at bats at DH over JD Martinez

788
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 3: and then you know what, put JJ Martinez on the

789
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: bench left he comes in out of the pen.

790
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: You have a great pincher. They're ready to go.

791
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 3: Like there's there's a lot of ways to help the

792
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 3: team win. If he's not hitting second, third, fourth, fifth,

793
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 3: sixth at the beginning of the game, there are and

794
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 3: like when you're his opportunity comes like he's not professional.

795
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 3: I trust that he will do something with it, but

796
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 3: right now he probably just needs a bit of a breather.

797
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely needs a bump, definitely needs something. I don't

798
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: know what it is, but he just does not look

799
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: like the same hitter that he was even a month

800
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: ago at this point.

801
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 2: No, he does not.

802
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 4: End.

803
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: I think it's another good time to take a break.

804
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 3: So let you guys hear from another sponsor.

805
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: All Right, we're back, uh, and of course we have

806
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: to talk about the pitching. We haven't even we haven't

807
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: even addressed the pitching. We're thirty minutes in. This is

808
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: what we do. You're gonna let me and James ramble

809
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: when the Mets are playing. Well, you're locked in for

810
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: an hour. You got another thirty minutes with us here.

811
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the pitching, because the pitching so much

812
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: has been so damn good, so damn good. You had

813
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: your Jeremy Hefner jersey on at the game on Tuesday.

814
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,959
Speaker 1: You did a little jersey swap picture in the stance

815
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: which looked absolutely insane. Credit Jeremy Hefner. Our king them,

816
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: of course, but we do have to talk about the

817
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: guys actually out there performing every single time. The first

818
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: one I want to talk about, Tyler McGill texted us.

819
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: He said guys, are you awake? And I said, yes, Tyler,

820
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: what's up? He said, watch now, watch me throw this

821
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: pit and he fucking diced up. The Nationals looked really,

822
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: really good. He was getting up to what ninety seven

823
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: at times, he was mixing pitches like there was not

824
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: really any moments of there was a moment earlier in

825
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: the game, but then he kind of really settled in,

826
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: especially after we scored those runs. Major shutdown ending, which

827
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: he's not good at normally.

828
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 3: No, that shotdown ending was the moment where I was like, yes, yes,

829
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 3: And also the moment when we mentioned before and Vianzo's

830
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 3: made the error in the third or fourth inning, and

831
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 3: Tyler McGill did give up the one run, but didn't stuck,

832
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 3: didn't stumble out of control, didn't throw any bad pitches,

833
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 3: didn't lose himself, didn't lose mechanics, didn't lose his zone,

834
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 3: and he just kept right on it. I'm just I'm happy,

835
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: I'm proud, I'm relieved. The command was still iffy. Overall,

836
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 3: he threw fifty six strikes and thirty eight balls, and

837
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 3: that ratio was that ratio was much worse for the

838
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 3: first four innings compared to the last two and then

839
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 3: but you know what he got there. He once we

840
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 3: took the lead, he was strong, he was consistent. He

841
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,959
Speaker 3: didn't let the Nationals beat him. He didn't let himself

842
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 3: beat himself, which is man. But he was just on

843
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 3: the fastballs against a bad Nationals lineup. I'm going to

844
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 3: challenge them and they're not going to beat me. The

845
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 3: fastball got up to ninety eight miles an hour. It

846
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: fell down to ninety four by the end of his outing,

847
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 3: but that was fine. The fastball generalated the four seemer

848
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 3: eight of his eleven whiffs. It was really good against

849
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 3: the lefties. He put a lot of lefties way on it,

850
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 3: especially James Wood. Twice those are bats against James Wood.

851
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 3: He looked dominant. I know James Woods arooie, he's twenty

852
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 3: one years old, but he is the guy to worry

853
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 3: about in this Nationals lineup, and Tyler McGill handled him well.

854
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 3: The rest of the arsenal really didn't show up, but

855
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 3: the fact that he just kept showing more pitches, which

856
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 3: what we said about Tyler McGill for years is everything

857
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 3: that keeps hitters just thinking enough about everything else. And

858
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 3: then nineties haif mile Pernara fastball that split second, it

859
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 3: whizzes by you, and that's how you get these guys out.

860
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 3: The two seamer was active, the command on it was

861
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 3: still not good. I really don't love the game plan

862
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 3: on it. I think he's trying to throw a little

863
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 3: too many of them running away to the lefties. I

864
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 3: do not like that. That's a very scary pitch. You're

865
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 3: begging to leave one over the plate. But it didn't

866
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 3: happen this one. He was so close with the sliders,

867
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 3: so she just missed the bottom of the zone. With

868
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 3: so many of them, they've never been on it. But

869
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 3: then it was still good enough to show. Showed the

870
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 3: split lots of colors and curves still strikes early incounts.

871
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 3: He's been so fucking important to this team over the

872
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 3: last few weeks. I can't even believe how important he's been.

873
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Tylerer is a guy who ourselves included.

874
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: We've we've written off the times, but in Tyler's last

875
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: four starts, basically since he came back into this rotation,

876
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: since he's been a part of this team again at

877
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: the end of August, the Mets have won every single

878
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: game he has pitched. It. That's insane, that's a crazy status.

879
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: I know we're not a win lost podcast. We're not

880
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: a win loss podcast, but for Tyler and McGill, I

881
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: will be. And again he has not exactly face murderers row.

882
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: It's been the White Sox, the Red Sox, the Blue

883
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: Jays and the Nationals. But you play who was on

884
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: the schedule.

885
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: I don't care.

886
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 3: Yeahs don't ever. I haven't missed a game in like

887
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 3: two months. Here, we're not missing anything. But Gary Keith

888
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 3: talked about it too. Because everyone makes so much about

889
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 3: strength to schedule, strength to schedule, strength and schedule. We

890
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 3: talked about it last night because there are still people

891
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 3: that are played paid to play baseball professionally. They have

892
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 3: bats and they have gloves. They're out there the play.

893
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 3: The Nationals and the Reds objectively stink. They win, watch

894
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 3: forty four percent of their games like that.

895
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 2: That's not this.

896
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 3: You still have to go out and beat these teams.

897
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 3: Like The one reason right now the Mets are even

898
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 3: ahead of the Braves and Standings is their difference against

899
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 3: these bad lower division teams. That's why we're ahead of

900
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 3: them right now.

901
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: For those of you out there that maybe gamblers for context,

902
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: like the house edge on blackjack is fifty five percent

903
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: to the house forty five percent of the player. So

904
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: you're you're the Washington Nationals every time you play black jack,

905
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: and you still run it out there every single time

906
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: you think you can win. These are what these teams do.

907
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 3: But that again, you still have to go out there

908
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 3: and beat these teams. The Braves have lost five games

909
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 3: this year to the Reds. The Braves lost a game

910
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 3: or two this year to the White Sox.

911
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: They got owned by the Nationals this year. We went

912
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: eleven and twelve against the Nationals. I think the Braves

913
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: have a below five hundred record against the Nationals this year,

914
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: which is crazy.

915
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 3: There was a tweet that put it together. I'm trying

916
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 3: to find it right now, I can't scroll to it.

917
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 3: But the Braves, against those same bad teams that the

918
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 3: Mets are railroading, weren't able to beat them. I think

919
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 3: that that's relevant, like people, oh god, yeah, bad team merch.

920
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. You have to beat these fucking teams

921
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 3: and then we're gonna now it's over the matter. Not

922
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 3: playing game gains team er five hundred the rest of

923
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 3: the season. It's over ten games against playoff teams the

924
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 3: rest of the way, not two playoff teams, the one

925
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 3: team we're gonna keep out of the playoffs.

926
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 2: But it's relevant.

927
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 3: And again, Tyler McGill being to come back up in

928
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 3: this rotation when the world was against him, when we

929
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 3: lost Paul Blackbird, who we traded for literally just so

930
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 3: Tyler McGill wouldn't start, for him to come back up

931
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 3: and do this and changes, changes approach a little bit

932
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 3: and just go out there. Get lengthd be effective so important.

933
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 3: This is why you need depth of a roster. We're

934
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 3: seeing Luisa and Helocunya, Jose Glacis, Tyler McGill. These are

935
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 3: guys that weren't expected to contribute early in the season.

936
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 2: But the season is long. Your rosters an organism, It grows,

937
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 2: it shrinks to the balls. This is why you need

938
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 2: so many pitchers. You never have enough pitching. And this

939
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 2: is why you do it.

940
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: Yep, shoutou Jose Kintana, dice them up again. I mean,

941
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: it's it's never pretty, it's never sexy. The best you're

942
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: never blown away. But man, when that guy's getting two

943
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: or three inches off the outside corner, nobody can touch them.

944
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 2: Jose and Tana.

945
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 3: Tonight National's eighteen balls in play, you know how many

946
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 3: were on the ground.

947
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 2: Fourteen exactly, fourteenths.

948
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 3: That was disgusting, and the Mets infield defense was awesome,

949
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 3: Jose Iglesias. Some of the best hands in the league still,

950
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 3: Louisa on Helakuni amazing out there. Jos Katan Also, since

951
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 3: he had that seven run blow up against the against

952
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 3: the Orioles in August twenty fifth, I think it was

953
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 3: August twentieth, nineteenth, whatever, it was, four point five seven ERA.

954
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 3: After the starts against the Nationals on Wednesday, three seven

955
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 3: point four ERA, twenty three and two thirds consecutive scoreless innings,

956
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 3: He's only allowed one earned runs is August twenty fifth.

957
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 3: That one earned run was scored by the Chicago White Sox.

958
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: Nice.

959
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 3: He has not allowed earn run to anybody besides the

960
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 3: White Sox since August twenty fifth. It's like, it's incredible,

961
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 3: like this guy's gone out, he's done so well, and

962
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 3: you could you see how so happy the rotation was

963
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 3: when he came back to Dugga after that seventh inning,

964
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 3: they were dancing and screaming in their arms around each other.

965
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 3: Jose Kintana might have the whitest teeth I've ever seen.

966
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: His teeth are is so white. I want to know

967
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: his regimen.

968
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 5: What was he do?

969
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: What's his morning routine? Because wow, those were pearly white.

970
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,720
Speaker 3: Bottom line, he's a pros pro and he's he studied

971
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 3: this rotation and I know it. I talked a lot

972
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 3: of shit about Josekatana. We are not here right now

973
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 3: without Jose Katana. Nope, another guy. We're not here without

974
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 3: Sean fucking Manaia Sean, and Iyah's give him all the money.

975
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 3: He's the ace of the staff. I don't know about that.

976
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 3: He's the ace of this staff. He's become one of

977
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 3: the true workhorses in Major League Baseball. He has the

978
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 3: longest reak right now of any pitcher in baseball going

979
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 3: back twenty twenty two of consecutive stars at least six

980
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 3: and two thirds innings, pitch seven in a row, seven

981
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 3: in a row. I say it was a five and

982
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 3: dives Since then, he said, fuck you, James, I'm never

983
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 3: throwing five innings again. He has the twentieth most innings

984
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,280
Speaker 3: pitch in baseball this season, and the most by eleven

985
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 3: full innings since the first of July.

986
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: It's impressive, especially because he was five and dive for

987
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 1: the first few months of the season.

988
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 3: He deserves cy Young votes like he's put himself. He

989
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 3: put himself into that category with how he's played. Dicomo

990
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 3: had a great tweet where he's basically like in the

991
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 3: National League Shomanai's top ten every meaningful category besides shrekouts

992
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,479
Speaker 3: and walks, which he conveniently left out, but the other ones,

993
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 3: everything else, he has top ten literally and this was

994
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 3: It's weird because the Mets scored ten runs back to

995
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 3: back days, but Monday, the offense was dead. If trum

996
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 3: and I gives up three runs in that game, we're

997
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 3: not talking about the series the same way we're not

998
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 3: talking about this week the same way he.

999
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 1: Gives up two, we lose. We had to score second

1000
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: in extra raittings.

1001
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 2: I'm nonsense. We scored that run too.

1002
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 3: But it's it's incredible And all of this comes back

1003
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 3: to just thanking Jeremy Hefner. For some reason, people turned

1004
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 3: on him when everyone in the baseball world who works

1005
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 3: for these teams is so jealous of the Mets for

1006
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 3: having him. He's survived three regime changes. If the Mets

1007
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 3: got rid of him, he would have a job in

1008
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 3: three nanoseconds, in moments the second of tweet was out.

1009
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 3: He would have any job he wanted. He's so accomplished

1010
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 3: that if he didn't have his Mets job, he might

1011
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 3: do the Erra Cressy and just start his own pitching

1012
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 3: laboratory himself, because he's so fucking good at this. Do

1013
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 3: you remember when there was that bit this season, through

1014
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 3: ninety five games, the Mets didn't have a shoutout.

1015
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 1: I do because we were at the first game where

1016
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 1: they shut out the day game.

1017
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: The Mets have now shut out their opponents eight times

1018
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 2: and fifty one games.

1019
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: It's disgusting.

1020
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 3: Since August first, Mets starting pitcher have thrown the most

1021
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 3: innings in baseball. They have the third lowest earned run average.

1022
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 3: I mean, imagine that shit. Can you imagine that shit?

1023
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: I don't have to, I'm living in it. I'm seeing

1024
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: it happen.

1025
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 2: And then everyone also talked a lot of shit about

1026
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 2: the bullpen.

1027
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 3: You know, it's still not great, but since August first,

1028
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 3: we have the tenth lowest bullpen in array in baseball.

1029
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 3: We're in between the Phillies and the Dodgers.

1030
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,959
Speaker 1: That's that's top, that's top one third of the league.

1031
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 2: And again that Philly bullpen, they are array.

1032
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 3: That's skewed because of Taiwan Walker, who were going to

1033
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 3: see on on Thursday, So we're getting ready for that one.

1034
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: But it's every single pitcher on this staff right now

1035
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,439
Speaker 3: is getting more than we thought we'd get out of them.

1036
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 3: And some of it just comes back to the natural

1037
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 3: oscillations and the pitchers command. That will always happen. But

1038
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 3: there's so much credit that has people stowed on to

1039
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 3: Jeremy Heffner, And holy fuck, do I love this guy?

1040
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 3: Does anyone else have their pitching coaches Jersey in the

1041
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball?

1042
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: And that's a four years that's a four year old Jersey. Now,

1043
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: that's not New Jersey. You were hip to the game

1044
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: the second they hied them. I text you in all

1045
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: caps is I can't fucking believe this is happening. I'm

1046
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: stick got Jeremy Heffner. You're like, what the fuck are

1047
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: you talking about. One of the first episodes we ever did,

1048
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: we just talked about how great Jeremy Hefner was and

1049
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 1: that's what sparked you to buy the Jeremy Hefner Jersey

1050
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: was how great of a pitching coach we thought he

1051
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: was gonna be Eddie has been. He's been incredible. What

1052
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: he's done with this team has been great. Pitching has

1053
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: been money. Let's keep pushing it on through to this

1054
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: Philly series. Before we get going into a media marvel

1055
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: and the Phillies Quick little Phillies preview, we do have

1056
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: some injury news to go over with the team. Of course,

1057
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 1: Lindor we don't know whether or not he'll be back

1058
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: for the Philly Series or not. Obviously did not participate

1059
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: in any of the games. We'll wait and see there.

1060
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: Code I Sanga working his tail off apparently plans to

1061
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: get to Triple A this weekend, could line him up

1062
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: to maybe pitch in Atlanta, could line him up to

1063
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: maybe pitch against the Braves again, and that would be blissed.

1064
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: That would be amazing. Paul Blackburn, also trying to get

1065
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: back by next week. He had spinal fluid leakage, which

1066
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: sounds way worse this everyone's saying this. It sounds way

1067
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: worse than it is. Feels scary, though.

1068
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 3: He said the injury felt like his back was a

1069
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 3: compressing a pepsi can.

1070
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even know how what that

1071
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: could feel like.

1072
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 3: And he got ten PRP injections. He was like, I've

1073
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 3: never heard anybody getting more than one of those. Again,

1074
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 3: I'm not trivy with all the medical stuff, but like

1075
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 3: this sounded extreme. The fact that he's doing everything he

1076
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 3: had to get back to throw like three innings against

1077
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 3: the Braves. It's fucking awesome.

1078
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: I love that. I mean, dog, absolute dog. And then

1079
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: we got a poor one out for our boy, Christian Scott,

1080
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,320

Speaker 1: I'm not.

1097
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 3: I'm worried about the lant. I'm worried about Philadelphihillis. I'morried

1098
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 3: about the Land of Braiser. I was the only thing

1099
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 3: I'm worried about.

1100
00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: It's like when I streamed on Twitch back in the day,

1101
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: people would be like, who do you think the Mets

1102
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 1: are gonna sign this officer? Like, dude, we're in June.

1103
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: I want to think about this year. I'm not ready

1104
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: to think about the end of the season.

1105
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 3: We are excited for all season content. We're gonna bring

1106
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 3: it that to you, but it's not gonna happen until

1107
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 3: a long way away.

1108
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: That's right. And before we even get to that next

1109
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: way way away, we got to word for another sponsor.

1110
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: All right, James, Uh, I'm gonna let you. I'm gonna

1111
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: let you do this media marvel because the people have

1112
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: been the people I've spoken, they're they're foaming at the

1113
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,760
Speaker 1: mouth as they were on Monday night, on Oneday afternoon,

1114
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: all every day they've been mad at me. Go for it,

1115
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: get it started.

1116
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: Yep.

1117
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 3: If you guys have been here this season, we have

1118
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 3: I think my favorite segment that we do is called

1119
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 3: the media marvel.

1120
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 2: I broughably.

1121
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 3: I brought it to Mark at the beginning of the

1122
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 3: season when I was like, yo, Mark, we we have

1123
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 3: some freedom again. I want to talk to about some

1124
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 3: people who say some some bad stuff on the internet.

1125
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 3: And it's been great this year. We talked about Michael Kay,

1126
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 3: we talked about Ellie de la Cruz, truther Is, we

1127
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 3: talked about the lind Orks. And now Mark, the eye

1128
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 3: of the world is on you. You are today's media marvel

1129
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 3: because you said on Monday that the Mets organization, because

1130
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 3: they painted the seat purple, do not care about baseball.

1131
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna give you a little bit right here

1132
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 3: a few minutes before we prove the Philly series to

1133
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 3: just try and defend yourself for the people because they

1134
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 3: are mad at you.

1135
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: First off, you minced my words. I said, I wish

1136
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: this organization was focused on baseball. Focused is the word

1137
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: I used. Okay, So Shakespeare what started this? Of course,

1138
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 1: they installed the commemorative purple seed at City Field for Grimace.

1139
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: And I'll start by saying this, apologies to the purple

1140
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: blob that is Grimmas. Apologies to the Mets fans. I

1141
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: let you down I was a cranky old man. I

1142
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: was a fucking loser. I love the Grimace seat. I'm

1143
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: all in three and zero. That being said, I'm just

1144
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: going to defend my take one time for the internet

1145
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: to hear, because I don't get to explain this on Twitter.

1146
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: My whole reason for not liking the Grimace seat when

1147
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: it was announced was because to this point, and even

1148
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: still to this day, the Mets have done nothing this season.

1149
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: This is just a commemorative seat to remember that we

1150
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: had fun. We had good times, lots of laughs, good memories.

1151
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: Remember when grim has happened in a world where the

1152
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: Mets did not make the playoffs, right, they don't make it.

1153
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: This is a fucking joke.

1154
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 2: This is ridiculous.

1155
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: We are commemorating a season that was fun and for

1156
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: a organization that, let's be honest, is one of the

1157
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: biggest laughing stocks in all of sports. I don't think

1158
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: we should be adding fuel to the fire by saying

1159
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: the Mets fucking retired to seat. They painted it at

1160
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: purple for a figure that is from McDonald's. Don't think

1161
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: this isn't propaganda for McDonald's either. This is fucking McDonald's propaganda.

1162
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: It's better marketing for them than it is the Mets,

1163
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 1: and they want you to believe that it's for the team.

1164
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: It's not. It's for McDonald's. But at the same time,

1165
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 1: where I was going with this teams hang banger banners.

1166
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: Teams celebrate championships winning. That was my whole point. I

1167
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 1: hated the fact that we were celebrating fun rather than winning.

1168
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: I think the best way to promote this team and

1169
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: market this team, as I've said earlier in the podcast,

1170
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: is winning. The team has been winning. There are more

1171
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 1: people showing up. Nobody was fucking there Monday night to

1172
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: see this stupid fucking purple seat. That being said, I

1173
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: apologize to the Grimace gods. I apologize to Roderald McDonald.

1174
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: Whatever you're doing up there, You're you're watching doubt on me.

1175
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm terrified. Don't apologize to the Hamburglar. I apologize to

1176
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: the Hamburglar legend. I would never besmirch the Hamburglar's name,

1177
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: and I should never be smirch Grimas's name. I was

1178
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: a cranky old man. I knew I was gonna be that.

1179
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 2: Just returns to the game time home run on Clay Holmes.

1180
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,760
Speaker 1: Love to see that fantastic news. And that's what happens

1181
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 1: when I apologize. I apologize to Ron McDonald, Grimmas and

1182
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: the Hamburglar, and good things happen. Let's fucking go Mets,

1183
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: Let's fucking go Grimace. Love the seed.

1184
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 3: I'm in totally, And just to give a little bit

1185
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 3: of your defense, the Mets season felt a little differently

1186
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 3: on Monday afternoon, so differently. Our playoff odds have jumped

1187
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 3: like thirty percentage points since then, so again, the vibes

1188
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 3: are different. We're now, yeah, we're two games up on

1189
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 3: the Braves, We're tied with the Diamondbacks, we're two and

1190
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 3: a half behind the Podres. Again, things are a little

1191
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 3: bit different. But and again, I think some times you

1192
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 3: don't think about, like, you know, the corporate business world

1193
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 3: so much where you're like, how could they have decided

1194
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 3: to do this today, where I'm like, okay, they probably

1195
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 3: decided to do this weeks ago, and they do Today

1196
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 3: was going to be the unveiling this fan appreciation week.

1197
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 3: The fans love Grimmats, the people love Grimace, of course, but.

1198
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: Wait, can I jump in real quick too? You said

1199
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 1: appreciation week. I thought it was also lame that the

1200
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: fan appreciation was painting a seat purple?

1201
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 3: What about like tickets to make They're doing tons, They're

1202
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:23,479
Speaker 3: doing tons of stuff.

1203
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 2: This weekend, they're doing a block party. I think every

1204
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 2: single weekend about.

1205
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: The rest of the week, what happened Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

1206
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 2: Weekends aren't almost there. So people working.

1207
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 3: I think that's not the thing we talk about before.

1208
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 3: I thk people in New York City are too focused on

1209
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 3: their jobs. That's true, spoken from some guys that don't

1210
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 3: have real ones. However, however, I get to the ballpark

1211
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 3: and and you have a beer and Jory, now we're

1212
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 3: trying to get we're ying together. Friend Alex at the

1213
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 3: ballpark and he's too borried about finance for the kick.

1214
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 1: He's he's been sitting on his couch and he sat

1215
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: down on his couch. In the tenth inning of Monday

1216
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: night's game, Martape proceeds to get it hit almost cicily.

1217
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:54,479
Speaker 1: He can't leave that couch.

1218
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 2: I love you out.

1219
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: He can't come back to the games yet yet.

1220
00:47:58,200 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 3: True, But I just I wanted to call attention to

1221
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 3: your comment because I think, yeah, the people, man, this

1222
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 3: is what people hated it.

1223
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: This what's for I deserve the hate. I was right,

1224
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: but I deserve the hate, and I flip flopped back.

1225
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: Peer pressure always wins. Don't do drugs. Let's go Mets.

1226
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 3: Yes, let's go Mets. Don't do drugs. Grimace is God.

1227
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 3: And now we're ready for the Phillies preview. We just

1228
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 3: played this team last weekend. Absolutely everything is online these

1229
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 3: four games against the Phillies feral tomorrow, and I'm already

1230
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 3: foaming at the mouth. I'm cutting down the moments like

1231
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 3: an enter city field because I'm ready to rip. I

1232
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:33,800
Speaker 3: want to beat this team.

1233
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 2: I want to. I want to get one over on

1234
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 2: this team. I want to.

1235
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 3: I want to leave Nolke shadow of a doubts. So

1236
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 3: what's going to happen next week? By beating this Phillies

1237
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 3: team four times in a row, three out of four

1238
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 3: times at minimum, I think that.

1239
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: What No, no, go, go, go, my ben.

1240
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 3: This Phillies team has been the only real door on

1241
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 3: our sides for the last three weeks. We didn't get

1242
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 3: to play them in the last three months when they

1243
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 3: were struggling, and now they've gotten hot again. They beat

1244
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 3: those in two fifty to fifty games on Saturday and

1245
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 3: Sunday last week after to beat the piss out of

1246
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 3: them on Friday night. Those are games that you might

1247
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 3: win in Frances school indoor plays, you might not. Those

1248
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 3: are games that you might win with some different decisions.

1249
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 3: With Carls Mendoza, you might not. Those you were in

1250
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 3: all of those games. There was not one moment that

1251
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 3: three game series. This is Bank Park where you felt

1252
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 3: like you don't belong on the field with the Phillies.

1253
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: Where they felt like they didn't belong with us.

1254
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 3: I'm in a fantasy baseball league with a with a

1255
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 3: Phillies fan, and I had never met him in persons.

1256
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:24,879
Speaker 2: Another competed to the fancy baseball player.

1257
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 3: I met him at the game on Saturday and we

1258
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,879
Speaker 3: were dming a discord after the game, is talking about

1259
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 3: the game, talking about the season, and he said, Man,

1260
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 3: I really don't want to run into you guys again.

1261
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a sentiment from all Phillies fans,

1262
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 3: but I think the Phillies fans can look across the

1263
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 3: field and understand that this Mets team is not to

1264
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 3: be trifled with. This Mets team is a real baseball

1265
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 3: team that has real, true aspirations past the playoff birth

1266
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 3: This is a team that has the best record in

1267
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 3: baseball since June first. This is a team that has

1268
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 3: a rotation that's grooving right now. This team that has

1269
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 3: a bullpen that could be a little bit better. This

1270
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 3: is a team that has a lineup right now that's

1271
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 3: feeling themselves. This is a man and that's pushing almost

1272
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 3: all of the right buttons.

1273
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 1: I want, and we have a purple seed.

1274
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 2: And we have a purple seed, and we have the

1275
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 2: magic of friendship. I want to take this series to

1276
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 2: this fucking team.

1277
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 5: I do.

1278
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, this we These next four days could define the

1279
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 2: Mets season. They can.

1280
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: I want to come out of the series with a

1281
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: four game lead over the Atlanta Braves. I want a

1282
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: four game Wildcard lead over the Atlanta Braves going into

1283
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: Atlanta after this series. And I don't think I don't

1284
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: think that's crazy to ask for. I think all Mets

1285
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: fans should want, should want blood from the Phillies. And

1286
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: it starts with Taiwan Walker on Thursday. Caviat love Taiwan

1287
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: Walker as a person. This has nothing to do with

1288
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: him personally. Fit freend to the channel frand of the podcast,

1289
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: but I hope we beat him so bad that the

1290
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: Phillies leave him stranded in New York City. He never

1291
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 1: goes back to the Philadelphia. I know he lives in

1292
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: New York City. He doesn't want to go back to Philadelphia.

1293
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: He has to, they're paying him. But I want to

1294
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: beat him so bad that the Phillies say, don't worry,

1295
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: you never pitch for us again.

1296
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 3: Funny story, guys, first year we're doing Mets stuff. Mark

1300
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 3: this isn't me.

1301
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 2: He's a cheating bastard or something along those lines.

1302
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 3: So that was a hand up by a really funny

1309
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 3: I can't go to this game because of my cousin's wedding.

1310
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,240
Speaker 3: I want to be there so badly.

1311
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 2: I am selfish.

1312
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 3: I'm not even going to be thinking thinking about about

1313
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 3: the wonderful ceremony. I'm going to be watching because all

1314
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 3: I want to do is be a city field. At

1315
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 3: four to ten on Saturday, Sean and I versus Ranger

1316
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,879
Speaker 3: Suarez left the off back to back, left the offs.

1317
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 2: Wow.

1318
00:51:53,440 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 3: And then Sunday Night Baseball, Zach Wheeler versus Tyler mc gill,

1319
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 3: and the Mets actually haven't fully said that Tyler McGill

1320
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 3: is gonna have that day. I don't know what they're

1321
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 3: waiting for. I don't know who could be pitching that

1322
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 3: day instead of Tyler and McGill. No one, really, no

1323
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 3: one honestly, but that that's gonna be a game where

1324
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 3: it's I don't even know how many feel in that game.

1325
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's there's a lot of emotions that

1326
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: could be felt. It's really gonna depend on what happens

1327
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: in the first three, what happens with the Atlanta Braves,

1328
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: what happens with the Diamondbacks. Don't forget with the Diamondbacks too.

1329
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 3: So also, this series is monumentally important because the Padres

1330
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,320
Speaker 3: are idle on Thursday, there's our last off day of

1331
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 3: the season, last off day that we have that they

1332
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 3: don't have in the season. And then uh, they have

1333
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 3: a three games series at home against the White Sox. Yes,

1334
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:42,720
Speaker 3: so these four games because the Phillies are massively important

1335
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 3: if we want to jump to the Padres try and

1336
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 3: get a home wild card series. The Diamondbacks are gonna

1337
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 3: get their schedule right now. But I think I think

1338
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 3: it's the Giants off the top of my head. No,

1339
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 3: it's the Brewers. Four games against the Brewers. There it is,

1340
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 3: and the Bruises clinched. The Bruces are gonna play a

1341
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:58,879
Speaker 3: hungover game on Thursday, So that's that's a tough beat.

1342
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: But we can't worry about that. We win at have

1343
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 1: to win.

1344
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,399
Speaker 2: We have to win our games if the Mets.

1345
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:06,959
Speaker 1: If the Mets don't lose the rest of the season,

1346
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: they are in the playoffs.

1347
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,879
Speaker 3: Yes, and uh, we just played the Phillies, so it's

1348
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 3: not much really look out for this team to be different.

1349
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 3: At Mundos, who's Mundo Sosa was activated? He he had

1350
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 3: left these pretty well and.

1351
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,919
Speaker 1: He's all got hit an umpire at some point this game.

1352
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 3: He's hit two umpires the last couple of years somehow,

1353
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 3: some way, but watch out for him.

1354
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 2: But otherwise, just like we saw what his team is.

1355
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 3: The top of the lineup is amazing, the bottom of

1356
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 3: lineup is annoying. The bullpen is really fucking good. The

1357
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 3: rotation is pretty fucking good. Don't let Brice Harper beat you.

1358
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 3: Don't let Bryce Harper. Se will be Savarino three times. Maybe,

1359
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:37,359
Speaker 3: I don't know. We'll see how that game is going.

1360
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 2: But it's just this.

1361
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 3: You you want to you want to be the best.

1362
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 3: You gotta beat the best. They're the best team in

1363
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,959
Speaker 3: the National League. If if we want to go off forward,

1364
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 3: no matter what, we're going to have to beat the

1365
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:47,879
Speaker 3: Phillies at some point.

1366
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 2: Let's start right now.

1367
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: Let's start it now. Don't forget Thursday. We'll be recording

1368
