4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: You see, we're here at the Mets Auditorium. I think

5

Speaker 2: it a lot.

25
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: He wrote down all the nicknames of John that we've

26
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: given him throughout the podcast. There are quite a few

27
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: some that I even forgot about, So I can't wait

28
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: to go through that at the end. But let's just

29
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: go ahead and rip into it. Game one not great, No,

30
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: really bad.

31
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 3: This kind of just felt like a team that just

32
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 3: came back off a ten day road trip, you know what.

33
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: And they were a team that did just come back

34
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: of a game road trip, and they were talking about

35
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: it on air a lot too. That I think the

36
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: Mets got on in at like six am the day

37
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: that the head off. They did have an off day,

38
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: but got at six am, and that's like a very

39
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: very weird time. I'm sure Veto can also relate a

40
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: little bit too, because Veto was coming in from Hawaii.

41
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: You were coming from in from LA So that time different.

42
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: Does it hit you hit me a little bit personally?

43
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: You know, like three hours isn't a crazy time difference.

44
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: But even waking up on Thursday morning, I still felt

45
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: like I don't feel like I would wake up a

46
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: normal time yet. Yeah boys rally too last night. Yeah Yeah,

47
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: But I mean big, big Knicks win, Big Knicks win.

48
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 1: Oh what a week, What a week for the Knicks. Yeah,

49
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: that's so.

50
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 3: Then the Knicks were the only New York team who

51
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: had playoff games this week too, So we're good.

52
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't have to talk about the other ones

53
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 1: by any means. But yeah, so this game, it didn't

54
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: start off well. Josiah Gray, new York kid, made him

55
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: look like a superstar. I mean, he looked he was

56
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: a top prospect at one point in the Dodgers organization,

57
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: but had struggled and had been up nukes left and right.

58
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: Did not do it in Game one. Jasigra was a.

59
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: Fun prospect coming up because he was a shortstop who

60
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: converted himself to a pitcher I think either before the

61
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: draft or lower minors.

62
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I felt like that.

63
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, he gained like three

64
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 3: or four six on his fastball and Dodgers like, oh

65
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: my god, we have something here. And he originally was

66
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: in the trade that said Max Scherzer and trade Turner

67
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: Los Angeles in twenty twenty one. But he has really

68
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 3: kind of been not that great for the first couple

69
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: of years of his career, especially his fastball has been

70
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: very hittable, and in this game we just kind of

71
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: mad him look like a superstar. He mess had mess

72
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 3: with twenty times on Tuesday Night. That's the second most

73
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: with Josiah Gray has ever gotten in a single game

74
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 3: in his career. His sliler looked completely unhittable and his

75
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 3: fastball was making us miss left and right, and usually

76
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: that's the pitch that gets crushed.

77
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

78
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: No, I mean the bats were not swinging it very well,

79
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: especially the first two games of this series. We know

80
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: they didn't really show up, but Jusiah Gray was definitely

81
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: pitching well on our side of the mound. Jose Budo

82
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: getting the spots start because of all the injuries and

83
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: the suspensions and what not going on. So Jose Buddo

84
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: comes back up, makes a second start not as successful

85
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: as the first one. And we've talked about this with Budo,

86
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: like between last year and then let's start last week

87
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: and a half or whatever. He just he has the

88
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: makings of someone who could be useful major league pitcher,

89
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: but he doesn't really have an outpitch, so it gets

90
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: very hard for him to get guys out. He kind

91
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: of needs to have perfect.

92
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: Command to really have an efective out of because he

93
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: had the fastball's kind of just fine. It flows between

94
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: like ninety three ninety five miles an hour and then

95
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 3: change up. That's good, but then it's just that. And

96
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 3: he had a color he was using the last time.

97
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: This time was classify as slyder Mason. Maybe there's got

98
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: a little more movement. And he threw a couple of

99
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: curve balls, which is something new for him too, So

100
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 3: definitely trying to use some offspeed pitches and breaking balls

101
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: doing that, but it just again wasn't really working. He

102
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: wasn't like he wasn't he has to live in the

103
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: shadows you to get guys out. He wasn't able to

104
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: live in the shadows this game. After he turned the

105
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: lineup over once, he walked five of the next fifteen

106
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 3: batters he faced until he left the game after the

107
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 3: Nationals bat through one time around.

108
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: Now very good.

109
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: National's only chased eleven percent of Jose Budo pitches that

110
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: were at the strike zone two and they have a

111
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: thirty percent chase rate on the season, which is the

112
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: seventh worst in all of baseball. So it was just

113
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: very clear that the stuff that Buda was throwing wasn't

114
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: really enticing them the way other pitchers might.

115
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and watching the game at home, like you said,

116
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: like all the stuff that you just kind of explained,

117
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: you could kind of see as well watching it at

118
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: home or if you were at the stadium. You just

119
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: couldn't get the outs when they were necessary, worked long

120
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: at bats, end up getting on base, and I mean,

121
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: all things considered, though he did only give up two runs.

122
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 3: For sure, a lot of it was nibbling because you

123
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: want to hit an edge, but the Nationals weren't chasing it,

124
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 3: and then they were taking walks. But you only gave

125
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: up five hard hit balls and limited the damage to

126
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 3: two runs. The Mets are very much in this game

127
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 3: while Jose Buda was in, which was cool. It's just

128
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: like a very it's a really tight rope for Jose

129
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: Budo to walk when he throws his fastball sixty percent.

130
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 2: Of the time and no one is no one swing

131
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 2: and missing.

132
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: I think got either one with or zero and Nationals

133
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 3: made contact with it eighty percent of the time the

134
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: pitch was in the strike zone.

135
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it just it just straight up wasn't

136
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: a very good game for the Mets. That end up

137
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: losing this one five nothing like we said, the bats

138
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: really didn't show up, only five hits in the game

139
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: against the Nationals. Pitching again, ju Ziahgrad did pitch really well.

140
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: But you talk about their bullpen. Mason Thompson we saw

141
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: in Game three and we got to which was very

142
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: very nice. He had another out and giving them three

143
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: out of out of the pen, getting the old fashioned

144
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: saved there with the three innings. Yeah, but you know,

145
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: you wanted to see the team swing the bat a

146
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: little bit better. There wasn't really a whole lot great

147
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: to take out of this one, and I don't really

148
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: feel like talking much more about it.

149
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: No, he got out of the hands and we don't

150
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 2: really have to explain that now. You guys watched it.

151
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: You saw what happened.

152
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: I want to live it, especially because we have to

153
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: talk about Game two now, which.

154
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: This was the second day in a row.

155
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: We made the young kind of disappointingish pitcher of the

156
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: Nationals look ridiculously good.

157
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: But we also knew that there was a world where

158
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: Mackenzie Gore could do this. It just he felt like

159
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,119
Speaker 1: the guy that could do this kind of stuff.

160
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 3: And Mackenzie Gore was coming off last week one of

161
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: the best starts of his entire career, and now we

162
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: then we get him on Wednesday, and this was the

163
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: second third time and his career struck out ten. He

164
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 3: the Mets WITHIF nineteen times, which was a career high

165
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: for Gore. But this was the second straight start where

166
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 3: he set a career high. It's seventeen whiffs last week,

167
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 3: so it seems like mackenzie Bore could be turning a

168
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 3: bit up a corner.

169
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 2: Here. He was throwing that curveball and it.

170
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 3: Was just getting great movement and guys were swinging through

171
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 3: it left and right. But he also had twelve whiffs

172
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: on his fastball, and this came oow. Mackenzie Gore's fastball,

173
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: similar to Gray, has not been, as I want to say,

174
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: as advertised because it's I don't know, so looks good,

175
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 3: but it hasn't been a pitch that's been a useful

176
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: pitcher from the major leagues. But twelve wifts on it,

177
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: that was a career best. Along with Withston total. Like

178
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: I said before, we only had three hard hit balls

179
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 3: off him. We really couldn't do anything against McKenzie w No.

180
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: Definitely, the offense seemed off again, a little bit funky,

181
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: little bit, just just something wasn't right and it showed

182
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: in the outcome as well. We only scored one run

183
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: in the two games against the Nationals, which maybe we

184
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: didn't give the Nationals enough credit.

185
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 2: Is that it I don't know, maybe a.

186
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 3: Little bit just for these pitchers having a bit more

187
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: of a top end than we gave them credit for,

188
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: and the fact that they did give them lengths so

189
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 3: they were able to use their best relievers that aren't

190
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: really bad relievers. We kind of chastised the back of

191
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: the Nationals bullpenks. True, we get to them at some

192
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: point this year is and that didn't happen, So shame

193
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 3: on us.

194
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

195
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: What was the guy's name?

196
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: Uh, daddyus Ward? Yeah, Thaddeus War And I hope he

197
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: warming up. And Hobie Miller and we were sitting in

198
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: the booth and I was like, who's Ward. You're like,

199
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 1: I told you Thaddeus Ward. I'm like, I completely forgot

200
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: that guy exists. That he was out of my brain.

201
00:06:58,960 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 4: Yeah.

202
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: And the other thing to talk about from Wednesday's game

203
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: is Kodai Sanga. Kind of a lot of the things

204
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: we talked about during his last two starts, those concerns

205
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 3: kind of rearing their ugly head once again. The leadoff

206
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: man reached base in four of the five innings that

207
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: Sanga pitched, and three of those were lead off walks,

208
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: which you just hate to throw a leadoff walk as

209
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: a pitcher, and to do it, to do it, and

210
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: there was three of the first four innings start the

211
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: game was just it was a lot for him to

212
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: work through it, and you could really see that the

213
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: adversity was adding up and adding up.

214
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: I remember, like in the past they always talked about

215
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: like it was like a new term I feel like

216
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: in the early twenty tens of like stress pitches. Yeah,

217
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: and like when guys are on base, how those pitches,

218
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: even though like it is in theory like still just

219
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: one pitch, they do end up mattering more like to

220
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: a pitcher and how they feel during the game or whatnot,

221
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: because of the stress that it is added.

222
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: And he was in a lot of stressful situations early

223
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: in this game.

224
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, And this was his third trade start where he

225
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: walked four batters, and he's walked them up about in

226
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: every start he's made this year, which is a bit concerning.

227
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: But the other part of that, which was weird to me.

228
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: While this was tied for the most walks he's had

229
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 3: in the game so far, this was the highest swing

230
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: percentage against Sanga in a start all year. But the

231
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 3: Nationals were also very very aware of when to take,

232
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: so they were taking the ones that they should have

233
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 3: been taking and swinging when they should have been swinging.

234
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: Kind of like well, I explained the last episode about

235
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: how there's a bit of a bit of a dance

236
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 3: with Code I sang, a bit of a cadence that

237
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: the league seems to really start them begetting the hang

238
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: up against him.

239
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we talked about this when we brought

240
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: up Sanga early in the in the season. We're like, hey,

241
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: there's gonna be ebbs and flows with him. We say

242
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: in every episode that we talk about him because we

243
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: want to make sure that you guys at home or

244
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: wherever you're listening to this as Mets fans, you understand

245
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: that Code I Seanga is going to be very good,

246
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: but it's just it's going to be an adjustment period

247
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: and you're seeing it happen. I'm happy it's happening in April,

248
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: like that's that's a good sign.

249
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 2: At least.

250
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this was worse early than he wound up

251
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 3: settling in. Again, had this very much in position to

252
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: win this game, similar with the Jose Budo who didn't

253
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 3: exactly pitch great and Tuesday night, but also when he

254
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 3: left the game, we stilled opportunities to win it.

255
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: Yep, your boy Brigham came in the game. Yeah, did

256
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: go up the run, He did up a run. But again,

257
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: like at the end of the day, the Mets also

258
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: is game four to one. Yeah, you score four runs,

259
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: that's like usually kind of like the bare minimum of

260
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: what you need to score to win a game. So

261
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: if you give up four, that's like at that point,

262
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: it's really more so on the offense not showing up

263
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: for sure.

264
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: And it's a little bit similar to what we're going

265
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 3: to talk about from Thursday's game in a second. But

266
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: when you're a Mets team who's only gone six innings

267
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 3: from the starting pitchers I think five times so far

268
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: this season, you kind of have to ask his bullpen

269
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: guys give you a little more, a little more. And

270
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 3: when Jeff Brigham has to come out the second inning

271
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: of work and face a lefty who is like a

272
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 3: major league galiber hitter like Himer Candelario.

273
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 2: You only have so many.

274
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: Weapons against that lefty. I mentioned the fact that he's

275
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: been using that color. He debuted it on Sunday against

276
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 3: the Giants as a weapon against lefties.

277
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: He threw that one against Candelario.

278
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 3: You couldn't get the call strike with it, kind of

279
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: sat at the top of his own almost got him.

280
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 3: Then he wound up throwing three sweepers basically in the

281
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 3: exact same spot, and the third of those three Candelario

282
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: guys hands inside it and like just.

283
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: Play it out.

284
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: It was it swing and miss or ball in the

285
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: first one, because I remember we were going through the

286
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: sequence last night.

287
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 3: It was I think the first one might have been

288
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: a call strike, then a foul ball, and then the

289
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: home run.

290
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it was like he saw it, almost got

291
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: it now, Yeah, he ran out of pitches, he had

292
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: to throw.

293
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen. I know it happened as well.

294
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 3: That right, It's okay, it's just still still Jeff Brigham

295
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: still like one five of course. Yeah, of course it's

296
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: the we don't get the full brig a minute, no,

297
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 3: because again we did lose a series, so we got

298
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: to be at a little bit, but something that was

299
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 3: cool though happened in this game and why the Bar

300
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 3: had a nice hard hit triple against a lefty. So

301
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 3: the fact that why the Wesco Bar is like reacclimating

302
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 3: now to this new role was kind of cool. The

303
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 3: fact that he can spell Brett Bathy against lefties and

304
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 3: be a productive member of the offense a very good thing.

305
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: And we've always said, like his right handed swing, like

306
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: we love when he faced lefties last year, we're like, oh, righty, lefty,

307
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: Like he does hit the ball significantly better, it seems.

308
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: Like, and we're kind of seemingly we'll talk, we'll give

309
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 3: all the flowers for Francisco Alvas and Brett bay And when

310
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 3: we break down Thursday's game. But the way that they're

311
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: being used right now is kind of perfect. Where Baty's

312
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: playing most days a week except against lefties, and Alvarez

313
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: is becoming something of the starting catcher with Neitos spelling him. Yeah,

314
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 3: for those few days, always a Sanga game and usually

315
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 3: one more.

316
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: Which yeah, I mean, it's it's a good way I

317
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: think to ease these guys in to a role that

318
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: they'll eventually be able to take over.

319
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 3: I think pretty easily, totally, and this this was brutal though.

320
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: When we lost this game on Wednesday nights, it was

321
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: our first. This is the longest losing streak we've had

322
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: since twenty twenty one.

323
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: Dang, what do we even know? What was the losing streak?

324
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 2: Do we know off the top of our head?

325
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like it was probably I think

326
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: we probably had more than one that year, but I

327
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 3: feel like thaties against the Marlins in Miami probably had

328
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 3: a game lost before after. Okay, yeah, we got swept

329
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: in Miami and like you really kind of ended that season.

330
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a little bit, and that kind of felt

331
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: like what that was?

332
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean luckily we did have the Knicks to

333
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: really yes, totally a little bit less.

334
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, hurtful.

335
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: We got to see the Knicks move on to the

336
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference semi finals, right oh yeah, So shout Knicks

337
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: fans out there and real New York team and we.

338
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: Were hanging out at our favorite bar in Midtown shout

339
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 3: out Jack Dempsey's watching this game and everyone kind of

340
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: hung out because the Bucks were playing the Heat right after,

341
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: and if the Heat would have won, they would have

342
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: gone on too. And Jimmy Butler made a heroic play

343
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: with no time on the clock after a ten point

344
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: comeback by the heat and then a grave overtime. And

345
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 3: everyone's going ballistic watching this game except one wonder. Digula's

346
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: guy at the bar, this old guy who wound up

347
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: like learning his story.

348
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 2: He works on Wall Street.

349
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: He comes up to Midtown every single day after work

350
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: to drink and then he goes back at like midnight

351
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 3: on the ferry all the way that like the top

352
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 3: bottom of the Toddville which is right next to Perth,

353
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 3: and boy, frals everyone out there who knows, like we're

354
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: Jersey Staten Island stuff is crazy. Our bartender was like,

355
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 3: he does this every single day. I can't believe it.

356
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 3: And he will gambling talk. He had all his parlays

357
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 3: that night, had the bucks in them. Yeah, and he

358
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: watched that game. All the Knicks fans were going crazy

359
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 3: around him, screaming, cheering, celebrating, And this guy watched every

360
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 3: single bet lose at once while he was like sad

361
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 3: at the bar every single day and about take a

362
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: ferry back to Staten Island for.

363
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: Like two hours. Yeah it's about two hour me like midnight.

364
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: He probably got hungover on mad coming back.

365
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: It's so long that guy definitely seems like someone would

366
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 3: probably have a flask on hands.

367
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah that's fair, that's fair.

368
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, so that one made the loss a little

369
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: bit better at least in our eyes because we could

370
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: forget about it. Yeah, and going into Game three, which

371
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: we were at today, as you know, we're filming this

372
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: at City Field. Nice to be back at the stadium.

373
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: First time in a very long time we've been here. Well,

374
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: how many days has it been, like.

375
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 3: Thirteen twelve about yeah, because it was that day game

376
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 3: against the Padres. Yeah, it was a Thursday, so that

377
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: feels like forever ago. Yeah, that was forever good Wednesday.

378
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 3: It was one Wednesday.

379
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, it was the twelfth, April twelfth, thirteen days

380
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 4: and that was a day game too, at twelve ye,

381
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 4: so we were out of here by like five six o'clock.

382
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: That's when we got here today. Yeah, oh my god.

383
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: This is predict It's also just weird.

384
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: I was talking to some people in the office to

385
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 3: say that the Mets had this long of a road

386
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 3: trip this early in the season, Like, I can't remember

387
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: a time where we're this far out of the City

388
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: Field this early on.

389
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: No I mean the Mets.

390
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: I don't know now what the stat is, but before

391
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: they started this series against Nationals, they did play the

392
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: least amount of games at home in Major League Baseball. Okay,

393
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't know where it stands now, but I'm sure

394
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: they're probably still towards the bottom. Yeah, just a tang

395
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: day road trip. Yeah, probably for the rare for a

396
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: team in April.

397
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 2: So let's talk about Game three now.

398
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: Joey Lucazy, Joey Fuego, friend of the podcast of course,

399
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: on the mound another just clap it up. Great start

400
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: by Joey Lucazy. Couldn't couldn't go to sixth, couldn't finish it?

401
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: Janst him, Yeah, James put your hand up for that one,

402
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: because we were we were watching the game and we're like,

403
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: joe Lucay is gonna be the first guy to go

404
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: six innings in twenty starts this year. And James like

405
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: always got this, and like within minutes he got taken

406
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: out of the game. The next pitch was a single,

407
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: then the rally began. It was all over. But you

408
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: still gotta give Joey's flowers.

409
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 2: For sure.

410
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 3: There was a big there was a little bit of

411
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 3: a rally in the first inning. It threw over twenty

412
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 3: pitches and he really settled in nicely, gave us that

413
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 3: you answer this, And he's been a godsend for what

414
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 3: this rotation needs, just because from where this team was in,

415
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 3: like the middle of January early February, we've lost four

416
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 3: out of the five pitchers we expected to be in

417
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 3: this rotation.

418
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: He's kind of taken like the King Conna Roll a

419
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: little bit of like it now feels like every five

420
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: days we know we're gonna get five out of him.

421
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: At least it's ironic.

422
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: He's kind of taken the guy we saw on the

423
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: other side tonight, Trevor Williams role where he just kind

424
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 3: of came up and he's just gonna pitch and he's

425
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 3: gonna pitch' not really gonna strike anybody out, he's not

426
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: really gonna look great doing it, but he's going to

427
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 3: get everyone out and he's gonna keep you in the

428
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 3: game every single time he's out.

429
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 2: There hundred percent.

430
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: Now we can talk about the offense, because there was

431
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: no offense the first two games. Game three, the bats

432
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: were alive. There were so many hits and Brett Baty

433
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: giving us that home run in the fourth inning was huge,

434
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: and we were joking about it when we were sitting

435
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: watching the game and his OPS was on the screen

436
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: and it was like five hundred five or six hundred

437
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: something like that, and I was like, it's so crazy,

438
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: how when he hits a home run like that will

439
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: jump one hundred and fifty points and it will look great.

440
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: And if you look at his numbers now to end

441
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: the game.

442
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 3: At the end of the game he was hitting after

443
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 3: three hits, including a home run and a walk, Brett

444
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 3: bay raises batting average of three twenty one and his

445
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 3: OPS to eight fifty one.

446
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so about two.

447
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: Hundred point rais in batting average and almost over a

448
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 3: three hundred point raised OPS from one game where he

449
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 3: got on base four times.

450
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: Now, it was really really good to see him hit

451
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: like that. He looks really really comfortable at the play. Yeah,

452
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: Like I think that Brett Batty. We saw last year.

453
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: We got sparks, right, We saw like some potential there.

454
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: We saw the home run on his first at bat. Now,

455
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: Brett Baty looks like a major league baseball player. And

456
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: what we tell you guys last episode, he's learning. You

457
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: can see he had a big on base streaker. I

458
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: think he's got on base seven out of eight games

459
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: that he played in. Shout out Johnny Stats. Shout Johnny Stats.

460
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: This was his first three hit game of his career

461
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: as well. And she just is getting closer and closer

462
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: and closer. And today he just popped off, yep.

463
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: And he got on base four times. Yeah, four times.

464
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: That's great from the bottom of the order for this

465
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: team that's been very, very struggling at the bottom of

466
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: the order.

467
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: Yes, and to flip over there, over Fisco, over us too.

468
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: We'll talk about him in second physical indoor also got

469
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 3: doubled down the line to extend our lead in I

470
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 3: think it was the fourth inning after the baby solo

471
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 3: home run, his six hundredth RBI of his career as

472
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: well as six hundred first So shout out Francisco for that.

473
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 3: This was his first really big game in about the week. Yep,

474
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: definitely needed it.

475
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: He had. I think he had four hard hit.

476
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: Three base balls of m saying three hard hit balls,

477
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: two doubles two. I think he also had three balls

478
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: to the warning track as well, Yes that back, Yeah,

479
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: we a couple of those balls remember that got hit

480
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: were like, how did that that one to two one

481
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: in the eighth, Yeah, the eighth in the eighth in

482
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: the rally, couldn't believe that ball didn't even get to

483
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: the warning track because he smoked it. He looked like

484
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: he thought he crushed it too. But you look at

485
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: this lineup in this game. Nimo had four hard hit balls,

486
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: Marte had two, Lindor had three, Pte at three. Every

487
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: single person in the lineup that had an at bat

488
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: had a hard hit baseball. Yeah, that's exactly what you

489
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: want to do against the Nationals and to hit. And

490
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: oh I didn't even notice that everybody had a hit

491
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I mean, what do we have sixteen hits?

492
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: I think on the night sixty seventeen hits.

493
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: And yeah, that's why he got very It got very

494
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: scary in this game in the middle of ins because

495
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 3: the Nationals did really storm back and make us get

496
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 3: really scared nervous the first time in the sixth hitting,

497
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: as we allude to before, where Lukey you couldn't get

498
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 3: through that sixth inning Tommy Hunter came in. I think

499
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 3: that's just a function of the fact that this ball

500
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: has really been pushed to the edge and not be

501
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 3: in a lot of line from starting pitching, so you

502
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 3: can bring in Tommy Hunter have a jam, which is

503
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 3: not necessarily his role. And the Nationals did get a

504
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: couple of Harry the runners home, but it was okay.

505
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: We got through that, and then Lindor hit the second double.

506
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: It re extended the lead. Then we got to the

507
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: eighth inning and I said, Tommy Hunter came in the

508
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 3: sixth and he was still out there in the eighth

509
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 3: because we needed some length to have a guy in

510
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 3: that bullpen, and it happened to be him, and then

511
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 3: it didn't work.

512
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: It did not work.

513
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we tried, tried to get the length, tried to

514
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: push it. You can see it. There's a bit. There's

515
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: a big series coming up against the Lander and they

516
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 1: did the Land of Braves, so you can kind of

517
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: put the pieces together as to why this was happening.

518
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: And if he could have given us that third inning

519
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: really would have been huge, because then maybe you don't

520
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: have to use robertson. Yeah, especially with Ottavino now on

521
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: the paternity list. Like the bullpen is a little bit shorthanded,

522
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: per se, especially with like our high leverage guys. It

523
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: didn't end up working. Brooks really came in, I think

524
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: hit a batter, and then C. J. Abrams came to

525
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: the plate, hand up. This one's on me. I at

526
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: the beginning of the game, I just go, I don't

527
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: think C. J. Abrams is going to be pretty good. Huh.

528
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: I was like he might just not be good. Even

529
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: this that bad. I think you were like, oh yeah,

530
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: like Bob, the ow is coming up. Yep, yeah, yeah,

531
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: you know. And then and then I looked at you,

532
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: I said, here it is. I did it. I called Stone.

533
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: Garrett was gonna have a big game before we started.

534
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: I was like a huge warning track game, a huge

535
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: warning track game. He was sending that warning shots. He

536
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: was letting everybody know, like, I mean, the dude's absolutely yoked.

537
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: And John John had a cool little stat for us

538
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: that his dad was named nicknamed Rock. Yeah, and that's

539
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: why he's nicknamed Stone. His dad gave him that nickname.

540
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: So good good scoreboard work there, John, But yeah, cj Abrams,

541
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: it might be one of the hardest hit balls he's

542
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: had his career. Crushed it off Brooks Rayley, five run

543
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: eighth inning. All of a sudden, we're down. But this

544
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: is a big narrative piece for us right here. We

545
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: talked about this while was happening. Yeah, something happened when

546
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, lind Door made an air that inning too,

547
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: and it seemed like something clicked in the Mets hitter's head.

548
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: You had the middle of the order coming up, and

549
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: they were like, we're not losing this game. We whatever

550
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: just happened doesn't matter. We're gonna pick everybody up. We're

551
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: gonna make a big difference. Starling Marte got that single,

552
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: Lindor hit the one that we thought was gone, and

553
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: then Peeke smoked a huge.

554
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 3: Double tide again and Jeff MacNeil had the triple take

555
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 3: the lead. It really it felt like what happened the

556
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 3: bottom of the inning might have been the most encouraging

557
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 3: moment of Mets baseball this entire year, because you were

558
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 3: looking at you were staring down at getting sweat by

559
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 3: the worst team. Near the vision, you were already lost

560
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: four and row, You're about to have lost five in

561
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 3: a row, with if four games set against your art rival,

562
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 3: the Atlanta brey is coming up, and they just said,

563
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 3: we're absolutely not gonna lose this game.

564
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: There's there's nothing you could do to make us lose this.

565
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was like that was a big moment of like, Okay,

566
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: these guys got like did these guys can handle the situation,

567
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: they can handle the pressure like they it seemed like

568
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: they took the reins into their own hands a little

569
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: bit there of like we're not losing, like you said, no,

570
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: this is this is absolutely unacceptable.

571
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 2: We're not gonna let happen. And it was.

572
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 3: It was cool because it's it was hot like that

573
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 3: Marte hit was just a rope for a single yep,

574
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 3: for a second pitch oft the inning. The Lindor came

575
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: up there and it really every when the ball parked

576
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 3: all you hit the home run. It looked I think

577
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 3: he thought it was a home run two and it

578
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 3: was really And Martes told the base before that and

579
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 3: this was a cool thing because since you stole second,

580
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 3: that ball was hit really hard. He waited, he tagged,

581
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 3: got the third base, but just went out, which at

582
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 3: the time you're down one run, that's really am luge.

583
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 3: You kind of blew it out of the water after that,

584
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 3: so it didn't really matter as much, but everybody had

585
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 3: their eyes on the prize there to try and do

586
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: anything possible to win this game, which I want to

587
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: deal with that triple off the spot that I said

588
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 3: earlier in the game. I was like, man, that new

589
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 3: right field really hasn't like played much of a difference

590
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 3: at all this year, it seems like. And Jeff McNeil

591
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 3: hits it off the wall on a ball that could

592
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 3: have been caught, and I think might have been caught

593
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 3: had the old dimensions been there. But because the wall

594
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: is a little bit closer now, I think who is

595
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 3: at lane Thomas and right field. I think he felt

596
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 3: the wall a little bit close, kind of kind of

597
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 3: just missed. It didn't really seem like he knew where

598
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 3: he was. He also like hit the top of the wall. Yeah,

599
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 3: that would have been a really really crazy catch.

600
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: But I'm saying without that wall, that could be one

601
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: that like he runs and catches and then runs into

602
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: the wall kind of thing.

603
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: For sure.

604
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 3: Another great stat here at John provided for us. That

605
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 3: was the seventh career go ahead hit by Jeff McNeil

606
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 3: on the eighth inning or later in a game.

607
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 2: Dude, it's a friggin beast.

608
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 3: He's clutched and even like Jeff McNeil, where people we

609
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 3: talking about him having not so good as season the

610
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 3: other day. He's now hitting three hundred with an eight

611
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 3: thirty three OPS on the season.

612
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: I've been getting tagged on so many things because I

613
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: always say Ozzie Albes is so overrated, the most overrated

614
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: player in baseball. He's plazing ht right, Yeah, I know

615
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: he's blazing hot, but that's because you swing the bat

616
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: right handed.

617
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: Let him left the all day and he doesn't do anything.

618
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: But I was getting tagged and like you say, all

619
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: bees overrated, and like putting his numbers next to McNeil's,

620
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: and that was like from old numbers. It's like, look

621
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: at Jef McNeil's now, oh oh, he's back. He's back

622
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: to being one of the best hitting contacted players in baseball.

623
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: Also, a big thing that happened in this game we've

624
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 3: mentioned a few times is the fact that Baty and

625
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 3: Olivera is one wears in the line up, hitting eighth

626
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 3: and ninth, and we talked about Baty getting on base

627
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 3: four times. Francisco Oliveras also got the base hit and

628
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 3: drew a walk those two back of the season.

629
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 2: That's huge.

630
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 3: Goes to getting on base six times from the eight

631
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 3: or ninth spot, that's ridiculous. Ridiculously efficient a billy to

632
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 3: turn the line up for spots.

633
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: That, relatively speaking this year have been kind of automatic outs. Yes,

634
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: so to be able to get any production and get

635
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: elite production like we did tonight.

636
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: You can see what it does. This entire lineup. I

637
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 2: guess the wheels churning a little bit more.

638
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: Brandon Immo comes up with guys on base sawing more,

639
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: Tay Francisco indoor. This is why they're able to score

640
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: eight runs in a game, have sixteen hits because the

641
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: lineup is moving.

642
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 3: And six different guys in the lineup had an RBI

643
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 3: and it was every single hit there, three, four, five, six, seven,

644
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 3: and eight.

645
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 2: Every single guy had an RBI. And like, yeah, it's

646
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: the Nationals.

647
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: We know, like there's still not one of the good

648
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 1: teams in baseball by any means, but the fact that

649
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: like they were able to get these bats going coming

650
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: up into a big series against the Braves when it

651
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: did look really really bad coming into tonight, and at

652
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: point tonight we got very worried. Yeah, really really like nice,

653
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: I think like a little bit of a deep breath

654
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: of like, okay, all right, they're good. They got this

655
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: big series next it's just it's it's kind of just

656
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: cleanses the mind. Yes, for you, you can go into this

657
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: game tomorrow now feeling okay, like what happened those last

658
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: four days that sucked. Wish one of those games, maybe

659
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, maybe home against Nationals.

660
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 3: You're in basically all of them. You really wish would

661
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 3: have got one of them, but you didn't. But you

662
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 3: know what happened tonight? You you guys, you s. Everyone

663
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 3: stepped up, picked each other up, and you played. You

664
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 3: had one of the best endings of the entire seieson

665
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 3: hundred percent. That's huge for the morale too. I think

666
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 3: that's like a game. You come into the locker room

667
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 3: and you're you get you're pumped with the boys, and

668
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 3: the opposite of that the same day, the Braves actually

669
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 3: blew a big leader and night then yes, aj Minter

670
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 3: and we will talk a little bit more about here

671
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 3: the Braves roster in a second. But aj Minter has

672
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 3: been falling apart at the scene.

673
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 2: Socially. It has been things you hate to say, Yeah,

674
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: things you hate to see.

675
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: So before we talk about the Brave series, of course,

676
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: we have to, you know, do the estimate for this one, John,

677
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: I believe you're keeping track who won the estimate this week?

678
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 4: Well, there were seven. It's the little bases between Dominic

679
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 4: Smith who doubled. We knew that was gonna happen. I mean,

680
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 4: how could that not happen?

681
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: It was a lock.

682
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, well uh between dom Pete Alonzo and Marcana.

683
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

684
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 4: Uh so James James the champions.

685
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 2: I think that is that four two? I think it's

686
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 2: four two four two. Okay, it still.

687
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 4: Wasn't striking his I mean, look, last year there was

688
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 4: like a six or seven game lead if you would,

689
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 4: and a great comeback. So been a close mark.

690
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 2: I'm a fighter. I'm a fighter that was before John

691
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: Star shaving points.

692
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 4: That never happened. There's no NBA free scandal here anyways.

693
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 4: Now I move on to this Brave series.

694
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: What were you saying James as a Johnny Hill, Johnny Donahue, I.

695
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 4: Don't want to talk about other sports right now.

696
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: Guys.

697
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 4: You know you guys have your nicks. I'm not a

698
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 4: big knick guy like that. I'm a you're trader, superclaim.

699
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: That's from a big raider.

700
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 4: I moved to Brooklyn. I have I have pride in

701
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 4: my Borrow.

702
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 2: Everyone knows. Everyone knows that the nets are defined by Brooklyn.

703
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm also from New Jersey.

704
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 2: Did you root for before you moved to Brooklyn?

705
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 4: So all right, I texted my friend last night, you're

706
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 4: from New Jersey, how do you feel about the hockey series?

707
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 4: Then it's different. It's different. It's different. It's different. I

708
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 4: don't need to explain myself to you. It's different. Yeah. No,

709
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I was a big Nick fan back

710
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 4: in the day. Like I texted my friend. He was like, yeah, cool,

711
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 4: did you see the game? I was like, yeah, man,

712
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 4: but like it's not the same with Audimon Shumpert around,

713
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 4: you know, it's just like quickly that's how I feel.

714
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but sometimes the player Emnt Trumpert ever was whatever,

715
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: I was so crazy.

716
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 3: How much you love college basketball? You wouldn't like be

717
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: invigorated by a major Knick series.

718
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 2: The only thing you have is college Yes.

719
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 4: But I also have the Rangers right now, and I

720
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 4: mean for now I do. It's you know, by the

721
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 4: time Saturday's around, it probably.

722
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 2: Won't not be great.

723
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, but anyway, I mean, maybe the mess can keep

724
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 4: keep my mind off of that. As the Braves come

725
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 4: into town. But there's also some storms apparently coming into town.

726
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 2: Bruin a little bit.

727
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, so a little precipitation in the forecast. So here's

728
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 4: the estimate for this week. We were going to do this,

729
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 4: I think last year, for that last series in Atlanta,

730
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 4: when they were thinking about moving it or there were

731
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 4: all sorts of.

732
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 2: Concoctions being thought. I forgot about that.

733
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 4: Then they just played the three games. I wish they didn't,

734
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 4: but they did great to them and there was no rain.

735
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,479
Speaker 4: But this weekend's all can give. We got ninety three

736
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 4: percent chance of rain on Saturday ninety four on Sunday,

737
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 4: we'll see what happens. So I want you guys to

738
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 4: tell me how many innings of baseball will actually be

739
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 4: played between the Mets and Braves this weekend. And keep

740
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 4: in mind, if the Mets win, I guess that kind

741
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 4: of shaves it, we'll count that ninth inning. Obviously, it

742
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 4: doesn't have to be a full inning. Oh interesting, okay,

743
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 4: And if a game starts, just so there's rules, the

744
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 4: ground rules are set. If the game starts and it

745
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 4: gets banged before the fifth inning, we are going to

746
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 4: count those innings as being played. Yeah.

747
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 2: Interesting, Oh, I have my whiteboard my backpack.

748
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm together.

749
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 4: Oh, I forgot the whiteboards.

750
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: So if it gets back, so we're still counting the innings.

751
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: And if it's an official game, we're not giving it nine.

752
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: We're just giving it no.

753
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, if it's a five inning game, then it's a

754
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 4: five board.

755
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, from my whiteboard. I don't have a whiteboard. Yeah,

756
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 2: you get my I left them upstairs. Sorry, I'll just

757
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 2: I'll shout it out loud. I think that's a good idea. Yeah,

758
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 2: I'll just shout it. James can write it.

759
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 4: I mean, you're helping the audio guys. You know the

760
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 4: people of course at the audio's just listening.

761
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 2: I think a lot more than happy. We met someone.

762
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 2: Did you give us his name? He didn't give us.

763
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: He didn't give us his name.

764
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: But we met someone today where we were sitting down

765
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: to the third baseline and we just picked a random spot,

766
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: sat down, and the guy sitting next to us.

767
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 2: I think he was a man. I don't know. I

768
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: don't know what his age was. I have no clue.

769
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: He's not gonna speculate. No, I'm not gonna speculate either.

770
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: But you know who are who you are if you're

771
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: listening to this.

772
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 4: He didn't.

773
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 2: When we sat down, he didnt say anything.

774
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 1: But then me and James started talking like about baseball

775
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: as we do when we're at the games, and he

776
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: immediately like turned and was like, I listened to you guys.

777
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: I know who you guys are. I follow you on Twitter.

778
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: So it's very funny to think, Uh, we forget sometimes

779
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: they don't know what we look like.

780
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,600

00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,240

Speaker 4: the game, and I love keeping my pencil inside the

800
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 4: lines all the way. And got a picture of each other,

801
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 4: and we had to color somebody else.

802
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 2: I'm in. I mean, how many different colors we need

803
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: to color pictures of each other?

804
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 3: I mean, like beige and brown? We all kind of

805
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 3: got blue. Wye, I all look basically the same. We

806
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 3: got blue the same person. You got your number, guy,

807
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 3: I do my number. I got my number two.

808
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 2: I'm trying to I'm i to try to be a

809
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: little junk with this one.

810
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: All right, ready, yea three two one for those of

811
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: you at home, mine sus twenty seven. I did thirty

812
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: one expecting the rain. I'm just I'm thinking we're gonna

813
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: get three, and that's really where I'm expecting to try

814
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: to play four.

815
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 3: Okay, because this this is only the first of only

816
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 3: two times. You are overreacting to that, Braves, No, I'm

817
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: not a reacting because if usually when you have a

818
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 3: divisional game and you realize you're gonna have more chances

819
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 3: to make games up this year, this year with the

820
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 3: new Grant movie schedule, it's not gonna happen anmore. It's

821
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 3: only one more time. The Braves are coming here. Yeah,

822
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 3: but they're still coming here one more time. It's not

823
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 3: like they're done, I know. But if they're coming here

824
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 3: one more time, how many games can you see?

825
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: One?

826
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 4: Maybe?

827
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, one exactly. That's why they can cancel it twenty

828
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: seven lock it in.

829
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 4: I kind of likes, thank you.

830
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm doing I'm doing thirty one day. I really

831
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: think you're gonna try to get a fourth game in.

832
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: All right, all right, we'll see, we'll see what the

833
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 2: weather does.

834
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: And then we said again, next time, the Braves are

835
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: coming here in August August fifth, No, August.

00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 2: okay the Braves don't.

838
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 4: The Braves are in Pittsburgh before that trip.

839
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: That might be a Sunday night baseball game. Maybe it's not.

840
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 2: It's listed one for you right now.

841
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 4: Be able to be flexed because thes are playing good ball.

Speaker 4: a sun well, definitely baseball.

845
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 2: It probably should be.

846
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: Probably, Yeah, I really, I really hope it's a Sunday

Speaker 3: Hey, hey we can curse. I love messed up after dark.

00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 3: Last year, we did so many messed up after darks.

852
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 3: This is only the first one this year. This is

853
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 3: the first one.

854
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. I mean it's like three weeks into

00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: the season as well, so yes, yeah, it's kind of

858
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 3: Also, I guess before we do Brave series, just shout

00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: Patch did look really good, really cool.

861
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 3: That the team just totally quickly, like efficiently responded to

862
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 3: concerns from fans. Yeah, the blue and orange definitely looks

863
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 3: a lot better and much tighter at much tighter, much smaller,

864
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 3: fits the jersey a lot better. So shout out to

865
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 3: New York Presbyterian for coming through and the fix.

866
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 2: Here we go.

867
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: No, no free ads, but I guess they're not. I mean,

868
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: we work with the team. I mean, yeah, I'm not

869
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: a free ad. Yeah, just go to us, but no, somebody,

870
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: all right, let's talk about the Braves here. Yeah, one

871
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: of the best teams in baseball you guys know them well.

872
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: They are seventeen and eight, I believe is the record

873
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: that I have for them, if it's updated on Baseball Savon.

874
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe, but seventeen eight. They just blew a game

875
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 3: against the nine.

876
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: Seventeen nine, Okay, just blew a game against the Marlins tonight,

877
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: which is great because, as we mentioned, aj Minter is

878
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: falling apart, which is awesome to hear because their bullpen

879
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: is definitely probably their shakiest thing on their entire team.

880
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 3: Also, cushout out to the fact that we beat the Marlins.

881
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 3: I think it was two out of the five out

882
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 3: of seven games, right, and now they're thirteen to thirteen. Yeah,

883
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 3: so they're eleven eleven and six against the eleven in no,

884
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 3: I'm doing bad math right now.

885
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: Eleven eight agains the rest of the league, I guess. Yeah,

886
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: their decent team. John called it.

887
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 4: What at what point are you going to say? Never

888
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 4: my favorite words? You were right?

889
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: No, No, oh my god, it's April twenty seven.

890
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 4: I understand that I always said is they're going to

891
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 4: be plucky. It's all I said, and maybe win eighty games.

892
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: It's all I said. You say they were going to

893
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 2: be good I.

894
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 4: Never got checked the text. I never said that. I

895
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 4: never said that the tapes. No, I never said you

896
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 4: name the model car we were in. Tell me right

897
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 4: now it was the Nissan Boat. No, And if I did,

898
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 4: I don't think I'm wrong. So Vita as a car guy,

899
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 4: I mean, what are you the one that said the

900
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 4: Oakland A's will be better than the Nationals this year?

901
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, James Is that's not over. That's not over.

902
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure what I've seen the last two weeks.

903
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: I think did just take two from the Mets. We'll see,

904
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: we'll see, all right, all right, there they go. But yeah,

905
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: to April.

906
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 3: Back to the Braagehill's probably five hundred and June last year.

907
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: It's true. That's a good point. Back to the Braves though.

908
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: The Bill Penn's definitely their weak spot. I think if

909
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: there's anywhere you can attack them, that would be it.

910
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: Although they do have some arms that are interesting, like

911
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: Nick Anderson is interesting to me because he's probably still

912
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: really good, and they have Kirby h who's probably still

913
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: pretty good too.

914
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 3: Nick Anderson has has not been great this year. He

915
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 3: actually he was pitching very well, but he just had

916
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 3: to blow up. I think earlier this week, they're still

917
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 3: striking guys out and not really walking anybody.

918
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course we'll see the old man, the criptkeeper,

919
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: Jesse Chavez. He's gonna throw such an annoying and ing.

920
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna throw only sliders and cutters.

921
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 2: And Colin mcqu's gonna shut us down for aning, no doubt.

922
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: But that being said, I think I think we're gonna

923
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,719
Speaker 2: be okay. Who are pitching matchups?

924
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: I guess we're getting four So whoever didn't pitch today,

925
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:57,719
Speaker 1: I'm loading up right now.

926
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got Free tomorrow for the Braves fun.

927
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: We weirdly have hit Freed okay at times, but I

928
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: feel like that's just Max Reid.

929
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 2: He's having a phenomenal start to year. He's giving up

930
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 2: like a run. I think in fifteen they match up plicit.

931
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 3: Right now on ESPN will be Friday night, seven o'clock

932
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 3: City Field David Peterson versus Max Freed, So have the Lefties.

933
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 3: Saturday afternoon the Fox four pm game. One of the

934
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 3: most fun game times to be in the City Field

935
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 3: by far. It's nothing better a four pm game. Tyler

936
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 3: McGill versus everyone's favorite mustache, Spencer Streyther loser, and then

937
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 3: Sunday one for the Jose Budo versus Charlie Morton, and

938
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: then Monday one o'clock Monday, mattin a weird series ending

939
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 3: on a Monday happens very rarely, but it's gonna happen

940
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 3: twice in the next two weeks for the Mets Jose

941
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 3: Boss Coda Sango versus Bryce Elder.

942
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 2: I thought Max Scherzer was going to come in.

943
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: Oh, I guess he probably should, right, Yeah, I think

944
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: that was the whole thing was then Sunday, right, Monday,

945
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: Sunday and Monday.

946
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 4: But now what if one of those games get rained

947
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 4: out they didn't play a game? Is I mean he's

948
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 4: not eligible? Yeah, he can't.

949
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he needs the games to be played because

950
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: it is a game suspension, not a day suspension. Yeah,

951
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: he's he's not listed here, but I got then he'll

952
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: theoretically probably can't listen yet because he's technically still suspend,

953
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: still suspends.

954
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's not technically on the roster, right, And yeah,

955
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 2: I would, I would.

956
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 3: I would like to see Max Scherzer because we're getting

957
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 3: the Braves through best starting pitchers Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

958
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 2: Tell me about Charlie Morton. Is he like back or

959
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: is he just back?

960
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 3: He's still fine, He's definitely He's not the Charlley Morton

961
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: of Voles was going out with Charlie Morton. Is that

962
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 3: as he continues to age, his fastball keeps losing juice,

963
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 3: which is expected, but his curveball really is what's losing.

964
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 3: Right now, he's got less break and less spind than

965
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 3: never has in his career. He's still pitching fine. Is

966
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 3: he al raising the twos? He's definitely pitching. He's like

967
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 3: out running his estimators. He's got a k raid that's

968
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 3: lower than it has been like since he got good

969
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 3: whenever that was like twenty seventeen. Again with that time

970
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: he broke back out as like a thirty five year old.

971
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 3: That just happens to guys in Houston Astros. But he's

972
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 3: someone who we probably could hit. But he's still just

973
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: he's still just a wily vet and obviously offensively speaking,

974
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 3: they mashed, Yeah, I can't.

975
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, they we say about that.

976
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: Sean Murphy mashes, Matt Olson mashes, Ozzie Alby's is mashing

977
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: right now. Austin Riley mashes, Sam Hilliard a name you

978
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: guys might not necessarily be familiar with. Came out from

979
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: the Rockies, was always like a very toolsy player. Yeah,

980
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: looks like he might have figured it out in Atlanta,

981
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: because of course he did. He's mashing and Ronda Kunya

982
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: Junior is like, so back, it's crazy, Waliku Junior. I

983
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: think it is thirteen stone bases already this season. Yeah,

984
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: thirteen for fifteen this year, more than multiple teams. Walked

985
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,479
Speaker 1: almost more than he struck out this year. Fifteen walks

986
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 1: of seventeen strikeouts. Not necessarily hitting for like crazy power

987
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: numbers just yet, but ten eighteen ops on the year.

988
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 2: Sign me up any day.

989
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 3: The week we'rels all probably gonna see a former friend,

990
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 3: Kevin Pilar in the series. He has been getting a

991
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 3: lot of run for the Braves as a corner outfielder,

992
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 3: which is interesting.

993
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 2: But they're making it work.

994
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: And Von Grisom, right, he's their shortstop again, Stonehand Grisom's

995
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: stone to Hand Grissom. He actually hasn't been a bad

996
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: shorts steps so far this season, and he's hitting, which

997
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: he's always gonna hit. But yeah, I feel like they're

998
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: kind of working himselves to a point where they want

999
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: to get him probably to an outfield corner outfields.

1000
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: Probably ye, and Marcel Luzon is not really playing, so

1001
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 2: what he stinks and shouldn't be in the league any Yeah. Yeah,

1002
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 2: as you guys.

1003
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 1: Know, struggle bust. But it's gonna be a tough series.

1004
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: Braves are very, very good. I think this will be

1005
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: a really good test to see where the Mets line

1006
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: up right now. Just on like one, having a little

1007
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: bit of a weird skid that just happened, but we

1008
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: didn't have a good offensive game, and the Braves are

1009
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in baseball.

1010
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 2: We knew this coming into the season. We expected these

1011
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 2: series to be big.

1012
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 1: It's kind of crazy because it's April, and like you said,

1013
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: with the new schedule, these games mean more now than ever.

1014
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: But it's it's an important series.

1015
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 3: There's also big because after this Brave series the Metico Detroit, Colorado, Cincinnati, Washington,

1016
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 3: that's a good stretch, so it gets light after this,

1017
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 3: So you really want to win a couple of games

1018
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 3: against the Braves and really starts to like bank those wins.

1019
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: This is like the exact opposite of last year where

1020
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: we had the easy going into the Braves didn't do

1021
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: so well now, and I think this series, especially Friday Inside,

1022
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: they are going to be really, really really important for

1023
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: David Peterson, Tyler McGill. Yes, because those guys are each

1024
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: coming off probably their worst starts of the season. We

1025
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: really need lank The bullpen's really been taxed for now,

1026
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: and Adam Anvio is not going to be here. Justin

1027
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: Ferland is not here yet.

1028
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 3: Max Schezers there's a good chance he doesn't get to

1029
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 3: the pitch in the series because what we just mentioned

1030
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 3: about suspension, we need lanked out those guys.

1031
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: We need effectiveness, and we need some efficiency. No, one

1032
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: hundred percent, but I'm really excited. It's like good to

1033
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: have like some really really meaningful baseball on April twenty

1034
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: eighth to May first. A lot of fun. Super excited

1035
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: for the series. I don't think there's anything else to

1036
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: talk about, is there.

1037
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,520

1038
