Speaker 2: Episode number one six. Just finished up a series against

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 2: the Texas Rangers. A nice series win. We finally beat

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 2: a team from the state of Texas. The boys are

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: pumped it. We really haven't beat a team from the

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: state of Texas the entire year.

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, this is the first.

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: Time, Thank Goodness, needed that series when people are starting

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: to get a little bit crazy out there, starting to

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: say things that's just not true about this Mets team.

12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: So of course we're gonna go through the entire Ranger

00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: series this episode, as well as bring in a little

27
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: first time we have doubled up on a location that

28
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: is not my apartment in a story.

29
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: Literally first time ever for the Mets Stuff podcast. And

30
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's fantastic weekend of weather in New York,

31
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: great holiday coming up, Mets win another series. Things are good. Oh,

32
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: beautiful weather at the ballpark today.

33
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: Specifically, I've now been to every single Mets game this

34
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: homestand which is.

35
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: Sand of the year, which is crazy.

36
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 2: And I, as you guys can tell them, we're in

37
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: the Seinfeld shirt from that they gave away last year.

38
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: And it's just simply because I have no clean Mets clothes,

39
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: so normally in a jersey, normally bring a little more style.

40
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 2: Although I'm not the most stylish guy by any means.

41
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: Got a niceven Line shirt if for anyone looking for style.

42
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, seven Line shirt, always doing well. But I feeling

43
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: after the series, I mean, it was a nice series win.

44
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: I feel like it's just exact exactly the way series

45
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: you feel like it should go for a team that

46
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: is good but that you are better than, Like this

47
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: series is kind of like a line between the Mets

48
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: being just one of those teams stuck in the middle

49
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: and one of those teams by the shot to get

50
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: closer to the top. Like winning a couple of close

51
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: games against a team that has good things about it,

52
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: while it's not necessarily again like a good team, like

53
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: I think it was meaningful. And the fact that a

54
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: lot of different guys from the Mets this series like

55
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: stepped up and played well was helpful.

56
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 2: You know, this is a series that we said coming

57
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 2: into it, the Mets should win, Yes, and they did win,

58
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: And let's just start talking about it right because Game

59
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: one start off a little a little scary here because

60
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: right before the game we get a little phantom il

61
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: stit for Chris Basset, who's been one of our best pitchers.

62
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: We were told he was a non injury related.

63
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: Thing, which makes you think COVID immediately ends up being COVID.

64
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: Hopefully Chris Bassi comes back soon. It was also just

65
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: that moment where you're coming off those bad losses to

66
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: the Astros, you had the off day, or like we

67
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: need a clean game Friday. We got one of our

68
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: horses that's gonna be on the mound and things should

69
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: just be okay, like just get out there. And then

70
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: at six o'clock five point fifty five, you get the

71
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: notification at Bassett is not going to start. I was like,

72
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: oh crap, Yeah that was also you were like, let's

73
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: go with the game. I was like, now, I'm definitely

74
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: not going that.

75
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: Being said, though, David Peterson, who did fill in, did

76
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: a phenomenal job. Again, I mean, how many times will

77
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 2: we pat him on the back, but he just.

78
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: Continues to deserve it. David Peterson has been crucial in

79
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: this rotation. You felt it from the first ending of

80
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: this Peterson start where he got ahead of Marcus Semion, who,

81
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: like we said, has struggled this year relative to his

82
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: recent years where he's been very good. But I had

83
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: a good series against.

84
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: Of course, just like he did last year with the

85
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: Blue Jays. I feel like Simeon just likes to show up.

86
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, good ballplayer. Stats haven't been there, but he Peterson

87
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: got him on a back foot slider right away, like

88
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: like within the first ten pitches of the game, and

89
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: it was like very well placed to where it was

90
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: still like looks like it could have been a strike.

91
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: It was like just below the zone coming in on

92
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: him with the late break, I was like, Okay, now

93
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: he's on, and he was really on. It was ten

94
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: strikeouts Wich, Johnny said, third time in his career.

95
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 3: Right, that is correct. They're at all city fields, really

96
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: love and Queens.

97
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: David p love that ten strikeouts, six innings, pitch, no walks.

98
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: Ten strikeouts and no walks huge. If any pitcher does that, ever,

99
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna You're gonna put your team a good chance

100
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: to win and three earned runs.

101
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: The development of David Peterson this year, especially with that

102
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: slider pitch that he has used, but like we said,

103
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: he showcased a lot more and it's really been one

104
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: of the more dominant pitches on this entire Mets team

105
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: this entire season.

106
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: It set him apart as a pitcher. It's given him

107
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: his brand new idea identity that's something he kind of

108
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: lacked coming up through the system as being the sinker

109
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: change up guy.

110
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: As a Mets fan, I feel like that was one

111
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: of the first times I really felt truly comfortable with

112
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: David Peterson on the mound.

113
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: I mean I jinxed him a little bit. At one

114
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: point during the game.

115
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: I was talking to my dad and sent him a

116
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: text like Dad, Pearson's just straight up good. I mean,

117
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: within seconds after that text got sent home run hit

118
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: absolutely crushed.

119
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: But like the line doesn't it doesn't lie. He was

120
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: phenomenal and the Mets fell victims of the home run

121
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: ball a few times in the series, and Mets also

122
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: had a lot of home runs in the series. We

123
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: can see as this weather is warming, it was very

124
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: humid weekend out here in Queens, that the ball is

125
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: carrying better, and semeon and uh, Nathaniel not Nate, Nathaniel Low.

126
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: Don't call him Nate, don't call him late Nathaniel. That's

127
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: says how his mother wanted his name to be said.

128
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: But besides that, though, like it's he's just very good

129
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: right now. And we've been talking about that Slyther. It

130
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: had seven whiffs in this start. After his last two

131
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: stars that nine whips in each of those. There's twenty

132
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: five whiffs on one pitch in three starts, which is

133
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: a very very high number. You got, like I said,

134
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: the semion one before, he's equally not equally, he was

135
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: getting Righty's left, He's with it consistently. It's just a

136
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: really sick pitch the ten strike guys measured before match

137
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: his career high. Seven of those strikeouts were via the Slyther.

138
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: That with the most of any start in his career,

139
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: and he's, Wow, this guy's a crazy stat John's really

140
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: coming hot with the stats right now. He's recorded forty

141
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: three of his sixty strikeouts this season via the slider.

142
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 2: Seems like it's a good pitch. It's a really good pitch.

143
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: Seems like it might be all right.

144
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: The other interesting thing though about Peterson the Star, is

145
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: that the sinker came back in a very big way

146
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: and also Hiss velocity was upcross the board. People watching

147
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: on TV, he's like touch a ninety six ninety seven regular, which.

148
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: That seems like a huge development too if he's a

149
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: guy who can sit at that ninety seven range, which

150
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: big I mean plans for what we could do with

151
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: Peterson and that probably fits more.

152
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: But I mean, yeah, sinker though he threw a twenty

153
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: eight percent of the time, most he's thrown in the

154
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: start in about two months now, but it did the job.

155
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: There were four balls in play on it, three of

156
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 1: them were on the ground. That is what the sinker

157
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: is supposed to do when things are going as well

158
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: as possible, and he's just been an absolute saving grace

159
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: in this rotation. And then as we're starting to get

160
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: the inklings of some guys potentially coming back with this

161
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: velocity with one reliable breaking pitch, I'm smelling the second

162
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: coming of Andrew Miller. I mean, like he just he.

163
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 2: Seems like a guy who might have been on the

164
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: fringe before who's very much a part of.

165
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: This team for the for the future here because he's been.

166
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: Very, very good, whatever way it's going to be, whether

167
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: it's in the rotation or as a bullpen arm.

168
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: Me saying he could be a fantastic reliever for the

169
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: rest of this season has nothing to do with what

170
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: he might be doing in twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four,

171
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: But I'm saying that the way this team could align

172
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: over the next few months, the need in the bullpen

173
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: for a lefty, the way he only has one off

174
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: speed secondary pitch working well right now, this lines up

175
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: as a fantastic repertoire for reliever and one that's probably

176
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: a little more sustainable to Yeah, definitely, And it was

177
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: nice too, because the vibe of the part was crazy.

178
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: It was packed. If I don't know if it was

179
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: a sellout or not.

180
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what the official numbers were, but it

181
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 2: felt like at minimum ninety five percent full and the

182
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: crowd was going crazy from the start, and it was

183
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 2: good because I feel like the Mets, especially this team,

184
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: really does kind of vibe with the crowd. When the

185
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: crowd's into it, it feels like this team is cooking. They're

186
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: clicking on all cylinders, and we've seen them have some

187
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: crazy comebacks and that's kind of like, I don't want

188
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: to say they had to come back in this game

189
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: because they didn't, but the Mets were able more technically

190
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 2: down one nothing, Yeah, technically it's it's not really come

191
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: back come back. Yeah, I guess technically speaking, it is.

192
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: But it was nice to see that this team did

193
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: rally here in the fourth inning.

194
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that big fourth hitning grab this lead that

195
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: would not be relinquished. I mean, Door had a single,

196
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: McNeil drew a walk, Mark Hanna, Cheerio's clutch RBI single,

197
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: and then the big blow being our boy, Eduardo Esca

198
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: bombs with his first home run of the series.

199
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: Which was great too because watching the game from the

200
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: stands I couldn't necessarily tell, but I was getting texts

201
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 2: and I was looking at the game day feed at

202
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: Ward Escobar was not happy with the strike call before

203
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: he hit that home run. Yeah, and I believe it

204
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: was either on the next picture of the following one

205
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: he hit the home run, which was I think the

206
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: second time in this series, because I think he did

207
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: in Game two as well, a bad call ended up

208
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: turning into and extended at baffer Edward Escobar, to which

209
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: he hit a home run. So maybe just give him

210
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: like one bad call, maybe it gets him a little

211
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: angry and he hits the ball a little further.

212
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: And I also think kind of the opposit of what

213
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: we've been saying for a few weeks. Now we're in

214
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: all three home runs he hit the series as the

215
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: left handed batter, h I think, so I don't I

216
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: don't remember, I wrote, but still too and I look

217
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: back and he had another one actually about two weeks ago.

218
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: So that's too. The three home runs for Escobar as

219
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: a left handed batter in two weeks. Yeah.

220
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 2: No, he's playing better, and especially you know on this

221
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: podcast we've talked about maybe it was time to start

222
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: trying to platoon him. But he was one of the

223
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: biggest bats this series. We wouldn't have won this year's

224
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: without Eduardo Escobombs.

225
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: No, definitely not. And the lineup just in general on

226
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: Friday did a really good job of allowing Glenado to

227
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: kind of get himself into trouble. Although it was a

228
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: guy who's still developing his stuff. He doesn't really have

229
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: like an outpitch. He doesn't have great velocities, kind of

230
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: a guy who just like has the kitchen sink. He

231
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: throws a lot of different pitches, and he likes to

232
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: hang around the edges. But when you hang around the edges,

233
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: that leaves you a lot of opportunities to miss your spots. Yep.

234
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: And there were a lot of three ball counts, a

235
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: lot of deep counts, a lot of men on base consistently,

236
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: and it was just this the way this Mets offense

237
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: has been successful all years, chipping, chipping away, chipping away.

238
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 2: No, it was a really nice, I don't want to

239
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: say easy game, but it was a nice win in

240
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: this game for the Mets.

241
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: Like the team just relatively played pretty well, besides the

242
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: fact that we only scored a run in one inning.

243
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: Yes, like that one inning was the whole thing, but

244
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: it really felt like the Mets were in control pretty

245
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: much the entire night.

246
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's some rumors going around, but the Mets

247
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: looking for a power hitter to add the deadline, and

248
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: you kind of got a sense of how great a

249
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: home run can be for a team.

250
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: Like, we love risk, we like hitting with the runs

251
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 2: the scoring position, but we know that singles at the

252
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: end of they are not winning ball games, and.

253
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 1: Singles are not sustainable. We've seen in these last two

254
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: weeks as the Mets have gotten a little bit colder,

255
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: you see a lot of these big run scoring opportunities

256
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: come up with nothing at the end of an inning

257
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: or maybe even just one. Getting a home run like

258
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: that really takes the pressure off the rest of a lineup.

259
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: And there are guys who can't hit them in this line

260
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: they're just not right now. What was that stat?

261
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: Eighteen of the twenty two runs were scored via the

262
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: long ball this series, which is just it shows you

263
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: how important the home run is. It really can make

264
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: or break a game. Once We'll get the back and

265
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 2: score multiple runs. A single you need to put four

266
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 2: together to score one, basically.

267
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: Definitely, and just the nature of singles are kind of random.

268
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: You'll know where the defense is playing, so you'll know

269
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: how hard you're gonna hit it where you're gonna hit.

270
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: It's chaos to get a single home run, doubt, that's it.

271
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: You have to deal with anything else. So well, baseball

272
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: has been moving that way for a long time now.

273
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: And Chad's got Peterson.

274
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 3: Trivia question, trivia question, quick trivia question. So on Friday Night,

275
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: ten strikeouts, no walks. He is one of seven Mets

276
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: left these to have a start like that, can you guys?

277
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: And they the other six? Johann, That is why there's

278
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: an easy one. Oliver Perez, I had guessed that not one,

279
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: but a great guest to throw out John Nice.

280
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: John Nice not on the list.

281
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: Have Johann so far? Glad No, Wow, Lighter no, Mausman

282
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: Lefty Yes, and he is one of them.

283
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: To look at you, pitching guy over here knowing all

284
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: the pitching names, and.

285
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: A couple of them are tough. I'll give you a clue.

286
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: One of them just went into the Mets Hall of

287
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 3: Fame last year.

288
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: Man, I probably should know. Oh, I can't I remember it?

289
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,599
Speaker 1: Nineteen I just said. He just said no, he was

290
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: sixty nine hero. Oh my go Matt Lack. You no idea?

291
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: Who's a lefty? The other ones? Content? The other ones?

292
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: Glendon Rush rush reference on.

293
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: The Polendon Rush active on social media?

294
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: Say Fernandez else the tricky one?

295
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: Now a player agent? Chris Capuana?

296
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: You know what's inane? I was actually thinking about saying him.

297
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: I thought that was a little too crazy.

298
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 2: Was Chris Capuano against the Astros too? I feel like

299
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 2: we literally just talked about this. I think it was

300
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 2: a day game.

301
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: Okay against the Braves.

302
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: Okay, thirteen strikeout now performance Chris, Chris Capuano.

303
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: Chris trivia there, so yeah, I like it. We should

304
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: do that kind of regularly. I like the trivia. Also,

305
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: just getting back to the game here, I told you

306
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: guys about brock Bark last week. He's good. How annoying

307
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: was he on Friday? Just two winnings. We couldn't touch

308
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: him at all.

309
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: Dude Bengal a good friend of mine YouTuber Madden guy.

310
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: He just hyped up brock Burke before the year. I

311
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: don't know why.

312
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 2: I don't know how he had this information, but he's

313
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 2: been right on the Buddy rock Burk's filthy.

314
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: The guys awesome. And then just I also want to

315
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: give a shout out to our bullpen because Seth Lugo

316
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: had a very clean inning. We basically went seven eight nine,

317
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: no base runners, stress free, stress free, I mean I

318
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: think there was no Actually the one there was a

319
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: base runn out of Vino a other guy on but

320
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: then he got a double play. But Seth lugos on

321
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: move been talking about a lot through ten pitches on

322
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: Friday night, and nine of them were either forcing fastballs

323
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: or curveball. Thank you, thank you. That's all, you know,

324
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: that's all we've been asking fastball, curve ball. And I

325
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: did mention just now out of you know, gave a

326
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: base runner. I don't remember how. But then he got

327
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: a double play and a ball from Marcus Emi and

328
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: that was smoked. Yeah, like one hundred six off the

329
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: bat that turned into two and then edwind dis is nasty.

330
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: Good night, Edwin d has fantastic.

331
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: The Mets moved to two and oh on Fireworks Night

332
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: because it was indeed fireworks night. Yes, great show. I

333
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: stayed for the fireworks. It was packed house for the

334
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: fireworks too, and also fireworks yeah, oh they do. I mean,

335
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: fireworks are fun. It's like a little bit of Danger's

336
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: always a little bit of fun. And then it was

337
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: also DJ Night, which I really enjoyed. I didn't know

338
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: I was going to feel about. I didn't because it

339
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: wasn't like, you know, like ach. I don't think of

340
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 2: V's instance, I don't. I don't know the d do

341
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: that stuff.

342
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: But anyway, he may have may have e g rest

343
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: in peace, changed music forever. True, he wasn't.

344
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 2: He was a legend, but icon I liked DJ Knight.

345
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: They were playing a lot of different music. He got

346
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: some TikTok songs in there, which I'm sure got.

347
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: The kids involved. They probably love it.

348
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: It.

349
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, good vibes. I like it.

350
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: I was worried he wasn't gonna play the trumpets. Tho,

351
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 2: when Edwin came out, I was worried. You have to

352
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 2: play trumpets, and that's got be in the contract with

353
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: DJ Night, of course, of course, and then game two happens,

354
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: and Game two you knew what Trevor Williams on the mound. Basically,

355
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 2: if I had a coin, I'd flip it. That's what

356
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: kind of feels like happens when Trevor Williams on the

357
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 2: mound sometimes he's gonna be good. Sometimes he's gonna be

358
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: like he was in Game two and just kind of

359
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: don't really know coming into the game.

360
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: And a lot of it, I feel like Trevor Williams

361
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: kind of comes down to this home run luck, like

362
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: whether the fly balls stay in or go out, because

363
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: Trevor Williams is a guy who gets a lot of

364
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: fly balls and this time they kind of went out.

365
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: But even before any of this happened, Starring Marte got

366
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: us on the board with a two run home run

367
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: right away in the first. His third first inning home

368
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: run of the season actually became four on Sunday, right, yeah,

369
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: four or four once Monday, So four first ending home

370
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: runs are Starring this year. Is entering a new phase

371
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: of his career. He's a power hitting now allegedly, which

372
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: I love.

373
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: And he's gonna be for the All Star Finalists, which

374
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: you guys can start voting on on Tuesday, July fifth.

375
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 2: So if you are a Mets fan listening to this,

376
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 2: you gotta use your votes. We gotta get Starling in.

377
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: You can't let Adam Duvall. He's a finalist.

378
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: He's a finalist. You can't let him get in. Over

379
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: Starling Marte. You're talking about really good outfielder right now.

380
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: Guy who deserves it, Adam Duvall. So vote Starling Marte.

381
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: If you're gonna do anything, vote Starring Marte, Pete Alonzo

382
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: for the next until the All Star Game happens.

383
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: We got to have some representatives out there is still

384
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: five to day.

385
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what the finalists, it might be different,

386
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: but maximize your votes. Starling Marte deserves it. Where would

387
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: this team be without his presence at the top of

388
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: the order. He's been fantastic.

389
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: He's been awesome, especially after a cold month. He's just

390
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: been blazing hot. This home run sself was a laser

391
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: b o. He smoked it.

392
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: It just no doubt off the bat that ball was gone,

393
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: And obviously it gave us a nice early lead. But

394
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: I gotta say it was a little bit weird. I

395
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: think maybe the forecast had to do a little something

396
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: with it. I think maybe also because it was DJ

397
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 2: and fireworks sit the priory night, a little Mets hangover, Yeah,

398
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: a little Mets hangover felt a little bit quiet. I

399
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: don't want to necessarily say it felt like dead in

400
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: the stadium, but it just felt like it was a

401
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: little more casual right now on Saturday, and it was

402
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: just weird vibes and it kind of played into this

403
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: entire game.

404
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: I feel like it's just really hard to have a

405
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: lot of energy when you're sitting there in eighty percent

406
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: humidity ninety degree heat, Like you can't do anything like that.

407
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: With the impending thunderstorms that were coming with Fourth of

408
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: July weekend, like it was kind of a perfect storm

409
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 2: for a little bit of a letdown, And I feel

410
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: like that's exactly.

411
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: What this game was. Yeah, and then you came to

412
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: Trevor Williams on the other side, gave up some very

413
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: quick Rangers runs after the Mets had a lead. Home

414
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: runs to Calhoun Heim, Like those are names.

415
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: Where like, if you're really in the nitty gritty, those

416
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: guys are having good years.

417
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: They hit the ball very hard.

418
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: But to the average baseball fan, you see col Calhoun

419
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: two home runs, you get pretty angry. Yet to my dad,

420
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: he sees a seven and eight hitter give up absolute

421
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: bombs to them, and he's beside himself.

422
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like the home runs to col Calhoun, one

423
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: of them was a slider, didn't slide that much and

424
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: he just yanked it, crushed it. It was a barrel king too. Yeah.

425
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: The other one was a fastball that was right on

426
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: the black. It's only ninety miles an hour, but it

427
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: was right on the black, and Calhoun just like got

428
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: the bad head out there. It kind of served it

429
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: over the wall, which is a crazy sentence. The wind

430
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: was kind of blown out to left field. I feel

431
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: like the first two games of.

432
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: The Syeries, so I could see it carried and Cole Calhoun,

433
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 2: Trevor Williams both former Sun Douviles, really alumnus.

434
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: Not the same time, but yes I did. I was

435
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: not aware.

436
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: I'd have a slight grasp of what players, what colleges

437
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: they went to, and none whatsoever.

438
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: Would not have guessed that though. And then Martine Perez

439
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: so annoying, so annoying.

440
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: God.

441
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: I think we were talking about it the last time.

442
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was actually on the podcast

443
00:15:58,680 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: or not, but I think the last time the Mets

444
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: played the Rangers.

445
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, John mentioned the last episode.

446
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Martin Perez pitched a gem and he didn't really

447
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: pitch a gym because he still give up those two

448
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: home runs early, but he ended up having a great

449
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: start we could hit the ball in the air.

450
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: It was just ground ball, ground ball, ground ball.

451
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: But crazily, Martin Perez came into the Star only having

452
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: allowed two home runs on the year ninety three innings,

453
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 2: and then Mets had two and fifteen batters. Wow, I

454
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: is he a ground ball guy? Like, I don't really

455
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: know his profile. He is just a soft contact guy.

456
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: And I guess this Star was groundball.

457
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: I think he's a better than usual ground ball guy,

458
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: but he's not ground balls enough to where I think

459
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: it's like statistically stable. But in this game, meant had

460
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: twenty two balls in play, fifteen of them were on

461
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: the ground and two were pop up. It just felt

462
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: like every other two were home runs. So that right there,

463
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: seventeen nineteen, so there were only three balls in play

464
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: that were like perceived as dangerous besides the homers.

465
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: Well felt all game everybody was getting jammed. Everybody wasn't

466
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: as does that contact? Yeah, like you said, then the sinker.

467
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: I don't know what other pitch he had, but he

468
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: was I guess pitching.

469
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: Well John had something for us.

470
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 3: Yes, it's about the Martin Perez ground ball rate last

471
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: year forty three bit over that percent ground ball right

472
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: this year fifty one, okay, and he's caught down on

473
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: the line drives twenty seven percent last year, twenty percent

474
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 3: this year.

475
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: So line drive rate is kind of booth though, because

476
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: if you're watching a game and you like are hanging out,

477
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: like try to distinguished the line drives between line drives,

478
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: like the ground balls have become the line drives are

479
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: going to the ground quickly. Line drive rate, I've never

480
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: you're not even a fan.

481
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 2: I think I think there's like some uh, I think

482
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 2: there's prudence to it, just because like you could tell

483
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 2: the average person line drive and you can picture in

484
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 2: your head. Yeah, so you're like, it's still good kind

485
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: It's still little bit subjective.

486
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: It's subjective. It's very subjective. Yea. But the groundball raping

487
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: over fifty percent, that is meaningful. That that's become a

488
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: meaning you.

489
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,239
Speaker 2: Know who didn't matter to Edward Wescbarar hit another home

490
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: run the dude He's hot in the month of July.

491
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert.

492
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: He hit won in Game three two, tied for the

493
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: lead league in Major League Baseball for home runs in

494
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 2: the month of July.

495
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: Fun fact, that was a good meme from the messed

496
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: up podcast. Also, just like Eduardo west Cobar now after

497
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: this weekend, hilariously is going to have an OPS plus

498
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: WRC plus like right around one hundred again right where

499
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: he hangs out. He's just gonna hang out between like

500
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: five percent words than garbage and five percent beat on

501
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: the gaverage forever and definitely, and that's kind of what

502
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: he does. He feels like a guy who went he's hot.

503
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: He's he's really hot. He's hard to get out and

504
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: when he's cold, nothing, he doesn't really do much. He

505
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: almost say second one Sunday too, put a rune into one.

506
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 2: Later he hit one hard on the other side of

507
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: the coin. Though Luis Giorme, our guy, called the guests

508
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: spinning ice cold. He probably needs a day off colder

509
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: in may Bee, playing a little bit too much. Again,

510
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 2: we're not we're not making the decisions here obviously, but

511
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: he seems like right now he might just be maybe

512
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 2: a little tired.

513
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, he could be. It's also he's just

514
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: been paying the ball straight into the ground for it

515
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: feels like two or three weeks now. And if you

516
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: go check out his rolling graphs, which is I think

517
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: a great way to evaluate hit it's anyone out there

518
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: plays fantasy, going going fangrass. Checkout rolling graphs. You just

519
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: see that Giorme's expected weighted on bass average, which it

520
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: is a stat that takes every single ball you've put

521
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: into play and kind of gives them gives them an

522
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: objective score rather than the result of actually happened. So

523
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: the likelihood of it's like the likelihood of a good

524
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: result happening from his ball and play, regardless of if

525
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: it was called or not, based on eggs of velocity,

526
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: launch angle, this and that. Giorme has just been sinking

527
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: like a stone since about June tenth, so almost a

528
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: full month now. He's just having trouble lifting the ball.

529
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: He's never really spit someone who hit it that hard,

530
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Also, now we're in a situation where defenses

531
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: have more book on him, they have a little more films,

532
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: so they know have positioned themselves better for him doing

533
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: all his his funky stuff. But that's kind of that's

534
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: kind of that's the lay of the land here.

535
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean really like at the end of

536
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: the day, so playing great defense, he's still getting on base.

537
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 2: The glove is just this phenomenal and really at the

538
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: end of the day, like this game was just the

539
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 2: Mets kind of lost to the Rangers seven eight nine

540
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: hitters because Calhoun hit two home runs, Jonaheim hit a

541
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: home run, Leote Taveres hit a home run, which I

542
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 2: didn't think that's a sentence I would be saying. And

543
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: those were the seven eight nine hitters, and Taveraries actually

544
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 2: came in for defensive replacement or whatever lay in the game.

545
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: So also the other side of that, coins like the

546
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: Mets had plenty of opportunities, especially early on this game

547
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: to score like our team pez wasn't like there was

548
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: no reason that they couldn't have gotten it together. Francisco

549
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: Lindor got on base four times in this game. I

550
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: think Marte and Nimo also got on base a few

551
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: times each.

552
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: The top three in the order got on seven times,

553
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: and the Mets were only able to score what three runs,

554
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 2: Like that's that's something we're not used to, something they're

555
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 2: not accustomed to with this New York Mets team. But

556
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: this is something that has been a little bit of

557
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 2: a pattern. It feels like for the past week issue

558
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 2: or so that the Mets are not capitalizing with throwers

559
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 2: at scoring position, which also comes back to what we

560
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: said about like the singles approach sometimes bite you in

561
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: the butt.

562
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of the function also at the same time,

563
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: right now, Lindor and Pete are not really hitting for power.

564
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: It's just it's just a little bit of a slump.

565
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: Lindor's getting on base, he'still putting the ball in play

566
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: and hitting it hard, just not getting good results. In Pete,

567
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: I feel like it's been over a week since he

568
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: had the home run. Pete's Pete's a little cold. Yeah,

569
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: it's it's expected. He's also pretty phenomenal year. It seems

570
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: like there McNeil still a little bit tender. He's he

571
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: de aged and then he uh he deched on Friday

572
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: that he did not play on Saturday. So the Lion

573
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: also misses a little bit without McNeil, especially when you're

574
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: gett all these guys on base and no one's there

575
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: driving him in. What are you gonna do?

576
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 2: I want to talk about to one of mass and

577
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 2: NIO's throw though, Yeah, oh my god, a second runner

578
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 2: thrown out from his knees, which is just if you

579
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: guys have never caught it's it's pretty hard to throw

580
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: the ball from your knees. It's pretty hard to throw

581
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 2: out a base runner from your knees.

582
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: While the bat may not be really doing much for

583
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: us right now, defensively, again, he continues to be phenomenal

584
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: behind the plate. Waynderandazzo said that after the first knee

585
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: throw last week, he asked him if that's something he

586
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: works on, something he looks to do, something he plans for,

587
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: and Tomas was just like, Nope, if I feel like

588
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: I have to, I'm just gonna do it. Yeah, He's

589
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: just like an instinct catch his instincts.

590
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: He's been great behind the plate. I think the pitchers

591
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 2: love throwing to him too. And then just kind of

592
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 2: put a tie on this game. A little foreshadowing here.

593
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 2: Dom Smith got a pinchhit opportunity in the ninth and

594
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: he hit a double off the wall, which I think

595
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 2: would have been a home run in seventeen of thirty

596
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 2: Major League ballparks coming up on a day. We won't

597
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 2: mention what it is just yet, but you guys have

598
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 2: probably heard enough about it.

599
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: It was good.

600
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: Dom swung the bat really hard, which I feel like

601
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: I haven't seen him do all year, and it seemed

602
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 2: like in game three, he swung the bad hard again,

603
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: which is again a little foreshadowing the bad Hard.

604
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: Don't get hard. Don't let Dom Smith get hot. That's

605
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. All right.

606
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: Then we got the rubber match Game three, which it

607
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 2: feels like we have these every series. The third game

608
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: Sundays in particular, feels like a make or break all

609
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 2: off for these Mets, and luckily for the Mets again spoilerler,

610
00:21:59,359 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 2: we got to win.

611
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: Keep making twenty three and seven following a loss this

612
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: year the team just loves to fight. And who else

613
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: but Starling Marte they get a started again with another

614
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: first inning home run. Like I said before, fourth of the.

615
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: Year, get out and vote, vote, vote, vote. Starling Bosky

616
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: deserves to be an all starn't. I don't know what

617
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 2: we can do to incentivize you guys to vote more.

618
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: I'm using all my votes every single day. You guys

619
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 2: should be too. Starling Marte and Pete a Lonzo.

620
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: So easy takes two seconds, six two seconds, both deserve

621
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: You can literally do it on your phone. Yeah yeah, literally,

622
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: and Soly Martes. And that's more crazy. John stats here

623
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: he's hit safely in eighteen straight games against the Rangers.

624
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: That dates back to last year as an Oakland athletic.

625
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. That's like such, that's a stat that doesn't matter,

626
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: but he's a cool one. Yeah, exactly, that's a great

627
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: John stat. And then Marte is hitting three sixty two

628
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: with three ninety three on base percentage and six thirty

629
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: eight slugging percentage in the first inning of games this year,

630
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: also just ridiculous, shocking, insane, and nine total home runs

631
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: already after only hitting twelve all of last year, with

632
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: a slight uptick in both his poll rate and his

633
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: flyball rate.

634
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, which I think makes a little bit of a

635
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 2: difference for a guy who relatively hits the ball hard

636
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: at its hardest but not consistently.

637
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: If that Marte is one of those weird guys, he's

638
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: like an ex velosity unicorn where he's always near like

639
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: the top ten percent of hitters in max ex velocity

640
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: but always in like the bottom thirty percent and average

641
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: eggs velocity, both on all balls and play and also

642
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: on fly balls in line drives. Yeah. No, So it's

643
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: weird that he's having this power resurgence. But I've said

644
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: this before, like him being a twenty home run guy

645
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: changes the way that contract looks dramatically for sure.

646
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 2: And in the two hole, when Nimo gets on base

647
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 2: like he does and this team does, that really helps

648
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 2: kickstart this offense, which we saw him do multiple times

649
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 2: this series.

650
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely, But the story from Sunday is definitely Carlos Carrasco,

651
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: who was coming off two pretty bad starts in a row,

652
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: both of them coming against Houston Astros though, so it's

653
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: weird that you have two straight starts against one team

654
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: also happens to be one of the best teams. He

655
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: get crushed in both. So people were a little bit

656
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: dicey on Carrasco. I was in a couple fantasy leagues

657
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: where saw grass cras get dealt this week. But yeah,

658
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: you gotta pick him up if you got someone in

659
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: icy league. Man, this is gonna be a real niche

660
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: dicey deep track. It traded Carlos Carrasco for Caleb Killion.

661
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: That's the quadruple guy in the Cup. Oh that's al

662
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: not to do it. That person should have to forfeit

663
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: their team. I mean it's just that's just like Grasco

664
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: still guys decent, and you come after this game and

665
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: you still see that he is a veteran savvy pitcher

666
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: with a lot of tools as toolbag five and two

667
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: thirds innings pitch really try to get him through that

668
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: sixth stending Crog game in nice Ovation when he got pulled.

669
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: Six hits allowed that were mostly scathered, one walk, one

670
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: urn run on who else but the Joonaheim solo home

671
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: run that was smoked really got around on one. Jonaheim

672
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: really loves to make me look stupid. Yeah, I also

673
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: switch in and catcher. You never see that unicorn. Yeah,

674
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: the unicorn and the big number eight strackaus from Carrasco

675
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: with twenty whiffs season high and whispers of Carrasco and

676
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: the first time he hit that twenty with wif line

677
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: as a Mets. Last time he did it was September

678
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, still with the then Cleveland Indians.

679
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: He's just like, he's such a good veteran arm that

680
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 2: we can look to every five days. And really outside

681
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: of the Houston starts, the numbers have been really good

682
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 2: this year for Carlos Carrasca's.

683
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: Fantastic, as good as you could expect. Three point seventy

684
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: nine era, which is basically where most of the like

685
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: the projection even the most optimistic projection systems had him

686
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: before the year between like three seven five and like

687
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: four two, five, nine and two record not the Wins podcast,

688
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: But that's that's pretty cool still. Yeah. Three point zero

689
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: six FIP, which FIE fielding independent pitching Where howatch we

690
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: explained FIP. It's like you are.

691
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 3: Exactly your only counting control stright.

692
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: Now yeah yeah, now, yes, yes, And a twenty four

693
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: point five percent strike guy rate, which is a hair

694
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: above league average against everybody not named the Astros. This

695
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: year for Carrasco a huge, huge.

696
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 2: Bounce back starts, huge, huge I really love seeing that,

697
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 2: and especially when some people are getting a little bit nervous,

698
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 2: I feel like this should calm your your concerns absolutely.

699
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: And the big thing with Carrasco's limited damage in this

700
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: game was that both of his secondaries were working very well.

701
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: The change up was on another level. It is probably

702
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: the best change up has looked this year. He dropped

703
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: on the first sitting and I was like, oh, that's

704
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: a nice change. You're like that, that's a pitch we

705
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: we don't see you often. Yeah, so a lot today.

706
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,479
Speaker 1: Thirty two percent usage rate eleven wists on twenty swings

707
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: doing everything and how to do. And that's also was

708
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 1: I think kind of a counter move to a Rangers

709
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 1: team that is very, very aggressive and has been all year.

710
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: Ranger is one of the highest or the highest team

711
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: in swinging at the first pitch this year. At the

712
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: rate they swing the first pitch, Yeah, one of the

713
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: interesting one of the most aggressive teams in baseball dropped

714
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: some change ups on them.

715
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 2: That's funny you mentioned that too, because I feel like

716
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: I noticed that Nimo this series in particular, was swinging

717
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 2: at a lot of first pitches, and I think John

718
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 2: what was the percentage of that.

719
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: It was a little over a third of his player

720
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 3: appearances he swung first pitch.

721
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: And to your point about Texas, they put the first.

722
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: Pitch and play nineteen times during the series, So you

723
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 3: were correct, highest.

724
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 2: First pitch baseball.

725
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. But savvy veteran plus Jeremy Heffner, throw a

726
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: bunch of change ups these guys that are probably gonna

727
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: swing out of the shoes out, especially because Carasco throws

728
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: a bit of a bit of a hitable fastball in

729
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: terms of lasity and shape. Sure, he is by no

730
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: means ninety nine. No, it's also it's not really like

731
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: a great riser. It's not like the sneaky like Joe

732
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: Ryan fastball. It's like ninety four but comes on here

733
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: really quickly. Yeah, and to be fair, the Mets also

734
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: went up against John not so great. Shout out to

735
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: John for that, for that pun. That was a good one.

736
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 2: Can we get a But yeah, John Gray is just

737
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: a guy that we would have liked the Mets I think,

738
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 2: to pursue in the offseason. But it was because there

739
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: was something always there and it just feels like he

740
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 2: maybe still hasn't found it.

741
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: No, I mean, first round pick still is sitting ninety

742
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: six ninety seven as a guy on the other side

743
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: of the thirty. But they really just got that sweeper

744
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: moving for him over there in Texas. Someone we missed

745
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: this year is Dane Dunning also developed one this year.

746
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: It seems like a motive of the Rangers new revamped

747
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: analytics and development department trying to push this pitch, and

748
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: that pitch was gross. Marte did hit the home run

749
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: on in the first which is kind of funny cause

750
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: I was talking about that pitch and talking about with you,

751
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: and right off the bad Marte went down and got

752
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: one and sent it out, crushed it. But the rest

753
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: of his game ten went was on nineteen swings on

754
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: that pitch. Yeah, I mean it was. It's definitely it's

755
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: definitely an out pitch, Like it's really good. It's just

756
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: his fastball is weird. It doesn't move the way it

757
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: fasketball looks like it would move. So the chorus broke

758
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: him and like he.

759
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: Did, kind of keep the metal under control after that

760
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 2: home run, and the Mets didn't really get a scoring

761
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: opportunity to get until the fourth inning, which was like

762
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 2: the weirdest way tot score ever, with Pete Alonso getting

763
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 2: a strikeout double and yes you're hearing that correctly, Pee

764
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: Alonzo struck out and ended up on second base.

765
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: Just a kind of wild what's the sequence of plays

766
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: that haden? Joonahim defense of masterclass, Yeah, exactly.

767
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 2: He helped me out with that, at least that Jodahim

768
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 2: messed that one up. And then Jeff McNeil back in

769
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 2: the lineup, looking a little bit better, looking, a little

770
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 2: bit healthier. The classic Jeff McNeil double, which you gotta love,

771
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 2: drives Pete in McNeil.

772
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: He's just like such a good hitter.

773
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: I know we say it every episode, but for a

774
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: guy who I feel like he's he didn't get the

775
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 2: love that he should as an All Star.

776
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: He's not even a finalist. No, especially statistically in the

777
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: second base in the National League with Azzie Albie's and

778
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: Jazz both dealing with injuries right now, Like, I don't

779
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: know who else should be there.

780
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 2: Abs hasn't played a month, and he wasn't really playing

781
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: that well when he was playing.

782
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: No, he's an average second bason. Really, he's good. He's good.

783
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: He's a good bad But McNeil up with three eighty

784
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: seven batting average runners in scoring position, fifth in all

785
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: of baseball.

786
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 2: That double was also the hundredth of Jeff's career. I'm

787
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: the doubles man rule triple baby.

788
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: And there's a funny one that we got from h

789
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: we got internally here from John McNeil showed up to

790
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: the game to suit today, which is hoping to bust

791
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: himself out of what was like a four game slump.

792
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: That's a baseball guy, Yeah, that's a baseball guy. This

793
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: was so now a slump like a week.

794
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, But for Jeff McNeil not gonna get in like

795
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 2: two games. And we did see some angry McNeil over

796
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: the weekend a little bit again, a little bit. Yeah,

797
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: Friday night he was he was pressing a little bit,

798
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 2: you know what, I do, love the intensity, just gotta

799
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 2: control it.

800
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: He also, just a break from this fourth inning rally,

801
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: made a nice play going into the wall. I believe

802
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: the middle innings I'll remember exactly what. Yeah, I mean, he.

803
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: Plays such a great outfield and also plays such a

804
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 2: great second base. It's crazy to have that versatility for

805
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: a guy who's also.

806
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: A really good hitter. Yeah. Then this rally again came

807
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: together in the form of an.

808
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: Eduardo Escobar Esco bomb at yard though, as Joe Seppi

809
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: on Twitter said, which that's that's an even better pun

810
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 2: than Esco bomb.

811
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think at Yardo might be my

812
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: new favorite.

813
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 2: As much as we coined the term Eduardo Esco bombs

814
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: at Yardo is just I think straight up here and also.

815
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: Makes sense because he doesn't really hit that many bombs.

816
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: It would be hard to call him Esco bombs. Ye,

817
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: like just to say when he hits a home run

818
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: at Yardo. Yeah, this is what his third home run

819
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: of the series, three games in a row. He's he's

820
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: been phenomenal. John just bolded another pun on our sheet,

821
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: Escobar barbecue, because he's cooking.

822
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 4: That's all terribly terrible. We're cutting the thrown so Esco barbecue.

823
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 4: At least win that bad off.

824
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, but third time in Escobar's career he has hit

825
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: a home run three consecutive games. And these three home

826
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: runs this series traveled I combined twelve hundred thirty two feet.

827
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: When you're hot, you're hot. With distance on him too. Yeah,

828
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: what you gotta do.

829
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 2: Dom Smith told you don't let Tom Smith get hot.

830
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: I said it was a little foreshadowing. Two for four,

831
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 2: two for four after a late doubling game too.

832
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: Hlariously to the hits he got were not hard hit

833
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: balls at all.

834
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: No, they were not particularly hit hard. But he did

835
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 2: have two hard hit balls today.

836
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: It's just the other way. The two balls that you

837
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: got hits for now hard hitting.

838
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: The two outs were, I believe, so, which is kind

839
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 2: of hilarious that the two balls that he ended up

840
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 2: getting hits on weren't necessarily the balls that were smoked

841
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: by any means.

842
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: I mean, also, if you're gonna get hot. Any time

843
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: you need to get off his home runch nine, there's

844
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: no better place to do it than Cincinnati, which was

845
00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: the last time he hit a home run.

846
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 2: Left every long runs in Cincinnati, crazy game, a little

847
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 2: wall scraper. So maybe don't let them get hot. Get

848
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: him to Cincinnati short porch and right field.

849
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: Anything can happen. I'm telling you absolutely, and go through

850
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: some bullpen from this game. Mentioned before about Carrasco being

851
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: nursery that sixth inning. That was the third time around

852
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: the Texas lineup before the inning, I was like, I

853
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: really don't want to send them out for that. He

854
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,239
Speaker 1: got into a little bit of trouble. Not a ton.

855
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: Joey came in the and got the big round out

856
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: of col Calhoun. Joey tried to come out fit to

857
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: the second inning. Did the actually did you get there?

858
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: This one? Got the second this one. Yes, we had

859
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: trouble Dad on Saturday, but decent for Joelle on a

860
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: back to back day, two back to back innings. Vino

861
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: was very good again. I love his walkout.

862
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 2: I don't it's like it's a Kid Cuddy song. I

863
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: don't remember exactly what song is a little bit of

864
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: a deeper miss rage. No. No, it's like from his

865
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,239
Speaker 2: almost like rock album days where he got a rock

866
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: album's bizarre. He got a little weird speeding ball to

867
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: Heaven yeah album. But this, his walkout is incredible. I

868
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 2: love it, and I also love watching Adam out of

869
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 2: you know, pitch. The dude has just simply been one

870
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: of the better relievers in this entire Bullpen.

871
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: You got the song Alive off the Man in the Moon. Yes,

872
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: that's right. Album, that's a good one. Came out when

873
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: you're like in middle school. That was like rap music. Yeah,

874
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: music is cool. And then just Tyler Bow in this game,

875
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz nasty as hell. He hilariously got into the

876
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: most trouble I feel like he's gotten into in weeks

877
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,719
Speaker 1: with the lead off walk after only walking one guy

878
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: the entire month of June. He walked his first batther

879
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: in July, and then Jonaheim got a hit to right. Yeah, Jonaheim,

880
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: go back to Texas or go back to Buffalo wherever.

881
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't care. Just just get get away from the Mets.

882
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to see Jonahim anymore. He had a

883
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: great series. Also, want to shout out Edwin for winning

884
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: Reliever of the month. He had a great June one walk,

885
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: twenty one strike ass.

886
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 2: He faced thirty seven bats, he struck out fifty six

887
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 2: percent of the Like, that's like not even video game numbers,

888
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 2: because I was better.

889
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: I don't think you can get a fifty six per

890
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: MLB the shop.

891
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 2: That was like the when James Karen Shack blew up

892
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: because he was using SICKI stuff in the minor leagues

893
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 2: and he was rocking like fifty percent k rate and.

894
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: Double It was blatantly cheating.

895
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's all right, it's I got the results.

896
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 2: But that's what edwind Dia is doing in the major

897
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: leagues to professional hitters. And you mentioned the one walk

898
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: just for fun numbers two percent walk right, Yeah, great,

899
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 2: that's fun. That's fun to throw it out there. But hey,

900
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 2: Mets came on as walk grad fIF fifty four percent.

901
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 2: That's absolutely, absolutely insane. The Mets really though, at the

902
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: end of the day series win, Yes, that's what we

903
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: look for to do. It was the quality of baseball

904
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 2: as great as we hoped it was. No, we know

905
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 2: that the Mets team can play better, we know that

906
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: they will play better, but it is at least kind

907
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: of comforting to know that the Mets, even when they're

908
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: not clicking, still win games.

909
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again, like you're just you're a better team

910
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: than this team. You have mostly better players, and you

911
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: can just go out there and win, win a series.

912
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: And it wasn't like I guess the Jodaheim thing from

913
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: Sunday was a little bit fluky, but the overall you

914
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: just feel like you beat them.

915
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely like the thing. The Mets were the better

916
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 2: team and they beat the worst team. That's exactly how

917
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 2: you draw it up.

918
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: And we've been talking about the Mets lack of power

919
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: the series mentioned it before, eighteen to twenty two runs

920
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: in the series coming by the home run. That's combined

921
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: twenty two runs from both games the entire series, eighteen

922
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: of them from the home run. So also cool that

923
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: the Mets could get into one of these home run

924
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: things and actually come out on top.

925
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: The reason chicks to the long ball. That's the king

926
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: of baseball right there. Hint home runs, most sustainable ways,

927
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 2: quarn chicks out checks No that, Yeah, of course they're

928
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 2: deep into the stats. Great great stuff for the Mets world.

929
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 2: There's also a lot of other really cool things going

930
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 2: on in the Mets world too. Let's talk about Jacob

931
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 2: de Gram, who, in about what twenty twenty five thirty minutes,

932
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: will be making his first rehab start of the season

933
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 2: out in Saint Lucy. Everybody do whatever, put a spoon

934
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 2: under your pillow, anything, Yeah, whatever it is, whatever superstision

935
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 2: you have. If you have to touch the door knob,

936
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: turn the both water faucets on at the same time

937
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 2: out the day.

938
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: I don't know every light. I don't off three times

939
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: like Charlie Kelly's mom.

940
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 2: Good vibes only this is huge. We need Jacob deGrom

941
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 2: back because just imagine how much better.

942
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: This team is with them.

943
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: It is also so awful because he's gonna make the

944
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 2: start and whatever happens good, they're bad.

945
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: Like we're gonna just sound like idiots, I know, because

946
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: this will be all, you know, old news. At this point.

947
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: We shill almost record two different segments, Jacob de Gram

948
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: clean rehab and Jacob de Groam battery. I don't want

949
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: to record a batter rehab. That's bad. Juju also kind

950
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: of funny that he's making this start at Saint Lucie

951
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,959
Speaker 1: and they just missed the palm Beach Cardinals. Yes, which,

952
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: if you guys don't know, he made his rehab start

953
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: last year against the Palm Beach Cardinals. I don't like

954
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: how he said, I'm thinking too much about my wording now,

955
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: but he made his rehab start against him last year,

956
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: and they were like, these are like nineteen twenty year

957
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: old guys facing the best picture on the planet. This

958
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: is not fair. No, not fair at all. But also

959
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: you know that social media manager of that team was

960
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: praying they got to gram gain. Of course that was

961
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: it's a million engagements. Yeah, I mean like that retweets,

962
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: fifty thousand, whatever it's going to be. It's a huge

963
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: day for the Palm Beach Cardinals. Also, here's something funny.

964
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: Do you think there's a lot of pressure now on

965
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: Jacob de Gram to almost one up with Max Scherzer

966
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: did for the Rumble Ponies last week? Absolutely not. Absolutely not.

967
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying performance wise, I'm saying like in terms

968
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: of being nice. Ooh, I didn't think. Yeah, it is

969
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: true because if you guys out there don't know the

970
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: story that went around Twitter and Instagram over the weekend

971
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: in Max Schurzer's most recent rehab start for the Binghamton Mets,

972
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: Binghamton Rumble Ponies, not the Binghamton Mets. I can't. I

973
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 1: can't threw that one up. He spent an alleged seven

974
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 1: thousand dollars on dinner for the team, steak for the

975
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: minor leaguers, and Santa Claus style got every single guy AirPods,

976
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: which is hilarious locker.

977
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: It's also like kind of funny and sad at the

978
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 2: same time to think that minor league baseball.

979
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: Players don't have AirPods. No, I mean probably not. Yeah,

980
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: which is great, it's crazy. It's takes take like eleven

981
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year.

982
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, put shout out to Shuzer, Shout to Scherzer. He's

983
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 2: a PA representative, supporting the boys down down the miners.

984
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Sures there got a lot of really unnecessary

985
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 1: flak when during the during negotiations because he had a Porsche. Yeah,

986
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: but like he also has earned hundreds of millions of

987
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: dollars in his career. It's a few also nice at

988
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: the Nationals Patchers. There's some money on Deferment Day July

989
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: July first, otherwise known as bay Bonia Day.

990
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 2: But we don't think that we all need to talk

991
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 2: about the day. And also Schurzer. We're recording this on

992
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 2: Sunday Tuesday. We'll be making his first start back after

993
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 2: his little stint on the il out in Cincinnati.

994
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: Put your spoon under your pillow.

995
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 2: Everything that applies to crumb to the exact same thing

996
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 2: for Max Schurzer, because we know how sick he is

997
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 2: when he's on the mountain when he's healthy. And to

998
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 2: be fair, he said he needed that extra rehab start

999
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 2: because he wanted to know how to prepare and get

1000
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: his body ready with the injury that he did have

1001
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 2: to continue to pitch this season because he doesn't want

1002
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 2: up backs. He wants to be on the field. I

1003
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 2: can't wait to see him pitch twos.

1004
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: There they lights him in sense. Just hang out, be

1005
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: serene and like just natural, just be calm for these

1006
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:11,439
Speaker 1: shares are starting all.

1007
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 2: Things considering the me's what twenty four and sixteen without Ureser,

1008
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 2: Like that's as pretty impressive. Missing one of the five

1009
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 2: best pitchers in baseball along with missing Jacob de gram.

1010
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: Over a one hundred and sixty two game pace. That's

1011
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: like that's like a quick math. Here you go, Come on,

1012
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: all right, we're eight games over five hundred there times

1013
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: four thirty two. That's like thirty two games over five

1014
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: hundred for the season. That's pretty good. Yes, ninety seven

1015
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: one pace without Max Shares are not bad against really

1016
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: good teams, hardest month of the season, strength of schedule wise,

1017
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: it's told mess have no pitching. So no that Mets

1018
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 1: have no pitching, Mets up no talent, as can't be teams.

1019
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: But they went. They went a ninety seven win pace

1020
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: against some of the best teams of baseball without Max

1021
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: Shares or Jacob de Grom.

1022
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 2: Okay, pretty good, pretty bad. And then to talk about

1023
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit different because the gram Ma Sures

1024
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 2: are a little bit of elder statesman, I would say,

1025
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 2: on this roster, how about a young and Francisco Alvarez

1026
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 2: getting some news?

1027
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: Now, well, we have the source Mark Luino said last

1028
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: week could be a star.

1029
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 2: Yes, I said this guy. I didn't say he could

1030
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 2: be a start. I said he is a star. I

1031
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 2: put my stamp on it. I'm ready to die on

1032
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 2: the hill of Francisco Alvarez being great and got to

1033
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 2: call up the triple A soon after my quote card

1034
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 2: went out on the Mets Twitter.

1035
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: I mean you work for the Mets. I guess they

1036
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: hear these things.

1037
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 4: Now, what was it?

1038
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 2: Max Schurzer was giving rave reviews of Francisco Alvarez and

1039
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 2: apparently you know people in.

1040
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: The team, but we're technically with the team now, you know,

1041
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: with the team, give him some reviews. But also like

1042
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people in baseball who would tell

1043
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: you someone who we know and trust very much, someone

1044
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: mad Eddie, we hope to come on the podcast soon

1045
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: talk about the Met's new top thirty coming out of

1046
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: Baseball America soon. He said that he thinks and there's

1047
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: other people who do believe that Francisco Aliveras has the

1048
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: best bat in the minor leagues? Is bet sick? Like

1049
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 1: in terms of player like you get the Corbyn Carroll,

1050
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: some people will probably tell you Jordan Walker. But in

1051
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 1: terms of just someone hits the ball really hard, I

1052
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: don't think anyone does it better than Francisco Alvarez.

1053
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 2: I saw stat about our miners guys with Alvez and

1054
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 2: Vientto who are going to now be in the lineup

1055
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 2: for the first time ever together, which is interesting.

1056
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 1: For guys from the top prospects. Also not that different

1057
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: in age to Viento's like twenty two, twenty three, just

1058
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: slightly older.

1059
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 2: Remember Alverez is twenty, so like he's really only been

1060
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: playing the miners for a couple of years up. But

1061
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 2: those two guys have the most home runs of any

1062
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 2: minor leaguers combined in the last since the beginning of

1063
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 2: last season, I believe. So that's that's like a fun

1064
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 2: kind of random stat that's incredible, the two most combined

1065
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: home runs of teammates in an organization.

1066
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: I love that.

1067
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll both be doing that here soon. Hopefully they

1068
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 2: keep swinging the bat like that. Those guys are gonna

1069
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 2: skyrockets in the majors no time. And we've been getting

1070
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 2: a lot of trade questions.

1071
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: Soon. I think probably next week will do a big

1072
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: trade talk. Yeah, at least after the Marlins series. Maybe

1073
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: Marlin's four games series will be longer, maybe just right

1074
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: after the Reds like the weekday series trade talks.

1075
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 2: If you guys are following us on Twitter at met stuff,

1076
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 2: make sure you start tweeting us maybe your trade ideas,

1077
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: trade players that you want to hear us talk about,

1078
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 2: because we'll be happy to answer those questions.

1079
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 1: I've told everybody I was not responding to any trade

1080
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,239

00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 2: Then, and start talking about the Cincinnati Reds preview because

1087
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 2: of course we have a very patriotic series coming up

1088
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: against Cincinnati Reds out in Cincy. What are the pitching matchups?

1089
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 2: Streams pitching matchups of the series? Game one on Monday,

1090
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 2: fourth of July. Bizarre six forty game on the fourth

1091
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 2: of July.

1092
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: Eh, I know six for I know. I'd love a

1093
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: day game the Cincinnati Central time. Nope, okay, that's Ohio.

1094
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: Ohio doesn't get Central time. No such Chicago. That's baffling

1095
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: to You're not geography, guy, I don't go to the Midwest,

1096
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time there. Taiwan Walker versus Hunter Green.

1097
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 1: Hunter Green is unbelievable for Mets fans that don't know

1098
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: he throws least sits like one hundred and one, which

1099
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: is like a crazy sentence to say out out for

1100
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: a starting pitcher. And but as crazy as that is,

1101
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure the broadcast will talk about this ad nauseum.

1102
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: But Hunter Green's fastball actually gets crushed. It's one of

1103
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: the least productive pitches in baseball in terms of both

1104
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: run value and x wOBA. So it's a pitch that

1105
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: gets hit, the real out pitch for Hunter. Is it Slyther?

1106
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: That pitch is disgusting? No, the slider's really frisbee. Yeah,

1107
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: and when the more he throws that pitch, the better

1108
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: of his results are. So hopefully we're not having a

1109
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: big slider game and I can.

1110
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 2: Face some in cisztens or not citizens Bank in Great

1111
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 2: American Ball pup. I always also get those too confused.

1112
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, well there's it's a lot of banking going on,

1113
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: a lot of banking going on there. But Tuesday, we

1114
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: mentioned before the return of Max Scherzer to the New

1115
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: York Mets rotation. I can't, I just can't even put

1116
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: to words how happy that makes me. Really excited. Yeah,

1117
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: facing off against Nick Lodola, who's also making a long

1118
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: way to return from a back issue that sparked up

1119
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: for him in April. For those who know Lodolo, he's

1120
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: also a rookie. Much like Green, they've kind of ascended

1121
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: in the Red System together as two of their Prize

1122
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: Jewels pitching prospects. Lodolo has he's like a big lanky dude. Lefty. Yeah,

1123
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: Lefty comes at you hard with a sinker. I think

1124
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: he also changed up Slyer correct, don't get me wrong there,

1125
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: funky weird stuff. Two young pitchers with a lot of

1126
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: a lot of flashy pitches. And then Wednesday, the mess

1127
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: actually don't have a star of their names right now

1128
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: in the schedule. I think they're probably saving that for

1129
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 1: Bassett if he's cleared. Yeah, facing off against Graham Ashcraft

1130
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: another night game, all three six voice starts. Graham, you

1131
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: do not have to Gram Graham Ashcraft.

1132
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 2: You're gonna You're gonna look at Graham Ashcraft be like

1133
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 2: holy Craft.

1134
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: Crap, leave it in there, all right.

1135
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: Wait, Graham Ashcraft. You know how we talked about like

1136
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 2: Chase Anderson's a created player name that's like you.

1137
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: Just put things together. Yeah, Gram ash Craft.

1138
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 2: But Graham ash Craft is a guy who popped last

1139
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 2: year in the Red System, got great results after kind

1140
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 2: of being up and down for his first few years

1141
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 2: in the minors.

1142
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: He throws like a ninety seven mile an hour color

1143
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: that just sweeps across the entire zone. So it's kind

1144
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: of good.

1145
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 2: I believe he's also a lefty John if I'm correct

1146
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 2: on that, maybe double check man right, These are right

1147
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 2: all right, but Sinker Color he they they're bizarre.

1148
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get a hold of them, you hit him.

1149
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: Him and Green are both pretty home run a home run,

1150
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: susceptible to the long ball. Here are this there? It

1151
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: is so you can't get the ball out of here.

1152
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: This would be great series also for the metches like

1153
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: Pump their full season numbers up. Get the bower Ray,

1154
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: get the home runs out of there. But you gotta

1155
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:37,959
Speaker 1: beat the Reds.

1156
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 2: You do have to beat.

1157
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: This is not a good roster, bad team. These are

1158
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: probably I mean we're missing Luis Castillo too, which is

1159
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: also a huge Boodally well, he's been blazing hot so far,

1160
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: Big Trey Cannada will talk about that soon. All three

1161
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: of these guys are interesting though.

1162
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 2: All three have good stuff, but all three again are young,

1163
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 2: can have struggle problems with control, and are susceptible to

1164
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 2: the home run ball. And while the Reds have trade

1165
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 2: off a lot of guys, of course they still do

1166
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 2: have Joy Votto. I'm still around on that team, still

1167
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 2: consummate bro.

1168
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: He has been hitting incredibly well since a very poor

1169
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: first few weeks in April and Ilston. He is just

1170
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: back on top of the league leaders in terms of

1171
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: bower raid, fly ball raid. He is hitting the ball

1172
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 1: hard with authority consistently.

1173
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 2: And we also have to mention that there are some

1174
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 2: former Mets, a litany of them on the Cincinnati Reds team,

1175
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 2: and they made a huge impact on Sunday to actually

1176
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 2: beat the Braves. So shout out to Brandon Drury, Albert

1177
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 2: al Mora, and Matt Reynolds. Yes you are hearing those

1178
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 2: names correctly, drove in all four runs in the Sunday

1179
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 2: victory against the Atlanta Braves to help the Mets gain

1180
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 2: again game on them, as well as Albert Almorra with

1181
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: the walk off hit in the night sitting, which I

1182
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 2: never thought I would say those three guys names together

1183
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 2: in a sentence of beating the Braves, and if I did,

1184
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 2: I would have thought it might have been with the

1185
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 2: Mets last year. It's with the Cincinnati Reds.

1186
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean Drury, he's awesome. Oh that was the first

1187
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: basement I was thinking of earlier.

1188
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 2: That's probably gonna be an All Star from that team,

1189
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 2: Ohnrandon Drury, Why yeah, Oh, Luis Castilla maybe, I don't know.

1190
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: Breden Jury is having a great year, though not all

1191
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: Star year, like Castilla's having a better year relative to

1192
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: pitcher Durius.

1193
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. Sixteen homers, fifteen doubles, forty two RBIs

1194
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: and eight to fifty two ops.

1195
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: That's really really good. Like, I think you're maybe over

1196
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: playing Castillo's year and down playing Brandon Drury's a little

1197
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: bit because he was like a three point ora.

1198
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Brandon Drury, give it to Brandon Drury, give

1199
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 2: it to the former men. I don't want Louis Castillo

1200
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 2: to have All.

1201
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: Star on his you guys the year first, Mark is

1202
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: trying to create an all Star roster that knocks Pilon

1203
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 1: wal No, no, no, that's what we said. But Brandon

1204
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: Drury probably deserves to be on there. Pete does two

1205
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: more though. Drewy is also a guy who just kind

1206
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: of always hit the ball hard. He's always had good

1207
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: quality of contact. We saw him some sparts last year

1208
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: with the Mets. He did some really good things brush lefties. Yeah,

1209
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: he could be a guy who's actually a trade candadate

1210
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,760
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, I know he could be. That's ridiculous.

1211
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 2: Tony Fam still hanging around in Cincinnati as well, still

1212
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:44,399
Speaker 2: hitting well on that team.

1213
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: You're a big Tommy Fam guy. He's a good ballplayer.

1214
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: We're missing. Tyler Stevenson is one of the most exciting

1215
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: young catchers in baseball. The guy had hits the ball

1216
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 1: really well. And I mean, is there really anything else?

1217
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: Talk about the Reds team?

1218
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 2: Oh, Edwin, he has his brothers, Yeah, would people will

1219
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 2: probably some good Instagram TikTok opportunities for those guys.

1220
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: Definitely. Alexis Edwin's better, just significantly. How it is our

1221
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: Warren's fun. I don't know if he is actually healthy

1222
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: right now or if he's not looking great so he's

1223
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 1: not his He was really good. Atarly got seven r Wow,

1224
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: when did that happen? The Reds?

1225
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,919
Speaker 2: You play you play in Great American Balls. So another

1226
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 2: former men brief form met Hunter Strickland. Yeah, talk about

1227
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 2: home runs. That guy loves giving up home runs more

1228
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 2: than most most people love their family. We would love

1229
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 2: to see at some point during this guys adicted to

1230
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 2: giving up home runs. We saw last year in the

1231
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 2: brief stay with the Mets he loves giving up home runs.

1232
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 2: This is a series the Mets have a chance to

1233
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 2: really really do some damage, separate themselves a little bit.

1234
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: And we remember last year what happened that serious Cincinnati.

1235
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 2: It's chaos baseball. Chaos baseball. You're gonna see pop ups

1236
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 2: that go ten rows back. Doesn't make any sense. But

1237
