Speaker 1: of the Mets Up Podcast. We have baseball games, the

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Mets have played them. They don't mean anything, but the

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: Mets have played games. Things inside of the games mean things.

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: We're looking at eggs, vilos, we're looking at pitch vilos,

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: we're looking at app bats, we're looking at prospects. That's

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: what we're gonna talk about here, the first two games

8
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,680

16
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: let's start talking about some ball. First off, just of

17
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: course classic, so good to hear Gary keithan Ron back.

18
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: It's just talk about a primo, primo booth. Those guys

19
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: are the best.

20
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: It's just nice to have them like in our lives again,

21
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 3: Like it feels so long when they're not there. It

22
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: feels like they've not been there forever, but once they're back,

23
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 3: it feels like they've been there the entire time. And

24
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 3: they were just they were also in mid season form.

25
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 3: They were being hysterical, like the clip, especially one that

26
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 3: made on social media about Keith dropping his ear piece

27
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 3: accidentally in his bag and he showed which bag it

28
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: was to the camera and it was his shaving bag

29
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: for when he was a player on the Mets, like his.

30
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 4: Old school eighty style, a little like cloth bag.

31
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: Like, they're just they're funny, Like these spring training games,

32
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 3: they matter like so little, truthfully, and everyone's kind of

33
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: just there, especially early on for them. It's kind of

34
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: like they just do a podcast with like baseball in

35
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: the background.

36
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it really is.

37
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: It's just especially like when when the starters get pulled

38
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: and it's a lot of prospects that aren't even necessarily

39
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: prospects to what they need to know. It's just what

40
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: do they want to talk about for the last hour,

41
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: hour and a half of the game. And that's why

42
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: Springtring is also kind of the best too. This is

43
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: gonna maybe sound crazy, elite elite nap television. You want

44
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: a nice midday nap on the weekend, watch a little

45
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: spring training baseball falsely for the last hour it's it's

46
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: it's a nice, nice exercise.

47
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then just like there's an ABS challenge and

48
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: then Keith and Ron are arguing about who's going to

49
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: be like winier about the ABS systems the pictures of

50
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: the hitters, Like that's that's classic content right there. Crazy

51
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 3: to see the ABS stuff live like in a major

52
00:01:58,960 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: league game.

53
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know people are saying it feels fast. To me,

54
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: it feels a little bit slow right now. I do

55
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: think there needs to be a little more speed to it,

56
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: because it does really like there's almost a conversation I

57
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: have of if you just call one just to throw

58
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: a picture off from their rhythm right now, based on

59
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: like it's taking like fifteen to twenty seconds. I know

60
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't seem like a lot, but just that on

61
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: top of having to wait for them the next pitch

62
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: and then get into the box, everybody goes.

63
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: Through the thing.

64
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: It does feel a little bit slow, but at the

65
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: same time, it is very cool to see it happen

66
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: because the catchers seem to be absolutely locked in. The

67
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: hitters kind of we're guessing, right.

68
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: Now, especially from just comparing it to how it was

69
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 3: working the minor leagu's last few years. It felt like

70
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: it was under five seconds where it would happened, it

71
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 3: would tap, go all right back in the box.

72
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 4: That's a good point about trying to throw the picture

73
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: off the rhythm. You get. What's the rules? Five? A

74
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: game is three game for the abs.

75
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: Oh, I wish I knew, I'll be honest, because I

76
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: don't need to know right now.

77
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 2: I haven't figured it out yet.

78
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: But at the same time, like I think in spring

79
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: training two they kind of should just let the guys,

80
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: like every inning use one if they want to.

81
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: I think Mendoza did say that was something that came out.

82
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if Diacomo wrote that or something else.

83
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 3: That and those is telling the guys be aggressive with

84
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: it because he kind of wants to figure out partially

85
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 3: which guys are going to be better or worse at that.

86
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 4: I can name one. Wan Soto will be the best,

87
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 4: he should be the best, he should use he should

88
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 4: get all of them.

89
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 3: But at the same time, it's kind of like a

90
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: it's like a muscle you have to like learn how

91
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: to use right now, where you have to know what

92
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: point in the game to do what point maybe in

93
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 3: a bath to do it?

94
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: How often you want to save them.

95
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 3: It's it's a very weird new thing to learn, especially

96
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 3: because we did hard rule changes before the last World

97
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: Baseball Classic, and have this time again when there's going

98
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: to be a spring training like half the league is missing,

99
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: we're doing rule changes again.

100
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 4: It's funny, I think. Also, it's gonna be really cool

101
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 4: to see that.

102
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: I know there's gonna be some sicko out there that's

103
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: going to keep stats of challenge percentages for players.

104
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 4: Baseball spots already doing it. Oh are they really?

105
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: It's on the game logs, now how many how many

106
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: challenges you use and how many were successful?

107
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: Does it say what player use them?

108
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: Not yet, but I figured that's something if you scroll

109
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: over that, just knowing baseball's a lot that could be

110
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: there by the regular season. But each team will start

111
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: the game with two challenges a piece. You get an

112
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: extra challenge in every extra inning, which is interesting right there.

113
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: Of course you use it in the postseason. The batter,

114
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: the pitcher, or the catcher can challenge the umpire's call.

115
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: No one else, not even the manager, may do so.

116
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: Nice and There's been a weird also conversation going on

117
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: around this about if teams broadcasts are going to keep.

118
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 4: The K zone.

119
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: Oh yes, yeah, because if the K zone is up

120
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: and you have even two seconds to challenge that pitch,

121
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: you could use that broadcast as a way to get

122
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 3: an advantage. So apparently some that are keeping the broadcast

123
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: up are going to be on a bit of tape

124
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: to light this year.

125
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, like five or six seconds or we take

126
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: it off. Yeah, which, to be honest, I don't mind

127
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: not having the K zone. I kind of like looking

128
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: back at old games that, like you see like the

129
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: twenty twelve Mets game, which I mean, nobody should really

130
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: be watching the twenty twelve Mets, but we're sick. Oh

131
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: so we've seen some games on S and Y and

132
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: there's no strike zone there, and you're like, it's kind

133
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: of kind of nice, feels like a little pure baseball again.

134
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think some people were mad about that. But

135
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: you know, my like weird tinfoil brain take over the

136
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: last few years that they've been intentionally shrinking that kzone

137
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: on television to make the umpires look bad to get

138
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 3: the ABS installed here. Also, if you if you have

139
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: a successful challenge, you keep it.

140
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: Oh nice, I like that.

141
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 3: That's that's about picking the players that are going to

142
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: be able to challenge successfully, not guys who are going

143
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 3: to do it maybe emotionally.

144
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: I guess this would be the last conversation we have

145
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: about it until it starts impacting actual games. Who do

146
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: you think will benefit more pitchers or hitters from the ABS,

147
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: because there's there is going.

148
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: To be I think hitters are well. First of all,

149
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: hitters are simply closer to the strike zone, and I

150
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: think a hit there's much less sensitive about whether it

151
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 3: is exactly what Gary and Ron we're talking Keith and

152
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 3: Rob were talking about. Here's much less sensitive to whether

153
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: or not the pitches a strike. I think they're a

154
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 3: little bit more objective where I don't know more often

155
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: than I actually that's true. I'm kind of down talking

156
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 3: myself out of that as I'm playing around. The catcher

157
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 3: at the end of the day should be the one

158
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 3: making the decision. And this is another weirdest stipulation in

159
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: this rule, the umpire can disallow a challenge if the

160
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: umpire determines the player's decision to challenge was aided by

161
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: other defenders. Runners or the dugout the request. The request

162
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 3: could be denied, the team would retain that challenge. But

163
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: that's a fun wrinkle just to cats, just to keep

164
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 3: the ump show alive.

165
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: God man, we were so close to making them not

166
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: the stars of the show.

167
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 2: But now once again, who do you man?

168
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see that the first umpire who

169
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: doesn't allow it because the pitcher on the mound had

170
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: a hissy fit.

171
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 4: It would one hundred percent be Phil Cuzzy, but he

172
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 4: retired this week.

173
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,119
Speaker 1: Dang wow, No Phil Cuzzy Love all right, Yeah, definitely

174
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: would have been him.

175
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's I think that's a fun thing.

176
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 3: That's that's one of the things I'm most excited to

177
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: watch this spring because it's just it's just the newest thing.

178
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 4: It's cool.

179
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: It also it is also really cool, I will say

180
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: on the ABS like breakdown when it tells you how

181
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: close to the strike zone it was or how many

182
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: inches it was on the strike zone, Like there was

183
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: one today in the met Yankee nz rre. Yeah, I

184
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: think Therenz challenged one and it got it by like

185
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: a sliver. And then on the opposite side, I think

186
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: Seger challenged one and it was a ball, but it

187
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: was a ball by less than an inch, like relatively speaking,

188
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: pretty impressive to get that right.

189
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: I think very sneaky Francisco Alever is going to be

190
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 3: amazing at this, like ever since he was nineteen. Remember

191
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: we interviewed him at Brooklyn how much he talked about

192
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: because that was when they first installed it in Loway,

193
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: and he talked about using that to like master the

194
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: strike zone better as a catcher and applying that to

195
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: himself as a hitter. So someone like him, who had

196
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: been you, who's used this basically since he's played professional baseball,

197
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: it's probably a bit of a bit of an advantage there.

198
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 4: So I hope he can actually use that.

199
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 5: Hey, sometimes we do a little game on foul territory

200
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 5: called role play. It's not what you think. We're just

Speaker 1: Yeah, but we will be keeping an eye out on

218
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: ABS as we go throughout the spring. The next thing

219
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: we probably should be talking about is Bobaschett, because of

220
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: course he made a play at third base and you

221
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: you would think that it was the most important play

222
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: in the most important game in Game seven of the

223
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: World Series, with two outs in the ninth inning.

224
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: No, and we're gonna talk about this more because we're

225
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: gonna pick out some fat media marvels to go at

226
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 3: the end of this, because every single person in the

227
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: world talked about one Bobashett's like four out of ten

228
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: throw from third base and two the fact that Pelon's

229
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: okay the spring training home run.

230
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: Because we all know we hit a second as well.

231
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 3: Wow, we I mean, we all know how important the

232
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: spring training home runs are. But I to not media marvel.

233
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: I want to walk you through John Harper's words about

234
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: Boba sheet. No, this is elite, this is this is

235
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,599
Speaker 3: this is good. I'm very purposefully not pulling this in

236
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: media marvel because this is this is journalism right here,

237
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 3: this is this is the goat. Let me hear jh

238
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: So four tweets total, I'll read them all, all four.

239
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 4: What play?

240
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 3: Here's the first one. This one happens on Saturday at

241
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: two o two pm. Bashet's first ground ball toward the line,

242
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 3: playing deep, the backhanded the ball to throw wasn't real

243
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: Strong pulled the first base off the bag. Ruled never

244
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 3: ruled an error. Need to see more, but armed there

245
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 3: could be an issue because he's at the game. Remember

246
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 3: John's at the game, not watching it. He's at the game.

247
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: Big Jay journalism right there, great first tweet.

248
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: Then he was replying to Don Juan So though, who

249
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 3: said John to John the first base I never heard

250
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: of dropped the ball? Quote, tweeted Don Juan hard to tell.

251
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: I'm in the stands, throw was low. They give the

252
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 3: error to Baschett question mark, so that that one was

253
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: at two o six to throw definitely not low, right, Yeah,

254
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: now we had a little bit more time to digest

255
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: four oh one pm. Never saw hours later, never never

256
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: saw a replay of Bischett's throw, as I was in

257
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: the stands at the time. Big J journalist Classic checked

258
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 3: with a scout who called it acceptable though not impressive.

259
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: He disagreed with Mendoza's postgame characterization of Bashett having a

260
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: plus plus arm, which again nailed that tweet. Ye nailed

261
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 3: that every single take and that one is correct by

262
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: John because he's the best.

263
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 4: Then you quot tweet himself.

264
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 3: Twenty minutes later four to twenty four pm the final

265
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 3: tweet about on Saturday, about about this one bow Baschett.

266
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 4: Three oh it's spring training.

267
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: Saw the replay and Bashet's throw is okay, just a

268
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: bit off line and into the runner. Keith Hernantis raised

269
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: the issue of arm strength on the telecast. Tend to

270
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: agree with what other scouts have told me that Bashett

271
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 3: should be fine there when he has time to set

272
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: and use his legs.

273
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 4: So that's the story of Bobasche's one throw, which.

274
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: Is four tweets from Mets beat writer legend Boots on

275
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: the ground shout out John Harper. That's why he's the

276
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: best of the biz. That's why he's been doing this forever.

277
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we knew that Bo's arm was never going

278
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: to be the greatest. It ranked below average in years past,

279
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: So that was one of the concerns with putting him

280
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: at third base, is that the arm strength is gonna

281
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: be an issue. But also at the same time, he

282
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: is still learning the position. It's gonna come with practice.

283
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: There's other third basement by the way, who don't have

284
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: the strongest arm either, that will be completely fine at

285
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,599
Speaker 1: the position. I think so at times it gets overrated.

286
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: But yeah, like that throw wasn't great. The hooplaw that

287
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: came over the throw was out of control. It was insane,

288
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: And again that would be more in the media marvel.

289
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: I do love the idea of John Harper walking up

290
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: to a scout at the and just asking about that

291
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: throws awesome, that's ship, that's great. That's some old school

292
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: baseball journalism right there. We don't get that anymore.

293
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 3: And I also do like him because we talk about

294
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: this a lot where Mendoza did come out and kind

295
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 3: of overdefended Bashett after the game, talking about yeah, yeah,

296
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 3: talking about how great his arm is, how he's incredibly

297
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 3: confident with him there and he can't be very confident

298
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 3: about his A billion a third. I think I am

299
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: still pretty confident about Bashett's billy at third. But we

300
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: know Bobaschett's arm is and plus plus and I like,

301
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 3: I do like John Harper being like I don't agree

302
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 3: with Mendoza on that and look at the scout who

303
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 3: who agrees that the opposite is true.

304
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 4: Especially like we just we have the information.

305
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: It's like, don't lie to us, like we have everything

306
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: now you're not gonna see like you know, watch Louis

307
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: onn Hellakutnia take at basket, but he hits the ball hards, Like, no,

308
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't.

309
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: We had we had that info. He doesn't hit the

310
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: ball hard.

311
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 4: I want to compare Bashett's arm to some other arms or.

312
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: Zach Short maybe is a better one because Acutia actually

313
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: has hit the ball hard.

314
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 2: We know Zach Schort doesn't hit the ball hard.

315
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: So last year, Bobachet's average throw to first base from

316
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 3: shortstop was eighty two point three miles per hour six

317
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 3: percent dile from shortstop, so we'll go down a little

318
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 3: bit from third, but even from third, Nolan Arnado eighty

319
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 3: three point four.

320
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: That was the one I was kind of hinting towards.

321
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: That wasn't one hundred percent sure what his number was,

322
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: so I didn't want to say it. Yeah, but that

323
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: was what I'm hinting towards, where you don't need to

324
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: have elite arm strength at third base doesn't help one

325
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: hundred percent. We'd be lying if we said we didn't

326
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: want the guy with a cannon over at third base

327
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: like we saw Brett Bady.

328
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 4: And even Vento's has a great hose. Yeah, has an

329
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 4: absolute hose.

330
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the reasons why he continued

331
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: to play third base at some points, because the arm's

332
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: so good. It's wasted at first. But for Bo, I

333
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: would say, the arm is the thing I'm least worried about.

334
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: I need to see him move, I need to see

335
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: him be confident playing third base. I need to see

336
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: the glove, because that was one of the biggest things

337
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: for him in Toronto when he played shortstop. He just

338
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: kind of had no range, couldn't really get to any balls.

339
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 3: And we've talked about a lot that the biggest change

340
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: from short to third is just footwork, because it's just

341
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 3: it's very different angles you're getting the ball, as different hops,

342
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 3: you're getting it, as different reaction time you need just

343
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 3: by being closer, closer to the hither, especially the right

344
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 3: handed hitters, and just getting that slice from left handed hitters.

345
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 4: I think that will come with time.

346
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: But every time this happens, where going to see hundreds

347
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 3: of thousands and millions of impressions of every single Boba

348
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 3: che play because we're the Mets and everyone likes to

349
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 3: talk about.

350
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: Us, of course, and we'll we'll talk about that more

351
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: in the media, marvel, because it's just the tweets were

352
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: out of control again. He also threw it to like

353
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: Jose Rojas, who was not going to be a first

354
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: baseman ever, hopefully on the New York Mets. He's five

355
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: to ten playing first base. Oh not almost almost nine

356
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 1: nine actually five to ten yeah, probably, I mean was

357
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: listed the six. He's probably actually five to ten ross

358
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: probably actually five eighths. That's kind of where it weis

359
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: all lines up, But just talk about some other things,

360
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: because again, can't keep eating this dead horse.

361
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 4: I like that Carson Bench hit lead off on Sunday.

362
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I like that he got to play the

363
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 3: appearance against Tim Hill, who's one of the toughest lefties

364
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: in the league, and it was pretty clear that he'd

365
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 3: never faced the lefty. I mean not he's never faced

366
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 3: the lefty like that, but those first two pitches he

367
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 3: was a sinker in the zone, kind of timid on it,

368
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 3: and then a slyther Way darting away and he flailed and.

369
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: To Tim Hill and Carson Benzer's defense, Tim Hill gets

370
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: every left handed batles.

371
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 4: I'm saying, they all look foolish. So like, just look

372
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 4: at that rep. Yeah, give him that rep. Let him

373
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 4: see what it's like.

374
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: If Carson just gonna be the player that we need

375
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: him to be, he I don't want him to not

376
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: be able to face left handed pitching.

377
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 2: That's something he needs to develop into.

378
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: Definitely, and it might not he doesn't have to develop

379
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: into that this year, but this is this is the

380
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 3: month in the time to be getting those reps against

381
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 3: truth to one of the toughest left hand lefty pitchers

382
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 3: in the league.

383
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 4: Also fun watching aj Ewing play, dude's a spark plug.

384
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 4: He's got bounce juice. Yeah, he's bouncing.

385
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: He's a great way to explain. He just he feels

386
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: like like great chaos.

387
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 4: I like that that play that went on Twitter.

388
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 3: I tweeted that he when he backed up the second

389
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 3: basement because Kevin Prale threw a duck in the centerfield.

390
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Kevin, but the guy just catches here.

391
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 3: But Ewing picked it up behind, didn't even make the

392
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 3: strongest throw the third, but was backing up so tight

393
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: till he could throw two hopper get the guy out.

394
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 3: And I also like that after the game, and Dooza,

395
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: when talking about Ewing specifically mentioned his jumps in center field.

396
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 3: Maybe it's a similar ilk of Mendoza talking about the

397
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 3: Schet's strong arm and that's not true. But Ewing is

398
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: grading out or he's a plus plus center field defender,

399
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: and he has been playing center field very long. So

400
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: the thing that can continue to get better for him

401
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: as a bit of a novice center field that relatively

402
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: is jumps, so imaginally thinks they're good. If those can

403
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: keep getting better, it's like that's it's it's nice to

404
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 3: see how high have a floor as a baseball player,

405
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 3: Aja Ewing has.

406
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, if he can continue to get good reads and

407
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: good jumps on the ball with his speed and his athleticism,

408
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: he will just be one of the elite defensive center

409
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: fielders in baseball because that will be the separator, is.

410
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 4: The speed with the jump.

411
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 3: I also like that he had he had like a

412
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 3: run scoring opportunity. I'll remember if it was the inning

413
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 3: before the inning after on Saturday, and he worked at

414
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: count three to one, and he looked like he was

415
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: so ready just do some damage and he.

416
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 4: Got I don't remember.

417
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: I don't remember if it was like a cover or

418
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 3: like a fast hangar whoever, the Anche reliever and through

419
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: like something ninety two with a tiny hump at the

420
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 3: top of his own and you Wing just cocked his

421
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 3: hands back and tried to whack it, but he just

422
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: kind of he just kind of got out there it

423
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: top to for a sack fly.

424
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: I do think that we're gonna see this Mets team

425
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: this year, like organizationally, make a little bit of a

426
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: change again. We know that they struggled with runners in

427
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: scoring position last year, and we do know that partially

428
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: it's luck, but also sometimes you have to play to

429
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: what the scoreboard tells you. I think the Mets will

430
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: be a little more situationally focused, especially for guys that

431
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: are not want Soto, that are not Francisco Lindoor. Now

432
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: are those guys because we want them doing damage. But

433
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: I do expect maybe some of the more role players

434
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: in this team, some of the guys towards more to

435
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: the bottom of the order, to be doing things like

436
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: that putting the ball in the air three to one,

437
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: where there's a guy on third base get that run in.

438
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: I think there's also something to the fact of using

439
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 3: your A, B, and C swing at different counts. I

440
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 3: think that I think a lot of players in the

441
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 3: league to do this. I think, yeah, yeah, I think

442
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 3: Francisco Inndoor does this very well. But I think there

443
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 3: is something to the fact of, like, all right, it's like,

444
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 3: let's try and drive this ball.

445
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 4: Like I understand, a guy like aj.

446
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 3: Ewing, probably as a prospect, should be playing to the

447
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 3: scoreboard more so in games like this because you're trying

448
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: to work and show the coaches that you could be

449
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 3: that kind of baseball player. But at the same time,

450
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: also I think a guy like aj Ewing is like

451
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna pop one right now.

452
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

453
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 3: So when you get a three one one out bass juice, Yeah,

454
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 3: like like put the hands back and try to put

455
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: your a swing on that ball, like try to get

456
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 3: that extra like let'll take a bad speed. So it's

457
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: gonna be fun to watch the differences and approaches of

458
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 3: hitters this year as it seems like we're massively shifting

459
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 3: organizational hitting philosophy to keep it.

460
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: In the outfield to Ryan Clifford playing the outfield in

461
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: both of the games, right yeah, Which that's that's big.

462
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: That's something that we've kind of talked about where the

463
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: Mets I think are a little bit higher on Ryan

464
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: Clifford in the outfield than a lot of people would

465
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: have expected. He has a cannon of an arm. Maybe

466
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: that's a way to find Ryan Clifford's more playing time too.

467
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: It's never bad to be able to play multiple positions,

468
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: and that does it. It seems like he's gonna be

469
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: able to play corner outfield in first base, which is cool.

470
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

471
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 3: And it also seems like, I mean, if we're going

472
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 3: to have a second basement or a short stop, we

473
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 3: could play first base.

474
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 4: They probably just get that job now. Anyway.

475
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 3: So it's like Ryan Cli, I mean, it's just fun

476
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 3: also to have arms like we've eve been. We've lamented

477
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: the last few years of Mets teams and we haven't

478
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 3: really had great arms in the outfield. So any good

479
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 3: arms that we could have, and we've seen benj have

480
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 3: some throws that have gone viral on Twitter as well,

481
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 3: Like good arms are good. I like having good arms

482
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 3: in my outfields can be fun. Wrinkled with this team

483
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 3: this year.

484
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 4: Also, your boy m J.

485
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: Melendez look pretty good in the outfield too.

486
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 4: Look Particalarly Randa.

487
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 3: I told you guys last year that Melenda's finally made

488
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 3: tries in the outfield while he looked like the worst

489
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 3: hitter in Major League Baseball.

490
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 4: So st definitely possible.

491
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 3: I mean, shouting them jam Blenda is prossupport their JD

492
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: Baseball cards, now let's go.

493
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 4: Loves the hobby.

494
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 3: But I just, I mean, again, like all of these

495
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: guys just look like there's they can bring something to

496
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 3: the table, Like there's a tool here, there's a tool there.

497
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 3: Even you got like Jared Young, who like was terrible

498
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 3: to major league level last year, but rock Triple A

499
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 3: the entire season.

500
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 4: And when he does make contact, he's always loud, puts

501
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 4: a ride into it whenever he gets it.

502
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 3: Especially like these are also guys again seemingly the Mets

503
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 3: trying to build out the fringe edges of the roster

504
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 3: a little bit more, I don't know, more intelligently, Like

505
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 3: these are all Patween advantage guys.

506
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 4: I think that's very intentional.

507
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: I think that they're not trying to just have guys

508
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: on the forty man roster because you need forty men

509
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: on that roster. It seems like there is a purpose

510
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 1: for every single one of these guys, and there's a

511
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: like a use case for all of them.

512
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 3: Yes, and if some of them it's straneous with one another,

513
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 3: and that's what training is for the figure this happen

514
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 3: between Melendez Mike Talkman, we're just talking about who's the

515
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 3: left handed out of Jared Young. We're just talking about,

516
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 3: like those are all guys that are fighting for similar

517
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: shares of playing time this coming season. There were also

518
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 3: a couple pitching demons that kind of popped up in

519
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 3: the spring, which is nice, that's a fun part about

520
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 3: this time of year. And I think two that especially

521
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 3: caught my eye. First, Ben Simon yep reliever who got

522
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: up to Binghamton last year. He was a late round

523
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 3: draft pick. He's a Jersey guy like us. He was drafted,

524
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 3: grew up born in Princeton, went to college at Elon,

525
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 3: kind of just met. He was thirteenth round pick, middling stuff.

526
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 3: He always had a fastball supposed to sit mid nineties

527
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 3: and tick to the upper nineties. And yes, say he

528
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 3: was just pumping ninety eight miles an hour fastballs with

529
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 3: almost twenty inches of IVB. He also had some sinkers,

530
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: but I think this is also spring training for baseball Savon.

531
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 3: I think some of the sinkers were misslessed as fastballs

532
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 3: vice versa. So I think that all got mixed up.

533
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 3: But still if they were all forcing fastballs, the pitch

534
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 3: still looked like it could be plus with some cutting

535
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 3: some ride. Also had a nice color. That's just a

536
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 3: nice bite playoff that fastball. Well, he's also a guy

537
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 3: that's probably trying to get a little hotther right now

538
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 3: because he is going to the World Baseball Classic pitching

539
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 3: for Team Israel. So it seems like he could honestly

540
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 3: be a good middle reliever for them. Like that could

541
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 3: be a fun thing where we're watching Ben Simon in

542
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 3: the group stage to be like, whoa, I'd like to

543
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 3: get to Triple A this year, young fellow.

544
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: It's one of those things where like the Mets are

545
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: gonna be aggressive with their bullpen. We know it, and

546
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: we've talked about how they want some shurable spots. I'm

547
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: not saying that Ben Simon's gonna be a big part

548
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: of this team this year. Is probably a good chance

549
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: he doesn't even pitch for this team in twenty twenty six.

550
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't, But the idea of having a ninety

551
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 1: mile an hour fastball with that kind of just giddy

552
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: up that he has right now, and if he can

553
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: really develop that second pitch, like you said, the cutter

554
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: had some good bite, that's someone that we just know

555
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: those pitches will play at the major league level. And

556
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: these are things that you've seen David Stearns and David

557
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: David Stearns ran organizations do where they'll just they'll pull

558
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: a guy out of nowhere and all of a sudden,

559
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: he'll be a reliever that makes a bunch of good

560
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: appearances for your team.

561
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 3: The Mets need that, and again, Simon could be one

562
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: of those guys another one who I like that at

563
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: a draft who took him a while because he had

564
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 3: some darability issues injuries.

565
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 4: But Brett Banks, oh was he USC? He was not USC.

566
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 3: I think he was a small school in the Carolinas.

567
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 3: He wasn't coastal. Let me look look it up real quick.

568
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 3: But Rep Banks, he was dropping a cut ride fastball

569
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 3: that was sitting ninety five ninety six and when they

570
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 3: see Wilmington, that was it.

571
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 4: I knew was a small school in North Carolina. Was

572
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 4: in the same pole.

573
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 3: But he had a cut ride fastball. I got to

574
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 3: ninety six, ninety seven, ninety five being the low end.

575
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 3: He had a lifty color. He threw one sweet, had

576
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 3: tons of sweep on it. Again, just these are guys

577
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 3: who are going to just fill up the double a bullpen.

578
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 3: If your double a bullpen's full of guys who could

579
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 3: throw ninety five ninety eight miles an hour with good

580
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 3: fastball shapes. Like that's how you're a double eighteen that

581
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 3: has like a sixty percent win percentage like last year.

582
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need more guys with weapons. And it's kind

583
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 2: of funny. I was, I was, I was watching the

584
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 2: game with my dad today.

585
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: Mets Yankees, and obviously, like it's not fair, and I'm

586
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: not gonna disparage any of the guys that were in

587
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: the game, but like, sometimes you see guys who are

588
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: throwing like ninety one right from the right side, and

589
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: they're getting tattooed in spring training and this and that,

590
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: and I go, I wonder when we're gonna really fully

591
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: see that shift. And I do think it's happening more

592
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 1: where it's like demon stuff. We want the demon stuff.

593
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: Like as nice as is that you can throw strikes

594
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: at the minor league level, do we care about winning

595
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: like that? Probably shouldn't. We should be looking at guys

596
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: who can be hits and home runs. And I do

597
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: like that. Guys like Ben Simon and Brett Banks. The

598
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: Mets identify them as like you are, your role in

599
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: the major league level will be demon reliever. We want

600
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: you to come in and pump and have nasty stuff,

601
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: and right now we're seeing that.

602
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 4: Out of them. Yeah.

603
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 3: Douglas Soriano is another one who talked about who has

604
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 3: funky stuff. He has a good slider. Joe Jacques got

605
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 3: in one of these two games. He he's a weird

606
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 3: East West guy.

607
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 4: I can't figure him out.

608
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on with him, and he

609
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 3: will get ending this year though. Michael Bauman is like

610
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 3: he's he's been a journeyman reliever for a while. He's

611
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 3: had some spurts of success. He also taught Bryce Miller

612
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 3: his spike curve. A spike curve has tons of drop on.

613
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 3: It was nice and he had good lift on his fastball,

614
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 3: could carry on it like it's just it's nice. Also,

615
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 3: we got some some clarification from Brandon Waddell in his role.

616
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna link Brandon Waddell and Hageman together because

617
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 3: those those guys to mere Siamese twins. But what Dell

618
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: said that the plan for him is to stay stretched

619
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 3: out and basically be a star in Triple A. So

620
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: it just seems like those guys will all year be

621
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 3: like the three and four stars in.

622
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 4: Syracuse and you get a doubleheader.

623
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and like and why Dell still has some

624
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 3: funk to him and Hageman does too. Hagman didn't look

625
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 3: very good on Sunday. Why that look decent on Saturday.

626
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 3: They're just like those guys will be Triple A pitchers

627
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 3: and like you need them for a day spots start,

628
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 3: take that take that long uber to from Syracuse to

629
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 3: Queens and get get in the game.

630
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: You're going fingers crossed, like, no more than forty five

631
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: innings this year from those two combined.

632
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 3: No, but again, if it's forty five innings, like, just

633
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 3: please have me already under four and then we're okay.

634
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 2: Hope, hope the offense hits that day.

635
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 4: That's it. That's it.

636
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 3: And another cool thing from today's spring training, well, the

637
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 3: fellas were warming up at Clover Park. They had they

638
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 3: had the boys, the USA Boys on the big screen

639
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 3: with the sound on, which was cool.

640
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that just a little peek behind the curtain.

641
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 4: That game was awesome.

642
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: I don't particularly care about hockey, but the international hockey

643
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: and playoff hockey is electric.

644
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 4: Some of the best sports. You know, you care less

645
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 4: about eight o'clock in the morning. That's all that I

646
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 4: do either. But yeah, yeah that that.

647
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: Getting me out of bed at eight o'clock in the

648
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: morning is always difficult. And I was watching the game

649
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: in bed.

650
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 4: It was sick. I was on my feed cheering during

651
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 4: the third period that game. It was It was fun.

652
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 3: As how I do think it was a little soft

653
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 3: and the side of gold medal with three on three hockey.

654
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 4: But I'm happy you worked in our favor.

655
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 3: Yeah of course, go Usa, yeah right, And a couple

656
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 3: of things we want to talk about before we're gonna

657
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 3: run through a few media marbles. Let's let you guys

658
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 3: go on your way here in the blizzard day in

659
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 3: New York. I like, I like whim seeing wan So

660
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 3: thea right now. Not that I never didn't like what

661
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 3: I was seeing out of one so though, but there's

662
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 3: just a different, different spark in his eye right now.

663
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 3: He's a little more bubbly.

664
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: It seems like, I mean, think about when we spoke

665
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: to Carlos Peltron that Mets the podcast Shout Out Us.

666
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: He talked about how that first year in New York,

667
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: and I know it wasn't Soto's first year in New York.

668
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: He played for the Yankees, but it was a little

669
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: bit different, Like Soda was coming into Judges team, and

670
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: I know Soda was technically coming into Alonso and Lindor

671
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: and all these guys teams, but Sodo got paid the

672
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: most money that anyone ever got paid.

673
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 4: It was his team essentially.

674
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: People all eyes were on him where in New York,

675
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, or with the Yankees, it was

676
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: like Soto's here next to Judge.

677
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 4: He was Judge's number two. Judge is clearly a better player.

678
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: Not saying anything bad about Soda now, it just feels

679
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: like he's more comfortable. And Beltron talked about that with us,

680
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: like there's just a comfortability that comes in year two.

681
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that you learn. There's things

682
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: that you know you can and can't do that aren't

683
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 1: important to you. You try to do everything that you possibly can.

684
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 4: Year one, your two.

685
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: You know the guys, you know the team, you know

686
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 1: the coaches, you know the organization. It's a lot more comfortable,

687
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: and it seems like he is very comfortable right now.

688
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 3: Well, you know, so some of the guys because now

689
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 3: once so those suddenly like one of the longest tenured Mets's.

690
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 4: One with one year under his spell.

691
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 3: But there's also an element of I was talking about

692
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 3: this with my uncle on on Saturday, my old cousin

693
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 3: rors first birthday party.

694
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 4: Shot out of Aurora, Aurora, Shout out of Auroras.

695
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 3: That was Staten Island. But it's kind of like the

696
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 3: difference between renting and buying, you know, what I mean.

697
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 3: I'm sure people there's a lot of people listening to

698
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 3: this podcasts who have done either one of those things,

699
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 3: possibly both of them. Possibly some of you guys neither

700
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 3: of them. But again, it's like when you're when you

701
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 3: had that first year for the Yankees, the whole thing

702
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 3: was like an audition, like you rent, you rent an

703
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 3: apartment with your friends.

704
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 4: You know, you have a year in there. You don't

705
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 4: really care about anything. You're having fun, you're loose, you're

706
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 4: having a good time.

707
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 3: But all of a sudden, you've got you've got a

708
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 3: thirty year fixed rate mortgage. You're like, oh, this is

709
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 3: much more serious like now and actually really here. So

710
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 3: it's like, I think that is a difference between the

711
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 3: one year and the Yankees, the one year at the

712
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 3: Mets now possibly the second year with the Mets. But

713
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 3: also he just seems he seems a little bit more comfortable.

714
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 3: Chelsea James, who's the new MLB inside there for SNY,

715
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 3: I don't know who the last guy was.

716
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 4: I'm really happy he got replaced. Do you not making

717
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 4: a joke?

718
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 2: Okay, you definitely do.

719
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 4: But she's she's old.

720
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 3: The story in an SNI article came out I remember

721
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 3: it was Saturday or Sunday about the guys were doing

722
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 3: like a like a rundown drill with the pictures. They're

723
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: basically trying to get trying to get position players to

724
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 3: do the running for them. Yes, and then like Sola

725
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 3: was doing it and like he was active, he was

726
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 3: running and he was laughing about like him and Freddy

727
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 3: were messing with each other. He also did that drill

728
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: in the outfielder who was doing sprints with Christopher squerro Oh.

729
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, yeah.

730
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 3: He's been attached at the hip with Luis Robert like

731
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 3: it's it's that's that's a music for my ear. Yeah,

732
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 3: it just seems like a little bit it's a little

733
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 3: bit nicer cohesionally, a little bit more of like leading

734
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 3: by example with him. It's just a little bit more

735
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 3: of like having fun. Maybe just excited for the WBS

736
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 3: that could be part of it. The thirty nine percent

737
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 3: has been hit as well.

738
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: Which I was gonna say the toxic traded me of

739
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: like just wanting to be a troll, wants he's got

740
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: more latinos a thirty nine percent, come on, That's why

741
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: it feels comfortable.

742
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 3: Sus also been fun to watch I think who was

743
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 3: awesome again. Recurring guests The Mets, the Podcast We Love

744
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 3: Christopher Squerro, We Love, We Love, We Love The Bronxdalton

745
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 3: var Show. He's just he just looks like he plays

746
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 3: ball well.

747
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 4: He's also built like a brick shiit house.

748
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: I was like today he was leading off second and

749
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: he looks like a linebacker. He's got the fucking try

750
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: aps and everything. You don't see that on baseball players.

751
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: No, and he's fun like I do. Like how versatile

752
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 3: he's shown to be. You were talking about in that bat,

753
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 3: you soft him that you liked, right, Yeah, he hadn't

754
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 3: that bat.

755
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 4: I think it was either against Louis Heel or whoever

756
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 4: came in next.

757
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: But he was a start there. Yeah, swearrow Uh worked

758
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: account like he was. I think, down worked count to

759
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: three to two. Good at bats, laying off good pitches,

760
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: work to walk, like just just something that you don't

761
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: necessarily see from a guy who I don't want to

762
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: say is like proving himself because we know he's not

763
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: on the major league roster right now.

764
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: He's not fighting for a spot.

765
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: But I think sometimes, especially early in spring training, you

766
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: can see these guys get a little over aggressive because

767
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: you want to show, you want to you want to

768
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: show out, you want to prove to your organization. Look

769
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: at me, watch me, especially when they sent you away

770
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: to the away game, like that's not where the the

771
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: a squad necessarily goes, but is are still on you,

772
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: Carls Mendoz is still managing the game. It was a

773
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: fantastic at bats something where like at such a young

774
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: age for Swarrow, for a guy who's a Swiss army knife,

775
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: he can do so many things. Again Bronx Dalton var show,

776
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: that's so cool to see. Those are the reasons why

777
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: I love swatching spring training games like that at bat

778
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: right there, I'm like, so this this is a guy

779
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: who's going to.

780
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 3: Hit and he's the guy that think by the end

781
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 3: of this season, if he performs again, still in the

782
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 3: Upper Miners, he's going to be a hipster top punch

783
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 3: of prospects million percent. He already got got love from

784
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 3: Jordan Rosenbloom's like pure projections numbers, model based prospect rankings

785
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 3: we called oopsie.

786
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 4: That's on fangrafts.

787
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 3: I think Swear was like seventy nine wow from Upper

788
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 3: Miners data. And also because Suero has a really good

789
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 3: bassbet which we talked to you guys about. We highlighted

790
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 3: that when he was in the Arizona Fall League this

791
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 3: past this past fall where he came on this podcast.

792
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 3: So it's just again similar to we're talking about with

793
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 3: the pitchers when guys like Christopher Swuerro popping up that

794
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 3: we're not high profile picks or signings. Was not a

795
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 3: high profile guy coming through the minor leagues, and now

796
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, I know Ernest Dove is the

797
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 3: mess prospect.

798
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 4: His mess prospect was.

799
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 3: He loves Swerrow and it's just like this, how could

800
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: you not like you watch the guy player Like there's

801
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: he's doing things that I like watching happen on a

802
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 3: baseball field.

803
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: And he's gonna be so valuable because of all the

804
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: versatility that he has and the fact that he can

805
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: you know, pop a ball out every once in a

806
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: while too, which is nice.

807
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can't can't really teach like seventy five mile

808
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 3: prior basspeed, No, just just be straw. Another thing quickly

809
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 3: we got to talk about every every single time we

810
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 3: come to do video episode with you guys like well

811
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: Sam another either long deep article with Brandon Nemo talking

812
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 3: all about the trade last season leadership, not holding any

813
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 3: grudges with Francisco Lindor. I'm feeling like he was wanted

814
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: by the Rangers. Really just really an article, very illuminating.

815
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the no grudges comment was definitely I

816
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: think the most interesting of all this. I do feel

817
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: like a specifically, Yeah, I do feel like we knew

818
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: all the stuff about like him being hurt by the trade.

819
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: He even heard earlier when he got traded how he

820
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: was like whatever to help the Mets man like, and

821
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: it felt like it was time for me to move

822
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: and that would really help this team move forward.

823
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 2: It's like, damn, that's heartbreaking stuff.

824
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 4: YEA.

825
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: Also interesting that apparently anonymous was the people inside the

826
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: Mets orger Mets player.

827
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 4: It was anonymous, I think players.

828
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: Okay said that Nimo was trying too hard to be

829
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: a leader last year, which I guess you could read

830
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: that for however you would like. But it's an interesting

831
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: little tidbit for sure.

832
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to think of, like, who would be

833
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 3: the funniest person to have said that.

834
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 4: The funniest per to have said that would be Paul Blackburn,

835
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 4: who would be the funniest. We know he thinks about

836
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 4: the medical bess.

837
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that guy's a loser, but that's a shame.

838
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: We really went to bat for Paul Blackbird and I

839
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: hate it, DUTs. Now, who would be the weirdest one

840
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: still on the team right now? Oh, I mean, I

841
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: think the funniest would be like some of the wilindor

842
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: by Far talk. Yeah, that would be I think hilarious.

843
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: Won't be like Viento's.

844
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: I was thinking like man was trying too hard.

845
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 3: Man Ento's has some good sound by just being like

846
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 3: he's down for whatever he wants to help the team.

847
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 4: He seems like, yeah, because he has to.

848
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 3: You know, he seems like he seems like he realizes

849
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 3: where he's at right now in this roster. He seems

850
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 3: like he has kind of a new found appreciation for

851
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 3: his role if if he were to have one. It's

852
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 3: just again, all this stuff feels nice in the last

853
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: week of February, but it's still good to see.

854
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: Mark Vento's knows that if he does not make it

855
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: as spring training on this roster, he's gonna be playing

856
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: first base for the Colorado Rockies.

857
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 4: So like, I think he really wants to be here.

858
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 4: I mean, he might be a Hall of Famer if

859
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 4: that's the case.

860
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 3: But let's now close up a few minutes because there's

861
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 3: just some good media marvels from the weekend.

862
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: Unbelievable, Like we got to start it off with the

863
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 2: Pete run.

864
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 4: Watch the home run hurd.

865
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: It honestly little little somber because Bill Mazeroski, the theo

866
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: Bobby Thompson was the.

867
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 4: Home run herd around the world. Ye damn it, damn it,

868
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 4: you're closely.

869
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 3: You know, you had your nineteen fifties mixed up there,

870
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 3: but there was there was like a half hour on

871
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 3: Friday where I could not scroll my Twitter timeline and

872
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 3: not see p Lons was home run.

873
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 4: It was.

874
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 2: It was the most important home run ever hit in

875
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: spring training.

876
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 3: MLB Maine posted it and then they quote tweeted a

877
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 3: slow a side a side shot of it with a

878
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 3: little bit slow motion the follow through, and then we

879
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: had the classic, of course, the Mark he Lly article

880
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 3: about it.

881
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 4: We love Mark Eely, but.

882
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 3: Comparing Planso Leaving to Reggie Jackson Yanke, there's some differences

883
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: in those guys.

884
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 4: Let you just a few could let you guys figure

885
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 4: them out.

886
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 3: And then just every single account Pete home run, Pete Homer,

887
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 3: and I wanted to throw I want to throw a

888
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 3: guy worthy in here a little bit because he had

889
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 3: he had another home run Sunday and I got worthy.

890
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 3: He had a tweet about him, hype Pete up all year,

891
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 3: like that's it.

892
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 4: He wanted all. He wants Alonzo to enjoy his new chapter.

893
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 3: And so many people are like, hey, dude, why why

894
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 3: would you spend your time as a career that I

895
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 3: pick up Pete Loans on a different team.

896
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, I mean we love Wardy, but yeah, it

897
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: is funny to see those comments. This is the thing

898
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: I'll say about it, like, I hope Pete has a

899
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: phenomenal year. I'm not rooting against Pete. Still love Pete.

900
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: I think we got to give it up though I

901
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: and I was someone who didn't give it up for long.

902
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: I held on to it for way too long. I've

903
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: given up now. I hope Pete Alonzo does well. When

904
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: he hits a bomb against the Yankees, I'll be tweeting

905
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: it out. When he does damage against teams that the

906
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: Mets need to lose, I'll be pumped up until that.

907
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm not tweeting out of spring trading home run with

908
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo.

909
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

910
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 3: We might have to from Mets up just as a

911
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 3: joke next time, just to get everyone in here and

912
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 3: on the stupid bits we're going to do. But like,

913
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 3: I don't remember this much fanfare when like Albert pool

914
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 3: Holes left the Cardinals.

915
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 4: One of the greatest baseball players of all time, Albert

916
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 4: pool Holes.

917
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 3: They won championships and MVPs and it's like literally one

918
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 3: of the best baseball players.

919
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 4: Seven hundred home runs any of us are ever going

920
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 4: to see in our lives.

921
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 3: I really don't remember this much going on after the

922
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 3: fact about that.

923
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 4: It's just I've really you signed with a team that

924
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 4: said that winning is not one of their top five priorities.

925
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 4: So and then he also had the quote about wanting

926
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 4: to feel wanted. It's like, all right, we did.

927
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 3: The Mets did offer you seve years one hundred six

928
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 3: mill contract. Again, that's just me and Marble have to

929
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 3: talk about that because that was mostly for MLB man

930
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 3: because they were like this crazy and then I gotta

931
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 3: do again, Boba, shit were unbelievable. I just like it's

932
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 3: also it's like the worst people on Baseball Twitter, who

933
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 3: are coming out tweeting these clips? Ye, Like it's it's

934
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 3: Dan Clark who's saying both socks the Mets are overpaying

935
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 3: a DH If you see somebody with a Calshi logo

936
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 3: next to their name, like who gives a ship with

937
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 3: this person? That's to say it's like the it's mutants

938
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 3: from Yankees Twitter tweeting about it, which is Masith, Well,

939
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 3: I mean probably I have him actully muted it, but

940
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 3: like I mean, i want I'll shot a maut just

941
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 3: because I'm sure he wants it.

942
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: Like cole Is King, Oh yeah, trying to be cutter

943
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 2: as King?

944
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 4: Who is the King? But I'm saying, like you're supposed

945
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 4: to be Yankee account.

946
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 3: You guys are supposed to think you're better, cooler, whatever

947
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 3: than the Mets, and you're tweeting a Mets spring training clip.

948
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 2: Do we get anything from our boy?

949
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 4: Who k m P. I don't think so, okay, that's good,

950
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 4: you know respect from that? Well I'm not checking.

951
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, Also again like like Jimbob made account like

952
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 3: talking baseball, it's like you're there. They're tweeting this clip

953
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 3: out has million impressions, like I know, we know what

954
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 3: you guys are doing, and I'm happy that and good

955
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 3: for the interns. Happy the intern was able to get

956
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 3: those impressions. But it's just like this is going.

957
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 2: To get paid, so at least they earn their keep.

958
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 3: The Blue Jays people are now coming out like ragging

959
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 3: on Bow after hopelessly defending him for the last few years,

960
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 3: Like it's just you would.

961
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: Think that Boba, the way that these guys defended Bobache

962
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: in the past, that he was their brother or but

963
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: he was a family member.

964
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 2: It was like, don't you say a bad thing?

965
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: And now that he's gone, and it seemed like the

966
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: Blue Jays didn't have interest in bringing him back, and

967
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: Bobached hit you know, arguably a huge home run for

968
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: them in the World Series, a pretty big one.

969
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 4: Now all of a sudden, they're like, fuck your guts,

970
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 4: I hate you.

971
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 3: It's just like, I just can't believe we're going to

972
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 3: have to do this probably the entire season, right.

973
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that's what happens when you're you're

974
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: one of the most watched teams in baseball, and when

975
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: you when you when you take over New York City,

976
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: everybody's watching. So that's what happens with the Mets. Now,

977
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: it's our city, that's really it. Also, I mean talk

978
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: about our city. Could you tell to people about Michael

979
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: Kay on Sunday? I listen, I understand d it's spring

980
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: training for them too, and like even Gary Keith and

981
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: Ron at times aren't perfect during spring training, right. But man,

982
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: Michael Kay makes watching spring training baseball feel like a chore.

983
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: It is unenjoyable. And I know, I know there's a

984
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: good chance of the Lions listening. And if he is,

985
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: I hope we hear you roar tomorrow morning on the

986
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,959
Speaker 1: radio because you're so You're such a big line. But man,

987
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: he's talking about a guy who's unprepared for his job.

988
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 1: It seems like every single day Michael Kay couldn't pronounce

989
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: any of the Mets players names right. He had almost

990
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: no idea who was on. I know, as you get

991
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: later into the games, the numbers are different.

992
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 4: That part I'm not.

993
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm talking about early in the game when he had

994
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: the starting lineup. I mean, he couldn't predict say guys names, right.

995
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: I think at one point he said that Luis Renz

996
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: hit another home run, it was Hayden Sanger. It's like,

997
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: just just pay attention for two seconds, Michael Kay, I'm

998
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: begging you.

999
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 4: Joe Girardi, thank god he was there.

1000
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 2: Great on the color commentary.

1001
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: You need guys like that when Michael Kay is catching

1002
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: flies with his mouth open, sleeping.

1003
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 3: Baseball guy right there. And then the last one in

1004
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 3: front of the show. We talked about the Olympics, but briefly,

1005
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 3: funny tweet from my guy, Tim Healy. Yes that somebody

1006
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 3: blew a big time by schedule doing the men's hockey

1007
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 3: game for eight am on Sunday, but you know it's

1008
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 3: gonna be US Canada. The European time zones do not matter.

1009
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 3: Work the entire Olympics around this schedule. Give the bettert slot.

1010
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 2: I stand with Tim. I'm wiculous, I'm with us.

1011
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 4: The games happening in Italy that they're doing the closing ceremonies.

1012
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: Oh no, you can't do anything after the closing ceremonies

1013
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: the Olympics because everyone's really locked into those.

1014
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 4: Well, did you close the ceremony, put out the torch?

1015
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 4: That's it.

1016
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: If there's one event that happens after the closing ceremonies,

1017
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: then Tim Healy's one thousand percent right.

1018
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe it should be primetime.

1019
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: It should be primetime American, especially because you think the

1020
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: Italians are really the ones that are there allowed them

1021
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: to the USA, Canada Hockey give give the people what

1022
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 1: they want primetime.

1023
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 3: They should have found a way to maybe do ten

1024
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 3: am eleven am, like a loive o'clock. But that's how

1025
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 3: like the knockout rounds were.

1026
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 4: Like.

1027
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 3: USA played their their semi final game on Thursday at

1028
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 3: three like again, probably not that late because you're pushing again,

1029
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 3: like you it would have been fun to have this later.

1030
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 3: But again, the real Patriots, we woke up in the morning,

1031

Speaker 4: They got a shirt to commemorate it. When he went

1042
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 4: to Lake Placid.

1043
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 3: After that, he brought the shirt with him, carried it

1044
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 3: there in a bag, and he went to an open

1045
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 3: spot in the wall near where the face panter was

1046

00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 4: Tomorrow is tomorrow's big day.

1050
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 2: That's what I'm like most jealous about sports.

1051
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: Sports used to be crazy like that, Like your uncle

1052
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: felt such passionate about US hockey winning the gold medal

1053
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: over those dirty Soviets that he went and visited Lake Placids,

1054
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: like I'm getting a shirt to never forget this moment.

1055
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 4: That's sick.

1056
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 2: We just don't do that with sports anymore.

1057
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 3: We just don't have that kind of like passion for

1058
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 3: individual moments anymore because we just have rolledex to them

1059
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 3: all the time, Like we can think about and see

1060
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 3: these things. You want to see a clip of that,

1061

Speaker 2: In New York City and roof for a team in

1064
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: another country. It doesn't really matter anymore.

1065
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 3: You can live in New York City not even know

1066
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 3: like the World Series is going on like if that.

1067
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 3: I remember I was walking around the West Village two

1068
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 3: years ago with the Yankees Dodgers playing Game five, and

1069
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 3: I was going with friends, like from dinner to go

1070
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 3: to the restaurant to watch, to go to the bar

1071
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 3: to watch it. I think you messed out the night

Speaker 1: There was like a like massive Neon bike thing going

1078
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: on on that street. There was thousands of people like

1079
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 1: you're choosing this instead of watching the World SERI.

1080
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 3: Nuts, it's happening in your city. It's funny time to
